Synthesizers, minor keys and languorous arrangements set the ambiance to lyrics that are reflective and confessional.
#Thank me later album remix cut and pro#
Then brings in the kick, snare and bass.īut like morningstar said.this is nothing special at all.it is exactly what the majority of pro AND amateur engineers that I've worked with teach and do. Thank Me Later introduces Drake with a moody and sparse production. Then go back and turn off everything but the vocals and create the best sounding vocal he could make. 40 probably would create a mix for Drake to rap on. Now if only she could find an appreciative label home in the U.S. The mixes are also likely to have been built around the vocals. We're looking forward to Sledge's new album of dance and R&B/pop material. He keeps a nice dry vocal up front and processes his delays and reverbs on a separate track and just matches up the volumes. I'm confident he is using a lot of parallel processing. In Drake's case, he ALSO has some pretty expensive gear that can be used without even turning a knob that is going to do a lot of the highlighting that we are talking about.īut to even further the argument.a lot of So Far Gone was recorded very cheaply and some of the mixes were headphone mixes with a mastering limiter that 40 used to match all of the volumes of the mixtape that "sounded like an album." Drakes vocals sound the way they do a lot because of his DELIVERY and 40's proper micing technique in different environments. I think the most important piece of MorningStar's advice was that Drake sounds like Drake.Īs an engineer, you have to understand the quality of a person's voice in terms of what to highlight and what to subtract. Since you never returned to the thread with a reply about how that all turned out, I'm going to have to assume that that simple eq advice didn't get you what you were wanting. The songs that I'm talking about on his new Thank Me Later album are:įireworks, Karaoke, The Resistance and Cece's InterludeįP won't let me add links to Youtube to show you the songs that i'm talking about, so just search the songs on youtube if you haven't heard the album yet. If any of you could recognize the effect or style right off the back or even have a suggested method of producing a similar effect I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure how else to explain it, i know most of you are experts at analyzing different songs, i did some searching and haven't found anything relating to the effects he uses. I like the way his vocals sound on a couple of the tracks, you can see that it sounds very mellow and ambient.
Drake has already picked up two Grammy nominations, and he doesn’t even have an album out yet. I understand the concept of layering audio tracks and using different effects such as reverb, expanders and eq's but it doesn't seem like i could achieve the same effect using just those methods. Drake, Thank Me Later (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown) Release Date: March 2010. I know Drake uses Auto-tune on some of his songs, but on his new album a couple of the songs sound a little different.
