    I subbed thank you. I must admit, I'm a little bit lost with the gating reverb tip. Can you clarify that the gate is being triggered to switch off the reverb of the backing vox, from the lead vox? Doesn't this kind of defeat the object of the long decay on those vocals? Sorry if I got a bit mixed up. I understand all of the other concepts and examples just fine. I suppose my point is, that if we use the ducking technique to compress the reverb when the vocal takes place, and then we gate out the decay, do we hear enough reverb actually happening at all?

    Thought i was a legendary genius for. filtering out 2 track beats to create stems... brought me back to earth real quick... i pretty much do everything here already. Although the double time and half time stuff i will be incorporatimg more i usually do tjat with this tape.delay plugin. It creates a cool double time chop. Some great plugins for hip.hop.beat.proccesing . Waves Linear band eq roll low range off to 33 - 39 . Scoop out some mid range to make space for vocal. Waves center is great for keeping 2 atrack in control a lot of times hip hop 2 tracks have limiters on them and the bass gets wonky and all over the place . Waves center will help you keep bass mono and instruments on the side. Last a vinyl or tape plugin on the beat. It does WONDERSSS TRUST ME. just mix it in to taste. Adding that noise or crackle is what you want it also pumps up and rounds the lows

    #9 is what people need to hear. It applies to everything you said prior and after. If you put in work. EX: 8+ hours a day researching production, audio engineering, etc... your chances increase! Regardless of what you learn from it, you're DOING IT. If you get a decent mic, a basic program (cakewalk) is perfect for beginners and FREE. You will learn about yourself, the process, and it allows you to embark on a whole separate journey that will broaden your perspectives!
