Hello, I have just completed a couple of dance tunes and now I have put my vocal into it, it always seems seperate from the track Crying or Very sad

Has anyone got any tips, eq's or ideas on what is professionally done to create a good dance tune vocal sound?

duplicate the vocals, pan one copy hard left and the other hard right.

There is a nice EQ plugin where you can load in a CD track you are trying to get the sound of and it will apply the same EQ structure to your track, if I can find the name of it I will post it in this thread.

Another tip is to check the Sound on Sound website, they have tons of tips and tutorials for mixing, may be worth a look.

Cheers

Perfect. Answer.


It may not even need any flashy stuff. Perhaps just the basic sound of the Vocal (after EQ & Comp) is off. Or maybe even it's not the vocal, maybe it's *the music* that's not fitting it.

But regarding what's usually done to get the dance voc sound. Usually EQ (obviously), De-essing, good compression or limiting (Good here is key), and then time based FX like chorus/delay/reverb.

Here's a suggestion:

Create an FX Aux for the vocal, and stick a delay that is matched to tempo. Now slap a small amount of medium to short reverb on the delay. I hear this constantly.

Any audio recording and editing software will be of use. Suggests FlexiMusic Wave Editor . Play the tunes and record your voice in the software and using "Paste-Mix or Paste-Insert" command mix your voice with the tunes.
