Some Constructive Criticism from a Fan: 1. Turn your headphones down during recording. Trust me you don’t need it that loud to record. The bleed in the takes get processed WITH the vocal which limits the potential. 2. Mix your vocals in context with the beat. You want your vocals to fit with the beat. You’ll make better decisions EQ and Compression wise. 3. Practice hearing frequencies. The sweeping method you did can cause you to take out frequencies that complement the vocal for the key the song is in. Ditch that style altogether because understanding frequencies will help A LOT in production AND engineering. 4. Be careful with cutting so much low-end in your voice. In some cases it works given the beat or style you’re going for, but know that body in vocals usually resides in the 100-200 Hz. Instead of a low-cut just use a low-shelf or bell band to deal with that frequency range. Use a low cut to cut out unnecessary low-end “rumble” that your voice isn’t really present in. 5. Learn about the parameters of a compressor so you can make better decisions for your vocals (they will change depending on the song). 6. It’s best to create send tracks in FL and send your vocal to a reverb or delay track, which will give you WAY more control. BUUUTTT if you want to continue adding that effect on the vocal directly, I would advise to put the delay before the reverb. The processing works from the top down, so if you have the reverb before the delay, it’ll delay the reverb AS WELL AS the vocal which could cause unnecessary frequency build-up. 7. Be careful with Fresh Air, or anything that adds high-end for that matter. Too much could cause your vocals to get very harsh very quick. A little goes a long way my guy. 8. Try to reach your vocal processing goal with less. Even with stock plugins you can achieve an awesome sound WITHOUT utilizing every insert on a track. For example, you used an EQ for the sweep method and another for the low cut when you could’ve used one to do both (still stop doing the sweep method lol). Usually two EQ’s are used for subtractive THEN additive. Try that method instead. All in all Sharpe, keep doing what you’re doing! I’m a long time engineer and producer and just want to see people grow and succeed in this field. Always be a student to the game! Bless you brother!
agreed with all of these critiques as a fellow music/audio engineer and producer. no shade tho at all sharpe, big fan from day 1 for real, from like 8 years ago or so. keep doing your thing fam
nahhh bro this guy went in and didnt hold back theres so many youtubers i watch that make the steps and instructions so confusing for no reason, just to sound smart but makes them sound dumber if you get me. thanks man legit immediately subbed.
yoo! the maximus clear master and ambience phaser definitely enhanced my vocals! I never checked the pre-settings in maximus, I appreciate you for this!
I am extremely new to music production on FL Studio and have looked at different videos regarding the plugins and how they work. Your video by far, Mr. Sharpe simplified everything and helped me learn and understand how the plugins work. Thank you, kindly for your time in making this vocal mix tutorial video, I sincerely appreciate it. I have subscribed to your channel as well. :)
@@SharpeOnebro I need a help from you.. my track sounds like died vocals and not properly sounding like one track, it sounds like just vocals placed onto the music what can I do to mix my vocals properly like the PUNJABI Artist "SIDHU MOOSE WALA" HELP ME ABOUT IT PLEASE ......
In between breathing adds emotion, use the noise gate in the limiter instead. Also add a Desser, when you “Limit” vs “Compressing” you’re inadvertently raising all your sibilants.
Whattup Sharpe??!! This is the first video I seen of your in over 15 years. I watched a lot of your stuff when I was first starting to really work on music a bunch. Great to see you still doing your RUclips thing. Me and my friends been getting back together to work on music again and been trying to get knowledge up to record in home for my channel. Great video Sharpe 😀
Aye @sharp I wanna give you an OG tip for after u finish everything and wanna give it one final mix …. Turn your headphones down to like the lowest volume … turn every tracks volume all the way down and then one by one turn them up with your headphones at the lowest volume and mix it like that (you will notice your knobs end up a lot lower then where they are now) and then turn the headphones back up and watch how clear everything becomes !! I start with the bass until I hear just enough and I mix the rest kind of around that and then when u turn the headphones back up it’s crazy how everything fits in
I like how after the bare basic effects to make your voice sound good, he left room for other genres that may require more (or just different) vocal processing. Wayy better than everyone else who throws a billion other plugins for no reason to look cool.
dude this video is literally perfect for beginners on FL, first vid ive seen using the stock autotune as well, great video if ur switching ur DAW to FL too!!
This is a great tutorial for the before and after. Much appreciated! Biggest thing to make it better would be breaking down a little further what each plugin actually does, but that's not what I was expecting anyhow so still all g
My songs actually sounds so much better now following these steps 🙌🏾 My only issue now is my final song sounds so low, and when I turn it up in fl it just starts peaking real bad 💀
that face cam fade is really cool, never seen that before after watching for 7 minutes, wow you’re so talented! you’re really turning your voice into something amazing. love how you break everything down. I know basically nothing about music theory but you told me exactly what I needed to make a track 🔥
ur already creating fresh air effect by adding high end on the second eq, can be good to add for taste but you can do most of what fresh air does with an eq
True, I just love fresh air because it seems like they’re effect is more polished. And I think fresh air does a little more than boost the high end but I’m not exactly sure how it works
Exactly bro it removes the body from the vocal, it’s hardly preference at that point and just plain poor mixing unless he wants to sound likes in a radio the whole song😂
sidechain a multiband compressor to duck the frequency range your voice is dominent out of the instrumental. You can tone shape with things other than an EQ. You might want to consider utilizing predelay with your reverb so the dry signal is distinguishable from the reverb tail. If done correctly it won't sound like an echo but it will be just enough delay to where you can keep that clarity in tact.
Appreciate the guidance sir im about to release a song with this mixing method. Im excited to see what people will think about it and I think its a big step up, so I appreciate you keep making vids!!
When you’re using a beat you produced like that you can side chain your vocals to your drum bus so it isn’t overpowered. I would do it to your melody too or at least have the drums and melody bussed together after the drum bus to side your vocals to it
in 2 years of watching videos before i even get Fl this is the best explained one fs. Only problem is i cant get slate digital to let me download anything.

You got me started in music prod back in 2017 and I'm still going at it. Super grateful for your videos so I'm glad to see you back!!!
Proud of you! And I’m honored to have inspired you fam 🙏🏽🙏🏽

You know what you are saying bro
Bro I NEEDED this video as had absolutely no clue how to start mixing vocals. Appreciate it 💙
First vocal tutorial that actually helped me a lot, Thank you

Goated advice fr
This the best video for vocals. Even for a guy who makes noisy computer punk it’s indispensable
thank you brother, i needed this!
Yoo the phaser and the maximus...never done this before but am actually gonna ve experimenting with this🔥🔥🔥🔥
Out of all the videos on RUclips this was the one that actually helped me, now i can start singing and not sound so dry.
I like how after the bare basic effects to make your voice sound good, he left room for other genres that may require more (or just different) vocal processing. Wayy better than everyone else who throws a billion other plugins for no reason to look cool.
this video helped me alot getteing back into producing after i took a long break, thanks mate appreciate your content have a blessed week
dude this video is literally perfect for beginners on FL, first vid ive seen using the stock autotune as well, great video if ur switching ur DAW to FL too!!
Thank you! Glad I could share some tips 🙏🏽
glad to see u back on yt!
This is a great tutorial for the before and after. Much appreciated! Biggest thing to make it better would be breaking down a little further what each plugin actually does, but that's not what I was expecting anyhow so still all g
thank u man, been lookin for a tutorial like this forever 👏🏽
This is pretty good thanks for the free plug-in as well. All I did was take the phaser out and added a deesser instead cause there no space for it.
After this, I didn't realize how bad my vocals actually were, jesus.
Much love!
lol… the Nigerian in u is obvious
What’s good brudda
how far g
@@prodbytoj I dey alright
@@prodbytoj from which state?
You can use newtone for autotune touch.
I'm a day one beginner and this is the only RUclips tutorial that helped me. Literally so easy thx
Your welcome friend !
true its first time for me he is amazing
Yessir waited all day and yesterday for u to post sum 💯
BRO MY MIXES ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD RN THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
My songs actually sounds so much better now following these steps 🙌🏾
My only issue now is my final song sounds so low, and when I turn it up in fl it just starts peaking real bad 💀
Hands down the best video on this topic, completely changed my vocals game considering how simple it was.
that face cam fade is really cool, never seen that before
after watching for 7 minutes, wow you’re so talented! you’re really turning your voice into something amazing. love how you break everything down. I know basically nothing about music theory but you told me exactly what I needed to make a track 🔥
Where was this video back when I only had stock plugins 😫
Tried this method today and my god it sounds great THANK YOU
Thank You for this video! My mastering and editing quality has made a huge leap forward just from the Fresh Air and EQ advice.
2:17 BABY 🗣🗣💯💯❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
this video is amazing bro, I just started and was so confused on how to use vocals and put affects on it and this video helped a lot
thank youuuuu veryyyy much brother...this video was indeed helpful. Been looking for a video like this for about two to three years damnnn
I’m so happy you made this video man 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Keep doing your thing man. You got alot to learn and a few basic things to get right but keep going

dawg this is helping me chase a dream, thanks 🔥
So clearly I really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing

True, I just love fresh air because it seems like they’re effect is more polished. And I think fresh air does a little more than boost the high end but I’m not exactly sure how it works
exactly
Fresh air works like a multibands compressor not EQ
NO CAP !!...STRAIGHT TO THE POINT !!!❤❤❤
Thanks, bro, for the Video! I actually came back to complete it :)
That whole song show off at the end was crazyyy
i literally recorded vocals on a phone and it was garbage but with all these fxs its awesome! thanks for tutorial!
I’m glad you found this useful brotha! Keep creating
11:20 caught me off guard!! 🔥🔥🗣🗣
Crystal clear buddy!😍
Cutting your vocals at 265 is crazy bruh lmao, i love ur low end why dou take so much out? sounds thin to me
It’s just a personal preference idk
Exactly bro it removes the body from the vocal, it’s hardly preference at that point and just plain poor mixing unless he wants to sound likes in a radio the whole song😂

legit video!
thanks m8 helped alot, always was using the same plugins but didnt know shi about what im doing, now i know more :'D
Boom💥💥💥landed on the right video…thanks man much love ❤️
Tbh this is the best tutorial I ever watched.
Brilliant - I am working on this vocal of somebody that sounds horribly off tune, which I am trying to make sound good, and natural

I haven’t watched a sharpe video in years… lesson learned i’m glad i came back to refresh my mixing😭
Appreciate the guidance sir im about to release a song with this mixing method. Im excited to see what people will think about it and I think its a big step up, so I appreciate you keep making vids!!
Bro you just changed my whole career...which I didn't have but now I do!
❤❤❤❤Im soooooo blessed and glad i found your page bro 🙏 🙌 ❤️ im subscribed now bro and apart of the family ❤❤lets gooooo
Dude, you stop posting and now you’re back lol how wild!!!
Brah you made that so civilian. Thank you.
When you’re using a beat you produced like that you can side chain your vocals to your drum bus so it isn’t overpowered. I would do it to your melody too or at least have the drums and melody bussed together after the drum bus to side your vocals to it
