I’ve watched a lot of reverb tutorials over the past few years. This is probably the most concise one I’ve seen. Very well explained and demonstrated my man. And tip number 5 is a new one for me. So thank you for that too!
Wow, great, clear and easy to follow video! Hearing this made me go to your channel and check out the song in its entirety. Really well composed and catchy song, top notch arranging and mixing. Also the woman singing did a great job. She has a very cool vibe that IMHO really matches the track perfectly. Best of luck to you with your music and RU-vid channel, thanks so much for taking the time to make all of these informative videos and keep up the great work!
Another fun tip for the low-budget home studio folks out there: CLA Epic! It has four different delays and four different reverbs, all of which can be mixed to taste with individual sliders *in the plugin*, high pass and low pass filters on each, and a wet/dry knob so you don't have to put it on a send if you don't want to. I like it a lot on vocals, and I've used it on my drum bus too. It was one of the first plugins I bought when I started recording a couple of years ago because it seemed like such an unbelievable deal, and I still recommend it. It's basically all of these tips in one.
not sure i replied to this tutorial, but it's a killer.....the balance of the delays towards creating a 'specialness' for vox is 'palpable' once these steps are taken....i also applied a small amount of sidechain compression on the 1/8 to boost the feedback a little....truly helpful tutorial
Almost every single video I’ve watched demoing vocal effects and mixing has been centered around an annoying vocal track that I have to listen to for 20 minutes. This is an exception and a great track
I love the tutorials but your killing me with the songs you are using lol i love the channel though I've learned some really amazing techniques and thank you for helping so many of us to learn valuble info and to be ready for whatever is coming after Spotifys reign of terror finally ends.
Hi Chris. A really interesting viewpoint on using delays. Great to see you using the stock Cubase plug-ins too. The Stereo Delay is great sounding and more than sufficient for most recording needs. Cheers.
Really nice tutorials, thanks ! I already look your tips for the reverb it's really usefull and nice explained, i want to improve my skill at mixing as musicien so, i just subscribed ! Thanks again for this work
Awesome video, thanks! Do you use any of these shorter delays together at the same time? Do you insert the reverb after the delay on the same track? Thanks 🙏
As a music creator myself i always say, never depend on the equipments to do the artist homework. Drum machine and protools don't make hit songs. And most of all the hardest part. to create a balance while staying centered the artist need to find music's hole and 💍 CHUCK THROUGH IT. Lol! 🤣 However, I kinda like the melody, but i think the delivery needs justice!
The singer is coming across as pitch perfect...but maybe her vocal line has gone through vari audio... Great job in the vocal effects...I'll be less intimidated using these however for a blues writer I'm used to hearing a way drier vocal line...but will at times do more of a rock tune. Thanks Chris...very helpful.
Great info Chris! Question I have my L. vocal track on a mono channel assigned to a stereo buss/ group. How how do I setup a stereo delay vs mono delay? Thank you so much!
I found your vid very interesting. But afterwards I was glad to make recordings and mixing only on the classical field where tricks like these are not appropriate.
That was a long enjoyable tutorial today, very good! Regarding the concept “more feeling than hearing”, I like how you manage that the slapback delay ends this way. It is hard to hear it, but it is there, causing a global effect! I remember an old video about vocal reverb, where with eq the evident reverb could be hidden from ear, but it was there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vGc_6sUz1_c.html I guess one can experiment with some of the tips here mixing acoustic guitar too.
Hey Chris, great stuff my friend!! I sometimes use a 20 millisecond delay on lead vocals live on a return channel to brighten things up, but this is a whole new way of looking at delay. Thanks for this! A quick non related question for you regarding DI tracks. Recording heavy rock gtr out of Mesa Boogie and gtr player uses wha and chorus at times. One track is the whole sound through mic on cab. Should the DI track be post wha and chorus pedal or straight out of the gtr, or should I record one of each using 2 DI boxes? Not sure what a mix engineer would be looking for. Thanks Chris!
Get the DI straight from the pickups. No point having a DI with effects on it. ESPECIALLY modulation effects like chorus, flangers, octave drops, etc. You have very little flexibility to change the tone once those effects are baked in. And the hard truth: Very few (if any) pedals can outperform modern high end effect plugins. Honestly, you’re better off adding modulation in post through the DAW.
@@Nightmoore Thanks for the advice bud. I used two DI's and recorded both just so I had them. I've never worked with a wha plug-in before. I guess I won't be saying that for long lol. Cheers man!
@@66fitton Nice. You made the right call. That really is the best of all worlds. Now you can re-amp if you want and mix in a whole other rig with that guitar. I know something like a Wah seems dumb to use as a post digital effect, but it's insane how good modern amp plugins are. In the end, it's just a pimped out filter. The wah in Neural DSP plugs and even Amplitube 5 are crazy good. I love playing with a real wah pedal as it's super fun to rock it with your foot, but being able to have total control over the pedal with DAW automation is pretty incredible too. Def worth checking out.
I'm releasing this single on Nov 16th hopefully. I will add a link on this page then. Thanks, glad you like it so far! But you can also listen to some of her music on Spotify. Search for Anne-Clémence Rouffet
