@bayareafactorbaby8913 Год назад

What bell eq?

@bayareafactorbaby8913 Год назад

Whats better trackspacer or dynamic eq too carve the beats ?

@neovincibeats Год назад

-25 short term or integrated or true peak

@lifeinthespiritt.v1402 Год назад

Hey brother how are you I just started going back on your videos nice work by the way... got a quick question for you... is it OK to buss both lead vocals, doubles and stabs all together ... because I hear you have to process the doubles differently from the leads ??? Please help thanks ❤

@mattlee4910 2 года назад

Ahh, Thanks Sean! Applied this step by step and finally i'm on the route to the vocal chain I need! Turns out I've been applying too much processing and pushing things too hard. I loved how much more subtle your moves were but had MUCH bigger impact on making the vocal sound full. Niceone!

@commonsense5188 2 года назад

One of, if not the best music tutorial channel on YT. I've learned a lot from Sean over the years, but half the time I just throw his videos up because the man speaks well and is relaxing to listen to on top of being very informational. Kudos as well for having a great balance of articulating and showing what you're doing without it getting boring like a lot of channels suffer from, while at the same time not being over the top flamboyant and fake like a LOT of YT channels as well. Great work Sean. I've watched just about all your videos several times and will continue to do so.

A REQUEST Sean! Please can you make a tutorial how to basic make a Track and mix it to a 2 track before dubbing the vocals. would really appreciate that, like this trutorial above

@247dmarley Год назад

This is a unique approach to getting a clean sounding track fast. Ive never seen anyone route a vocal stack to a send and process the group as one unit like this. I also liked the sidechain EQ on the 2-track... Money, I dont know why I never thought of that! Great video! As someone who records with less than adequate hardware and in a less than Ideal space I can definitely make use of these tips. Keep grinding and Stay Blessed!

@liberalismisamentaldisease8233 Год назад

why would you not. All done on the same recording on the same mic, pre, and if vocal produced probably should be dynamically similar.....

Because you present yourself as one having a quiet demeanor, the power of the message was surprisingly forthcoming . That being established, it doesn't mean that you don't have a tranquil demeanor... obviously, I broke one of the rules I apply to myself.."Don't let the smooth taste fool you". At any rate, it's time for me to get back to the video. As always..thank you, so much for sharing!💪🏿
