From the course: Vocal Production Techniques: Editing and Mixing in Logic Pro

Welcome

- [Scott] Hi, I'm Scott Hirsch. I'll be your author and guide for Vocal Production Techniques: Editing and Mixing in Logic Pro 10. Once a vocal recording session is complete, there's a lot of work to be done. As a producer or engineer, you'll need to choose, edit, and compile all the vocal takes, and then create an exciting and evocative mix of the vocals with the other tracks to finish a song. That's what this second course in the Vocal Production Techniques series is all about, editing and mixing vocals. ♫ I will sing through my pain. - [Scott] Along the way, I'll show you how to make a compilation edit of all the best takes, while cleaning up breaths and other noises for a smooth sounding edit. We'll be exploring how to fabricate doubles and harmonies to add texture in post production using Melodyne as well as how to seamlessly tune your vocals with Antares Auto-Tune 8. ♫ I will sing through my pain - [Scott] We'll dive into vocal mixing techniques, where I'll show you how to sculpt vocal frequencies with EQ, and tame dynamic range with regular and multiband compression. I'll show you how to craft wild, vocal-based soundscapes, using processing tools like iZotope's Stutter Edit. ♫ I'm tired of dragging my pain - [Scott] We'll work with volume automation to give our lead vocal life, as well as effects automation to add motion to delay, reverb and modulation effects. ♫ Waiting for you to remember I'm yours - [Scott] Let's get started with Vocal Production Techniques: Editing and Mixing in Logic Pro 10.
