I use Reaper Spectral Edit to DeEss harsh sounds manually.. Prefer that a plugin. To me it's more precise and natural. I also work the vocals first before any track. Like to get the overall feel and work around it

I use three compressors. 1st ratio 2 fast attack just 1-2 db compression. 2nd ratio 4 fast attack slow release 3-4 db compression. 3d ratio 4 slow attack fast release 3-4 db compression. This way the compressors grabs the signal nice and even. What do you think of this?

I would love to hear more about adding the "perfect" reverb to vocals.

When it’s my vocals, I usually laugh, then cry, and finally delete and beg my children to do it for me.

Haha we've all been there my friend! We are our own worst critics!

I'm just a girl, standing in front of her DAW asking it to not rainbow wheel. Trying to be that 2% in the industry with relatively old, but still sharp assed ears. You're my favourite 'teacher'. The only one who creates music around songs that I actually love and sound like I would want it sounding like. Thanks for doing these videos. They have really played a big role in my 'self-education'.

I feel like if I would have had videos like these 10-12 years ago, I'd be in a totally different place in my music career. It's unreal how great the resources are being able to "sit in" with guys like Marc just doing their thing.

Man, the light just went on for me. If I understand correctly, you are surgically fixing the problem areas before it gets magnified by the compressor and then sweetening the EQ in the area where the surgery took place after compression.

Dude this is the BEST tutorial I’ve ever seen on audio. The instructor is GREAT.

@@xxllx86 well, it’s not that basic. Dynamic EQs use their input audio signal as a sidechain source to trigger a parametric EQ that affects signal amplitude. Multiband compressors split their input audio signal using multiple filters, and the signal from each filter is run through its own compressor; these signals are then summed together to create the output signal.

I know this might seem weedy to some, ... like other aspects outside of my comfort zone are (bass frequencies for ex). But as a vocal producer it's like the shallow end to me! But I'm also a high level vocal coach and this has been fascinating to put a Hz number to the dreaded 'honk'. And my general dislike of low mids as well (including in my own voice). I help singers shape their 'shell'.. their formant- to help them EQ and compress their own voices in the moment. (Why producers love working with me when they track vocalists- especially for radio where the stakes are high!) to see how you can subtly curb some of these 'plug in' triggers before putting it through your chain, is seriously everything to me. The vocal formant for those wondering is like this... think of a trumpet mouthpiece and how your lips buzz against it and it sounds like a duck call. When you stick the horn on which is the resonator, the sound become that of a horn. Stick a larynx on the vocal folds and voila- resonance... but like every human, they come in all shapes and sized and the vocal tone and even pitch or pitch perception can be influenced. It's so fascinating to see the digital side of this. Great way to start a Monday. Grateful for this. Watched it like 3 X now lol

I'm only a beginner at mixing but I always find vocals to be the trickiest thing to get to sit well in a mix.

He’s all the way right on with those dynamic freq edits. Amazing. Simple. Essential.

As ever - brilliant advice and tips. Thanks PLAP and MDN.

I absolutely adore Marc Daniel's videos. Thanks Warren for sharing these!

Love this series a lot! Thank you so much Warren and Marc!

This was solid gold! Thanks for this video - it goes enough to detail to really add value :)

Another very educational video by Marc Daniel. I am always looking forward to seeing new ones.

Another great video. Your mixes really do sound amazing! It's nice to be reminded of these tricks. Thank you.

I always enjoy watching your educational videos. I'm always learning something new each time. I love the reasons why you do everything you do. Very clear! Thank you for what you do.

Great video as always, thanks Marc and thanks Warren

Awesome video yet again! Super handy tips which has inspired me to listen more carefully to my vocals and earlier mixes! Cheers

What a great tip! I think I have watched every Marc Daniel Nelson video online lol, love his way of explaining and the awesome sounding mixes he does

This one of my favorites channels to learn how to mix, thank you Marc!

Fantastic and timely as usual!

Honestly, one of the consistently-best mixing educators on KZread, right now, is Mark Daniel Nelson. Great channel, full of such great content. Thanks, Warren!

Brilliantly explained and demonstrated, thank you!

Dude Thank You....you are always so concise and to the point when you teach something. Best on KZread..I mean it!!!

Hands down the best mix instructor out there. Thanks!

I just need to say thank you so much Marc for these insights and practical tutorials. I have watched and learned from them all and It has really made a HUGE difference for me at this juncture in my learning and understanding of the many tools and how to apply them in creative ways. I'm a huge fan of your work and very appreciative that you take the time to share your knowledge and keep it all creative and fun. I've had big break throughs and several "ah-ha" moments because of it. That goes for you also Warren! I have learned so much from you as well and look forward to all your videos and series. Thank you for turning us on to other great producers, techniques and music these last couple of year. And thank you both for being kind and gentlemen. Much respect!

I am really enjoying watching this guys videos, very very informative and delivered excellently. Thank you very much!!!!

Thanks marc! You are the best my friend 🤘

Really helpfull. Short and straight to the point. Please keep blessing us with those videos I eat them for diner :)

Yo, I am learning so much from you and I really enjoy the content. It most definitely shows that you know what you're talking about. I think I could really see the difference between the effects and eqing you're doing much more easily if you did more before and after sequences when applying your processing! Thanks for making this stuff man!

Marc, this video is my anchor! I'm looking it from time to time to set my focus back on less and smaller cuts and a smoother mind set during mixing the vocals. Thank you!

This man is purely genius

As usual really good, useful, information. Thanks so much!

Love these discussions!

Great advice, trying this out, thanks!

Inspiring tips as always! Thank you so much Marc! =)

Great video. I love how you just made some slight surgical changes and the difference it made.

Great tools like always, Marc thanks so much for sharing your knowlege.

Thanks for sharing. This track is so good!

thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial to learn from your experience

I was just struggling a bit with my vocal mixes. This episode was perfect. Great info. Very helpful. Made a lot of sense, very quickly. Thanks!

This is pure Gold. Going from kinda annoying and pokey to well fitting and smooth in 4 simple moves :)

this vocal treatment is a gem ! tnx

Among all the tutorials out there on YT, I must say Marc's sound always blows me away. He produces deep excitement out of raw music. So great to watch him work. Thank you for sharing

Best mixing channel ever created!

Thanks Marc; I’ll be making use of the Q3’s dynamic EQ capabilities moving forward.

Marc, Bro, I’ve watched your video on your vocal chain. Here are some sort of the same plugins. Love to see you sticking to some core elements of your mixing process. You are a great teacher. Thks

Excellent! Definitely learned something. Thank you!

Great video Marc! I do a similar thing at the start of a vocal chain, filtering using ProQ3 hi pass and lately using Gullfoss to tame the problematic areas and Soothe to de-ess and then going into parallel compression chain consisted of 4 or 5 different compressors to up the lower parts without crushing the natural dynamics. All summed up in a Aux Bus I later automate and process it further if needed.

I'm loving those harmonies

Warren and Marc no words to thanks for so much pro tips. Always a mind blow and change something in my workflow; to better clearly. If i can ask something to the future, make a video with multiband compress on vocals pls. Have great day and thanks again. Mix Like A Pro for me is one of the best channel on KZread.

Great video! Thanks again so very much!

I dug the first take with nothing added........but I could actually hear how the vocal came to life.......what a skill.......thank you for sharing.

I was waiting for new Marc’s tutorial sooo long :) Thank you so much for new helpful video. If I may say, I would love if Marc can make new full mixing video (from start to end) with some newer kind of pop music. That would be amazing. Love all Marc’s mixing videos, but we had some “older” kind of music there. It would be great to see how he mixing something like todays “top” pop music if I said right in english. I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you once again.

What and excellent video about this approach I particularly love (waves F6 being a nice and affordable alternative to ProQ3)… the “no-nonsense” explanation is superb🙏🙏🙏

Great video! I'm an artist trying to evolve into being my own producer and mastering engineer, and this is vital information and something that's just very hard to learn by yourself. More of in-depth technical stuff like this please!

Pure gold! Thanks so much gent's

I think as you. No matter what they tell you. In the end it works. Great great enjoyable series. Keep it up. Love the feel approach fast away from the scientific approach. An artist's approach. Of course it's good to know theory in the background but the ability to go beyond can result in art. Cheers

Thanks Marc, excellent technique, really made that sound great! Something for me to shoot for. :)

An incredibly smart, talented and gorgeous fellow ! Thank you for your great advice

Excellent vid. I used to love the old Nectar and tweak it from there.

NO NO!! the multiband compression is THIS and dynamic EQ is THAT! great video as always ty Marc and Warren

excellent information (again). you helped me save a superb vocal take I did. It had a lot of proximity issues (is that the right word?). Basically I was not keeping proper distance from the mic and it sounded very nasal and honky, but with careful dynamic EQ and compression, I was able to make the best of it. thanks for that. Im just a bedroom producer. Music is my therapy. Your channel is a sublime source. being able to virtually sit with you as you discuss your philosophy, approach, and technique is just....amazing (and that's the RIGHT word).

Subtle. Sneaky. Tricky. Awesome. 🍀

Thanks from Seattle Marc and Warren!

Superb! Thank you.

Hey, Marc! You can create dynamic bands in the EQ display by holding the Alt key (Option on mac i guess) while dragging the result curve or double-clicking in the display. =)
