My friend wanted a similar type beat to this PartyNextDoor instrumental.

I bounced the recorded vocals to mp3 so I can take it home and edit it.

I mixed, mastered and structured the song at home on Fruit Loops 12. However what I could've done was use noise gate and strip silence on my Rock The Boat track to get a smooth sound track overall.

So I’ve created a RnBass/Trap beat for her to sing over.

Once I’ve finished that beat I got inspired to make another mellow Rnbass/Trap beat. Furthermore I could've improved the mixing and equalising. I felt like the flanger sound effect on the second half of the track was a little loud and I could've made that sound wider to give it an ambient feel. I have also noticed that the hi hats sounded too harsh so i could have cut the high frequencies or boosted the mids and low mids.

Once I have finished the PartyNextDoor type beat, I took it to the studio to lay some vocals down. Two people were featured on this song one male on adlibs and a female who wrote a verse and is singing. I am rapping a verse I have wrote for the song as well to take it up a notch and challenge myself on structuring the adlibs.

The beat I'm improving on is called  'Don't Play Me'. I used Fl Studio took my ideas back home and worked on the melodies. My idea for the song was to set a melancholic mood. Different to the previous upbeat songs. And how I improved it was i added an extra guitar pluck however later on in the process i decide to remove the plucks and use some vocal acapellas and put a Love Philter over it.

I was learning what plugins that would bring the best out of my recordings.

I was learning what plugins that would bring the best out of my recordings.

For example I learnt how to use the multipressor and only using a little and not overdoing it.

I also learnt how to use the pitch correction usefully which is shown in the first song Rock The Boat.

I've learnt a little trick on how to make the vocals sound more wider. By using the stereo sample delay.

I learnt how to remove the harsh 's' sounds (sibilance) by using the Equaliser on Logic.

I made a afrobeat on Fl Studio at home. What gave me the inspiration to make this particular afrobeat was uk artists such as B Young, Steel Banglez, Mostacks and Jhus.
I've noticed that there's so much similarities in all uk afrobeats when it comes to the instruments.
For example they all use marimbas, or xylophones and play triad chords.

I went over the songs and tweaked Wrong Number ending and put a delay on my voice and faded the volume slowly because I did not want it to ending abruptly. Overall as the weeks went by I have gained a lot more knowledge to take on for my next EP.
For Example

Learning to not overdoing and use too much plugins (e.g. Multipressor, Boosting too much frequencies but cutting it)

What really gave my EP that RnB sound ( Making my synth saw bass legato, cutting the high frequencies on my plucks)

Learning how to use the Match Eq and analysing a commercial song with songs from an EP.

However I've noticed what i could've improved on was the equalising on the main melody. There is a lot of bass and low mids and not enough of the highs or mid frequencies to even out the range in spectrum. On the other hand i was happy with the way i strucutured the beat. The stutter and pauses towards to switch it up a little.

I've recorded a female singer over the 'Secret' beat.I recorded a rap verse to challenge myself a little on the performance side of it.
What I had in mind when I heard the title was 'Secrets', I had to record whispers add phaser and flanger some panning here n there to really embody the title of the song. What I liked about the whole process was that me and the artist were on the same wavelength and we both agreed on a catchy chorus that everyone would sing to. I also wanted to bring something different to the table by adding a verse of my own, most of my peers were rapping over their beat however I realised there was not a female rapping over a beat in the class which made mine stand out.

Learning about LFS and how distributing my songs on all music platforms might effect my tracks and could get compressed even more due to the the dB levels on certain platforms.
