Great stuff! But you never actually played the clip so how are we supposed to know what you are talking about if we cannot hear the effect?

[@7ars471]

This video seems to be more about the concept of doing it in general but i do agree maybe for the next video using vocals from an already released song that can be played would be beneficial

[@englishoakrecording]

Thanks for the feedback! In my newest video I went back and touched on this video with audio examples, while also providing some new information!

God bless you brother. It’s refreshing to see a creator deliver quality advice and content from the ground up. With your professionalism, I’m sure your subscribers will be more than you can count!

Well, I got it and makes perfect sense to me! Thanks for sharing that! I love the clip preset option, I don't think that's in Logic but could possibly automate it. Anyway, thanks for sharing! :)

In Logic look through the pointer tool selection options. Shortcut is "T" to open the pointer tool selection. There should be a gain tool. :)

What is the name of your monitor speakers

[@englishoakrecording]

They're Focal Alpha 65's. Focal now sells them as "Focal Alpha Evo" monitors. They look a little different but I'm sure they're similar!

I just wanted to say your studio is sooo beautifully decorated! Congrats

[@englishoakrecording]

Thank you!

Brilliant! Straight to the point, informative & simple to follow for a simpleton like me! haha 😁
Don't know how you only have 386 subscribers as you deserve more! 🔥

Newbie producer/mixer (but long-time singer/songwriter) here👋 Curious why de-easing manually is preferable instead of with a plug-in just throughout? I guess so it’s not too intense throughout? Sorry if that’s a dumb question! Total newb and trying to learn all I can😊

[@englishoakrecording]

I find the end result to be a lot more controlled sounding when I manually de-ess, but there's certainly time's where I'll use a plug in too.
I wanted to highlight the detail manually de-ssing could bring to a mix because a lot of people who do what we do often chase the next piece of gear or plug in.
"If only I had this new de-esser my vocals would sound perfect"
But in reality we already have the tools right in front of us!
Thanks for asking :)
