![]() This collection pushes the limits of any stereotype you've had about Chill Trap and Liquid Trap. Set your release pretty long so you don't get super-obvious that you're doing this.Īnother option is to split the beat up as described and simply level-balance, maybe even automating the mids and low mids down when the vocals are going.Take a trip on a liquid voyage with 'Liquid Instrumental Trap'. The reason you don't want to just strap a compressor across the 2bus of the beat is because you'll lose elements that aren't clashing with the vocals, like the kick. So now, if the guitars are hard panned left and right, you might want to split the mids and low mids out to M-S and only side-chain compress the sides to duck those frequencies down every time the voice is going. So, for lows, use a lowpass filter set to like 100hz, use a high pass on the low mids set to 80ish and then another low pass around 300, etc etc. ![]() Use an EQ or filter to make these low, low-mids, mids, highs. Multiply the beat 3x so you have 4 versions running simultaneously. You're going to need to consult the Logic Manual for exactly how to do this but here's how I'd approach this problem: It's time to learn all about side-chain compression and multi-band compression. ![]() Now, lets assume that you've got the next and you're completely stuck with the beatmaker not being willing to send wave or stems. See if you can get the stems from the beatmaker. ![]() I'm going to parrot a couple things that have been mentioned: Sorry, that sounds so confusing you just have to try it and see what happens! normally it is used to compare two sounds and then get the second to sound close to the first, but if you use the apply slider on the right with negative values you can get a mirror image of your first track and so the second track is using more of the space the first track is not using.Įdit: using a mp3 as a foundation for your track will not sound very good because it is already crippled in frequencies.īetter ask for proper wave files! no serious musician likes to work with inferior material, because it makes all further steps harder than neccessary. if the four bands of the eq are not enough just add another eq to the next insert and use those bands.Īlso in logic there is the match eq which can also be helpful for this kind of problems. than use narrow q on those bands you want to remove and try to free up space for the vocals. so open two eq windows on your instrumental and on your playback track and compare where the frequencies overlap and clash. If you use the logic eq there is a little button on the left side that says analyzer and if you push it the eq will display a frequency spectrum graph and you can see what frequencies are louder than others. this can help, but it is always better to have all tracks for mixing or you will be stuck with the decicions the beatmaker had made in his mixdown of the instrumental.Īnd if your vocal mix in logic is distorting then there must be something to loud in your session! it cannot distort the instrumental by just playing it together with your vocals -> watch your levels! See if you can get the multitrack version or at least stems of groups if the beatmaker wont let go his individual tracks.Īlso is that second guitar essential for the sound and feel of the track? if not than ask the beatmaker for a version without the second guitar or for a mix with the second guitar sitting lower in the mix. Sometimes you can eq or duck the instrumental to free up some space, but this is very hard if you do not have the individual tracks. they simply occupied all the vocal range with their instruments and forgot to leave some space for that. Some of those beatmakers compose very impressive soundtracks that sound great if you hear them (and make you like to buy them), but if you try to put a vocal on it you come across the very problem you have right now. Did you do the instumental yourself or did you get it from a "beatmaker"?
