Because Steve is working on many music projects at once, he gave the opportunity to edit 3 songs (Main vocal tracks) for some up and coming vocal talent. Essentially singers singing to popular backing tracks. Each vocal track had 10 tracks each which I had to decide which word sounded the best out of those 10. Once I picked the most powerful words/phrases, I lined them up to the grid and clip gained them making the vocals all the same volume. I then opened Melodyne and tuned the vocalists, making them sound much better than before! haha!
