Advanced Vocal Producing & Mixing Course

Service Description

The vocals are often the most important part of any song and requires a vast amount of attention and treatment from the producer to make those vocals sound clean, modern and tight. In fact, vocal production is a key part of the role of a music producer and is what can take your recordings to the next level. This 5 module, certified, online course will guide you through all of the essential approaches that producers and artists need to learn to master the craft of vocal production. You will delve into the often overlooked (yet absolutely essential) phases of “preproduction,” which will help ensure the easiest, quickest, and most successful recordings once your vocal session begins. The course will also explore your role during vocal recording sessions, including guiding and supporting your vocalist so you are able to capture a truly brilliant vocal performance. This will include an in-depth demonstration and analysis of vocal doubling, stacking and thickening, harmonies, and backing vocals. The course also focuses on post-production elements: advanced comping, tuning, alignment and timbre enhancement to create polished final vocal tracks. The course concludes with more advanced vocal mixing techniques where you will learn how mixing approaches such as parallel compression, tonal EQ, saturation, reverb and careful analog emulations can bring a vocal performance to life.
