For mixing rap vocals, I like to use Neoverb Pro because it has a built-in Reverb Assistant that will listen to the vocal and then adjust the EQ of the reverb to make sure you get the cleanest possible reverb tone that stays out of the way of your vocal. Reverb can give a vocal a good sense of space by adding ambience, but make sure you aren’t drenching the vocal in it, otherwise it will wash it out and make it unintelligible. Before you begin mixing the vocals, make sure each vocal track aligns with the main vocal to keep things nice and clean.Īnother common problem with mixing hip-hop vocals is adding too much reverb. If layered vocals are panned in the same position and have timing discrepancies beyond about 20 milliseconds of each other, the result can sound like stutters, slapback, or echo, which is distracting when the goal is clarity. It’s standard practice for rappers to record a lead vocal, a double of it, and some vocal throws (a track in which only certain words of the original vocal are performed to highlight or emphasize them), but sometimes the vocal production can be much more complex.

Known for it’s pattern-based interface, FL Studio is powerful, beautifully designed and highly intuitive.

One common mistake when mixing rap and hip-hop is having a messy vocal section. In 2021, FL Studio remains one of the most popular DAW’s among both beginner and advanced music producers. Keep vocals tight with timing and clean reverb
