Breath Management in Rap Mixes

Deciding to reduce breaths in a rap mix depends on style, vibe, and preference:

1. Keep Breaths: Adds authenticity, enhances rhythm, suits raw, emotional tracks.
2. Reduce Breaths: Creates a polished sound, balances the mix, suits commercial styles.
3. Context: High-energy tracks may need fewer breaths, while introspective ones benefit from keeping them.
4. Tips: Lower volume subtly, stay consistent, and use automation or de-essing.

It’s a creative choice aligned with the artist’s vision and the track’s goals.
