Production Tips: Mixing rap vocals

February 08th, 2011

I like mixing. Studio mixing. It’s one of my favorite things to do. You know how some people do gardening and they just zone out? I think that’s how I relate to mixing.

I stumbled upon this great article on mixing rap vocals written by engineer Matthew Weiss. I like how he emphasized on how important it is to know what kind of mix you’re going for, to have certain references… going from the classic mid-90′s Bob Power grit to the glossy Bad Boy sheen. Anyway, check it out!

    love hearing new takes on recording vocals, they are the hardest, but most important part for sure.
