Mixing Rap Vocals with UAD Topline Vocal Suite

[@Jamminn555]

Great walk-through, Sean. And killer track, man. Benjamin

[@DreErdna]

Dope vid!!! Like mastering vocals… I’ve been using that mix tip: turning up higher frequencies on dubs to make em pop. I like it!! The song is tight too! Also, I think I speak for many of us when I say: you are the reason we complete songs as well #Coconstruction Peace, man! PS: I peep the standing desk setup (if I’m not mistaken), nice.

[@IssaMuzik]

When you watch every video of Sean and are used to dub his intro and then he adds "VERY well" and it throws you off 🤣 Merry XMas from Berlin bro!

[@pierre-julienpeyroux26]

oh Issa, exactly ahah

[@JankoFrancisty]

Powerful lyrics my man ! 👏💪 Really important lyrical content. Great work. Great job ❤️

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks man!

[@Sigorzav_Mixing]

soo quick and sounds amazing

[@ELMCinc]

Happy Holidays Sean thanks

[@clockwizemusic1]

Thanks for this walk through Sean! I think I'm going to make that purchase!

[@majorgokberk]

You are a wonderful detail, I watch his video and follow him. I hope you will always stay with me. Greetings from Türkiye. (Turkey)

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks for the kind words 🙏

[@rjrecords]

Great walkthrough ! Love from Belgium ❤

[@blulacez4421]

That formant shifting certainly brought some needed grittiness to the harmonies! Well done.

[@yunghommie8658]

The great Sean

[@traezaX1]

Love the plugin and the song too

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

I was searching Spotify for this song, when it’s gonna be out, Sean? Great stuff brother!

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks brother. I’ve got another verse to be recorded soon then I’ll release it!

[@saf1304]

Song is fire! where can i listen to it?

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks! Coming soon, it will be on my Spotify / Apple Music page.

[@kevenayers8062]

❤❤Jesus Rap❤❤

[@majorgokberk]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@ernieg]

i was looking for a link to that Desk but i couldnt find it in your studio gear link

[@Vybescube]

Sean I love your videos. Been a fan for years what interface are you using

[@bovinebloodline]

Pretty sure he uses the Apollo 8 but UA Apollo basically

[@SeanDivine]

Yep, it’s the x8 gen 2

[@jamescassidy4045]

Bro! Been to long! Great to see your current setup, looks badass! Love that RND Portico, such a great box. Those DBX 902's are pretty sweet too. I know you probably aren't planning on it at all, but if you ever thought about selling them could you let me know? I've been wanting a pair forever. No pressure, but just thought I'd throw it out there. Anyway, hope all is well bro, and Happy Holidays.

[@SeanDivine]

Thanks man! I’ll be keeping the 902’s. You can usually find them for cheap on second hand sites, just have to be patient. They’ve gotten tougher to find in working shape!

[@jamescassidy4045]

@ No worries dude. Yeah, there’s lots around, and easy enough to fix for sure. That’s kinda the jam with a lot of vintage stuff, everything’s getting older by the day, but the beauty of gear thats made/still made like this is that it’s meant to be serviced, and definitely easy enough to service.

[@whereisAdrian]

xvox pro got the world scared

[@EHall-yx9xy]

XVOX Pro is something SERIOUS!!! Real Talk. Imagine if they partnered with a major DAW company. Presonus for instance!

[@RomeoRuizMusic]

Agreed on this one. Everyone is jumping on the single mixing plugin wagon now.

[@whereisAdrian]

@@EHall-yx9xy yea straight up I know it u conventional but… XVox sounds so good im just PRINTING it right off the box

[@whereisAdrian]

@@RomeoRuizMusic and I’ve been trying them… Xvox right now is the best one I’ve tested… but you just gotta be careful not come in too bright.

[@mixbywheeler2025]

I actually just mixed a track with xvox pro so much easier to dial in vocals fast and get where your going with our wasting time

[@TheZkills]

every time I watch your videos bro I regret selling my Fusion

[@SeanDivine]

Still a great piece!

[@KripToeKerr]

Hey Sean, have you stopped leasing beats? I felt like you were the best producer on the internet but it seemed like you stopped posting beats. Is there a new website you might have them on? Thanks!

[@SeanDivine]

Appreciate that. I’m still making beats, just not leasing at this point.

[@beatprocess]

hmm, :"very well". how does this compare to auto tune effect?

[@pierre-julienpeyroux26]

Hey, 'Very Well !' .. )) hehe

[@pierre-julienpeyroux26]

Good end of the year Sean x Nice work here again

[@trel-money]

So I used your preset im a drill rapper but it makes the vocals sound dark what do you recommend?

[@SeanDivine]

You can turn up the High / Air in the EQ section to taste.

[@DAFFONEOfficial]

Probably trying to copy those from Nuro Audio, (X vox Pro) Nuro audio is definitely superior, it's above Topline. Topline is also expensive, but honestly it's not worth the money!

[@micahbanda7524]

😂😂😂 Why are they trying to copy Nuro audios XVox ?

[@aaronthomas7790]

UAD seems conflicted with their strategy. Their main appeal used to be low latency tracking in console and the last few big ones they're pushing can only be used native vst. Seems strange to me. Good overview of this if you need something all in one.

[@SeanDivine]

Hopefully this one might include UAD processing at some point… I imagine it would take up a lot of resources as it’s a very intensive plugin.

[@Godisgood137]

Honestly not worth it imo

[@blasian99]

I am new, why? Any better alternatives?
