This week's question:

Broducer question

How to mix your vocals?

(question by Siddartha Biswas)

That’s a good question, Broducer!

Here is my recipe (add the plugins in this order)

  1. Remove everything below 80-100Hz with an equalizer (the noice Fruity Parametric EQ 2, for example).
  2. Add a “light”compressor with around 2:1 of ratio, compressing all the time the voice is singing. As for all compression, don’t go over 5-6dB of gain reduction!
  3. Add a de-esser to tame down the harsh high frequencies.
  4. Add a stronger compressor with a ratio around 4:1, compressing mainly in the loudest parts of the vocal.
  5. Add some delay (1/4, 1/8 or 2/8 is a noice setting).
  6. Add some ducked reverb (sidechained reverb) - watch my video tutorial for more info!
  7. *click* noice.

 

Furthermore, you can add some chorus to thicken and widen the vocal, and add a compressor with a small amount of wet and high ratio (4:1 or above), and a very high gain reduction (at least 10dB). Adding an harmonic exciter and slight saturation can also help give some edge to the vocal!
