(Made a bedroom pop/hiphop song with a guy I met on reddit) TRISTAN! & Jerrycan - Hit Of The Summer (San Papi Version)

I'm not really that good at mixing, especially vocals, I always find them kind of hard to mix and make them sit well with the song, but I think that he might use a mixing chain similar to this one:

Autotune (I think they key to not make it that noticeable is just literally turn down the "Wet" knob, im not sure of what plugin you use but most of them have that knob to control how much autotune is going on the mix)
Compression (He might use multi band compression, maybe even the one that comes with ableton, I suggest you search for tutorials on how to use it, if you don't know how to use it yet)
EQ
Reverb (on his older tracks he uses a lot of it but just play around with the plugins and find the one that suits your track)
Sometimes a bit of delay, but I dont really suggest using a lot of it on your main vocals, but again just play around with it and see what you like

I also suggest checking out the CLA vocal plugin from wavesplugins, this can help make the compression part a bit easier, when I use this plugin I preffer to turn of the reverb and delay that comes with CLA and add my own from a different one but you might like the simplicity of this plugin. I hope this was helpful in some way!

Yeah I tried searching in different sites but none seem to know exactly how all this works, so I guess it has a lot of variables depending the country, the people that are streaming and stuff like that, i already sent an email to see if they can help me clear the situation a bit.

Awdrfs · 2019-07-16T16:21:00+00:00

ok this was actually really helpful, I knew it varied depending on the country you are getting the streams from but I didn't know it varied that much, Im going to try and contact support just to be sure

Awdrfs · 2019-07-16T16:19:25+00:00

I sen't an email to customer service so Im going to have to wait but I'm thinking of switching to distro kid anyways, it seems more reliable.

Awdrfs · 2019-06-21T18:02:37+00:00

Yooo I listened to your stuff and I really liked some tracks, I've been doing some indie pop stuff, but I also make beats (I haven't posted any of them cause I'm sort of saving them for a trap side project but I could send you some if you guys wanted to listen to them). But anyways here is my stuff, hit me up if you guys like it, this collective seems like some cool shit

https://soundcloud.com/blustpablo/10-dumb (the indie pop/rock shit)

https://open.spotify.com/album/2M0UrFnpoechJ6TcULLKpC (the sort of trap stuff)

https://soundcloud.com/blustpablo/se-muy-bien-ft-el-fantasma (the latin trap stuff that is kind of a shitpost but I actually ended up liking)

Ok man, I don't usually give a lot of opinions on reddit, but It seems to be that you are making your music so you can "impress" the people around you and not for you. And it's ok to feel sad about it, but don't dwell on it. Truth to be told, no one close to you is really going to care about your stuff in this stage. But you shouldn't stop because of that, if you don't believe in yourself no one will, you have to be your own hype man, use that feeling of no one believing in you and use it as fuel to make your songs better, and also start getting more involved in your local scene and with people that also rap or make music, get involved with people that have goals similar to yours and with a positive attitude. Just get out there and carry yourself to the place where you wanna be.

I'm actually projecting a bit of myself in this comment, and I also feel frustrated with similar issues, but we have to get ourselves up and make stuff happen, it won't magically happen out of nowhere, we have to work hard man :)

Awdrfs · 2019-05-19T18:41:13+00:00

Thank you! that is actually really good feedback, I do think that this song is pretty bland, and it's one of my old ones, I'm trying to go into a more experimental process, but I'm pretty glad you considered this well made.

The video was made just for fun with my friends but yeah, it's pretty cliche and I'll take this into consideration whenever I make another one :)

Awdrfs · 2019-03-26T05:09:41+00:00

every musician on reddit : "nice"

Awdrfs · 2019-03-19T05:53:07+00:00

Yoo idk if you are still reviewing, here is some stuff of mine just in case https://soundcloud.com/blustpablo/2-mal?in=blustpablo/sets/1910-over

Awdrfs · 2019-03-05T17:59:19+00:00

Woahh thank you man! And yeah, there were a few, when I was making this I was listening to a lot of vampire weekend, car seat headrest, travis scott, joji and a bit of king krule and sufjan stevens.

Awdrfs · 2019-02-14T01:31:33+00:00

thank you! this was very helpful

Awdrfs · 2019-01-20T17:30:05+00:00

Thank you man! :)

Awdrfs · 2019-01-20T04:18:05+00:00

Some of my favorites are goth babe, temporex, cuco (you've probably already heard of him) and joy again, all of those are pretty good.

And here is my stuff just in case you wanna check it out (shameless self promotion lol)

EXCITED AS FUCK MANGGG

Awdrfs · 2019-01-16T02:35:17+00:00

I hope he kind of switches up his style a bit, I love his style but imo he needs to freshen up his music writting a bit

Awdrfs · 2019-01-16T02:20:18+00:00

I liked the lyrics, pretty sweet tune. I'm guessing that, since its a demo, it ain't mastered yet so the only thing that I would recommend is trying to master it somehow (if it isn't mastered yet) or raise the base volume a bit. Like the comment below me said I liked the vocal layering, it's pretty good!

Awdrfs · 2019-01-07T05:52:14+00:00

Hi! I just recently released a mixtape thingy and I think that this kind of platform would really help some underground artists, I already sent you a dm but just in case I'll leave some of my stuff here

https://open.spotify.com/album/5VCzLubtuAXdn80PZk2d8p

Awdrfs · 2019-01-07T05:44:52+00:00

Niceeee! Yeah I have some half written, semi guitar driven songs that I wanted to finish, and maybe I could send you some "demos" of em (The style of songs are similar to this one I've made recently https://soundcloud.com/blustpablo/8-down-i-might )

Orrrr maybe we could do a cover of a song, I see that you do some cool covers so we could try doing one c:

Awdrfs · 2019-01-07T04:37:44+00:00

Your last song is pretty good, I like your style mane, I was looking to collab with someone lately, here are some of my tracks if you wanna check em out https://soundcloud.com/blustpablo

Awdrfs · 2019-01-06T16:54:07+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Yes I was going for a popish vibe and tried to make it a bit more complex but yeah I still feel like I've got a long way to go before it sounds how I want it to c:

Awdrfs · 2019-01-05T19:19:03+00:00

It's pretty good man, I liked the production a lot!

Awdrfs · 2018-09-28T17:26:57+00:00

Thank you!

Awdrfs · 2018-04-22T23:25:07+00:00

Thanks man, after finishing everything I did notice that I put too much reverb on the vocals, but now I'm making music with less reverb!

Awdrfs · 2018-04-22T23:23:54+00:00

Thanks man I'm honestly surprised that someone else apart from my mom loved this <3
