Whatās good yāall?
Iām an amateur mixing engineer and was working with an artist recently on a song of theirs. They like how it sounds so far but they want me to make the vocals on the second part of this song linked below more aggressive. Working with his vocals are particularly challenging because my guy likes to move around a lot in the booth when he gets into it.
I already have a couple rounds of compression (1st VCA for peaks since itās pretty dynamic, 2nd FET for shaping the tone) as well as some saturation using Nectar 3ās decimate saturation mode for the overall vibe. Iām thinking of adding some subtle distortion maybe as well as pulling back a little on the compression. What are yāallās thoughts/feedback? Would really appreciate it.
Also - this is probably one of the most challenging mixes Iāve had to do yet when it comes to dynamic consistency. The two parts within this song are wildly different in terms of vibe and feel, which makes āmasteringā pretty interesting. (No way this guy pays for a separate master). My approach so far has been to automate between a few pairs of stereo out compressors and limiters, one set for the first part that gets bypassed so that the second set of stereo out processing can take the stage in the second half. I do this in the interlude where heās just talking to make it a somewhat smooth transition. Any advice on this front as well? Thanks again.
