Music mixed with trackouts vs 2-track instrumentals
As an artist currently finalizing a project that's being mixed entirely using 2 track instrumentals, I'm curious to hear what u all think on this.
I understand that mixing with trackouts is ideal and that mixing with 2-tracks results in overall quality being sacraficed a bit but i'm also of the belief that most fans(especially hip-hop fans in this day and age) don't really care for the most part as long as the music is at least listenable. Trackouts can be quite expensive and even sometimes not always available.
How much modern hip hop do u all think is being mixed with just the 2-track file instead of trackouts? And overall do you think music being mixed with trackouts makes that huge of a difference to the average listener?
