Tips for Mixing Vocals to an Instrumental
as well as a few videos on youtube and im kind of getting the picture but im still kind of in the dark.
my first question is in some tracks such as carmada's maybe (off the top of my head) has vocals that seem to be an octave apart but playing at the same time, i always thought to achieve a chorus effect one would take one vocal track and nudge it a few ms in front of the other and pan one slightly left and one slightly right. this however apparently causes pphasing issues which is another thing despite reserarching im still a littler foggy on.
my next question is finding space on the frequency range for stuff to cut through. i have a real hard time getting my leads to cut through the mix, despite boosting at around 3-4k cutting the lows and then notching this frequency out of the bass line and midrange pads. in some songs i can also hear two distinct leads playing at the same time that dont seem to clash, i dont know maybe theyre boosted and notched with a small q level at two separate frequencies
