Warren shows how to mix vocals so they sit properly in the mix. He shows the automation he is doing, all of the plug-ins, and some extra tricks to get the vocal to stand out and always be present.
Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.
I began clicking "like" in your videos before watching them, just because every single one I watched so far was a goldmine of information. Imo, you're the best youtuber producer by far.
WOW TheLKStar!!! You are so kind, I really appreciate it!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
TheLKStar Yeah! That's the least we can do.
Aw shucks! Sven Horlemann Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro Same here, Warren. I've just recently started recording at home with a cobbled-together assortment of equipment and your videos have been very, very helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time.
Hi Rhynhardt Krynauw Fantastic! So gad to be able to help! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
lets just take a moment and appreciate the fact that we get this kind of content FOR FREE, thank you Warren
Wow! Thanks ever so much
Very appreciative
Really thankful for that!
And thats why its not the real deal, like the other 99% "free" videos. Its not teaching anything, just sharing his personal cooking formula for this specific case.
@@MrFree-vj8qj sharing his specific cooking for this specific case is the most anyone can do, other than just doing your mix for you. There’s never just gonna be a hard and fast rule. He explains why he does what he is doing and that’s the most anyone can ever teach about an art like this
Wow, so what we perceive as a "naked and vulnerable" vocal actually has more engineering than a race car. Superb.
Yes, sometimes that is true! Thanks ever so much for the great comment!
Yes! Almost no vocal sounds good raw, unless you're in an opera house or symphony hall...in which case all that engineering went into the building itself
that tip mixing distortion, low octave, and whisper is a game-changer. Thanks for that :)
Thanks ever so much Eric!
Wow! Thank you ever so much everyone! This video just hit 200k views, truly wonderful! Thank you ever so much for being such amazing people who help each other. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

This is why I love UA-cam; 6 years later found this evergreen tutorial. Who needs school?
Thanks ever so much
Is it just me, or was that mixed with a little fate 'n destiny?
Hi +Maynard Gold Haha yes indeed!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Maynard Gold that’s how it is. I had one cd done. Bailed on the second. Burnt out. Ran out of money. Seriously, there are times You’ll hear a phrase 50 times. This shit can make You insane.
sounded more like fade and destiny
This is an underrated comment. lol
I rarely comment, but I have to say + Maynard Gold, this literally had me laughing out loud. Like, my cheeks hurt.. Also, thank you for the great video Warren.
how to get vocals to sit properly in the mix:
step 1: have good vocals to begin with
right... haha
Very true Saint James!!
@@inspirepaulreacts3963 yes, indeed!
Au contraire mon ami, I'm living proof of that! I have a crappy voice and singing isn't my forte, but with enough plugins, automation, takes/comping, pitch correction, and general processing, I end up with passable mixes. Granted a naturally talented singer would do better in less time, but nowadays everyone can sound good. Having said that, I agree that a good vocalist's voice & performance makes all the difference between amateur and pro...
OKAY BUT
Not only is every one of these videos the actual motherload of free education on soundwork, but this individual is amazing as simplifying concepts, delivering them in a captivating manner, and he just FEELS like a nice guy. Want to be friend 11/10
Wow!! Thanks ever so much
As an audio production student, I really find your videos to be invaluable. Straightforward and to the point. Thanks, Warren!
Wow thanks ever so much Bryan!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Good to hear a clear English accent. Some of the Americans have a harsh twang that I struggle to hear for more than a few seconds. Thanks for the post.
Haha thanks ever so much! I like the US accent as well! My kids have it! Haha
I played the video saying like "Oh, +20 mins video, let's make an effort and watch it." I blinked and it was over xD
It was incredibly dynamic and interesting! Thank you for your generosity sharing your knowledge with us!
When She Met Him Music wow! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
@@Producelikeapro
So true! Informational goldmine
Its great to see someone teaching mixing with an emphasis on listening and retaining/enhancing emotion. So often the focus is on the technical side & the passion gets lost (some people forget this is art first, science second). You've got some great tips that will hopefully encourage new engineers to experiment and develop their own sound. Thanks for your time & energy. Subscribed!
Hi +Beats By Nature That's such a wonderful comment! I truly appreciate it!! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! I'm so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren

You are Amazing 😘 I Just Love Your Style and I'm following Your All Technics very seriously ❤love U
Thanks ever so much!!
Thanks a lot. You are one of my favorites master.
Ok, the whisper, the distortion and the lower octave vocal trick is simply marvelous!!!
extremely good tutorial videoes Warren.Tip tops:)
HI Jorgen, thank you ever so much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Good shit, great teaching style. Everything here I've either learned the hard way or am TOTALLY about to start trying.
Thanks ever so much Will!
This is what's called real passion and sharing... with clarity and enthusiasm ! So unusual nowadays. And gold tips. Thanks a lot, really !
Warren, you are such a great guy....always willing to share, the planet needs more people like you! Warm regards from Brazil!
Wow this video is answering my question on thicker lead vocal track. Thankyou very much Warren. No wonder Mike from in the mix channel was saying you are the best on youtube about mixing and producing. i'm learning a lot from your channel! Liked
Hi Hoan, I'm so so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
you're very welcome Sir!
truly amazing work! I used to do the whisper track and called it a "ghost" track
this reconfirms I wasn't crazy for sending vocalists back to the booth for this.
Thanks Warren keep up the great tutorials.
cheers!
steve
Hi +Steve Wills Aw shucks! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Yes I love the whisper track! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Truly, eye-opening video! Masterfully presented with a backwall of amazing experience that can only be accrued via comprehensive immersion in this craft.
A very informative and open incite into vocal production.
I don´t know if you did this but, it is really appreciate it that your videos have spanish subtitles, I speak english but a lot of my classmates don't and people that loves audio in my country too, so, it's really handy that your videos have that option, thanks Warren for share your knowledge
Hi +Sebastian Soto Yes I added the Spanish in because I have a lot of great friends from Mexico, Columbia, Peru and many others! A guy that works for me from Bolivia who has been adding the subtitles for us! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Very significant info, especially since I do my own vocals and want a more professional sound. I rarely use the volumn leveler as an option. I eager to try.
Hi +Beverly Anita Gospel Music Ministry So glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
This is so helpful 🙏 thank you for the amazing content 👍
This is pure GOLD! Great work!!!!
Its been an absolute honor and pleasure to observe you and your works. Cant even express how amazing your in words, sheer excellence and elegant it is. Pure class. This guy is a godsent prophet. I extremely rarely write down comments in youtube. but this time, it would be a crime not to post a feedback.
With kind regards,
sincerely yours,
Farabi.
Dhaka, Bangladesh.
P.S. if the people could understand or comprehend the infinite sincerity and passioion of him, i dont know what would happen, as the mass people are just dumbheads. but sometimes i think that it is good in a way that, you have to achieve a minimal level of integrity and musical intelligence to understand the divinity of music and production. The unworthy ones do not deserve the divinity. Period.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment! I really appreciate it
There are a lot of effusive comments in this section from Warren stans who clearly hope to get a response from him, but this gushing paean takes the cake for sheer ridiculous excessiveness. "Godsent prophet"..."divinity"..."unworthy"...Jesus Christ, it's hard to top this comment for laying the hero worship on _way_ too thick.😆
couldnt have come across this at a better time im right in the middle of mixing our new single #MyLifeMyRide and working our 4 vocal tracks. Like you i did all my volume automation first then compression and pro eq (studio one 3 pro) im blessed to have amazing singers with solid performances making the mix easier. Your videos have been a HUGE help. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is much appreciated rock on Maestro Huart
Thanks ever so much Kineticartist! That is an extremely kind and generous comment my friend! I am so happy to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Only discovered your channel recently and I have to say I am learning many very practical things. You treat us like we know what we are doing but, like everyone, still have more to learn and areas we can improve. It’s early days incorporating your suggestions and I’m already hearing improvements in my work. THANKS!
Great sharing, it's always been good to hear what others do, especially when it works well.
the whisper is new to me - genius!!!
Thanks ever so much
I often silence the breaths but I get your point of charisma here completly and Its cool to see that you do that volumeautomation also.
Hi Dante, definitely! I agree! It's all about what's best for the song! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I leave the breaths. Vox are alive an breathing into the song life. Gotta leave some breathing.
Thank you, Warren! Really enjoyed watching this video and of course learned some new tricks! I like the way you look to the sound I mean you really love music and talented people. With your works you are helping them to be better musicians. It's one more amazing thing that every sound engineer can learn it from you..
Great advice. Will defenitely use this in my music.
Warren, from a complete newbie perspective, this was massively helpful. I have been playing guitar for 40 years and decided to finally build out my home studio. As I type this post I am staring at my Tascam 246 4-tracks (yes I have 2, and fully operational). Much to learn ... looking forward to following your channel here. Best Garbo
Hi John, I'm so glad to be able to help! Thanks for your kind words! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I agree !! Amazing information for the newbie !!
Thanks very much Darlene! Glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
You reconfirmed my initial instinct to automate analog track first. But the Distortion, Ghost, Octave whisper was brilliant. I was always wonder how to make thin vocals fuller and your solution was outstanding. Thank you!
Wow!! Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment!! I really appreciate it
Such a treasure trove of insights! Thank you so much Warren :)
Hey I want to thank you for the videos.
I got back into recording and mixing music this year and your videos are helping me a lot.
I learned SO much from this one video. It's amazing how you can engineer for years, listen and see the perspective of another and it hits you like "Why didn't I ever think of that?" Amazing video sir. #Bravo
Thanks ever so much Chris! That's extremely kind of you! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

Hi +Christopher Hill Thanks very much! That's very cool of you!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Incredible video/tutorial. Thank you, big time. Very generous for sharing these techniques.
Rob R thanks very much!!
thanks Warren! very insightful video, learned a lot here
Love the “pre-active” mixing
Glad you like it!
Produce Like A Pro superb job! Love watching your channel! I learned so much and hair so much better! I learned to embrace the imperfections that make the music performances special
What you said about choosing takes with charisma or character when compiling is so important. Great tip!
Your vocal thickening tricks really blew my mind! I have been chasing how to get that breathy sound element in a vocal for years. When you showed how you did it with morphoder i just started laughing (with joy)....brilliant!
Hi +FreddysFrets Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
so do you just use the distortion, morphoder and octave on the SAME vocal but on different tracks?? Wouldn't it be better to use those elements on different lead vocals?
@@rsmith9094 The distortion, morphoder and low-pitched vocals are meant to prop the lead vocal to the forefront and give it dimensionality. Whisper vocals add character to the top end. Distorted vocals for the mid range to cut through the mix and low end to give it thickness. All of this is not used as a creative effect, but more as a mixing tool to shape the "feel" of the track.
Brilliant! Love your multiple instances of compression trick!
Thanks Gabriel, I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
I watched this video today even though it was posted aeons ago and the tips remain ever relevant..thanks Warren for all your great videos.
Hi Warren, I only found your videos a couple of weeks ago, but am loving them so far! I think you're probably my new favourite audio production channel!
What are your views on normalising vocals compared with all the tedious automation?
Best wishes,
Ethan
Hi +Ethan Kumar Thanks very much! Glad you enjoy them! I'm a big fan of running automation and getting it right! At the moment I find there aren't any truly quick solutions on the market, so I will continue to automate the vocal! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
How have I only found your channel now? The content is rich and your personality is authentic and relatable!
This is fantastic. Layering that many subtleties into a vocal track adds such a character to it.
I love great tutorials and find there influence creeping in to my own work but always find it hard to apply these techniques to my strange tastes in music.
If there's one question I have for you, it's how do you find your own techniques? Carve your own path?
How does one do something new without feeling like they are committing a heinous mixing crime? Haha!
Thanks for your fantastic channel, IL be sure to watch all your videos.
Thanks,
A new subscriber.
Thank you ever so much Tom! That's so unbelievable kind of you my friend! Marvellous question! Finding your own path is really about putting time into it, getting past the generic settings and starting to feel what you want to add to the Production or Mix! Time is the best thing for you to develop this!
Am so proud to have met you online in the Plap Academy you always give your all when sharing your so useful information .Your the man
Clint McLain Thanks ever so much my friend!! You Rock!!
Awesome advice! thank you!✌🏻

Hi +pamela Charles Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
thank you
Hi +pamela Charles of course! Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Warren, that Tutorial was an absolute RIPPER ! I've been struggling for so long to get my Vocals to "Sit" properly in the Mix.........and now I think I have the answer.........hopefully :) So, it's off to practice these techniques. One suggestion if I may...........it would be great to hear a quick "Before and After" comparison on this Vocal.........if you have time. Zero processing vs the Final version. Thanks again for all your knowledge.

Hi Dave Dwyer that's a REALLY good idea! I will have to do that in future! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Well as always, I had a marvellous time! Thanks Warren.
very helpful, definitely helping me refine my own techniques. thank you!
Good video!
Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
this is gold
Thanks very much! You Rock! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
thanks god for letting me meet this amazing teacher, I've never seen a wonderful lecture like this about engineering in last 2 years..... thank you, thank you so much. I'll watch and like every videos in your channel! -from a student from korea
U r a genius 👏👏👏
I've been following you for some time and still a lot stuff I haven't watched yet... And I learn new things from each video of yours... Thank you so much. It's really great to hv a teacher of your brilliance without hv to pay for it. All I can say is thank you for your generosity. 🙏
"CHARISMA" in a vocal take, like that analogy
Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro I'm really happy that you responded,
I'm learning so so so so much from your channel, I can't thank you enough,
it's also that respect for a true professional who is so kind to share the inner, simple, but powerful stuff, that for a few years ago, only the really close ones to the masters would be able to know,
so thank you again.
Honestly, just doing the volume automation made a huge difference to some mixing I did on a track with spoken work over music. The vocal was getting a bit muddy on some syllables, and just increasing the volume made all the difference.
Fantastic! Thanks ever so much
This is brilliant. Thanks for all this knowledge. The vocal that he is working with is already great. I would love to see a video about best practices for vocal recording.
In case I'm stuck with something, I always write Warren's name after the question in search field, helped me each single time so far. Thank you so much! :D
