Here's what you'll discover:

● Rethink Vocal Treatment for LoFi: Unlike pop or hip-hop, LoFi vocals are not meant to be shiny or loud; instead, they function as part of the texture, blending into the track, drifting, and supporting the overall mood. They can be subtle phrases, layered textures, whispered lead melodies, background color, or even chopped sample.

● Implement a Fundamental LoFi Vocal Mixing Chain: Start by adding an EQ to clean up the sound, high passing anything under 80-100 hertz, dipping muddy mids around 300-600 hertz, and adding a gentle high-end boost around 8-10k. Next, use a compressor with a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio, a slow attack, and a fast release to level out dynamics and ensure the vocal sits smoothly in the mix.

● Achieve Signature LoFi Character with Saturation and Space: Integrate saturation or a tape effect to add grit, warmth, or wobble, aiming for a worn-out cassette sound to soften the vocal. Then, give vocals space by adding plate or spring reverb for a vintage tone, and use tape-style delay or slapback to add movement, sending these effects to a bus for better control
