Now it's time to work on mixing in the lead vocal! Tony Shepperd guides you through the process of mixing the lead vocal in this session. Full product available here: www.groove3.com...
I'm a pro (global project level) engineer myself of +30 years, and in that time - I've seen a lot of great engineers, but I can tell just from this clip that Tony Shepperd is an OUTSTANDING pro, and a great top shelf person to work with! What a great video I just wish I could upvote more than a single thumbs up.
Now is the 180 on the left ad 280 on the right Delay set because of the tempo of the tune or is it round about , general setting based on the rhythm of the vocal?
I have always wanted to learn how to mix with hardwire. I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around the wiring even using a path-bay....I do not see any videos on how to re-wire your patch-bay?
Great video's Groove3. I am a big fan and have gained so much inspiration and knowledge from you that I've just started my own channel. It would be greate to collaborate with you on a video, so if you agree then let me know. Take care 😊
Hey Tony my last name is Sheppard yea ard, anyway, love the video man, I have one question do you use any compressor or eq while in the process of recording a vocal help.
I would recommend getting a tube pre and a compressor for the rack. Most decent tube pre's have EQ so you can lightly EQ the vocal and have most of the work done for you and use light compression with the compressor. I have a limiter, compressor, and noise gate in one chained to a tube pre with EQ. Not too much and not too little. Later on I will add the compression using plugins and EQ later on depending on what genre of music I am mixing. The vocal in R&B is the main instrument basically so it needs to be crystal clear with as little noise as possible and a lot of the "glitter" effect. Metal I spend more time on the drums to get that crisp clear sound and those heavy tones and notes with as little mud as possible and some boomy lows. Rap has a lot of low low end but the vocals are crystal clear but with no glimmering on the vocal like R&B with a lot of presence to understand the words clearly.
Danny O'Moore My style is boomy lows with crisp highs not much mids. It just sounds ugly to me. The standard I am talking about is the compression on vocals. For example, anything rock, the compression on the vocals are squashed a bit but you wouldn't do that with R&B or Rap.
