The vocal is the centerpiece of your track, and when you mix vocals there are a few techniques you can use to take a dry lead and make it pop. From compression, to saturation, to adding effects—mixing and mastering engineer Mario Borgotta takes you through it all in this vocal mixing tutorial using the track "OVER IT!" by koby ft. Axel Mansoor. For Output plugin fans, watch how he uses Thermal to add some bite, and Portal to add interest to the reverb tail. These techniques will work within any DAW and similar plugins you like to use.
