    Really appreciate this, Devvon. But we all know that the recording process is important too. Personally i think the crazy smooth sound comes from a good mic/preamp/interface chain. The processing is just to make it perfect in the mix. I would love to see a video on how to record professionally maybe even in a home studio. Which gear and stuff like that. Thank you

    Never be afraid to use a multiband compressor ladies and gentlemen! It’s essentially a dynamic eq (even more so if it using dynamic phase or linear phase algorithms). It’s been around for a very long time and is essentially a wide band to semi narrow frequency compressor. A dynamic eq on the other hand, was invented to remove specific frequencies (essentially having the narrowest Q’s possible) and can be used just like a multiband compressor (wider Q’s). A lot of producers I have met along this journey, all use multiband compressors. It’s even a must-have in all professional studios whether it’s a hardware unit or in a plugin. Also, de-essers can be considered one of the first dynamic EQ’s to exist. It’s been used in countless of songs for many years so don’t listen to people who say don’t use it or you don’t need it. Because you will at some point need it to have more frequency control in muddy to harsh areas and it will make the workflow much quicker.

    Great video! One thing to mention is on the predelay it not only tells the reverb to come in later it's actually delaying the reverbed vocal, so if your saying "Stop" and the predelay is pretty high like 150ms if you listen closely the you will hear "Stop" delayed but reverbed. So this will extend/lengthen whatever you are reverbing, which you will need to be careful that you're not leaving tails over your next words coming in. What you may want to try is if you have a reverb that has an attack you can slow down the attack so you don't hear the "ST" of "stop" and it won't appear to delay. On the other hand you can leave the attack super fast and you're getting a delay and a reverb at the same time! So if you're doing this make sure if you're adding delay use an Aux track otherwise you are delaying a delay - which might be cool, but might not. Really cool video though, I enjoyed it!
