Remember to listen to your ears rather than getting sucked into the screen, thinking you gotta take out some mud or chop off the low end or boost the highs. And don't just jump straight into playing with the EQ if you've been messing with the track for the last hour+. Go take a break for a few and let your ears reset.
Yess 😭 resetting the ears is vital in mixing since ive focused on it a great deal more recently in my career.. Also great to listen to something of. Similar landscape like a certain song or genre, style of singing and see how u interpret it it sits in the mix
One thing I would add is to use the “peak” mode on the 1st compressor to just catch the peaks and a glue compressor after to glue the vocals harmonically/musically. It is as though using a 1176 + la2a combo.
I would’ve imagined that these are too many compressors on the chain but I guess not if used subtle and effective like this. Also after years I still don’t fully get how to use the Ableton stock multiband compressor…
I love how DAW companies put all this work and effort into "stock plugins" and people spend more than they spent on their DAW when they really don't need to. But it is what it is, I guess.
Do you have any videos for vocals while using a USB dynamic microphone? I know u have one for blue yeti but that’s a condenser. Really love your content
Yes, but the video is not with a usb microphone, but with an inexpensive, called test inexpensive set-up for recording vocals, look at this channel, in this video was also Karra
I’m so glad you asked! Here’s a tour of my studio desk! The section about my vocal chain is towards the beginning ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z0kmf0sTlrc.htmlsi=R3YlPc5qe50dB42O
I have Antares auto turn, fresh air, 2 dessers, multiband compressor,vocal rider, and then some reverb and my cpu is 25-30 % any advice I’m about to give up my vocals sound great. But my cpu usage to high for more then one lane track 😢
@@vjmcgovern I buckled down and bought studio. EQ 8. Ended up being a problem with my acoustics too. I sing with a blanket over my head now lol. Way better
it doesn't matter how you sound.. you must pitch through 100000 new songs a month.. perhaps muddiness is the new trend in this time of saturated cristal clear tracks. gl!
not gonna sound good unless you do a static mix meaning, take off all effects and adjust each track volume, take out harsh Ts and S’s , remove breaths , your record should sound good without effects, your job after is to clean it up and sauce it (great video just thought I’d add my 2 cents lol)
Yes however, This lesson wouldn’t fit into sixty seconds if I mentioned all the nuanced things users need to address before applying their first plugins. The list would nearly be endless, vocal warmups, mic positioning, cables, acoustic treatment, comping, gain staging, clean up breaths, mic selection, reduce harsh syllables, crossfades, remove silence… do I need to add all these things to my short video about an Ableton stock plugin chain?
It’s all about the mic and sound card. If I would put the same chain on my recorded vocal in a 150$ steinberg sound card and 100$ microphone, there’s no way I can achieve the same results with that minimal chain.
That's not 100% true. Sure, 100$ may not be enough, but Mics and sound cards over 250 $ all sound great. Just don't buy the cheapest, but good mid range mics and soundcard that have a decent reputation and u will be fine.
