For my track in the EP, i wanted to aim for a UK/New York Drill type beat which has a dark & eerie vibe to it. I used FL Studio to produce and mix this track as that is the software i am most comfortable. To record the vocals, i used Pro Tools which i found a little difficult to begin with, but quickly got the hang of it.
I aimed for an atmospheric, dark beat with heavy-hitting gliding 808's, punchy drums and mysterious chord progressions. I am very happy with how the track turned out, especially with the mix-down. I personally think that the tape-stop effects used on the instrumental works very well with the vocals. Other effects i am happy with too are the pitching in the vocals used on punchlines, the cuts and chops in the beat worked very well too.
If i could change one thing if i were to go back to the track, i would re-record the hook so it would be perfect. As it was my first time recording vocals, my ear for noticing errors was far worse than today... But other than that, i am very happy with how the track turned out.
