A proper editing before the actual mix makes all the difference in the world, a lot of people watch top engineers videos and think they can do the same, but they forget those engineers have assistants giving them the mix already edited.
Yup.

@@youngblacklife9419 appreciate that my boi ! Follow me on Ig tmb.TRoSe I’m about to drop something fye 🍁👾🎶
thanks a lot mate! i didn't knew about that ❤
Just go through the vocal manually - takes 10 minutes and guarantees a truly musical result. I deal with breaths (adjusting the gain or replacing with better breaths), cut out gaps, finesse cross-fades and identify problems that may need a restoration process, such as RX to remove mouth-noise during a note. I will use a de-esser though, often manually automating the vocal volume to solve the worst.

When waves puts out a video and all the techniques you use personally are used >>>>
Teaching with smile is what's most striking here! Great personality man!
the x-noise learn at the end is a game-changer... I've been struggling in my room, it's not treated so this is a dream... cant thank you enough
Don't forget to check out the other noise reduction plugins we offer, they're just as easy to use as x-noise.

That x-noise was actually really really good i must admit 😅
All the X plugins are secret gems
Waves are still my favourite plugins really ahead of their time
Finally Gordon Ramsay is talking nicely to some people

Gordon is always at his best mixing music instead of muffins! 😄😄😂😂
how to really clean vocals in your mixes: buy these plugins
yeah xD
I swear
He’s right you can replicate the effects in most DAWs with just the stock plugins, but if you did want them they’re cheap as hell anyway. Worth the investment.
I've found some really nice free or cheap plugins that work as alternatives for most premium plugins. besides soothe 2 :(
lmaoook
X-Noise is really good, but keep in mind, it works best when the hiss/noise is UNIFORM as it was in this video. If the noise is coming from somewhere else, and not uniform, you may have to do a bit more work to remove it. (Cutting out that frequency, using diff plugins, etc.)

You are right RE uniform noise. Maybe I'll cover how to remove/reduce non-uniform background noise in a future video
Thanks for the Tip
One of the best explained tutorials
I’ve never needed to use a De-esser on myself or anyone else I’ve recorded. The waves R-vox is the bomb. I create an auxiliary track with the R-vox on it. I set the input to where my mic is plugged into, and the output to say bus one. On the track that is being recorded, the input is then bus one, therefore the vocals are getting recorded through the R-vox. Usually I record with just enough of a limiter to prevent clipping and just enough noise gate to eliminate any room hiss. Then, depending on the song or style of music, I will compress fully after the fact. I think I learned that trick from reading an interview with Butch Vig. Great plug-in, easy to use and very effective. Also pretty transparent
I’ve never used the X-noise and have it, but I will now. Thanks you for the video!
It's a cool little gem isn't it? Does exactly what you need in just a few steps
X-Noise was an absolute gem 💎
This for sure is going to make my vocal treatments much better . . . thanks!!!
Love love love ur plugins and ur deals. Please consider updating the visual quality of ur plugins and please start offering user controlled upsampling as well as higher sample rates on saturating and coloring fx. Thanks cant wait for my next purchase.
Man I really appreciate all your tutorials really helped me becoming a better producer ❤️
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos Dan and Happy New Year!

I wouldn't suggest removing breaths altogether, that can take away the natural feel of a performance.
yes true, even in podcasts.
Agreed, better to just turn them down if they're harsh
also you can't make sounds from your mouth without breathing
I agree 1000%
Yes
R vox is a preaty simple and useful plugins from waves! Now I see a new way to use it! Thanks!
RVox and an EQ for colour are often all I need to get a vocal into shape
waves ns1 is also a really good plug in
Was hoping that one showed up in the video
That's a killer plug-in
Just bought the NS1 and use it with Audio Hijack to clean up the fan noise in livestreams. When I use close miking w. dynamic mics I almost don't need it, but the condensers and this new Røde VideoMic NTG that's a foot away from my mouth, oh boy, the NS1 is a life saver. I'm also considering the X-Noise and the C1 Gate, maybe needed for the guests in the future... Anyway, no affiliation with Waves, just really great products.
This guy can mix and master while he's watching a movie, at the same time
Yoooo 💀💀💀
Great video!!! I have most of the plug ins you used, I'm excited to apply what I've learned, thanks
Waves: "So this plugin attenuates breath in a vocal performance"
Muse: ".....is there a plugin that makes breaths louder?"
compress them
Pppp]pppa
yes, this plugin also can make breaths louder
lol I know, everybody tries to get rid of what he called "saliva sound" I try to preserve it. I want that MMLP mic sound.
Fabulous video
Holy Smokes.... I have all of these plugins listed and have never used most of them.... Really glad to know that these can be so handy.... I have an untreated room and the X-Noise is going to be really useful.... Thanks Waves...
finally understood x-noise. thanks
What a great video and presenter. Thank you so much I have learnt so much 🙏🏽 keep doing more of these vids 👍🏽
That Doo deee dooo, dooo dee dooo is now stuck up in my head lol
Excellent tips thank you for sharing.
Spot on few things for me to play around with thank you.
thank so much... You really help me 👍🌟🎶
You can remove noise and hiss from fl's stock Edison... The toothbrush button will do that
Yeah ...but he’s also talking about after compression ...it amplifies the noise .
Edison... FL 😂😂😂😂
@@anujmajumdar4615 Just clean again with Edison.
@@dsr4902 I’ve tried it before ...but I realized that it takes out certain high frequencies away for messes with the quality..so I use a gate plug-in ...solves the problem for me .
@@anujmajumdar4615 fruity transient processor can halp you
This whole video needs a “DeSSer”
🤣🤣🤣
So harsh.
What a great video! Thanks man!
Very good comparisons with Vocals, very Clean & well done using Tools to Fix Vocals without Ruining the Original Take; Great Stuff!
Great tips!
Thanks!
what i needed
2ys, n I was searching for perfect tutorial as this since 1995. Thank u 2023. 🎉
I actually learned a lot more than I thought I would 👍🏾
Great content, my friend! Thank you, guys! My covers will sound a lot better from now on! :D
Reading comments like this really make my day Rodrigo, thanks for the support! All the best
Perfect explanation, thank you so much!!
Really needed this video. You made it sound simple and gave examples. Thank you sm
I found this video very helpful. Some I already knew, but De-Breath was new to me. I usually zoom in and edit out the breath intakes. It is time consuming, but was getting the job done. Will play around with De-Breath to see if it makes it easier. The devil is in the detail 👍
The steadman ps101 is a great pop filter. Pricey but sends the plosives to the floor rather than slow them down life most pop filters.
Best tutorials for everything vocal cleaning

I’ve tried many plugins for removing breaths and they always cut vocals. I’ve stopped using them and do it the old fashioned way which is boring and long. That’s the only part I hate with mixing.
You could try RX8. It works perfectly for me
This is so amazing thank you for the lesson
Happy to help Chris, thanks for watching, happy music making
@@dancooperwaves3685 I was trying to figure out how to use s noise right for the longest LOL this was perfect can’t wait for the next one

AMAZING
Awesome Tips ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love your vid's .. very helpful. thnx
ur the best
thanx for this !
expllaind very well thank you
I Keep my breaths in the take, it brings the full emotional of what I’m saying. I want it to sound close to a live performance as possible. I don’t like things so computerized all the time.
I would take the breaths down on a separate track, so the breath won't get any processing. This is a easy way to controle the breaths without making it sound harsh or computerised
Nice description...i like that type of english.
7:28
Hand over the finished song. It sounds nice.
Right?
Very helpful!
The X-Noise... Impressive! Must get! That hiss always annoys me
Instead use WAVES NS1. Much better option.
I just tried this ryt now ...and WAAAAOOOOOH....THANKS MEN
You are welcome Shaquay! Happy mixing bro
Great as always!👍🌟🎶🎧
Thank you for this video
Awesome knowledge!
Manual editing will always beat a noise gate imo. Noise gates can cut off the beginnings or ends of words (or ringing out chords, etc). If I have any issues with noises, I always try to edit those out manually to an extent that I won't need a noise gate at all.
I recommend writing ur breaths in when writing the song to the instrumental!!
very helpful! Thank you.
amazing man, super helpful
Really great video!!
More videos for voiceover work please!. We don’t just need noise reduction. We need a way to quickly insert clean PRE-RECORDED room noise at a very low volume without any unwanted noise like breaths, mouth clicks ETC. It’s not about isolating the vocals or noise gating to us, it’s about being able to patch up gaps in between words and phrases.
thanks a million !
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU
