A lot of consonants are actually in different regions spectrum-wise. There are s, sh sounds that are in the usual 7k+ range Then there are the ch, t, ts sounds that are really hard on the 2700-3500 hz area. If you use 1 deesser for both cases, you will either cover too much or not enough ground. I would usually put the 2700-3500 deesser before applying colouring compression to avoid harshness. Then put the 7k+ deesser right after an exciter, so you’re kinda deessing into the exciter. Sounds counterintuitive, but somehow works wonders.
Love it! Thanks for the kind words. My editor handles some of that, but I pre-process it with a pretty similar chain as my go-to vocal chain which you can see me break down on the channel. 1176 / pro q / deessing / soothe / etc.
I understand, this can be a challenge for sure. A few thoughts: 1. Really get to know your speakers in your room and how mixes that sound great come through your speakers. Pay attention to the vocal level on those songs, and try to match them 2. Acoustic treatment in your room can matter for this type of thing, especially for translating out of the room 3. Understand that this is a skill to be developed, be okay with it taking time, and commit yourself to the process of getting better over time 4. Check out this mix I did from start to finish... you can see me make some of these decisions in real time! th-cam.com/video/a_pMBKQSDDo/w-d-xo.html
i loved the saturation on the verb 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let's go!!! Saturated FX (subtly or not so subtly) are a guilty pleasure of mine lol. Saturate everything!!
Amazing video per usual! I love to see another mixing video, specially with lead and 3 part harmony bgvs
Thanks for the kind words man! And I’m documenting some upcoming mixes… stay tuned!
Fire bro! Love your drum programming!
Thanks man 👊🏽 👊🏽
You're the third pro that I hear this week say that it's better to use multiple deessers. Might need to try that asap
Give it a try!! It works well for me! If you hate it, you deffffffinitely didn't get that tip from me though 🤣

@@danielkostov9489 Great ideas and makes a lot of sense!
Would love to see a studio tour
My studio is just an AI generated green screen 🤣🤣. HAH I kid. I've thought about doing this, this comment may just be the push over the edge I needed!
Great video man. Thanks a lot! ❤
Of course! Glad it was helpful 👊🏽
This is cool!
bandsites.co/ is even cooler!!
Solid list. appreciate it!
You got it! Glad it was helpful 👊🏽
Hey Christian! Great vid man. I was wondering what your chain was for your sm7b? You got it sounding crispy!

@@christianhaleofficial how much gain do you add for the neve preamp in the console? Mine is pretty quiet.
@@CxmLaurenusually 65 if you’re not using a cloudlifter, plus PRO-L2 on the end of the mix chain. SM7 is quiet output for sure
@@christianhaleofficial Thanks so much man. Definitely my favorite channel right now. Keep up the great content!
@@CxmLauren That means the world. So glad to hear you're loving it. Not slowing down any time soon over here.
Set the Vocal levels Right in the Mix is very Hard for me….
