A great vocal is the heart of a great track. 

Learn how to prepare, record, produce, pitch correct, and process vocals like a pro. In this course, Evoke takes you through everything from setting up your microphone to mixing down your final multi-tracks. You’ll learn the principles of getting a high-quality recording, how to map out your takes, and how to design your own vocal chains using EQ, compression, saturation, pitch correction software, and spatial effects. We’ve got everything you need to know to make your vocals stand out and sound professional. Make your voice heard.
