An excerpt from MIX LIKE ME — Volume 02: R&B Vocals.
I didn't learn vocal mixing from a school. I learned it the same way most of us do—by spending hundreds of hours in front of FL Studio, making bad mixes, comparing them to songs I loved, and slowly figuring out what I was doing wrong.
I won't give you a list of settings to copy. Every voice is different, every song is different, and copying settings without understanding them is how you end up with mixes that sound "almost right" but never quite there. Instead, I'll give you the thinking behind every decision—so you can adapt, adjust, and make it your own.
