12 Essential Steps to Mixing Lead Vocals

Follow these 12 steps to transform raw vocal tracks into a performance that is finished with polish and sheen. Make sure you’re not missing out on anything in your vocal mixing process, from editing to adding EQ and compression.

Mark Ronson Producer, DJ, Recording Artist

Amy Winehouse, Jay-Z, Adele, Bruno Mars

“The Renaissance plugins have been my bread and butter since I ran my first sessions in Pro Tools in 2000. Renaissance EQ and Renaissance Vox are engraved in me like muscle memory. They’re great, they don’t take up a load of my CPU, and I can use them quickly and move along with what I’m doing.”

Focus... Producer, Composer

Dr. Dre, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem

Ethan Mates Recording & Mixing Engineer

Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black-Eyed Peas, Die Antword

Eric Silver Producer, Musician, Artist, Writer

Donna Summer, Shania Twain, Dixie Chicks, Keith Urban

“You’ll find an R-Vox on virtually every vocal track in my session. I adjust the comp attenuation until the vocal sits still in the mix in a comfortable place, then move on.”

Carlos Paucar Producer, Recording & Mixing Engineer

Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Chris Brown, Jewel

“I use this on everything, not just vocals. I love the fact that I can expand or compress and be plenty aggressive or light with it.”

KSHMR Producer, DJ, Songwriter

Tiesto, Snoop Dogg, David Guetta

Gabriel Fajardo FOH & Monitor Engineer

Nicky Jam, Farruko, Soulfire, Sebastian Yatra

Mike Flannery Producer, Songwriter, Recording Artist

Mr. Flannery and His Feelings, Little-T and One Track Mike, Flannery Brothers

“Renaissance Vox is a useful tool for my vocals. I want tools that are simple and easy to use: I want to be fast with adjustments so I can focus on my mix. With Renaissance Vox, I can control my vocals easily and have them on the spot with just a few knobs. And like all Waves Renaissance compressors, it’s very smooth: even with hard compression, you don’t hear the comp.”
