How to prep your Afrobeats song for a mix
Six steps that get you a better mix, faster, with fewer revisions. Engineers on EngineEars ask for the same things.
- 01
Keep the percussion on separate tracks
Shakers, congas, talking drum, log drums and claps should each be their own stem. The groove is the record, and the engineer needs to place every part.
- 02
Send the log drum or bass on its own
For Amapiano especially, the log drum and the sub carry the song. Give them their own tracks so they can be balanced without fighting.
- 03
Export the vocals dry
Lead, doubles, harmonies, call-and-response parts and ad-libs as separate WAV files, with no reverb or delay printed.
- 04
Line everything up
Every file starts at the same point, same sample rate, 24-bit, no clipping. Include the BPM.
- 05
Send a reference from the same lane
Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, Afro-swing and Amapiano each have their own balance. Pick a song in your lane and say what you like about it.
- 06
Note the language and the hook
Tell the engineer the languages in the song and which lines must cut through, so nothing important gets buried.
