Episode show notes:
I hear it all the time. It's one of the most common problems that people run into:
"My vocals never seem to sit right in my mixes."
"The vocals are buried in the mix and when I turn them up, they are too loud."
"I want the vocals to be "in the mix" but still clear and audible all the time."
"I want the vocals to be upfront, but not on top of the mix too much."
"What do I do to make my vocals sit well in the mix?"
The vocal is the most important element in most mixes. So, I don't think I have to explain why it matters to get it to sound right.
It's what connects with your listeners, it's what tells the story, gets the message across and it is the most unique thing about your music that won't sound like anyone or anything else.
So we've made this entire episode, diving deep into all the things you can do to make sure your vocals sit perfectly and feel just right:
- Timing and pitch
- EQ
- Compression
- Sibilance control
- Effects
- Depth and distance between vocal layers
Enjoy!
