SERIAL COMPRESSION ON VOCALS 🎤

Показать описание

Get a consistent vocal sound when mixing ⬇️

When you're mixing vocals, spiky transients can be a pain in the backside

This is how to get it smooth so it sits in the mix perfectly 👌🏻

For this you'll need 2 compressors ✌🏻

The first compressor is going to grab the spikes

This will ensure it keeps it at a consistent level

Then go to your second compressor (I'm using the Teletronix LA-2)

This will add flavour to the vocal and get it nice and gluey & tight 👍🏻

Yes. My vocal mixes improved so much when I learned this trick. I also go through the lead vocals with a pre-fader automation and pull down any huge peaks before they even hit the compressor.

Best combo is just to level the vocals first (manually or using a plugin like Vocal Rider). Then use a 1176 to catch the extra peaks that were left behind. Final polish is the LA-2A. The less the compressors have to work, the better. :)

SSLComp into 2A is the smoothest/cleanest compression I've gotten yet, wow.

Im for the first time seriously working with a singer on our first song. Three of your shorts in a row (mid range, drum verb, vocal chain) are having a great impact on our outcome! I am really grateful for your tips! Thanks alot!

Finally time for me to dive & dig into the whole sidechain thing. Such a fascinating way to make your mixes sound smoother.

About to try it, now. Thanks, Streaky!

Before and after are at really different levels. Wouldn't it be a fairer comparison to level match and not have the thumbs down?

Love it.. ❤ can't get enough from you. The best of your videos.... Very motivated. Big thanks 👍

You should also check the levels before you even compress. Either by editing the vocal tracks by hand or by using something like vocal rider

This is a great tip. I like to put a expander before the LA-2A, depending on the style. And people, don't get fooled by vocal rider. It's just a compressor like any other, but the developers put a fader on the GUI instead of a needle. The automation feature is cool and useful, but it's sometimes too surgical and non-musical. Get your source material right, first of all.

I usually automate the volume differences in my vocals first. Then I put the SSL comp doing 3db. And finally the CLA-76 doing around 20db 😂 Going freaking hard to get that in your face vocals we all love.
