What's inside?
- Before any plugin: a checklist for a clean take, because no chain saves a clipped recording.
- The Logic Pro vocal chain: Noise Gate, Pitch Correction, Channel EQ, Compressor, DeEsser 2, tone and reverb on a send. What each step is for and when to skip it.
- The FL Studio vocal chain: Mixer routing, Pitcher, Fruity Parametric EQ 2, Fruity Limiter, de-essing, and reverb and delay on send tracks.
- A fix-it table: sounds fine solo but disappears in the beat, autotune pulling to wrong notes, words blurring together? Here's what to do.
- A checklist for every session.
Why no settings?
Because there are no magic numbers. Your voice, mic, room and beat decide what works. This sheet gives you the order and tells you what to listen for. Want a starting point with the settings already in? Check our vocal presets for Logic Pro and FL Studio.
