Alright, now we're going to talk about the adlib tracks. When you record, you should probably record at least two to three adlib tracks underneath your verses. What you want to do is, you have your verse mix. What you want to do is then begin to pan. If you have two adlib tracks you can begin to pan one to the left, one to the right. If you three it's best to listen to all three of them and find out the best two. Mute one and just use two of them and you want to pan that to the left and to the right. What that does, it gives your vocals a real real good full sound on your verses when you say certain words. So you may, the adlib tracks usually you should just be hyping up certain words or saying, repeating certain words. It gives it a real good full sound and then you, when you pan it to the left and right it really emphasizes the words that you're saying. So, what you want to do is mix your adlib tracks after you're done mixing your verse. After you add your compression in it. Take your adlibs tracks. I always say start off low. Start them off low and begin to just turn it up. Continue to just turn them adlib tracks up little by little until you get the sound that you want. Once you get the adlibs right where you want them to be then everything is good. Then you begin to turn the beat back on. Like I said before, when you're mixing your vocals you want to have the beat muted. You don't want to have no music playing. You mix your vocals. You mix your adlib track with your vocals. Get into a nice crisp sound that you like and then you turn your beat back on then you kind of mix them all together. Kind of just take those three little tracks that you mixed together and turn them all up at the same time and you'll have a real good mix with your adlibs, your vocals, and the rest of the beat.
