You have just created the standard for learning how to mix vocals on RU-vid. You may not have even realized but this video is gonna blow up and people for years will be citing this one. Mark my words
Dude. Your vocal chaining is insane. Sounds incredible. After using FL studio for a year, the transition into Abelton is extremely exciting for me and this video is incredibly helpful. Good shit son 🔥🔥🔥
this puppet is about to change the way i look at audio forever. I create voiceover demos for people and I've been using doubling to cut through a lot of the backing tracks. The simple HP/LP trick you use on the EQ for doubling is definitely going into this next demo. I just tried it out on a previous demo and it sounds fantastic. It's true what they say. You never know how much you don't know. You've have clean producing down to a science.
Does anybody think about how much work it’s gotta be to make a puppet look like he’s talking AND producing at this level!? I almost want to see a behind the scenes video but it might kill the magic. Such good content, man - I’ve been at this a long time and still learning so much from these.
I totally agree with Claybo! 2 years after his comment and here I am stunned by how my vocals have turned out after the Vocal rack mix!! Great going Stefan!
So many moves in less than 30 minutes, I love that you take a second to quickly note why each move is made. I have been recording at home and learning mixing online for a few years now. Nothing compares to the content you provide. This video in particular is packed with insight and great advice. Thank you so much for sharing this!
HOLY SMOKES! Been a big fan since I found you in Feb, but this one just blew my mind. Thank you so much for cracking my brain open and pouring so much sauce in.
"I don't know about you, but that sounds like the sauce to me!" (as puppet looks dead at the camera!)😭⚰💀🤣 Some of the BEST content on YT, hands down...especially since I'm an Abe head! ✍🏾📝🏆 Hymn
Can you do a tutorial on the arrangement of a drop? They are really tough to get right and it'd be great to see how a professional puts together the elements.
I love this and am learning a lot. Why did you choose to go with EQ after compression? I’ve thought EQ would be adjusted before adding compression. Ty🎉
This work and your videos in general are amazing! A quick question I have is with regards to the parellel compression you perform at first in the chain. If you always allow the dry vocal to be present and simply mix in a varying degree of (and volume) of compressed vocals, then how do you achieve overall vocal uniformity in terms of leveling? Wouldn't the dry signal have the original, untreated peaks that would either stick out or you'd have to seriously reduce its volume to avoid trigerring the final compressor/limiter? How would this chain achive maximum vocal loudness?
This is extremely comprehensive and elaborate! The best mixing tutorial Ive seen on RU-vid, thanks Reid! Ive ignored your videos for too long on my feed lol
thank you very much for the tremendous contribution, i am interested in ableton but i think the drawback is if you can make a good mix in ableton just by using 12 return channels and sends, i am interested in this daw i think it is fantastic but that would be the drawback and so i ask you as a professional user, it is necessary to move to another daw to make the mix after the arrangement, beats or composition, soi of those who like to do everything in a daw and not be here to go from daw to daw. thank you
Reeeeid so many people are asking this: Would you normally EQ and compress the original signal before the Audio Rack? You didn't do anything like that in the video but it must go somewhere, right? :( Also: Are you just letting them reverb/delay effects be like that or do you compress-sidechain them to the original signal so they don't muddy the vocals?
Why would you bring down the volume of the individual tracks instead of the group on the BGV? Wouldn't that affect how the compressors behave on the group, thus giving you a different sound?
great video, i learned a lot.. question, where does EQing vocals adding gates and stuff come in? should that be done on the dry chain? do you have or could you make a video on a vocal chain using either free plug ins, or ableton plug ins? (eq and all that good stuff)
