Question about Hooks
IP: EECB F471
whats up everyone? Im gettin into producing and mixxing my own stuff. im currently running Acid 4.0 and Sound Forge 7.0. Im wondering how to make my hooks sound professional (minor effect), without over effecting the crap out of them (and makin the sound like a $15 mic). If anyone is familiar with these programs, or can point in the right direction anyway with help, plz get back at me. Thnks in advance...

the program doesn't matter, they all do the same basic shit.
And what you're asking about is just some slight reverb and playing with the EQing to differentiate the hook vocals from the vrse vocals. tricks of the trade type stuff

true not all hooks have the name of the song. Be original playboy do what you do, just like Apexx said you gotta mess with the Eq's.

hate to give you the least wanted answer in history but "it depends". What commercial sound are you searching for? And what mixtape sound are you searching for? every artist uses a different type of EQ set, like Jay-Z uses reverb tricks, and 50 uses heavy harmonic tricks, for example, so it's easier to identify the sound you're looking for by song or by artist or by album because there's so many different sets.

^^well you're in luck since both G-Unit and Knoc both rely on harmic tricks. You can get a similar efect by recording your hook in different tones of voice in 3 layers, instead of all in one layer. like one medium, one high and one low. from there, soften em and you're ready to go.

fuckin idiot i'm writing songs on the regular so i am perfectly qualified to tell you that saying the name of the song in the hook isn't necessary eg Speed Laws Stan Guilty Conscience Role Model to name a couple therefore get your facts straight |
