After realizing the advancements of technology, he knew it was time to launch his online mixing and mastering company when he no longer needed the effects of a “big room” studio to achieve high-end mixing and mastering.

Good stuff. This did freshen and brighten the vocals, added clarity, emphasised a lightness somehow. Also it’s great to do this early on, as close to the source as possible - I once had a booming result on a CD recording, only found by playing on a beatbox/ghetto blaster sat in a corner. I initially tried to fix at the ‘Mastering’ stage, but found I was stacking effect after effect, plug-ins galore, and the end quality was dull. Finally I gave in and sorted it out way back at the mix stage, giving me the brightness back and fixing the issue. So yes, take a look at where all that heavy-duty sound energy is low-down and curb it a little early-on is good advice. Thanks for the tutorial, Pro-Q3 is quite densely made, there’s a lot of subtlety to using it, and this has helped.

[@saucalini]

could you do a follow up video showing a good way to add another EQ on top of this EQ that you did with the fabfilter pro 3?

[@BeckyUmehBU]

Thank you , after applying Fab Q3 to vocals, it sound much better. please could you do another video on compression.

Thanks. Very Helpful!!

[@radofficial4672]

Yes Pro Q3 is a powerful and precise EQ, but you don't think it sounds a bit sterile/clinical. I certainly use it to fix n clean stuff up but I'm always looking for something with character when boosting.

[@mixedbymatty]

+RAD Official ya. That’s kinda the point of pro q. To be clean.

[@olafkliemt1145]

[@lexcrawford3839]

I'm so tired of my vocals sounding amateur and feel like I need to get fabfilter plugins. I know you can achieve similar things with the stock plugins but can someone tell me if fabfilter will make my life easier in getting pleasant vocals? The thing is eventually I will get fabfilter in my life time. Just want someone with experience to tell me to just get it.

[@salbakutangtondo4692]

how to do a lowcut? what to click?

[@Triumphinchrist1]

Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.Why do you cut off the LF on vocals? I thought you would loose some bass punch which might be great on male voice.Is that a rule of thumb?

[@mixedbymatty]

Just use your ear. Cut it down till you really notice it. But most of the vocal come from the mid range.

[@LiSLagInShow]

helpful, thank you

[@neokosmitaras]

great

[@Adeline-381]
