Bro are you self taught or did u go to school...NICE WORK

[AvalonPress]

@musyclyfe i've watched alot of videos, read a lot of books, and talked to other engineers. and i learned things on the go. i'm glad my video's helped you in some way

@prettyboywebb i only put Tracks on (in a session) if an artist is only doing one song with me. if they are doing a collection of songs with me, i apply T-racks on to all of the tracks outside of logic, so they all have the same similar sound to one another. as for vocals.. i did not apply any T-Racks effects.

Sometimes i use the T-Racks EQ and Compression, and use an L2 by Waves for the limiter.. it all depends on the sound. each song can sound better or worse with different plugins.

Can you do this for a couple of my tracks?

The reverb vocals in the chorus - was that doubles and panned and little? It seems to have a very pleasing stereo width. What's your take on getting backing vocals to sound FM radio wide? RJ

[PrettyBoyWebb]

did u put the T-racks on the beat and the vocals? did u put it on the master fader so it effects everything

I mix and produce and you actually did pretty good job explaining things
