i'd like to continue videos with mixing on the typical vocals. a non treated room with more of the $500 and lower microphones and interface pre amps. i find that these videos are helpful when i'm mixing stems that have awesome sources, but not so much the bedroom musicians. would love a series of that here and there.
i understand what you're saying, but his approach here doesn't rule out bedroom recordings and less expensive setups. 99% of what he's doing could be achieved with free or stock plugins, and you could replicate what he did on the way in with plugins as well. waves clarity and izotope rx are useful solutions if you're dealing with ambient noise or reverb in your recordings. as austin mentioned, it's crucial to get the best source before mixing. bedroom artists might not have the convenience of a treated room and outboard gear, but there are a million other ways we can get a great recording, and how you achieve it depends on your unique situation and what your ears like or don't like. sometimes food looks better when it's on someone else's plate. your audio might not be as bad as you think, and perhaps you've let your physical limits also limit what you think you can do. as long as you keep the mindset of always learning, training your ears and getting a good performance, you can get great results on any budget. keep going! 👊
Don't think I've ever commented...just want to say that I love your videos, your music and style, the effort and input to provide all of us amazing quality information so we can also strive to do our best. I've watched probably close to all your videos more than twice now to make sure I did not miss a thing...😀

ffs man, just a snippet but what a GREAT song! just love it
Hi Austin, fantastic video as always! Can you do a video about vocal pocketing? For some reason every time i try to manually align vocals it gets all weird. Perhaps you‘ve got some tips! Cheers!
Very Impressive Work! Thank you for this gem! I gotta suggest a video on an overlooked aspect of vocals which is the production. I came to realise this from a video that Nick Mavromatis did. Everyone focuses so much on the mixing when it’s only 50% of how to get a good vocal. Check out his episode on vocal production!
No, I should've probably shown the hardware or mimic'd the software. It was just attack between 6 and 7, release as fast as possible, 3-5 DB of gain reduction at 4:1 ratio. Standard vocal compression stuff.
Hey Austin, do you happen to have a video on how to make adlibs like chase atlantic? They're so ambient and it just sounds so good. If you have any videos please direct me!!
@@MakePopMusic ohmygod please take your time if so! I always find myself coming back to your videos so that'll be great for me!! Thank you so much ;w; 💖
Can you make a video on the possible settings regards Cubase performance. I use a 11gen i7 with a fare amount of ram SSD, etc. But struggle performance wise especially when mixing adding plugins, etc. I've noticed you add the same plugins mostly on all your vocal tracks. If I only do 2 or 3 my computer does not want to play a long.
I’m crying cause I just can’t get it to work to mix my vocals. Been trying so hard with fl studio. Is there any project file out there that I can use as a preset? I’m so down
Hey perfect video gonna try it tomorrow. I have a question for vocal recording for modern RnB. What do you think it's better : recording with 1073 (uad) or voxbox (uad)? Illangelo say that he use often the voxbox for the weeknd song :)
Man I dont understand one thing. It doesnt work on BUSes? I mean the big verb. In this way, I must duplicated all like my 20 vox and on all this doubles insert the vintageverb and compressor and EQ on every single one of em?
There's the free TAL-Chorus, which does the Juno thingy, and it's great! Prooobably a more interesting widener effect than Wider, from what I remember from my experience with it
@@MakePopMusic I tried wider out and it sounds a little robotic. Can you suggest any alternatives for Dimension D. I haven't seen you use anything else other than DD 😅
I think it might be better to use discretion when "fixing" timing issues and "tuning" the vox.. you don't want to suck the humanity out of the vox. There are times where Ive found perfection in imperfection with a client performance. When you said you can't fit a vocal in the mix unless you snap everything to the grid and flex pitch and auto tune the vox isn't exactly the truth. It really depends on the performance and where you are with takes and what the client actually wants. While there's no wrong way to eat a reeses so to speak, meaning Im not saying its wrong to time align and tune a performance. Its just not applicable in all situations. I would have made that clearer if I were the one who made the tutorial. In my professional opinion, peer to peer, absolutes don't exist in mixing engineering.. proven techniques, but not absolutes. The focus should be on creativity. Love your content! Would love your thoughts.
I think you’re taking my point a little out of context. If a vocal has imperfections that suit the song and the artist, leave them. If they’re just glaring mistakes that are distracting, fix them. Sometimes I’ll track a vocal where the emotion and inflection is perfect, but it’s a little flat and a word or two is rushed. In that case, I’d much rather tighten up the small errors and keep the overall vibe and delivery of the take I love. Every artist will have their own vocal style. Some are SUPER tight and perfect, some are completely untouched, and most are somewhere in the middle.
