major artist does their job, makes music. endless content.

their team also does their job by endlessly promoting the artist's work (new-age tactics be damned).

boo f***ing hoo.

sure, it's tiring for non-fans, and even some fans at this point. but either people forgot that the music industry is still the music business, or...

i don't see the point in ranting every week about Taylor/Republic wanting to keep their album at the top, acting as if it's all personal sabotage against other artist's releases. that's just how the game go, dummy

Its her sound. If anyone is allowed to stick to it, it's her.

That made a little more sense when there wasn't actually a lot of representation otherwise. There's plenty now.

it’s the “game” but we also can call her out for it

she’s the only one doing this stuff

She does the sound well, but I wish I could see why people see this as the sum total masterpiece of her career

And I'm sorry man, for as long as there are gay men there will be mothers to make out of straight women, it's just one of those things

ok im being dead fr how do i make a good vocal chain because im just using stock ones that i bought right now (like insert singer here style vocal chains) and also how do i mix my vocals to sound good on youtube beats and not like they’re just sitting on top of them

do you recommend i invest in or pirate some s*** like iZotope or those tools that are like AI mixer masters or what

Honestly, I like to keep it simple.

I record at -12db then from there

Put a limiter on the MP3 track

Compressor -> EQ - Reverb -> and maybe another personal effect depending on the song like a spreader

Now mixing with an MP3 can be difficult, but it’s what most people do today.

What I like to do is while I’m mixing, I’ll have my compressor open and within there I will work with a “threshold” between 2-3.5:1 ratio, I’ll put the “Knee” at like 0.4 and “Attack” at 0. I’ll have “makeup” at about 5 and “release” at about 50.

Most of my mixing happens in the compressor tbh, so from there I’ll look at my compressor and I’m pretty much just trying to “cut” my vocal so it stays in a between -10 to -5 on my meter in my compressor. This can be done by adjusting the threshold until the meter falls within the range I said.

After that, I pretty much just start EQ, where tbh, I just use presets and adjust from there until I like it. The more you cut from it or turn up the right side, the less or more high frequency sounds you have. The more you cut or turn up from the left, the less or more low frequency sounds you have.

The more you cut or turn up from the middle, the less or more mid frequencies you have. Nipsey liked to turn this up because he liked to sit on top of the beat. This might be where you solve your issue a little bit, but not completely. Try cutting the middle of your vocal in an EQ and see how that affects it.

It’s a lot, but the more you keep practicing and watching videos, the more you’ll learn and get a work flow. I am still far from knowing anything, but that’s just what I do to keep it quick, simple and sounding well enough.

Here’s a few examples of my songs I recorded and mixed with the above instructions
