When you do, the answers will present themselves more and more clearly. The more apt question is, “what does it mean to fit the vocal into this mix?” You’ll want to make it a habit to ask yourself this question every time. These are a series of maddening questions that can easily drive you insane. Phrases like “fit your vocal into the mix” are thrown around with great abandon on the internet, but what do they actually mean? Is it a matter of adjusting the EQ to fit the arrangement and mask recording imperfections? Is it paying attention to the level of the vocal each step of the way? Is it gain-staging, adding effects, and embellishing the vocal with clever edits? Ask yourself the following: what does it mean to fit the vocal into a mix? of course I already knew it wouldn't work very well even before I attempted it, but it seemed like a fun thing to try since it only takes about 2 seconds to phase invert one of the tracks.1. Well, surprise surprise! It didn't work very well worth a damn. While I was doing this, I thought to myself "while I am doing this, I might as well try to phase invert the music mix, and mix it with the "music+VO" mix to see how well I could isolate the VO. So, I decided to lay a copy of the music on top of the "music+VO" mix to bring the level up (with hopefully no phasing). If i had a copy of the final VO by itself, I could simply mix the VO is exactly how I want it, but unfortunately, I don't have the final VO in this case. I wanted to bring the level of the music up, so you could hear it better for my reel. They mixed the music really low in the on-air VO ("VO" = "voiceover") mix. I have a "real-life" example of this that just happened yesterday.Ī song of mine was licensed for use in a TV commercial.
