I always use the Magneto in Nuendo. Its warmth is mushy and hot at the same time. It has been in Nuendo since the very first version 1.5 from back in 2000.
Very interesting tutorial, but, yes there's a 'but'... i'm french and the choosed voice / words are very very hard in my ears ;) Thanks again for all your work !
I have matched a vocal chain with Cubase stock plugins - exactly same sound like my Waves 1176/LA2A chain (you have to adjust a bit, but it actually works!) Hint: in a full arrangment with many other tracks you can´t hear the difference. Great times...
Hi Chris, Thanks for this very practical steps for mixing vox. Could you make a video about using Reverb and Delay on this vocal? I'm so curious about using Slap and Long Delay as well.
Hey Alain...Nop, it's the same as sending the signal on a Bus. An EQ added on the Bus or duplicated track will create phase shifts, and that's normal, and not necessarily a negative issue, might be more noticeable on low frequencies of bass instruments
Hi Chris I bought the SSL UF8 and got the channelstrip 4kb plugin with it. But where do I put the plugin? Do I do that on the first insert Slot in the mixer of Cubase? Or is there a summing slot in the mixer? Thanks Chris Gr.Ness
Hello i have a question: shouldn’t be „peak compression” before saturation (after eq and deesser) because otherwise the peaks are getting more saturated than RMS which would be more pleased effect of saturation? 😊
Thanks Chris. I applied your ideas to a vocal I'm working on at the moment and it immediately sounded better. The setup is now saved as my default insert chain for vocals. Do you have other such advice for guitars, bass, drums....? I realise that the context of the recording can mean big differences but maybe you have a "go to" setting for the start of a project? Anyway, thanks again for all your insights.
Hey Chris, for the parallel compression you use a bus. I suppose that is "post". When you apply parallel compression by duplicating the track, you are likely to run into trouble quickly because when there are many fader moves these also need to be done on the duplicated compression track. Am I seeing that correctly? Sincerely
Yes, I use a Bus (Group or FX channel) in Pre Send, when I use a VCA Fader to control both channels for Fader Automation, if these 2 channels are routed in a Group channel, that I then Automate the Fader volume, like in this video, then don't need a VCA, and my Vocal Send to the PArallel Bus can be Post or Pre, it doesn't matter since the Fader level of the Vocal channel will not move...The Vocal Group channel will, if automation is added later. Hope that helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9dTjWZhJb5Q.html
Fabulous Video and as usually very practical. I am looking forward to see your way to deal with the Reverb and Delay by using also stock Cubase Plugins. Thanks a lot.
Hi, Chris do you think that Cubase stock plugins have the same sound quality as 3rd party plugins (aliasing etc) , if not in which area it s started to be toonoticeable that it forces you to use something else (3rd party plugin or hardware)?
Yes, I do think Stock plugins are pretty good, and I do work with other plugins. I made a video a couple of years ago about this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hzs1yWaKBH4.html
@@mixdownonline thank you, i re-watch your video (i forgot it) and it was what i understood to but i don't have too much experience with cubase fx plugins => i used cubase since sx3 , so i'm so used to not use stock plugins (except frequency 2 for the multi side chain and track gain/high pass/low pass filter and variaudio) maybe i should try to use them now and maybe i could sell some of my 3rd party plugin...(but as i am writting this it might be a bad idea if have to reopen older project..🙂).
