As someone that currently raps and mix and masters his own shi instead of hitting up producers, this video really hits home. LEARN TO MIX, whether you are a producer or an artist because it goes a long way in understanding what's going on with your music
for real. i'm mixing my own ep right now even tho i have no idea lol
@@JasonTopo idk if this helps but: Gate or drum buss (remove noise), EQ to cut low/add high (if you rlly want, remove sweeping frequencies too), compression (even out.deaden sounds to fit mix), reverb (fuller sound). Everything else for me after those things is to really make stuff sound good.
I Bmi should i compress everything?
@@JasonTopo negative, it removes all range and depth from the track and makes it sound muddy
Alex Luker i’ve been putting it on drums and a few other things that imo needed to sound compressed, if that makes sense 😂
At 22:44 he starts to break down the MAIN vocal plugin chain, this is more or less a timestamp for future me, but feel free to use it.

thank you so much, this video says a lot about you like a producer and like a person. Really, really thanks. This is a gift for everybody of us who are starting to produce and mix. No jealousy, no fear, only knowledge and generosity. Only for this you deserve all the respect of the world. Thanks you again, from Spain.
bro u are saving sooo many ppl years or trail and error...u a real one..payattention
Keep uploading the lives broski! Thanks tons!
As someone who really likes the whole DIY process with music this is a savior!
Young kids, this man jut translated Alex's template to a logical tutorial. If you have talent, this can make you money.
As long as they know how to grind hard!
Tumay's Template was never hard to understand fym Lol!

This template was only for recording ,not the finished product
So true bruh
Good googly moogly, as a complete noob to processing vocals I always thought my voice was garbage and i was only destined to make beats but after smackin this bad boy on my mic its like night and day. Kenny just opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks for this post from the bottom of my heart!
0:38 when the essay has to be a certain amount of words

the group has the chain
What group?
luxure ooooohh yeah the group!
where I get it?
Ace Boogy the group
what kenny says about the analog button is huge do not forget that
10:05
yomama847 thanks bro, oh yeah yeah
its not really just making noise, some plugins (like h-delays) analog button saturates the audio, but yeah, pretty useless and he's right, if you wanna saturate something do it separate
soundcloud.com/killakawhi/thehills
Yeah it's all cool until you compress it
To me, Mixing is a HUGE part of my sound. If things aren't moving and sitting in the right way - it's not finished and isn't telling the full story. Every Producer should at least get their sound 90% there with the Mix imop.

for a doubler w Ableton stock plugins u can take a simple delay and set the time to b like 1ms and ~20ms then take a utility and set the width to 0% and also put it in a rack
thank u dad
saucy
P L E A S E H E L P I A M U N H E A L T H Y ableton removed simple delay in the new update its wack
@Z M can you elaborate? I use simple delay for haas effect often, should i not be doing that?
P L E A S E H E L P I A M U N H E A L T H Y Also Izotope has a free vocal doubler and it sounds great!
I bought all my waves G, and thank you for sharing! taking notes on all levels
This Man's Explanations Are Perfect
soundcloud.com/killakawhi/thehills
Couldn’t thank you enough for posting this
For anyone that doesn’t have the plugins, logics stock plugins can do the job of any of these plugins. Like the logic compressors are all emulated from comps like the LA-2A and the 1176
Don't stop uploading these! I don't watch twitch streams but watching Kenny has helped me a immensely 😄
The gems we truly need. Thank you Kenny
man this shit is so helpful. it's super helpful to have some guidance like this, learning a lot of super helpful
I'm sure you're aware how awesome stuff like this is. Good on ya! Thanks, Officer Kenny.
What a brilliant work flow, dragging to the group after tracking. Im a logic guy but I am going to build a similar set up. So inspiring
Thanks dude! This is so inspiring! love ya already
From the bottom of my heart. I thank you for the very well clear breakdown. I still have questions but alot were filled in. Thanks Kenny you a real one. Years later will look back on this when you and Alex have your version of Pensados Place. THANKS BRO
THE GROUP HAS THE CHAIN 💯
Thank you for recording these
Good shit keeping an archive. Subbed.
I hate recording but he's right it's definitely worth learning cuz u will get asked
ִ smh i wish i loved it
wrong energy bro you have to go above and beyond even in the shit you may hate cuz that may be the avenue through which you can achieve success
@@holidaycomplex nah I'll happily produce help write and mix songs all day but recording is so stressful for me I avoid it unless no one around can do it. Especially if the person doesn't pre write so you gotta punch in every few lines
@@lilwombat i get it man but i feel like welcoming the challenge with open arms is a better way of thinking
ִ yeah I used to be like that until I got thrown into a session where the rapper went bar for bar punch in. You just gotta roll with the punches and learn as u go bro real spill
like for real kenny beat's tag is the coolest ever
Thank u for this 🙏🏾 mine kept buffering yesterday
kenny a legend for this one
thank god you're showing people to EQ their delay... even your reverb man that bottom low end is appropriate sometimes or that higher end sheen but sometimes cutting both sounds so much cleaner.
thank you for the re upload
Guys invest in a interface where u can bypass the preamps and buy a good external amp and a compressor.. maybe an eq in the future. I was never an analog person but when ur questioning why ur vocals arent warm and have so many artifacts/sibilance its because ur using 50 plugins to make it sound like an analog vocal chain. Atleast for me 🤷♂️ I used to use so many plugins, now I use like 2.. an eq for additional low cuts and softube cl1b compressor and it sounds craazy.
Great thought! Where would I start?/What is a good external amp or compressor?
@@Paytonwh Bruh, that's like asking which car is the best. Do you know how many of those there are? It depends on so many things like what genre it is, what mic its being used with, what features you want, what type of tone you want, do you want a tone at all, etc. That's not even including the budget considerations. Look up a TH-cam video on that, there are plenty.
@Z M its a 100% false lmao this guy is a jerkoff. anyone who uses only 2 plugins is an idiot
@@BingBongRockety I mean all you *really* need is a volume control and an EQ. compression is just volume automation but way easier. Really talented engineers, especially in the 70s and 80s didnt use much more than that for mixing and mastering. Absolutes in music production in any way makes you an idiot. check yourself BingBong
Kenny a goat for this 🙏
its a blessing 🙇
I highly recommend turning monitoring from "on" or "auto" to "off" on your tracking track, otherwise you will probably get latency in your vocal. Use the direct monitor button on your audio interface instead.
@Nemoon that's correct but Ableton doesn't have the ability to record low latency tracks while it is turned on. If you leave it on your vocal timing will be way off
@@tucker2251 ableton can do low latency monitoring i use autotune while recording, just gotta have a low buffer size setting
solid
@@tucker2251 umm thats how I record all the time lol I put a low buffer on my interface mixer on the computer and its gucci. Obviously depends on buffer and how many/which plugins u have on there but theres usually no latency. Its a bitch when there is tho
@@skayabaya and 100% hit low latency on autotune or that shit will be offff lol
yo kenny dropping the SAUCE sauce!
This was very helpful damn!!
Thanks for the upload!
The group has the chain!
Damn, wish this was for Live 9. Very cool indeed!
evolving is a part of survival
Every time I watch this video I learn more and more
I like the setup. My only hot take is that you could do the exact same thing but bounce the beat into four stem tracks and have a lot more control
That takes more processing power away from your computer when tracking vocals. Why do that if you intend to send it to an engineer? Also, why waste time trying to mix the beat to perfection when you can do that in post.
I need Kenny saying BOOM on a track
soundcloud.com/killakawhi/thehills
I love this so much. Its funny, cus its this simple and all you gotta do is build on it. Record yourself and dont put shit out if you need practice.
Great video Kenny.
13:50 this guy is just a sweet wholesome teng
This is real gems
The Analog settings for H-Comp are actually really good and do add warmth and some cool analog distortion but other than that I would have to agree w you @10:25
TEEJAY probably why Kenny kept repeating when someone is “SCREAMING” lmao used tf out of that CLA that session

thanks mahn.
🙏🏼🐐Kenny 4 da ppl
This man dropping the sauce it's so fucking gooooooood
Been using Ableton for few years always sent my files you to get mix in mastered I wanna start mixing my vocals and recording with effects. Subscribing now!
waves horizon (huge pack of these plugins) is marked down to $300 right now (normally $4,000)
crate digger good looking. Might go jump on this
I need this video. Wooo
Str8 fire
man he giving it out to subscribers, when he took it off of alex tumay, and alex tumay gave it out for free on a live, search for his video and copy the settings its exactly the same as kennys, all kenny did was create a 1/2 delay bus, and a gate in the tracking track
Dulla Bills he explained that at the start and also gave us a few more nuggests Jesus Christ he doesn’t need to do this shit
That’s a sly way to tell us he’s got a Smino x jid track
guessed it lmao
soundcloud.com/killakawhi/thehills
"lemme get a frog"
"smino here, jid here"
baguetti (with JID and Kenny Beats) by Smino dropped 7/21/20
Came to the comments to see if anyone would mention this lmfao
him taking a break to emotionally regulate after having his feelings hurt by a comment 🔥🔥🔥
honestly the part at 16:40 is kinda wrong, sometimes you record a track and the artist moves back from the mic so the vocals become a bit lower on one track, so balancing out the levels in the seperate track comes first and then later on you stop messing with them and raise them all from the group
Gain Staging is key but remember, he doesn't mix nor claim to an engineer. he's just giving out the knowledge
the group is on the chain yall
remember.
explain bro
@@EthanWoodISGAY tried to find u on discord bro , put the link up here ?
Early artists circles better have a understanding of music
Can someone upload an HD version of the video so I can see what settings he's using? Either that or screenshots of the HD version where it shows his plugins settings
Download the template from Reddit
@@ARose47 drop link
Shady7 Plz
remember kids, the group has the chain
the Group AKA the "AUX" if you On Pro Tools
22:50 is the chain walkthrough
for future reference
This is a great starting point but I will say that gates and low cut filters should be on each vocal track opposed to group but it can work both ways. Every vocal take is different and you may need a slower gate attack on fast verse raps while faster attach on drawn out chorus vocals. Also the different tones on songs will require that some tracks cut more bass out than others so eq on the group just as a big picture but do main eqing on each vocal
bro it's a template, it's not set and forget it's for you to touch on these things
@@baltaza I said that cause he said "the group has the chain. You put the chain on the group only." some people new to recording/mixing might take that as gospel not knowing that it's better to have a gate on each channel not just a group
@@billygoatbleats5991 real answer, I didn't thought about that, so real
Entire video cold have been done in 5 minutes
Thank you
damn adapting this method to fl studio took some thought lol
bangloud its just having a mixer channel for the beat, mixer for the main vocal and sidechaining the verses and hooks to the main ain’t it?
@@jmanyea08 simpler. Route your recording track to a mixer track with the EQ and fx
You figure out a good way for fl?
@@mrdollard3859 yeah the tricky part for me was using sends correctly so the main channel can only get the efx and you dont have to adjust anything on the verses and adlibs
@@Bangloudbeats what I did was - set up main vocal bus on the mixer with all FX. Then I have a separate mixer track routed to it for tracking vocals only. Once vocals are tracked , I move them to separate tracks (all routed to the vocal FX bus) for either vocals/hooks/ad-libs . I keep these individual tracks dry as they are all running though the FX track anyway , but I can then adjust each individual track as necessary for any levelling issues etc.
It sounds a lot more complicated than it is, it's quite simple really . If anyone wants the FLP I'd be happy to share
if you need help translating this to fl i can make the template for you and send you it as a flp
What's you insta man?
need
Send it over PLZ
Hit me up on Instagram I'll make a group message for yall and send through email

peak reductio helps love it
For anyone looking for the template, you have to be a twitch sub, and then you have to have your discord and twitch linked and be apart of kenny's discord, he has the link in there for anyone looking.
Did anyone else have any problems loading your waves plugins in this template? My ableton didn't pick them up
after reading your message i baught a subscription but i can't find the template? please help
@@kanukaushal1927 you got a subscription to his twitch?
does anybody have his session download available i can't find it
right lmk
at around 7:30 when he starts talking about the gate, whats a gate? is it a gate in all programs, does FL studio have its own, ive never heard of it
A gate does exactly what it sounds like. Keeps things out and lets things in. Usually you set a threshold so only sounds of a certain loudness get through
There’s different ways to gate. Gross beat can do hella gate work
ive started using fl limiter as a gate
Kenny needs his own waves bundle
Anyone made a logic version of this template?
What kinda eqing would be done in the tracking channel/bus. Just a high pass? or removing problem frequencies as well
"i found out what a pog was yesterday"
Does anyone know where to find a short reverb replacement instead of R-Verb? So maybe a short verb for a Valhalla or fabfilter plugin instead? A response would be appreciated!
Lol never mind finally cracked waves for Mac after pay like 150$ of waves plugins...
@@IOG2K can u tell me where I can find a cracked version of waves for Mac ?
Masterpiece I think this one works; macdownload.org/app/waves-11-complete-v02-12-2019/
Follow instructions exactly how they are! I got stuck at the users part, but that is simply just users in finder
kenny you went to berklee and they didn't teach you how to record vocals?
gold
do you put tune on the vocal group or individual?
Can anyone tell me based on this where in the vocal groups doubles, stacks, and in & outs would go?
sooo fye
look at kenny pause when he talks about early 30's, you know they're coming
Damn. I need a new computer. I'm looking at all those plugins and how low his CPU usage is.
same
u using an external interface for audio output? that was the difference between being able to produce and just hearing crackles on my old laptop
@@sloppyy yh but having an audio interface shouldnt really change how much plugins you can use. thats down to your Cpu clock, cores and your ram
@@momoflows1923 Unless you use big guns like the UA apollo and have a dedicated CPU for plugins
@@masonprice1522 yh but thats ONLY for uad plugins lol
Kenny is awesome for doing this.
Anyone has the template? I don't really use twitch.
He's literally showing u the template. Just make it lol.
bro dont be a leach sub to the homie
google
@@MirzaMusic alraedy made it myself but thanks
did we ever get that compressor side chain for the delay in a video?
What's the best way to download the waves plug-ins he's mentioning for Ableton?
What about auto tune? I imagine it goes in the group
wait wait wait wait.... you track with all those Plug ins ?? you actually print all them ? most people will have crazy latancy issues not to mention cpu
i am having a problem with this setup, i have all those compressors on the group, and then i have multiple tracks in the verses, which overlap into eachother. the audio signal from the first verse now compresses the audio of the second verse and so the second one is way to quiet while overlapping. what can i do against this issue except for placing all the effects on the verses themselves and not the group?
Seems like you either need to add a vocal rider/automation to the vocals to level them before they hit the compressor, or gain stage properly and lower the volume of he audio signal from the first verse
