This step may be difficult for the beginners if you do not have the ears to identify the resonating frequencies. Then, I use ‘bell’ filter to find out and reduce the resonating frequencies. For me, I usually start with adding a high pass filter to remove the unwanted low frequency of the vocal recording. You can use the de-essing presets and adjust the bands according to your vocal recording.Īfter removing the sibilance, it’s time to remove the resonating and unwanted frequency of the vocal recording. For FL Studio users, we do not have a de-esser plugin but it can be done through Maximus. De-essers are multiband compressors designed to remove sibilance from a vocal recording. They will form harsh frequencies in the high end and can be irritating for the listeners. The main purpose of De-Essing is to remove the ‘hiss’ sound or sibilance from the audio recording. The gain knob indicates the amount of dBs you want deduct with the Noise Gate. Play with the release knob to get a natural sounding result from your noise gate. Any audio signal under the threshold will be muted or silenced so set your threshold carefully. For FL Studio users, it can be found in Fruity Limiter. We can get rid of the noise by using a Noise gate. Some examples of background noises are people talking in the back, headphone output bleeding into the microphone or computer noises. The next thing that we need to do is to get rid of background noises because they are annoying and they can ruin the mix. Some of the most famous 3rd party plug-ins for pitch correction are Antares Auto-Tune and Melodyne. We want to place the pitch of our vocal within the scale so that it won’t be out of key.

We can do pitch correction using newTone or Pitcher but I personally prefer newTone as you have more control of what you are going to do. Singers aren’t perfect and they can be a little shaky and miss some notes.

The concept can be applied in other DAWs as well. Today we are going to show you how to treat your vocal with native tools from FL Studio if you cannot afford expensive 3rd party plugins. In order for the vocal to fit perfectly in the mix, we need to make sure the vocal is welly treated to avoid any mixing troubles. Vocal is an important element for Electronic Dance music because it adds an organic touch to the song and its effect cannot easily be done through synthesizers.
