Pro Tools provides an easy-to-use plugin called EQ3 7-Band.<\/p>\n<p>When we&#8217;re using EQ, we&#8217;re typically either boosting or cutting frequencies. Cutting helps us fix problems, like too much low-end, in order for something to sound better. Boosting tends to make things sound &#8220;different,&#8221; in that you can boost the highs of a vocal to make it brighter and more present.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/pro-tools-beat-detective\/\">Pro Tools Beat Detective Explained (5 Steps to Tighten Up Your Tracks)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A good place to start is with a simple high-pass filter. Vocals typically don&#8217;t need a ton of low, low-end, because other instruments in the mix handle that. But we also normally don&#8217;t want them to sound too thin, so don&#8217;t cut too high; pay attention to the 200 to 400 Hz area where both muddiness and body live.<\/p>\n<p>Every voice and every mix is different, so feel free to boost and cut to your heart&#8217;s content while you figure out what you like the sound of. Also, don&#8217;t be afraid to load up a plugin preset as a reference. It might not work exactly for your material, but it can give you ideas of where to go.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

Compression is a dynamics processor that helps even out a recording so there aren&#8217;t any wild fluctuations in volume. If we&#8217;ve done our due diligence with automation, we&#8217;re going to help our compressor out a lot. If you try to push one compressor too hard, it can result in some unwanted sounds like &#8220;pumping,&#8221; where it&#8217;s noticeable that the effect is working hard.<\/p>\n<p>Another consideration is what&#8217;s called serial compression. Most engineers will have multiple compressors each doing a little bit of gain reduction versus one compressor doing a lot. Again, this is to help the effect sound as natural as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Pro Tools offers a stock compressor called Dyn3 Compressor\/Limiter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/how-to-sidechain-in-logic-pro\/\">How To Sidechain In Logic Pro X (Step-by-Step Guide)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Organize Your Signal Flow<\/h3>\n<p>The basic signal path in Pro Tools goes from the waveform, through the inserts, to the fader, and finally to the pan pot. The waveform&#8217;s output directly affects the input of your first insert; the output of the first insert affects the input of the next, and so on, before the signal even reaches the fader.<\/p>\n<p>Good gain staging means managing various input\/output levels, but it also means taking into account the order of our inserts (plugins). For example, while there&#8217;s no right or wrong way to do it, there are different schools of thought for placing an EQ before or after a compressor. If you EQ before compressing, you can high-pass excess low-end so it doesn&#8217;t hit the compressor too hard. If you&#8217;ve done any high-end boosting, however, the compressor might emphasize it even more.<\/p>\n<p>Food for thought and hands-on experimentation!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Add Effects Sends\/Returns for Reverb\/Delay<\/h3>\n<p>Another critical component of a mixed vocal is the space in which it &#8220;lives.&#8221; We add this by using time-based effects like reverb and delay to give our vocals dimension and depth. Start by creating an auxiliary return channel in Pro Tools and selecting its input. Load up a stock Pro Tools plugin, such as D-Verb.<\/p>\n<p>From your vocal track, choose the input of your auxiliary return under the Sends area. When you click on the send, a fader will open up allowing you &#8220;blend&#8221; the right amount of reverb with the dry vocal. Repeat the process for delays, additional reverbs, or any other effects you&#8217;d like to run in parallel with your dry vocal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/pro-tools-heat\/\">Pro Tools HEAT: Adding Analog Warmth to Your Audio<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When Mixing Vocals in Pro Tools, Try to Keep It Simple (But Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Experiment)<\/h2>\n<p>Mixing can be a lot of fun, and part of that comes with lots of experimentation.
