Get a nice balance of your 808/Bass & Snare at around -16db . Then slot your vocals into that blend while monitoring in mono . . Build your mix from there and thank me later #EngineEars

In 2022, transferring money has never been easier, due to cashapp, Zelle, etc. But music creatives have to wait 30 to 90 days after a project is completed to get paid by major labels !?! How can you sustain a family, a business, or you’re sanity????
