Keep The G Real

[Killer Bee]

This is my second attempt at engineering my own track, if any of you have any experience in this field I would appreciate a few tips as I've just been learning on the go. I feel like if I had the right instruction, I could really build upon this skill and make some magic in the studio. With that being said, I'll drop the link to the song down below.

@Killer Bee,

 

It's a good song idea but the vocals are not clear and they're pretty loud as well, in my opinion. I'm not sure how much processing you've done on your vocals but I wonder how the raw audio sounds like? Coz if the audio recording is not clean, there's not much good you can do with it in vocal processing.

 

I'm also a beginner in arranging and mixing. I asked around this forum last year for some help, you might wanna have a glance to see some of the advice I got: http://forums.songstuff.com/topic/43324-i-wanna-learn-how-to-mix/

 

I do not know how to arrange and mix a rap song but for what it's worth, here are a couple of tips from a fellow beginner:

 

• Get cleaner vocal/audio recordings. There are tons of information on the internet concerning tips on getting cleaner recordings but here are a few videos that helped my understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpEi_B12DtY,   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPYt10zrclQ,    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXVGIb3bzHI,    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NGVp2d1mIQ
• Know your DAW. If you can get your hands on some free tutorials regarding your DAW, that would be great. Try checking youtube, I use Logic Pro X and there's tons of tutorials on youtube. And in the process, you will start to understand the functions of different plug-ins in your DAW: EQ, compression, reverb, pitch-shifter, delay etc.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Ami5vB8kE

Hope this helps.

 

All the best,
