Oh man when i commented on your other video yesterday asking to do a vocal mixing vid, i didnt realise that you would get it done the next day! Thanks heaps this is great!!!!
“Again, I know you have it”. This was a straightforward approach and that free download for what we need?? Very nice. Your style and length of instruction helps to showcase how anyone can do it if they just try. Thank you!
thank you, as someone that has played with this program with little to no experience- this video has helped me learn some things to pull my vocals together! thank you
Excellent use of Razor Editing. Been trying to wrap my head around the concept but this video, along with your Razor Edit explanation video made it crystal clear - thanks!👍
Thank you so much for your videos. For me, learning Reaper is a daunting process and your teaching style and the pace is perfect. You are helping me learn something that I thought would not be possible. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for these videos, man. I started with LMMS, then purchased FL Studio full bundle but when my engineering skills grew and a need for efficiency when processing vocals arose, I no longer found FL intuitive for vocal production. I bought the REAPER License and I so far love the vocal production workflow. While I think every DAW has its strengths and weaknesses, REAPER is a good investment for audio engineers, especially those in vocal production. Again, thank you for the tutorials, Kenny.
Kenny you are super awesome. People are overinflating plugins nowadays, but your basics are so clear, you can do it old school. Thanks a ton for this video Followed along for my song. It's sounding really cool. ❤
Thanks so much Kenny, you'll never know how helpful you've been to me being able to release many songs. Just with what I learned from you, I think my stuff sounds really good. I sent one of my songs to a well-known mixing engineer and he really didn't have much to critique! On my next song, I'm working with my usual singer and she has a beautiful and sweet voice, sometimes though when I play something loud with her voice it breaks up, too many mids or something IDK. It's not super loud compared to everything else, I guess that frequency is just difficult for speaker mids to play loudly. I am doing everything on your list here, I'll try it out when I get the final isolated mix. You're the best!
A helpful tip for when you make your wide delay in the first portion; You can right click on the ReaDelay text itself and if you select FX Chain, Save Selected FX Chain name it and hit save, This will now be able to to quickly be pulled up as an FX in the same manner you looked for ReaDelay. Just makes finding and applying the FX chain easier without having to redo the whole process each time.
As a topic I’ve been avoiding FOR MONTHS. Seeing what you did to that vocal track in just the first two minutes made me wanna kick rocks😂. SUCH A huge difference
Another great video. My biggest problem with doing vocals is panicking and throwing too much processing on them. And it always ends up thin and too loud.
If the razor edits in envelope affect the main vocal track what was the purpose of showing us the touch mode? was that just another method demonstration or is it necessary to do both?
Kenny, what about adding a second compressor with a slower attack to the chain to further smooth things out? Could you expand on that, perhaps in a part B to this tutorial? Thanks for all your great tutes! 💯
What microphone are you using? And are you panning a second track left and right? It sounds great and sounds so full so I was curious what mic you were using and what tricks you do to make the vocal track stand out more in regards to panning a dub left and right.
I would suggest setting reverb times [RT60] to a note value and the same for pre-delays. I've found that 1/32 or 1/64 note value for pre-delay depending on tempo, 1/2 to whole for RT60. The method shown for sibilance works well for P-pops. Instead of boosting harsh frequencies into the compressor making the compressor work harder why not cut some of those frequencies? EQ can also be used in the sidechain of the compressor to reduce the compressor action at certain frequencies. That how many sibilance plugins work.
Thank you for your help! Great video, I discovered afterward, I could save the whole effect chain, which is no doubt very well known, but not to this novice! I've called it Vocs Kenny, it's a great starting point to have that I can work/mod as I learn a bit more. Thanks again!
Nice! I’m working on a Rock song called Keep Looking! I’m having trouble on the “S” park, it’s more like N for Me on Now, as of right now it sounds great, thank you very much!!!! Like really!
Wow - I didn't know that trick with razor edits on the envelope! I've been doing a time selection and double-clicking the envelope. Before that I was using the Insert 4 Points Action.
Basically when it's anything to do with Reaper you are the godfather, right now I have a splitting headache from sitting at the desk listening to the same song over and over and over, adding plugins one down on top of the next from reaper to uad fab filter, izotope and ending up in a complete mess, having the best but not getting the best, the fraze less is more is certainly a true fact, now that I will finally understand how to mix vocal, next is creating a drums template In Reaper 7 to work with ezd3 and my e drums e kit nux dm 210, If anyone can create this tutorial, Kenny your king!!

Absolute boss, str8 to the point, no bullshit, no promos, no begging for subs likes etc. best channel on TH-cam hands down
Love your work Kenny. Thanks for all the effort you put in to making my music sound better 😅

"I Know You Have It" would actually be a great title for a song.

That was intense! Learned a lot! Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your videos. You explain so well!
Another great video. My biggest problem with doing vocals is panicking and throwing too much processing on them. And it always ends up thin and too loud.
I like em fat and soft spoken myself. ;)
Yeah that was my problem too
OMG dude that tip with the lexington IRs is pure gold. You just saved my vocal mix.
It wouldn't surprise me if this is Kenny himself singing. Beautiful! Can you post the link to the full song?
It's been a long time since I heard a song like this, fantastic and beautiful Muchas Gracias maestro
Who was the singer , beautiful voice !!!!
Reminds me of Thom Yorke a bit

This is such invaluable knowledge, thank you so much for giving it all away for free.
This channel is amazing!!!
Thanks man, I have been looking for a way to reduce those s sounds in reaper. Much love!
Love your content, this video helped me tremendously!!!
Whoever's voice that was has the vocal chords of an angel
Thanks Kenny. Your videos always help so much.
THIS IS SO HELPFUL! thank you so much!
Another amazing and super useful video! Thank Kenny! 🤝 What an amazing voice too!
AMAZING Tune and lesson!
Great advice Kenny ! Thanks again !!
Yesssss Ive needed help with this for so long
This is immensely valuable, thank you
Always learning something cheers

Once again, you've outdone yourself!!!! :) Thanks!!!
Good tips Kenny Thanks.
Fantastic, Kenny.
Many thanks.
This video really helped me! thank you so so much!!!! you are an amazing teacher and such a blessing!
Thanks sir this was the video i was looking for!
Thank you so much!!
As always writing a comment to support the channel
Very nice and clear. I just got to figure out that last step. Thank you.
Didn't see the quick adjustment on Length (musical) from 4 to 0. Was wondering why mine sounded nothing like yours haha. Great video, once again
Thank you very much !

You always come up with something great ❤
Excellent Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting that you do the delay and verb before the Comp and eq. I usually always do the comp and eq first.
Thanks Kenny, going to give it a try. I have my cheat note.
Thanks a lot for all these videos, very helpfull - great work!🙏🏻
Thanks for the Idea that De-essing via envelope manually is actually easier than using a plugin
Good stuff...thanks again Kenny. I've learned so much from you.
Thankyou so much tuan di pelajaran bagian delay vokal nya❤
Another great video--extremely helpful. Thanks!
Thanks Master ☺️👍
I cannot thank you enough.

Man thank you thank you thank you ! This help me soooo much ! Really Thanks man you great 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
great as usual, many thanks!
Nice one - thanks Kenny!
Hey are you mixing this in stereo on mono monitoring? I just found out that you’re allegedly supposed to mix in mono then stereo?
You're not supposed to do anything.
This will work for live vocals too .. Awesome …
Nice! I’m working on a Rock song called Keep Looking! I’m having trouble on the “S” park, it’s more like N for Me on Now, as of right now it sounds great, thank you very much!!!! Like really!
Wow - I didn't know that trick with razor edits on the envelope! I've been doing a time selection and double-clicking the envelope. Before that I was using the Insert 4 Points Action.
LOL the inserting 4 points is so relatable
The man is a Reaper magician!
thanks a lot kind sir!
You didn't add the reverb and delay in an aux track ?
Really love this method.
Thanks alot for your lectures.
This was so helpful thank you! ❤
Thanks for the video. Would these same principles apply for rapping vocals ?
Is there a way to have the razor edit and all you showed to do this, but having then top points 1 and 3 wider than the bottom two?
Would love to see you mix a project with horns @reapermania especially the reggae genre... I'd appreciate that
Thanks, as always! This and the mixing acoustic guitar one were particularly helpful for me. I like how you give me the confidence to do less. 😜
So I can use a volume envelope to de-ess and remove breaths including t and p plosives...
Any reason you don't cut the low end before the compressor?
Wow Man, Thank You Bro !
Can I request sir? Please make a video on how to do an Electronic Pop vocal mix.
Great learning video! Thank you. What did you do with the voice in the chorus? There's some sort of modulation or doubling going on.
Thanks ❤❤
thanks for sharing
Great stuff...👍
Is there a faster way to make razor edits on vocals… that would literally take all day… editing, cutting etc while going through the whole song
This song is pretty awesome 😂
SUPER FANTASTIC!!!! 🎤 🎙️ 🤩💯🎵😎⭐️👍💥⚡️🎼🎶🎵
Reverb information was useful, thanks
What band is this? They are good
But where is the basic Treble Bass Mid EQ Knobs for Vocals? Thats all i want but cant find it.
Great Kenny
Beginner here, can we try this on live services?
Thanks buddy! You helped me out
How do I match tempo between an instrumental and an acapella from another song? (pitch of instrumental allowed to change)
Basically when it's anything to do with Reaper you are the godfather, right now I have a splitting headache from sitting at the desk listening to the same song over and over and over, adding plugins one down on top of the next from reaper to uad fab filter, izotope and ending up in a complete mess, having the best but not getting the best, the fraze less is more is certainly a true fact,
now that I will finally understand how to mix vocal, next is creating a drums template In Reaper 7 to work with ezd3 and my e drums e kit nux dm 210,
If anyone can create this tutorial, Kenny your king!!
