Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start of by gain staging, setting the vocals to hit that -18db sweet spot by using gain automation, then i use a surgical eq to subtract any unwanted frequencies from the mix. Next, i introduce the first compressor to the mix to control the vocal a bit. Then the De Esser comes in handy to control any sibilance in the vocal, add the second eq for toning, second compressor for light toning, saturator or maybe a Slate Revival, then i limit the vocal to catch the peaks that slipped away from the compressors. Moreover, here comes the aux sends for reverb, delay, doublers, etc. Lastly, Volume automation kicks in to level out the mix.
