Man THANK YOU. This is the first tutorial where I’ve seen someone explains what everything actually does instead of just telling you to change the level. 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
I really hate my Rode NT-1a because I do feel like for rap and my style of music I don‘t need all that high end and rather more body in my voice making it warm and clear. This was helpful and I‘ll start by de essing now it make sense
This is very helpful! Thank you for the efforts, the way you mix it is really accurate & your explanation is technically easy to understand. You are really underrated, I gotta tell you..

You’re very welcome! Thank YOU for leaving a comment 😊 Even though the Rode Shock-mount is great and very effective, I found it to be a bit too big to be on camera. It would take a big chunk of the camera shot so I just bought a standard shock-mount on Amazon for talking head videos like this one.
I'm honestly thinking about moving to a new mic. It seems the Nt1a has a significant bump in frequency in the 5-10kHz range which is almost uncontrollable. It's so sharp and aggressive on pretty much every singer I've used it with. I can even hear it in your dialog in this video. The syblance is crazy aggressive. My de-esser can't even manage it without the entire track sounding crushed. I'm not sure why they've done this. Maybe to try to give the vocals shine, but it doesn't, it's just harsh and annoying. If you listen to professional mixes, none of them have this high end boost.
@@geneleoneii3013 I’ve always preferred the NT1 4th Generation because of its flatter frequency response which compliments most voices without sounding harsh as the NT1A
Hey 👋🏻 Wanna ask you something...I have a Apollo Solo and I want to connect 2 headphones to it for tracking vocals of my artist, and there is only 1 headphone connection on the interface and I don't have monitors... Is it possible to do that please let me know.... thank you
I believe the solo only has 1 headphone amplifier on the front. You might want to try to plug the second headphones using one of the outputs on the back but it might only come through either the left or right unfortunately.
My mic is the ecm87 and is meant to sound similar to this mic if not identical. My mics dry take sounds nothing like this level of clarity someone please help me. even with an EQ this dry take examples in this video sound way clearer than mine. I think my audio interface is busted however when I press the monitoring on my scarlet audio interface I can hear my self on top of the logic monitoring and the monitoring from the audio interface sounds 100 times cleaner than when I turn the logic monitoring on. Someone please help
You can definitely apply these principles to your mic and adjust accordingly. In regards to your audio interface being busted, I don’t think it’s the case because you’re saying it sounds cleaner than the playback from Logic Pro. In which case, I would mute your vocal track in Logic Pro and just use the direct monitoring from your interface to hear yourself as you record. Also, if you feel like your mic is not sounding clear, here are a couple of things to consider: 1. Make sure you’re turning on phantom power (48v) on your Scarlett to power your mic since it’s a condenser mic. 2. Ensure your recording at a healthy gain level (-18db to -10db): meters should be lighting green and at most peaking at yellow to ensure the mic doesn’t clip. 3. Get good mic placement. Avoid recording right up against a corner or wall to avoid bass build up and reflections. Hope this helps! 😊

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support 😊
Great video.There's just one thing I didn't get is.Why did you start with compression before equiwing
@@mazethesinger thank you so much 😊 ! I didn’t. The order of plugins was deesser, subtractive EQ, compression, additive EQ
can u also make a video on pro plugins like waves or uad 😃😃❤️

Try the se X1A or an older NT1 if you can find one!
I have an XLR nt1, I have the rode duo as my audio interface. Should I EQ the mic in the physical interface or leave it raw and eq in software?
@@FactsAboutEverything-pc6gd when it comes to EQ I always add in my DAW in Post Production because if your record with EQ, you can’t undo it.

@@homestudioacademy no problem
@@priyanshuprakash290 I'm not 100% but it's worth a try. Let me know how it goes.
Easy buy a multiple headphone amplifier like the behringer ha400. Cost around 20 Bucks.
anyone have any plugin recommendations for this same process towards a Rode NT1 but using Ableton Live 11? thanks
I would just use the stock DeEsser, EQ and Compressor that comes with that specific DAW
