Needed this video bro !! Other producers try n finesse with gimmicks! NOT SHARPE ‼️You are truly the goat 🫡 🐐

[@SunightMusic]

Like for real. I got straighten up by watching this

[@DderronB27]

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]

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]

Thank you! Glad I could share some tips 🙏🏽

[@user-sr4pc7us9z]

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.

[@lofjndn]

thank you so much dude

[@brojaganvjm7812]

Thank you so much

[@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!!

[@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

[@criminal_ur]

Thank you so much bro❤

[@AIJune_News]

Yo, the best class I ever take

[@DURRSKE]

Appreciate that boss

[@0mggockeljoe]

[@beastly_tox123]

I LOVED THIS IT REALLY HELPED can u do a up to date mix and master tutorial please

[@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😂

[@tradermania3209]

superb

[@GuiltySouljah]

Thank you 🙏 ... This video really hepled my vocals sound way better ! 💯 ... Whens this track dropping its 🔥
