1. Understanding Justin's Vocal Style

Before we dive into the technical aspects, it's essential to understand what makes Justin's vocal sound so appealing. His vocals are characterized by:

  • Expressive Delivery: Justin's ability to convey emotion through his voice.
  • Clean Highs: Bright and airy high frequencies that stand out in the mix.
  • Subtle Reverb: A touch of reverb to create space without drowning the vocals.

2. Recording Your Vocals

To start, you need a clean vocal recording. Here are some tips:

  • Use a Quality Microphone: A condenser mic like the Audio-Technica AT2020 can help capture the nuances of your voice.
  • Environment Matters: Record in a quiet, acoustically treated space to minimize background noise.
  • Pop Filter: Use a pop filter to reduce plosive sounds.

3. Applying EQ

Equalization (EQ) is critical to achieving that polished sound.

  • High-Pass Filter: Set around 80Hz to remove unnecessary low-end rumble.
  • Boost High Frequencies: Gently boost around 5kHz-10kHz to add brightness to your vocals.
  • Cut Muddy Frequencies: Remove frequencies between 200Hz-400Hz that may cause muddiness.

4. Using Compression

Compression helps control dynamics and gives your vocals a polished feel.

  • Set the Ratio: Start with a 3:1 ratio to smooth out the peaks without losing the vocal's natural dynamics.
  • Attack and Release: A fast attack (10-20 ms) helps catch peaks, while a medium release (100-200 ms) maintains the vocal's energy.

5. Adding Reverb and Delay

Reverb adds depth, while delay can enhance the vocal's presence.

  • Reverb: Use a small room or plate reverb to keep vocals upfront while adding a sense of space.
  • Delay: A subtle slapback delay (around 80-120 ms) can thicken the vocal sound without cluttering the mix.
