I got some advice from H2H on duplicating the vocal track, compressing it heavily around 12 db adding eq between 8-16k, boosting at about 7db to start then de-essing to take away any harshness. I am not achieving what I am supposed to with this good advice. The sound is still kind of harsh when I bring the levels of the second track back into the mix. It does not sound like a phasing problem. One thing I did was after compressing heavily I boosted the make- up gain to bring the level up. Was this a mistake? Or should I have left the signal alonewhere it sounded very quiet.
I was experimenting with all different eq freq's and boosting levels with no luck. It was not bringing the vocals forward just sounding kind of harsh when I blended the hyped track back in.
About the first original track. I'm sure I should be compressing it, which is what I have been doing. Along with adding make-up gain. Would this have been a mistake. So if you are working with a thinner voice should you stick with a lower freq. band say around 4-7k which is the type of voice I am recording at this moment (female)
Maybe my combined entire signal is too hot eventhough it does not show it on the meters. A little frustrated.
Any advice from H2H or those who have had success with this tip would be appreciated.
