Fix My Mix: Lets Talk About Your Song’s Mix: Hakim Callier
Hakim Callier is a mix engineer and music producer based in New York City. He graduated from the Institute of Audio Research (NYC) and has mixed records by Kristin Hersh, Jeff Caylor and Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band.

He is offering free mix consultation services until July 27, 2010. During this time he will review your submissions and discuss them with you them from the mix’s perspective. We will discuss any questions you may have on:

The Sounds (your sound selections and making them bigger)
The Trends (common trends in you musical genre)
The Story (how the mix should match the song)
The Freshness (keeping the mix fresh and interesting)
The Space (height, depth and width)
The Lead (the most important voice/instrument in the song)
The Scene (this refers to the mood, and character of the mix, vintage, modern, etc.)
The Big Picture (pulling it all together to grab the listeners attention)
Hakim says, “I am looking forward to discussing these very important elements with you about YOUR song’s MIX .”

Dear all,

Please vote for Songs of Love Foundation to receive $1m

By next week many of the music industry professionals on Music Xray will be donating part or all of their submission fees to one of many worthy charities we will make available. We are reminded this week by the tragedy in Haiti of just how important it is to be generous to those in need. For years we have admired the work John Beltzer is doing at the Songs of Love Foundation and now, if Songs of Love receives the most votes, Chase Bank will make a $1m donation to this very worthy cause. All it takes is your vote. You don’t even have to make a donation.

Get a professional song critique.

You probably notice that some of the opportunities (and many of the new ones we’re introducing today) are for professional song critiques. If you have any doubts as to the value of professional feedback you can read a couple blog posts here:

Why You Should Have Your Songs Professionally Critiqued

Who You Should Ask To Critique Your Songs

Most importantly, this is one of the best ways to discover what you really have on your hands. Getting just a few professional opinions of people who are accomplished in the business can give you the confidence to know your song is ready to be pitched to real opportunities or the insights to make the improvements you need. Many of these professionals can help you in more ways than one. Engaging a professional for a song critique or career coaching can be a way to start a relationship that endures and that can result in real steps forward for you and your music.
