Lemme know what you thought!! Also, we are almost done with Producer Accelerator 2.0 which is the BIGGEST update by a mile to my production course (now including entire courses on music marketing)... use code: PA2LAUNCH to get it lifetime for $299 (lifetime price is going up to $999 when 2.0 is live).

The song 'Sulphur' sounds epic. I love everything that you have done with the track. It’s amassing How you recorded the vocals and mix them? It sounds really big, loud, and just as awesome as possible. This is my thought on what I’m going to say next. You can use it or not; it's totally up to you. What I'm asking for, at the very least, is for you to please consider it. I know you know the rapper called Eminem, and I don’t know if you’ve heard his music or what he sounds like, but please do consider bringing him in to drop a rap verse on this track, as I mentioned.

@Taitmon 6 месяцев назад

There are moments it feels more distracting than helpful, particularly when I should be focusing on the music. I often find myself using it when I'm moving about.

@halfbee7886 6 месяцев назад

I’ve got a question. How do you pan these harmonies, and how do you control their velocity so that the lead vocal would be on top?

@NathanJamesLarsen 6 месяцев назад

As far as panning - it's just simple panning in Logic (pan knobs) - I go for a wide feel so the harmonies are all the way left and right and then some extras halfway with the lead in the middle. And then volume (fader) is just pushing the backups down to keep the lead on top. A lot less complicated and "sexy" as people wanna make it out to be.

@halfbee7886 6 месяцев назад

@@NathanJamesLarsen Does the pitch or frequency matter when it comes to panning? For example, higher frequency or pitch voices should go to the left, while the lower ones go to the right? Or should either left or right have both higher and lower frequencies/pitches, to make everything balanced? And thank you for the previous answer!
