Want to Mix PRO Vocals in GarageBand? [GarageBand Tutorial]
This video is a complete tutorial on how to mix vocals in GarageBand.
In it, you'll learn how to apply GarageBand effects like compression, EQ, Pitch correction, reverb and more to your vocal tracks which will result in your recordings sounding clear and professional.
There are no set in stone rules when it comes to putting together a great sounding vocal mix, but here are a couple of pointers that have really helped keep me on the right track when mixing vocals in own GarageBand for Mac projects and might help you improve yours too…

I've been recording for decades and this was refreshing to watch and a great reminder. We sometimes fall into ruts or "Signature Sound" as some prefer to call it LOL. It is always good to listen with someone else's ears. Great tips Patrick!

One thing I've learned recently that's very useful if one is going to pan vocal tracks, most commonly backing vocals. Lot of the effects produce stereo output so when you pan those tracks particularly to or close to full left or right you only end up with the left or right of the effect. In that situation what works well is using Direction Mixer from Imaging in the plugins selection to make the whole track with effects completely or close to mono.

Appreciate what you do, Patrick! You are a wealth of information in a realm I knew virtually nothing about...recording music and on a DAW, no less. I took a chance buying a Mac with Garageband, opened it up and thought I was staring at the middle section of a calculus text. But with tutorials like yours, made what felt impossible to me all the more possible! THANKS for sharing your knowledge!!

Really comprehensive for a 15 minute tutorial, and not at all complicated for a person who has seen GarageBand before. My vocal tracks universally stink like year old cod (largely because I'm not a vocalist) but I bet I could make them stink a lot less with a judicious application of your advice. Thanks.

You forget to mention the most important part.. TURN ON THE MONO WHEN MIXING MAIN VOCALS and then you can use stereo for left and right side when doing panning

@TheGaragebandGuide 3 жыл бұрын

I’d recommend recording all vocals in mono anyway, regardless of whether they’re main or backing vocals.

Great tutorial as always. Simple yet powerful tips regarding vocals. One more thing: the recording source must be really good (I mean the vocal recording on its own has to sound good in the mix even when it’s raw, otherwise a mix won’t fix a bad recording or performance)

Thank you, Patrick extremely helpful as always. Might I add if using a dynamic microphone to use a mic preamp. I use an art studio V3 I was fortunate enough to find at a guitar center store in Texas.😉 It adds more punch and allows you to keep the input level down on the interface.
