This week’s suggestion is from Producer @aaron_horn_
He suggests that you let the vocals “marinade” and don’t create too much pressure to finish them immediately.
Music is “Woman” by Doja Cat, which is co-written and co-produced by Aaron

Today’s topic is ‘Sonic Identity’, which is a concept I’ve defined to reflect on how the aesthetic sound choices we make can contribute how music is perceived on an emotional level.

This week’s suggest in on balances. Often when I open up my Pro Tools sessions please are surprised by how few plugins I’m using and I always say it’s because you can do so much with just levels.

Today’s suggestion is on knowing when a mix is finished. When I’m able to listen to a song as a fan on a purely emotional level without getting distracted then I know the mix is complete.
