3 plugins for mixing vocals to a 2-track instrumental 😤

[@AyYoWinston]

It's rare someone mixes a song that I actually wanna listen to outside of the video!

[@KuvCover]

My top 3 plug-in 2 track instrumental. 0. Gain/trim - bring down the volume on the instrumental 1. Neutron transient shaper (no side chain)- to bring some hi-hat and snare due to instrumental got compressed and limiting 2. Fab MB (side chain-vocal) - same as yours but since vocal is mono so I will put my MB only affect on the Mid only not on stereo 3. Waves Center (no side chain) - bring down instrumental center 1-2db and upward the side like 1-2db, creating room for the vocal

[@mixwithjacob]

Very nice! Using the Sidechain in Mono on the Center channel will definitely preserve some information in the sides!

[@bankblessing2038]

Fantastic

[@bankblessing2038]

Good I get phase issues when I add reverb to my vocals , the Pro Mb in the stereo side chain will definitely be the cause of that

[@konamipls]

please make a video doing this

[@MAMAvsGOD]

So u use track spacer?

[@SeanAtalioti]

Off the mixing courses I've done not one has mentioned side-chaining with these VST tools it's always been use a compressor and I could never tell if I had done it correctly - Thank you Jacob

[@gregorymcclendon5715]

Dude you mixed the shit outta this track! Vocal is killer. Sounding super nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@mixwithjacob]

Thanks Gregory!

[@BillGraper]

I love the Trackspacer. I'm going to buy it. I'm just waiting to see if it goes on sale this month for Black Friday.

[@poindextertunes]

Man Trackspacer was a game changer for me. I abuse it tho as I tend to make very loud and bassy tracks

[@mixwithjacob]

Trackspacer is godly

[@user-mz3ni8yu4v]

Love this trick! That song sound fire as well

[@allituttilove]

Hello. I was wondering...where I put the trackspacer plugin? In the master channel or in a bus with the instrumental and vocals? I'm a beginner at this ;((. Thank you so much in advance.

[@ameirst2131]

You can really see the effort you put into making the video

[@drecurry9857]

Only question is what is the output of the send “mono 10”

[@drecurry9857]

On Luna you have to set your outputs on the sends , that’s why I’m asking

[@mixwithjacob]

That may be my bass side chain! Not sure

[@krlegacy]

Nice 🔥

[@djtuff514]

Great vid, you didn't mention the settings for the attack and release for trackspacer and its mid/side ability,

[@mixwithjacob]

I’m actually still discovering that plug-in so this is SUPER handy to know. Thank you!

[@fuadgritliofficialchannel]

do you use those three at once or each on its own when is available ?

[@mixwithjacob]

@@fuadgritliofficialchannel I’ll usually use a combination of the three over the scope of the full mix on different things. But specifically for the vocal to the instrumental, I use track spacer.

[@FlowerBoyH]

Should we use both multiband and trackspacer?

[@mixwithjacob]

i use a combination of both on different busses throughout the mix process!

[@alwaysinthelab6698]

Great video, love track spacer appreciate the info on the filtering! Just subbed, would love to see a video on uploading to streaming with a two track song especially KZbin, no matter what I do my music is always so quiet due to the normalization. Just found your page maybe you already have that, again great content!

[@mixwithjacob]

Hey! To be honest, I don’t think there’s a secret to it. I try and get my songs, the loudest possible, usually the final master sits between -8 and -6 LUFS. This question may be better suited for a proper mastering engineer, I suggest looking up Panorama Mastering. An Australian friend of mine who makes great content!

[@officiallistengreatmuzik]

Question.... Is the Instrumental and the beat in the same bus channel?

[@mixwithjacob]

Instrumental/Beat is just a stereo track, and it's only going to the mix bus!

[@officiallistengreatmuzik]

@mixwithjacob ok I'll give it a try. Is there any way I could send you a sample of my mixing through an email and receive some feed back on what can be corrected?

[@mixwithjacob]

[@officiallistengreatmuzik]

@@mixwithjacob will do thank you

[@mixedbysuede]

Could I do this with the C4 or do I have to get the C6?

[@mixwithjacob]

It can also be done with c4 no problem you just don’t have the notch bands !

[@user-qh5uy8xi5m]

If i have clap wht best realease whit trackspacer

[@donrosc]

11:10 With the Fabfilter Pro Q, you're not entirely correct. It's a dynamic eq. You can even sidechain it to another track or do an internal sidechain. If you toggle the dynamic eq section, it can act like a multiband eq compressor.. Great video. I use trackspacer the same way as you mentioned ✊🏾

[@mixwithjacob]

Correct! But with the classic EQ it wouldn’t give the same result. You could use dynamic eq in sidechain with Pro Q AND even sidechain with Soothe for similar effects. Thanks for watching!

[@JC-jt3ug]

Really annoying that i pay for the waves premium subscription and it doesnt come with track spacer

[@mixwithjacob]

Track Spacer is made by WAVESFACTORY - not Waves. Different company!

[@JC-jt3ug]

@@mixwithjacob ohhh haha silly companies with similar names 🤣

[@dsremixes1992]

Great Channel!💯👍

[@tonygward08]

I thought FabFilter has dynamic EQ?

[@mixwithjacob]

It does!

[@amanat7861]

I dont know which FF Pro MB Version you are using because i can´t see any KEY INPUT option on my VST Plugin and i am using Logic Pro X

[@mixwithjacob]

For logic users - I’m not 100% sure where the key input is on the plug-in windows. The key input area in my videos are pro tools specific. Do you see, on the top right of the Pro MB window a “Side Chain” input?

[@JiiNxMusic]

Top right of basically all of the plugins in logic you will see the side chain input.

[@syamsir3469]

hey i’m confused about the pro mb, do we put that on the vocal track or the beat?

[@mixwithjacob]

The beat!

[@davidnle]

wow..very cool video. I am a beginner..... and I would like a sample of this. Can I send you the music track and the vocal recording track and you can mix this so I can hear the difference? I would definitely appreciate it if you could help me. Thanks

[@GrisibagageSnnaa-qz6zw]

When I use this technique with wavesfactoey the CPU runs out the roof.. anyone else?

[@paulmurillo9014]

Kinda confusing where you put those plug ins are. The pro mb was in the all vocal track and the next two plug ins were put as an insert in the track?

[@mixwithjacob]

They were all inserted on the instrumental, track and side chained from the vocal!
