🤘🏻
davedayssss !! I Used to have so much fun watching your videos back in high school when you wore that green polo, sang feliz navidad and had a special relationship with a certain cardboard Disney celebrity hahah. So funny to randomly stumble upon you like this. I see you've done a loooot of original music since then, just checked out the weezer-ish track want your love, it's very catchy i'll add it to my playlist right away 👍 glad to see you're still rocking and progressing and getting these hard earned views ! very happy for you man 😁
I love you
Love Tom D's voice. Just a distinct voice with tons of character.
Seriously I just love Tom, even though he's a bit on the crazy side, he's still one of my all time favorite musicians. His music has had a major impact on my life.
I’m over here using 3 stages of compression on the vocal. Tom said fuck it I’ll just pin this bomb factory 76 and call it a day. A Legend.
#BigFacts 😂
It was probably recorded into a compressor to begin with too
I actually laughed when I saw that needle fully pin it. I've wasted so much time doubting myself and my overuse of vocal compression.
Whatever sounds good. Do it.
When you listen to We Don't Need To Whisper vocals by themselves they sound more processed than a tube of cheese, but in the context of the full tracks they sound just right. Wonderful stuff.
tom actually isnt a very good singer so if they didnt process the shit out of it you would really hear it lol i still love em tho
“It’s not the gear, it’s your ear.” Love it.
As he sits around amazing gear...
@@fucuszullanti7877 😂
Exactly the meaning of the shirt...
Tom DeLonge has made some of the most influential music in my life. I'd be a completely different person if I never listened to Blink-182 or AVA.
Same lol
same lol
same loL
Same, these angels & airwaves tracks were MONUMENTAL to me as a teenager. Truly larger-than-life
Huh
This is literally one of the greatest albums ever made. Mix included.
AMEN TO THAT best album hands down ever created!
Listen to The Joshua Tree. You obviously haven't heard enough albums lol
Correct statement would be "This is one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to."
@@IceBreakBottle If U2 is the best you've got I suggest you take your elitism somewhere else. At least ggimmie something pretensious and obscure if you're gonna be that guy
@@ThisMankindBand You obviously don't know songwriting. Also that album was Toms inspiration for pretty much everything Angels and airwaves.
Dude I love this whole album, was just playing it the other day, this is so sick to see man thank you 🙏
i love the way he uses plugins that no one gives a shit about and got that powerful sound. Genius!
Olha só quem estou vendo por aqui, sou teu fã, aprendi muito com vc mestre!
@@lightvtproductions obrigado pelo carinho, Vitor. Estou sempre estudando e aprendendo. Um abraço!
Fala mestre vc gosta do Angels and Airwaves??
@@AkidaToritama nunca parei pra ouvir com atenção
Brabooo
I always loved the mix sound of the first Angels And Airwaves album, vocals sounds so clean and strong! And effects are just on point with the band and Tom's vision, that reveeb and delay makes me eargasm
Agree. They have yet to touch that album in regards to the mix and how clean it sounds. Do I dare say it’s even got the best collection of songs as well. Yes I do dare!
Agreed. Which is why I couldn't stick with being a fan of AVA. I got bored. We Don't Need To Whisper was their best put together project
I have been scouring TH-cam for years looking for a good clean breakdown of Tom’s voice.
As a producer, it’s hard for me to determine if what I’m listening to really is in the right direction that some of my favorite artists have done. So please do more Blink/ AvA, Green Day, and more! I’d love to hear individual tracks and hear how my favorite songs are exactly layered to see how they got that sound!
Thanks again!
Sign up for Nail the Mix and you can have access to Tom's vocal tracks yourself
I could never be able to mix Tom's vocals, I'd start to cry from start to finish
Great, more work for the rest of us!
@@AlexFarleyMusic 🤣🤣🤣
His vocals are good here though
@@AlexFarleyMusic Lol the absolute state of you wanting others to fail so you can get more work since you can't get it on the merits of your own work.
@@effyiew7318 That's a complete misinterpretation. I never once alluded to wanting the OP to fail. Not sure where you got that from.
Damn his brothers gonna be annoyed when he finds out Tom uses the stock 1176 instead of his plugin 1176
LOL 😆
To be fair. CLA76 has a very distinct sound that isn’t as clean as the BF76. I used to love the CLA76 but I’m now realizing how much it alters the tone vs just giving me the compression that I want.
@@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy facts here. CLA version blue and blue is all color the BF76 is crisp AF
T racks 76 takes the win
Oh my goodness what a gem of a video!!! Thank you!
Wow, this is really interesting! I love all effects how Tom's voice sounds in any AVA content!
So good!
I love how the boys just smash it… you could never learn this stuff in a conventional class!
🤟
what i love about TLA’s approach to teaching is that even in this free excerpt he went into detail about the decisions he made to get that sound. CLA often skips over the detail even in paid videos. they both do great work but TLA seems a hell of a lot more humble and willing to share his knowledge!
Ever since I first heard Lifeline off their I Empire album I was blown away by the lead vocals and wondered just how hard he was compressed to get that buttery smooth vocal. So now I know. Compressed as fuck. As fuck. 👍🏻
Dude. I am the walrus is my favorite song. I’ve listened to it probably 1000+ times. I will literally sit there and listen to it over and over again, the whole song/certain parts. Like, me just rewinding it over and over again. I know, I’m weird. Thank you for that nugget of info about eq’ing in front of the compressor.
I cant thank you enough for this content. I love you.
Don’t know why every times listening you great work feel like I’m flying. Thanks TLA and Tom Delonge you guys inspiring my lifetime🙏👍
From Bali-Indonesia 🤟
holy shit. the 16 minute bit where one reverb fades in as the other one fades out creates a much more in your face sound. more intimate feeling in the song as the song comes to the climax.
Tom's voice has really changed over time. Not just in pitch but pronunciation, techniques, etc.
Copious amounts of pitch correction is a big part of it, not just being rigidly "in tune" but the distortion it adds as well.
@@wado1942 That, and the after effects from all his health problems, cancer, his back problems, the painkillers, and aging. But I also think he makes a conscious effort to not sound "whiny" anymore based off what I heard in interviews
@@wado1942 He's had copious amounts of pitch correction since Enema. He also had something with his sinuses that fucked him up
Tom had to figure out to how to use his voice fully with Angels And Airwaves. His addiction and alcoholism definitely had an affect towards his voice but I think his age in general. I mean he sings non stop and that has an affect on it too.
I don’t know why I just trust this guy, right of the bat. He is confident and knows his stuff. Every move he makes is logical. Good stuff!
I mean… you should trust him probably because he’s mixed some of the most iconic rock songs of all time?
TLA, can you do this for every Tom DeLonge song you’ve got, I’ll buy ‘em all! 😏
this guy is awesome at mixing!
"It's not the gear, it's your ear". Love the tee!
These vocals sound fucking amazing. Huge props.
So many plosives but fits so neatly in the mix.
fuckin genius! Awesome mix! Made something beautiful even better! Toms voice isn't for amateurs, its a unpolished, raw and so expressive!
Its very polished.
It’s Tom Delonge and Tom D’L-Alge. Top shelf collab!
The vocals at around 16:20 are mind blowing.
I love that he uses reasonably-priced plugins, that most people can pick up without breaking the bank.
this was really cool to see
He's still had Blink's raw voice on this record.
Man this is advanced knowledge! Nice!
This is what im lookking for
LOVE THIS
I've always wanted to hear tom DeLonge's raw vocals and this is beautiful!
You can find AvA stems / Blink 182 stems online. Type in Remix Packs RU on Google, and you'll find them. Lots of pro sessions on there.
@@OverdriveMusic websites like remix packs get their stems from rock band and usually they're not raw, they're already mixed
Wow why’ve I never thought of this
I vibe with this mans passion!
how I would like to hear the mixture of self titled, in asthenia and obvious is incredible
Faux sho! I was stoked to be able to hear raw-ish Tom Delonge vocals in this vid! Id be ecstatic to hear raw vocals off of self titled and watch the mixing process on that!
Best mixes of Tom's vocals are on that album imo
I'm lost without you too
Ryan Hewitt did a video of mixing Obvious
I’m a video editor of 15 years…this was like meeting my long lost twin brother the music engineer
Thanks, Tom!
Great tips there! Gave me some ideas. That is the whole point. Don't copy, but experiment maybe along the same lines.
He's the best!
I wish more then anything he would do a video like this for all the small things or first date
This is gold
Tom Lord Alge is a class act
@ilan this is how we want Tom's vocals on the new album
I believe Tom Lord-Alge is mixing the new album!
I can see such heavy compression, sounds so good though too with welcomed EQ. visual does not compensate for the ears. Cheers and thank you for this
I would love to see how they mixed "dow waste yer toym on meee yer all ready the voys insoyd moy yeaaad"
Jerry Finn produced all of blinks music from 99-04, but he passed away sadly so I don’t think we’d ever see that ;(
@@FallenHyde On wikipedia, the album had 4 mix engineers and TLA mixed "I miss you"
stay focused and on topic lol
I’ve seen this video on TH-cam. Just look up blink behind the scenes I miss you
th-cam.com/video/jrqTbypTVgQ/w-d-xo.html
7:15 is priceless. is that what he thinks about Tom's reverb ?
This is great
super useful thanks
Dayum that raw recording was already fantastic. Super even in dynamics and clean. An assistant probably comped and editted those super well too before they handed it to TLA. Anyone knows where you can learn to record, comp and edit tracks before the mixing process?
A recording school, or find mentorship
I'm starting to learn about the recording, I already understand (to extent) the sound insulation in the room and the microphone/effects and how to use it as a singer, and I assume that comprehension (or absence of comprehension) are factors in consulting with options for producers, engineers and mixing... communication is really important, the same tone volume and emphasis from a singer can be recorded really well and the same thing would be different in a different room or if the mic is closer
Tom's voice in insoide of my yead.
Tremendo!
the reason i'd often use automation for fx instead of a new track is.... I don't have the CPU/RAM to handle 40 sends at once
I think he wanted to get the vocals to spit and bite.
Back in the day when I would pirate music I had a version of The Adventure where you could hear Tom breathe in after every line, like really loudly. Did anyone else have that version? Where was it from?
That was the original version that was leaked on MySpace
How are these people so good?
Practice
Pure genius!!!!!! Vocal sounded terrible in solo, never seen a +14db wide boost! But in the track, it was pure perfection!!!!
URM promoting AVA again makes me unrealistically hopeful that we'll get the next AVA song "Euphoria" on NTM! Supposed to have some big Box Car Racer guitars on it!
so what you think of it
True master.
God I'd love to hear the raw vocals with nothing added to it like in the untitled album
EQ into compression forever!
I love TLA's mixing more than Chris'.
TLA's mixes sound more open in my opinion.
I cannot express how much of a gift this video is for wannabe mixers like me.
I still don't know if the first part of the video is in sync with the audio or he just managed to move his lips faster than the words coming out of it.
wow i definitely learned something. i've been doubling vocals and mixing them left and right for all my demos, but now i want to try this "down the center with the double's volume lower" that he mentioned. i didn't realize i had choices about it
Came back and watched this and learned a ton I missed the first time.
1. On the reverb, his delay is low-passed at 3.8k. Then he cuts out all the low mids and pushes a little bit of highs to get the delayed verb to sit in the mix. You couldn't sculpt it so hard if you didnt low pass first.
2. The vocal EQ curve ends up really just scooping out the mids - but also he's got a slight rolloff into the air frequencies because the boost is lower. I think this ~5.5k boost might be common on TLA rock mixes. I always thought the lack of air was a bunch of analog gear, but I think it's actually just boosting presence without a high shelf boost. *lightbulb moment* It's not the tools - it's how he's using them.
Im so curious what vocal effects did used in intro of "Flight of Apollo" can answer it
I thought I was crazy. Glad to see him say "no to automation"... I do the exact same thing. Though I know for me it hurts the RAM on my cheap PC 😂😅
That's odd. For me it's CPU that hurt's with more plugins used. Are you using a lot of samples and whatnot? As Samples are more RAM based IME. On a cheap PC the CPU won't be as good as say a custom built PC. And nowadays is not the time to be building because of GPU costs, and overall inflation for parts due to the pandemic. Will probably happen for the next 2-3yrs. Best bet if your going to be looking in that time to upgrade your computer would be to buy a prebuilt computer with the right CPU, GPU, and whatever else you can get, then replace what you absolutely must have! For me I MUST HAVE Thunderbolt motherboard on my PC. Which means I have to go INTEL as AMD does not support Thunderbolt. So if I get say the Gigabyte Designare Motherboard(which is great for thunderbolt mobo's)I'll need to make sure everything fit's that when I wanna switch it out with the prebuilt stuff. And if it's pre-built watercooled...look out! That's a train-wreck right there so stay away if possible! Also to this day, AMD has all around issues with Sound based processing! Meaning everything from your plugin GUI's not displaying correctly with an AMD based GPU, to having your DAW crash all the time with crazy errors! Happened to me and I had to switch to Intel, even though the Gamers say AMD beats Intel, that's not true for stability in the recording studio! Just saying.
@@assshakerstudios549 I mis wrote. I meant CPU
@@assshakerstudios549 I have a full on AMD system (5600 GPU , Ryzen 3700). No issues with plugins displaying or errors in Studio One/Cubase/Reaper.
Yeah but he still gets the same effect by processing the vocal parts differently.
@Teej I'm changing from intel... can't wait.
Wow,Tom is also developing the mixing engineer's muscle above his belt, just like CLA.
Imagine these guys walking into a room, and their gut enters the room before they do :D
Seriously though, love these guys. What they say, it works. No bs.
We need to whisper the accapella album is what we need
That shirt says everything "It's not your gear, it's your ear"
TLA: just small tiny increments of equalization 1:56
also TLA: boosting +14 ,5 dB at 5,6 K von vocals
Does anyone know what that de-esser plug in is?
It's the LSR audio VLB902
Hello 👋🏻 Who knows what’s the music is playing at the beginning of the video? 🎸
Would the vocals have been tuned before the mixing stage?
Guess I'm not the only one who thought thought the sound of some plug-ins got worse after PT 5. The stock compressor in particular used to break up and distort beautifully when pushing the output. After PT 5.1 it became a sterile sounding utility tool. It's a shame it changed.
I'd much prefer a sterile comp for most applications. Too many comps on the market aim to color the sound and not the other way around.
That break up wasn't a pleasing break up in my opinion.
nice.
He mixed weezer vox this way too. Sounds awesome
When the 'raw' vocal is played at the start it's already pitch corrected, you can clearly hear it!
Is it? I was wondering since he said “unaffected” vocal tracks..but you can clearly hear auto tune in it..
Yea hes the mixing engineer. Usually vocals get passed onto someone who can give their full attention to making them perfect. And then pass them along to the mixing engineer :)
What I wouldn’t give to have TLA remix Neighborhoods...
Mute button?
I really want to know this, thanks
Did he side chain the reverb with a compressor? He never says
Has his voice been pitched corrected? It's done very tastefully but he is bang on pitch
Tom DeLong is hugely influential in today's emo rap. All of today's (c)rappers use his annunciation. It works great for Tom.
I’m soo glad somebody said this!
so true. machine gun kelly especially
(C)rappers? White boy
@@MIDNIGHT7K what are you?
@@ZumaDogg a money making nigga, white boy
Wow, never thought of using H-Delay with the delay turned all the way down like that to do more of an ADT thing
Sounds like the untitled album, love it
EQ into Comp makes sense to me cause why activate the comp with frequencies you won't keep and freq you want more of should hit comp harder it just makes sense.
What studio?
His home studio in Miami
I had heard Ava recorded in Dave grohls studio , or did some work there at some point, which is a complete neve board. But I’m sure they used more than one studio for certain parts of the original recording
I'd be worried about running out of TOIME when mixing Tom's vocals llooolll
..and this is our new plug in 'The De-Yuhher'
Please please do a video like this for take of your pants and jacket blink 182! Or enema of the state!!! Please!!!!!!
The real question is what did Critter do to Tom’s vocals right after he recorded them? There’s no way Tom sounded like that after recording his vocals lol
Auto-tune, probably.
Tons of manual editing, comping and re-pitching
While I don't doubt that a lot of the vocals are repitched, they spent a shit load of time doing vocals if you watch The Machine behind the scenes of that albums recording. Tom sang really well on a lot of the vocal takes. Its a lot easier to get a good sound in your own home and studio where you're comfortable.
@@michaelpalmer5351 Nah, vocals like Tom’s are ruined pretty easily with too much pitch correction. The take itself also sounds pretty natural. I’m guessing he did a lot of them to get that particular one.
@@HeiseyMotors I do some of my worst shit I ever shat in my comfortable home
So THIS is the face behind the name on the back of so many records
