Lets start cleaning!
Cleaning is a term for removing static noises etc. in asolo track
It is also where I try as much as possible to balance outthe mic qualities~
This is done to ALL solo tracks and the steps are donein a specific order
Each solo track needs different effects but Ill give you alist on the general effects
Some solo lines doesnt need some of the effects. Illgive you a table later~
To start, double click one of the solo tracks and itll goto the edit view!

Thats usually what I do. But
sometimes, peoples lines change so
does the stuff you do to them. You justneed to know what the effects are for
so you can do it to them~
Sometimes lines are also too crisp, so
you might want to add a little bass.Effects -> Filters -> Graphic Equalizer -
> Simple Bass Lift -> OK!

VOLUMES!
The normalize effect we did in the cleaning
actually makes the tracks somehow have the
same volume. But there might be some that
are too loud or too soft, so be sure to listenand change the volumes of those tracks~

Mixdowns
Group together the duet lines, trios, quadros,
etc. into a single track using mix downs. This
helps to easily manage these parts.

Effects
Here goes reverb, echo, stutter effects,Autotune, ETC.
I usually duplicate tracks and put the effect on
those so I can control how much of the effectcan be heard.
Also, panning the effects left and right is goodtoo~
Just study the original track closely to knowwhat kinds of special effects they used~

Volumes
After that its time to adjust the volumes for
the mixdowns/effects/echoes etc.
Just make sure they have more or less the
same volume

Finalizing
Mixdown everything from the instrumental, to
the harmonies to the vocals to the effects.
EVERYTHING.
Then go listen to it. Adjust volumes and other
stuff if needed.
If it sounds good enough, ITS DONE!
