Finally Made it To Mixing and Mastering (BOLO)


Up to the present time I have been working on my latest project. Even though I would typically  record at  Emmy award winning Ya Momz House Studio in East Liberty Pittsburgh PA, I decided  to work on my project at home. In recording my mixtape in a home studio there were pro's and cons. On the positive side, I was able to focus on  being creative instead of worrying about  running out of studio time.  In addition I also had the opportunity to produce my own tracks. However above all, I  was able to save funding resources to invest elsewhere in promoting my project.  Nevertheless there were also negatives to recording my project in a home studio.  The most difficult part  of recording my project at home was the fact I had to learn how to mix. Granted I have great equipment in my home studio there is no cutting a great sound engineer out the picture.  Luckily I had Lemar French  there to help me through the entire process from the tracks that started with a horrible mix to the transformation of them  in to quality sounding songs.  Personally  if I could do this project again I would do it the same way. I think it was a great learning experience. At the same time being on tour and having a home studio has really helped me mold this project. Because the moment I would come back to Pittsburgh I could run straight to my lab to pour my experiences into each track.  Therefore I really loved the convenience  and it has also improved my work ethic.

In the picture above I am actually sitting down with Lemar French preparing to master my tracks  for my project. Lemar French is the genius behind the quality of my tracks. Make sure to tune in next week as show a VLOG of us sitting back listening to some tracks finished up in the master.

We are looking forward to a live  year. I hope everyone reading  the blog sticks with us to bring this year to life.

New Song Lane Switching

Lane Switching is smooth riding bounce track that I was inspired to make while on tour this summer. When I made it the hook and lyrics just rolled off of my tongue effortlessly. Right there I knew people would like it. So far we have been receiving great feedback on it. Therefore I wanted to share it online with everyone. This will be the first video shot from my upcoming project. But Let me know what you think
