This is part two of us answering a great question from our community member Jesse Crawford (Loma Roses)

Jesse sent us the following question on building arrangements:

“I was wondering if you would have input about arrangement concepts. Specifically about how to produce your songs to where the instruments/tones can be clearly defined from one another. I’m interested in hearing how other people approach this idea. To me, one of the main challenges is making tones that play well together.”

 
Now you might be asking: "Why is that even important? Can't you just shape the tones in the mix?"

The answer is: You want to write and arrange your songs so that they already work, even raw, before mixing. That way the mix will be easier, more fun and faster. You don’t want to fight your song in the mix.

So, in this second part of it (it's a two-part episode) we address: 

 ·      Lead Parts

·      Vocals

·      Pads & Synth Layers

·      Closing Thoughts And Arrangement Recap


Let's go!
