IF YOU HAVENT HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE IM ALWAYS TRYIN TO IMPROVE. AT FIRST ON LOUD IM LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THE DEAL WITH THIS ONE TRACK RECORDING SHIT. SINCE I STARTED ON HERE MY WHOLE RECORDING AND ENGINEERING THEORY HAS CHANGED. I USED TO APPROACH TRACKS THINKING THAT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LAYERING WAS NEEDED TO ACHEIVE A GOOD SOUND. AFTER WORKING ON LOUD, AND USING A 20 DOLLAR MIC THROUGH A LAPTOP AND GETTIN A SOME WHAT FULL SOUND USING ONE TRACK, NO CHOPS , AND NO PLUGINS IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT MAYBE THE WAY I USED TO PUSH THE BANDWIDTH WAS PREVENTING ME FROM ACHIEVE A CLOSER TO INDUSTRY SOUND. I ALWAYS USED TO DOUBLE MY VERSES, AND USALLY PAN THE DOUBLE A LIL BIT AND TURN IT DOWN, AND NOW IT SEEMS LIKE THERES REALLY NO NEED FOR A DOUBLE ON A VERSE. FOR MY OVERDUBS ID DO 2 TRACKS AND OF THE SAME OVERDUBS AND PAN ONE ALL THE WAY LEFT AND ONE ALL THE WAY RIGHT, THEN I MIGHT DO SOME HARMONIES IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE VERSE WHICH CONSISTED OF 2 TO 4 MORE TRACKS, AND THEN MAYBE A TRACK OF EXTRA BACKGROUNDS. IVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS DIDNT ENHANCE MY MUSIC BUT TOOK AWAY FROM IT. SAME FOR HOOKS EVERY HOOK WAS A MANDITORY 4 TRACKS PANNED L R L R, AND THEN ID LAYER OTHER HARMONIES IN SOMETIMES AND SHIT ON SOME HOOKS ID USED 20 TRACKS, WHEN MAYBE ONLY 4 ARE NESSISARY. YESTERDAY I RECORDED A VERSE FOR MY BOY JOE WIGGLES MIX TAPE, I DID ONE TRACK, ONE TRACK OF OVERDUBS, AND 2 TRACKS OF ADLIBS FOR MY VERSE. TODAY I STARTED MIXING PROCESS AND AFTER I MAXIMIZED THE VERSE AND PUT A LIL COMPRESSOR ON IT IT ALREADY SOUNDED BETTER QUALITY WISE THAN ANYTHING IVE EVER DID, THATS PRE EQ AND ANY CHORUS OR ANYTHING I MIGHT THROW ON THERE. I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH IT I HAD TO TELL YALL ABOUT IT. ILL PROBALLY HAVE THE TRACK IM TALKIN ABOUT AT LEAST A PREVIEW VERSION OF IT UP ON THE SCUMMED OUT INC, MYSPACE PAGE TONIGHT ILL KEEP YALL POSTED.
