@mixbustv, such honesty, such passion, dedication, the integrity! Oh my goodness. I’ve seen millions of videos in YT, but this channel, I think I may have learned a lot more than those combined. I pray for his health, works and success sincerely. Dear Sensei, we might never ever meet, but my soul will always be with you . Stay strong and stay safe. Keep bashing godforsaken with your knowledge and wisdom! Love and hugs. Regards. I am the Eklavya.
Thanks David for another great video. I have one question regarding saturation on vocals. My question is about lead vocal throughout the entire song (not just the artistic effect to enchance the choruses ect). Applying saturation on the vocal track vs parallel distortion. When mixing vocals for modern music would you rather put saturation directly on vocal track or use parallel distortion and blend it to taste? Pros and cons of each. Thank you.
Thanks for another informative video! Fwiw, IKs Amplitube 5 is light years better than 4. You will immediately notice the difference in depth with the new IRs. I was skeptical, but...it's good enough for me to say something. Cheers, yo!
This is a super cool trick. I had been using saturated stereo delays sent from lead vox, but really liked how over-the-top this sounded in solo, yet worked in the mix!
@@markjackson9120 that'd would be pretty hard to fix, and it would be a case by case situation. iZotope RX would be the 1st I'd try, then there is the chance that you'd have to keep some bleed in a work with it
Thanks for your selfless information. The second set of saturation that you said is low in the mix. Is that a copied track? Yes l would have to join later down in the year.
I have a question about saturation or maybe its actually about high pass filter. I found that if I put a high pass filter after a saturation or limiter, the level of the track will be louder suddenly. The reason I put the hp eq is because saturation and limiter always give some unwanted low frequency and i want to cut them out. What does this phenomenon mean? Should I just cut the low frequency after a saturation and use gain to make the level down? Or should I just leave the low frequency there because it does not matter?
Some saturators add low end content, that is a normal byproduct of some types of saturation, same with some pieces of hw, it's not necessarily a bad thing because the content it's not (it shouldn't) be nowhere near high enough to cause any issue and it's actually, some times, part of certain unit's sound. But also, some times it's really not necessary and "unwanted" it all depends. I those cases you simply high pass it, as I said in many saturation video, with saturation the key is "boxing" the signal, before, after and sometimes both. Limiting doesn't add anything.
@@mixbustv Thank you for the answer! The concept,' sometimes it is the part of the sound,' inspired me a lot. There is still a problem there for me. Why will the high pass filter after a saturation makes the fader go up several db? If I use a gain to reduce the volume, eventually the track may get less loud or 'fat' than it was saturated before. Limiter like I learned shouldn't add anything either. The eq and meter spectrum shows that some low frequency. For example, if I drag a mastered track into my daw and low cut it, it really goes over -0.1 db to like 3 or 4 db which is clipping hard. It also happens in any of my group bus. If I us a limiter on my lead bus to make it louder and cut the unwanted frequency, it clips too. In case if it is caused by a feature and characteristic of a daw. The daw I am using is Logic.
Best vocal saturation trick for me? Put the vocal in a glass jar filled with olive oil overnight. It'll be dripping when you take it out the next day! Har har

Thanks for mixing our track 🖤
🙌🤘
Thank you
OMG!!!! this is pure Gold!!! thank you David!!!
Damn that sounds amazing in context. You really took it there with that David. Thank you as always for bringing the heat!
Awesome stuff!! were the vocals recorded in some sort of console that already brought saturation to it? thanks!!
No
Yes a further breakdown of the mix would be badass
Nice. A few juicy pointers in there, especially with the de-esser. Great stuff man.
This mix is outta this world. If you make a breakdown it would be amazing. This video is members only material already 👀
🙏🤘
Awesome man. This is is just great content. Thank you.
Thanks David -- excellent/useful information as always.
That T-Racks Tape Machine sounds great.

Great tip
Wow, great idea. Imagination beyond anything I've seen!👍🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this!!! ☺️❤️

That’s so good! Thanks for the tricks.
The bass sounded really huge, if you make a full course, I will be on it! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Most likely I will, it'll take a minute, 100+ tracks
thanks for your explanations, this will help me tremendously I'm sure :)
Is this a kind of parallel saturation ?
Great content David. Are you willing to do a video on how to remove cymbal bleed from a vocal?
How the hell did you get cymbals bleed on vocals? Is the drummer singing?
@@mixbustv No. The drums were behind a lead vocal and the the overheads were plastered with cymbals.
@@mixbustv Sorry that I was not specific. The lead vocals were plastered with cymbals from the drums behind the singer.
@@markjackson9120 that'd would be pretty hard to fix, and it would be a case by case situation. iZotope RX would be the 1st I'd try, then there is the chance that you'd have to keep some bleed in a work with it
@@mixbustv Thank you kind sir. I own RX and will give it a go.
Thanks for the knowledge man
Thanks. I had totally forgotten the existance of Ozone Exiter :)
Nice

No it's a send
@@mixbustv ok got it.
@@mixbustv QUESTION: Dione or API 2500 on 2 bus for heavy rock/metal? Not sure which to get, I know you have had both. Thanks!
@@WhereAreWe7 I sold my 2500 some time ago, I prefer Dione (well, now NG for me) to that for 2buss, any genre
@@mixbustv thank you! What is NG?
The bass and the vocals should be in mono always? Because when I put reverb on a mono vocal it sounds bad....
How many mouth a human being has? One, so mono. That doesn't mean the effects need to be mono tho', that's probably what you're missing
