Vocals That Sit
This course teaches a repeatable, diagnostic system for making vocals integrate seamlessly into any mix—regardless of genre or DAW. Rather than offering generic tips, we'll build a framework for identifying why a vocal isn't sitting (level, masking, or depth/space problems) and applying targeted solutions. You'll learn to create space for vocals in the instrumental itself, use dynamic frequency control that responds to the performance, build a vocal bus architecture with parallel processing, and automate with emotional intent so the vocal locks into the track across every section.
