    It’s great people like you that allow me to have an education in the audio industry without the massive amount of debt. I’ve learned so much from TH-cam and your videos are some of the best and detailed I’ve seen. Thank you for being awesome!

    I love how you're literally able to sing exactly what you need to cut! As a vocalist, it allows me to really connect to my DAW from that angle and work with that knowledge better. I'm able to hear what I need to hear a lot better because you sing it to us in an isolated manner too 💕

    One of the first videos I've been able to fully follow and comprehend on studio one so far. This not only gave me new inspiration and guidance to correction, but it broke down simple explanations of technical jargon so that step by step I could draw out a real road map and get started with little to no questions asked. Fantastic teaching, thank you very much!!!

    Excellent content. I really love how you take us step by step and show the results after each step, helps train the ear. I like the simplicity of the approach too. The results are really good considering how few plugins you used. I'd love a video about parallel compressions. Do you prefer to use a mix knob or a send? When WOULDN'T you use parallel compression on a vocal? Thanks!

    @EdExploresScotland 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your videos are invaluable. I've never been happy with my own vocal in a mix, probably because for most of the time I can't sing. But on those rare occasions when I thought my vocals were no' bad, they just didn't sit in the mix. Too much footering and fiddling with this effect and that effect and in the end you totally lose what the vocal is all about. I've just finished a song using your advice and it's probably the first vocal I've really been happy with. Thank you.

  • @OsagieIsaacHRB
    @OsagieIsaacHRB 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    thanks for this, for some reason now i understand what is being done during eqing and with immediate practice i can see how it has changed my mixing DRASTICALLY, the way you boost those frequencies while trying to find the unwanted ones before cutting them out makes it so clear on what to cut out...im sooooo happy about this... thank you

  • @AlexTritok
    @AlexTritok 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I tend these days to grab a dynamic EQ to tame the "bad' build-ups frequencies that occurs on only a few spots of the track.Feels more natural as static substractive curves sometimes tend to act too much where I don't want to. Static Eqs moves on high-pass filter , and boosting air are OK of course. Nice video anyway !

    • @MixingGBP
      @MixingGBP 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Exactly. I would have used a DEQ for that super narrow cut he did on the 2.5khz frequency of the “don’t beliEve…” he called annoying.

  • @shan5445
    @shan5445 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was mixing vocals this week. After a lot of trial and error, I decided to start all over again and use slight adjustments which open up the vocals, a touch of analog delay to get it sounding brighter the rest of the vocal sounded warm but had to take out some of the mud and tops so it doesn't sound tinny. The vocals are now sitting in the mix better. All using studio One stock plug-ins although I have Waves plug-ins, which I haven't used yet. Good video but you are right to try and get a good signal coming in first so you don't have to waste time fixing things.

    @anishranjansarkar1969 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    He is a good guide, I have this experience that what many plugins can do actually a few plugins also do same thing. So he is correct don't over think, achieve the sound with ease and that may be with many plugins or a few one that doesn't matter.

  • @dahlbaker
    @dahlbaker 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I went overboard on studio (bedroom) treatments and found "the process" much easier to hear. It makes sense that the only boost for vocals could be applied to the make up gain inside the compressor.

    Hi, I'm french and starting in mixing my own songs. Hard and long job !
    Warm thanks to you, because with subtitles even in english i learned a lot here with this video.
    I love the fact that :
    No need for hundreds plugins to have a voice sounding good, some EQ, compressor and a little tear of reverb and here we are.
    Yes, your voice is already sounding great, yes, your mic is a 300 $ one, but can i dream that with a Senneheiser BF811 and lot of work on voice (i mean during the record) i could have a neat sound anyway ?
    Once again thanks for this tutorial very helpuf, i just to dive into Studio one and work hard now !

    A bientôt ;)

  • @Necropheliac
    @Necropheliac หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I’ve figured out that heavily automating the gain on the vocal track will fix a lot of very nasty problems. You may realize that using heavy EQ or compression to solve big problems will remove a lot of the character of the vocal or will bring in noise. Sometimes a loud phrase or breath or a nasty loud sibilant can be tamed with gain automation more easily than complicating things with a heavy compression or heavy De-essing.
    If the problem is happening consistently on vocal phrases it might be fine to use EQ or compression, but if it’s a one-off or not consistent, then using gain automation can be better because the rest of the vocal won’t be affected.
    I don’t know about other Daws but in pro tools it’s pretty easy to shape the gain on the track just by adding keyframes and pulling them up and down.

    The champion mixer for me is the one who can get what they want with the least amount of plugins. I've been really working on vocals and sometimes I just have a hard time hearing what is wrong with the vocals. But when I find it, and reduce it, the vocals do come to life. Joe, I know you said vocals are fickle but is there a general rule of what problem fq to watch for? Thanks!

Also what can happen is Unless you have your levels set on your mixer, mic or Audio Interface, you can get quieter or louder vocals. it can all become a train wreck and make you not even want to finish the song.
