I am right now on a new track and came to my most hated point of mixing: vocal processing.
I've been producing for 1.5 years now and this is my second time, that I really have a lead/main vocal in my track, because I was always afraid of mixing vocals, due to the fact that it always sounded incredibly shitty.
This time I am really motivated to dig into the jungle of vocal processing tutorials and I've encountered several plug-in lists of what to get. Obviously plug-ins don't make your mixer magically better but since I barely have any high end vocal processing tools (pitcher, saturator, vocal compressors), I was thinking to "start" buying some of these...
Sadly I am a student. Don't have much money and also don't know where to start. So I can't buy every plug-in that happens to exist. I have a list of plug-ins that caught my attention, though:
- Melodyne (which version tho)
- Nektar 2 (iZotope offers student discount)
- Revoice 3
- smth completely different
So if I have to start somewhere which of these 3 will improve my mix the most (if I know how to use them obv)?
I'd highly appreciate every help. Thanks in advance :)
P.S.: I also don't own any good mixing/mastering tools. So should I get good mixing/mastering tools before digging into the world of vocal plug-ins. E.g. smth like Neutron 2 or Ozone 8?
