Levelling out Different Vocal Takes FL Studio

Hello all,

I've been trying to figure how to equalize the volume of the vocals throughout an entire song. My issue is, you can tell where the tracks have been pieced together, because the volume and overall texture and tone changes. Does anyone know how to fix this problem manually or with a plugin?

The volume automation is your friend. Do not hesitate to use it to the syllab scale. Then a touch of compression can help to provide some cohesion to the final track. Do not expect a pro result with less work.

Thanks for the advice. So will the compression help to even out the tone & texture as well?

Compression can help for texture. But tone is the hardest problem to solve. Automating EQ is a long, long, long story...
 
Laurend is giving good advice.


Compression helps with bouncy levels. Maybe stage it with a fast compressor first, just doing a little. Then a slow compressor second, just doing a little. Automate volume for the rest of the volume differences.

Light doubling might mask some of the tonal differences, but there's not much you can do. Automating EQ for that sounds like a nightmare. Honestly, you're better off having the singer re-do the performance while focusing on staying still. Always at the same distance, same angle. A pop filter can really help struggling singers since it gives them a point to focus on that isn't the mic.

Optionally, set up a dummy mic for the singer to stay near-glued to, then track from the real mic positioned at the appropriate distance and where it sounds best.
