Something important is when you're doing frequency sweeps on your EQ boost it only around +10db, you're boosting it to over 20 so any frequency is gonna sound obnoxious, at that point you might remove something you don't want to remove.
Yes u want to use minimal boosts and cuts, u will be surprised sometimes the right -2db cut in the right frequency will significantly improve your sound.
That's a byproduct of training your ears as well. A lot of times people boost so hard because a 2 or 3 db difference is waaay to subtle for them to pick up on.
@@t.r.e4482 I found my self doing this. I would cut it too much and then not be satisfied. And then through experience, and everyone I knew saying "use ur ears" and not giving me any useful advice, I finally just sat down and really listened. I still have some ways to go to properly identify the frequency, but overall using my ears is most important.
Tip for recording genres like trap and pop: make. sure. you. deboxy. If your vocals aren't sitting right in a mix its most likely due to that boxy frequency taking up too much space. I personally like to use MannyM Tripple D, amazing plugin for that whole process. If they're still not sitting right though a universal fix could be to mess with your stereo image. Making your instrumental slightly mono and increasing the vocal"s stereo space can help wonders when its sounding like you vocals are "behind" the instrumental.
* Cut harsh frequencies with a narrow Q (no boosting). * High pass filter. * Compression (using presets and adjust the threshold). * 2nd compressor (lower ratio on both lowering ratio on both). * De-essing (not to much, to prevent lisping). * Boost high-mids (3-4K). * Sidechaining with the instrumental. * Saturation, chorus and adlibs (with a bit of delay) in the chorus. Got it. Great tips man. :) (Also, you have great enunciation. I'm no native english speaker, yet I got every word you said and even caught that Hannibal Lecter reference in the song lyrics)
Tip: if you want a more visual stock plugin for compression, instead of fruity compressor you can use fruity limiter and then change it to compress mode and the visual interface is kinda similar to fabfilter’s.
Its great to see you getting more technical in your vids, as i think is much important than just seeing the creative process of making a beat or things like that. With the accessibility of DAWS now days people think they can just slap some samples over a beat and they are done, but mixing and editing are so much more important.
You're a beast. I work out of StudioOne but the knowledge you've presented is easily replicable in my DAW. Nonetheless, thank you sir. I feel more equipped now
Adding to this great tutorial, the best way to mix things is to use something only if it sounds like you need it. Not because someone said you have to use it. It's also important to take time and learn what everything does on FX and plugins you'll use. That way your mixing and you could be like "There's too much nasual quality in this mix lemme fin it and cut it with the eq" Or "Saturation will add some upper harmonics to this barely audible 808"
Great video! I would recommend not being so scared of the low end. It's good to get rid of the low-mid boxxy sounds yes but a bit of low end below the boxy frequencies will give it a lot of body and presence so it doesn't sound so much like a radio voice. That low end to a vocal is just as important as the high frequencies. Also, with rap vocals it is very important to to emphasize the transients. Having clean transients can turn your vocals into weapons and can help it stand out of the mix without the need of a side-chaining. Also dipping a bit of the instrumental out where the vocals are, properly compressing the vocals and eqing them to the song will also eliminate the need for side-chaining which can in turn cause problems when sent to the mastering phase when it is further compressed. Oh one last thing! Sweeping for bad frequencies can be a bad habit and can take out the life of a vocal performance. I know lots of TH-cam producers say to do so but it's more so situational than standard. What you are doing when you are sweeping is making yourself AWARE of frequencies rather than them being an actual problem. You will hear that frequency if you point it out to yourself because you are training your ears in the moment to notice them. A better approach would be to understand how vocals work and eliminate frequencies that resonate. That's when you need to do a needle cut like that. If a frequency isn't resonating uncontrollably then it is more so a vocal timbre than a problem. The more tight dips you do the more wooshy your vocals could sound when your voice passes over those frequency dips. If you are just starting out and can't point those resonating sounds out right away, try getting an Audio Spectrum Analyzer like Voxenga's Span plug-in which has a free version. With the default setting on that analyzer it will actually show peaks wherever a resonating signal is happening. It's not good practice to always use visual analyzers but if you are starting out, it's good to see it so you can learn what it sounds like so you can point it out in the future with your ears. Once your ears are trained you can keep using the visual analyzer with your ears to quickly find problems and analyze them to see if they need to be addressed. Still lots of great techniques in here! Especially with the room set up. It all starts with the recording. Sometimes mixing just entails stylizing the vocals rather than actually mixing when it is recorded properly. Using Servida's video along with these tips, you can both make your vocals sit in the mix but also sound full and present.
I feel like the amount of knowledge this comment brought to the table is on par with the vid. But I'm way too green to make heads or tails of it. Somebody @ me in a month or so, so I can come back and learn stuff. Thanks!

I just want to thank you, i learned a lot with your videos, and in one year now i can say I'm improving, and you are one of the main reason, thank you, again (If i mispelled something, sorry, I'm italian)
I found it different that you cut your breaths out. I keep em in and compress them using a multiband compressor, to me it makes it more authentic. But keep doing what you’re doing Simon👍
PLEASE do a video on sound selection! How do i know which snare, hi hat, 808, whatever fits best to my beat or my melody. I hope you‘ll see this man, cuz your tutorials are insanely good 🔥
That's a matter of practice and preference, however there are a few characteristics to look for. Timbre, transient shape (do you want a sharp snare that cuts through or a rounded kick that has a lot of sub?), and just overall vibe (as in does this sound add to the picture I'm trying to paint) hopefully that makes sense lol
If you change the “Zero Latency” setting to either one of the others, Natural or Linear does a better job of cutting out what you want out. Zero Latency let’s a lot of frequency through that you don’t want.
So true about how a good recording is really important. I hate nothing more than when people send shitty recordings and expect it to turn out impeccable. Dope as always simonita
Great video man! i remember when i first started producing i wouldn't have had a clue about any of the plugins you where talking about, and what they would do and the reasons why we use them but 2 years later i actually fully understand everything your saying and im pretty sure i could mix rap vocals just like this :)
Love your videos ❤️. I just started my fl studio journey a week ago. I have no experience at all when it comes to making music but i’m learning so much from you. it’s so much fun!
That vocal instrumental side chain trick on the high mids is a good one 🤘🏼! Thank you for your informative videos bro, helping so many producers out here 🙏🏼!
Bro I kid you not. I just finished mixing my vocals 20 minutes before this was posted. I’m actually fuming rn. The song is called “fiction” it should be up on my soundcloud page soon.

He sidechained the beat so that it ducka behind his vocals... 🧐🧐 i always sidechain the vox to the snare so that they duck behind the beat just slightly. I never thought of his way. My dad always said “There’s more than one way to skin a cat. “
How do you do this , I´ve tried to make my dynamic eq sync with the vocal and act on the instrumental but i haven´t figured it yet . Could you help me ?
Smiley Beats it’s called ‘sidechaining’. Most sidechain plugins will do it. Some DAWs are capable of pulling it off but it’s a bit more of a manual process
If you don't have FL Studio but still want free plugins that can substitute the stock ones, TDR Nova for EQing and MCompressor for compressing are my go to's and they're both free.
Cause of artist relevancy, the artists getting the most attention draw more views etc so a lot of producers make type beats for those artists to draw attention to themselves
You are so talented Simon! I have learned alot from you the last couple of months so I kinda feel bad that I can’t support you more financially. I will make a playlist with your music and put that heat on repeat because that I can do 🔥 thanks again Simon 🤝
I’d like to let everyone here know this is not actually a good tutorial. The vocals sound thin and relaxed. I would definitely find a better tutorial for this.
I think you should put the de-esser on before the compressor, because the compressed could be being triggered by loud s sounds and lowering the volume of the track unnecessarily, so if you add it before it'll be less likely to mess it up. (Same reason you put a low cut EQ on before the compressor)
That track is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥 man! Just started learning how to use FL Studio and make some music. I'm glad I ran into your channel, so far all your videos I've seen are very informational and inspiring! 👍
Before i play the video, this is actually something i got really good at after working with artists directly for years. there's very little else i could possibly learn, unless it's a different variation of something i already do. but since it's you, i expect to be proven wrong. let's see how this goes. I'll reply to this comment when the video's over.
5:26 really can hear that same room ring in your voiceover that you were demonstrating in the EQing of the vocals, possibly a lot of hard surfaces, desk, screen, roof etc, you could have a look into a large desk mat/mousemat or even hang an acoustic cloud (acoustic panel) above you to lower the standing waves :D ah the joys of square studios hehe, I struggled with the same acoustics myself, turned out being my acoustic guitar body ringing on top of the room ring, nice work tho, love the Lewitt mics, have a 440 pure myself, super crisp! comparison video of yours vs the sm57?

If you don't have FL Studio but still want free plugins that can substitute the stock ones, TDR Nova for EQing and MCompressor for compressing are my go to's and they're both free.
Oooo dope
Try making a beat with one hand.... Let's see how that goes
I just recorded my first song today and like five minutes after I finished this popped up! Thanks Simon!!!!
Haha no problem
That's awesome can I listen to it 😎
Camouflage soon bro!!
Sponsoretd by Fabfilter
I was up all night yesterday and was looking for a good tutorial but couldn’t find it.. Now I feel like heaven is bestowed upon us 🙌🏻❤️
Why are there 10000 Beat Makings vor Travis Scott, Lil Uzi, Nle etc but almost none for Asap Rocky??
Mabe you can change that Simon ?😮☺️
I like him
Cause of artist relevancy, the artists getting the most attention draw more views etc so a lot of producers make type beats for those artists to draw attention to themselves
You are so talented Simon! I have learned alot from you the last couple of months so I kinda feel bad that I can’t support you more financially. I will make a playlist with your music and put that heat on repeat because that I can do 🔥 thanks again Simon 🤝
I’d like to let everyone here know this is not actually a good tutorial. The vocals sound thin and relaxed. I would definitely find a better tutorial for this.
👍
Servida Music I’m not sure what 👍 means but i’ll go ahead and say you agree with me
This is a great updated guide from your other video. Thank you, Simon!
Thank you. I did some of these mixing ways on 3 songs from my new album that comes out in 2021. I think it sounds a LOT better. Thanks again!!! :))
I think you should put the de-esser on before the compressor, because the compressed could be being triggered by loud s sounds and lowering the volume of the track unnecessarily, so if you add it before it'll be less likely to mess it up. (Same reason you put a low cut EQ on before the compressor)
mixing vocals number 4 and Simon still with bangers
Nice! These videos are always helpful!
This is the best tutorial on vocal mixing I’ve found so far thanks bro
I was eventually hoping a video like this would come up on my suggestions, thanks Simon
No one is talking about how fire is this song man it's so perfect
That beat goes so well with the theme of the lyrics.
You have no clue how useful this was.. and coincidental bc I have been struggling for so long and wanted to learn 🥺❤️
Best vid I've seen on vocals - simple and clear! YTM
finally!! after 200 years of asking for this!
A redbull and an allnighter to get better in music production brought me here. Thank you man.
thank you man this helped so much, this turned one of the songs i hated into a literal masterpiece god bless ‼️
That track is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥 man! Just started learning how to use FL Studio and make some music. I'm glad I ran into your channel, so far all your videos I've seen are very informational and inspiring! 👍
Can you show us more on how to sidechain the Instrumental with Fab-C2 ?
90%: Have confidence.
95%: Sing good.
100%: Let Simon mix it.
HE DOESNT MISS
I like to use Fruity Limiter as my compressor. There’s a setting to switch from LIM to COMP and it’s got a great visual similar to fab filter :)
Good one as well
Just heard the song and DAMNN what a hard ass beat and the vocals are just on point. Straight fire, congrats!
I bought fabfilter plugins and soundtoys too because of this I'm hype to try them out today after work
Before i play the video, this is actually something i got really good at after working with artists directly for years. there's very little else i could possibly learn, unless it's a different variation of something i already do. but since it's you, i expect to be proven wrong. let's see how this goes. I'll reply to this comment when the video's over.
nice. nothing new,, but it's a clean mix.
Simon always comin in clutch ❤️
5:26 really can hear that same room ring in your voiceover that you were demonstrating in the EQing of the vocals, possibly a lot of hard surfaces, desk, screen, roof etc, you could have a look into a large desk mat/mousemat or even hang an acoustic cloud (acoustic panel) above you to lower the standing waves :D ah the joys of square studios hehe, I struggled with the same acoustics myself, turned out being my acoustic guitar body ringing on top of the room ring, nice work tho, love the Lewitt mics, have a 440 pure myself, super crisp!
comparison video of yours vs the sm57?
Yooo i needed this, such a good video man. Keep it up:)
Followed you on spotify.. and I love what I'm listening. Keep up the work brother ✌🏻
Great sweep technique!! Gets the best results
