The instruments, backup vocals, are all unprocessed from the original recordings. The first mix I created, only contains lead vocal processing. It is indeed already mastered, from the perspective of whoever put them together, well enough to be heard, understood, and enjoyed. The original mix is, in its own respect, is well balanced, and of very good quality. So, with that in mind, here is the original version of the song and two additional mixes I would submit for approval.

I would probably present a couple of different perspectives to the Artist and wait for feedback as to how to proceed. There are no solos or other musical highlights so I believe going forward a bit with the vocals would be appropriate. In this particular example, however, I think it would be okay to do a little bit of vocal processing, since as I mentioned, nothing else is up front and I believe a bit of color would add some character to the vocals and the song as a whole. What I mean by that is that the tracks are recorded rather dry, so I wouldn’t want to change them too drastically, without the Artist’s consent. As a Producer, I want to bring that up front, without changing the overall intent of the Artist. When I listen to the lyrics, and the way in which they are delivered, along with the musical accompaniment, this Artist is telling a story, in the best way she knows how. I do not believe this is the Mastered version of the song, nor have I talked to the Artist about the song so, whatever I might express here is based upon only the tracks that were provided and the tracks that you hear.īack to my point…from a production viewpoint, given the tracks I had to work with and without communication with the Artist, my approach would be to focus on the aforementioned elements, the vocals and the delivery of the vocals. I must also point out that the tracks that were offered, to the best of my knowledge are exactly what I described earlier, raw. That’s what, “All about the song” means and in my opinion, is what experienced, talented, musicians and performers understand. The song must be absorbed in its entirety.

If you disassemble a full blown, symphonic recording, you will also find that individual tracks sound undramatic and boring.

I am not downplaying the music or the musicians. Now please do not misconstrue what I am trying to illustrate. Without those two things, the music itself would be rather undramatic and plain. The supporting instruments and tracks all seem to cater to those too things, the lyrics and the vocal performance. When I listen to this song, from a production standpoint, I am hearing some very, powerful lyrics, along with a very, impressive vocal performance (Applause).

So, in this demonstration, I used a song written and performed by a young artist named Sophia Jane (Applause), which I think is perfect for my purpose. What it does, is allow the DAW User the opportunity to work with the software, using tracks that have been recorded, which saves a lot of time, since a great deal of the time to mix and produce a song, is spent Tracking. This is in no way intended to diminish the importance of micing or otherwise Tracking the original instruments used in creating the tracks. They contain pretty much raw tracks from artists, I presume other Cakewalk users, which I also presume were distributed with the purpose of giving the User the opportunity to work with the software.įirst, credit must be given to those involved because having these tools does give the user the opportunity to quickly digest the meat and potatoes of the software.
