If on the other hand you're making a 30 track mixtape, it'll cost you three times as much when hiring the studio. If it takes you an hour and a half of studio time to record and mix down each song, it'll take you 15 hours to put together a 10 track mixtape.
This may sound obvious, but it's something that's sometimes over looked. The more tracks you have to record, the more money you'll have to pay in studio costs. In comparison, making your mixtape shorter has a number of bigger benefits: It Won't Cost As Much Money To Make You can still show your diversity with 10 full tracks plus skits, and the quality can be a talking point in it's self. While the points of showing your diversity and giving people a talking point are something you may want to aim for, they aren't enough of a reason to make your mixtape super long. Why is this? Well, first of all it'll help you achieve more beneficial goals. In fact, you don't even need to do as many as 15 tracks. Now me personally, I'd advise you to do a shorter mixtape. And make sure it's better then the level of most others. So if you go down this route, make sure you have good tracks to back it up. If you say you have a 40 track mixtape for example, even if the majority of tracks are quite short, this still sounds quite impressive to a lot of people.īeware though, as on the flip side there are also people who feel that having a large number of tracks is just a played out gimmick. The amount of tracks you have on your mixtape is often used as a boasting point. If you want to go down this path, be sure to improve your rapping as much as possible first. So only do this if you're confident you can continue to deliver quality time and time again. And even if you manage to avoid this happening, it can be difficult for some to reach heights of their early mixtapes if they've already used up all their best ideas.
The only problem with this is that some of your tracks might start to sound too samey after a while. If you have a lot of different subject matters to talk about for example, or if you want people to hear you on a lot of different beats. These include: Showing Your DiversityĪ lot of rappers like to make their mixtapes longer as they feel it showcases more of what they can do.
So while it's preferable to do shorter mixtapes in a most situations (I'll look at which below), there are some occasions when having a longer mixtape may be the better choice for you personally.
