Another trick I use often is sidechaining the delay and reverb to the main vocal. It especially comes in handy when the track calls for more aggressive reverb/delay but you still want the lead vocal to cut through the mix.

@@alexis7243 side chaining the reverb and delay to the lead vocal means when the vocals are coming a compressor can make the delays and reverbs decrease in volume so the lead cuts through the mix and whenever the singer stops talking the reverbs and delays well come up so they don’t match the lead in the mix, you can still hear them when the lead is playing but more controlled. If you ever feel your reverb and delays are making the lead voice sound missed up and they match it in volume, then side chaining is what you need to duck them down when the lead plays :) It’s not all about side chaining but mostly for reverbs and delays it’s this, you can watch “in the mix’s sidechaining tutorial” to understand more.

That's an amazing trick with eqing the reverb to take out the lows and highs...cool!!

The raw recording sounded amazing already, but man your tutorial really helped me get that modern vocal sound even in my heavy rock song! I just put a LA2A in front of the distressor to make it go a little harder and get some color! It even sounded great with another vocal I did with an SM57 too and I could never ever make an SM57 vocal sound good before!

Bro this was beautiful! The tutorial was so on point. The song is dope too! I really appreciate you fam!

This song is so hard bro.. my goodness.. he got a new fan

Thanks for making this pretty easy to follow! Been doing my rounds with mixing videos and this is by far one of the better ones I've seen.

This is so helpful man just the video i needed need to get that reverb. So professional

This is the CHEAT CODE! This is literally the GO-TO vocal chain. Sounds like a record label engineer mixed that shit! Thank you WAVY WAYNE for this tutorial, so I don't have to go to college and go into debt to learn this shit!

Honestly i find it amazing he made the vocal cut through without boosting the high end rather taming the lows.

@@PigmenMan I use to think that too but aperantly that is not the case. The rule of thumb is to always cut frequencys before you boost. Every decent audio engineer I've met, worked with and learned under would say that. I'm honestly not sure how it's different but I generally cut frequencys first and get good results.

​@@SantaAnaCreations People say you're hating... It's not hate when you have higher standards to what makes a good song. A lot of people just ended up adapting to this kind of vibe. Growing up on 80's and 90's hip hop, people tend to have higher standards with production, writing and presence, over just a smooth flow and basic lyrics. I disagree that you feel the song is not good at all, because I feel it does have a good vibe, but I definitely see where you're coming from that it just sounds too similar to everyone else.

Interesting that you start with an EQ for basic sculpting, then you follow it with a multi band compressor. I think a better choice would be one dynamic EQ with both static and dynamic EQ moves. Also can function as/replace your de esser. It’s good to do this first in the chain, taming the sibilance before boosting any highs. It’s counterintuitive to boost highs and then de ess afterwards, you’re just making the sibilance worse, and the de esser has to work harder than it needs to which can sometimes yield artifacts.
