Now that the rapper has written to the beat you've made
it's time to record their lyrics

We'll show you how to set up your mic, record your vocal &
do over dubs

If you need assistance with tracking a vocal or getting a rapper ready to
record and you feel they need it here are some sources you can contact.
Re-do's14:06
You may love your vocals the way they were done on the day of tracking.
However, sometimes when you wake up the next day your vocals just dont
make you happy anymore. This is common. Just go back and touch up
the parts of the vocal you don't like.
Mixing the entire track53:43
Happy with vocals? If not just go back and watch the previous video again.
If you are happy then let's mix the vocals and the track together to make
a song
Getting your mix ready for a Mastering engineer or Master your self5:39
You've made it this far?!?!
Congrats! A lot of beats don't make it this far.
A lot of beats sit on hard drives for years because
the producer has no idea how to finish them. If you know
someone who is like this send them to simpliv.com :)

Mastering is the final touches of a song.

Requirements

No experience is required but Garage band or logic pro x on your computer is needed to practice
