to anyone confused/doubtful abt the boosting he did on low end, yes typically you want to cut low end out of vocals but today i tried recording a 6 take vocal layer using this chain as reference, it is very dependent on you’re voice e.g if you’re singing voice is low and deep like peeps this can work but if you’re vocal dynamics sit mainly in the mid high end this preset will most likely not be as effective, as well with the right master on the beat (room in the sub) and side chain compressing the vocals with the beat this vocal chain can be very effective, like others have said it’s voice dependent and i would encourage anyone who admires peeps vocal sound to take inspiration from his vocal chain and make it they’re own thinking about what kind of voice you have and what kind of beats you are putting vocals over ps i’m not a professional this is just my experience experimenting myself with what i learnt/took away seeing his process
@@sebastiancarter9570 ikr 😭 I was looking this exact tutorial on RU-vid for over 4 years.. nobody came close, some messed up the panning, some didn't recorded enough layers, some over eqed the vocals making em thin and few people's d3ad a$$ just recorded 1 vocal and promised that "lil peep" sound I was like.. burh 💀 come on now
Wild. This can be done with 3 or 4 plug-ins nowadays. Incredible when you compare the dry vocals and how they were able to make them HUGE. I never listened to him but RIP. Rappers from his time were "the new era" but the industry USED them for a quick profit then fed them drugs until they died..It's a dirty industry. To any young aspiring musician STAY INDEPENDENT. Praying for a record deal is not what it once was.
Man just seeing this gives me tons of ideas… imagine pitching down two layers and pitching up two. Then stereo out the normal pitch, maybe that sounds dumb but I’m def gonna try that
Really interesting. His vocals always had this compressed, distorted, almost dry/crackly sound to them. A rare example of an artist who created a vocal processing chain very unique to them that nobody has ever really tried to replicate
@@shovv1716damn well I’m thankful for what we got. Let me bleed was always interesting to me. I could never tell if the background high vocals are him or like generated harmonies. They are amazing tho
For anyone looking at this video and thinking you are going to copy his chain, you must understand something fundamental when it comes to vocal mixing; This vocal chain was created around his own unique voice, it sounded the way it did not because of the settings alone but because of the synergy between those settings and his voice. It’s usually recommended to avoid vocal presets (like the ones you can buy online) because a real mix should be centered around what works with your voice, not someone else’s.
Yup. And that's why I tried to tailor fit this chain in such a way that it sound good to my voice as opposed to completely copying it ;) The Multiband Compressior settings change my life tho.. I always used to wonder how to get that tight low-end without eqing the life outta my vocals making em thin af. Well, now I know and it made my day XD
