[advice?] working on a track...

i'm working on a track. working with Yoshi, an emcee from
Brighton. I've only incorporated half of his vox so far.

just kinda stuck. i think it sounds ok, but maybe it needs
more? less? keep in mind, i've not mastered this yet.

any advice, comments appreciated.

it's temporarily called

untitled unfinished
!
thanks

man this is sick... his vox are a little muffled in the mix,
maybe bring them up a bit more coz its hard to make out what
he's saying...

musically tho i think its really cool... theres some nice
resonany melody in the background that needs to come out a
bit more too, are you using compression on these things? i
would recommend compressing a little harder and boosting the
highs on the vox, or mids.. the track is fucking mad, if
anything, too much is going on... but i really like it.

It's pretty good as it is. Maybe a little work on the vocals

(production wise) is needed.

I think there are a few things that need doing, but teapot
already said those so i agree with him on it.

yeah
i know what you are saying about it being "busy." thats
kinda my big problem, the beats and stuff competing with the
vox a bit. but maybe if i make some changes to the vox like
you say. i was thinking of adding some subtle
chorus/reverb or maybe just bringing out the mid/high like
you say. something to make them brighter.

I'm just not accustomed to working with a vocalist so i am
very very inexperienced with mixing/mastering vocals.

thanks for the tips though. i'll keep whittling at it.

very nice crisp beat. what type of d-machine did you use if
you don't mind me asking?

that beat i made a while back. i don't remember the exact
process. but i think i just made a simple loop in Fruity
Loops then exported it to Ableton live where i did all the
tweaking and breaks.

fix the vocals. when you reintroduce the beat in the middle
double time it for a few bars. Introduce an instrument in
the latter section at a similar frequency to the vocalists
voice. other than that, interesting track.

the latter section will have another verse i think. Yoshi
just hasn't written or recorded it yet.

but thanks for the other tips. working on fixing the vocals
currently. i think it sounds better already. i might tweak
the beat out a bit more like you say, try it out anyway.

yeh thanks! you guys have been quite helpful.

hrm...
you mean like no beats? just the vox?

or just the vox w/ effects?

i could do that. wonder what it would sound like...

but i like to do beats.

i like beats. it's what i like to do. and big whirring
engine noises. i like that too.
