A sneak peek of Illangelo's 'Inside The Track' series in which he reveals how he captures and enhances The Weeknd's iconic vocal performances
We're delighted to bring you a series debut featuring the wonderfully imaginative producer and engineer Illangelo! Hosted at OCL studios in Alberta, this video installment takes you on a deep dive into the creative process behind 'Alone Again', the opening track of critically-acclaimed album 'After Hours' by The Weeknd. In great detail, Illangelo reveals the software and methods he used to build the lush soundscapes, pristine vocals, and punchy low end heard on this immersive mix. With two different Ableton Live sessions, he shares the elaborate signal chain applied to Abel's vocal, his broad palette of effects, the master buss treatment, and so much more. Aside from demonstrating an array of mix techniques, Illangelo discusses his philosophy of “painting” with sound and imparts his vocal tracking workflow!

Protools is not a requirement if you are a Record Producer. Most DAWs are cross compatible with each other or you can bounce everything down to STEMs. Oak Felder does everything in Logic Pro, Vocal session everything. He doesn't use a Recording Engineer as he acts as both the Vocal Producer and Engineer when working with his clients in the studio. I do the same as well that produces entire songs in Studio One for my clients. I can littery open Protools sessions in Studio One verse vica.

When you show the effects you use it means you understand that is not about the plugins.

TBH I have an account and although he showed some stuff he did not go into his "secret sauce" master channel processing. He even said that if he took it off the whole track would sound different. Kinda defeats the purpose IMO. I really wanted to like it but compared to other producers and mixers he was witholding fr. When I can see the entire session of a cardi B track with Leslie. Just my opinion, still thankful but I was definitely upset at the end

He contradicts himself by saying "the reason why it works is inside your head, within your creativity". Apparently creativity doesn't also apply to all the parameters on your plugins or how you combine plugins... Why would anyone that spent years grinding to find their own sound just tell everyone how to sound exactly like them? Takes the magic out of their individuality.
