So, this might be a dumb question but when you record your voice...do you just record it with nothing added or tweaked...in other words "Plain" and then tweak it? Or do you tweak it and then always set it that way?
EXCELLENT video. The only tip I would advise is to explain when setting up the EQ that the settings need to be adjusted based on the individual person's voice. You chart was a huge help and great start but I made some changes that significantly improved my audio. Thank you!!
Great vid, love the simplicity. Maybe just my ears, but although the exciter did add a bright top end, it also introduced a harshness to the “s” sounds that could be tamed with a de-esser.
Definitely agree that a de-esser could've been useful!! Perhaps it wasn't available as a stock plugin within GarageBand. Although you think they would have one! Where do you put your de-esser in your vocal chain? Beginning or end? Thanks!!
@@heyiplaybassguitar There is a de-esser built in to GarageBand, you can try the "Bright Vocal" presets where they have both the De-Esser (by default disabled) and the Exciter in the chain.
Dude this was so awesome. Thank you . My wife and I are getting into podcasting and using GarageBand. This was perfect. Thank you. Checking out your links now.
What about getting rid of the chhhhhh sound. Starting out with VO/Audiobooks and I seem to be getting a bit of that static. Using Synido mic and compressor with IPad and garage band. Trying to do it as free as possible like you mentioned hahah thank you so much for this info
By the way, regarding noise in voice recordings, are you guys aware of "RTX Voice"? At the moment it's not available as VST, works only in selected software like Zoom and needs NVIDIA graphic card to work, but the results are spectacular.
Hi Graham. Informative video, thanks! I was wondering, should i use a de-esser in parallel processing or in series with the podcast vocal? I tired both approaches, but couldn't make out any overall change to the source file itself. Maybe i'm missing a step here? Or there is a gap in fundamental understanding as far as Serial Vs Parallel Processing is concerned. What are your thoughts on it?
Hey man I’m trying to start a pod cast and I’m having trouble mixing my sound I’m trying to get the natural sound I want to send you a clip and ask for your best advice
Awesome video! Thank you! 👏🏽😊 I was wondering if you could do a video about copyright laws and that sorts thing. (If you already have than, oops... my bad.) Thanks again! I hope you have a wonderful day!
I don't understand how you opened the compressor settings - what you were clicking on was off screen in the video - could you please explain with more detail how you got there? Many thanks - Jennifer
for something as simple as a handful of spoken voices, I don't see the need for anything too extraordinary for mixing. also I keep finding out that these amazing albums I listen to, Grimes, Fiona Apple, were recorded initially in Garage Band. It's all about the talent and the choices you make, the ideas are more important than the gear.
monkey dingo he said music, for a podcast or whatever its fine. And again you can use it for music, there’s just no reason to when something like Reaper is free
