Oof, still mouth clicks and pops in the after. gotta squash those before the vocal hits a compressor.
Excellent
awesome
Waves is still the best! ❤️
7:10. Is that the Waves Tune or the way she actually sang that part? Listen to 8:29. That’s apparently un-tuned.. weird right?
IT SOUND GOOD
Thats amazing, please share the presets
bro... just her singing itself is crazy good
Okay I hear it 🤔👂✔️ is this what they mean by warm.
i feel like the before actually sounds better than the after. The woman's voice was made way too bright it ended up kinda hurting my ears due to the high frequencies that got increased too much
How much do you generally feed to the bus for verb delay etc ?sounds so good is it a halfway up type thing ? Thanks In advance 😃

All the plugins used on this video is on Platinum bundle too except CLA2A which you can replace with Renaissance Compressor and change the circuit mode from Electro to Opto.
what model are those headphones?
7:10. That’s why I don’t use Waves Tune.

One of the worst things the industry ever did was bring in auto tuning for vocals. Just let this woman sing how she sings.
Anyone else experiencing to much Wave Tune e.g. at 1:07? Such a great voice. That doesn’t seem to be right. Of course, it might meet expectations for „modern“ sounding pop or edm vocals, but - for me - sucks out any feeling. EQ sounds good tough.
I like Horizon Bundle very much. Just update plan is not what i like. Should be free to update, if you ask me. Not many people have money to update every year almost as much as bundle is worth. No offense. Great software thou. 😎🎶🥂

Their strategy seems to be to sell you expensive plugins at an extremely low price and then make money through their upgrade plan

i think what you're after here, is that the vocal needs to be notably 'bigger' ... (the right kind of) compression would be a part of that ... it "needs" a lot more affecting, imho, to become what it could be, and now we're changing the scope and zooming in to a producer's lens ... to me, this vocal (AND the instrumentation) screams a need for Bon Iver effecting / affecting and harmonizing ... the chord progression, and her style of singing, is already almost there ... check it (it will be worth your time) along with affecting to the accoustic instruments, would make this track speak to people in a much more notable way ... i'm tempted to try and stem it just to pull this off ... if it were up for a remix contest, i would do it in a heartbeat.
Waves tune is glitching.
Yeah...that's where my cooking always falls short. The starting ingredients are only average
Mor compression, lol. Sounds good.

Agree with you but please in serial
The piano is too loud or the vocal is too low.
First step, put vocal correction on a vocal that doesn't need it. No need for any more steps as there's nothing you could possibly do at this point to prevent it from sounding like utter crap except remove the Waves tune plugin. I would rather listen to finger nails scraping a blackboard than pitch corrected vocal.
