Mixing Vocals with EFFECTS | Mixing Vocals with UAD Spark PART II
Vocals can be one of the easiest things we have to mix on a record OR they could leave us beating our hands against the wall after a long mixing session.
Today, I'm going to help you make mixing vocals a much simpler task by showing you my go-to vocal effects chain featuring only the plug-ins within the new UAD Spark subscription service.
More importantly, I'm going to talk a bit about what I'm thinking and WHY I choose certain plug-ins when I'm mixing vocals.
A few things you'll learn in this video:
- How to de-ess vocals using a channel strip
- How to pull a vocal forward using EQ
- How to add character to a vocal mix using tools like chorus, delays, reverb, and more.
I hope you enjoy today's tutorial!
