Vocal mixing
Add echo, reverb and space to a vocal
Studio echo and reverb, applied to the voice only. Nothing else in the track is touched.
Summary
Drop a vocal on the box above, move a control, press the button. You hear it immediately and you can download it. Six controls, no account, no install, free.
Most vocal mixing tools ask you to learn a mixing desk first. This one has six sliders that all start flat, and nothing happens until you move one. The mix is made in your browser, so it is instant and it is free.
What each control does
All six act on the voice. In song mode the music is left exactly as it was.
| Control | What it does | Reach for it when |
|---|---|---|
| Vocal level | Makes the voice louder or quieter. | The vocal is buried in the track, or sitting on top of it. |
| Reverb | Puts the voice in a room. | It sounds flat, close, or stuck to your face. |
| Echo | Adds repeats that fade out. | You want a line to feel bigger, or to trail off. |
| Brightness | Lifts or softens the top end. | The voice is dull, or too sharp. |
| Vocal width | Spreads the voice out between the speakers. | You want it wide rather than dead centre. |
| Take off harshness | Calms the hard S and T sounds. | Certain words spit or sting. |
Reverb or echo?
People mix these two up constantly, and they do different jobs.
Echo is a repeat you can count. A voice coming back off a wall a long way away. You hear the word, then you hear it again, quieter.
Reverb is the wash of a room. Hundreds of reflections arriving so close together that you cannot pick them apart, so it reads as a space rather than a repeat.
Echo makes a vocal sound bigger and more deliberate. Reverb makes it sound like it is somewhere instead of nowhere. Most vocals want a little reverb. Echo is a choice you make on purpose, usually on one line rather than the whole take.
Mixing a full song
Choose A full song and drop the finished track in. The voice is split out first, the controls are applied to that voice only, and it goes back over the music untouched. You get the mixed song, and the instrumental on its own.
Splitting the voice out of a song runs on our GPUs, so that part uses your free separator minutes. Mixing a vocal you already have is free with no limit.
Why this is free
The mix is made in your browser. Your file never leaves your computer and no GPU is involved, so there is nothing for us to charge for. That is also why it is instant: there is no queue and no upload to wait through.
Common questions
How do I add echo to a vocal online?
Drop the vocal on the box above, move Echo up, press Mix the vocal. Listen, adjust, download.
Do I need an account?
No. An account is only needed for the tools that run on our GPUs, like training a voice or splitting a full song.
What files can I use?
WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A and OGG. The mix downloads as a WAV.
Will it change the music as well as the voice?
No. In song mode the instrumental is put back exactly as it came out. Only the voice is touched.
Can I undo it?
Press Reset and every control goes back to flat. Your original file is never modified.
The rest of the pipeline
Vocal mixing is usually the last step. These are the ones before it, and each works on its own page:
- Split stems — pull the vocal out of a song, or split lead from backing vocals.
- Voice converter — sing a track in a different voice.
- Train a voice — make the voice model in the first place.
- Noise removal and reverb removal — for cleaning a recording up before anything else.
