#audiomixing #izotope #vocalproduction
With each passing year that pop and hip-hop compete for airspace (often in the same song), the production considerations of each genre become increasingly similar. More and more artists both sing and rap their vocals—or they fall somewhere in between. To account for this genre mash-up, it’s important to think about aspects of pop vocal mixing alongside hip-hop and rap vocal best practices.
Follow along as we walk you through how to clean up your vocal prior to mixing, how to unmask your vocal from other elements, some best practices for mixing background vocals, and how to add in the appropriate effects processing—compression, EQ, saturation, delay, reverb, and more.
