Description: Once you’ve prepared your background vocals, it’s time to mix them. Join Fab Dupont as you learn how to manage singer-mic distance, solve masking issues, position background vocals in the foreground or background of the mix without touching the faders, properly position them in the stereo field to create a more cohesive sound, and expand them with effects and a few tricks.
You’ve prepared your background vocals the right way, now it’s time to mix them.
Background vocals are one of the hardest things to get right: in addition to make sure they don’t ruin your mix, there are some famous tricks that are present more or less in any production. Professional have been using them for years and most of the records you love probably contain some of these treatment methods.
Join Fab Dupont in an in-depth explanation of these methods and techniques: you will learn to manage the distance of the singer from the microphone, understand masking problems, get the background vocals to sit more in front or in the back of your mix without touching the volume fader, decide their stereo placement to improve their cohesion and enhance them with pitch tricks and other effects.
