How To Add Space, Depth and Width to a Vocal in 5 Minutes

When it comes to vocal production and adding vocal effects, the possibilities are endless. Depending on the genre, you’ll approach things in different ways, but adding depth, width, and space around a vocal will always help it sit better with the rest of the instruments in the mix.

In this video, we’re working on a jazzy singer/songwriter track called How To Say Goodbye by William Wyne.

Using three different spaces like this can really give a three-dimensional feeling to the vocal sound so I hope you find it useful for your next mix.

In less than five minutes I’ll show you how to create width with automatic double-tracking, depth with slap-back tape echo, and space with a plate reverb.

If you’re looking for more mixing tricks like this, I’m running a super short bundle promotion until tonight on Quick Mixing, Mastering and Editing With Stock Plug-ins AND Mixing With 5 Plug-ins.

Usually, the two courses are $159 together, but until midnight I’m giving those who couldn’t join us inside Mix Finisher Formula an exclusive payment plan of 4 monthly payments of $27, saving you $51 overall.

Grab the bundle here and get two of my most popular courses at a never-before-seen discount.

Here’s what Lance had to say about the mix walkthrough inside Mixing With 5 Plug-ins:

“I learned a lot on how to focus on the different stages in mixing, and the need to be constantly rebalancing the mix. The process helps one to know when the Mix is finished.”

And here’s what Gina said about the Mixing With EQ video:

“The workflow – group buses first, then individual tracks – and filters first – will really help me stay organized. I am in the midst of learning everything (including my DAW) at the same time, and have been falling into the trap of reaching for the first thing that hits my ears. I appreciate this methodical approach.”

You know my mixing training works because you’ve seen the testimonials, the released records, the student stories. You know mixing is something you want to get good at so I want to make sure you stop wasting time jumping from one Youtube video to another and give you an affordable way to learn the step by step process I’ve taught thousands of my students in the last ten years.

This offer will automatically vanish in about 14 hours so I’d recommend grabbing it now before it goes away.

If you couldn’t join Mix Finisher Formula during our launch because money was tight, this is my way of meeting you halfway with the bare-bones training that you need to get results.

Have a great weekend,

P.S.

I doubt I’ll offer this package again because not only do you get a payment plan, but you also get a discount. It’s usually one or the other so make sure to enroll now if you’d like to join two of my most popular courses.
