Flow Recording Types: Ways To Record

Fluid One Takes

Your flow will be more fluid if you do it all in one take because the pacing will automatically flow it out better instead of it coming out forced.

These don’t have to be one take all the way through but making sure you are flowing for at least 4-8 bars without having to dub in anything is going to give the result you want here.

Punch-Ins For Recording Properly (Cut-Ins)

When low syllable count lines and lots of pauses in the flow are recorded over tracks they create one cohesive flow much easier. This is explained and shown in the video above.

Random note, Young Jeezy’s flow is completely based around dub-ins/cut-ins.

How To Do Punch-Ins Properly

TIP: Make sure the cut-ins flow. You can do this by starting to record the words a few bars earlier in the recording and then continuing through to the next lines you want to replace/cut in on the song.

You don’t want to just punch-in without being used to the flow before it. It took me a while to learn this strategy, but it helps a lot.

Again, start a couple words or bars back and record all the way through. This also allows you to be able to use and keep the new recorded lines before where you planned on cutting in.

Sometimes these re-recordings just fit better with the dub-in. 🙂
