Hello,

First of all, I want to say that this is already a great song as it is! I agree with Baobou. Sidechain has become an essential part of music production. However, its important to decide beforehand what should take priority over what! For example, vocals over music, bass over drums, etc. Another important point in mixing is to group instruments into meaningful categories on a BUS track. This has the advantage that if I want to increase the volume of the guitars, I dont have to adjust each individual guitar track, but simply change the volume of the group. Within this group, the individual instruments must of course be mixed beforehand.

For vocals, we work with dry and wet tracks. This means that the original vocal track is on one track, and effects like reverb or echo each have their own track. This way, effects can be better integrated and spatially distributed. The whole thing is then grouped together and further processed. These are just examples. There are thousands of other ways to realize a mix.

Best regards and a Happy New Year, Manuela

#DOPEBEAT #TIGHTFLOW VERY WELL DONE, LOVE ALL THE INSTRUMENTATION WORKING TOGETEHR TO COMPLIMENT THE VOCALS. GOOD JOB, THANKS FOR SHARING.

Dude, this is so beautiful. It seems to me that this sound that appears from time to time is a little bit. This futuristic synth, you need to raise its lows a little bit. And otherwise everything is very good. Well, let's raise the bass drum too.

So the idea of using sidechain on a compression is that the track A you're compressing (eg an instrument) gets a bit more compression when track B you're sidechaining (eg the vocal) is louder. So you sort of punch a hole in the intrument for the vox to shine through.
The other standard example is to put a compressor on your bass and sidechain it to your kickdrum. When the kick is played, the bass gives way a little bit, and that means you don't have to dial up the kick to insane levels to still hear it.
It's a neat little trick - it's not suddenly a world of difference, but when you get used to it you can hear it, and at some point you also start hearing when it's missing.
Good luck my young goosy friend!

Great to see another producer trying to do it all. Good job!
I think you produced a great track; to get to the next level you probably face a similar problem to me; slightly smoother vocals.
I think you can probably dial them back a bit to fit them better in the balance of the mix; but compress the synths/keys with sidechain so the vocals (despite being slightly less loud) still stand out more.
I might be wrong on that though. There are many producers here that are a million times better with vocals than I am and don't get me wrong, you already did a great job.
Great track. Keep creating!

Incredibly cool - love the rap over the top of the music and the weird vibe with some of the sounds. Kay
