Here's a super simple vocal widening technique that you can use in any mix - from hardcore and metal to pop, country and everything in between.
In this video I demonstrate this technique using a stock Pro Tools plugin or a paid plugin that makes things even easier.

ReaPitch and ReaEQ for Reaper. How something so simple, so easy to teach, can make wonders to our mixes. Thanks for sharing. This tip is so good ;)

Thank you for this video, Jordan! This information completely transformed the mix that I'm currently working on! I happened to have the SoundToys Effect Rack 4, so it was a matter of, "Oh, this is what this tool is used for!"

Man, welldone..you are valuable, specific and accurate!!no many words and the best tips!!A question..how can I make my rhythm guitars (metal-metacore) huge? I have a kemper and I can't make guitars sound huge, clean and tasty. I use very good profiles but my problem is in the mix!!

@wongsanggar 5 жыл бұрын

It's similar with Warren Huart's vocal widening trick. Even he makes multiple layer delays and pitch shifting. Thanks to reveal it too!

@anotherchrisperry 5 жыл бұрын

SPL Vitalizer does a good job of something similar without the pitch/delay sound. Also a good vocal widening trick!

@Quant-Beat 2 жыл бұрын

It is funny that as soon as we see that you work in Pro Tools, we immediately believe you have at least a decade of experience and works with real musicians. Not always the case, but sure you have the skills on a real pro level.

Love this. Dead simple. Was this video inspired at all by iZotope releasing the Vocal Doubler plugin?

@hardcoremusicstudio 5 жыл бұрын

Nope, I actually had no idea!

@ThisIsMattyTrying 5 жыл бұрын

Hardcore Music Studio wow, good little coincidence then. It acts very similar to this method just with a single knob but I think your way allows more room for people to get creative and have full control.

does anyone know if there is a plugin like Pitch II for Reaper?

@robinflick5516 5 жыл бұрын

Yes! It's just called ReaPitch. You can change on just side with add shifter and panning them.

@danielwiebe2123 3 жыл бұрын

What does it sound like in mono. Seems like you must be creating all kinds of phase issues.

@JustinNathanielAdams 5 жыл бұрын

Does it matter if I use the CLA 76 "Stereo" on a mono track like a vocal? I compared the CLA 76 "Mono" vs "Stereo" on a vocal, and I couldn't tell any difference. It seems like it would only matter to make sure to use the "stereo" on a "stereo" track.

@mailman2310 5 жыл бұрын

It doesn't matter so long as you aren't changing panning information. That's usually the only differnece.

@justinfeldermusic 5 жыл бұрын

If you are sure that everything before the compressor is mono, you should probably pick the mono compressor instead. It will save cpu, but all in all no difference really.

@ElMoShApPiNeSs 5 жыл бұрын

Stereo versions of plugins use basically twice the CPU because they're affecting two channels.

I suppose this would be useful if you're mixing someone else's project, but a good double tracked VOX sounds way better

@sergedroban1819 5 жыл бұрын

Zach Lenzen not true it depends what your going for. This vocal in this mix was perfect for that technique if everything was doubled it would’ve taken away from his singing. Although doubling is great just depends on the song

@jabooky15 5 жыл бұрын

The CLA vocals plugin will do this for you also BUT it sounds like it has phase issues if you over due it

@mr.pizzaguy5434 5 жыл бұрын

Great plugin! But CLA-Vocals (And "Nectar-ish" plugins) should really only be used in quick-situations. As a professional, Its essential to know ALL the effects that are in your signal flow; for maximum control. CLA/Nectar disguise a lot of the effects in their presets; for the home engineer that should work well. But I think Jordan strives for more of a professional fanbase.
