Hey everybody! I'm a producer, and people call me ZMoney.
I heard the demo of this song on the main page. Immediately after hearing the excerpt with her voice and a part of the chorus, I knew it was a great song! One night mix.
I take a lot of inspiration from CLA and Andy Wallace, JJP, Manny (the big guys). They don't keep you guessing when the chorus is. They don't make you wonder what the lead is. Their work has character and nuance. They' don't overdo things. I listen to their stuff all the time just to keep my targets high.
Song was great! Background vocals were a little chaotic. I added some triggered drums on the chorus. Automated a bunch of delays and reverbs. Tried to make the stereo image wider beyond standard and interesting (in the chorus, almost like two different songs on the left and right channels - a CLA thing).
The way I focused on the song was keeping things mostly un-soloed at the beginning (rarely soling stuff), and focusing on what it would be like to hear the song for the first time. Obvoiusly, looking through the lens like that, you want to make it interesting and ear-grabbing!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Drums - EQ, Reverb, Parallel Compression (low) + Triggers on the Chorus
Guitars - Pretty much EQ, Comp, and some tracks have reverb
Vocals - Literally a Highpass filter, a compressor, and deeser. Parallel Compression + Reverb + 3 different delays (automated)
Background - Distortion, doublers, reverb, phasers
Enjoy!
