Thanks for watching, and shoutout Reid and Karra for being so generous with their process! For more in depth tutorials check out my online class :) learnmonthly.com/andrew
Is there a way to straight-up download this chain? I'm a logic user who's learning Ableton now for uni and this would be such a good way to mess around with racks!
@@ConorReilly_ you can download the chain also if you're waves plugins they have some ridiculously good presets built into the studio rack that you can load up and mess around with!!
I used ableton 9 lite for 3 years straight before upgrading to the full suite of live 10, but i did all my college work in 9 lite , as i did music production and live sound, and walked away with the highest grade you could get which allowed me to allowed me to go Uni. All i used was the stock plugins. Sure it is limited but with limitations comes creativity.
Ableton full version is very expensive. Ableton suite is very very very expensive :( Buy reason rack intro and use it as a vst. Best bang for buck in terms of instruments and effects.
@@platinumpengwinmusic5564 Take the headphones off - might make it easier to get the pitch right. Just need to use the right mic and then some monitoring. Autotune = BS
@@platinumpengwinmusic5564 Good for you. Just that singers (being a Classical and Jazz one myself) do on the whole have issues with pitching when wearing headphones. It interferes with the singers feedback loop. Something instrumentalists don't have to worry about as they are creating the sounds external to their hearing and body. Autotune sucks as well and today's reliance on it is a sad indictment on the industry.
@@pierrebroccoli.9396 Theres a time and place for autotune, and honestly if it makes the music sound better isnt that the whole point? get off your high horse.
Prop to Andrew for keeping a straight face while talking to a puppet. And these techniques are way too advanced for my need, but it is very interesting and it also shows how much work goes into making a good vocal.
20 years doing this and I still picked up a good tip. "Ducking echos/delays". I've never thought of this but it does make sense. I'll have to experiment with this for sure. Proof u learn something new everyday no matter what your experience.
WOW ANDREW.. I was literally just on Reid's channel checking out his vocal rack setup video and boom! this video comes up. I'm such a big fan of you, karra and reid so this video was AMAZING!
we have 66 million and the only sound treatment the vocalist used was standing with her back to an open wardrobe (with clothes in it obvs plus towels on the doors). we used ableton for the daw but all the fx were freeware.
Man this was a really informative video. That is very nice of Reid and Karra to share so much info since it seems so many popular artists want to keep their setup hush hush. I wish I could afford your class but I still watch every vid as it comes out :)
For the last 3 years i've had a vocal chain set up from Reid , who i didn't know was so successful on spotify, and it freaking slaps. the tutorial also had such a great explanation so you could tweak it to your own thing
Been a fan of Karra and Reid for the longest time, just running the game now it's insane, especially with the vocal label recently developed for Splice. Just game changing.
4:38 I remember I once asked him in his channel if putting the compressor after the de-esser wouldn't basically undo the de-essing and he got a bit upset about it lmfao.
If you had very similar parameters on both the compressor and de-esser then it might start to defeat itself, but as long as parameters are different (attack, release, threshold), then the compressors are really touching two different parts of the signal. I personally probably wouldn’t do it that way because it’s a bit more work for a similar result, but there’s not anything wrong with it.
Basically its dynamic eq on certain frequency range so compressor afterwards would raise levels in relative. Like when you smooth out with eq before compressing
Yeah there's nothing wrong with any approach, it was just funny that a legit question offended him. Maybe its because a lot of others criticized it or something.
thank you for this !!! my vocal chain was always kind of half-assed improvised stuff, but this gave me the motivation to use stefan reid's chain organisation as a template for mine, and I already feel so much lighter when I open a vocal channel :) Pretty sick that he uses only stock too !
Eeeeeeeyyyyyy! Andrew Huang content always makes me happy like a good Sundae. Having Reid Stefan and Karra on is a bunch of cherries on top! Very interesting the move away from reverb towards layering different times of delay. Definitely trying that out!
Ok, so now i have the Ableton adg file of hte coolest vox processing rack, if anybody wants to try without having all the work i can send preset file, if that's ok for Andrew, Karra and Reth. Thank you so much for your videos Andrew!
Awesome video and really thanks a ton for what you guys are doing, 1. Amazing music 2. Amazing production 3. Sharing the knowledge and experience 4. Educating Thank you all and especially Andrew ❤️❤️❤️ Also can anyone tell me what song is that? Couldn't find it on Spotify. Thank you :)
The thing about less bass/more bass only applies to microphones fixed to a cardioid polar pattern. It’s called the proximity effect. Very prominent on dynamic mics but if your condenser mic is set to Omni mode, it won’t be a problem. Excellent video BTW!
Which parameter does the 'Bright' Macro modulate? Really cool collab and thanx for sharing the Sauce. I did similar things, but recreated this one and it's really good :) cheers!
