The main vocal ideas are in place, with just a few spots to finesse and fill in. Once the takes are in place, ill adds processing and effects to the vocals to enhance each section and create atmosphere.
See how ill Factor:
- Write the ending line of the pre-chorus
- Stack harmonies on the pre-chorus
- Explains which warping algorithm to use when adjusting vocals in Ableton Live
- Discusses treating the vocals during production before mixing even when passing off to another engineer like Jimmy Douglass
- Breaks down his thought process behind vocal processing and effects
- Talks about listening to what the artist is naturally doing while listening to playback and adding those ideas during the vocal production
- Sidechains delays and effects to the vocal to duck them while the vocal is happening and bloom when finished
- Automates filters on the delays to add movement to the effect tail
Watch ill Factor, produce "Light Shine Through" from Jared Evan. Only on pureMix.net

Yvan, master of the analogies! I'm now a huge fan (and user) of Ableton live. Dope! Thanks again for all that crazy stuff!

Great vocal treatment. Simple and effective. Very explanatory as well. Watch until the end!
