PRODUCTION & RECORDING

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing.

Kiara Moreno opens up a Kodak Black mix built around one vocal and a surprisingly small number of plugins. The session is a look at how much, or how little, you actually need to do when the record already knows what it wants to be.

The breakdown will cover vocal processing, speed, decision-making, and developing a workflow that stays out of the way of the artist and production. Kiara will also talk about working on records that pass through multiple engineers, and how to add value without feeling the need to leave your fingerprints everywhere.

The mix isn't where you demonstrate how much you know. It's where you demonstrate how well you understand what the record needs.
