I began recording and mixing as a hobby this year. I’ve seen dozens of tutorials and this simple 4 step tutorial has been one of the most helpful!!! First time my basic doubt of recording with effects on or off has been answered!!! Thanks.
I love how you being fully open instead of just putting good soundin shit and pushin ppl to buy ur template. I dont know how to explain how much progress u did on me with that videos. Im an artist not a engineer, i was about the give up coz i learned making beats then i learned i need to mix it oh it done then master it everythin good? Track vocals mix it then master it and get dissapointing results im really about the give up haha but ur vids the only thing im still hangin there. I hope one day ill be reach a sound good as u are. Thank you for every good vibes u bring on us.
dude, you are a BEAST with all these tips. you deserve millions! thanks for the gem and God bless you brother. To all the aspiring producers, engineers, or even artists, don't be afraid to put in the time to watch ALL these vids! Invest the time and watch it give back to you. I hope all of you find the level of success which you seek.
Yup... You on it, Devon!!! For dynamic SINGERS aka "BELTERS" minimum 3"-6" distance from microphone with -18db-12db-10db depending on dynamic vocal For mild low dynamic vocal singers -10db recording intake and "3 distance from microphone.
Might not see this but I've recently just did everything in this video! I recorded a track and had my plugins on, had my mic filter inches away from the mic, and recorded my vocals low enough to only have the focusrite hitting green even at the loudest part. This was a game changer for my recordings.
Wow man you're amazing bro, I see you from Argentina, I do not understand English but you still understand that I would like it to have subtitles greetings bro.🔥
Another great vid Devvon! I've been using the PF8 Pro mic shield you recommended, thing works very nicely with a foam mattress behind me. I def need to do the last technique you mentioned more, I hate hearing my voice dry when recording.
Great video! for people who can't afford mic shields and acoustic treated rooms. gate plugins come in handy also! stock gate / C1 Gate/Sc / Fab filter G .... also c1 Gate/SC has a good depopper preset!
Bro you can cop a mic shield from 50-100 bucks the gate thing can sound really bad. A gate will only try to mask whats there. a mic shield can help limit that from the recording
The Internetz I could show you countless of recordings I’ve recorded with this thing in hotel rooms, bedrooms etc. it makes a HUGE difference I don’t believe anyone that has made a video saying other wise huge mistake in my opinion to not having one in a room that is not optimal
@@HelpMeDevvon I trust you! When I get back to the states I'll have to try it out! the gate plugins can still do a really great job for bedroom producers etc. I've occasionally used X-Noise also!
When I spoke with the workers at Guitar Center they also said the Mic Shields make a very small difference! but small differences can be a big difference in the end! will have to try it out!
This is awesome info!! Thank you!! I just started to record my own voice and it's so different recording yourself versus someone else. Your videos are really helping me work out the issues.
Could you do a “How to sound like Toosii” sound or something. I know he uses Waves H Delay, Auto Tune Artist, Reverb and compresions. I hope that helps and you could do a video like that !
Great video! I think you should do a video that goes into detail with step 4 tho or if you have a previous video that goes into detail of step 4 and leave a link to it in the description. Thanks for all your helpful videos. There is only about 3 people I watch on this topic
Love your videos! Definitely learning a lot from you! Thank you. I just had a question, what mic stand were you using in the video??? I’ve been looking for something but can’t find a good one :/
Thank you so much for all the info bro. Really helps alot. Been subbed to you for a while. I have a question though. Im struggling with getting my vocals sounding "warm" when rapping. I have a nice low end voice but it doesnt translate when i record. I ALWAYS hear the room which sounds like a metallic sound, rather than a nice low end. Any tips? I have an AT2020 mic, steinburg audio interface and popfiter and vox guard portable booth.
I stand to be corrected, but in FL studio, the plugin effects are actually burnt into the recording, so I find it very limiting to record with plugins engaged. So I only record with the T-racks mic room plugin to emulate a better sound and a CLA compressor for slight peak reduction. Great video btw, love your stuff!
Hey Brother! Just want to say your work on this channel is the best I have seen on TH-cam. Thanks for providing us with such valuable knowledge! I noticed that you don't have a shockmount do you think its really that necessary? The Neumann shockmounts cost $200+

Tim of the Rosebush thank u so much really means alot
THAT -10 VOCAL PEAK TIP WAS A PURE FUCKING GEM BRO....
I began recording and mixing as a hobby this year. I’ve seen dozens of tutorials and this simple 4 step tutorial has been one of the most helpful!!! First time my basic doubt of recording with effects on or off has been answered!!! Thanks.
Your humbleness n simplicity is amazing bruh.
I never recorded vocals with a -10db and DAMN what a difference after when i go to mix it never peaks im so thankful for this info bro!
I love how you being fully open instead of just putting good soundin shit and pushin ppl to buy ur template. I dont know how to explain how much progress u did on me with that videos. Im an artist not a engineer, i was about the give up coz i learned making beats then i learned i need to mix it oh it done then master it everythin good?

Thank you for every good vibes u bring on us.
This is where you should go for mixing tips, not saying everyone else is wack, but they not about the mixing and recording life like Devvon
dude, you are a BEAST with all these tips. you deserve millions! thanks for the gem and God bless you brother. To all the aspiring producers, engineers, or even artists, don't be afraid to put in the time to watch ALL these vids! Invest the time and watch it give back to you.

You make everything comprehensive and easy to understand, you are gifted from God .Be Bless in the name of Jesus Christ
Had no idea what the noise floor was til now, thanks 🙏
Thanks for your work devon!! Appreciate it.

I’ve watched two of your videos so far & I’ve learned so much more compare to other videos I’ve seen. Keep it up my guy 👏🏾
Wow man you're amazing bro, I see you from Argentina, I do not understand English but you still understand that I would like it to have subtitles greetings bro.🔥
Really respect what you are doing, thanks
i appreciate you alot!!
Can you maybe upload the stems of one of your own songs so we can practice with good quality recordings? Really like your songs btw!
His template comes with vocals I think
good idea!
Actually the template does not come with vocals but if you google acapellas you can find some really high quality stuff.
Ill keep that in mind for you guys!!
Can I use template on studio one?
Your vocals and techniques are so amazingly on point! I’m obsessed with this channel 💜
Thanks Devvon! As always, your tips are great info for us that are struggling to improve our skills.
For buguiners like you are the mentor explain so well and secue thanks devon. Heads up from honduras
You are such a great teacher. Thank you for all that you do!!
Always a pleasure, Dev!
Thanks... I need this... now I know why my vocals sound so thin... I'll record closer and with peak down... my stuff always sounds distorted
Great stuff my friend 👏🏽👏🏽I love all your video’s you are always on point what a great teacher🥰😇🥳
Wonderful tutorial. Very well spoken and clear. I learned a lot. Thanks for making this.
I’m glad you brought up recording with plugins I thought I was the only one ☝️
This is such a good concise breakdown. Thank you
Another great vid Devvon! I've been using the PF8 Pro mic shield you recommended, thing works very nicely with a foam mattress behind me. I def need to do the last technique you mentioned more, I hate hearing my voice dry when recording.
Best video hands down 🙌🏿
Thanks Devon.. much appreciated...
Big up bro....i am improving every time when I watch your videos
Incredibly helpful. Thank u!
Very on point. Careful with #2, needle meters are slow and you may be way over -10 even if you see it there.
Great video! for people who can't afford mic shields and acoustic treated rooms. gate plugins come in handy also! stock gate / C1 Gate/Sc / Fab filter G .... also c1 Gate/SC has a good depopper preset!

i almost feeling like ditching Cubase and switching to ProTools - I need as many good teachers and Cubase teachers are rare
I suggest you dont, if u need cubase how to tutorials, check their channel, the concepts here I use on my DAW of choice... thanks for the video Devvon
thank you sir!!
