Wow what a bunch of rude imbeciles to someone who has gone out of his way to teach something valuable! As a complete beginner I find your in depth tutorials EXTREMELY helpful so THANK YOU! To the twats complaining about how long it takes for him to get to the point: welcome to RU-vid, I'll be your tour guide - drag the dot and fast forward.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Glad we could help!

@CarbonStinger 5 лет назад

Saying rude things to those that are rude doesn't help. Just could have just said "you guys can drag the dot instead of being rude." 😋

@LakshayKukreja11 6 лет назад

I feel sorry for as you went just for the delay "trick" and not for the mentality, psychology, logic and reasoning behind it. Everything he said before digging into the "trick", was quite valuable. I agree it should've been covered in a short and sweet manner, so that people don't get bored, but give it a chance! :)

@BirdYoumans 5 лет назад

Subtlety is the key in most instances and you did it well. That little touch of reverb did indeed suite the nature of the track. I like your approach.

@RobertWilliford 6 лет назад

I've been doing sound with an analogue board for a number of years at a church . I've been guessing at how to get reverb to sound good and failing. They recently purchased a digital mixer and it has Reverb and Delay built in. Along with the mixer came a whole lot of clueless. RU-vid has helped me tremendously. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this video on Delay. I've downloaded the sheet and will be looking at it shortly. Thank you so very much.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Robert, we are so glad we could help! Best of luck!

@chrisclement5184 5 лет назад

This is one of the best vocal tutorials I have seen on RU-vid. This might be an old trick, but so what? New mixers don't know old tricks now do they? That's the point of these kind of videos, to help those that do not know the old tricks yet. Keep up the great work.

@masteringcom 5 лет назад

Glad to help!

@juanpapitas8391 6 лет назад

One good way to find the correct timing on the TRACK is to grab a calculator and Type: 60 Divided by BPM of the track and that gives you 1/4 ( Quarter Note ) of 4/4 ( Whole Note ) . so thats the decimal traduced on Milliseconds.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Awesome!

@ReviewPimpUSA 5 лет назад

Juan Palacio doesn’t the h delay from waves let you put the bpm directly without doing that??

@michaelemseagee8032 6 лет назад

Hey just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are really really good and I'll be keeping an eye on all of your videos. super helpful. thanks again.

@kaushikwavhal3403 5 лет назад

OMG !! I wish i had found this years ago. Everything makes so much sense after this. It used to drive me nuts when vocals or Solos sounded so far away and i had no clue how to get that right.

@meesterrain 6 лет назад

Yeah, it’s a useful tool. I first became aware of it through George Martin and his manual work with The Beatles.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Tried and true!

@tonydelaney2855 3 года назад

A huge thank you!!!......I am working on my second album... They were only made possible by watching your tutorials...I'm still learning, but thanks to you I'm getting more proficient in my recording efforts!!!...keep up the excellent work!!!!

@PetrisonRocha Год назад

I was having nightmares trying to mix vocals from a live studio performance of my band. It's being hard, but so educational, because it forced me to study techniques that were not in my arsenal so far. Dynamic EQ and this delay trick totally changed the game for me.

@jonasonesmus 5 лет назад

This video really helped me a lot. i have been struggling with reverb and delay on my vocals and this really was helpful. Thank You

@masteringcom 5 лет назад

@abdulsamadniz2361 5 лет назад

I wish you could do a tutorial on how you process your vocals. These vocals sound really great.

be sure to check out our other videos on vocals! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TIDfOKrpNrE.html

@danilorg Год назад

I've had the idea of using delay on my backing vocals while I was taking a shower. Then I came on youtube to see if that makes sence hahaha great video. Thanks.

@calebguertinreel 4 года назад

This totally worked for my vocal! Wish I knew this technique 18 years ago. Reverb pushes my vocal too far back in the mix

@Randy_AP 3 года назад

dont use insert rvb, use send and return.

@Allthingsambient 6 лет назад

Thank you so much this is exactly how I want my vocals to sound and I use Logic Pro x as my daw so this is perfect. Thanks again.

@lewisknudsen1 6 лет назад

WAY better with the delay, awesome trick, heading to the studio now to try this out, I've always been pretty ignorant of delay, this is super helpful.

@SK-zh8bi 4 года назад

That was informative. Thank you

@marin4311 5 лет назад

Excellent and precise tips. Reverb and delays are way more tricky and subtle than it seems when you're a beginner.

@Kitanoonline 4 года назад

thx a lot , now i see that the slap delay in the h-delay from waves can help the vocal a lot .. always searched for something like this...im always turning some room and a gated reverb in by taste , depends on the song ..but this makes it more alive :) thx

@kelef666 6 лет назад

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! Please keep them coming :) The comments are extremely rude! Here is this guy, taking his time and actually explaining everything so super clearly and then there's ungrateful idiots who say "it takes too long". By all means, if you're all so awesome, what are you doing here??? Some of us actually enjoy this thorough learning experience.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Haha thank you! Glad we could help you out.

@parkerstroh6586 2 года назад

ay it's ok if u an absolute beginner, but there is a general lack of quick info tutorials, everybody takes their sweet time

@100chuckjones 6 лет назад

Been using this trick for years. Back in the old analog days, I used to run a stereo delay send from the Vox to the Return of a stereo bus. totally widens and gives a larger image.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Awesome!

@williamvancourt528 4 года назад

I would love to work with you. Or even get pointers Chuck. I'm a hip hop artists with many artists under me. I'd love to show you some of what I do.

@dafydd.j 3 года назад

This à great tutorial, thank you muchly. I wanted to compliment your comment about the slap back sounding close to reverb. The theory is that humans generally can't differentiate a slap back faster than 50ms, hence delays start from roughly 50ms onwards and reverb tend to be faster than that. It's the main differentiating point between the two. Obviously this is a rule of thumb and I'm sure they cross overs. Thanks again for this!

@youssefabdulkader3324 6 лет назад

I see people complaining about the long intro, and I see where you're coming from, but I ended up having more info from like one sentence during the intro than the whole technical part. Technicalities develop and change and even get fucked with and misinterpreted, but key concepts are the core of this whole thing.

@theopolisIII 6 лет назад

wow this definitely what i missing to push my vocals forward, i just got the hang of reverb and i noticed like you pointed out, it pushes it backwards. thank for sharing this

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching Anthony!

@WAZA___ 5 лет назад

@anthony Your vocals won't be pushed back if you sidechain the reverb to your vocals.

@vanleercomusicchannel1649 2 года назад

This great advice, I am sure I can apply this in a live scenario via my HD pod 500. Thanks for sharing you have just helped me solve a vocal dilemma.

@pihi42 6 лет назад

Nice demonstration. Please ignore those impatient commenters with 5 second attention span; they are either just impatient kinds that haven't really learned how to use fast forward an time control on the video, OR geniuses who are going to accomplish soo much stuff in life that I don't know why they waste any seconds on watching yt videos.

@robbykband 6 лет назад

I love the sound of slap back! My forays into understanding delay timing on vocals were like entering a strange dimension, very rough going. Not so here, this is a great explanation of how to achieve this sound.

@Mikaflyd 3 года назад

pretty cool video, I have keep having t come back to it, to pick up on some little thing that your doing in the mix, but every time I pick up on something that I can use. not just with vocals but so that I don't use to much reverb on my guitars and other instruments. thank you for this video again.

@masteringcom 3 года назад

Glad you've enjoyed it!

@cjpilcher116 6 лет назад

Great video once you got into actual examples. I didn't realize what a huge difference delay makes. I'm definitely going to be using it more in my future songs.

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

@hlyons63 6 лет назад

Thanks so much, I compose and record acoustic based "americana style" music. I hate having to use compression because it's so hard to hear the subtle differences. This was very helpful.

@MrBuonex 6 лет назад

To avoid the problem of the voice turning back in tour mix you have to send it to an auxiliar track and use the predelay of the reverb...

@IakuaPunKaRecords 5 лет назад

Useful.I'll try it in my next track. Thanks

@willb3698 6 лет назад

A very nice example of well used technique, in context - well explained, unless you can't focus for more than 10 seconds. In which case mixing is definitely not the best career choice. Thanks. Of course as an old guy I can say: Before all this we just used to record vocals in the bathroom. Instant tile slapback! :D

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

😂

@jiminberlin5354 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video! I just think it would have been a fairer comparison to hear the first reverb in parallel rather than used in line on the vocal track and using a dry/wet control which will of course push the vocal back by prioritizing the reverb in the mix. If the reverb was in Parallel the vocal would have been way less affected. I'm not saying that doesn't mean a stereo slap back is not a better choice... just that I never use reverb in line like that. Cheers!

@masteringcom 6 лет назад

Fair point! Thanks for the thoughts and for watching. :)

Dokładnie tak powinno to działać, to powinno być wiedzą powszechną a nie tajemnicą Ronsonów i Rubinów ;) Thank you, guys! You're doing incredible job here, pushing the craftsmanship further down the road, so someday soon a guy in his bedroom will be able to revolutionize the industry (or art, whichever you like) to let's say, Beatles level. One note though, this song is gonna never, never, never gonna stick to me

@davidkillion7775 4 года назад

Thanks for this, it really gives some ideas for anyone recording/mixing at home. Can I just ask whether double-tracking the vocal would have a similar result though? Or is it different delays/reverbs on each of a double track that would give it the same feel/sound/space?
