Topic Mixing Vocals into an Instrumental track
Hi,
Im having problems when i try to mix my vocal track into an instrumental..
the quality of the voice is so different from the quality of my instrumental track.

The sound of the vocal is like its too near from ur face..it's so noticable, after all the experiments of compressing,limiting,stereo expanding still is a rubbish

Any advice that can make my vocal track to sit nicely on the mixdown?
(Im more on Hiphop and RnB/soul)

by the way im using:
-Adobe Audition 3 (mixing and Mastering)
-Rode NT1-A connected to Behringer Xenyx 1202FX

Thanks!

Do you mean that there's already reverb on the vocal track (perhaps too much), or that you're trying to add reverb to the vocal yourself and it's not sounding good?

That still happens to me at times where I can't get the reverb right. Sometimes I find using an echo or delay works much better (depending on the style of the vocal), so give it a try, mess with the panning and timing of the echo/delay and see if that improves anything
