Top 5 for vocals for me:
1) Pro-Q3
2) Waves CLA-76 (bluey)
3) Pro-DS (wideband mode only and 11dB range for vocals)
4) Saturn 2 (default setting is my favourite)
5) Soothe 2
Very generic ones but they work the best for me. Tried many different plugins (uad, softube etc.) and for vocals nothing beats them for me. Uad is too raw sounding, kinda dirty, softube doesn't control the dynamics properly etc.
on Saturn 2, do you leave the default setting exactly as it is or do you bring the mix knob down and tweak it?
RVox by waves is an essential for vocals. Purple Audio's MC77 is great. Greg Wells Voice-centric is a delay, reverb, & doubler with an EQ/Compression knob (Cheat code for bedroom studios), it's zero latency and cpu friendly so you can use it while recording and replace it in the mix if needed.
Most plugins I use are very subtle and don't make much of a difference these are the ones I find work best
1.) Antares Auto tune EFX
2.) Waves Rvox
3.) Slate Digital Fresh Air
4.) Waves CLA Vocals
5.) Vocal Synth 2
Coming in UAD 1073, C-vox, Antares, 1176, & LA2A. Once in the box, FabFilter suite for literally everything using Bitwig built-ins for modulation.
Aside from the topic, the lyrics are so beautiful.
1176 compressors paired with lala compressors do an outstabding job at making the vocals sit in the mix without popping out to much
Top 5 for vocals for me:
1. Auto-Tune (Pro or Artist)
2. Bloom (or Magma Channel Strip)
3. Pro-DS
4. Pro-C 2 (or LA2A/1176)
5. Pro-Q 3
That feeds into a vocals Mix Bus with:
1. Vocal Rider
2. SSL G-Master Compressor
3. Fresh Air
4. C6 Multiband
5. Magma Tubes (or HG2/Saturn)
I use the reverberate 3 which also comes with the bricasti IRs and funny enough the plates and room you suggest are exactly the same ones I usually use (they're built in to my template for easy A/Bing) sunset plate is 75% the winner
I found the OFF/ON examples not very helpful. I need to hear exactly the same passage with and without plugins - that would be far more helpful in hearing the real difference.
Feel that, I have to solo and bypass all my plugins before I can hear any difference in just one plugin that I’m turning off and on.
Top 5 hugely underated free plugins for me (all by Chris from Airwindows)
Pop (or pop2), Focus, DeBess, Air2 (or 3 now) and Clearcoat. I've used these so much over other big brands it's crazy.
Also Galactic and TapeDelay2 for huge reverb and delay games.
Sounds dope got that sticky fingers tone
my top 5 are
Fresh Air by Slate Digital
Harmonics by Softube
Plate 140 by Arturia
Tube Tec PE 1 by Softube
Lil Alter Boy by Soundtoys
often my chain looks something like this:
TDR Nova
waves vocal rider
waves sibilance or izotope spectral de-esser depending on situation
any pultec style eq
any LA-2A style comp
I don't have to deal with vocals, however, I have to give a shoutout to Seventh Heaven, the cheaper non-pro version. It's an amazing piece of software that can serve as the poor man's SH Pro if you had side-chain compression for ducking.
is that you singing? sounds like it - great video by the way
Yeah sounds like him imo
Yh he sounds dope
Great 😃
Do you use that reverb as an insert or send in this video example?
silence for soothe 2 for a movement
I thought the membership included 10 mastered mixes per Month??
Any gain plug in.
i use the h3000 as my flanger
my top 5 go to vocal for me
`1 pro q 3
2 acutisca audio nickel comp
3 acutisca audio pumpkin
4 lindell audio 902 deeser
5 gulfoss
will have to try gulfoss on vocals!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
lost me when the voxformer came after tje verb LOL
Auto tune by Antares or slate meta
Silk by waves
SSL channel strip
Verbsuite by slate
wait, did you just say metatune sounds more natural than melodyne to you?
In some cases, yes. Metatune is an incredibly good pitch correction tool and the note stabilizer is somewhat unique. If you have to do very specific and surgical tuning you might use Melodyne or brainworx Crispytuner but if your vocal doesnt need that, Metatune is your future go-to
@@doingittodeath I believe that it could be possible under certain conditions.
bro why you always use the expensive stuff
exactly 😁
Quality comes with a price
Sounding like artic monkeys 🙊
Choosing music and specially your vocalist for teaching and applying plugins not good at all
