Texture

CAUTION: Opinions Ahead

 

Inevitably when categorizing your music you'll run into the 'texture' sub-heading for each track. What is texture? It's the overall sound/feel of the track and it's probably the most important consideration you can make save for artist separation and male/female weighted hours.

 

So, how does one prescribe texture? Well, consider two things the next time you dive into your library to further refine your mix;

 

1. INTRO - How does the track begin?

2. CHORUS - How hard, soft or middle of the road do the chorus sound?

 

Keep these two things in mind when retooling your library and a better sound your station will make.
