Then, mix in a Hollywood style "sonar" sound effect on the 2nd beat of every measure for that subtle finishing touch! :)

    As an artist, you should definitely be taking your time to be learning the proper terms so you can better communicate with your producer what exactly you want. That being said, as a producer you gotta understand not every artist is gonna be anywhere near as good as you are at remembering what every little effect is called because it’s not THEIR craft, it’s yours. I honestly believe there should be an equal amount of effort on both ends to understand eachother and make the project better together, that’s what I think at least. Smite me if I’m wrong

      @josephg6567 yeah I get you, I didn’t realize that they could be separate jobs but my point wasn’t that it’s the sound engineers job to translate, more so my point was that a track can always be better if all the people who work on the song, regardless of responsibilities, work together and try to understand each others jobs to the best of their abilities to make the production go smoothly. But I understand where you’re coming from, at the end of the day this is just a skit lol but a skit based off a real conversation at the end of the day so I wanted to put in my two cents, I just rap and try to work on mixing by myself (which I’m not the best at) so I was trying to give my perspective on this.
