How To Mix Vocals using Only STOCK Plugins | FL Studio Tutorial

hey this is max from for studio tips and today i will show you how to mix vocals using only stock plugins [Music] so the very first thing in high quality vocal mix is high quality recording and there are tons of aspects of high quality recording but the very major one is if the volume of the vocal is equal through whole track back in the back when and then i'm passionate everybody's shocked about it so here's about zero and here with a mindset i'm not extracted by time i'm a young rider i'm going until my heart bleed told my mom it's around four so we need to go about four db down which will be about here and also as you can see nuking is also going lower in volume in this moment told my mama i'm never going to leave i haven't said it need you pray for me when the world fall apart it's about nine so we need to go a little bit up like this told my mama i'm never going to live i haven't said it need you pray for me when the world fall apart imma take the i'm not restricted by time i'ma it doesn't have to be perfect of course but it's quite crucial now just consolidate it with ctrl alt c way better already now we can normalize it and the second step would be to look for some unnecessary briefs and mouth clicks and stuff that we don't really want in our vocal back in the back when and then i'm passionate everybody's shocked by the buoyancy for example this briefing hair you need to decide whether you want it or not i personally don't find anything like that in this vocal and the third step would be to pitch correct the vocal we could do it by going into the built-in pitch correction application inside of alpha studio and it's extremely easy to use it in one knob here you can adjust the notes to be centered out to the note then you can change the variation so it's even more perfect and then even change the transition which will definitely sound too robotic back in the background and then i'm passionate everybody's shocked by the boy in his neck but this vocal is already treated with distal as we did it in our heart shop from start to finish course make sure to check it out if you haven't yet and it's getting even better you can choose the scale here and snap it after that extremely useful tool but it very depends on your own vocals so we'll not get into it now so everybody has their own way of mixing the vocals an hour is following i always like to add equalizer to get rid of the very very lows which are about 100 hertz and take down from the low mids back in the background and then i'm passionate everybody's shocked by the boy in his vernacular saying that i'm acting and my flow is so immaculate i'm passing him in dash that will make the vocal sounding less like somebody was singing it on the podcast or something it depends also on your mic so make sure to find balance but i usually find myself doing this eq slope like this as you can see on the waveform of the vocal we have a lot of random peaks here here on the left right and that is how our voices sound when we talk our waveform of our talk definitely doesn't look like a sausage but to make our vocal sound professional and to make every word to make all lyrics clearly audible and understandable we need to use compression so i usually open fruity limiter and go to the compressor mode and turn the ratio to about 5 sometimes even i go to 20. and that depends on what result you want to achieve if you want to achieve more dynamic vocal or more squashed vocal more modern sounding one back in the back when and then i'm passionate everybody's shocked by the boy in his vernacular saying that i'm acting and my flow is so immaculate i'm passing them and dashing did i show it with my axes why they want to see me six feet ain't nobody here in my league as you can see the compressor is not working right here and the awards are actually pretty audible but for example in those moments the volume peaks too much and that will totally overwhelm the listener and mess up the whole mix that's why it also depends on the recording sometimes i use 20 to 1 ratio sometimes i use 5 to 1. you need to find perfect spot and aim the peaks to make the vocal even see i go tell her e fly eli they behind should be blind i throw mine well he lined got some friends who's not allowed to cross state line i remember when my home is hard hitters as you can see sometimes it's working somewhere it's not because the rapper did a lot of accents and that's why in this case i'll use high ratio compression and you can hear already how better it sounds with compression we make the vocal balanced controlled audible and clear next thing to add more modern taste to the vocal i really like to add otg okay they don't want to see me shining i'm working through it for minds and i'm not constricted by time i'm a young rider i'm going until my heart bleed told my mama i'm never going to leave i've been saying these you pray for me when the world fall apart so as it is multiband upwards and downwards compressor we glue it even more and in the mix of 20 it adds a really nice color to it which i personally really like but it's optional of course definitely try if you like it although after that we have a lot of harsh asses passionate everybody shocked by the boy in his vernacular which we always fight with the asser and you definitely don't need any third-party de-esser greatest of them all is always the custom one you make and the custom one you can make is of course in the maximus so we can go to the high band and adjust a little bit the frequency and set it to about 6k depending on the vocal every vocalist have a different harsh frequency range and now just compress the very high band passionate everybody's shocked by the passionate everybody's shocked by the boy and his vernacular passionate everybody's shocked by the boy and his vernacular passionate everybody's shocked by the boy in his vernacular you can see how much of the harsh asses we take of course don't do it too much because you can lose sometimes the brightness and make sure you set up properly the threshold here so it does not take the normal words only the very harsh ones as you can see here after adding the ott and compressing the vocals we have a lot of them and we could even deal with it by searching for a harsh frequency peak passionate everybody's shocked by the passion everybody's shocked which is around here and we can take it down a little bit passionate everybody's shocked by the boy in his vernacular sound like this of course check different frequency ranges see which works the best and of course you can always try at the essence preset built in in maximus so right now it's starting to sound pretty nice ain't no going back no hold them back i roll them black don't want to match i play the facts i will attack i hit him with style on every dragon now the vocal lacks some wet effects something like reverb for example right and the worst thing that you could do to your vocal is just put the reverb on it ain't no going back no hold them back i roll them black don't want to match i play the facts i will attack i hit them that completely ruins everything it blurs the vocal and nothing is really clear and always what you need to do is sidechain the reverb to the dry vocal itself and we could do it with applying the fruity peak controller before the reverb and on the reverb link to controller and choose the peak of the verse main that we just made and set the mapping formula to invert it ain't no going back no hold them back i roll them black don't want to match i play the facts i will attack i hit them on the style on every dragon they don't attack me just relax imma leave a legacy before i die you don't want to take a risk and set his pride aside they ain't taking his life ain't no going back no hold him back i roll them black don't wanna match i play the facts i will attack i hit so the reverb will hide every time the vocalist is singing right and that's how you have to do it every time unless you know apple studio tips who brought you free patcher preset pack in which you'll find drag and drop battery presets including the sidechain reverb presets so we can now get rid of the fruity peak control and reverb and listen what happens ain't no going back no hold him back i roll him black don't want to match i play the facts i will attack i hit him with style on every track and they don't tech me just relax i'm going and going set it off and the motion to mix it down and then focus we don't really have to do anything here we can adjust the threshold a little bit the dk i play the facts i will attack i hit him with style on every dragon make sure to download this free pack and let's hear how it sounds in the mix for now be right he likes being doubted knowing he grunt he the one he was chosen though he be fine okay they don't want to see mixing this singing vocal various doubles and lifts as well as building today's whole instrumental you learn in our full heart drop course but there's one more crucial step to achieving professionally sounding vocals if you hear the chorus it's not that bad but the vocal is not playing with the instrumental at all they're not talking to each other it's exactly as we would put one instrumental track and one vocal track and just leave it and that's what we'll fix now as you can see here here we have the focal signal layer which is actually turned off it doesn't play any sound it's actually this vocal but rendered without the wet effects so let's turn it off and again consolidate our vocal but enable the insert effects so that's how our compressed vocals looks like and now we'll need to attach it to a new mixer track unrooted from our master channel and sing it to the side strain channel which contains all instruments in our track but not the drums of course so now in our sidechain channel we'll apply a new limiter and as you guessed it already we'll sidechain from the vocal that we just consolidated and now make the instrumental height just a little bit [Music] about 2 db is definitely enough [Music] see what happens the vocal is taking down the instrumental whenever it plays exactly as we had in sight and wet effects but this time with the instrumental and that makes a lot of space for the vocal in the whole [Music] i'm passing mix and dash
