Mixing NECK DEEP vocals with Andrew Wade - Nail The Mix

Vocals are the centerpiece of any pop-punk mix, and getting that expensive, upfront pop sound isn't easy! In this clip from his Nail The Mix session, Andrew Wade goes over his approach in Pro Tools for compression, EQ and effects for lead, backup, and group vocals on "Can't Kick Up The Roots" by NECK DEEP.

The vocals were recorded with a U87 into an 1176 compressor. Andrew uses Waves CLA-76 compressor plugin, Waves Desser to control sibilance, Waves SSL EQ, and Deverb.
