I'm 1 minute in and you already hit them with the BIG ONE! I was literally JUST talking with a client about this tonight. I am mixing her 2nd EP and she asked why this one sounds so much better so far. I told her it's because you took all those tips I gave you and you gave me PRISTINE tracks to work with this time! :D
@@MadRezStudios Easy isn't what really matters to me personally it's the quality I can get out of them! Everything just sounds soo freaking good lol. Easy definitely helps tho too!! :D
My favorite tip was vocal comping to get the perfect lead take. I’ve always heard of doing this but the way you broke it down helped me fully understand why I should be doing it from now on
Vocal comping is a must in the professional vocal world. Some artists dont always need to but even some of the most talented artists use the technique to really get the very BEST performance for the song.
Dang, this makes me wanna jump right into the booth again after yrs of stepping away. I'm the artist, but now I kinda feel like learning to engineer just to apply these useful tips.
You literally just saved my life. I just realized I've been digging my own grave for several months now after watching your video. You have no clue how much time I've spent on TH-cam watching mixing and Mastering videos, my mixes still sounding like crap and me thinking I'm probably just unlucky or bad at mixing when the problem has been bad vocal recordings the whole time. You just got a new subscriber!
I wasn't going to subscribe because my "Stupid-Self" was like, I didn't learn anything new... BUT, NOT ONLY DID I LEARN NEW THINGS...being reminded was great! THANK YOU! 😘
Love the bonus tip, vocal presets, very smart for establishing a consistent unique production style. Just like recording artists develop a certain sound, so it is with production artists. For example Quincy Jones had such a unique production sound. You can hear his influence across the board regardless of the artist he was working with and even if you can't name the artist or the song, you know that Quincy produced it.
Thank you!! The first minute of the video literally explains the most important thing to newer tracking engineers if you get a super clean recording the mixing will be easy as fuck
Your screen saver is exactly what I have on my 55 inch TV all the time I don’t even watch TV I just have that background always moving. I get a lot of inspiration from all the stuff I see and I love the movement. I am a MacGyver type of guy I can literally build anything. I’ve been giving this a lot of thought lately making my own sound booth and watching your video actually gave me inspiration. I already have it built in my head and I have the best idea and I’m going to build it and do a TH-cam video. I think I will be the very first one to ever do it! I have a feeling I will inspire some people the way you inspired me. Thank you 😊
20 years ago when I put my first recording online. Somebody commented that sounded like I was reading off paper and could even hear it in the recording and ever since then I never read off anything when recording. I actually don’t even write down anything anymore which makes it easy to write while driving to my full time job but also makes it real easy to forget stuff
Humble request: can you please show us what to look for when doing the EQ sweep, and the C6 MB? I understand we’re looking for harsh sounds but sometimes we misjudge these sound. Sometimes I’d have 4 or 5 bands with narrow Q that I’ve dumped down! Thank you professor 👨🏽💻
I won't stop until I get the vocal perfect all of the way through, it gives me a solid continuous signal that's easier to mix plus it will make you a better artist.
@@RINORAMGOOSE love it man! These are the key fundamentals for getting solid recordings. As long as you use these tips, you’re doing everything you can to ensure the best quality
@@MadRezStudios I would add one small tip that my friends have laughed at me about, but I’ll stand on it for ever it’s to drink water stay hydrated, especially between takes
Bro u saved my ep lol i didnt understand why my vocals were not sounding like the music i like and realised its my recording technique, i used to double and triple everything even the verse , it would completely take away the tone and texture of my voice , i already dropped one of the singles but now i know wats wrong after using ur info to record today it sounds like how i want . bless uo🔥🔥🔥
@@dantelway9819 yo that’s epic to hear man! Recording is more important than the mix for dam sure and it’s too often overlooked. Glad this video helped you bro! Cheers to your EP
I recommend to buy Neumann 105 blk and ssl 2+ sound interface. With that 2+, the 4k button...I promise you'll never going back. I had many recordings in my apartment and each time the artist listen they always said: "Yo, its sounds that I'm in the booth".
7:09 homie was killing it! I couldn't hear him but his body language show him putting a lot of energy in his rap. I wish you'd put a link to his video in the description.
Thanks for those great tips. I will surely put it in practice and have it written down for me to follow. It would be better for me from my opinion to have some examples showing me the the difference between not doing it the right way and not doing it the right way. I'm just starting and want to have the best way to learn faster. Great video bro
Make sure to download the E-Book for the step-by-step written version. First link in the description. And yes I agree I have some more content for recording coming soon, stay tuned!
Great stuff. I am a beginner at home recording and I always get frustrated in recording professional-sounding vocals. Watched a lot of tutorials and this is the one that really made sense to me. Keep it up! You got a new subscriber here. :)
Exactly the tutorial I needed and one I will be revisiting a lot until it all sinks in. Such a great presentation of a huge bunch of well-tested experience. Thanks buddy. Subscribed.
I’m a newby. I just set up a studio in my closet☺️, so after watching this vid gotta tweek it a lil and do some work with recording my vocals. So I appreciate this vid. It’s helpful to my process.👊🏾
Even though I knew 90% of this, it still brought new information and ideas to me. So thanks bro, appreciate you taking the time to do this! Much love🙏💙
I loved this video. High energy, to the point, helpful tips that I can use right away being new to this. Ironically I have built the same type of vocal booth with moving blankets, doubled up. I need the lights though ha ha. Thanks so much and looking forward to more of your videos. I really appreciate your approach and common sense advice.
Thank you a lot man this is very informative and a great reminder on how to get the best vocals possible in any circumstance. ( home studio here lol 😂) and it’s not half bad. My bro has the official studio
appreciate the tip. could u make a future video abt like vocal effects for a more interesting mix other than delay and reverb like flanger or vocal production i think its called if im not mistaken
Be sure to check out my mixing vocals from start to finish video for some dope effects like that! But yes more videos like that to come for sure! th-cam.com/video/3FEoWVci2_s/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely! These tips were mainly about getting the proper quality of recordings but proper timing and tuning by setting the BPM and key if the song is critical for a tight sounding performance.
Hey bro! Thanks for your advice, this and your mixing mini course has really stepped up my game. I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I think you should consider using a De Esser on your voice overs, it might be my sensitive hearing but I find it a little bit harsh. Love your content, subscribed!
Thanks bro! I agree actually I have been noticing that too. Ironic teaching a "how to mix vocals" video and have harsh vocals in the tutorial! 😂Note taken!
Im happy because I understood everything and I speak Spanish uchdvc that means that I'm a pro on English and now I know how to get better vocals, but you talk so fast!!
Very informative and inspirational! You gave a lot of insightful tips with really good explanations and examples to make it easy to understand what each tip is and why it’s important. Great job dude!!!
Thanks Bro... this is very helpful. I watching this at the right time, when I am trying to set up a room studio-is with my limited resource. You have a new follower/fan here😊
Of all the tutorial i watched in TH-cam. This is my favorite. very detailed and you can really tell he's very dedicated and very experienced. Thank you so much ❤️
It's never to late to do something. Yes , i found your video is a bit late but it's very important to my music hobby. Thank you a billion times and big love from Viet Nam. Btw, i just subcribed your channel already. Have a nice day !
Bro thanks for the video. You've reassured me that I'm the right track. Everything you discussed was something I've gone through the pain of trial and error to get my studio right. Four years later this self taught engineer, who still has a lot to learn, has become a preferred engineer. I was just tripping like when you showed your booth, I got moving blankets to control my sound, there were times I literally had to teach new clients of how important mic positioning is. All the editing parts really had me laughing because when you show them how many "hard breaths" they take and all the lip smacking and saliva build up that gets recorded, I tell them I have to "comb through the vocal" before I can get down with the vocal. The dubbing vocals and then panning them was something I experimented with before I started actually recording others, I was my own guinea pig lol. Respect bro and I appreciate the reassurance, keep doing your thing bro.
You are a star.kkkkkkk. i was told that i don`t have to use a vocal temp with preset effects already added because they distort the vocals on recording. its like they wanted to hear how bad i sound without effects then they can prejudge me.
Bro, awesome. I am trying to record myself beatboxing. It is a lot harder than I thought but I’ve already taught myself photography and videographying. This part of the journey I guess was only natural. Do you have any advice that is actual?
Definitely want to work with you I’m also a tech and mic guy I got some crazy hardware to run by you this is a dope vid hope to have you on my show one day

Going into a neve 1073 mic pre makes a huuuge difference after your treated your room
So if you don't treat your room, the Neve 1073 will not make a difference?
@LuciferVro Put blankets around my recording area? Like on the ground? or you mean put blankets around on the wall?
This is a MASTER CLASS on how to record
A pre amp if you can afford it , is a great addition to a studio , with a eq setting , I use a warm audio pre amp so greatv
