📌 *What You'll Learn In This Video*
-------------------------------------------------------
In this video, we talk about six (or more) biggest mistakes people make when mixing vocals. We'll go into how to keep the volume of your vocals even throughout your song with tools and tricks in FL Studio that can help you fix this automatically (or manually).

We'll also go into EQ Tonal Balance (equalization) and how to use it to make sure your vocals blend well with the rest of the music, without losing their natural sound or becoming too thin or too bassy.

We'll share some tips on how to apply compression and reverb the right way so the effects work properly and make your vocals sound awesome.

Also, we'll talk about sidechain compression and how to apply it to make sure your vocals sit nicely in the mix with the rest of your music, don't clash but instead work together to sound like one complete song.

Hey Max, just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing tutorials you've provided. You've really helped me improve as a producer 🛐 ! I was wondering if you could do a video on the optimal order of plugin usage during mixing. Your insights would be invaluable 😄! Keep up the fantastic work 💖

This is a pretty well thought out explanation of everything. I’ve watched so many tutorials trying to learn how to mix, and this explained a few concepts in ways that made more sense to me. Thank you!

[SephRusso]

Sidechain reverb definitely makes a huge difference.

For tip 6 I believe in a previous video you mentioned a patcher preset that does this really well? (Youlean Multiband Sidechain) Or am I missing a subtle nuance in the difference between these techniques?

Thanks for everything you do, your channel has really helped me a ton, especially in vocal production.

Kolejny super film! Kiedy tłumaczysz, sprawy zaczynają być w końcu proste. Bardzo chciałbym kiedyś zobaczyć Twój film na temat selekcji brzmień i sampli, i o właściwych poziomach głośności. Twoje poradniki są najlepsze! Czekam na następne!🔥💯

[DIFRNTLNO]

thank you brother, just what i was lookin for

[thepreseason]

Ive been curious about the sidechain reverb thing for a while now— even though I do it and understand it in theory, i wonder if its something engineers did in big studios in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Like pre-computer producing I wonder if they actually sidechained reverbs? because it was hardware back then. And to me the reverb in a lot of older music sounds so much better, “realistic” if you will.

Good video, I just wish you’d used a better vocal sample, cause this one is absolutely GRATING. Gave me a headache.

[YuukoSM]

I don't understand English well, but these videos explain better than videos in my native language.

[neweratraxx]

pro's don't sit the vocals in the mix, you have to always think ahead if you sit the vocal in the mix during mastering the vocal will be under the mix you should always sit the vocal slightly on top of the mix

[cycotec]

Ngl i seeen of vocal techniques never have i ever seeeen someone sidechain the vocals yhe melody bus 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[JoeStuffzAlt]

Some great ideas! I liked the hip hop vs EDM EQ tips, even though I'm more on the rock side (hey; I like a few Nu Metal bands). I love the explanation of why sometimes you want to back away from the mic as well. Not many people explain how the boominess can interfere with the mix

I agree with over compression. Sometimes what I thought was autotune was over compression. "What the hell? I haven't pitch corrected, so why do I sound autotuned?" It took me a while to figure out it was compression. I also love your explanation of the settings.

sometimes too many vsts, or going vst pro can be a defect or reduction, that mix sounds decent, but something of that song just didn’t really hit, not bad though, your tutorial is succinct, soundtoys and waves make great products
