🔥 Mixing Lesson: Taming Harsh Vocals 🔥
Every engineer runs into the same issue from time to time: harsh vocal frequencies. Here’s a trick curtis_sircut_bye used on a YG record:
1️⃣ Use Pro-Q3 to visualize & pinpoint the problem spots.
2️⃣ Duplicate the signal (or send to an aux).
3️⃣ Run it through Decapitator, tone pulled all the way down, color set to Darkest.
4️⃣ Blend it back in parallel — harshness gone, vibe intact.
