Nate is the Man!!
I love your(wavy Wayne’s) approach as a person/music expert, presenting yourself to the public! Pretty awesome! Thank you!
Bro, you got to tell me where i can get that neon wall light 🔥
You bro I need ya help my boi I’m putting up good number of streams and doing it with my mixed music lol but to me it dint sound as good as it does in my head . I need to reverse this I been following and learning but I’m mixing my music and that’s what I think is the problem I’m not sure so maybe you could tell me what I’m missing by listening to what I did to my mixes .
I’m tryna get some mixes done
i feel like a lot of people dont take advantage of youtubes content especially when it comes to mixing and engineering in general, ive watched so many great free masterclasses and your videos and I've learnt so much from the comfort of my own home, thanks for the great content!
Thanks fam!
Which classes did you watch please let me know
@@GixnlyI got the same question
Acoustically treat a closet with foam, turn your interface down to peak at about-6, record about 4 to 6 inches away from the mic ,it works wonders
you know you're a professional producer when the artists you work with appear on Wikipedia 😂😂
"And for some reason the sh!t sounds better in the bathroom than in the studio" yo I can't stop rewinding this part! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How I wish your templates were available these past 10 years. I’ve wasted so much money on gears trying to achieve the sounds your templates gives me. God bless you brother keep up the good work.
I went to school for this and Wayne has taught me more in one TH-cam sitting then I learned in a month in college , thank you Wayne
I need them crispy vocals hook a brotha up mane
Let's get it!
I remember this dude back when I went to a field trip back in 2017 to the college he went to, awesome guy, hella funny, hella talented!!! I told him I wanted to become a producer and write my own music and he was super encouraging and it stuck with me to this day, now I’m learning more and more through classes and people like him on TH-cam on how to lay tracks down and all that jazz! Thank you bro for encouraging me bro :)
Ok , as a middle aged man being in studio’s and recording vocals myself , the best producers have done exactly what you said you do ! Thanks again
What up manye!!! I obtained an audio engineering degree 9 years ago but unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to work or intern for any major/semi-major studio. I just did personal projects and a few jobs in home studios. However I went on an audio hiatus for a few years but decided to get back into it a year or so ago. Found your channel and sub'd as soon as I heard you say "Hey Manye"!!! Thanks for freshing my knowledge as well as being able to learn new things from you. ✌🏾
OMG the first half of this video is exactly why I stopped going to the studio...the engineers never have any etiquette. Constantly distracted on their phone, people coming in and out the studio, no type of feedback (I would love a shit sandwich!), no type of direction as to when they are actually recording (there's been times I did perfect takes (to me) and the engineer never pressed record- smh) it was so frustrating so I got my own equipment. Love your videos! You are the best teacher on youtube! THANK YOU
Your videos have been a life saver man. When work dried up and there was nothing to do for months I decided to learn some recording technique and every video has been helpful. Thanks so much for your time and your pro tips.
Chasing the feeling is what I been seeking. Now I innerstand.
Hey bro. Just giving mad respect. It’s crazy how many jewels you drop… from beginner to advanced. You’re a legend man. True talk!
not only are the vocals crispy, but the VIDEO is crispy as well!
Great advice every video. You've helped me with my production in so many ways. All this happened to me before I became my own producer. I appreciate you wavy
Thank you for always uploading loads of professional videos. I play progressive metal and my recordings sounds loads better thanks to you. Appreciate it very much. Alex in Sweden Stockholm.
I have a vocals content. Check me out
Appreciate the content man, keep it up. One thing I can say for open back headphones though, is they can be great for mixing if you can't use monitors, or want just want a backup reference, but you're right that they're not good for tracking. If you ever get a chance to check out the Focal Clears or the Audeze LCD-X, you'll be amazed. Kinda hard to explain, but it gives you a sense of space that closed backs can't come close to. It really gives you the illusion of listening to speakers instead of headphones. You can pan something hard left and you'll legit start looking to your left thinking some shit is making a noise on the left side of your room lol, it's real trippy. Again, keep up the great work man!
This is the Wavy Way!!!!
Chasing the feeling not perfection, Roger That!!
That picture when you said home studio was hilarious 😆
Yes I died of laughter 😂😂😂😂😂
I love all your videos and you’ve helped me a lot when it comes to getting an at home set up and learning to record myself. I don’t really have any mixing or engineering experience and one thing I’ve been struggling with is learning what all the plug ins do and when or how I should utilize them while recording/attempting to mix. I’d love to see a video from you on that because I know you would explain it in a way that’s easy to explain and entertaining to watch. Thanks so much for all your great content!
Thank you Sir, I'm to be having my first vocal recording session today, and this truly helped!
2 days late but man bro every video u make is very helpful, came across you when i bought logic pro x two weeks back. Once i get my recording down i most Definitely want you and i to work on mixing n mastering bro 🙏🏼🤞🏼⭐️
I have a vocals content. Check me out
Open back headphones deff offer a way wider soundstage than closed back. TBH I would prefer open back 9/10 (ESP for mixing!), unless I'm recording to avoid the problems you state. Beardynamic DT 1990 Pro are some of the best reference headphones I've ever used. Closed back ain't even close... just my 2 cents tho, u can keep the change.. lol love tho, love the vids, no hate or anything
My hope never dies for being an artist and videos like this keep me going! Thanks for the knowledge u been sharing for us to learn from thismakes alot difference! ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Boom!
Wavey, Open-back Headphones are almost critical when I record acoustic guitar. I can put the guitar signal through the headphones but I lose all the ambiance of the guitar track and my ability to control how I'm using my pick. I use Open-back Headphones for recording acoustic so I can hear my performance clearly, naturally and in real time. I don't have to record this way but if I'm going for a performance based piece this technique of recording has many advantages.
Fate led me to this🙏🏾
Wont he do it!
Yo I was thinking the same thing! Big up Wavy Wayne!
When recording, definitely use closed ear headphones to reduce feedback in microphone. When Mixing however, it’s best to prevent reflection of sound, so using open back headphones will be the most effective option.
Where did you go to school to learn this? Are you self-taught? You are better than my Studio Production, instructor, when I was getting my 2nd master's in Seattle Film Institute.
I love your contents Wayne you are super professional
Thanks fam
I love this and agree with everything except shutting the baby up. Look if Amara cries, you just gonna have to let the angel 👼 bless the track !! Lmao 🤣 (I watch the family vlogs). Awesome content !
Lol. Funny because Lydia and I have a session planned today and Amara will be there. We gonna see how this goes. 😂😂
Lmaoooo😅
Wayne.wav LOL yes! It worked for Aaliyah with “ Are you that Somebody” . Let her be the star she was born to be lol 😆
Yessssiiirrrr
This is Tipsy Wordplay James and I’m so Glad to hear that your available to mix again. I’ve been waiting to work with you man!!!
I'm gonna smile in the mirror before my next vocal recording 👍
Fun fact, smilling open mouth does help with better singing voice said my vocal coach👌
I support my guy Wavy, had me rolling, love to see the hustle. Will definitely give him a chance to mix one or some of my joints.
Dude the first 30 sec of your video got me lol your personality is one of a kind keep grinding Boss I definitely subscribed
Personality is unmatched
Wavy Wayne ftw
I wish I had watched this last night 😂. These are great tips and I will use them for my next session!

Is there a quick ProTools tip or technique (maybe show it on TH-cam...) where I can re-record a portion of the verse over without doing the whole thing over again?
Yes. It’s called punching in. Search my channel for that.
I think I found it. th-cam.com/video/UADONVSGbSI/w-d-xo.html
Wavy Wayne, got that sauce boy. 😁
