There are also several plugin emulations of iconic 1176. Moreover, it has a desirable sonic character revered by top music producers and engineers. It is a fast compressor, capable of taming sharp transients in the vocal. Turn it all the way down and then start riding it back up until it gives your vocal that nice halo you’re looking for.The UREI/Universal Audio 1176 is one of the most famous and widely used FET limiting amplifiers. Disclaimer, I haven’t tried this - You could copy the track, use a reverb with a wet / dry blend and just turn the dry signal all the way down so all you get is the reverb trails. I just thought of kind of a bootleg workaround if you don’t have the ability to use busses on your phone. Plate reverbs are what are used most commonly with vocals. As the reverb trails darken, your voice will appear to sit more on top of them without the trails getting in the way. Like someone stated before, it’s best to cut some highs off your reverb. It’s often done with a reverb bus, but if you have a mix or blend knob on your reverb plugin - you can use that in the same way pretty much. I’m old and do everything in logic X.Īnyways, only thing I wanted to say about reverb is that it works best in parallel (basically a copy of the track that is affected) so you can kind of “season” your vocals to taste. Reverb overall can sound amateurish if there’s too much, try turning it down a bit or reducing the decay time, a nice sound can also be achieved with subtle delay first, then subtle reverb on top of thatįirst of all I just want to say I’m stoked people can even do this kind of thing straight onto a phone. If you don’t have a de-esser on iOS garage band, a multi band compressor on only the high end would work, if neither, an EQ can help a bit, but don’t use a shelf, use a bell specifically where your s’s are poking up. If you can’t change the EQ of the reverb signal, you can maybe boost the high end of the vocals before sending it through the reverb, and then use another EQ to bring them back down after the reverb. When using reverb on vocals, especially in cases like this where the vocals are very prominent and there’s not a lot for them to hide behind, I like to turn down the high end on the reverb specifically so you don’t have those crispy reverb sounds cutting through the mix Your pitch correction is very noticeable, I would increase the response time, I find around 70-80 is where it starts to become less noticeable with a decent performance, at least on logic with the built in pitch correction plugin (I can only assume they use the same one in garage band) I notice your compressor attack time is pretty fast, increasing it to 20+ will give your vocals more punch by letting the attack push through a bit more before compression kicks in, other than that it’s mostly gonna be your EQ, which I can’t help you much with here as I’m listening on my phone speakers hahaĮdit: after listening a bit more, a few more tips: But I hope this is somewhat helpful, seen some of your stuff and you're doing great! If you ever need a producer or songwriters or even a quick vocal mix, let me know! I would love to collaborate. I usually use other plugins for special sauce and to use as my style and flavor depending on the track I'm working on. (If these can't be sends but inserts don't have them at 100%)Īnd that's pretty much there is to it.
Short Reverb, Long Reverb, Short Delay, Long Delay. Get rid of muddiness (200hz to 500hz, don't cut too much or you'll make them too thin. To control those plosives, and S soundsĮQ again. (I normally do parallel compression, which is basically having different compressors back to back with the first one at 75% mix, each shaving off about 3db.)ĭe-esser. Subtractive EQ (roll of Lows ~100hz) depends on your mic and voiceĬompression, usually a 4:1 Ratio with about 3-5db of reduction. Tuning (could be autotune, Melodyne, Logic's Tuner) You might not have access to all plugins to do this on an iPhone but you can get an idea. Vocal Chains usually vary in amount of plugins but here is mine. So Vocal production takes some time to master, and to have a great vocal mix on GarageBand iOS might be a little difficult but not impossible.
