Hey Charles! Been a while since watching one of your videos. This one really clicked with me. I’ve produced half a dozen songs over a couple years, learning as I go. And I listened to my first song recently and my vocal is pretty sad. (Of course I loved it when I made it - so proud of myself) So this tutorial has me enthused to re-record the vocals. What I notice most was my nervousness of singing. This is what I realized from your video. But confidence is up now and I’ll give the song some new life! I also upgraded to a new mic. Can’t afford that Neumann like you have though! 😉 Thanks for the tips, Gianni❤
Talk about beat and timing.... hey guys, if you listen to guys like Stewie Wonder (Isn't She Lovely, Sly Stone (If You Want Me To Stay), just think how well they sing in the "pocket", in other words, being so perfectly in sync with the band. Something I need to work on for sure.
Cracks me up, man. Your two-word statement between 9:41 and 9:43? Dude, I say this with every song, if not every day, even after writing for years. Good stuff here.
Fantastic Charles. Possibly you have a tutorial on compressing vocals? Do you apply that during the recording or after? Same with EQ… I would think eq is after, unless there’s something blaring. Thanks
Hey! This was really helpful. I'm still totally confused about compression. I'm using presets in the stock Logic compression choices and tweaking. but I don't really KNOW what the F I'm actually doing. Another question I have is when I have a great mix in Logic, it's waaay to loud when I bounce it and bring it in to adobe premiere. so I turn everything down... but then it seems like when I upload a video to youtube. my track is softer than everybody elses... argh!

Hey, usually people record it raw and apply EQ and compression and reverb after. Better to have the originals and work on them later

Cool tips. Would help more if I could sing better. 😅😜
