Tutorial FL studio mixing my way ^^

[ChocoNilla04]

Well just as the title says ^^

1. Add the tracks + load the samples
2. Click the name and change the Fx box Gyazo - 1d18790535ea5503c699e56efe9617f1.png
For off vocal/instrumental it should be on --
normal vocal tracks 1
And any radio effects etc 2
3. Select the volumes (don’t change instrumental at first) 100% for mains. About 65-75% for harms
4. Then check for the bpm of the song. Sometimes its on piapro or the utau tempo (so you have an estimate).
5. Paste the off vocal in the track and on the top next to the pause button click song. (otherwise it wont play) click the small arrow next to the name of the Off vocal track you pasted. To open a window. Gyazo - 49c5390d78e2c6f220958219453cbe03.png
Click detect tempo and either fill in the BPM or click one of the options which is close to your bpm. Gyazo - 4a3247dfaa32e14da5114d8c5f70de86.png Elect for example is 130BPM so I’d choose 100-200. If it gives a result like 130.002 change it on the top of FL where it tells you the bpm. Just drag until it gives you a whole number.
6. Ok. Now for the effects.
• Main: Gyazo - 59631a5a031bd682f9ac53d3ee1767e1.png
http://gyazo.com/ec8820e6b2c87284e6c13ea4c9802cff for limiter put the right noise button on -0.5DB (left top window)
Reveerb2 – small studio. About 75% effect.
Soundgoodizer: Gyazo - 15103b061ed83d78bc834ac94bc0f2b6.png just mess with how much you want. Keep it on A
• Vocals: Gyazo - 7981d917b91bfd1d579effc56bddd093.png
Chorus: LightHF preset 40%
Compressor. Complete mix 100%
• FX2: Gyazo - 0053006bcdff856cec65469664028c56.png
If you want radio effects on the vocals. Copy the vocal channel effects and add EQ2. Radio or old telephone.
7. Now that you have all the preperations done. Align the instrumental with the bars. Gyazo - 38480a59f30dc14eddebe74d5fc3df16.png You can use the metronome to see if you did it right.
8. Then paste the main + harms. Select them and also align them. So they’re aligned with the off vocal and bars. Just mess around until you have the right timing
Gyazo - cbdaec0317a174bfe0865517c0340e7b.png See that one sound ends at a bar. Make sure it ends perfectly so you have OCD like perfection =w=b Gyazo - 50d85b3325e236d9fa667f04bb4f89d3.png (if you have trouble just paste the oiginal song in and mix it with the instrumental, then mix your vocal track and do the ocd like perfection thing XD)
9. Afterwards mess with soundgoodizer. (like change the level and also now the volume of the off vocal to see what sounds best it should be pretty ok already in like 80% of the cases) Any extra effects you want.
10. If you want to have a single part with for example the FX2 (radio) thing we made. Just cut up the part and go to the http://gyazo.com/49c5390d78e2c6f220958219453cbe03 window and select make unique as a sample. You will get something like this: Gyazo - 1cf1b0aa9ebaa5efea198048480235a3.png
Just select the new parts you made, click the name and put the FX box on 2 so it’s linked to fx channel 2.

11. Last but not least. Exporting. I usually export in HQ. Just go to file. Export. Mp3 and put it like this to get HQ mp3 Gyazo - ad80cbb19864d40fe028b6fdcc2859ae.png

That’s all. I hope you guys can use it =w=;

My way of mixing utau songs in FL studio by MadLilium on deviantART

Seems neat, but mixing really is something specific to the song and to the voice... It's as custom as an OTO, so a one-size-fits-all style of tutorial really ain't the best idea.

You've got good ideas though. Just make them more generic, and get rid of the Soundgoodizer.

Since I forgot to add this and I can't seem to edit my thread for some reason =w=;
It's my way of mixing. I'm not telling you to follow it to the letter. It's a guide. If you want to try other effects etc just try it.
I just wrote down how i mix atm.
Like effects, mixing vocals to off vocal etc.
If you want to try other things or have good ideas. Just tell me and please also argument.
Tell me why you like the effect or dont and perhaps provide samples.
