Prepare to be whisked away into the vibrant, pulsating world of retro wave synth pop. I sit down for an enlightening chat with my pal, Andrew Wood, who you might know better as RogueFX. We dive deep into his inspirations rooted in the swirling soundscape of the 80s and early 90s, and get an exclusive peek into his thrilling new concept EP 'The Fifth Step'. This musical journey is set in a dystopian future plagued by pandemics where memories have been turned into 'mind trips' by shady organizations. Sound fascinating? Well, there's plenty more where that came from!
Next, we switch gears and venture into the technical terrain of vocal production. Ever wondered how to give your vocals that extra oomph? We'll lay out the significance of preamps and emulations, and reveal how something as simple as a doubler plugin can add a whole new dimension to your sound. And if you’re looking to turn up the heat, you will want to hear about the Black Box saturation plugin and the innovative opportunities that iPad Pro’s QBS offers.
Finally, we delve into the art of vocal mixing techniques and effects. We help you navigate through equalizers, reverbs, delays, de-essers, compression, and gain-clipping. But it's not all about the tech, as we also reflect on the importance of not over-processing vocals and strategic use of multiple compressors for varied levels of compression. So pull up a chair, plug in those headphones, and prepare for a deep-dive into the world of music production. After all, you might just stumble upon your next big musical idea.
