"Water Color"

[Block]

What's up guys? Been fucking about with new mixing techniques on some older songs.

Shitty mic at the house, but eh. It works.

Finally you got a youtube account.

I fed this written a while back and said the hook hit home. It didn't really capture what I felt it should've been on here audio-wise. Maybe it's the delivery or something, but it felt weak compared to the actual power of the words.

Vocal quality was pretty good too, some of the echo punch-ins were weird ("away") - you could tell it was on the same layer as the main vocals. Took away from the who idea of a punch-in echo.

I felt you should layer your vocals more too. Adlibs on the rhymes and such, and the ending words. To bring them out more.

This was easy listening though. The beat was chill.

I just listened to the final copy since uploading it. And I fucked up. I left the punch ins on a mono track, and they weren't supposed to be. one layer was supposed to be stereoed. Ehh, oh well. it's mixing practice.


And yeah, about the "away". That wasn't actually a punch in. just more experimenting. It was part of the lyrics themselves.

Gonna keep messing with this. trying to make shitty mics sound 'decent' is good practice.

I think another layer on the hook could have added a lot of emphasis.


Oh, and what did you have in mind for the hook? That's where my mixing needs the most work.

I felt it could've been more harmonized and depthy with reverb.
