Audio engineers don't get enough credit. Sure, you'll have a Jay-Z shoutout here, a Kendrick Lamar mention there--maybe even a Waka Flocka tag at the beginning of a song, but as a whole, engineers are the unsung heroes of modern music.
If you don't know what an audio engineer does, allow me to clue you in: they're basically the reason that your favorite song sounds as good as it does. It's one of the most important jobs in music, and believe me, a mix can make or break a song.
Having said that, allow me to introduce you all to #TheBeatTape, an instrumental project produced by one of the aforementioned unsung heroes of modern music: Meech Mixes. With 8 versatile tracks ranging from trap to electro, #TheBeatTape is the perfect introduction to the Chicago-bred engineer/producer. This is what a mix should sound like.
