EQing harmony vocals
Hi,
I'm having a problem with some vocals, i have a stereo track with acoustic guitar, mandolin, and two male voices singing in close old time country harmony's, the problem is the higher harmony vocal is a bit louder than the lower harmony vocal. Doe's anybody have any eq and or compression advice etc? It would be greatly appreciated ! I'm using PT9 with Macbook pro... skiffle |

Re: EQing harmony vocals
Multi band compression and sweep for the freq you want to tame.
That being said it is a workaround and not the best way to remedy the problem. Anyway there might be more than one way but that's were I would start.

Re: EQing harmony vocals
You might try Soundradix's eq surfer. Watch the protools expert vid about it, then have a go with the demo

Re: EQing harmony vocals
So, this is one stereo track? How are the elements panned?

Re: EQing harmony vocals
Thanks guys, i'll give it a try!
Ben, i sucked the tune off of a cassette onto two mono tracks originally, after doing some basic editing i bounce them to disc through a Kramer master tape on a stereo maser fader, i then imported the track back in to the project as a stereo track panned hard let and right! Thanks again! skiffle |

Re: EQing harmony vocals
I meant if the two vocals were a bit left and a bit to the right, you would have more options.

Re: EQing harmony vocals
Unfortunately not Ben, it was originally recorded with both vocals and guitar on one mic, and the mando through another mic on another track, both panned up the middle on an old tascam porta studio, the high harmony guy was a bit to close to the mic!
Cheers! |

Re: EQing harmony vocals
Would Melodyne help with something like this? I think some versions of Melodyne can extract individual voices so you can manipulate them, separately.

Re: EQing harmony vocals
Its worth a try, but don't expect a miracle(although Melodyne delivers that quite often). If you get lucky, and the part you want to lower is NOT on the same note as the acoustic, it may work, but that's going to be a crapshoot

EQ and compress just add to taste. Probably impossible to say much more without hearing the tracks. Stephen
