🎤 Mixage des Voix : Stratégie et Plugins

Le paragraphe 1 aborde la complexité du mixage des voix en fonction du chanteur et de l'équipement d'enregistrement. L'auteur partage une stratégie qu'il a développée au fil des 15 dernières années pour un mixage de voix moderne, indépendamment du genre musical. Il mentionne l'utilisation de plugins Waves, tout en reconnaissant que des plugins gratuits peuvent également être utilisés en ajustant plus précisément les paramètres. Il propose également un guide de plugins gratuits pour le mixage et la maîtrise. L'auteur, Bobby Bailo, se présente comme un ingénieur du son à Raytown Productions, qui aide à améliorer la qualité musicale sans devoir acheter de l'équipement coûteux.

🔊 Équilibrage des Tonalités Vocales

Le paragraphe 2 explique comment équilibrer les voix en utilisant un compresseur multi-bande pour s'adapter aux enregistrements avec micros condensateurs ou dynamiques. L'auteur détaille l'utilisation du plugin Wave C6 pour ajuster les basses et les hautes fréquences, et pour gérer les plosives. Il illustre les réglages de compression et d'amplification pour obtenir un son vocal plein et clair, tout en évitant les sons trop aigus ou trop lourds.

10:01

🎚️ Compression pour un Performance Vocale Cohérente

Dans le paragraphe 3, l'auteur explique comment utiliser un compresseur pour unifier la performance vocale et assurer un niveau sonore cohérent. Il utilise le plugin CLA-76 de Waves pour ajuster l'attaque et la libération des sons, et pour ajouter de la 'vitalité' à la voix. Il mentionne également l'utilisation d'un deuxième compresseur, le CLA-2A, pour créer une performance plus dynamique et pour 'coller' ensemble les différentes parties de la chanson.

15:01

🚫 Contrôle des Sons Dur et Brillants avec un De-esser

Le paragraphe 4 traite de l'utilisation d'un de-esser pour atténuer les sons aigus et les fréquences qui peuvent être pénibles à l'oreille, comme les sons sibilants. L'auteur montre comment régler le de-esser pour s'assurer qu'il ne réagit que lorsque les voix deviennent trop brillantes. Il insiste sur l'importance de l'oreille pour juger du bon fonctionnement du de-esser plutôt que de se fier uniquement aux jauges.

20:04

🔝 Utilisation d'un Limiteur pour Contrôler la Dynamique Vocale

Le paragraphe 5 met l'accent sur l'ajout d'un limiteur à la chaîne de mixage des voix pour s'assurer que rien ne devienne trop fort dans la chanson. Malgré l'utilisation de plusieurs compresseurs, l'auteur considère que le limiteur est essentiel pour le contrôle global de la performance vocale et pour éviter la nécessité de faire de l'automatisation excessive. Il utilise le plugin L1 de Waves pour 'muretiser' légèrement la voix.

Highlights

Vocal mixing can be challenging due to the variety of recording techniques and microphones used.

A single plugin chain may not work for all vocals, necessitating a versatile mixing strategy.

The Waves vocal plugin chain is recommended for achieving a modern vocal sound.

Free plugins can be used effectively if Waves plugins are unaffordable.

A comprehensive guide to free mixing and mastering plugins is available.

The guide includes plugins for compression, limiting, clipping, distortion, and reverb.

Bobby Bailo introduces himself as a mixing and mastering engineer at Raytown Productions.

The session example is from a band called Street Urchins from California.

Vocals typically have two tones: bright and airy or warmer and less airy.

A multi-band compressor is used to reshape the tonality and balance of vocals.

The Waves C6 plugin is a go-to for initial vocal shaping.

Parametric bands are used to handle plosives and reduce boominess or harshness.

A specific band is used to create a powerful, full mid-range vocal sound.

High-frequency bands are boosted to achieve a bright and airy vocal sound.

Compression is used to control the level and prevent overly bright moments.

The Waves CLA-76 compressor is used for performance squeezing and level consistency.

Attack and release parameters are critical for achieving the desired vocal sound.

A de-esser is used to control sibilance and prevent harsh frequencies.

play00:00

vocals can be so hard to mix sometimes

play00:03

and depending on the singer

play00:05

and how the vocals are recorded what

play00:08

they use for microphones whether it's a

play00:10

condenser mic or a dynamic microphone

play00:13

like i'm using

play00:14

you get so many different palettes of

play00:17

sound so just having a single plug-in

play00:20

chain doesn't ever seem to work

play00:22

until now

play00:24

i want to share with you a strategy that

play00:26

i've developed over the last 15 years or

play00:29

so for mixing vocals that seems to work

play00:33

for whatever vocal i throw at it doesn't

play00:35

matter what genre it is as long as

play00:38

you're going for a modern sounding vocal

play00:40

now don't get me wrong you're gonna have

play00:42

to tweak it a little bit depending on

play00:44

the song or the project you're working

play00:47

on but for 99 of the time this waves

play00:50

vocal plug-in chain just does the trick

play00:53

now if you don't have any of these

play00:55

plug-ins or you just can't afford them

play00:56

right now that's totally fine you can

play00:59

definitely use any stock plug-in that

play01:01

does the same thing it might just take a

play01:03

little bit more work and if you're

play01:04

looking for some really good free mixi

play01:07

mastering plugins i've put together a

play01:09

comprehensive guide for you already

play01:12

there's a link to that in the

play01:13

description this guide has everything

play01:16

from compressors limiters clippers

play01:19

distortion

play01:21

special effects there's reverbs these

play01:22

are plugins that i literally use for

play01:24

mixing mastering music every single day

play01:26

and some of them even sound better in my

play01:28

opinion than some of my paid plugins so

play01:31

if that sounds interesting to you go and

play01:32

check out that guide again there's a

play01:35

free download in the description if you

play01:37

don't know me yet my name is bobby bailo

play01:39

i'm the mixing and mastering engineer at

play01:41

raytown productions and i help you make

play01:44

better sounding music without needing to

play01:46

play02:05

play02:07

support them they are an awesome bunch

play02:10

of dudes i have links to their social

play02:12

media accounts and all that stuff in the

play02:14

description as well so when you're

play02:15

dealing with vocals in most

play02:18

sessions you're going to basically have

play02:21

two different tones you're going to have

play02:23

a very bright airy modern sounding vocal

play02:26

which is usually recorded with a large

play02:28

diaphragm condenser microphone or you're

play02:31

going to have something that's a little

play02:32

bit warmer and not so airy just like

play02:35

this uh dynamic mic that i'm using okay

play02:38

so

play02:39

in order for us to have a plug-in chain

play02:42

that works for

play02:43

any of these things we need to find a

play02:46

way to sculpt

play02:48

the overall balance in a way that

play02:51

adjusts to both a condenser style mic

play02:54

and the dynamic mic

play02:55

so the first thing we're going to do is

play02:58

put on a multi-band compressor just to

play03:01

reshape these the tonality and the

play03:04

balance of the vocal regardless if it's

play03:06

recorded with a condenser or a dynamic

play03:09

mic so let's just hear what the vocals

play03:11

sound like

play03:14

[Music]

play03:23

[Music]

play03:26

so you can hear the vocal isn't super

play03:28

bright right it sounds kind of warm so

play03:31

this is probably actually recorded with

play03:32

a dynamic microphone

play03:34

now the way i like to reshape vocals is

play03:38

by using wave c6 and i absolutely love

play03:42

this plugin this is my default load

play03:45

state of this plug-in okay so anytime i

play03:49

load up a track to work on this is what

play03:51

comes up first

play03:52

and you probably noticed i didn't use an

play03:53

eq before that's because we can handle

play03:56

all the plosives by uh adjusting to gain

play03:58

this low band let me just give you a

play04:00

quick

play04:01

run through of what i have set up here

play04:03

so two of these bands are

play04:06

basically parametric bands okay you move

play04:08

this anywhere you want so those i have

play04:11

set at 150 hertz and 2

play04:14

and 2 500 hertz and the reason is is 150

play04:18

is where vocals will sometimes get kind

play04:20

of boomy sounding or muddy

play04:22

and

play04:23

two and a half k is where they can get

play04:26

really annoying and kind of cut through

play04:28

and be harsh and honky sounding

play04:31

so i typically just set it up this way

play04:33

and then i'll fine-tune it

play04:35

depending on the vocalist style

play04:37

everything under about 105 hertz i'm

play04:39

basically cutting completely away i'm

play04:40

pulling this down 18 db

play04:43

and then we're also gonna do some

play04:45

multi-band compression uh with a range

play04:48

of minus six db so it'll pull off

play04:51

another 6 db if the vocals get too bassy

play04:54

for some reason so then i have a band

play04:56

from 105 hertz to 3.5 k

play05:00

this basically is going to be

play05:02

the vocal that is reproduced on most

play05:05

low-fi speaker systems like let's say

play05:07

your car or a cell phone or something so

play05:10

this band is going to do a lot of the

play05:12

heavy lifting for us

play05:13

what i like to do here is

play05:16

lock in a very powerful full

play05:19

mid-range vocal sound by boosting

play05:23

3 db of the vocal tone and at the same

play05:27

time we're going to compress it back

play05:29

down

play05:30

actually and we're going to compress it

play05:32

even lower than its normal level okay so

play05:34

what this is doing is we're raising

play05:36

those frequencies into the compressor

play05:38

and the compressor is actively always

play05:40

pushing that down so we have a very flat

play05:43

consistent mid-range of our vocal the

play05:45

entire performance okay so this is

play05:48

helping to reshape the vocal tone

play05:50

regardless of its condenser or

play05:52

dynamic mic okay and we're going to

play05:54

follow that same strategy in the higher

play05:56

frequencies too

play05:57

most modern vocal sounds

play06:00

are very bright and airy okay

play06:03

so what i like to do is we'll boost this

play06:06

high band from 3.5 k to 9 and a half k

play06:10

pretty aggressively like

play06:12

maybe 8 db

play06:14

um so it's

play06:16

noticeably bright okay and we're going

play06:18

to do the same strategy where we have

play06:20

up to maybe 12 or sometimes i'll even

play06:22

pull us down to minus 16 db of potential

play06:25

gain reduction okay so again we're

play06:28

boosting those high frequencies to make

play06:30

on average the tone to be on the bright

play06:33

side and then any time things get too

play06:35

bright the compressor's going to grab

play06:37

all those frequencies out

play06:38

exactly the same strategy for the

play06:40

highest airy band okay so everything

play06:43

above 9.5 k i'm gonna boost probably at

play06:47

least 8 db if not more sometimes i've

play06:49

gone up to 12 or 16 db if i if i'm

play06:53

missing that air off the vocal again

play06:56

hold this range knob down so we're also

play06:58

attenuating it so it doesn't run away on

play07:01

us okay so let me show you how i dial

play07:03

this in when we're playing the vocal

play07:05

like i've been stuck in this rut for so

play07:08

long

play07:09

i mean if i pass all the bands i'll put

play07:10

them in one at a time

play07:14

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play07:18

this laptop so this one again that

play07:20

cleans up the plosives and any of the

play07:22

really rumbly base that we don't really

play07:24

want in our vocal

play07:27

i feel alone

play07:33

this band is there just to thicken it

play07:35

and keep it consistent i've been stuck

play07:37

in this rod for so long

play07:40

and i'm afraid to make a change perfect

play07:43

from this

play07:45

this is gonna be our presence or like

play07:47

the articulation of the vocal

play07:50

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play07:53

this life that i'm used to

play07:56

but i know

play07:57

without a goal so you can see it's

play08:00

it's really

play08:02

bright but it never gets too bright

play08:04

right

play08:05

let's add this air band i'm just wasting

play08:07

time

play08:08

wasting away

play08:10

another day

play08:13

like i've been stuck in this rut for so

play08:15

long

play08:17

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play08:20

this life that i'm used to now if you're

play08:23

too aggressive with this you can

play08:24

actually

play08:25

cause the vocalist to sound like they

play08:26

have a lisp so be very careful with how

play08:29

much you're actually attenuating your

play08:31

thresholds biting into the track too

play08:33

much or you have too much gain reduction

play08:35

so just lower your range

play08:37

another thing you can do is change the

play08:39

attack and release parameters

play08:41

i have very very fast releases on all my

play08:45

high bands because i want the airiness

play08:47

to stay there

play08:48

if you have a really long release you're

play08:51

going to get this weird like pumping

play08:52

motion in the high frequencies and it's

play08:54

gonna be really noticeable and it's

play08:55

gonna be distracting if you wanna add a

play08:57

little bit more aggression or presence

play09:00

to the vocal you can just have a slower

play09:02

attack as well that'll let any of the

play09:04

little sharp transients jump through

play09:06

before it attenuates uh the really high

play09:08

frequencies so let me dial that in

play09:12

like i've been stuck in this rod for so

play09:14

too short let's open it up and i'm

play09:16

afraid to make a change from this life

play09:20

that i'm used to but i know

play09:23

without a goal

play09:25

i'm jo

play09:26

i feel so alone like i've been stuck in

play09:29

this rut for so long

play09:32

and i'm afraid to make a change

play09:36

all right so i think i think we're

play09:38

getting a good spot here

play09:40

from this life that i'm used to

play09:42

well let's activate this 2.5 k band just

play09:46

to help with a little bit of the

play09:47

honkiness of that

play09:49

feel so alone

play09:55

and i'm afraid to make a change so i'm

play09:58

just you can use the solo band to find

play10:00

the specific frequency from this life

play10:03

that i'm used to

play10:05

but i know

play10:06

without a goal ah there it is it's so

play10:09

much smoother now let me show you

play10:11

without it

play10:12

stuck in this rod for so long

play10:15

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play10:19

this life that i'm used to

play10:21

cool perfect

play10:23

um and at this point i think we're

play10:25

pretty good in terms of using

play10:27

the wave c6 to shape the vocal let's now

play10:31

go to the next step so now we want to do

play10:34

is we want to squeeze the performance

play10:36

together so we have a consistent level

play10:38

and typically that's done using just a

play10:40

regular compressor in

play10:43

this case

play10:44

i tend to use waves cla 76 so this is

play10:47

just a 1176 compressor i think the bluey

play10:51

mode sounds a little bit cooler it just

play10:54

has a little bit more vibe to it than

play10:56

the black i always go with this one

play10:58

now there's basically two main

play11:00

parameters you want to worry about the

play11:02

attack and release i find that for

play11:04

vocals you usually want them very close

play11:06

to the front

play11:07

of the mix so

play11:10

have a really fast release okay and on

play11:12

this type of compressor a fast release

play11:15

is a high number it's kind of backwards

play11:17

from how most compressors are designed

play11:19

but just crank it up here if the

play11:21

vocalist feels like they're too far in

play11:23

front you can just

play11:25

slow the release down and that'll give

play11:27

this sense that the vocalist is going

play11:29

farther back in the mix

play11:31

and then you can think of this attack

play11:32

knob as like an aggression knob okay if

play11:34

you have it really fast it's just going

play11:36

to be flat across it's really not going

play11:38

to have a lot of movement it's going to

play11:40

just kind of be the same whole way which

play11:42

is kind of boring in my opinion

play11:44

so i like to have the attack between

play11:46

like five and maybe two somewhere in

play11:49

here that lets a little bit of the

play11:51

performance go through so it feels a

play11:54

little bit more lively let's dial in

play11:55

some compression here and just get a

play11:58

nice solid consistent performance just

play12:01

alone i like i've been stuck in this rod

play12:04

for so long

play12:06

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play12:10

this life that i'm used to

play12:12

but i know

play12:14

without a goal

play12:15

i'm just wasting time

play12:18

and i would say be careful looking at

play12:20

the meter trust your ears you'll know if

play12:22

you're compressing it too much i know i

play12:24

know a lot of times people see and

play12:26

they're like wow it goes up to minus 10

play12:28

db

play12:29

don't let that fool you right that might

play12:31

just be a loud moment in the song so

play12:35

if as long as it sounds okay just go

play12:37

with it you're so alone i like i've been

play12:40

stuck in this rod for so long

play12:43

cool this is a good starting point i'm

play12:45

liking that i will say after compressing

play12:48

the vocal i think it is a little on the

play12:49

bright side so let's come back here

play12:51

let's bring these these down a little

play12:53

bit and let's boost up that

play12:55

that low mid band that helps to thicken

play12:58

the vocal right here this one

play13:00

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play13:04

this life that i'm used to

play13:06

well there we go

play13:08

all right i think we're good to go now

play13:10

the next thing i do is i actually put

play13:12

another compressor after this but this

play13:15

is a different style so we used the 76

play13:18

compressor now i'm going to use cla2a so

play13:21

this is an optical style compressor

play13:23

basically it just is a lot slower

play13:26

when it reacts to a signal so

play13:29

this is going to help create a more

play13:31

dynamic performance that just makes the

play13:33

vocal more interesting it also helps to

play13:36

kind of glue it together in my opinion

play13:38

so let's let's dial this one in

play13:41

a lock i've been stuck in this rod for

play13:43

so long

play13:45

and i'm afraid to make a change

play13:48

from this life that i'm used to

play13:51

but i know so it's getting a little bit

play13:52

too compressed so let me uh back this

play13:54

off a little bit alone like i've been

play13:57

stuck in this rod for so long

play14:00

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play14:03

this life that i'm used to

play14:06

but i know

play14:07

without a goal

play14:09

that feels right to me i usually don't

play14:11

do too much compression with with this

play14:13

one this one's just there like i said

play14:15

it's like an insurance policy okay

play14:18

um at this point

play14:19

now i have an eq here just in case

play14:22

there's anything

play14:23

that might be harsh that's making its

play14:25

way through so we can do a little bit of

play14:27

cutting but for right now i think we're

play14:28

okay i don't think we really need to use

play14:30

this at all

play14:31

now at this point i always like to put a

play14:33

de-esser here just in case

play14:36

something

play14:37

sneaks through one of the things that

play14:39

drives me crazy listening to music is if

play14:41

you have a really sibilant vocal

play14:43

and all you need to fix that is a

play14:45

de-esser and waves makes a great one and

play14:47

it's just called de-esser it's

play14:50

you can't get more simple than that

play14:52

right all right so let's just uh dial

play14:54

this in and make sure that it's catching

play14:55

any of the annoying frequencies

play14:58

like i've been stuck in this rod for so

play15:00

long

play15:01

and if you really want to dial in

play15:04

uh the right frequency for this plug-in

play15:06

you can go to the side chain monitor

play15:08

button here

play15:09

and now you're only going to hear the

play15:10

frequencies that it's listening to to

play15:12

attenuate

play15:19

right so actually

play15:21

down here is kind of where those

play15:22

frequencies sound the most harsh

play15:30

cool so let's let's go back to this

play15:32

audio monitor button and now we'll just

play15:34

pull this fader down so it makes the

play15:36

vocal a little bit easier to

play15:39

this rod for hear long

play15:41

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play15:45

this life that i'm used to

play15:47

but i know if this attenuate

play15:50

light is flashing all the time you

play15:52

probably have your threshold set too low

play15:54

okay this should only be jumping in when

play15:57

the vocals get too bright but i know

play16:00

without a goal

play16:02

i'm just wasting time

play16:04

wasting away

play16:05

another day

play16:08

i feel so alone like i've been stuck in

play16:11

this rod for so long i actually like it

play16:13

better with this opened up this filter

play16:15

open now we have one more thing and this

play16:17

might be something you're like whoa whoa

play16:20

what are you doing but hear me out okay

play16:23

i always put a limiter at the very end

play16:26

yeah i know people like why a limiter

play16:28

you already put three compressors on the

play16:30

vocals why do you need a limiter

play16:32

aren't limiters for mastering well maybe

play16:36

but they also sound good on vocals okay

play16:39

in the big picture of mixing a song we

play16:42

have to have control over each of the

play16:44

different elements otherwise you can

play16:45

spend all day volume writing everything

play16:48

to make all the pieces fit together so

play16:51

if you can really control the

play16:52

performance of the vocal then you don't

play16:55

have to do like any automation the song

play16:57

basically just works okay

play17:00

so i always tend to put a limiter

play17:03

after at the end of my vocal chain

play17:05

just to make sure make absolutely sure

play17:08

that nothing is going to sneak by

play17:11

and make a tiny moment way too loud in

play17:15

the track i'm literally just using waze

play17:17

l1 it's like the

play17:19

oldest plug-in they've ever had probably

play17:22

and

play17:23

i'm just gonna bring it down and just

play17:25

basically brick wall it at the point

play17:27

where it just barely is touching it okay

play17:30

so let's do that

play17:33

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play17:36

this life that i'm used to

play17:38

but i know

play17:40

without a goal so you can see the

play17:42

breaths are actually super loud

play17:50

and i'm afraid to make a change let's

play17:53

see how this barely is blinking it's

play17:55

only on very certain moments

play17:58

from this life that i'm used to

play18:01

but i know

play18:02

without

play18:03

so there you have it okay let's hear

play18:05

what it sounds like before and then

play18:07

after the vocal chain rod for so long

play18:11

and i'm afraid to make a change

play18:14

from this life that i'm used to

play18:17

but i know

play18:18

without a goal

play18:20

i'm just wasting time

play18:22

wasting away

play18:24

another day

play18:26

i feel so alone

play18:28

like i've been stuck in this rut for so

play18:30

long

play18:32

and i'm afraid to make a change from

play18:35

this life that i'm used to

play18:38

but i know

play18:39

without a goal i think you can hear it

play18:43

instantly turned a

play18:44

boring dull vocal that was recorded

play18:47

probably with a dynamic mic into

play18:49

something that sounds modern and bright

play18:52

and airy that we're used to hearing so

play18:54

the only thing left to do at this point

play18:55

is basically just to add your effects

play18:57

okay so your reverbs delays all that

play19:00

stuff i've already taken up a ton of

play19:02

your time so i'm gonna save that for

play19:03

another video

play19:05

but just to give you a little uh a taste

play19:08

well i'll give you a little tiny taste

play19:10

here

play19:11

[Music]

play19:18

play19:24

amazing i can just literally load up

play19:26

that and no matter what performer what

play19:29

singer what microphone what preamp they

play19:32

used this this chain always works so

play19:39

are you going to use for your mixing

play19:40

workflow let me know in the comments i
