My second track called “One Take”  is based of the production techniques Mike Dean used on Travis Scott’s album Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. I have referenced the song “Pick Up the Phone Ft.Quavo”. Although the two songs are different musically and sonically, I wished to capture that same level of energy in my mix and make sure the listeners attention was firmly on the MC. From an earlier blog post I identified that a key production technique used by Mike Dean is minimalism in an interview with pensado’s place he said “if you can’t turn it up loud then don’t use it”. I have incorporated this ideology into my mix of One Take, this song has no hook and is all about the artist showing off his ability as an MC. This is why I have done minimal automation on the instrumental and used minimal production techniques so I don’t take attention away from the MC.
