Eq Question for ITB Mixes

Killah_Trakz · 18th November 2005, 01:57 PM

Lets say on vocals like if artist A has lead, double, and 2 addlibs. Do you eq each vox (if it needs it) or do you group all vocals (artist A) to a group and use 1 over all eq 4 all vocals. Just asking?

a lot of times i will do both. On the individual channels, i will do a lot of subtractive EQing, getting rid of frequencies that are troublesome or not needed. Then i send all those, say for example all the verse vocals, to a subgroup where there will be some broader EQ applied, maybe boosting some lows for warmth and body or boosting some highs, that all depends.

If its a lead that's contained within one track (not split out for those who don't know how to breath) then I keep it seperate from the Ads. The ads are usually seperate also unless there are tons of them. After the 4 ads I might group. If I am doing a rough mix then I might put the lead and ads together and apply general processing on the aux only. Hooks and BGV's are always grouped and given overal compression, EQ, FX.

Ok im not a big fan of stock eq's direct from Cubase ( Or Nuendo<<< used @ a pro studio) But for my home use i wanna use some eq's thats not cpu taxing. I've demo'ed the urs which is some real good stuff, Any other suggestions.

UAD 1 & WAVES REN COMPS. These are all pretty good on vox's and tend to have more of a analouge sound. A free plug that's also good on Rap vox is Blockfish.
