South African Rapper and Producer, Finesse Truth, Shares The Importance Of Using High Quality Equipment



While most Youtubers like telling smaller artists to work with what they have and that it's never about the equipment but about how one uses it that counts, South African Rapper and record Producer does not agree with these sentiments. 

Here's his take on this;

That shit is a lie, people that say such always have expensive equipment. You would find that they have an interface that costs 20k, a microphone that's about 15k or 50k. The bottom line is equipment always counts, don't stick with the cheap equipment in hopes of saving money. You have to go all out.

Film production is no different from this, take a video with a cheap camera and another with a high quality camera. The final result of the two videos would not be the same even if you applied the same effects, the video taken with a quality camera will be superior.

Finesse continues to add that some creatives took the "use what you have" notion and just used it as an excuse to settle for mediocrity while the saying was intended to inspire people to make the best out of what they have not to live comfortably off of it.

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz)// The Mosh Turnout

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz) ¹. Gives definition to the high end of the vocals ². Makes the vocals more crisp and clear ³. Makes the vocals sound like a more defined part of the mix ⁴. Brightens up the vocals for a more "professional sound"  One of the keywords are "Brightens", which refers to a tonality when the signal is rich in high frequencies. To make the vocal "poke" out of the mix this is one of the best ways as it creates a type of lift to the vocal that when done to proper taste, can be the difference between your vocal sounding bland and your vocal sounding crisp. This also makes the vocal more audible and clear as adding high end frequencies somewhat balances out someone with a deep voice when you are trying not to cut too much out of the frequencies of their voice. When using additive equalization before compression you can really push a high shelf as the compression contains the high end. Advertisement   Promote your...

Song Review: Company by Flassouw

By The Mosh Turnout

  One of Flassouw's great storytelling songs from her most recent EP, "Nothing To Something," is titled "Company." The album follows the female rapper's 'Teenage Life Patterns' effort by almost a year. This song features some of Flassouw's best lyrical work; her flow is flawless, and the phrases are delivered precisely and passionately. I was astounded by how she brought out Mvx053 to sing backing vocals over the hook. The structure of this song is truly amazing; it has a little bit of everything. This provided the song the well-balanced "Melodic Hook" + "Rap Verse" + "Melodic Hook" formula, which has consistently shown to be a "hit song" formula if the plot and vocal delivery are planned up appropriately. You can hear a lover pleading for her boyfriend on the chorus, saying she wants his company. The first verse tells the tale of a young woman who is under pressure from others because they have great expec...
