BLOG 24 – POP TRACK LYRICS & VOCALS: COMPLETE

I have now completed all parts of the vocals for the pop song! I am very pleased with the outcome of these vocals and I have ensured that a good use of harmonies have been used throughout the track. This was in order to create a choir like sound to the track, bringing the vocals out more. Albano (2016) further enhances that ‘there’s more to creating good vocal harmonies than just using pitch shifting software‘, this is something I didn’t want to do, mainly because I wanted to create a more natural sound to the vocals, however, we both experiments with some parts of the main track by using ‘pitch shift’ plugin creating a lower pitched voice effect.

I then sent the track with all the vocals to Connor who then gave me his opinion –

It is now a case of mixing and further editing the arrangement of the track as suggested by Connor. Below shows the various points that Connor makes of the track so that I can try mixing it myself on Logic Pro X.

What Next?

Mixing is definitely needed for this track and this will be explored in the next few blogs.

1. Research into understanding mixing and mastering
2. Continue to work with Connor of the overall sound of each track
