Important Notes :

• This preset differs from my actual professional mixing chain. It has been simplified as much as possible using only free plugins to make it accessible for beginners.
• The current version is designed for a single Main Vocal (1 track). Harmony/Doubling/Chorus tracks will be added in a future update.

How to Use :

Default Settings

• Inst (Instrumental / Backing Track) : Set to -20dB by default, assuming a loud, already-mastered instrumental. If you are using a quieter, unmastered 2-mix instrumental, I recommend raising the Inst track's volume fader to around -12dB ~ -8dB.
• Vocal Gain Staging : Open the Teletronix LA-2A plugin inserted on the Vocal Effect Bus. While listening to the track, adjust the Vocal track's volume fader so that the Gain Reduction needle peaks around -3 to -5 VU at most.
• Oh, by the way—you can adjust the amount of reverb using the Send level on the Vocal Effect Bus!

Beginner Guide

1. Import your rendered UTAU vocal file (WAV) onto the Vocal track.
2. Import your instrumental file onto the Inst track.
3. Hold Shift while dragging the audio clips to align the timing (sync) between the vocal and the instrumental.
