Reasons for struggling with vocal track mixdown

〜“映像は目で観るもの”と思っていませんか？〜

Vocal tracks are the key to all quality for musicians who make songs. Even if the backtrack (Oke) looks cool just by using the DAW presets, there are many worries that the vocals do not match the image.

The reason why only vocal tracks do not match the image

1. 視聴者の離脱率が上がる

The main reason why vocals aren't exactly what you imagined , even if the finish is almost as good as a professional.

(1) In the first place, the recording of a song can be said to be the ultimate live instrument.

(1) The price difference between microphones and preamplifiers is so large that it will die.

② Recording environment is too different

③ There is a difference in engineer's technique & experience value

④ I have never thought about audio restoration (sound quality correction)

The quality difference of the analog part is remarkable

The quality of analog equipment is important for recording songs and acoustic instruments. Professionals generously use condenser mics and mic preamps that cost hundreds of thousands of yen. You can use plug-ins that are equivalent to professional effects, but the reality is that recording with high-end equipment is a very difficult task for amateurs.

Recently, there are plug-ins that emulate not only mic pres but also such high-end mics.

Still, if the quality of the original material is poor, there is nothing you can do about it.

I am sometimes asked to mix by users who request mastering and restoration (noise removal and voice restoration), and I often use preamps that emulate NEVE using UAD's Unison technology. However, even if the sound is made closer to the image, if the material itself is bad, the total quality will almost always be "reasonable".
