Thank you! The desk is a custom build by a good friend of mine. We based it off my old desk, which was an Ultimate Support Nucleus Z desk. I really disliked how wobbly the old desk was, so with this desk the idea was to make a more solid version.

Fixed! 👷

@@travisraab Haha Love your videos! Thank you for watching :)

@@lucapayetmusic5413 Thanks for the compliment and for phrasing this question kindly! If I did place them horizontally it would be upside down as the tweeter would be closer to the level of my ear that way. Since receiving a few comments about this I’ve considered trying them out upside down. Ironically, I received one negative comment previously about their placement, and I believe I’d receive more if they were upside down. Haha That’s the way of the internet.

@@englishoakrecording Haha damned if you do, damned if you don't. I've considered putting my gear in a side rack and placing the Alphas on monitor stands slightly above the desk. Right now I have them angled slightly downwards but that also causes some issues with reflections on the desk.

@@beaulangdon5532 Thank you so much, Beau!

Thank you. :) It was made custom by BILT Furniture. Here's the link to their instagram: instagram.com/biltfurniture?igsh=aHcxMzR5ZWdmYmpy

They're Focal Alpha 65's. Focal now sells them as "Focal Alpha Evo" monitors. They look a little different but I'm sure they're similar!

You could use Melodyne to adjust the gain of your vocal. It's not what I do, but that doesn't mean that it's not a valid way to even out the vocal. :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Good, you literally just said it doesn’t matter 😂

@@audionerdlilcuz you won’t be breaking any laws or harming anyone, but you will be getting terrible horizontal dispersion out of the speaker, which is critical. If you get amphion one15 or one18 you can place those sideways. But you really want a coaxial speaker

​@dougleydorite maybe they are just to monitor certain frequencies from a near field perspective and he can only get it by turning them the way he has them. There are no real rules in the audio profession.

@@jmoemorris4133 correct. They can… but they can’t

Oh no it's not "perfect" according to marketed information

The song is "Lugares Escondidos" by Lily Graciela. She came in for overdubs, and produced and mixed the rest of the track herself. Go check it out!

When I'm dialing in a reverb I use the filter available on the plug in. Which I'm assuming is pre-reverb. I find myself reaching for EQ post reverb if the reverb is impacting an already dense mix. Usually there's a low mid build up I'm addressing.

Get your ears checked 😔🪦

Thank you!

Focal Alpha 65's. I believe they're rebranded as Focal Alpha Evos these days.

Thank you! The goal is to make it sound as good as it can upfront.

Big fan of iZotope products. Personally I'd rather show people the tools we already have before recommending a new plug in purchase.

I do the same… I teach as well.

@@englishoakrecording don’t worry, brother we take your word for it clicks are part of the nature and we got to get Em!

I personally use izotopes de clicker, sometimes there’s that stubborn click right in the middle of a vocal there has even been times. I’ve had to send it through a couple times to get that dang click out.✊🏽

@@sirvaant 100% iZotope products are really great at getting clicks in the middle of phrases.

You're welcome and thank you!

I agree

Double agree

yeah definitely. it definitely defeats the purpose of the short to not include that. also judging by the waveform itself, it wouldn't even be that serious of an issue, as there is no steep vertical line, so whatever click was there wouldn't be that high of a frequency to worry about. they didn't even adjust frequency, just the amplitude.

You can hear the before audio, and more in the related video.

@@englishoakrecording I specifically wrote "in the short". Viewers got no reason to click to another video and look for this specific moment if they aren't even sure what issue you're fixing and whether it would be useful for them.

@@user-lk4rv2qh1s Using the shortcut CMD + F opens the batch fade window. Allowing you to fade multiple clips at once, saving you a ton of time.

@@englishoakrecording Ahh! Thanks, i will try it out with my next vocal recording

@@user-dv2vv1ch7u Thank you for watching! :)

I find the end result to be a lot more controlled sounding when I manually de-ess, but there's certainly time's where I'll use a plug in too. I wanted to highlight the detail manually de-ssing could bring to a mix because a lot of people who do what we do often chase the next piece of gear or plug in. "If only I had this new de-esser my vocals would sound perfect" But in reality we already have the tools right in front of us! Thanks for asking :)

Thank you!

Thank you, Peter!

In Logic look through the pointer tool selection options. Shortcut is "T" to open the pointer tool selection. There should be a gain tool. :)

Agreed - honestly not enough quality videos out there covering reverb and its intricacies. Plenty of "sidechain your reverb to your lead vocal"... tired of that one.

Heard! 🤝

@@englishoakrecordingyes parallel compression would be great
