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

“I use the Renaissance Vox gate on all of my drums for articulation. The gate is forgiving and helps when I’m looking to get the most out of my kicks and snares.”

Leslie Brathwaite Mix Engineer, Producer

Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams, Cardi B

“I use R-Vox on a very large percentage of my mixes, usually as part of my vocal buss. It helps me shape presence and dominance in the lead vocal. I love this thing!”

Mojam Producers, Songwriters, Recording & Mixing Engineers

“We use R-Vox in our vocal chains if we want a singer to jump out in the mix. It’s also perfect during tracking because it’s so easy to use. A little touch goes a long way.”

Ethan Mates Recording & Mixing Engineer

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

“R-Vox has been an indispensable part of my vocal chain for years. Transparent and fast, I use a small amount to tighten things up before applying any other coloration or EQ. Incredible time saver.”

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.”

Ott Composer, Producer, Engineer, Mixer, Remixer, Sound Designer, DJ, Live Performer

“Renaissance Vox is the nearest thing to genuine magic rendered in software. It doesn’t matter how many top-notch, esoteric compressors I have in the rack, R-Vox will do most of the heavy-lifting on my vocal tracks. Works great on drums too.”

Gabriel Fajardo FOH & Monitor Engineer

Nicky Jam, Farruko, Soulfire, Sebastian Yatra

“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.”
