What is the best mastering software for Hip-hop vocals on pc?

 

being the master at mastering vocals, of course!

 

mastering s usually applied to a whole track. Processing (which you probably is refering to) is EQ, gate, compression, filtering (lowcut/highpass to remove rumble, proximity and some plosives), maybe overdrive/distortion and/or exciter.

There is no "best" software. There are hundreds of ways to do this (DAWs, built-in effects, dedicated vocal-strip plugins and endless number of individual plugins that can make or break an effect-chain).

 

^^ This guy *yes*

 

Dude there is no one method in a nutshell.It takes practice....

 

dear brother..

what others says is right.
there is no such thing as Best Software..it all depends on your skills and experience

i believe you are looking for a magic software one touch button for such task..
maybe you can try this..this is what i do most for my tons of music files

its a lazy mastering software for music tracks hehehe..with just a hit of a button hehe..

or if you are looking for the real thing Mastering stuff..
you can try

Wavelab..
Ozone
T racks
there are tons of nice Plugins for mastering also..you can check Waves..

afterall just like most of the folks said here..they are just tools..your best tools is your Ears and skills hehehe...^_^

hope that helps..

 

Hey Alpine one of the best vsts is izotope nectar it has alot of presets to find the right vocal sound..... check it out

 

I cant believe that this works. Looks like they normalize the files, fair enough, cheap road to "loudness" but the pitch correction...? On a full track? How can that possibly work right?

i dont know how the software do it hehe..

i just used it to batch process my tons of music files that i have to listen , so they have atleast a decent sound..
of course its not that decent compared to the real mastering..

some other DJs used it to level all of their tracks .. *yes*


its a Lazy tool..but still works if used properly

 

Yeah I agree its probably handy to quickly volume normalize files, but the pitch correction thing on a full track is just crazy.

 

Thank you to all who posted and advised! I learned that there is no simple software to process vocals perfectly. I have to know what I want them to sound like AND know how to get them to sound that way.

 

Uncompress lossy mp3, normalize, and then compressing it to lossy mp3 again? Lol!

 

im surprised no one recommended reaper

 

(first sorry for my English i'm French ^^)

if you want to make a very good mastering,

use Mid/Side EQ Linear
(like Brainworx, Waves, ...)

Stereo Tools
Vengeance Stereo Bundle for ex (if you want to use)

Compressor
(Buss Compressor: UAD 4K, Waves BussComp, Cytomic Glue, ...)
(Multiband Compressor: Vengeance Multiband, Waves C4, Bluecat MB5 ...)
Multiband is perfect for clean the Sub Frequency & agressive frequency!

Limiter
(Fabfilter Pro-L is the best for me)
Izotope, waves L2 or make a Mid/side Limiting ;)


I hope his advice will help you ;)
