It\u2019s easy to feel frustrated when we just can\u2019t seem to get it right, especially because vocals are so important for the listener. Fortunately, there are some standard as well as creative techniques you can use when learning how to mix vocals effectively. We\u2019ve compiled a \u201cmaster list\u201d to help you achieve better sounding results!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/mixing-basics-vocal-compression\/\">basic compression<\/a> and EQ, but how often do you consider saturation when mixing a vocal track?<\/p>\n<p>When we use the term \u201csaturation,\u201d we\u2019re referring to plugins that emulate what analogue equipment used to do to a recording. Saturation adds rich harmonics\/overtones and a bit of distortion to make a vocal \u201cfatter\u201d and more exciting for listeners. It can help push a performance to the front for an \u201cin-your-face\u201d sound.<\/p>\n<p>Experiment with saturation to give a vocal more edge, helping it stand out in a dense mix. Lo-Fi, included with Pro Tools, is just one example of these types of plugins that can enhance an otherwise dry\/dull vocal.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/vocal-compression-beginners\/\">Compression<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those who are new to mixing, compression can be a rather mysterious signal processor. On paper, it\u2019s easy enough to understand that a compressor smooths out a performance by bringing peaks down and valleys up. However, it\u2019s sometimes difficult to determine its effects for ears that are unaccustomed to it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43346 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2.jpg\" alt=\"How to Mix Vocals Like a Pro_2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-302x170.jpg 302w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-266x150.jpg 266w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_2-385x217.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself struggling with vocal compression, the following is an excellent starting point to orientate yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Set a <strong>ratio<\/strong> of 4:1; set the <strong>attack<\/strong> time to medium or fast; adjust for a medium <strong>release<\/strong> time; and adjust the <strong>threshold<\/strong> for about 4-6 dB of gain reduction.<\/p>\n<p>These rules aren\u2019t hard and fast, so use your judgement and compress to taste! What works for one track may not work for another, and so on, but <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/vocal-compression-beginners\/\">these guidelines<\/a> are a wonderful place to start.<\/p>\n<p>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-limiter-plugins\/\">Best Limiter Plugins in 2022<\/a><br \/>\nREAD ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/sonnox-oxford-limiter-review\/\">Sonnox Oxford Limiter Review<\/a><br \/>\nREAD ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-free-guitar-vst\/\">Best FREE Guitar VST Instruments in 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Parallel Compression<\/h5>\n<p>Another common technique used for more aggressive or exciting vocals is parallel compression. It works by duplicating the desired vocal track and slamming it with a compressor to the point where it\u2019s unpleasant on its own. Then, you gradually mix in the duplicated, slammed channel with the main vocal channel to taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMagic\u201d Frequencies for Mixing Vocals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Akin to the compression starting points outlined above, knowing specific frequencies and how they effect vocals means you can make quick, precise adjustments with less guesswork. Check out these five areas of interest for vocal EQ:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>120 Hz: Fullness<\/li>\n<li>240 Hz: Boominess<\/li>\n<li>5 kHz: Presence<\/li>\n<li>4 to 7 kHz: Sibilance<\/li>\n<li>10 to 15 kHz: Air<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Experiment with each of these frequencies or bands and see how they effect your particular vocal mix. If a performance feels muddy, try cutting a bit around 240-250 Hz. If sibilance is particularly harsh, sweep between 4 and 7 kHz to find the most offensive frequencies and tame them. As always,\u00a0<em>listen<\/em> and use what best suits your personal taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reverb and Delay Techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we use a time-based effect like reverb, we\u2019re trying to create a \u201cspace\u201d for a mix element to live. Oftentimes we add it with the intention of bringing our vocals to the front, when in reality we find we\u2019ve only pushed them further away.<\/p>\n<p>The quick fix? <strong>Pre-delay<\/strong>. Many reverb plugins have this parameter, and it functions by separating the dry signal from the wet signal via a user-set delay. The result is hearing the space and dimension that we wanted from our reverb without pushing the dry vocal into the recesses of the mix.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43347 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3.jpg\" alt=\"How to Mix Vocals Like a Pro_3\" width=\"700\" height=\"512\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-600x439.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-80x59.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-320x234.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-308x225.jpg 308w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-232x170.jpg 232w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-205x150.jpg 205w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-40x29.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-160x117.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-640x468.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-577x422.jpg 577w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-465x340.jpg 465w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-14x10.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-410x300.jpg 410w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-12x9.jpg 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_3-385x282.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also get very creative with delay in a variety of ways. One of the more common techniques is to <strong>automate the delay<\/strong> on certain words or phrases. If a particular line bears repeating, have the delay bypassed until you reach the desired lyric and automate it on.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to remember is to <strong><em>EQ your reverb and delay returns<\/em><\/strong>. Most of the time, we don\u2019t want our reverbs and delays sharing the exact same frequency space as our dry vocals. If you bandpass your effects return\u2013say between 600 Hz and 4 kHz\u2013your wet\/dry signals won\u2019t be competing for room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>De-Ess!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sibilance\u2013that hissing noise produced with \u201cs\u201d sounds\u2013is a naturally occurring phenomenon within the human voice. While we don\u2019t consider it unpleasant in conversation\u2013if we notice it at all\u2013on a recorded vocal, sibilance can often be overwhelmingly harsh.<\/p>\n<p>Using a de-esser to control sibilant frequencies, generally somewhere between 4 and 7 kHz, is crucial. A great de-essing plugin will retain presence\/clarity without totally flattening out an exciting performance.<\/p>\n<p>An awesome trick for mixing vocals is to boost the top end with an EQ and control it with a de-esser. You\u2019ll get the brightness and clarity from boosting with the EQ, minus the exaggerated \u201cs\u201d and \u201ct\u201d sounds thanks to the de-esser.<\/p>\n<p>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-amp-sims-2021\/\">Best Amp Sims\u00a0<\/a><br \/>\nRead Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/diatonic-vs-chromatic\/\">Diatonic vs Chromatic<\/a><br \/>\nRead Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/ableton-vs-fl-studio\/\">Ableton vs FL Studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vocal Editing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an extremely important step for mixing vocals that generally takes place in between tracking and mixing. Editing your vocals ensures you have the best possible stems to mix with later. You\u2019ll want to first comp your vocal takes for the best overall performance, and then do finer editing like removing the heads and tails of clips, clip gaining loud breaths and plosives, and doing other clean-up work. If you take the time to carefully edit your vocals, you\u2019ll thank yourself when you\u2019re actually mixing them!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vocal Tuning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43348 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4.png\" alt=\"How to Mix Vocals Like a Pro_4\" width=\"585\" height=\"376\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4.png 585w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-80x51.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-320x206.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-264x170.png 264w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-233x150.png 233w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-40x26.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-160x103.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-20x13.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-529x340.png 529w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-16x10.png 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-467x300.png 467w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-14x9.png 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/How-to-Mix-Vocals-Like-a-Pro_4-385x247.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vocal tuning can really be as simple or as complex as you\u2019d like it to be.
