This is a damn good A/B video, most of what I watch on KZread I have to stop watching on my mobile and go to a pair of speakers to hear what's really going on but everything here is translating on my phone just right! Thank you

By far one of the best mixing videos I've seen so far on youtube... Great work 👏

How much visuals can emphasize what we may not hear in a YT video is ridiculous. Fantastic job. Great video! 💯

this is the best video I have ever watch for vocal mixing

waves is my #1 plugins to use for vocals

Nice lesson 😊

Very nice info 🎉

Thanks a ton

Thank🌹❤🙏 great tutoring

Great video. One thing I love to use is the Waves Aphex Vintage Exciter - sometimes on just the vocals, often just on the whole mix. It's easy to overdo it but when you dial it in, it can add air without increasing noise.

Yeah, the Waves Aphex plugin is nice. I have an original hardware Aphex Aural Exciter, but I don't use that a lot (anymore). For that bit of "air" you mention I like to use Waves One-knob Brighter. That is, only after the basic mix is set, if a touch is needed. Even a very low setting can can do it. Maybe try that sometime. I normally record vocal with no tone setting on the input, except some low ("rumble") roll-off.

Could you pls show CLA epic placed in track or send ? Also wanna see plugins route and fader level

Thanks

Is pitch correction done on extreme vocal takes as well?

Wow. It's really as if one could just do everything with Waves plug ins

Wow by far the fastes I see uff🎉

Does Waves Tune work with the latest version of Logic Pro? I’ve read it does not… would be great if it was updated to work with Logic Pro

Step 1 is not necessary. 🤭 The vocalist is world class.

@NEO-TROPOLIS

Жыл бұрын

Not true. Correction is absolutely necessary. Even with a world class vocalist, they are only singing notes according to their mind’s musical reference. Correction aligns the musical pitch with the rest of the song, creating cohesion. It can be subtle and still corrected, it doesn’t have to be all auto-tune esque. When the pitch is in the groove, it’s in step with the rest of the elements of the song.

@@NEO-TROPOLIS it’s very strange that Steve Perry, Bill Champlin, Joseph Williams and tons of other vocalists never needed it during their healthy careers and countless hit records. If you can sing, you very rarely need it and when you do, it’s only a note or two. Not the entire track. Because if you need it for the entire track, you cannot sing.

@NEO-TROPOLIS

@@peevee605 we are talking on two different levels. You’re coming from a talent perspective, where a singer should be able to hop in and hit every note just fine, where your note is correct. Many of those artists came before the time of manual correction with computers. I’m coming from the perspective of a producer and recording engineer, where as I fix the problems I encounter with a vocal with said computers. Not everyone can sing perfectly and with the aid of computers, not many people put forth the effort to perfect their singing abilities when it can be done automatically for them. And yes, it is lazy but effective.

@peevee605

Жыл бұрын

@@NEO-TROPOLIS it is lazy but effective yes. But there is a shift coming also because the tuning has gone out of proportion and practicing a craft got lost to ducklips selfies and social media content making. One of my friends in the business is a hip hop producer. He stopped tuning people and explained to me how he would not have that as his legacy. So when a female singer begged him to tune a very sour high note he simply replied: “If you want that note, sing it.” When she couldn’t, he sent her home. I was just watching a video here with Steve Lukather from Toto amongst others sitting in Sunset Sound Studios talking about how music was made. Given, Toto has also been using the benefit of punching in a note or two or a few bars on an almost perfect take cut live in that room. Heck, they invented AutoTune as a concept. But their work ethic was to nail it in a few takes and that’s where I draw my energy from. It’s two different beasts. The truth might be somewhere in between but my session vocalist is not tuned because he sings in tune and on time. And you would love what he does. It makes your job much easier. To the big masses and in the end of the day, no one gives a shit. Soon we have AI plugins making the very people who can’t sing sound like they sing exactly like Steve Perry, James Hetfield and Freddie Mercury. And that’s when I draw the line. Tech is great when it’s not the goal. Peace and best of luck with your work.

Does any one know the artist and song???

Singer songwriter James Hodder and the is called “One Clean Shot” - due for release early 2023. Produced by yours truly

I love how all the negative comments are always all the way at the bottom lol

Anyone else notice this song is kinda ripping off "fire away"?

👀

Yeah but your already starting with a great singer. That guy could be mixed by a novice and still sound great. This would be way better if you started with not such a good vocal track. Maybe a super emotional performance that's pitchy with varying proximity effect and the faint sound of the dude getting a text in the b.g. Do that and I'll be impressed! And that can happen with a good singer getting a crappy monitor mix and feeling rushed. But I love your plugins and use them on my voice which is not that great to start with.

In my opinion, this whole voice over needed som help, the sibillance is too much for me, and the whole think sounds too light, in my opinion

In other word it`s not listening to a singer but a machine. No more recorded music for me. Even the old songs have been remastered. Digital is crap.

Bro never once mentioned reference tracks or mixing in mono 🤦‍♂️

You're not of help..next time show how you arrive to the effect...not just showing how to balance

I don't like the idea of pitch correction, some of the best ever songs are "imperfect", like Oasis on Morning Glory album. I can't stand "perfect" music :( nice video tho man!

Can we as a society please stop using pitch correction?

Pitch correction: Something that can be fixed in the mix. No talent necessary anymore. Everyone's an "artist" now. Sad.

Here's some great ideas for vocal mixing to achieve "Pro Vocals": DON'T sing somebody else's music, first of all. Sing something NEW. Try singing something that is interesting - an actual melody that is not: just cliché crap, that sounds like every other schlock, pop-whatever, tired, BORING song. In other words, maybe listen to great music compositions, great song writers - not what makes today's top 10 (which is horrid). But, if you're going to do a cover, get the proper permissions/licenses and make it uniquely yours and inherently interesting. THEN, you have a source track to mix that has an actual chance to achieve "Pro Vocals". DON'T make your vocal track sound OBVIOUSLY 'artificial' by using that damn auto tuner plugin. PLEASE. Disgusting. It's better to sound human and have BEAUTIFUL flaws shine through. DON'T OVERCOMPRESS. EVER.
