Is it magic?? Kinda!

MIXING PATRICK STUMP / FALL OUT BOY VOCALS w/ Sean O’Keefe

Sean O’Keefe mixes Patrick Stump’s vocals using the raw multi-tracks for “Lake Effect Kid” by Fall Out Boy from their 2018 EP of the same name.

Sean’s years of experience show in that he doesn’t make it harder than it needs to be, and doesn’t let himself fall prey to mixing dogma: he relies on the Waves CLA Vocals plugin for a lot of the processing, along with Soothe, Waves L1, and the Waves SSL E Channel strip.

Mixing massive AMARANTHE vocal stacks w/ Jacob Hansen

These vocals are yuge!

MIXING MASSIVE AMARANTHE VOCAL STACKS w/ Jacob Hansen

Jacob Hansen shows how to mix powerful female metal vocals in this clip from Nail The Mix, using the raw multi-tracks for “365” by Amaranthe.

This song has a LOT of vocals: dozens of tracks from their female vocalist Elize Ryd and male vocalists Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson and Nils Molin, so it’s all about making precise moves to manage this massive session.

Jacob Hansen uses some basic EQ, compression, Mod Delay III, a Lexicon Reverb plugin and some smart routing to make it all come together into huge, powerful, in your face metal vocals.

Dialing in br00tal death metal vocals w/ Kristian Kohle and Aborted

I LIKE SHREDDED WHEAT

Mixing death metal vocals is (pun intended) brutal! Getting them to cut through the insanely dense mix isn’t easy, but Kohle shows how he does it with his complete vocal chain for “Vespertine Decay” by Aborted from their album “TerrorVision.”

Mixing JONNY CRAIG vocals w/ Erik Ron!

There’s a first time for everything

Erik Ron talks about working with Jonny Craig for the first time on “I’d Rather See Your Star Explode” by Slaves, and goes over his signal chain and process for mixing.

Mixing JONNY CRAIG vocals w/ Erik Ron – Slaves “I’d Rather See Your Star Explode”

Erik Ron talks about working with Jonny Craig for the first time on “I’d Rather See Your Star Explode” by Slaves, and goes over his signal chain and process for mixing.

In particular, take note of what he says at the beginning about why he DOESN’T do doubles for everything. Remember that the point of all this is to make great music that moves people, and there are no rules other than “if it sounds good, it is good,” and slavishly following a signal chain isn’t always a recipe for success.
