Mix Energetic, In-Your Face Rock Vocals
Making Vocals sit well in a Rock mix has always been a challenge.

So what’s the solution?
Stacking multiple layers of processing!
In this course, Marc shows you how to use a combination of compression, saturation, EQ, and effects to make your vocals cut through a dense mix, and add space, expressiveness and power – without ever sounding harsh.

Final Tweaks & Automation.
These two steps are the key to taking your mixes from good to outstanding!
