Using Multiple Compressors When Mixing Vocals

Показать описание

In this tutorial I show how to use multiple compressors when mixing vocals. This is also known as the double-stack or stacking method. I use the CLA-76 and CLA-2A compressors made by Waves Audio. I'm using FL Studio, but you can do this in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, and any other DAW. This will help you get professional sounding vocals by keeping them up front in the mix. If you're a musician, producer, or audio engineer then check out my other mixing, mastering, and beat tutorials on my channel.

Nice work… but you didn’t really let a full passage of the dry uncompressed vocal to come through so we could hear a solid before and after, in order to really assess the difference.
👍👍

I always thought the frequency knob at the bottom of the CLA-2A was a Hi-Pass filter kinda thing where its shaving off the lows. Like everything BELOW the number is NOT being compressed. So its actually what's ABOVE the number is NOT being compressed? Ive only been compressing under 50hz of my vocals? 😅😅

Great tutorial on stacked compression. I'm using those same (almost) 2 Waves compressors, the CLA 76 Blacky into a CLA 2A sitting in the Waves Studio Rack. Each is gain reducing about 2.5 dB on mine.

IMO another great compressor is their PuigChild 670, which I have also. Those 3 have a very unique sound to them, even more when all 3 are stacked. Yes crazy Delta said 3, each doing 2-3 dB reduction.
