THE ULTIMATE VOCAL MIXING GUIDE by Aubrey Whitfield
Better vocals. Faster decisions. Everything you need, right beside your DAW.
 
Mixing vocals can be one of the hardest parts of mixing a song. How much compression should you use? Where should you EQ? Which reverb works best? How do you control sibilance, create width or get delays to sit behind the lead vocal?
 
The Ultimate Vocal Mixing Guide puts the answers in one easy-to-use desktop or printable reference.
 
Designed by professional music producer and mix engineer Aubrey Whitfield, this high-resolution guide brings together the techniques, settings and starting points you need to create polished, modern vocals - without constantly searching through tutorials while you're mixing.
