4. Week 3: Mix in Pro Tools: Building New Studio

5. Production Challenges
▪ Relying on others ( I gave up)
▪ Doing all production work myself.
▪ Building the scene on the beach,
during the first meeting is weak.
There is no real visual .
▪ Consider cutting back off the
scene (first meetings,
introduction)
▪ Need to be playful: promiscuous.
▪ Keep everything playing to
together; keep it flirtatious.
▪ Still want hardcore

6. FINAL MIX – Thoughts & Reflections
04/02/2018
▪ Deleted vocals
▪ Focused on piano sounds. I
wanted to keep the hip hop feeling
and mix the TRUE hip hop sonic
with the Minneapolis sound.
▪ The deleted the lyrics from the
song which was very racy. Now I
know the nature of the song; and
only wanted to convey that
emotion through the music.
▪ I also cleaned the introductory
scene. But I was unable to add
organ replacement for the voices. I
don’t have the time.
