    In this video, we talk about six (or more) biggest mistakes people make when mixing vocals. We'll go into how to keep the volume of your vocals even throughout your song with tools and tricks in FL Studio that can help you fix this automatically (or manually).
    We'll also go into EQ Tonal Balance (equalization) and how to use it to make sure your vocals blend well with the rest of the music, without losing their natural sound or becoming too thin or too bassy.
    We'll share some tips on how to apply compression and reverb the right way so the effects work properly and make your vocals sound awesome.
    Also, we'll talk about sidechain compression and how to apply it to make sure your vocals sit nicely in the mix with the rest of your music, don't clash but instead work together to sound like one complete song.

    Hey Max, just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing tutorials you've provided. You've really helped me improve as a producer 🛐 ! I was wondering if you could do a video on the optimal order of plugin usage during mixing. Your insights would be invaluable 😄! Keep up the fantastic work 💖

    Sidechain reverb definitely makes a huge difference.
    For tip 6 I believe in a previous video you mentioned a patcher preset that does this really well? (Youlean Multiband Sidechain) Or am I missing a subtle nuance in the difference between these techniques?
    Thanks for everything you do, your channel has really helped me a ton, especially in vocal production.

      For the patcher vocal rider preset, do you just apply it after recording? Then consolidate and then normalize?

    Some great ideas! I liked the hip hop vs EDM EQ tips, even though I'm more on the rock side (hey; I like a few Nu Metal bands). I love the explanation of why sometimes you want to back away from the mic as well. Not many people explain how the boominess can interfere with the mix
    I agree with over compression. Sometimes what I thought was autotune was over compression. "What the hell? I haven't pitch corrected, so why do I sound autotuned?" It took me a while to figure out it was compression. I also love your explanation of the settings.

    • @JoeStuffzAlt
      @JoeStuffzAlt Před 6 dny

      The idea of sidechaining using a different compressor is something I would have never thought of. Nice

    @TRVladdy Před měsícem +37

    Not gonna lie, I used to use sidechain reverb, but I dislike the way it sounds so these days, I don't bother with it. Instead, I just take some extra time to dial in the settings properly

    • @YoungbokGomez
      @YoungbokGomez Před měsícem +8

      Maybe your sidechaining reverb too harshly. It's mainly to have things pop out more and give space for whatever the reverb is supporting.

    • @nevillebossilo7088
      @nevillebossilo7088 Před měsícem

      You have to adjust it according to your mix that where you have a reverb that not swallow your vocal.

  • @oxar050
    @oxar050 Před měsícem +2

    the phase rotation from EQ (or that causes EQ, rather) is only really an issue at slopes of 18db/octave or higher, using something like a 6db or 12db high pass should not result in any audible phasing issues

  • @zyesmusic
    @zyesmusic Před měsícem

    Thanks for the video and those hints and cues, it's very helpful ! However, I saw on many videos and tutorials that cutting all the lows in vocals can unbalance your final mix, many sound engineers recommand putting a low shelf rather than a HPF. Is anyone doing this ?

  • @user-zv1so8nm8n
    @user-zv1so8nm8n Před 22 dny

    actually i saw the same curve on a Teezio session on Joyner vocals (the one that supposed to be wrong), sometimes if that's what sounds right go for it.... it's a creative choice especially if your room is treated well or if you are used to the sound of your headphones if that's what you use for mixing, and don't forget to get a second opinion from people who actually know what they're talking about, maybe some people won't like your sound but that doesn't mean you change it to please them because not everybody comes from the same musical background but you can find a comfortable place in between.

    pro's don't sit the vocals in the mix, you have to always think ahead if you sit the vocal in the mix during mastering the vocal will be under the mix you should always sit the vocal slightly on top of the mix

    when i sidechain the reverb, nothing shows up in the "comp" section of the limiter. so i can't alter the ratio and such.

    @SpaceboyBilliards Před měsícem

    I boost at 100hz before low cutting below 120 just to give a touch more fullness to make up for what you have to cut out. Voices are so rich without the instrumental and it's a good compromise to retain some of it

    • @SpaceboyBilliards
