UAD Recording & Mixing Template

Spend less time setting up and more time creating. Built around my vocal workflow and UAD processing, this template includes dedicated tracks for your beat, recording, leads, hooks, ad-libs, and background layers.

Shared lead and background vocal buses bring together EQ, de-essing, compression, and tape saturation. Dedicated reverb and delay returns add space, while a mix bus with compression and limiting helps bring everything together. Organized tracks and session notes keep the workflow easy to follow.

Record your vocals, place them on the appropriate tracks, and adjust the processing to fit your voice and song.
