What was your ‘I cracked the code’ moment?

Did you have a moment in your production career when a lot of things started to ‘click’ and all make sense? If so, what was it?

For me (keep in mind I’m still early days), it has been clipping and limiting busses before sending them to the master, and also using a reference track through SPAN to see and compare what frequencies I’m lacking or overcrowding.

Have been getting instantly better sounding results since implementing these!

How would I make this hyperpop vocal effect?

Would love to know if anyone could let me know what they think is on this vocal chain/rack! I’m really trying to get that distorted, autotune, airy vocal sound ★

I believe it’s quite heavily compressed and obviously has autotune, but wondering what the best way to order my rack/go about this would be :)

Thank you so much! :)
