This is one of the most popular studio techniques for mixing vocals in shoegaze songs.

Common software programs used are Pro Tools, Logic and Ableton.

Individuals making music at home find these software programs very useful because they provide a lot of the same features as a professional recording studio.

A lot of shoegaze musicians use studio techniques to enhance their unique vocal style.When a band records a song, an individual “track” is recorded for each instrument separately. The vocalist gets their own track, too. These separate tracks are then mixed together in a studio or with software to create the final version of the song. Most songs are mixed so that the vocals are bright and audible over all the other instruments.In shoegaze, the vocals are tucked just under the guitar so that they blend in rather than stand out.
