R&B Template

Bring your R&B sessions together with the R&B Recording & Mixing Template by ShaneMixedIt, built for lead vocals, layered harmonies, spacious hooks, and creative ad-libs.

What’s included:

• Dedicated beat and recording tracks.
• Separate lead and hook sections with their own processing buses.
• Three background-vocal groups for harmonies and vocal stacks.
• Three ad-lib treatments routed through a shared ad-lib bus.
• Vocal chains for tuning, EQ, compression, de-essing, tone, and width.
• Shared reverbs, echo, note delays, parallel compression, and doubling.
• Mix-bus processing options and master metering.

Organized routing. Lead, hook, background, and ad-lib buses feed All Vocals; effects feed All FX. The beat, All Vocals, and All FX then feed the main mix bus for easy balancing.

Plugin requirements. This template uses plugins from multiple brands, including premium options that may be costly. Plugin licenses aren’t included. You can substitute plugins you already own.

Versions adapted for other DAWs may use substitute plugins, so settings and sound can differ. The original settings were developed using example vocals—adjust them to fit your voice, beat, and song.
