Thread: NEW TRACK BY R&B ARTIST

<p>Check out the track on my profile page. New R&amp;B artist Mel produced by BEATMastersinc. tell me what's missing.</p>
<p>"She's off the chain"</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>What it do boss?....check it......Off of a quick listen, I think the beat is pretty tight but the mix need work. The vocals arrangement needs work....the vocals sound like they are all sitting on top of each other and they do not sit in the music well.....some parts of the vocals are hard to understand....are those just scratch vocals...recut the vocals and pan the backing vocals out from under the main vocals and blending better with the music....do your reverbin', compressin', eqin', etc......mixing.</p>
<p>Something I usually get hit with is make sure your music has distinguishable parts....verse/hook/bridge/etc.....you have something to work with but it needs some mix work at least.....but I like the beat though def.....my 2 cents.....keep it grindin'.....</p>

<p>thanx for the feedback homie.&nbsp; i&nbsp; will&nbsp; work on that.....</p>

<p>Whaddup mane!&nbsp; I'll definately cosign wha Curt said.&nbsp; Just to throw in my loose change tho:</p>
<p>The track seems like it would bump hard, especially wit whatever synth u have in the beginnin' that plays throughout the whole track.&nbsp; But, there needs to be some kind of variation somewhere.&nbsp; It just seems like the song was built off a loop (which isn't a bad start).&nbsp; If u can't do anything wit the track musically (as far as changin' up your chord progression to differentiate from verse to hook n bridge), then think about things u can add to it to make it seem like there's other things goin' on.&nbsp; Not every track needs a progression or a lot of different elements to make a song seem different.&nbsp; U have to listen to everything to see wha would be necessary for the track to stand out the way it should (the track n vox).</p>
<p>The mix definately needs to be done.&nbsp; But, before&nbsp;I get into the&nbsp;mix thing, u gotta make sure your recordin' is on point.&nbsp; Even if it is a reference for another artist, they won't get the whole effect of the song if u half-ass it!&nbsp; The song has to be sang as if u already have a deal.&nbsp; In otherwords... wit confidence!&nbsp; U have to be consciencious of your stax.&nbsp; Some people get lazy n think they can get away wit 2.&nbsp; Doublin' isn't gonna help out that much when it comes to R&amp;B.&nbsp; It has to sound full.&nbsp; You're gonna do at least 4 stax, if not more, on a main note.&nbsp; I've seen R&amp;B artist stack a note 6-12 times.&nbsp; That's why the sound is so huge.&nbsp; For a reference, u can do 4 stax, n some notes, like hi ones, can be stacked twice... dependin' on how it sounds of course.&nbsp; When your recordin' sounds good, then go after the mix.&nbsp; This is wha matters the most.&nbsp; Make sure your vox aren't pokin' out over the track all crazy, n make sure your track has a solid sound throughout.&nbsp; Compression will end up bein' your best friend for both of these tasks, so do some homework on it.&nbsp; Consistancy is key... n be sure to watch your dynamics in the song.</p>

I agree with them. Just a little work and your on your way.
