Dude for real, this is actually the best tutorial for mixing I've found so far. You really deserve more subs man, most of the other videos I've found had producers who gave a shitty, rough explanation of EQ 2 and never really gave good reasoning for how or why they cut certain frequencies in their EQ. They'd also just brush over the limiter because they most likely never use the default one. I was so confused with sweeping and cutting out certain frequencies and knowing how to look for them(especially in home studios) until I found your video. Thanks man, really good tutorial.
the problem with sweeping and cutting is that people tend to increase certain frequencies to much so of course its going to sound bad if you boost 1 range by 10 db. you're not getting rid of any unwanted frequencies at that point, you're just removing the vocal presence which is why most of the time beginner mixing engineers have their mixes sound muddy.
You don’t know how much I needed to see this video, I’ve been struggling to record myself for years since my producer passed on and travelling to the studio takes away the feel of a moment and song sometimes, so thank you brother keep up the good work I bet you can do even greater work with purchased plugins 🙌🏾💪🏽
This video is actually mind blowing. The fact that in each level he was going the vocals kept getting better and better is something we don't see with other producers.
Thank you so much, brother! I'm getting towards the silky vocals. For a long time, I was struggling with harshness and lack of control over crazy effects but I stripped back and followed your tutorial and it was extremely helpful ❤️️
Within the first 2 minutes, you blew my mind. I've wanted to add effects to the tracks in the playlist for years but didn't realize they added that and/or didn't see that it was there.
4 minutes in, I didn't know what the setting for a slight fade out was and didn't know what it was called to google it. I was doing that painfully slow with automation.
Well the is the best fl studio tutorial in whole UA-cam because , you don’t just show what you do , but you talk about why you take this step in informative approach, thank you very much for tutorial
Gotta say, this is one of the best mixing videos on here, it's not over complicated so that people get lost, but captures and explains the essential parts really well both in the way you explain why you're doing what you're doing and the way you show what you're doing and what you're looking for. Top job!
Big big difference! Vocals sound so clear! But remember y’all! This is tutorial is only done for this type of voice. Everyone’s voice is different. Some of the adjustments he did for his vocals I had to do different. Just a bit slight of difference. But it gives u the idea. Thank U bro!!
bro... this video 2 years later on the newest version of FL is still a MASSIVE Help! Preciate you taking the time to make this video. helped me out a ton and I will continue to use this as a learning tool and reference while I continue to learn to mix as a starting producer!
Easily one of the Best FL Rap Vocal Mixing Tutorials I ever seen here on UA-cam! Straight to the point, clearly, shown, and easily understandable. 💯💯💯💯💯
dude i’ve been watching videos on how to mix my vocals for a few weeks now and you literally just taught me everything i’ve been trying to learn in 23 mins. that’s a sub from me dawg
Honestly Jay, one day, when I'll have my name on a hit, ill def thank you for all the professional and straight to the point quality help youve been giving us!
I never comment or watch long videos in mixing cuz people waste too much time talking or other nonsense, but this video is straight up one of the best, if not the best I've seen in mixing. Had me hooked the whole time, thank you !!!💯
I've watched a ton of videos on this for years and this is the 1st one that made me feel like my mix was how I wanted it to sound. Thanks. Very informative, in depth and straight to the point with no confusion. New sub here
Nice video Jay. I’m going to reflect back on this video in my spare time to see if I’ve forgot things along the way, or see if I can learn something new.
I sounded extremly bad before and even within the process but I trusted the process and the result was that well it still sounded bad but at least it doesn't give you ear cancer anymore when you're listening to it. So: It improves the vocals really well! Great tutorial!!!
Dude, you got my like and subscription man. Honestly, the best video I've seen on mixin. I've seen so many producers and they never get to the nitty-gritty and technical aspect of mixing and you did!
Jay cactus is one of the best. I was following along while workin' on some vocals for a track i'm working on and it sounds immaculate. Really appreciate this man's effort.
wow thanks bro great video. seen many videos on mixing on youtube but nothing compares to yours you explain it very cleary and simple for people to understand. Great Job bro
Don't cut out all the breaths on the main vocal, I would suggest you use the volume fade function so you don't lose the natural Feeling and if some bread are too hard the just swap them out with smoother ones. 😁
This is one of the best tutorials so far, no doubt, hands down! I was looking forward for more vocal mixing tutorials in your channel, but I think this is your ONLY one talking about vocal mixing. Can you make more? More advanced tips, advanced pulg ins... Adlibs, chorus? I would be GREATFUL to watch all this type to content, this is bearly one video and it already helped A LOT! 🙌🏼
Thanks fam! Your explaination of the whole process is clearly the best i‘ve seen! 🙏🏾 Really helped me a lot ! PS: i think Maximus has a de-Esser preset, which also gets the job done
Jay Cactus TV After watching your “how to make uk drill beats” i made one named “uk drill hiphop beat 4” and would love to get some feedback from you. if u had the time , would mean a lot to me . Thanks for keepin people like us inspired with ur vids bro .

Facts
@@JayCactusTV can you do a how you master video with stocks plugin?? and what audio settings you use for your FL is it your interface? or asio4all?
U are right brother
are we not going to talk about how vibey the song he’s mixing is
I studied music production in college but they never taught how to mix rap vocals, mainly rock music. This was super helpful!
no math teacher gives ya ways how so solve problems anytime, but lends a hook n u catch the fish on yo own👀
You’ll never learn 100% of everything in college. Plus no two professors are the same, yours may be a Rock fan.

Although this is 2 years old by now, it's still a gold mine of info
the dude on these vocals is smooth af
Yeah he’s hard!
@@JayCactusTV If I might take a wild guess... is that Joyner Lucas I'm hearing?
@@LIMIT-73 nah fam
@@LIMIT-73 he does sound very similar but the accent is completely different
Don’t know why him being erect has to do with anything
This video is actually mind blowing.
The fact that in each level he was going the vocals kept getting better and better is something we don't see with other producers.

That’s good to hear bro glad to help!
Jay Cactus TV 😊
These automatic fades when cutting clips just about changed my life, thank you very much.
Within the first 2 minutes, you blew my mind. I've wanted to add effects to the tracks in the playlist for years but didn't realize they added that and/or didn't see that it was there.
