After recording this tutorial i realized UAD Autotune Access (the mini version) is no longer included free with the full versions! My apologies for the outdated info!
I bought the AutoTune yesterday... it came with "Autotune Real-Time" (white one) & "Autotune Real-Time Advanced" (black one)... it didn't come with "AutoTune Access" however. All good. Happy with what I got.
Hey I'm so sorry if it's on your channel..I recently got my hands on some awesome hip hop wav files I want to record vocals over them. What would be a decent program to start with to record my vocals on??
The Api 560 is my fave plugin to pretty much everything. I use it on my Masterbuss and on my leadvocal. The highs are sharp without being harsh and the low end is just fat without being muddy. Discover it guys.
@@ReidStefanMusic damn that’s crazy 😂 your recording vocals tutorial for beginners is what got me into warm audio at first, I bought the same exact chain. (Great river pre, wa eq, wa2a, wa76) I got rid of all the warm audio but still have the great river pre and love it. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge btw ❤️
@@ReidStefanMusic your puppet is retarded and i'm sure the only reason you're using it instead of showing your face is because you're a hideous abomination
Dude. Im on Splice, KARRA is on there dude.. I know you know but man.. I want to make a jam using a sample.. That's cool as poop man.. Im excited.. Congratulations to you both man..
The Distressor is prob my number 1 must have, its such a great versatile plugin. I also HIGHLY recommend the api channel if youre working with dynamic mics and wanna get some loud in your face stuff goin on.
Hey Reid. You are saying everything but the Kick and Sub get send to the Distressor in parallel. Right after you are saying the Kick, Synth and Vocal get send there. I'm quite confused and would really like to know. Thanks a lot!
This is the first time watching one of your videos! Very informative and entertaining 👍🏾I really appreciate your tips Definitely subscribing. Keep up the great work 😄
The Manley Massive Passive EQ sounds so good when mastering when you boost around 12K. Super clean/smooth top end boost. What do you use to boost the top end on your tracks when mastering?
@Reid Stefan thanks for the video! Hey I think the way you have the de-esser set at 10:1 bypasses the sidechain de-esser and turns it into a 10:1 full band limiter.
Question: for the Tape plugin, you said to use "on the bass and drums", later you said to use it "for the low end"....Is the best application just kick and bass? (not a full drum and bass buss). TY!
awesome video great advice thank you, your videos are aways great . I thing also the easy way to go about this for people is , to ask our selfs what do i need ? but if you don't know the answered to that then maybe is better to learn what you have ? and then after you do you will be ok I need this and this is why I think I do ...... maybe I'm wrong . but in my experience I realize I spend so much money on plugins I really don't need
There's nothing better than a head bopping puppet - unless of course it is a jelly fish lava lamp. Seriously, loved the video. My favorite UAD of late is the Capitol Compressor - I am in love with the saturation button on my master buss.
on topic of the UA Autotune when I had initially bought the Autotune the Access was available, but it is now showing that I don't have an authorization for it after many frustrating calls I was told that it was never included and was only offered as a promo product and I told them yeah I know I had been using it and now I cannot U A was on some B.S with the Autotune...smh
voxbox or avalon for all in one. component starts with a pre, ( 610B, manly reference pre, or V76 ), then a De-Esser ( dynamic EQ, or sonnex oxford ) , i wouldn't use a FET compressor on vocals myself, so out with the 1176, and in with the la-2a, tube-tec, tla 100a, or vsc-2, followed by la-3a limiter and eq....if you need an auto tune, stop singing.
Can you do want like this but and show what it those to the vocals bc the description said for vocals can you do one please and can it be like one kind warm vocal and the other vocal aggressive , one rnb and the other one hip hop or some
thanks for this video! I would love to see what you think of the Analog Obsession plugins. They are free and and sound on par with all the major analog emulations from the big companies in my opinion.
So i just got a manley ref C mic alongside with a neve 1073lb 500 pre amp .. that connects to my apollo any suggestions on what to add into my uad vocal chain to finish off the vocal sound ?
Thanks for the tip, great video. I just added the oxide tape to the master channel and it sounds great, but the side effect is that it boost the highs and lows too much, is there a way to somehow fix this?
I personally like to put these on at the start of the mix so that I can mix to the sound. If you put it on at the end it can potentially throw off the balance but if you put it on at the start you can balance it as you go. Thats just my personal advice ;)
cool idea with the parallel subs sends to a bus (but no kick synths or vox) with the distressor! I will try that! Thanks! :)). I hear that famous mix engineers do that kinda thing (but prob the whole mix parallel) to like 2 LA2a' and distressors (Micheal Brauer on some bus) Cool man :)) Got me thinking about I.T.B routing in studio one :)
@@ReidStefanMusic thank you bro 🙏🏼 I already have the neve 1073 think it would be a nice sound neve 1073 x api channel strip and 1b mk11 as a vocal chain
Great Video 🔥 One question, I got the Apollo Twin X Quad and in UAD Console I only got 4 effect insert slots + 1 preAmp slot. You got 8 effect insert slots in Console. Do you have more slots because you are also using a sattelite or x6/x8/ or x16? Thanks a lot 🙏🏼
Each Insert should have 8 slots for effects, 3 slots for sends, and 1 slot for a Unison plugin. You get more inserts depending on the interface since each insert is set up for the inputs you have on your interface.
@OneLove okay, I was definitely wrong about the interface. From looking back at the video, the only way to get 8 inserts on UAD Console is by using it with the LUNA recording system.
@@ReidStefanMusic the distortion clip one?? Does it sound like the left knob in avid's lofi? i seen that one used a lot in vocals but i don't have pro tools. Thanks a lot for answering!!
Hey man.... I hope you read this... I know it's sounds lazy but I'm really confused... I can't afford a piano class and i want to learn on my 49key keyboard and wanna learn the piano Can you help me where i should start?

Dead ass..... my dream woman who I've had a crush on just came up to me as I was watching this. And said are you watching a puppet? I don't think we will ever be together now 😢
The best puppet in the game and I'd learned TONS from this channel, but why are you automating the fader levels. You're gonna be so frustrated later when you can't adjust your faders in mixing. Utility automation solves that!
All musicians listen up. STOP supporting plugin subscription companies! They don’t have your back! You are renting! Not owning! Most importantly if they all have their way you will be adding 5 to 10 or more monthly bills! On top of most important life’s bills!!!! All these companies end game is wanting this including digital distribution companies now. You will go thru life within more bills than you ever imagined!

One the biggest problem with UAD plugins are they slow down the process of bouncing. It is ok if you bounce the full song but my job requires me to bounce stems so on average UAD plugins add extra 10 min per song which makes them useless in my case.

@@ReidStefanMusic oooh..nice..ok last question..do you master you own work? Or do you believe that the advantages you get be being able to bring out the idiosyncrasies that make the groove work out weigh a better soundstage?
Watching Reid's little puppet head headbanging to the Oxide Tape A/B was exactly the energy I needed today.

Great video man. Inflater and maag eq can be bought for around $30-39 and even cheaper with coupons. So I wouldn't get those 2 from uad.
Yessssirrrrrr we needed this 🔥🔥🔥

I learned sooo much from this video🔥 Big up😇
That satisfying feeling when you've got every single one of these UAD plugs.
got the uad essentials for $49, nice to see some of those plugins here
the tape in parallel sounds so fat, god damn
tks Reid
The Manley Massive Passive EQ sounds so good when mastering when you boost around 12K. Super clean/smooth top end boost. What do you use to boost the top end on your tracks when mastering?
I like The UAD Pultec EQP1A boosting 12k high end and 60hz sub in mastering
Can I use this with a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 audio-card, I found it in a box at my grandpa's house! I also found a 3dfx Voodoo 2 gpu card!
u always the best m8 !! thanks

Yup came here to say that.
Thanks for information ❤️🔥
It’s the beat banging head knocking for me! 🙌🏽🤣🔥🔥🔥😈👌🏽
the v76 preamp is my favorite for vocals with the distressor. Oh man you don't need analog gear after hearing THAT!
killer list thank you
Wooow’ need videos about mastering multiband compression🙏🙏🙏🌎

I need to get that Inflator! Good lawd 😳
Hello! what is the function of the button with a microphone symbol in Uad plugins?
Thermionic Culture Vulture is my fav
thanks for this video! I would love to see what you think of the Analog Obsession plugins. They are free and and sound on par with all the major analog emulations from the big companies in my opinion.
I literally replaced the veq with a uad pultec in my mix and omg the sound was amazing.
The Pultec Eq is incredible. I'll put it on tracks without any attenuation just for the sound it gives. Theres butter in that jar
how do you have more than 4 insert slots in UAD console?
This is sheer gold 🤣🙌🏼
I have all but the Maag EQ and that was next on my list. Dope List!
So i just got a manley ref C mic alongside with a neve 1073lb 500 pre amp .. that connects to my apollo any suggestions on what to add into my uad vocal chain to finish off the vocal sound ?
I don’t use any UAD unison plugins In my vocals during recording. I do use them later in my mixdown tho. UAD Autotune, LA-2A, EMT250 reverb, MAAG EQ
thx brooo
thanx!
The craziest part of the Oxford inflator is it’s one of the most simple plugins, its just a saturation plugin
Can you make a tutorial on routing tracks for ableton? Like how to make those parallel sends before the master 😁
Right click any channel in Ableton, and choose “insert return track”
The mixbus parallel via sends is 🔝🔝🔝
Do you compress some more on the master or just limiting?
Just a limiter after the inflator in this master chain!
@@ReidStefanMusic 🙏🏼
Why are you doing that stuff with the Distressor?
Thanks for the tip, great video. I just added the oxide tape to the master channel and it sounds great, but the side effect is that it boost the highs and lows too much, is there a way to somehow fix this?

I have an 1176 on a parallel bus on every mix. The all buttons in setting is too good for adding oomph. Aka the New York compression trick
If you had too pick 2 out of distessor , api Channel strip or 1b mk11 please respond before the sale over RNB and rap vocals
Api channel strip has the most features in 1 plugin if you're choosing 1, i'd suggest API Channel STrip's the most useful to get started.
@@ReidStefanMusic thank you bro 🙏🏼 I already have the neve 1073 think it would be a nice sound neve 1073 x api channel strip and 1b mk11 as a vocal chain
Little bit wired but I love it thanks 🙏
