How has Pro Tools affected the production of rap music?
Pro Tools has changed the production game 150 percent. You can put a track together much faster than before. I do everything at home and do only the mix in a big studio. It used to take three days to mix a record, and now it can take as little as four hours. It has also changed the way you interact with the artist. Now an artist will come into the studio and do their hook first, and then they will say, “okay, fly it.” They are so used to just flying the hook [copying it into the other parts of the song] that they come in expecting to have to record it only one time. People also bring in a 2-track mix, and they know that the producer or engineer can cut it up to arrange the record anyway that they want. When something is messed up or if the vocalist sings off-key, the common response has become “You can fix it in Pro Tools,” In the school that I am from, you could never do that.
