Some Constructive Criticism from a Fan: 1. Turn your headphones down during recording. Trust me you don’t need it that loud to record. The bleed in the takes get processed WITH the vocal which limits the potential. 2. Mix your vocals in context with the beat. You want your vocals to fit with the beat. You’ll make better decisions EQ and Compression wise. 3. Practice hearing frequencies. The sweeping method you did can cause you to take out frequencies that complement the vocal for the key the song is in. Ditch that style altogether because understanding frequencies will help A LOT in production AND engineering. 4. Be careful with cutting so much low-end in your voice. In some cases it works given the beat or style you’re going for, but know that body in vocals usually resides in the 100-200 Hz. Instead of a low-cut just use a low-shelf or bell band to deal with that frequency range. Use a low cut to cut out unnecessary low-end “rumble” that your voice isn’t really present in. 5. Learn about the parameters of a compressor so you can make better decisions for your vocals (they will change depending on the song). 6. It’s best to create send tracks in FL and send your vocal to a reverb or delay track, which will give you WAY more control. BUUUTTT if you want to continue adding that effect on the vocal directly, I would advise to put the delay before the reverb. The processing works from the top down, so if you have the reverb before the delay, it’ll delay the reverb AS WELL AS the vocal which could cause unnecessary frequency build-up. 7. Be careful with Fresh Air, or anything that adds high-end for that matter. Too much could cause your vocals to get very harsh very quick. A little goes a long way my guy. 8. Try to reach your vocal processing goal with less. Even with stock plugins you can achieve an awesome sound WITHOUT utilizing every insert on a track. For example, you used an EQ for the sweep method and another for the low cut when you could’ve used one to do both (still stop doing the sweep method lol). Usually two EQ’s are used for subtractive THEN additive. Try that method instead. All in all Sharpe, keep doing what you’re doing! I’m a long time engineer and producer and just want to see people grow and succeed in this field. Always be a student to the game! Bless you brother!

[@ethancampagna5609]

agreed with all of these critiques as a fellow music/audio engineer and producer. no shade tho at all sharpe, big fan from day 1 for real, from like 8 years ago or so. keep doing your thing fam

[@SharpeOne]

Much love brother I’m glad I could spread some tips 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Ponsuke96]

i love the no bullshit approach, straight up showing what you are doing and settings, thanks

[@beariekixx]

yoo! the maximus clear master and ambience phaser definitely enhanced my vocals! I never checked the pre-settings in maximus, I appreciate you for this!

[@fxckent]

theres also many many presets in other plugins

[@DOA47]

I am extremely new to music production on FL Studio and have looked at different videos regarding the plugins and how they work. Your video by far, Mr. Sharpe simplified everything and helped me learn and understand how the plugins work. Thank you, kindly for your time in making this vocal mix tutorial video, I sincerely appreciate it. I have subscribed to your channel as well. :)

[@SharpeOne]

This comment made my week ❤️✊🏽

[@Saif_9051t]

​@@SharpeOnebro I need a help from you.. my track sounds like died vocals and not properly sounding like one track, it sounds like just vocals placed onto the music what can I do to mix my vocals properly like the PUNJABI Artist "SIDHU MOOSE WALA" HELP ME ABOUT IT PLEASE ......

[@jxded]

You got me started in music prod back in 2017 and I'm still going at it. Super grateful for your videos so I'm glad to see you back!!!

[@SharpeOne]

Proud of you! And I’m honored to have inspired you fam 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@alexioats1]

Bro I NEEDED this video as had absolutely no clue how to start mixing vocals. Appreciate it 💙

[@luvsik]

In between breathing adds emotion, use the noise gate in the limiter instead. Also add a Desser, when you “Limit” vs “Compressing” you’re inadvertently raising all your sibilants.

[@ChristopherEdwards-jr9ke]

You know what you are saying bro

[@fishfryer87]

First vocal tutorial that actually helped me a lot, Thank you

[@prodwb]

my man, the phaser was a game changer WOW. Surprised how i never knew that😭😭😭 keep up my g🙌🙌🔥

Whattup Sharpe??!! This is the first video I seen of your in over 15 years. I watched a lot of your stuff when I was first starting to really work on music a bunch. Great to see you still doing your KZbin thing. Me and my friends been getting back together to work on music again and been trying to get knowledge up to record in home for my channel. Great video Sharpe 😀

[@SharpeOne]

much love man welcome back! but 15 years is crazy.. lmao

Your welcome friend !

[@natsuplay8808]

true its first time for me he is amazing

[@smxygoat]

Aye @sharp I wanna give you an OG tip for after u finish everything and wanna give it one final mix …. Turn your headphones down to like the lowest volume … turn every tracks volume all the way down and then one by one turn them up with your headphones at the lowest volume and mix it like that (you will notice your knobs end up a lot lower then where they are now) and then turn the headphones back up and watch how clear everything becomes !! I start with the bass until I hear just enough and I mix the rest kind of around that and then when u turn the headphones back up it’s crazy how everything fits in

[@SharpeOne]

Thanks brotha 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@SharpeOne]

Goated advice fr

[@dmose7528]

aye bro, my mix was already elite can’t lit but i added the fresh air plug-in and WOW!!! good looks bro 🙌🏽🙏

[@RatedR-sg9ly]

dude this video is literally perfect for beginners on FL, first vid ive seen using the stock autotune as well, great video if ur switching ur DAW to FL too!!

[@SharpeOne]

Thank you! Glad I could share some tips 🙏🏽

[@themichaelkemp]

This the best video for vocals. Even for a guy who makes noisy computer punk it’s indispensable

[@WyattRobbins14]

I like how after the bare basic effects to make your voice sound good, he left room for other genres that may require more (or just different) vocal processing. Wayy better than everyone else who throws a billion other plugins for no reason to look cool.

[@doobiescoo]

After this, I didn't realize how bad my vocals actually were, jesus.

This is a great tutorial for the before and after. Much appreciated! Biggest thing to make it better would be breaking down a little further what each plugin actually does, but that's not what I was expecting anyhow so still all g

glad to see u back on yt!

Yoo the phaser and the maximus...never done this before but am actually gonna ve experimenting with this🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Welshmanshots]

Out of all the videos on KZbin this was the one that actually helped me, now i can start singing and not sound so dry.

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

that face cam fade is really cool, never seen that before after watching for 7 minutes, wow you’re so talented! you’re really turning your voice into something amazing. love how you break everything down. I know basically nothing about music theory but you told me exactly what I needed to make a track 🔥

[@tea2kx]

This is pretty good thanks for the free plug-in as well. All I did was take the phaser out and added a deesser instead cause there no space for it.

[@yebbi7291]

yo bro u is a fuckin legend, i used to watch a lot of tutorials focused on jus one thing and learn it very slowly one effect by one, u just made my vocals sound way better but w no hard effects on it, just pure clean mix and thats what i been looking for forever bru, thank u sm

[@unrefined5156]

Everyone has a different approach, but those frequency buildup areas that your taking out are harmonics of the core notes ur hitting. You don’t always wanna take those completely out, just control them.

[@balbasindahaws]

You can use newtone for autotune touch.

[@homiehomie5444]

ur already creating fresh air effect by adding high end on the second eq, can be good to add for taste but you can do most of what fresh air does with an eq

[@SharpeOne]

True, I just love fresh air because it seems like they’re effect is more polished. And I think fresh air does a little more than boost the high end but I’m not exactly sure how it works

[@mememanfresh]

exactly

[@Famotybeatz]

Fresh air works like a multibands compressor not EQ

[@saginjoy]

Thanks, bro, for the Video! I actually came back to complete it :)

[@harsha6183]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was to the point without wasting too much time

[@ponsi345]

just wanna mention quick, bro that song is 🔥💫

[@dr.fillyblunt7505]

sidechain a multiband compressor to duck the frequency range your voice is dominent out of the instrumental. You can tone shape with things other than an EQ. You might want to consider utilizing predelay with your reverb so the dry signal is distinguishable from the reverb tail. If done correctly it won't sound like an echo but it will be just enough delay to where you can keep that clarity in tact.

[@sjChristopAikFord90r]

Dude, you stop posting and now you’re back lol how wild!!!

im going to ad it now trully humbled dawg from south africa by the way

[@destiny_-on1qu]

When you’re using a beat you produced like that you can side chain your vocals to your drum bus so it isn’t overpowered. I would do it to your melody too or at least have the drums and melody bussed together after the drum bus to side your vocals to it

[@RufaroMurangandi]

Bro, Sharpe videos really taught me everything I know about beat making

[@LounarOnEverything]

Appreciate the guidance sir im about to release a song with this mixing method. Im excited to see what people will think about it and I think its a big step up, so I appreciate you keep making vids!!

[@olas1883]

Cutting your vocals at 265 is crazy bruh lmao, i love ur low end why dou take so much out? sounds thin to me

[@SharpeOne]

It’s just a personal preference idk

[@trevormichaelmcgowan]

Exactly bro it removes the body from the vocal, it’s hardly preference at that point and just plain poor mixing unless he wants to sound likes in a radio the whole song😂

[@1Alchemist]

this was very useful, thank you!

[@ChimiMundale]

Please advise people to sidechain the reverb and delay for a better sound other than put it on your vocal track directly promise it’s gon make your life easier

[@Holy_frr]

How do I do that please… I just messed up someone’s mix.. I’m trying to figure out how to fix it

[@t-dog2474]

​.. Put it on another mixer track.. And then go back to the main track with plugins. And then click on that, go to the track with the reverb, and right click.. Should give you a SIDE CHAIN option

[@dewoedmt]

Fire af def saving this preset today!

[@AnthonyBarnett-ef7wz]

Bro on God you and me set up the mix pretty much the same exact way 🤯
