Thank you Forest!! I truly thank you for your producing instincts in Studio One!!! You have a the perfect high pace yet still "mentor" ... with your soul/gut instincts and share those musical emotions as you wade through all those during your unfolding of your mix. 🎶
I've been in Reaper a lot lately. I was in ProTools forever, then I moved to Reaper when I downgraded my hardware for an Army trip. Used it so much doing Voice Over work that never went back. Now that I'm doing more music again, I should prollie get a real DAW, huh
This has motivated me so much to get back to recording. I was getting really down on myself because I always feel I sound boring but now I’m gonna let loose and use this vid to make my vocals excellent
Love you're videos, i'm trying to build as a country/pop artist myself, it's slowly getting there but building my followers are my biggest issue at the moment, also I use Studio One 6 Professional, so you're videos are perfect for me
I’m coming back! My son is in hospital at Vanderbilt right now awaiting heart surgery. When you ask where did I go, I would answer with taking care of my family with no free time to make videos at the moment. Will be back as soon as I can.
Hi Forest, Happy New Year! Hope this year brings you and your family great joy. Also, wanted to say thank you for not giving up on your fans with all you've gone through over the last couple years. The amount of time you put into these videos are so greatly appreciated. They help us tremendously. Really looking forward to following this channel, being a Studio One user.
This is awesome, Forest! So glad you started a dedicated Studio One channel. As my main DAW of choice your channel will be super helpful in producing my own music. You’re a great educator. Thank you for all your help. A Very Happy New Year to you and wish you much success for 2024. 🙏
@@StudioOneLab Thank You very much, Forest. Hope you’re doing well. Looking forward to releasing some of my songs this year using Studio One and the knowledge from you.
Here we go! Hey Forest!!! I went with Studio One last year on your recommendation! Bam!!! This is great, brother! I learn something new in S1 every time i use it. Keep it coming!
Excited for new content. Heavy Logic user her (15 years), just started with S1 subscription. Many advantages over Logic: Melodyne integration, consolidated plugin window, bouncing out stems/tracks. Bouncing out 50 + stems with Logic has always been time consuming and not always flawless. Thanks for great content, Alex
Love your content Forest, and excited for this new channel as I am a Studio One novice. The thing I struggle with the most is plug-in chains, what order things should go in, what should be sends, mastering plug-in order. Etc I would love to see a video dedicated to this in the future. Thank you!
Congratulations on your new channel! I became fan of Studio One in 2020 and that’s what use for all my productions now. Looking forward to seeing more awesome content from you. Happy new year!
I use to only look up Logic Pro X stuff because thats what I work in but after years of creating music I know how to transfer the knowledge. Just here to support brother and gain some knowledge.
Wow thank you so much you managed to explain what I was trying to understand for two years in 7 minutes. I know this sounds exaggerated but trust me its true. I have been having issues.
Helpful video Forest ! I follow your main channel too and i am also obsessed with studio one. Feels great to see you maaking content specifically for studio one. Lots of love and best wishes !
Just subscribed i am so excited to learn new stuff from you sir ...im so blessed that i never tought that i can afford free lesson from a biggest heart in whole world..i dont have a good room but walking on your steps putting a cheap headphone and do what i learn from you...god bless you sir.
We do many things in a similar way. I do like to boost high frequencies ahead of de essing, for a more consistent HF sound, I also use parallel multi band limiting with a Waves L316-a 16 band limiter which automatically tames frequencies that pop out of your vocal and adds more fatness. Can be done with a multi band compressor with a high ratio too. This kind of compression/limiting adds body rather than tickling the tops of the waveform. Especially useful if the singer has variable timber throughout their vocal range. In this type of parallel compression 20:1 fast attack 8ms, fast release 30ms, 10-12 db reduction per band. Transients still present in the non parallel channel. Saves a ton of time on eq moves.
Brilliant stuff Forest! This is going to be a great channel. Quick question (or maybe a future topic to cover?). Which drum sound set from the included, stock Impact sets could you use for modern Country /pop style music and how would you edit/set them up (I see a lot of electronic, edm type sounds that are great for this)
Please build a simple Studio One guitar vocal template for singer songwriters at your new Studio One Lab channel!!!! I’m going to enjoy this channel!!!
Great example, most tutorials they don't mix it very well, but in this case this is truly a high pro level mixed vocal. One little thing that can be unbeneficial to a begineer : when you say "always have a low cut" actually there nothing that have to be always say, and maybe the low cut has already been applied, maybe the vocal sit nicely with the phase and when put a low cut the phase shift make the whole mix less good, just a small thing to know most of the time theyll be good with a low cut but don't use it just "you have to" (talking to the beginners).
Great video, we've followed your other channel for a while and it's always been super inspiring and useful. In your opinion, what level should you aim for as an average when tracking vocals? I always see varying advice but the vocals you record always sound so good
Hey forest, I have my new focusrite interface, midi keyboard and my guitar. I understand the popular answer to the question 'what daw should i get as a beginner' is that each DAW is unique and it's a subjective answer. With that being said, it's too expensive to go about trying all these daws. Now having said that and with that being said, is Studio one a good place to start?
0:38 - 0:40 Yes, a good singer, no question. But those thin lines on the waveform on the vocal track indicates, that this is already "melodyned" 🙂so no autotune is needed. 😀 Good tips anyway! Thumbs up

Excellent instruction. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I really do appreciate it.
awesome thanks for this tutorial, expecting more tutorials from you related to mixing and mastering would be great!
I’ll work on that for sure.
Starting everything up in Logic, but I’m here for this, Forest! Happy New Year
I usually start with Logic too but it ends up in Studio One way or another.
Good job bro! Happy to be here from the beginning of this channel.
My day 1s
@@StudioOneLab
Absolutely 😁. I'm here bro.
Yay! It must be a new year gift.. Forest using studio one, MY DAW.. this is so great! Thanks 😊 and 88th sub! Let’s go!
My favorite DAW for sure.

Thats how I started out too. It does apply across all DAWs for sure.
Thanks, Forest!
I use Reaper but still learn a ton from your videos because so much of the information you share is universal across all platforms. Great job.
I hear Reaper is great, use what works for you! For sure applies to all DAWs.
Thank you for this video. Please produce more !
Wow thank you so much you managed to explain what I was trying to understand for two years in 7 minutes. I know this sounds exaggerated but trust me its true. I have been having issues.
Glad you found it useful!
Hi Forest - Thanks for taking the time to put together awesome videos like this!!! It is so helpful!!

Great explanation. Thanks.. will try in my next audio
Thanks for this info, I just subscribed to your channel
More videos coming!
That VT1 really popped those vocals out!
Probably my favorite Studio One plugin!
Great video! I use studio one and this video was super helpful.
This is great, just what i need, looking forward to more content 💥
Great video. Looking forward to more studio one vids!
I'm here. Let's see what you have going on with the new channel. I am a Cubase user. Studio One is very similar though.
Awesome content. Congratulations for this new channel and good luck buddy 👍🎉🎊

Beautiful!!!!
Great video!
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this new channel and the content that is Presonus based
Thank You for the useful information
Wow please upload some more videos 🙏
Thank you for this :)
Understandable ❤

Just not clipping!!!! Stay in the green and yellow.
Nice video🎉
very nice tutorial sir ....mor tutorial plz..
This is sick
Thank you so much..
Please start from intermediate level
Because there are lot of stuff available for beginners on TH-cam already
Both beginner and intermediate will be covered! There are others on TH-cam yes, but no other coverers the musical style or the way I do.
Great video how would you mix this if live streaming a church service. Especially when the praise team starts to sing?
that was amazing - now do beats please!
We need you back Forest.
Great content Forest.
I'm surprised you moved to S1. It is supposedly the easiest to learn.
Thank you
Hey forest, I have my new focusrite interface, midi keyboard and my guitar.

With that being said, it's too expensive to go about trying all these daws. Now having said that and with that being said, is Studio one a good place to start?
Yes, if you have a PC, Studio One is the best place to start. Garageband is the best place to start on a mac.
@StudioOneLab Thank you.. also thank you because I have a Mac and hadn't even thought about windows vs mac
Exited about this channel. What's that VT1, is that a Sphere plugin only?
Its possible one of Studio Ones best plugins imo. Must be just sphere.
nice !
This is excellent. But you forgot to mention that your reverb is on a separate track, which is critical.
Forest, are you coming back to TH-cam? I know you have a ton going on but just wondering?
0:38 - 0:40 Yes, a good singer, no question.
But those thin lines on the waveform on the vocal track indicates, that this is already "melodyned" 🙂so no autotune is needed. 😀
Good tips anyway! Thumbs up
Even on a melodyned vocal I’m running light auto tune as well! Just part of my process right or wrongs
@@StudioOneLab In studio work, there is no right or wrong IMO.
When it sounds good, it sounds good.
Thanks Forest!!! Which version of Studio One do you recommend?
I’m a go all in type of guy. They have the best DAW I think so I would go Sphere subscription. Thats what I do.
Hi Forest, do you have a website or way to inquire on your cost to mix and master a song?
Check out musiccityplaybook.com
It has melodyne all ready on the Vocal.
I don't even use studio one,
I just want more forest whitehead.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@forestwhitehead can you do a comparing logic to studio one?
@@Yoshipiano145 Yes I will for sure.
Dope. What mic was used on his vocals?
Thanks Forest. 😊 👍
No problem 👍
I only have the regular compression
I have studio One professional
should I be calling PreSonus?
I have the Artist version, which doesn't seem to have Auto Tune or VT1.
How can I get more of your vocal lessons plus how to record
Where have you been these last seven months?
any alternatives for antares autotune and vt1 for those who dont have studio one +?
do studio one have auto tune???
Are this stock plugins for studio one
do you make pre sets?
Where did you go?
How did you get auto tune on studio one??
Mix and master a rap song please ❤
"raw vocal"? bro that track is heavily compressed already
I don’t think any auto tune is needed it’s a good vocal
You’re right. This singer was awesome.
No ProEQ? No Vocal Rider? No DeBreath? No SlapBack? No Voice Doubler? Wow, I use like 10 plug-ins or more on a vocal track.
These vocals are alreday passed thru an external preamp
