This is liquid gold!! I always try to mix and balance volumes at the lowest possible volume to make sure the importan elements are heard correctly under any circumstance. When all is loud you get biased by the volume and everything sounds full.

@officialWWM 11 месяцев назад

Yep. One of the best tips I ever got was to turn it right down as low as possible, just like Colt does. If you can still hear everything, you are good to go.

@PlottingTheDownfall 11 месяцев назад

I remember back in about 97-98, I worked for an AM talk radio, producing a talk show which meant I also had to mix bumpers and commercials and I remember hearing my first music bed through the Orbans and other processors on the other end. it was very, very enlightening AND different sounding from FM. Taught me a lot about mixing for the delivery. When I was composing and mixing for TV - same thing. Had to be real careful with the lows and highs.

@Travahntiondabeat 11 месяцев назад

When mixing hip hop and r&b, I typically level match the lead vocal to the snare/clap.

@splashfizz 11 месяцев назад

Thanks. You helped clarify and answer the very questions I've had on this topic! I kept on finding myself creating sound files where either the vocal was lost in a room full of other musicians (musical tracks) or sounding like a singer is standing really close to you, the listener, overwhelming everything behind. I think your method will really help.

@houseofjesseworship 11 месяцев назад

@simonhirstmusic 11 месяцев назад

I actually find vocal comping more accurate pitch-wise when comping relatively quietly too. In my experience having loud monitors offers most things more perceived energy, which in turn can make pitchy vocals harder to pick up on. So I’ll generally comp something quietly, and then listen back with some volume to see how it translates. And repeat until it’s there!

@wavemastering 11 месяцев назад

Very good video that will help more junior engineers…I always judge vocals levels by turning right down the volume. This is how we always did it in the past, but you’re totally right that it’s genre dependent and indeed, I deal mostly with rock, blues and country and agree with your levels there 👍

@lukeromito 11 месяцев назад

@couchlockstudios 11 месяцев назад

Hey Colt, is it safe to say that the louder and denser the mix, the more that saturation and harmonic content comes into play and becomes handy on the vocal in order to bring out the perceived loudness without overdoing the volume? (Aside from the carving).. TIA.

@marvsowell684 11 месяцев назад

@kaislivesoundchannel4706 11 месяцев назад

This technique is well known, but I use a very odd version of it. I use my headphones not wearing them, they hang on my keyboard stand next to me. It is like listening to my mix, while my neighbor plays it with his window slightly open. And it does the trick very well.

@leesims 11 месяцев назад

Hey Colt, I love your channel. I have a question. I have an Apollo Twin, and I am wondering when you switch between you main monitors and you Auratone do you have an AB box that you use? I am certain you know my Apollo has an XLR out to my speakers that I can control with the twin plus, a line out that I can control with the speakers volume control, does your system work the same or can you control both sets of speakers with the Apollo? Thank you in advance for your time. Lee

@1176hambone 11 месяцев назад

After tweaking, do you drop the fader down a little and then push it back in?

@golfmanbil 11 месяцев назад

Colt, I struggle with this a lot and being an old guy, I go back to listening to music like ( Alabama). Their vocals seem to be way louder than the rest of the mix. When I listen to your mix I feel that the vocals are not loud enough. Could be that my age hearing loss is preventing me from hearing the vocals clearly. I'm not sure but I will give this method a shot. Thank you

@lilwombat 11 месяцев назад

i also feel like the vocals arent loud enough im in my 20s. i think its still subjective how loud but the technique can help to be consistent

@joanfranch 11 месяцев назад

I use a compressor for leveling, no errors there.

@ColtCapperrune 11 месяцев назад

As do I, I compress a Vocals super hard. But this is intended to be done in addition to compression.

@joanfranch 11 месяцев назад

@@ColtCapperrune no, I mean for leveling elements, a provisional compressor as reference to clearly see the exact point where an element passes in front of other, it changes it's reaction and makes it visible at the GR meter, so it's reliable on any monitoring environment

@miltoncarrillo8993 11 месяцев назад

Do you think somebody wanting to make a living in music should switch to Pro Tools if they are using another DAW? I see the vast majority of pros use Pro Tools so I wanted to ask you if that really is necessary, or if having a different DAW wouldn’t necessarily cause any conflict or issues when working with artists or other prodcuers, engineers, etc.

@TFWandyzilla 11 месяцев назад

From my experience and what I've learned online, the lower the volume the more your brain rejects bass and treble so you can hesr the human voice better.

@nigelcarren 11 месяцев назад

@@faderhead right, but it's just an approximation considering you'd guess the eq points and the curve. Hence the recommendation for a preset that could be shared easily enough.

@michaeltablet8577 11 месяцев назад

Still a lot of people listening to FM not as many as there once was but here in Texas there are still millions of listeners. Dallas and surrounding area is the 5th largest in America with over 5 million listeners

@lylaznboi01 11 месяцев назад

To a certain extent, yes. I think the older people still listen to AM/FM radio and some in the younger generation, like Gen Z or Millenials. The older folks may or may not have much knowledge about the streaming platform or have the technology in their own car or household to do it. I don't know how big it is in California, but I'm guessing it's in the millions. It's definitely not dying anytime soon.
