  • In This vocal tutorial I show How to process vocals in Ableton using some Waves plugins, Fabfilter pro q2, Valhalla room, Valhalla vintage verb, and Autotune by UAD. In This Ableton puppet tutorial we complete a vocals template by adding parallel compression, delay, reverb, flangers, and other FX to an audio effect rack that can be easily saved into a vocal chain. Mixing vocals is half balancing and half effects. This tutorial also covers panning, balancing, and grouping lead vocal tracks with background vocal tracks. Waves Audio makes some of the best plugins for processing vocals and these same plugin chains will work if you use Logic Pro x, fl studio 12, pro tools 12, studio one, reason, or any other DAW. Mixing professional vocals is crucial for the success of your music.

    I like the comment you made that people like vocals and people like fx and it takes a lot of finessing to get them to sit together correctly when talking about using the flanger after the delay to further shape the sound of the delay to keep it clear.

    Good but a bit unfair for the regular people, cuz they don't know how the original vocal was recorded, c it sounds pretty good from the beginning, so we need to take the best vocal we can and then refine with a process like this one. Is interesting how the voice sounds equalized. Thanks for the content.
