This song consisted of vocal tracks and an instrumental. Proper EQ was used to make space for the vocals, along with exact volume automation to ensure vocals stayed in the perfect spot throughout the song.

Hip-hop is a fun genre to mix. There’s lots of focus on the rhythm section, bass and drums. However, vocals are the main focus and are usually compressed and maintained in the front of the song. Most songs are full of warmth and pair well with colorful EQs and warm saturated compressors like in these songs. Lastly, everything was run through summing and tape to be mastered at competitive streaming levels.

Instrumental tracks have a lot of potential. This one was a minimalistic approach which allowed reverbs to fill up some of the space yet still maintain an aggressive tone. A lot of processing was used for the 808, kick drum and snare to ensure they retained the focus throughout the song. After volume automation, the song was mastered through colorful EQs and compressors to industry levels.
for KezKingdom
This song relied heavily on the ambience and environment created by reverbs and delays. To clear out some room for those effects, eq was used to carve frequencies from tracks using unnecessary space while maintaining the instrument’s presence. Because of this and volume automation, the music was able to live in a beautiful, serene environment that emphasized the artist’s emotion. Some 808 tuning was required and was tuned to the key of the song. Mastering afterwards was realized with colorful EQs and silky tape saturation for a stream-ready song.
for Rashad
This track is really playful and was extremely fun to work on. Because the vocals consisted of multiple takes, editing was necessary to create the perfect take, also known as vocal comping. Pitch correction with Melodyne was used for the chorus and bridge vocals. Afterwards, using EQ and volume automation allowed for the right effects to be placed on the tracks. The song was mastered through silky tape saturation and brought to competitive stream levels.

This was an amazing opportunity and I enjoyed mixing and mastering both bands in this benefit concert. Both groups required drum replacements, in particular the kick and snare. Small vocal pitch correction was used but not enough to ruin the live feel. Colorful EQs were used to make some room for ambience and to bring the room to life, especially within the stereo realm. After lots of audio saturation and processing, the song was mastered to YouTube broadcast standards through summing and silky tape saturation.
