i have used Vocalizr for my past 3 vocal tracks.
You can find really talented writers / singers but takes a little going backward and forward. Great if you don't have anyone to come to your home and record a vocal:

Hey guys, progressive house remix from me! Actually made this 'unofficially' for a label I had released on previously and then forward on a while and it seen an official release:

the worst thing I ever ever did was follow the traditional dogma of :  'go to school and get a good safe job'

By 'dogma' I mean bullshit.

wasted years of my life doing shit work I hold no joy for to make other people rich.
 If you are young, fuck it off. Start a business, follow a passion, spend more time doing shit that makes you happy because with regular 9-5 jobs it doesn't matter what the fuck you do; the government / taxes are taking half ya cash and bills / insurance / food / mortgages / rent etc is taking the rest. Then whats left is getting spunked on a holiday or some materialistic bullshit to help you forget the shitty rat race you plunged yourself into.

 Figure out a way to create a life you don't need a holiday from. The fucking worst thing I ever did (and still do unfortunately) is work for other people in a regular job.


Deep lads. Deep.

ive had an ASUS laptop for quite some time now and does the trick nicely!! although it is getting a bit old and slow nowadays!!   All about checking those specs though but ASUS has been pretty good for me. 

for electronic I would try look for anything mixed by Wez Clarke - he is probably one of the absolute best mixing engineers in the game and has done work for a ridiculous amount of people.
I thought porter Robinsons latest work sounded pretty good.
Eric prydz and deadmau5 are always good to look at for mixing, great balance in their work.

Also check out some more electronis 'band' type stuff for example RUFUS, Fenech-Soler, Rudimental.....stuff like that.

New Remix From me, sitting somewehre on that techno / progressive house fence

1. get the absolute best recording you can.
2. cut out any unnecessary noise or breaths in the audio.
3. Compression. Personally I like either Fab filter or the Glue.
4. Your dry vocal track needs reverb - for me I like Valhalla or Lexington verbs.
5. De-ess your tracks -  cutting out the sharp 's' 't' psh' ....that sorta thing ....basically tame your sharp sounding syllables. Do this with a compressor that is focused in on the proper frequency range or notch out on an EQ - or both.
6. Subtle stereo delay can work wonders on vocals.
7. use a vocal rider or draw in manual volume automation. Obviously a vocal performance isn't done at one constant volume level. Certain words are belted out loud and others are quiet - use a rider or volume automations to smooth out the volume differences so everything is more uniform.
8. As said above its about creating space. No matter how many times I listen back to my vocal mix I always end up fucking about with my volume levels of the vocal. Just how it goes. Try find the sweet spot and like I said above create volume automations throughout to suit the track.
9. You can try using things on sends....such as the reverbs or the delays and see if it works better than using them as inserts.
10. Vocals will always have really resonant parts somewhere in the performance. I like adding random EQs that are only activated on certain word. Example: I'm currently working on a vocal track and there is a word 'Dark'  and part of the 'a' sound rings out a little during the break - so I have added an EQ and notched out the frequency that spikes up and then immediately deactivated it so the EQ isn't affecting anything else throughout the track.
11. if you want...you can try sidechaining things to your vocal. Used subtly it can create more space for your vocal. I prefer just sitting the vox higher in the mix.
12. If you have different vocal stems try bussing them together and adding some compression to reduce the dynamic range between the stems.
13. Duplicate some of your vocal and drown them in reverbs and sit them back in the mix. Adds to the ambience of the track.


theres some stuff to try
