Yes Wayne.wav does have great tutorials but there are also other great tutorials as well by other individuals.. I don't know how many other tutorials you have watched, but here are a few which have taught me alot, pensado's place, busy works beats, help me devon is also good, musician on a mission, behind the speakers, Raw Technique studios, Sean Devine, Audio Pro, ADSR, Sound Oracle, Modern Mixing, Matthew Weiss, Recording Revolution and several others. I have learned a lot from all of these individuals, they each have their own techniques. I respect them all. So the question that I asked earlier is because each of these individuals have said something similar to what Wayne.wav has stated but they also have stated other things. I'm just asking for input thats all no beef.

Engineering tips infused with a little bit of comedy is golden.

That what i love some much about this channel

-6 is a bit hot for me for recording. In fact depending on what plugins I'm using I aim for -18 or -10. Interesting thing if you record everything at say -18 you'll notice everything will sound just a little better. Reason being is that your meters and even wave forms are not showing the quickest transients and peaks, which at -6 are clipping - even though it doesn't look or sound like it it will add up over multiple tracks. With modern recording interfaces theres almost no such thing as a noise floor unless you have a really cheap converter/interface or your recording at -30 or something.

You man Wayne!!! Keep the videos up! I've been mixing for years but I love to see, and hear other producers perspective. Thank you for this!

YO! THIS SAVED ME! I NEVER KNEW TO TURN OFF PRE-FADER MONITORING! (MIND BLOWN) THIS GUY DEFINITELY HAS A GIFT FOR TEACHING. GREAT JOB OF WALKING US THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF YOUR TEACHING US. THUS COVERING ALL POSSIBLE SITUATIONS. PERFECT TUTORIAL BRO!

Best video on KZread for recording and mixing levels ✅ !!!

So many things I learn from this man. You make this info easy for my to understand. Thank you Wavy Baby! My favorite audio KZread channel.

Apprecite the tip fam. Just got my set up at home so I could pump out more music. Your tips help out A lot bro

Hey Wayne. I've used a lot of KZread videos for protools support...I tend not to use it all the time, then come back to it and have forgotten basics. I love your videos and style of communication best! Thank you. You're now my protools guy. :)

Wayne...Your magnificence is in your simplicity and clarity.Tnx for your videos.

I know you focus on hip hop, but your information is so good, it will make it possible for a novice to record classical singers with an orchestra track. That sir, makes you unique as a teacher. Your flair for making learning comfortable is a blessing. Thank you so much for great information.

Just saw Wayne for the first time, I have been in the industry for 40 years and his straight forward with a little humor, as good as it gets. Very cool.

My guy. I have been on you a couple of years. U keep me fresh.

Who needs full sail when ya got wavy Wayne?! 🔥

Wavy bro you are the reason I decided to take audio engineering into my own hands. You make it hella easy

Really loved this explanation. Really clear breakdown of how to monitor your gain staging as you mix.

Another nice lesson from Wayne. Best on the web for learning ProTools. Well done.

thanx wayne u are speaking my launguage easy to understand straight to the point and matches title ,very helpful time saver.

Wavy is sooo coooool - he always makes me smile.

Whats going on Wavy Wayne!? Had to thank you again, I was having this exact problem and you saved the day once again. Also How can I become a part of Sauce Records?? lol

Once again you're on point, thanks for another dope video, this really helps me out just like all your videos. Keep up the good work bro👍👍👍💯💯💯

best producer i know. learning so much off him nobody on youtube is doing this.

pt7.4 OG lol but I love your teaching methods they help my students understand in a way that allows them to stay in touch and saves my breath lol. thank you king.

I'm really happy I found your tutorials, they are incredibly helpful and informative. I was wondering if you'd maybe be good to cover using limiters at some point? Particularly in the mastering process. I use a multimaximizer and I find it very difficult to get a full sound at the end. It always seems to feel like there's something missing. I noticed you mentioned you have a mastering video coming up - I'm looking forward to that! Thanks, Wayne! - Rabb

After the pink color being everyone’s favorite I couldn’t focus on the video LOL! I had to stop it for a bit… after all, excellent information! Great job man! Great video! Thank you!

Wayne.wav with another great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man, just stumbled across this. Brilliant video! You have a new subscriber.

Dude, thank you for these vids. Im a novice in recordin n im learnin a ton from u. I'm a Metal artist but all this still applies! Thanks again!

Thank you for the Tips. Been efficient in the studio is the most important thing. 🔥🔥

Wow your info is on point bro!! I had to go back and watch more to up my game. Thank you wavy....

Thank you WW I got it. You are the best.

IconMuzik bro thanks Wayne you always got the goods bro!

Good content dude. Thanks for the tips

Salute King I appreciate it Wavy

Dig your channel. You do a great job in these videos. I've learned a lot and I appreciate you.

i can understand everything he teach's

Perfect Explanation! Plus you made me LOL! Lookin to watch more bro. Thanks from Santa Rosa....Yeeeee

Your raw as hell keep Killin it bro

Wow! This is awesome! Glad I came across this. I am a beginner when it comes to recording my own songs. If only I had known this basic stuff. I am struggling with everything being far too quiet in my headphones when recording and on play back I cannot go any louder on my Focusrite interface or I will be in the red basically, even using the faders in pro tools is not enough. I am using Windows 10. Is that my issue? Or is it something else?

Your the best Wayne!!!

Hey, thanks for this video. Did you say that you want your master fader to hover around -6db before you bounce it out? I assume the reason for this is bc you want to give the mastering engineer headroom? Also, if this is correct, how much will the mastering engineer boost the final mix? Will they bring it up to 0db, or is there a certain industry standard?

Love your channel man!

youre one of the best audio teachers on youtube and this planet on god

great teaching bro. look forward to more of your videos

Man, you have another career in comedy after engineering! LOL! Keep puttin' it on the bottom shelf so we all can reach it!

Wayne.wav is clip gain the same as gain staging? I'm having a hard time getting my mixes to sound loud, I always find that my master fader clips when trying to turn up volume.

Really good advice for newbies. Thanks Wavy.

A bro thank you I appreciate it. The settings and stage gaining that I set in logic how do I keep those same settings in pro tools when I dump the music in protools

this is exactly what i needed right now !!!! Thank you!!!!

Brilliant video. Do you suggest negative 6 for pretty much any instrument as well? Guitars etc.

What’s up Wayne hope you see this message 🙏🏼 so in other words keep the mix under 6db on the master fader before sending it to mastering?????

Excellent video. Very clear explanation. Thank you very much man.

thanks bro.... this was very helpful... A1 insight as always

Im just mind blown on how you knew pink was my favorite colour. When you said it I looked behind me to see if you were in the room Lmao. Great Vid Bro !

You have great teaching skills💯💯💯 Thanks

Good video, as always.

Good stuff man. Thanks

Great Advise!! Ty!!!

when recording midi using midi keyboard, do you set levels also so that it don't clip/create distortion

You're awesome man! Great teacher!

Wavy’s the best in YT

Yo Wavy, I hear you say that the mix input levels should be around (-6dbl) when recording right, but what about after you (bus) them over to (aux tracks for FX) and a bit more volume is added before mastering??? Should we turn all of our aux tracks down to (-6dbl) before mastering etc???

You the truth man‼️

Great video my dude

OMG! Thanks SO much for explaining this...in plain English! You're awesome!

Do you have a video for cleaning vocals?? Her voice sounds sooooooooo crisp.... Great job, Bruv.

Great tutuorial but I have a few questions. 1) Preloaded tracks (beat and vocal) - Should I use clip gain to bring up or down to -6db. 2) What is the purpose of the Voume Track meter and how is that different from Clip gain? Response appreciated.

Great job bro!!!

So helpful bro! Thank you!

Dawg u bn taking me to school for the past 2 days on my in home studio

Aiming for -6db in my master track includes after adding mixing such as eq compressor etc?

dude for example if you recorded a a track to hot and you already have an audio file in pro tools you can change imput level by puting trimer on track so it dosent have weird distortions when hiting most analog plugins

Hey Wayne, doesn't the trim tool work also? Do you use the trim tool with adjusting levels?

But cant you change the input volume of the track in protools via clip gain. its a volume icon on the waveform

subed and liked this vid as soon as you changed the track to pink cuzz you knew that was my favorite color lol

Wayne you are awesome

Thank you Wayne :)

Hey Wayne.. You got some first class info in your vids. Hats off to ya. Here's a thought, or 2, from an old fart. I don't know if using -6 for peaks is a good idea, perhaps you can follow my drift. -12db absolute peaks at RECORDING stage to file. Why ... because anything north (towards 0) will put some form of system Input Gain Distortion, on an already clean signal. Not necessary and more desirable to have a clean signal to work with. at -6dB peaks at 'input recording' you would be trashing the transient harmonics. We can measure distortion long before we can hear it. I know Analogue distortion can be all warm and fuzzy, but now we can easily add as much distortion, saturation, etc as we like AFTER RECORDING the master file, where we have control in playback for the mix, off the clean master file.. How many calibrated devices are there between the vocals.. etc and the speakers? Follow the signal path. The I/O's on each device is calibrated the same, via scale up/down voltages. Playback. Once recorded.. I agree that you shouldn't have absolute peaks beyond -6 on Playback from the clean master file. Why? That's where we can start collecting unintended AD converter sensor artefacts, that can ADD to an already clean signal master. Again... Not necessary and may cause problems down the chain with gear not calibrated for it. Output Masters.. (Mix for the consumer, not the studio) Output values are exactly the same, absolute peaks at -12dBfs, let the averages fall where they may, you are SAFELY IN THE SWEET SPOT. The cleanest Quality sound you can get, with no measurable Input Gain Distortion at the Hot end and Noise floor at the other, is with absolute peaks under -12dBfs. Aiming a few dB's even lower than that, actually gives you more headroom away from system distortion, not less. So now that we have a clean, mixed 2 track Master, ready for Playback, those values become even more important. Why? Simple think about the output calibration on every user Playback device on the planet.. (of your final stereo master file) You guessed it.. (even the user calibrate devices have a factory default of -18) So to put it simply. If you want the most listeners (anywhere in the world) to hear as close to your original master as possible, then calibrate the master to, the input to the power amp for those consumer earphones or speakers. -12 Absolute Peaks all the way through to the final playback is the best you can get out of (almost) any gear, especially cheaper gear that will break up faster than say a mic with better build quality. You can't go wrong using those values on a world scale, with values all over the place.. Sure you can push a 'clean' master all the way up to +8 (AVU) -10dBfs if you want, but you run into the same problem as Andrew Shepp did, or when we tried cutting a vinyl single to +4 (AVU) (-14dBfs) back in 1976. No one has the gear CALIBRATED to play it back properly, other than studios. We can do anything we like to those zero's and ones, but the second it hits that final power amp to the speakers/plugs in the analogue world, the input/output for that power amp is calibrated to -18. The entire process from start to finish is, scaled up or down voltages. The Digital part is purely representational of those voltages. That's all there is to it.. -12 all the way and you're sweet. Benefits... Never sweat on levels again. Minor variations in track to track volumes makes Mastering a snack. Everything in the chain works at it's best. Less computer resources needed. Sound quality translates better across multiple playback algorithms and file types. Using the same value end to end, not only takes out the guess work with confidence, it saves you piles of TIME, leaving more time to create. Equipment manufacturers and technology have achieved staggering improvements to gear specs, so what about the rapidly adopted standard by Spotify of -14LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale)? Simple. You can either let them push/pull your clean master to their standard, or do it yourself. It will be clean. I don't bother, but oddly enough, most of mine are sitting close. As far as I can work out, that technically the safest way to get a signal from signal input to speakers .. Clean.. (regardless of what you've done to it in the mix) The entire signal doesn't have any unwanted extras.. Got it? Ok. Having said all of the above, all that's left is the content and if that's not much chop, then it doesn't matter what gear you have, or even how you use it. Any thoughts... ? Always happy to learn more. Can't find the comment now, but if you have no way to turn up or down the input, head for the operating system sound prefs and do it there. Keep up the good work.. All the best Cheers Pete

If I can't get in a soundproof booth, what is a good level for input level to hover around when no sound. ie ambient bedroom?

Brother Wayne do you recommend this for all forms of music Rock, Blues, Contemporary etc ?

@waynewav

6 жыл бұрын

Yes and for all instruments.

PT is calibrated for -18db. Although -6db can still be ok at times for peaks and transients is not optimal for gain staging a signal. Not sure where you get your info.

Wayne.wav , going to school for enigerring , thanks for the great tips !! ...question?... what other tricks of trade can be used for adding lil extra "ump" to male and female vocals, to highten they voices ?... thanks in advance.

I'm a singer and here is a tip. Get a good singer to begin with. Most of the people recording today are mediocre vocalists on a good day and the engineer bends over backwards trying to make them sound half decent. If you have to slap autotune on a track I would suggest getting another artist:) Ask yourself this - do you need all kinds of tricks on the drummer, guitarist, bassist, or horn section? Do you need to slap autotune on them? Or are they just great musicians? A vocalist should be as good as the rest of the band:)) For close to half of my life, there was no internet or autotune and if you wanted to get on the radio, you had to sing like Gladys or Barbra or have a band as tight as James Brown (who is a phenomenal singer). You couldn't get away with "tricks". But if you want to watch an old engineer show some common old school methods for handling vocals watch this video by Warren Huart. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6t9vJVuc6SnZbw.html

Think you could do a de-essing video or a live mix session?

Why am I just discovering you 😣😣thanks bro!!💯💯💯

Hi Wayne, I'm looking around to buy a new computer going from a windows machine to an Imac - In your experience about the size of the machine would you say that 21,5 inch is enough for home recording or would you advice to go for 27 inch - I know its a personal choice, however, your advice on the size of the screen would help there you maybe worked with both sizes...thanks in advance

Excellent video, I just aim for -12 input level with the occasional louder peak of -6

I love you Wavy
