I have researched into lots of different production techniques and I've been influenced by artists such as "Noah '40' shabib" and travis scott and kanye west. '40' has influenced me because he is completely unique in his production skills and he sees music as more of a science than an art. His sound became so notorious because he worked with artists like drake and helped drake establish his sound. '40' created underwater sound by perfecting how to use EQ and blending different frequencies together. his sound influenced me because i want to be able to create very atmospheric and sometimes mellow vibes in my music which can be achieved through EQ. '40' also uses his sound to create contrast within a song. An example of his sound is in the drake song "Days In The East"
Kanye West has heavily influenced me with his production techniques and more specifically the way he uses the human voice. Kanye uses the Human voice as an instrument. For example in the song 'Jesus Walks' from his College Dropout album, there is a choir however they are blended into the music filling the baseline the percussion and the melody. This is then layered over more samples and Kanye managed to turn a john legend sample into a flute like sound which becomes apparent to the listener towards the end of the video. I try to also incorporate some of these vocal complexities within my own music for example percussive adlibs.
Travis Scott and his production techniques have influenced me because when I listen to his music I feel like its the perfect example of listening to a song and being transported to another world. His sound is quite eerie yet exciting and energetic and i try to incorporate some of thee elements into my music as well. But what Travis Scott does that really separates him from everyone else is the way he records his vocals.
