The Wind Before The Storm
We at Sykeside Records make sure that Breeze pre-recording is done extremely well.
We make sure that the equipment is all set to the correct setting so there won’t be any issues.
We double-check the mic to make sure it is facing the correct way and depending on the mike the filter is eq’d correctly for his voice.
We double-check the Pre-Amp drive mode and gain knobs to make sure when Breeze raised his voice it doesn’t go to a peak volume.
We check the interface Gain knob to make sure when Breeze records a loud vocal, the ring around the gain knob doesn’t turn red or peak.
We turn the Monitor knob to make sure that what Breeze says can be heard in the headphone while he’s recording.
In the Daw, we make sure to level the channel the recording comes into to a level that it doesn’t peak.
We try to make sure that we put ruff draft effects so we can get a good idea of how the vocals will sound sitting on the beat.
Breeze Ready Or Not
We let Breeze record and adjust the levels of certain sound that we can tell will clash with the vocals.
We make sure that the drums aren’t too overbearing with the vocals.
We let Breeze take a couple of practice takes here and there to get comfortable with recording and reading lyrics.
While recording we add vocal effects that match such as autotune, delay, reverb, and distortion.
In preparation for today, Breeze finds his recording a little easier to get into.
Breeze mostly worries about the sound of his voice and how it translates into the mic.
The hardest thing to get comfortable with Breeze feels for any artist is to hear his own music come through the speakers.
Breeze gets comfortable with it after so much practice but does the fans like how he sounds?
Are there enough bars for the first verse and throughout the verses?
Should breeze extend the beat or try a different voice?
Exploration
One of the most fun things to have is Ad Libs or not have ad-libs.
That really all depends on the song and how having or not having can complete any type of Breeze track.
When recording, you also learn about if your lyrics come outside a bar and if it can fit.
Surprising, in this part of the process Breeze learns a lot more about the song than any other step.
Within the exploration step, Breeze learns if he wants to add a different rift to the 808 or hit hats.
Here Breeze learns if he should change his vocal octave to lower or higher.
Adding Backup Vocal
Breeze depending on the song type would add different types of backup vocals.
Breeze may have 3 or even 4 types of vocals for the chorus or the verse.
Breeze would sometimes just add more of the same vocal at the same pitch and pan them left and right to make the vocal stronger. Sometimes this is also done to make the vocal sound wider.
Breeze makes the adjustment to the vocals to add harmonies to any vocal so it can touch all frequencies.
Breeze also add different effects to the backup vocals to make it sound different than other verse to keep the listener entertained.
Put In
Why recording the thought process of the song for Breeze may change completely.
Breeze learns a lot depending on how the vocal comes out like what to add to complement most of the songs.
Breeze depending on how the vocals are setup, Breeze may add a double kick to the beat to give power to a punch line or vocal inflection.
One thing that may add a huge bonus to a song is how Breeze tampers with the hit hats.
Breeze through practice learned that having switch-ups in the hats can make a whole line sound hotter just by adding more hats. Breeze sometimes takes the hi-hats and places them into a different note in the scale to give the vocal a different feel.

Take Away’s
At first, though when reading this would be why would anyone take away from a song. Breeze thinks this is one of the best techniques he has.
Adding things to the songs has many benefits for Breeze as the artist himself because he can understand his creative mind. Taking away from the song is for the benefit of Breeze fans or first-time listeners.
Too much of anything can certainly hurt you in many ways and this goes the same as in music. The most important part is taking away from the song so the vocals can breathe.
