How to Mix Your Vocals in FL Studio 20 (Like a Professional)

So, you need your vocals professionally mixed. Luckily for you, I have a good amount of experience in vocal mixing. A lot of experience actually. What’s up geniuses? My name is Adriel Rivera and welcome back to the channel where you learn to show your genius. Today I’m going to be showing you how to mix your vocals in FL Studio 20.

1. Record a good vocal
- No reverb
- Gain is set right (No Clipping)
- Decent Microphone

2. Pitch Correction
- Pitch correction makes your vocal sound 10x more professional because it’s more pleasing to hear
- Use Newtone
- Center completely
- No variation to make it easier
- Bring back variation after you’ve corrected everything
- Minor adjustments in variation for certain parts

3. Compression
- Compression takes the loud and quiet parts of your vocal and brings them closer together in volume to reduce the dynamic range.
- Threshold in simple terms: Where the compression starts
- Ratio in simple terms: How much compression is being applied. X:1 every xdb is converted to 1db
- Knee in simple terms: The gradualness of the compression. Smooths out where the compression starts to get a more “natural” sound
- Attack in simple terms: How long it takes for the compression to start
- Release in simple terms: How long it takes for the compression to finish
- Industry Standard Vocal Compression ratio is about 2:1 but you wanna mess around with what might sound better. I noticed rap vocals tend to compress at a little higher of a ratio (3:1)
- Shorter release gives it a more commercial vocal sound. By this I mean what you’re used to hearing on the radio.

4. EQ
- Changes the volume of certain frequencies to accentuate what sounds good in your voice or whatever it is you’re EQ-ing.
- Probably where most people go wrong. You don’t need to over-do EQ. It's all about understanding what EQ does, to figure out where you need to apply it
- You don’t need to use every band of an EQ. I used to go crazy with my EQ, but now I’ve learned that with my vocals less is more.
- Remove low end because its unnecessary
- Clear muddy and nasally frequencies
- Boost high end for more shimmer if your voice will benefit from it

5. De-esser
- Removes harsh “S” sounds in your vocal
- More pleasant listening experience

6. Get creative with reverb & delay
- Add your own flare. Some people like to use minimal effects, some people go crazy
