Managing Breaths in Your Vocal Production 

Amazing! I have about 8 hours of voiceover I'm working on and I was getting really frustrated at the idea that I would have to spend a ridiculous amount of time de-breathing in automation. This is a real saviour!!

My favorite trick for getting radio vocals is watching the Musician on a Mission RU-vid channel!!! You guys seriously rock. You have changed my life. Thank you 🙏🏽 thanks 😊

Absolutely brilliant, thank you 🙏

gamechanger! thanks for sharing this sick technique

this is gonna help out so much. i was going thru super tediously and adjusting volume levels to quiet breaths down after using the waves debreath plugin as well. the plugin works pretty good but i thought they could still be heard just a little too much in comparison to other music i was comparing to on spotify that sounds very professional and clean. your method came out great

What a fantastic video. I’ve been using debreath for so long but never used this technique. I’ll try it soon. Can’t wait. 😇🙏🏽🎙️

Wow! brilliant trick Thank you much 🙏🏼 one of the best RU-vid channel for a reason ❤️

Love this trick. Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you for sharing it

This was brilliant dude thank you. wow.

such a good tip！all the love

SO sick. Thank you for sharing this. Definitely going to be getting DeBreath soon!

This technique doesn't always work. DeBreath sometimes extracts breaths along with initials of the following vocals, and it results in a clipping sound. For a 3 min radio ready song, I would always recommend going manually. Takes hardly 20 minutes.

Brilliant, thank you!!!!

Clever. Good trick.

Great Stuff Dylan....Learned a lot from this 13 min video....Thanks for sharing.

wow. this is very educative. thanks

WOW WOW WOW Thank You very much! it's so smart! ♥

You the best man!

Great tips!

Genius! Thank you

Very helpful. Thank you.

man, you are geniuse, thanks a lot

Cool stuff, thx for the tip!

Awesome trick! Often for me de-breathing it's just another aspect of the Melodyne process. You can turn down the amplitude of the breaths as part of the vocal-tuning work flow- but this technique is super handy for easily being able to effect the breaths all at once. Thanks man!

Lovly video

GENIUS

Great content thanks man

Thank you... Thank you... Thank you Guys ... Musician on a Mission is THE BEST ... Guys, your Channel is like my university... 🙌

With your stile of mix the nun breath vocals could be 💯% clean after putting strip silence on vocals . And slight eq on debreath track . Amazing tech .

I hav a macro in Cubase 4 taking down breath. Selecting dem & hit da shortcut. Takes sum time but I still like 2 do it manually cuz I only keep breaths dat r needed. No plugin knows what I really want

beautiful technique, i appreciate the knowledge...

That's the key! You can control the volumes of the breathes. Gate also helps

Thank you. We actually were doing this manually with volume automation. Big mistake 😥

I've been doing it manually for what seems ever cause sometimes the WAVES debreath plugins give me false positives. When I saw this it is such a simple hack to sort the debreath issue. Will be trying it soon, I see my workflow has a bright future.

Thanks! I will be needing this very badly.. hope to get a winter sale for 10 bucks. Haha…

Ty.

Very nice idea and reflection. But... I'm still wondering what we can do in a live mix environment ?

this is really a good trick to use an extra track on the breath, I will try that out, to be honest I removed the breath all the time

I use the Nectar 2 breath plugin; takes out all the manual work.

Will this program work with other programs like Digital Performer?

I'd be glad if you can kindly give me an idea on your recording gears(like the condenser mic you used, pop filter, audio interface). Thank You

Interesting! So you keep the breaths completely unprocessed. Is it possible that the processed vox and unprocessed breaths can sound unnatural together?

Hello sir...I am shubh from India....firstly thanks a lot for this video and your channel, it's marvelous thanks again. I just wanna know how can make my vocals sound soothing (recorded on a bright mic TLM 102)....In bollywood I don't know that do they do but the vocals sounds really soothing also upfront after mixing and mastering......please listen to any arijit singhs song let us know whats the magic behind...please sir🙏

For the new track that I bounced in place after hitting ok it created it as a new muted track with the option that won’t unmute the new breath track. Any advice ?

wow

What if you just want the breath out and don't want to buy DeBreath? Do you do a crossfade between the two sections once the breath is removed? I did two mic tracks on a classical guitar and I can hear myself breath in a few times between sections. That breath is on each track.

What about backing vocals ????

Very nice. Is there any similar technique for treating "s"sounds?

This is an amazing trick, and I really would love to use it. I bought DeBreath and did everything exactly how you did, but DeBreath takes out some of my actual vocals on the "voice" track, so unfortunately I can't do this trick. Maybe it's a bug or something.

would this work for garageband as well?

👍👍👍great🙏🙏🙏🙏

what app did u use im in post production of a new single

hey. thank you. but why you not only bounce in place the main vocal track once selecting only breath?

How to do this bounce in place in fl studio

were is the gain staging for vocal gain

When you do the Bounce in Place... how do you keep the track in MONO? Whenever I do the BIP... it becomes stereo!

i am right in thinking you should not be adding dynamic compression to the "breath" part of the vocal once it has been separated?(because you don't want to increase volume of the breath)... But it's ok with tonal compression because that gives that "spitting out" effect that you talked about in a previous video? Thanks

I think a gate is the traditional way to deal with breath via the threshold.

dope trick

sir how to do the same in Android phone..???

Funny that I got to this video because I am not liking the waves de breath plug-in and I was looking for different options. It can be so finicky and takes way to long to dial in to where it’s not chopping out words. Your take is interesting and I’ll give it a try.

Nice tutorial. Confusing as hell though when you created duplicate tracks where you were just running the same process with the original audio file, but just changing the plugin parameters you wanted to bake into the bounce...So much easier to follow if you just bounce one with the plugin set to "voice" then rename the new track, and then go back to original track and change parameter to "breaths" and bounce again. Both times it will create a new track and you don't have to confuse yourself with more tracks just to duplicate the original file that you're bouncing in place anyways....

Since the processing just makes the breaths louder the first step which lowers them would seem to be adequate...it really only matters on quiet songs. I don't hear the breaths on the song I'm doing now because it's a dance /rock.

I tried the Waves plug-in demo and it did not work. And "Command D" made a duplicate vocal track without copying the actual vocal tracks (I highlighted the vocal tracks to duplicate - maybe I should COPY instead of "Command D"?

Hi, couldn't a noise gate also get this job done?

This song name please 🙏🏻 ☘️

Why don't you just put the debreath as the first plugin so it won't get compressed, eqd signal?

Damn I been manually taking breaths out for years

And what do we do about the lip-smacking? I'm the worst for it in the studio! :P

easiest solution without 3rd party plugin, is add a noise gate, set it that it only takes the voice and cuts the breath, duplicate, an invert the gate.

Life hack

but every song on radio and album of a big artist, they take the breathes out completely

the vocale is not in _18db the gain is satured

Sup bro

8:20 that's what you came here for

Good video but please get to the point faster

thank you. but if u have a good singer than no need of this.
