Jul 05, 2021 | 3,000 Views

In Episode 2 of this Waves Premium Masterclass, Grammy®-winning producer/engineer Lu Diaz (DJ Khaled, Pitbull, Jay Z) shows you how he takes hip hop vocals from good to great, improving everything from the main hook to adlibs and effects.

Watch Lu work with up-and-coming hip hop artist Rey King, re-recording and mixing the vocals to give them that final feel, with easy tweaks that seem subtle but make all the difference between a good demo and a great final track.
