I've been recording for decades and this was refreshing to watch and a great reminder. We sometimes fall into ruts or "Signature Sound" as some prefer to call it LOL. It is always good to listen with someone else's ears. Great tips Patrick!
One thing I've learned recently that's very useful if one is going to pan vocal tracks, most commonly backing vocals. Lot of the effects produce stereo output so when you pan those tracks particularly to or close to full left or right you only end up with the left or right of the effect. In that situation what works well is using Direction Mixer from Imaging in the plugins selection to make the whole track with effects completely or close to mono.
Appreciate what you do, Patrick! You are a wealth of information in a realm I knew virtually nothing about...recording music and on a DAW, no less. I took a chance buying a Mac with Garageband, opened it up and thought I was staring at the middle section of a calculus text. But with tutorials like yours, made what felt impossible to me all the more possible! THANKS for sharing your knowledge!!
Really comprehensive for a 15 minute tutorial, and not at all complicated for a person who has seen GarageBand before. My vocal tracks universally stink like year old cod (largely because I'm not a vocalist) but I bet I could make them stink a lot less with a judicious application of your advice. Thanks.
Great video Patrick! Alot of helpful tips and tricks! I always seem to struggle to get vocals to sound their best. I'm looking forward to trying these tips! Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Patrick extremely helpful as always. Might I add if using a dynamic microphone to use a mic preamp. I use an art studio V3 I was fortunate enough to find at a guitar center store in Texas.😉 It adds more punch and allows you to keep the input level down on the interface.
Great tutorial as always. Simple yet powerful tips regarding vocals. One more thing: the recording source must be really good (I mean the vocal recording on its own has to sound good in the mix even when it’s raw, otherwise a mix won’t fix a bad recording or performance)
You forget to mention the most important part.. TURN ON THE MONO WHEN MIXING MAIN VOCALS and then you can use stereo for left and right side when doing panning
@@TheGaragebandGuide nae probs.. I've been using GB for a few years now.. I also use mainstage combined with it using logic software etc.. I do outdoor backpacking videos and use GB to do soundtracks. Come a long way since I first started.. focused more now on music and learning the technology in more depth. Your videos are a great help in this and vastly help me improve the sound and mix etc.. Cheers bud.
@@pageluvva on my channel and on some of my friends/subs channels who use my music. Not done videos for a while so a lot of my stuff is older. I'm working on an album at the moment with new music. Thanks for asking.
Hi Patric, Thank you for all your good tips. I am a new user. I am getting this message every few second and don't know what to do! "Sample Rate 43,119 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device."
Thank you sir! Yes - MAutoPitch is a free auto tune type plugin that comes as part of Melda Productions free FX bundle. More info here: www.meldaproduction.com/MAutoPitch
so at 10:00 I do the scan and drop my mids a bit. HOWEVER on the blue control EQ pad, the mid freq knob is all the way down, can someone tell me down ?
