Production stems were created by prodNXV, a frequent collaborator and producer from Germany. These stems were given a rough mix before being used as the baseline for recording vocals. In the hook, there are 6 layers of vocals &#8212; the lead vox, a backing vox with softer delivery sent down the middle, two layers of doubles (same performance as lead vox) panned left and right respectively, and two layers of harmony vox which are panned hard left\/right respectively. All vocal channels are routed to a main vocal bus, which houses the basic plugins used to achieve the desired level and tone for all vox. The harmony vox have their own bus, which adds reverb, some EQ, and various other plugins to set these layers in their own pocket. A side chain vocal bus was created using Waves H-Reverb, the D-16 Repeater for delay, and FabFilter Pro C2 for side chain compression. This method compresses the reverse revers and delay effects while there is signal coming from the lead vocal track, allowing the effects to be heard when there is a break between lines. I also handled to release and marketing of the song, which has received 16,000 streams on Spotify since it&#8217;s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2021\/11\/mus109_mixing_project.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption><strong>TITLE:<\/strong>&nbsp;MUS 109 Mixing and Mastering Project<br><strong>YOUR ROLE:<\/strong>&nbsp;Producer, Mixing Engineer, Recording Engineer<br><strong>MEDIA:<\/strong>&nbsp;Audio Production<br><strong>SOFTWARE:<\/strong>&nbsp;ProTools<br><strong>EQUIPMENT:&nbsp;<\/strong>Apollo Twin MKII Duo, Akai MPK Mini, Akai MIDIMix, Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors<br><strong>SPECIFICATIONS:<\/strong>&nbsp;44.1 kHz Sample Rate, 160 kbps Stereo Bit Rate<br><strong>DURATION:<\/strong>&nbsp;3\u201951\u201d<br><strong>REGION:&nbsp;<\/strong>2:51 \u2013 3:51<br><strong>COURSE:&nbsp;<\/strong>MUS 109 \u2013 Recording and Electronic Music II<br><strong>INSTITUTION:<\/strong>&nbsp;University of Tampa<br><strong>PROFESSOR:<\/strong>&nbsp;Dr. Bradford Blackburn<br><strong>DESCRIPTION:<\/strong>&nbsp;The Mixing Project involved downloading unmixed audio stems from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge-mt.com\/ms\/mtk\/\" target=\"_blank\">this website<\/a> and providing a mix and master within ProTools. I chose a song called &#8220;Bitter&#8221; by FytaKyte. First, a rough mix was achieved by doing simple gain staging and adjusting individual track levels. A part of this project was to write a paper detailing our mixing process with images, which is provided below.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-55ea7fb8-d3e1-44cb-9c75-8aa2973da50a\" href=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2021\/11\/joe_c_mixing_paper.pdf\">Mixing Project Process  Paper<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2021\/11\/joe_c_mixing_paper.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-55ea7fb8-d3e1-44cb-9c75-8aa2973da50a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2021\/11\/12-18-2020-21_lofi.wav\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TITLE:<\/strong>&nbsp;21 Savage Lo-Fi<br><strong>YOUR ROLE:<\/strong>&nbsp;Producer, Mixing Engineer<br><strong>MEDIA:<\/strong>&nbsp;Audio Production<br><strong>SOFTWARE:<\/strong>&nbsp;Logic Pro X<br><strong>EQUIPMENT:&nbsp;<\/strong>Apollo Twin MKII Duo, Akai MPK Mini, Akai MIDIMix, Yamaha HS5 Studio Monitors<br><strong>SPECIFICATIONS:<\/strong>&nbsp;44.1 kHz Sample Rate, 160 kbps Stereo Bit Rate<br><strong>DURATION:<\/strong>&nbsp;1\u201919\u201d<br><strong>Personal Project, 2020<\/strong><br><strong>DESCRIPTION:<\/strong>&nbsp;This track was created to re-contextualize vocals from popular rap artist 21 Savage to fit within a Lo-Fi production.

Drums were programmed using pattern regions, with closed hi-hats being programmed using a midi region for off-grid timing. Bells were played using a patch on Serum. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TITLE:\u00a0SorrowYOUR ROLE:\u00a0Mixing Engineer, Recording Engineer, Mastering Engineer, Songwriter, ArtistMEDIA:\u00a0Audio ProductionSOFTWARE:\u00a0Logic Pro XEQUIPMENT:\u00a0Apollo Twin MKII Duo, Akai MPK Mini, Akai MIDIMix,&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/recording\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">ENGINEERING<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-120","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/101"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":378,"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120\/revisions\/378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fmx298.santiago.bz\/cannatelli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
