Dance Club Music Mixing

well,

i have been at my first dance single (plus club mix)
for 2 and a half years now.

I reckon i have worked out the melodies by now.

i am mixing, and keep on hearing all these rules with regards to panning, and what should be in mono and what should be stereo and what should be panned so as not to lose the impact of stuff in one particular area of a club.

is it okay to have a bass line in stereo, cause i heard that 12 inch vynil doesnt like stereo bass.

any help for some standard dance music production rules.

There was a topic just like this like a week ago. There Are No Rules. If it sounds good to you, do it

And in that thread, it was found that there is no reason stopping you from making that baseline stereo. A bunch of people already do it with good results.

That's beyond being a musician, that's being obsessive.

Hmmm, well if I worked on something that long, I would give up and move on to something else, but thats me.

RE vinyl and basslines, I believe there are some rules about this in terms of the needle skipping or something, but this would be rectifued in the mastering AT THE PRESSING PLANT! This isn't the sort of stuff you need to worry about in mastering.

Hope this track is bloody good!

You would hope so, no?

Generally you center the low frequencies and pan everything else. Just make sure to test the whole track in mono once in a while to make sure there's no cancelling going on.

the mastering guy will center the stuff that needs centering if itll be cut to vinyl.

If you worked that long on a track, I hope it's a mega Club Hit. Have you done any other tracks besides that one single? Can we hear an sample or something? Wish You all the best with the track man.

I know a producer called dave randall and he spent a year on his tune tweaking it and making it sound awsome.

He said it was just stupid the amount of time he spent making sure it got signed, but it did get signed and he makes sure every tune sounds as good as his first one.

But he wont spend the same amount of time now, he roughly spends about three months i think.

Always put 110% into a tune and not 50% becouse people notice the quality and if a tuen has been rushed to get it out.
