    Joe uses a lot of plugins to mix multiple vocals, which plugin is your go-to for mixing vocals? Comment below!

      These seem to always sneak into my vocal chain: TDR SLICK EQ GE (yes the GE version), Black Box HG-2, MV-2 (a gem !!) and sometimes also some of these; Acustica Audio CREAM2, TDR NOVA GE (for surgery), Slate AIR, AMEK 200, Phils Cascade, CLA-2A, KIIVE warmy, YUM spread (haas mode), NI supercharger. Well ... the first three !!

      My go-to is the Sonitus multiband compressor. I use it to tame the performance, pull the warmth of the low end up a bit (I always record with a high pass filter so there's never any low-end rumble to deal with) and control the sibilance. That's usually my starting point.

    @NeilHudson-qf8mo Рік тому +2

    Great tutorial. Nicely explained. I tend to process each session differently obviously depending if it's super brutal metal or just a solo female voice etc..? I add a little comp and eq on each vocal channel first just to give it a squish and tone shaping before it hits the busses, not a lot, literally -3 max! Then eq those naughty frequencies very gently so I'm not cutting too much in the busses again? Then if I need to manually lift a few quiet notes it's much less than drawing crazy automation patterns all the way through! ;) I also track vocals through a mic pre/comp again just to keep the dynamics a little less wild so it's easier to control later. I don't use many plugins in my chain to get the job done? Waves L2, Fabfilter eq, Soundspot Nebula for some chorus if needed, Sonitus delay and Sanford reverb. Pretty much it most of the time. Just track it well and get the vocalist to give you what you need. Bingo!

    This was amazing content! Thank you! My philosophy for mixing is that the console and tools are a musical instrument that ties everything together. If you learn the technical side of it and sit back and watch it run, you’re at about a high school band level. If you understand and become part of what the writer, the producer, the band, and the vocalists are trying to do, then you become part of the music. You are as vital to the music as any musician.

    Thanks so much Mr. Carrel. This was just an amazing lesson. I always have hard time getting those voices blending together - 3 up to 8 - and you showed me the way. How would you deal mixing a trio or quartet when sometimes singing the same notes and suddenly they split? Great Masterclass!

    • @InTheMixJoeCarrell
      @InTheMixJoeCarrell Рік тому

      Hey, thank you for watching Francisco! That’s actually a great question. Inherently, when a trio or a quartet go to unison for a line or two it seems like the level jumps in volume to the listener. So I keep my equal blend, but I turn down the volume on my vocal group master by 1-2DB or whatever is needed. That way my level seems to stay in the right place for the listener, but it is also hitting my compression going into that group master the same. Hope that makes sense.

    • @cheskog
      @cheskog Рік тому +1

      Yes, thanks for the answer. It makes sense. As you said it all comes down to get those levels perfectly on place thru rhe entire song, with the use of automation to glue everything together, capturing the listener from start to end. Thanks again.

    Love it! Videos from Joe have been some of my favorites ever!
    For more standard songs with a lead vocal and background vocals, he mentioned changing the release time to differentiate the lead from the BGVs. Would you slow down the release time on the BGVs to push them back behind the lead a little more? Because if I'm understanding that right, that's genius.

    • @InTheMixJoeCarrell
      @InTheMixJoeCarrell Рік тому +2

      Thanks for watching Drew! Yes I would typically adjust the attack and release so they are smoother and less punchy than the lead. Sometimes that’s just as simple as putting something slower like a 2a or 3a on instead of an 1176. Best wishes 🎉
