What are your go to plugins for mixing vocals? Please share below!

@Pasta221 Год назад

I tend to throw on/sing through a channel-strip plugin like scheps omni channel or PSP Infinistrip and then bus some delay(stock DAW plugin), room reverb (usally Meldas free MReconvolution) and sometimes a plate or longer reverb ( Valhalla Supermassive or Dragonfly Plate, both are free btw!). But I still am in the "learn recording" phase and have not really gotten fully into the "mixing stage" yet! so its mostly just to hear myself sing and also give the vocals some space and mood to them to ease the recording, and usally tweak the effects later in the mixing stage and/or replace them fully!

@DazzleRebel Год назад

I usually start with either C6 multiband or saturation into EQ, normally Cubase's built in Frequency plug-in. Then either LA-76 into a LA-2A or RVox into LA-76 if it needs to be punchier. I might add a little more saturation (really enjoying Waves BB Tubes for this) here if needed or just go straight to a deesser before finishing off with a touch more EQ and a limiter if needed (though with editing the vocals before adding the vocal chain a limiter is rarely needed). I'll feed this off to one or more effects busses for delays, reverb, more saturation etc) before a Lead Vocal bus which will usually have light limiting, maybe some final eqing into Waves NLS on either Nevo or Mike setting depending on if I want it light and airy or warm and fuzzy, hardly any gain added, if any. Just for very subtle natural flavouring to make my vocal sound chain more like its going through a real console.

Absolutely! Thanks so much for watching. For producer's it is vital to be open-minded.

@DooYaaVibe Год назад

I wonder how its done live concerning latency. I am new to music engineering. So is it special Hardware used for live performances?

@johanjof5613 Год назад

It seems to me that the first tip in this genre, talking about compression, should be parallel compression on the vocals. This is a widely used goto trick to make the main vocal stick out while maintaining some dynamics. I prefer this more than high compression and volume automation as shown here, I find the former shows more dynamics from the artist than the latter. And if you do want to make certain words stick out slightly for artistic reasons, you can still do that on the parallel track or even record a DT for these words

@slavesforging5361 Год назад

you do realize that light parallel compression was exactly what he did. the only thing that was different was he automated the parallel and the original.

@OperationChicago 20 дней назад

I think you need a tape machine brother :)

@henryijeoma Год назад

what delay time do you typically use for your slap delays? Less than 100ms?

@johanjof5613 Год назад

From my experience it does not really matter but yes below 100, I typically land around 30 or 40, but any slapback preset should do. What matters is the blending between your track and the slapback track, and most importantly the eq moves on the slapback track to avoid the added muddiness.

@henryijeoma Год назад

@@johanjof5613 thank you man

@Producelikeapro Год назад

Yes, below 100ms adds real thickness to vocals, rap etc

@volusz Год назад

You know what? I'm really confused... I really appreciate all these mixing engineers... but if you listen to a few people where they work in this music industry... I don't know where I have to go... some mix engineers told me "music is like a puzzle, all the pieces have to fit together so we have to cut something out to fit something else." the next engineer told me that "sounds have to work together, sounds are not jigsaw puzzles where something is cut out to make room for something..." Who's right? I think no one ... if something sounds good, no matter which way you go, you can achieve a great song ... I think the best technique is to just listen to other records, and if you like it, try to achieve that sound ... Thank you for your attention!

@samuelellringmann3424 Год назад

One is production advice, one is mixing advice ;-)

@volusz Год назад

@@samuelellringmann3424 You think that way, but the first is an engineer and the second is an engineer

@NoQualmsTheArtist Год назад

Both are correct, you are focusing on semantics. Mixing is like a puzzle there are many pieces that need to fit together. But picture the edges of the pieces as overlapping and not a hard edges where one stops and one starts. Some beginners think you need to filter all the pieces to fit in individual spaces, when engineers say music isn't a puzzle that's why it's called mixing they are addressing this problem. You have to remember art is difficult to describe, 10,000 people are all going to describe it different to each other. You can't expect them all to use the exact same words to explain what they do that's just impossible. It isn't that deep, don't read too much into each individual persons words.

@Producelikeapro Год назад

I believe they are just people talking about how their brain works. Of course picking anything together is like fitting a jigsaw puzzle, however sonically sounds should overlap! It can be a puzzle, however it doesn't mean that the sounds are all isolated, I've never anyone who builds a song like that. So they are just using the phrase to support their idea, not to be taken as meaning something extreme.

@Producelikeapro Год назад

Indeed NoQualms! It's just a phrase that works in context of what they are saying!
