Learn how to set up aux channels in Pro Tools, linking main vocals to an auxiliary bus, applying shared effects like de-essers and reverb, and routing for cohesive mixing.
Demonstrates mixing main vocals in pro tools using eq tricks (low pass filter, cutting low frequencies), presets, and compression to achieve a clean, balanced vocal that sits with the beat.
Balance main vocals by reducing mud around 300 Hz, apply reverb with 0.8–1.5 seconds decay, and use dry/wet mix, de-esser, limiter, and light compression for natural, clear vocals across systems.
Protect your ears with breaks and revisit mixes later, then mute the main vocals to hear the beat and route background vocals to a separate bus for balanced results.
Learn to shape ad libs and background vocals by routing to separate buses, stacking for texture, and using telephony eq and stock delays to complement the main vocals without clashing.
Master beat drops and tempo tricks in Pro Tools, including cutting beat sections, slow-down or speed-up, and tapping tempo with the T key to align drops.
Shape the master track with EQ, then use the L2 Ultra Maximizer to reach loud levels without clipping. Use de-esser, compressor, limiter, reverb, optional delay; reference tracks guide tone.
Learn the basics of Pro Tools by building a starter session with beat and vocal tracks, linking OCS, and applying de-esser, compressor, and reverb for a cohesive mix.
