do my vocals sound good? i need mixing advice

[sage light]

the vocals seem a little too much out of the instrumental. they sound very punchy and sometimes some words are a little too low. try add some reverse/soft clipper to make them more powerfull

mmm okay i see thank you

[spiral hemlock]

like bernard said, subtly run it through a soft clipper to "glue" your vocals to the beat as shown here

[hardy pelican]

MMM wait this sounds so good bro

[hardy pelican]

dont got one yet lowk im making one pretty soon prob next week when i put the song out

dw ill get back to you on it ill try n put it out sooner fs

[spiral hemlock]

alr alr

btw

when uploading to streaming services, you p much want to hit 0db constantly, top is the audio from ur vid and the bottom is what i just sent

that's what a soft clipper can accomplish, just don't go overboard or it will sound too distorted

[hardy pelican]

bet i gotchy

i preciate it a lot too bro

[spiral hemlock]

np

[spiral hemlock]

did sum more to it so u can hear the beat

[hardy pelican]

what else u do to it cause it sound cool? also do i put the clipper on the mic insert or sum else

[spiral hemlock]

I used ozone 12, goated for quickly mastering

As for the soft clipper, just put it on the master so everything gets pushed into it

[hardy pelican]

aigh thanks almost done i think

jus gotta finish a few more bars and then ad libs

[spiral hemlock]

🔥

One more recommendation, watch for clipping in your vocals, it’s prominent when you say “rock” and “cool”

Idk exact timestamp cuz I’m on mobile rn

[hardy pelican]

oh yeah i see it rn

[spiral hemlock]

Do you have 2 takes for …I rock balenci…? Or is it one take?

[hardy pelican]

its jus one take

[spiral hemlock]

Hm ok

I guess it’s just going over 0db

I think a soft clipper on the master should fix it

But if it still clips after a soft clipper on the master, put a limiter at the end of your vocal chain with a fast attack and fast release

[hardy pelican]

this what i got rn jus gotta do the adlibs and mess with the clipper more i think and finish the part where i mumble at the end

[spiral hemlock]

Clipping seems to be gone which is good

Think you gotta push the soft clipper more, until you’re hitting 0db

ear hurts

[hardy pelican]

what headphones you using? cause it sounded pretty normal to me on my phone, airpods, headphones, speakers, car

[leaden vine]

I was on the phone and it sounded like that when the volume was full.

[spiral hemlock]

it is quite bass heavy

[hardy pelican]

@spiral hemlock i jus finished it but how do i make sure its at 0db

[spiral hemlock]

should be hitting 0db if you used some of those techniques

but the C track should be hitting 0

the green should be touching 0 constantly

i aint got fl so its hard for me to find good examples

[vital pelican]

too much autotune?
