Vocal Production Techniques: Editing and Mixing in Studio One

- [Instructor] Hi, I'm Scott Hirsch. I'll be your author and guide for Vocal Production Techniques: Editing and Mixing in PreSonus Studio One. 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. And that's what this second course in the Vocal Production Techniques series is all about, editing and mixing vocals. (vocal music) Along the way I'll show you how to make a compilation edit, or comp, 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. (musical tones) as well as how to seamlessly tune your vocals with Antares Auto-Tune 8. (vocal music) 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 multi-band compression. I'll show you how to craft wild vocal-based soundscapes using production tools like iZotope Stutter Edit.

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. (vocal music) So let's get started with Vocal Production Techniques: Editing and Mixing in PreSonus Studio One.
