WHO AM I:
I'm Streaky, a UA-camr and professional audio engineer from Henley, UK. I make videos sharing my knowledge of mixing & mastering from my 25 years of engineering. I've worked at some of the biggest studios in Europe including Metropolis Studios and here are some artists I've worked with - Ed Sheeran, Adele, Jonas Blue, Krept & Konan, Depeche Mode, Paul Weller, Skepta, Naughty Boy, Sigala & many more... I also have a weekly email newsletter that contains tips, tricks & discounts to cool stuff (www.streaky.com/aa?sl=UA-cam) - Навчання та стиль
I personally do this exact trick for lots of things other than vocals. Works really good on bass.
Another vocal effect I use on everything - I love the Waves Rvox, its an automatic vocal compressor but I whack it on all kinds of instruments. Partly because its automatic and I dont have to mess about with any controls, but also because it adds low end warmth while smothing out the volume.
Just love your short but impacting and insightful videos, sir. Keep that up - cheers!
Def gonna use this. I like using these channel strips as a one stop shop for the basic stuff I might like to have on a channel. Gain staging, HP, Gate, and first stage of compression. This is a great way to use just one knob to start giving the transients a squeeze, then more comp can be used further down the chain if it's needed for the mix. Thanks for this.
Being using this setting on percussive materials but never on vocals.. now I got the affirmation I need. Thanks a lot
Can tell how experienced you are streaky cause everything you show us is subtle and not over the top.. like most of us are guilty of doing when starting off 😂
I appreciate that this trick is making it's way out there. (I believe the german UA-cam-Channel "Recording Blog" startet it all.) When I was in my internship at a fully analog studio back in the day, I was taught, that the magic of the SSL is in the low ratios (well below 2:1). This will also make the "fast attack" setting work like a charm on your snare drums (try shaping the transient first with another compressor or TD).
Very valuable lesson by Streaky! Just keep your gain staging in mind - if you hit your input too low, you might miss the point...
The compressor settings (buried threshold, ratio to taste) on this work really well on guitars too. Joe Barresi shows it on a waves video he did using the waves ssl e-channel. The low ratio helps keep things sounding overall a lot more natural than just the typical 4:1 ratio
sounds gay but it works
That's a really great technique! I've been using it for years, and it works every time!
I'm so happy to have found you on youtube, you are a game changer! 🤙🏼
Thanks for all the tips! It helps much !!
You’re the king! I’m already mixing my track and your tutorials with low end and vocals are making my tracks so professional. This one will help me too, thanks a lot ❤
Streaky Rocks - I use your side chain (vocals) compressor trick on the the reverb & delay aux tracks for ducking those effects on vocal tracks which works awesome (advanced stuff) very innovative stuff your always sharing - thanks so much
As an artist who mixes/masters my own work and on my quest to revive Rock to its former glory, every little tip helps‼️
Thank you for not calling yourself a producer, because you are in fact an artist
Appreciate your videos very much! amazing as always!
I love this trip, I first saw it a couple weeks ago, and Someone was referring to it as the “German SSL trick” But he didn’t say you could use it on any instrument, but me being the type I am started using it on vocals, and I really liked how it sounded, but hearing you confirm it definitely makes me feel like I’m on the right track sonically. Keep up the great vids
German interesting wonder why!!!
This guy is the goat 🐐 took me to a new level.....I really appreciate you Streaky cause you don't have to do this ‼️💯
Your every tip is very useful ...im already getting great results in my mix
Thank you for this great video! I appreciate all your shared techniques and being very clear and concise. Yes, I did subscribe and follow you!
Love your tip. It's so appreciated.
Another great tip, Thanks!
I cant fathom how someone would watch your channel (obviously a person that needs audio production instruction) and not be subscribed.
I learned a lot about audio production in other channels, but they were the basics that are taught in school.
Your channel has given soooo many professional tips and tricks (use-cases) of how to professionally utilize these tools to reach the highest quality sounding results past basic understanding of use.
Its like someone showing you how to throw a curveball versus a prop pitcher showing you the little tips and tricks to get past the basic understanding of how it works.
Anyone thats used your tips has heard the drastic improvement on the quality of their mixes by doing so and knowing these tips and tricks across all the different instrumentations and channels is the difference between good amateur and pro.
So grateful for your channel and keep up the amazing work!
Streaky's tutorials are the best ! wow ! vocals sound so much better
That slight boost of the eq really brought it out too 😮
Great video, keep it up 💯
Solid bro! Definitely gonna try this on my next mix!! 😎💪🏿
Great tip! I always struggle as the first thing I do after cleaning and subtracting is trying it with the glue comp or maxxvolume or even automation but these settings are money!!!
I always use RX's Leveler module to process vocals for levels and thickening. Works wonders.
Thanks Streaky, I will be using that one.
i am going to say this alot more times , he is def the most humble Engineer ive seen !
All Hail Streaky! I have a bluesy rock tone voice and this setting cleaned up my vocals beautifully! No bull! You're a lifesaver (baby)! Just plain fantastic!!!!!
As soon as I heard the master I smiled. I'll try this trick foshure. Thanks a lot, and yes I'm subscribing.
Thx! More tricks like these please.
love your content. Thank you so much. 🙌
Heck yes dude. Thank you.
Thank you so very much and hello from Texas USA! Your videos are awesome!
Always great advice
Really appreciate this compressor trick. I’m also enjoying your mixing and mastering courses…..
Can this trick work with any compressor?
Thank you for this. 💪🔥
Really great technique and explanation. I only discovered this a couple of months ago and made a video about it as well showing it on instrument tracks :).
Nice, yeah it’s a winner
Great technique. I saw this before with an ssl channel for kick drums. Thank you
Hi Streaky! This is great! I can clearly hear the compression. ❤
Btw, if you're game on... could you try to review the SSL (native) Vocal Processor 2 as well and what are your insights about it? Cheers!
There are lots of compressor tricks for vocals but the ssl is quick/easy and has a recognizable sound
dope trick! appreciate it
Amazing trick this, an old SSL one from the 80s I hear. Technically the ratio starts at 1 not 0 but that's just nitpicking. Also works really well on bd and sn.
I love the retro 80s vibe of the tune.
Nice, I hear the difference.
Good A/B showcase 😊
wow. best tips i have ever seen for 5 years!
This setting sounds good on everything!
agree
Yes, the classic ssl compressor trick, this is gold. Just beware that the input level is also very important here. What is your gain stage, -18? Best regards!
For sure smoothed it right out. The other obvious thing is .... the importance of getting a great vocal (or anything for that matter) is the capture which you / they for sure did. Curious are you using the Spaced Out plugin for the delay / reverb? Vocals sounded great.
Thank you, sir!
Excellent video, totally makes sense. Only comment would be that a verbal mention of correct gain level on audio region would be very helpful to many, as I’d assume this would make or break how well this technique works.
Not really if you’re not going in too hot then all should be good
Streaky is a GOAT !
Thats sick!
You are the greatest, I don’t care what anyone says. There is no one like you when it comes to this mixing stuff sir !! You have helped me tremendously🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
same with me dude, I don't see why people who don't even produce think they have the right to comment dumb stuff on helpful videos like this
Agreed!
Believe in Streaky 🐐
ty Streaky
You have given me more information than all the Mixing Engineers combined, on UA-cam.
I truly appreciate the tips and tricks and how you go the extra step with settings
Those settings have given me a place to start to better understand what I'm doing.
Cheers mate. 8-)
Goodness, I can dig it. 💪🏿💪🏿
Great video.
Great video! My question is.. what version sounds closer to the hardware? I’ve always been in the box and I’m curious to know what you think 🤔
Thank u !
I was gonna try this with a R comp but I didn’t know how!
I’ll use a ssl now
Another vocal effect I use on everything - I love the Waves Rvox, its an automatic vocal compressor but I whack it on all kinds of instruments. Partly because its automatic and I dont have to mess about with any controls, but also because it adds low end warmth while smothing out the volume.
You're Amazing thank you 😊
Killer bass..👌👌💯💯 As the track itself..
Also good for SSL BUS COMP setting on Master, low or close to lowest threshold and then 1.50-2.00 Ratio max. . glues like hell. release on auto.
I think this is the best plugin for drums!
Great tip, thanks!
One other thing though:
This goes for all emulations of the SSL Channel strip. It's about the EQ. Maybe a bit off topic here, but hope you don't mind me sharing and actually wonder what your thoughts are on this.
The EQ of the channel strip is not calibrated accurately. For instance. If you use a low cut filter and set it to 70Hz, it's not actually removing everything under 70Hz. You can test this by putting a parametric after the channel strip, so you can see what's actually happening. For some reason ALL emulations have this 'issue'. I wonder why not a single company has addressed this strange feat. Or I must be missing something...
I mean it's definitely true what they say "Use your ears".
absolute gamechanger for making vocals sit just right and controlled in the mix!!
Bro when he says that this is not the normal gluey waves compressor, is he saying that its better? Cuz he always use that waves black compressor in a lot of videos. Idk if i undestood wrong.
@@nashse7enusually that comp is used for mix buss just for a bit of glue, that’s what I picked up anyway
That's crazy good...
Bossman your videos are helpfull and i look forward to more theses people have nothing better to do in life
Smooth!
I do this. It was how I learned compression before anyone told me I was doing it wrong. I do this exact thing and then back off the threshold if there’s too much compression and it works really well and fast. I thought everyone did this lol.
This can be done with any compressor
Great video information 🤩👍
Perfect thanks
Please your is read my email send
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your time and expertise - please ignore the wankers who don’t - my son and I truly enjoy your channel - keep the videos coming
متابعك من المملكة العربيه السعودي | انت الافضل 👍🏻🤍
I heard the eq boost at 2k first. Added some grit into the comp.
Hello, thank the Gods for finding your channel.. the question is, can I use this method on drum group processing? as well as other sounds of the middle and overheads?
Mind blowing 🎉🎉
Top tip!
Yes, it sounds expensive right away and it goes into the mix like a best friend of a track, haha. This is a must where there's a lot of instruments like pop music, but for balads with just piano for example you can't go too far with compression on a vocal ... The more "stuff" in a song, the more compression on vocal so it doesn't go out of the track. Great video. p.s. And it's counterintuitive, because compression"eats"high frequencies and you want that so it goes into the track. So it's like far away, unreachable to average human. He's a star. When you put those highs up, and switch off the compressor the singer is your average Joe, your neighbour in the kitchen. And no chick wants your neighbour Joe. They want a star, hahaha.
Nice share!!
best teacher ever im currently taking his class he offical
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this.
In which cases will you go for this technique instead of using the standard way to compress ?
Do you think that this technique work well also with an SSL 9000J ?
not tried it...please report back
Thanks 😊
Glad youtube recommended this channel i've actually gained alot from this guy.
I tried this setting on my rap adlibs.....dope
@LanewoodStudios did this video around 2 weeks ago and the results are phenomenal on many different instruments.
Yeah works on bass really weep too
@thetathat8939 It's nice huh ;).
thank you!~~
Professor Streaky in rare form..
The Legend of Streaky.........strikes again.
hi streaky. i have a question about your course. i am using cakewalk by bandlab as my daw. will i still be able to make the most of your course with this daw? will i be able to use your mixing templates and mixing presets?
Hi Streaky! Can U get the same effect with default Logics plugins? Thank U!
Thanks. Could you show pls the difference between Neve and SSL ? ✨🙏✨
Streaky, what brand of white T-shirt are you using? Need one...Amazing tutorial btw!
Hi there, can this be done on an Analogue compressor plugin that has an Attack dial? If so, what setting would be ideal for the Attack or is it to taste? Thanks. Chris
Knew this 2 yes ago..thanks streaky
💪🏻
❤You are the best
Se tivesse suporte em português eu comprava seu curso amigo, sou do Brazil e admiro seu trabalho! abraço
Great tip, but just to clarify - at what level is the vocal going into the compressor? That would surely affect the ratio amount and therefore give a different result?
Yeah don’t go in hot, you can always place a gain plugin before if needed
Yeahhh it works so well i was surprised 😮😮😮😮😮at how gluey and it levels it excellently...but on a side note what is that song ...it sounds so good
