"Thank you so much for this amazing tip! Your explanations are really helping me get my vocals to sit better in the mix. The combination of EQ, compression, and reverb you described brings the vocals out perfectly without overpowering the track. Exactly what I was looking for! Great video, keep it up!"
Hi Will, i just wanted to say thank you! Your Channel is amazing and really helpful. I´ve been producing and releasing electronic music(mainly trance&ambient) in the 90ies and stopped 2002 (the industry was collapsing at that time and i went for other ways to make a living). Last year i found my passion again to produce music and take it again to a professional level. Things have changed quite a bit in the last 22 years 🙂. I´ve learned so many great tipps and modern production tricks from you, so.that I got my sound back to a good level within 6 months and i´ve started to sign tracks with smaller/medium labels. Still improving with each track, so please keep up the great work! Hope to meet you at an industry event and just thank you in person. Thinking about taking one of your masterclasses...
Hell Yeah!! Amazing video, as always! Your channel is the reason I open TH-cam in the evening. Thank you so much for making these video's and sharing your knowledge!!
I think i love you... i do... 2 months that i was try to understand why... now i know it but i also know the name of that technique. Im deeply grateful!
This is perfect timing Will! Working on a vocal track right now lol Edit: i don't have soothe 2 and I'm also using ableton 11 lite (budget) but I've found that if I use the stock Mix-Gel compressor and play with the settings it will blend together nice. Would sidechaining the vocal reverb help it "sit" in the mix better?
@@EDMTips lol that's what gave me the idea, I wasn't sure if that was exclusive to the soothe2 plugin or would translate to stock compressor plugins as well. Thanks for the reply!
Will would you be able to do a vocal chain tutorial - deesser, autotune, eq, compress and reverb in ableton :) many people skip vocals and it is a shame they are important- I am a singer and would love to learn this
@@EDMTips Um.. It's not that I don't like Ariana, I like Taylor Swift little bit more, you know we can't really compare two gems.. they're both great artists in their unique ways..😉 I just like Taylor's artistic style..🤍
@@EDMTipsI think the thumbnail is pretty good 😉I just tried to make a joke out of your thumbnail changing 😂 cause, these days anything about Taylor is like a whole damn another level marketing thing you know 😅😂
before and after are totally different mixes. even the drums are mixed differently. it sounds louder overall - the off beat open hat is way more present for example. even though i think the discussed techniques are great if applied correctly (imo too extreme in this example but this may be for the purpose of the video) I think the before and after are useless if done like that.. the techniques are well explained so it's a bit sad to see it all ruined by the "louder sounds better" comparison show off.
How on Earth do you get away with using Taylor's portrait on your video?! I love her, don't get me wrong, but it is too much clickbait to me. Still like your informational videos for sure, Will!

Always a pleasure .. certainly learned a few new things to be tried when I get back after midnite :)

Absolutely, it would! That's tip #2 :)

Great tutorial, Will 😎
... and yes! Tried it and ... it works!
The cookies look good too 😉
Enjoy ADE
Thanks, Ad! We just arrived - it’s such a shame you and Beata aren’t coming this year. I hope she gets well soon!
Came for mixing tricks, and left with an uncontrollable urge for cookies! Can I have one please mate?

Hey Will, for reverb and delay, any difference between using return tracks vs. audio effect racks with dry and wet chains?
Minimal! :) I like to be able to control things directly from the mixer
That was awesome. Hey I want an oatmeal cookie.
🍪
I was quick this time
Dont forget to Add compressor on master bus To glue everything
I'd class that more as the mastering stage, but yes, that can help :)
0:27 that made me hungry.

How to make minimal tech house like south of saturn ( Repopulate Mars)
Why didn’t you set the monitoring to IN?
Why set auto then record Arm? 1:50

the before and and after ? the after is much louder . how does ducking the instrumental make it much loader.
You made a dead link.
@@benjaminbrown3939 don't know how that happened
Here’s the thing - it isn’t Taylor Swift etc that do any of it - it’s producers.
🙌
Waves Curves Equator does the same as Soothe2 and cost 5 times less.
Not the Ariana thumbnail huh? 😆😂 too smart😌
Not a fan of her??
I’ll be trying another thumbnail later today, too 😬

Ah, it’s just the track progressing so there’s a new high hat that comes in. That’s still a good point, though
Yoo
A very Smarty video 🤣

I'm sure she has bigger fish to fry!
These are well-known techniques. Is there anyone else who didn't know about them. But thank you anyway.
To you, maybe. I guarantee most people don’t know them
@@EDMTips Well, thank you again. Knowledge is the weapon. Always like to watch your videos.
@@akaSVAT Thanks for the support! I appreciate it :)
