Vocals can be tricky, but they don't have to be.
Achieve album-ready vocal sounds by practicing the age-old 80/20 rule in your mixes.
I'm a firm believer in implementing the 80/20 rule when it comes to mixing great sounding vocals. Even more so when it comes to clean vocals in a busy metal mix.
What I mean by this is that 80% of your great vocal mix will come from only 20% of your mix moves.
This 20% will be made up of:
1) Solid COMPRESSION techniques.
2) Simple EQ carving.
3) Creative use of AMBIENT FX.
It's easy to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of swapping out plugins, overusing the wrong types of automation, parallel processing, etc. In other words, the 80% that only contributes to 20% of your results...if you’re lucky!
By spending your energy and focus on the 20% that matters most, you’ll achieve the vocal sound you’re after much faster and with ease.

I´m mixing multi layered vocals at the minute, with female + male clean vocals + screamo, and your videos are lifesavers.
Your videos are very no non sens, the pace is fast and concise and well structured. A+
So happy to hear you're digging the vids. Thanks for hanging!
I have been binge watching these tutorials. Music is so fun to make, man.
Glad to hear that and thanks for watching!
Damn that's a catchy ass tune
Dude I'm obsessed with your channel. I'm learning so much I wanna hug you. Thank you so much
Mixing for the first time on my own, and this helped immensely . Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for sharing that!
The explanation, transparency and simplicity of approach between your videos and those of jordan valeriote have made it so much easier to get good results and understand the process’s involved

Talks about the 80% that we aren’t supposed to utilize for 80% of the video
Thanks Bobby
Been loving the content lately man. Def an inspiration for our channel. Thank you for grinding!
Thanks dudes!
It would be great if you could do one of these videos in reaper! I don't use pro tools, so I had a bit of trouble following along. However, your reaper mixing videos have helped me tremendously in ways I can't begin to say thank you for!
Really awesome one! Thank you so much Bobby! You super duper Rock my friend 😀👍
Thank you Alexey!

Great info! Thanks!
Anytime Albert!
Man this was really useful. :) thanks
Thanks for hanging Brandon!
what a good video
That Phoenix was definitely in the 20% at low volume. It brought a shit ton of clarity, as in, off, I couldn't understand the words, and on, they were clear as a bell... (in my monitors anyway)
Love the content...quick compliment, and then a question.. 1. I really appreciate the way that, when u A-B something for comparisson, u do it very quickly. Some guys will talk for 10-15 seconds in between, and even a short time span is enough for your ears to forget the 1st in order to compare to the second. So, nice work on that plz keep doing it...lol.
2. I notice that when you go to your mix window, your faders are very low. Mine seem to always be very high, and makes it difficult sometimes to make that channel pop. Like if i need to hear that piece louder just for rec'g purposes or something, sometimes i cant even get it loud enough before mynfader is maxed. Does that mean u record hotter than me, and have to turn the faders down.? Or do u have a gain plugin for everything somewhere and it requires u to turn them down.? Dumb question maybe...just something i dont know. Thanks for all the good videos...i watch yours more than anyone's. Keep it up..
Hello John! Glad to hear you're digging the tutorials. I don't record my tracks particularly hot at all. I keep my faders low so I can have extra headroom at my master bus. I then make up the gain using a limiter (not for gain reduction) to bring my overall level back up. I'll link to a video where I describe how I do it. Thanks for watching! : ua-cam.com/video/4NTCcARXyx8/v-deo.html
great video! question...Do you have any tuts with the Me With Creeps work? can't stop listening to those tracks
I do! ua-cam.com/video/GSS-bmexasE/v-deo.html
Great video! I wonder... what would the attack and release time be on both compressors? Fast, slow, somewhere in between?
Both compressors are dialed in with a faster attack and slower release. In all honesty I don't worry about these settings too much for clean vocals. Each compressor's character is different in this regard, so I pay more attention to overall gain reduction. The big takeaway here is the stacking of the two compressors to produce a controlled, yet natural sound. Thanks so much for watching!
@@FrightboxRecording thanks for responding
What was with the other maroon red track. Was that the master or another submix
In your example of the dry vocals there sounds like is already reverb, how far away is he from the mic?
Hey Bobby!
Is it best to route clean vocals through the mixbux with the rest of the instruments or around them?
It comes down to personal preference. I prefer to route them through a submix so I can apply subtle overall EQ if need be. Thanks for watching, Jeffrey!
can you share the multitracks please 🙏
So what genre of rock does this song classify as? I'm trying to find more music like this, and I'm not sure what to look for.
I think this is pop-punk
@@hellmunddegenhard okay I'll look that up. Thank you!
@@thetsamcgaming one year late but it's post hardcore
what is this song ???
I’ve search a bunch of poeta but cannot find this song… what’s the name of it? Is it not released yet?

I think my comment got automatically took down probably because youtube doesn't allow links to other music apps but my question was pretty much if you have a video for working with vocals that needs more work. So not the best singer in the world like in the video
Great video man, but to my ears your vocals sound super thin because you cut too much. I can understand its clashing with the guitars low end, but still...You can use a dynamic eq-s sidechain to solve this. Or use the plugin called TrackSpacer, which deals with that. Please look it up, its freaking awesome. Again, this is just my opinion, everybody has their own taste.

To me 80/20 means 80% is good enough
