Yo what's good guys, producer Mika here

and today drumrolls we're gonna be

working on an Afro beat vocal mix I've

gotten a lot of requests about this

particular video. So finally it's here

guys. So without wasting time guys Let's

go right into our DAW and start working

on this mix guys I already have the you

know mix we're gonna be working with

loaded here already And I'm just gonna

play the raw vocals with your like just

the raw project. So you hear what it

sounds like So I'm just gonna shift my

instrumental all the way up

Alright, so let's listen to the vibe

(Music) Jam I love the whole bounce shout

out to E flat on this shout out to treble

for the beat an amazing producer and

artist man Alright, so quickly I'm just

gonna the first thing I always do first

is to get my tempo Like I always say get

your tempo. So I'm just gonna click here

and go to detect tempo and Let's just

select the range and get the tempo. So

he's telling me 108. So I'm just gonna

stretch everything to 108 I'm gonna be

working on the lead

vocal fest, which is this

To have some nice

Yeah

Can hear some noise in between so I'm

gonna trim those parts very very

important So the first thing I'm gonna do

I'm just gonna bring down my beats I

normally before I would just send this to

my send the beats to my mixer then just

you know Use a gain plugin to bring down

the volume But do you know this new FL

update you can actually do against it

here Just you know bring the signal

that's gonna be going to the mixer down

Yeah, so this better I'm just gonna send

it to my mixer and I'm gonna So I'm gonna

send it this to my mixer and I'm gonna

let's rename this lead Vox So in my

previous my previous video, you know, the

vocal was exported with the auto tune and

EQ already But for this, you know, it's

just exported raw as it is So I'm gonna

be adding the auto tune and EQ myself So

if I'm gonna first off look for my key so

to get my key. I'm just gonna Bring in my

FL keys So the key is D major my auto

tune plugin and(...) I'm just gonna

change it to all to tenor and our key to

D major But let's go with D major and I'm

gonna give it a lot of also to you know

They are pro vocals into I'm gonna give

it around six and just a little bit of

human eyes So this way is not so this way

sounds like All right, so the next thing

I'm gonna do I'm gonna bring in my NS NS

which is noise suppressor So basically

what I like to do is to you know do all

the subtractions Remove all these stuffs

that I don't want it before I bring in,

you know the additions So I'm gonna do a

lot of noise removal EQ to remove some

frequencies are not nice I'm going to do

the D S in you know before I start

bringing in the compressor and the

additive EQ So I'm just gonna use nice

oppressor and a big shout out to Benny

Macaulay I actually got this process from

him actually lent this process. I'm

actually using on this video tutorial

from him So I'm gonna leave a link to his

videos here to his channel So you could

go check him out and you know watch his

videos. He has lots of amazing amazing

video tutorials So I'm not gonna use the

NS one just a little bit of it

So all those parts where you know, he's

not singing and they are noise there the

noise suppressors is

gonna tame those noise you get

So So where the vocal is not singing it

just takes off so instead of me having to

go in to you know Cut out these you know

suppressors actually doing it for me

So I'm next I'm just gonna bring in my EQ

and I'm gonna be using q3 for this and

I'm gonna be using this to tame Those

frequencies I feel are not nice So I'm

just gonna for my EQ let's go with Taran

Tati and just I'm gonna

take out about 100 heads

Yeah, I'm gonna take about one hundred

and forty seven and what I'm gonna do I'm

just gonna Mute the beat(...) Vocal so

what I'm gonna do I'm gonna look for

frequencies that are not nice and why I

like you trees because you could solo a

Particular frequency range. I don't I

know Q2 does the same thing, but I love

the Q3 because of the dynamic range so I

click on this and I'm just gonna come

here click and select make dynamic and

I'm gonna go with a very small Q Let's go

with around like 10 and I'm just gonna

listen to the frequencies that are not

nice I(...) Have one here So let's look

for another one. I'm gonna just do the

same thing here Click make dynamic and

just give it same Q of 10

and Let's listen

Yeah, I think that's true, so let me pick

another region yeah So I feel like this

are the frequencies, you know, you could

spend time, you know Actually looking for

frequencies that are not nice and just

bringing it bringing them down and

basically why I like the dynamic Equals

because it will just focus on that

particular frequency without affecting

any frequency around it So that's why I

love using the make dynamic feature

so what I'm gonna do next is just to

select everything select all and just you

know use the Band dynamic range and bring

everything down But unless I can do I can

just see what is actually doing by just

increasing it. Let's increase it(...) So

you see what the frequencies that were

affected? Yeah,(...) so those are the

frequencies I'm not gonna bring it down

let's bring it down to around like

Let's say like 60

Yeah

It off

So it's a bit better I don't know if you

can this year is actually better All

right, so like I said, I'm gonna do a lot

all the subtraction phase before but you

know adding the beauty to this mix So the

next I'm gonna bring is gonna be my rd.

S. I'm gonna bring it RDS up(...) And I'm

just gonna be using a

frequency of let's see

So Basically enough the SS no walking

right now because there's no s been said

So once the s is

coming is gonna take effect

So you can see the the Ds are working

right now. So let me go to that part

Yeah, this part so you're gonna see the

yes Yeah,(...) so nice so just a little

bit of guessing going on here Then next

I'm gonna start adding in beauty. So I'm

gonna be using an EQ for this and I'll be

using SSL EQ yeah, let's see what we can

we can do so for the high and I'm just

gonna do a little bit of boosting Let's

see around the let's see 14 carry John

Yeah, I'm liking it I'm liking it I'm

liking what is is doing so I've brought

like the high end around the 14 carry

John Which plus 9 DB?

So I'm gonna be doing a little bit of

cutting the mid frequency

lasers, you know around the

2k region, I'm just gonna do a

little bit of you know cutting

It a wild a wide pearlship

Yeah, a little bit of something I'm gonna

do a little bit of boosting

Let's Yeah,(...) I'm liking it I'm liking

this I'm liking this

I'm gonna do a little bit of cutting. So

let me show you this

region what it sounds like

So you can see how boxy it is, I'm just

gonna cut it a little

bit Let me turn it off

So more clear a more nice

Yeah, I love this so the next thing I'm

gonna bring in is my compression I'm

gonna be into compressor for this and

it's gonna be a ued compressor So you

guys I love those compressors those

compressors are

amazing amazing compressors

So I'm gonna be into compressors. So the

load is not too much on one. So I'm gonna

be using the ued Compressor, where is it?

Where's it? I'm gonna be using the ued

So this what I'm gonna be using We are

gonna be I'm gonna be using a ratio of 4

to 1 And a little bit of slow release

let's go with a medium attack medium-fast

attack So I'm gonna

be increasing the input

I don't follow you like this I just want

just a little bit of

compression not more than minus

Nice

So a little bit of

compression going in going on

So next I'm gonna bring you know that

compressor this is just to you know

assist this other compressor so

everything sounds Balanced so I'm gonna

be using the what is it

called?(...) electronics

Electronic so this is just what is gonna

boost everything make it sound nice

Sing basically sings up for a no. Yeah,

let me turn this off So, let me crazy you

beat a little bit so So let me just turn

everything down so you

hear what sounds like

I

Love this to compressors So next I'm just

gonna be doing a little bit of multi-band

compressing so it sits in with you know

It sits in with the with the with the

beats. Yeah, just a

little bit of compression

Love Yeah Yeah, we have the ds because of

the compression, you know, the SS has

pop-up again So I'm

gonna be using my pro DS true

Yeah Yeah, so I think I like my vocals I

love the way sounding you know, so let me

just listen to this part

Yeah Yeah, so the next and I'm gonna

bring in my sense So I'm gonna be what

I'm gonna do I'm just gonna route this my

vocal to this truck only so I could

create my sense Let's give it

a color and you know, that's so

So I'm gonna be adding my sense. Yeah,

I'm just gonna bring in

three instance of fruit is saying

I Right, so for my reward one, I just

need a very shorter revamp and I'm gonna

be using the fab filter pro R I'm just go

to this preset and select vocal class

piece So I'm just gonna come to my send

and sidechain to this truck so my revamp

one Sorry on my send I'm just gonna send

this to revamp one So that's what the web

sounds like so I just need a little bit

of Then for my revamp to that's what I'm

gonna be having a long revamp and I'm

gonna be using hitch Vib for that. So

let's remove the impute echoes and just

turn on the modulation. All right So on

my send the second I'm gonna send it to

My revamp to don't forget you have to say

chain So that pops up

here so I can see my revamp

So that's why it sounds like so that's a

lot just bring it down So for my revamp I

want to search in my revamp so that It's

ducks down a little bit when the vocal is

singing and you know when the artist is

not singing it comes up so I'm gonna be

using my free to limit that and just come

to the compression

sidechain and Select my send

I Then for my revamp I just like to you

know use my EQ after it so it doesn't

just cut us around So

it's tamed so I'm just gonna

I So let's listen from the top

If you open that I go into

You to find that no girl I don't give you

love you got in my mouth

I

Gotta add in my delays and I'm gonna be

using Valhalla delay So I'm gonna go to

my send I just I change it and go to my

send 3 and(...) You

know putting our delay

So I'm gonna bring down the feedback and

I'm gonna change to notes and I think we

should go it one over four

Yeah

Give you love you got a man

So, let's do it

Oh Yeah, so for why I like the ping pong

because it's like a color response So let

me show you at this point where it comes

in you hear it very well here

I don't know if you can't get yeah, so

ping pong. It's a nice kind of Yeah It's

to create So that the revamp is not just

everywhere you could create automation

clip and automation clip is actually work

(...) But you know you have to make your

mix sound really nice. It's good to

create(...) automations

Let's go with you know lie so basically

you this does the way you just create

nice so that your

delete does not overshadow

Love you

I think I think my vocal is sound really

nice. So you could spend time just

automating everything so you know, you

know I make sounds really nice. So I'm

gonna be doing The backups in the next

video and also the mastering of this of

this song So I hope this was helpful, you

learned a lot from his channel. Yes, I

also learned So let's see from the top

I

Like these let me turn off I can't just

help people to put you bring the delay

Because I loved you. I love what the

delay is doing there

Do you oh
