on When Did I by Cestevens1783
Cool acoustic track
I felt the lack of compression but it doesnt matter, cuz the volume of the vocal line is ok and you didn't shout a lot in music
so GL

on Gravity by Fl4zh
Such a nice music to show your anger, or maybe an story
what I got from this music was something confusing
Is there any ends for making this music?

on Do I Have To Dave by ImDangerous
Thats a great track
Ofcourse one of the best vocal mastering that I heard in this genre.
so congratulation, your track is great
but in my opinion:
1.in 0:46 the incoming arpeggio is out of note range and loud a bit
2. your singing style is so boring,(in my op) specially for a dance track, you should play with rhythms, maybe shout sometimes, and and and...
3.turn the reverb down sometimes, thats a good suggestion for a dance track.
So all was my personal opinions
your track is nice
Kind Regards

Thanks man. I really appreciate the honestly. I'm still trying to figure out this mixing stuff and try not to over do things. But my vocals, after listening to over and over it can get a little boring. So I understand where you are coming from there, but I think I was thinking to go with the more laid by vocals I suppose. But yeah, Thanks for taking your time out to listen and comment. I needed that.

on iAmless - The Cover - Just A Cover by IamLess
Great song man
I really love this type of guitar playing
but why you used reverb that much?
c'mon that reverb kills your voice
its like you are singing in the bath
your voice is beautiful
and just a little reverb can make your voice more beautiful
but not that much
Kindest Regards

on Inclination by 7venth12
I loved every second of your music too my friend
so
Im gonna give you some of my personal opinions:
1.some reverb could make the vocal line greater than it is
2.that clap in the start could be louder (just a bit)
3.that dropdown in 0:49 makes your vocal's volume louder
(it could be a mistake but in this music it makes your dropdown so great)
5.I loved your pad compression in 1:16
6. and in 1:32 , wow I heard a nice hat and I truely loved it
so everything was good in this music
and I just told my personal opinion
Keep it up
Kindest Regards

My personal opinion is to not split your vocal line
you can sidechain if you want to be have 2 vocals with different effects
but man, why you dont use effects on your first vocal line? thats crazy
every vocal line should be have mastering
roll off and compression is necessary for vocals

its ok if you want to split your vocal lines but dont leave your first vocal line unaffected

Kindest regards

Eighteen
Eighteen replied 23rd Nov 2015 - 10 years ago
Oh I must have misspoken. I certainly do not leave the any vocal unaffected. Just on the mono i use less then on the side since i want to hear them more clearly in the middle versus the side. I dont know on the top of my head what effects i used on the mono part. But there is a lot but very delecate

Okay so i will glad to write something to help you:
we have three phases of mastering:
roll off
compresion
2nd equlize for brighting (EQ)
widing
harmonic exciter (tube-tape-retro)
reverb
maximize
overview

first, what you need to be have a great vocal line is certainly "Roll Off"

Roll off means removing some additional frequencies
for example for male singer you should remove frequencies above 15000Hz and lower than 90Hz (its variable for each singer)
you can easily use a parametric equalizer for this
and some of them has a box which can show you which range of frequencies are additional like Fruity loops parametric EQ2
(which i use)

second thing you need for vocal line is compression
for example if singer shouts a lot in the vocal line
you should be have compression
it makes your vocal line's volume fixed
but sometimes for example you have a rock vocal line which has a lot of shouting and up and down
so you have to limit your vocal line with a limiter
but be careful, cuz limiting and compression should be average, not much and not low
if you have a loud vocal line after limiting, i suggest you to turn the volume down

and the last thing you should do, (except effects like delay, reverb, chorus and etc ) is widing
lemme give you an example,
if a guitar player play guitar in front of you in about 1 meters distance, you hear the guitar sounds loud
but if he goes far about 10 meters, you hear sounds lower

so the widing is same distance
its effective on volume, "but its not the volume"
I dont know what is the plugin in your daw for widing
and if you dont have one, I will be glad to send you one

but the only thing you should do for this track
is to "unwide" your vocal line with a widing plugin

Kind regards

Eighteen replied 23rd Nov 2015 - 10 years ago
Many thanks for the info man.
I deffinitly roll off first followed by a compressor.
As for the widening. This term is kinda new to me. But what i have done is for ,exampletaking one vocal line and splits that into one fully mono and one fully stereo, then over the stereo one use delays ect and side chain so i dont affect the mono part. I will re read the stuff u just gave me when i am at home when i have more time.

Many thanks again man

Its so simple
just tell me what DAW you use
then I can give you some advice to solve that
Eighteen
Eighteen replied 23rd Nov 2015 - 10 years ago
I use ableton. Usually i start with eq8 and then compressor without makeup and then the rest. Delay and stuff like that
