When mixing finns track I had permission from finn to add bits to his track while also adding effects to help with the sound and feel of the track

Adding to the track

When I first had a listen though I found that there need to be a sound of a horn added in so I went to pro tools sound base and had a look for a trumpet witch I couldn't find a good one that fit the track so I had a search for a horn and when looking though I found this old BBC man talking about the horn sound crows make and it fit the sound of the track so with a big of pitch adjustment I and some time stretching and adding some on delay and bypassing it in places I found that it fit nicely

I then found a bit in the track that was just the syths lasted a long time and I decided that the besting to do would be to add some ad libs to this section but the group as not good at thinking what adlibs would work in this track so as we was trying the ad libs we managed to get something that sound a bit like a rap witch made my mind click and say why don't we just rap in that section so I got Sam too think of some lyrics and Adam to rap the lyrics but Adams voice didn't sound right for a rap do I duplicated his raping and pitched it down by 2 semitones

Adding plugins to make the track pop

So I stated by adding a plugin called pro-sub-harmonic witch allow me to push the bass down too fill some of the low end so it doesn't feel empty down in theses frequencies, with this plugin you have too be careful not too add too much extra bass that would make the rest of the track feel lost that why I would adjust this plugin while the track is all together and playing.

I then address the boxy feeling midi piano by adding a bus track and putting some space church reverb on it and then sending -10Db to the bus, this allowed for the piano too sound much more part of the track and less just placed on the track in the correct key

for the lyrics I added I found that adding a low pass filter in an EQ would help neaten up the lows of the track and using the 6050 Channel Striper in IC2 mode to help make the voice sound like they are meant to fit in a hip hop track

for my lyrics down track I just copied other the same Low Pass filtered EQ that I used in the main lyrics

for the echo lyrics track I used automation to make the line "promise ill be fine" volume dip as it repeats and echo's but too go along with the automation I also used a tape echo an EQ to remove bits of the high end and the EC300 to add a gentle delay that pans left and right in the stereo track

I then gave the track a once other with the blue cat frequency annalist and witch looked good and I wasn't missing and frequencies
