➡️➡️Click here to learn more about how Darrell Thorp fixes harsh vocals: producelikeapro.com/blog/fixi...
Darrell is an incredibly producer, mixer, recording engineer, and nine-time Grammy-winner, who has had the opportunity to work with many acclaimed artists throughout his career. He has worked with Paul McCartney, Radiohead, Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Beck, Nigel Godrich, and many more.
Today, he is going to show us some of the techniques he uses to smooth out harsh vocals!
To smooth out harsh vocals, Darrell uses multi-band compression. There are several plugins available that offer multi-band compression, so there is one for everyone, no matter what kind of sound you want! One of Darrell’s personal favorites is the Oeksound Soothe, but try a few out and find the one that works best for you!
To smooth out vocals, Darrell opens up his plugin of choice, and starts to look for the high peaks that he can visually see would be causing problems. He listens to the track and compresses where he needs to in order to smooth out the vocal the way he wants to. Watch the video below to see exactly how he does this!
In addition to using these techniques on vocals, Darrell applies them to electric guitars, acoustic guitars, piano, cymbals, and more. He has found all kinds of applications where things are extremely brittle and harsh, and need to be thickened up with plugins in order to give them some more life and not be so pointy.

Actually I use very similar techniques, first I EQ, if EQ does not solve the problem I try dynamic EQ, if it does not work, then multiband compressor, but now I also own soothe, so that is my last resort :) Actually saturation can also remove some harshness too, I learned that from you Warren :)

Really nice video, thank u so much for this knowledge. I usually like to start with Sonnox Dynamic Eq, then i try some subtle compression with CL1B Mk2 looking for warmth, and finally use Decapitator for thickness. De-essing process to me is the final step, and it depends to the final result after Decapitator. By the way, in the parallel comp moment, i like to use CLA-76 waves's black or white rev. depending to the context, . This whole process really works to me.

I wonder if he used the 1073 driven hard going into the Rev. A 1176 if he would need to use so much multi band compression/dynamic EQ. I learned from CLA that driving the frequencies that sound good into a Rev. A 1176 set at Input: 30, Output: 18, Attack: 3, and Release: 7 at either 4 or 8 as the Ratio it tames alot of the harsh frequencies and even deesses for you while adding excitement to the vocal. Idk if that works just with SSL EQs into a Rev. A or it its universal. I havent tried it since the SSL into 1176 works so well. It might be a fun thing to experiment with

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Thank you. She has quite a strong and harsh voice. (Perhaps I chose the wrong mic...) I encourage you guys who view this to look at it as a guide to follow along to with your own project. Lucky me the singer I recorded sounded quite similar to the artists in this video.

My fight against harshness is that I tend to use mics that are not as "modern". I've also added notch filters to most of my LDC that cut the problematic freq in each mic to get a smoother response. Everything you can do post is always good but I don't rely on that because I might not be mixing it.

It's a bit complicated to explain cuz the history of gear. See, when all of this analog era was getting bigger and bigger one thing happened to gear. If you think about it recording to tape have the tendency of create dark aka "fat "tracks. When tape came along it brought other problems like hiss noise. The trick was record everything with exaggerated amounts of high frequency and later on playback reduce the same amount. A process known as emphasis and de emphasis. I think. So what happened? Well, Cymbals companies, microphones companies and amp companies started to introduce this high frequency on lots of the new gear. Then it came the digital era. When ppl stared turning audio into 1s and 0s what you think they found out?...a horrible mess of high frequencies. This is where the say "digital is harsh" came out. The reality is Digital is not harsh rather honest. So to answer your question... Back in the days harshness was not a real problem cuz tape used to tame this annoying freq. Now that we have digital it became an issue. That's why ppl love more the tape sound. Warren correct me if I'm wrong. Please 😬

i think you should play in context of track. imo for alotta beginners i think its important. i understand cause i mixed around 30 songs so far but if i wouldve watched this before i ever mixed i wouldnt of understood this in the context of the mix. squeezed dynamics are good but i think it makes more sense in the context. ive actually used 3 compressors back to back to back and it doesnt sound lifeless. but it all has to do with song your mixing vocals and how dynamic the vocals are. also when a track is in solo compared to in the context, i think people are being taught bad habits when it comes to mixing if what i said makes sense. imo

For some weird reason Soothe always sounds a little unnatural to me... It's almost too perfect? I don't mind a tiny bit of harshness here and there, but Soothe seems to eliminate it completely. Very heavy-handed tool wich obviously have it's use, but it's one of those things that can ruin your mix when overused (such as Ozone, Neutron etc.) I've fallen into this trap many times and my mixes still suck partly because of this.

Question: Am I the only one who hears that 850 hz dominating the whole recording in the lasting tones? I would work on this in the first place. All the 2500 Hz treatment is just... mh... ok... I dont really hear a problem there... what do you think?

Might be your monitoring, are you using Adams monitors? With the exception of the A7X they all tend to have additional low mids and mids.

don't see the point to mix vocal in solo... What could sound harsh in solo, could fit really well in the mix.

Hi Ct Ld, when teaching, especially for beginners it is important to demonstrate in Solo so they hear the changes, however subtle.

Ok. Then I use multiband around 3.8k. Getting better. Compress before EQ. Another multiband. Let’s try soothe just for shnitz and schmiggles. Wait for it. Wait for it... Soothe wins!

First plug in was a Multiband Compressor, second was EQ, third was De-esser (single band Compressor) 4th was EQ, 5th Compression, then another compression. So oder was Compression 1st, then EQ, then Compression into EQ etc. Sorry if it's not clear to you that a Multiband compressor is frequency controlled compressor and that a De-Esser is also a frequency controllable compressor.

@@Producelikeapro I did not get the impression, within the context of the video, that you were talking about multiband compression and de-essing when you pulled out the 1176 and said " I like to compress before I EQ." I see those more as EQ tools. Anyway, not here to nitpick I just thought it was funny. The channel is awesome. Thanks for the vid.

Don't like her voice. However it would have been nice to hear it i context of the mix also. Great video Great to see that not all top mixer get the best sounding tracks. What I found from listening to som CLA stuff is that the tracks he gets usually sound really good from the get go. I'd love to see tutorials with the top guys mixing a song with the really shitty tracks normal people often get. Instead of just wanking over top recorded tracks from top recording studios in their tutorials!
