About the Course

This course addresses recorded vocal performances and the technologies used to highlight and support them in modern record production and mixes. Most of us know that vocals serve as the focal point of modern recordings but many do not know the tools used or when the tools are used best in modern record production. The course begins with simple vocal placement in a mix, where you will also learn the fundamentals of compression and equalization. You’ll further study delays and reverbs before moving to advanced concepts in audio editing, synthetic processing, automatic & graphic pitch correction, time compression, time expansion, flex and elastic audio. Through analysis and/or hands on projects that the students will post for peer review, the student will gain an understanding of the many choices available to modern record producers as they record and mix with a modern tool set. You’ll see, in action, the Vocoder, Auto-Tune, Melodyne, Elastic Audio, Flex Time, VocAlign, tempo based editing and a host of other file modification protocols that are readily available on most Digital Audio Workstations. This course gives students a thorough look at the expanded choices that have risen in the art of vocal production as a result of these modern tools. The goal of the course is to help interested novices understand the recordings they are listening to, performers find an expanded language for their recorded voices and for vocal producers to be able to create musically artistic visualizations using singers as their paintbrushes....

Very comprehensive course. As a music producer who has no background in vocal production, this really helped me out. I learned a couple of things that I didn't know of and now, I feel a little bit confident about my skills in mixing vocals.

This course will give you man y insights into how professionals handle vocals in studios. I wish there were more technical discussions. It reinforces the basics for people who know them and is easy to understand for people who don't

Es muy buen curso, solo le faltaría un poco mas de orientación en cuanto a que técnica emplear según el tipo de voz o veces que tengamos, según el género musical, etc. por lo demás es perfecto.
