This is the whole project file with all of the audio tracks in, as you can see there is a sum track for the drums which groups all the tracks through one output.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is the mix window, here you can see all the fader volumes, panning, and effects that are on the tracks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I did some automation on the vocal track where it clipped towards the end, reducing the volume in a short point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is a distortion I added to the vocals, this created that almost radio like effect which I think sounded really good with the style of the song.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is a reverb I added to one of the vocal tracks to create space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are 3 different kinds of EQ that I experimented with, console eq, tube eq, and the usual parametric eq.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is a compressor that I used on the vocal with light settings, I applied this compressor 4 times to reduce the difference in volume on the main vocal train.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is an exciter, which creates more harmonics on the high end creating a crisper and more present sound. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is an echo that I added to the ‘wet’ vocal track along with the reverb to create space in the vocal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
