can I just have hours of Jonny's raw vocals bc I could listen to them all day
I really wish they'd release the isolated vocals for this song
If you guys don't know this about Jonny he will come into a studio with the song already prepared in his head. He is constantly singing just hanging out around his house or doing his daily routine. His mind is virtually a music box that never stops. Just as another bit, he walked into the studio years ago with Dance Gavin Dance and recorded the intro to Times New Roman. One take. Without saying anything.
@Ø Most great artists were on drugs.
@Ø jonny was good even on drugs no matter what but once he got clean hes a good person and an even better singer and still hasn't lost his vocal or lyrical tallent lmao
sad boi forever Was clean. Lol. Unfortunately he just relapsed.
@@theecarking ikk it kills me
Lil Scremo He made the right choice to stay home and get better tho. The band made it seem like he'd rather go do drugs than sing.
Jonny Craig is the greatest vocalist of our generation.
exactly!!
Having been a Jonny fan for 10 years, and now being an engineer, It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something I loved so much
Jonny is the definition of talented
If only he had a talent of staying in his bands.
@@ricksterdrummer2170 true
It's amazing that he talks about Jonny in such a way and Johnny was just kicked out of slaves today this video was made not even 2 weeks ago
Because it doesn’t take away from who he is as a vocalist. That’s what’s being show cased here.
I'm surprised Slaves didn't release just an acapella version of their latest album, it's a no brainer
My favorite vocalists. You're lucky man.
I can listen to just his vocal non stop all day😭
Absolutely love the way you mix vocals!
This is amazing. I love it, love the song, these dudes rock! Thank you for sharing!
15 minutes for that masterpiece? Hes amazing vocalist!
jonny craig and the weeknd! perfect collab
this video is a blessing
Love this song so much
Looking good Eyal!
This song is a masterpiece
Well now I know why Jonny sounds so much better live
For real.
Amazing
LOL! He starts to loosen up & be himself once the music hits😂 I was waiting for it👍👍👍
I have been playing guitar for 12 years. I know all about guitar. But this. I might as well be listening / watching Japanese. I can play the song thats about it.
"He almost de-essed himself"
DEAD :')
If you are a good singer, you smooth out your consonants
Dude said "Silibance"........ Definitely pro
Very cool take
QUESTION?
Did he also do the same to the Lyrics in slower acoustic version?
Very interesting!
I Love This!
best vocalist of all time.no question.the end.
The message of this song is my favorite from Jonny Craig
Nice vocalist!
Them orange slices on the back table FTW
What plugin do you use in first slot on signal chain?
Good.
My boi Eyal got some drip
If only I had a Macbook Pro I could mix this on...
Lmao
If only you had half the voice like jonnys
This guy is on high from his beloving job)
He likes the UAD Plate so much, Good that you have 11 days left on the demo! :-) Haha
Are you selling beats?? His r&b album is fire.
I literally just want the stems to this song... I wanna buy them without having a membership mannn
Ooh that fade out at the end though
The P's and G's in his vocal performance sound like he's just breathing out of his nose instead of making that P/G sound.
Could be from the fact that these are crazy over compressed. His tiny nose breathes are the same volume as his voice cuz of this. Like when he says "keep me on the ground" he sounds like he says "hround" but the G is still there subtly.
Allways thought this
That's the only thing I don't like about his vocals. He can be extremely nasaly at times and also live he can be way off key.
It's his vocal technique. Him and I sing in the same register. He uses a unique style to form words around his vibrato its definitely home grown
He gets away with mispronouncing words because he rips lol
Can’t wait to use some JST plugins on this!
0:14 did he say date ? or day ? shit
Simp Ladies Out Here Strong. Leeettssss 👏 Gooooooooo 👏
Can anyone tell me what program he is using?
Pro tools. Its in the top left
Well yeah chances is something Jonny needs a lot of
"he almost de-essed himself" god tier diss
Jonny was Slaves.
Monica Weinle was in slaves*
@@user-yi8uq3jb6p no, I meant what I typed.
Can you watch the video without sing along with Jonny? I bet you don't.
Meat and Cheese spread adds more glue to the whole mix...
Just put a sample on it, right?
Yall are surprised at the vocal talent thats literally everywhere in pop and R&B. But you won't admit it BeCaUse ThAt IsNt ReAl MuSic.
Truth
Except it’s not lol
What if I told you your quarter note delay was an eighth and not a quarter haha
hahaha gotta love the people screaming autotune who apparently don‘t know what this dude is capable of, check out some live vids.
ive seen plenty of live slaves videos AND i saw them live earlier this year, he was underwhelming at best.
@@Laihoistheman ???????? Dogg hahaha well like any artist he has his nights where he's off but try some live videos of him with dgd or emerosa and u have to watch alot of the slaves performances to find the absolute gems
@@tyken144 fair enough, it was just the like dozen videos I saw plus seeing them live.
👀
Erik Ron?? He's got two first names.....
Real talk in a video about mixing audio why is his voice so much louder than the singer's
9:40 That wurble shouldn't be there. When he says, "never leave". Super pronounced on the word, "leave". It's like an auto tune wurble. It's present before he begins this video. You can here this at 3:09 - 3:10.
Sadly his voice isnt stronger than his addiction. How many bands kicked him out now?
Samuel Rochford at least 5
Dgd , slaves , emarosa
@@JabezGill Only 3
Can you please explain why the lead vocal sounds autotuned? I appreciate wanting passion and intimacy but taking away the humanity from performance destroys that intent. Steve Perry had this in spades and had so much power and feel ✌🏻 x
Yeah,I think autotune here is too obvious, epsecially at the end of the phrases.it sounds like a fake vibrato
It’s a classic side effect on breaths when using melodyne or auto tune.
But bear in mind almost everything you listen to these days has some of tuning.
People only call auto tune out when they hear the side effects. And in the full mix it will never be as noticeable as in solo like it is now.
FWIW I don’t like those side effects on the breaths
Antiquated opinion. Everything gets worked on.
Because it's modern pop-ish music. That's why.
I'm amazed how people are still surprised that they pitch correct vocalists in the studio when it's been an industry standard for almost 2 decades. The dude's a great singer, pitch correction or not. Tho I'd personally go for a slower, more natural retune speed.
"i like to squash vocals"
we stan.
Daily reminder that Jonny Craig did nothing wrong
Well, he did, but he apologized and tried to make things right with everyone that he could.
ive never listened to johnny outside of DGD and his solo stuff.. first time hearing him in slaves. i love johnny but ima have to pass on looking into slaves..that autotune kills it for me.. i know hes capable of not needing it.
Did you ever listen to Emarosa when he was in it? They made some amazing music when he was with them. I think my favorite of him is still DGD though, and I really like DGD now with Tilian. But you definitely should give Emarosa, his solo stuff, and Slaves a chance.
I prefer his work with emarosa, his DGD stuff comes at a close 2nd for me tho
Emarosa Relativity album is killer
Literally every band uses autotune- its called Melodyne and is mostly used to touch up a voice, not to change pitch in a drastic way
i dont think thats autotune my guy. its probably the jaw movement he has when doing vocal runs which is really the only time you hear what youre probably mistaking for autotune.
Is it just me or is this vocal wayyy too compressed. You compressed it on the way in and then 10db in pro tools? The engineer even thought the vocal sounded like it had a blanket over it. That’s because it’s squashed and has no dynamics. Reverb is for placing something in the mix not to make words in the song more audible/understandable. That’s what the an EQ boost at 2.5k is for and saturation.
boooooo
Stopped liking Johnny the moment he left DGD.
Missing out on the Emarosa Release then, and Isles and Glaciers
Doesn't Emarosa have a different singer now? Jonny isn't singing for them right?
Michael c yeah emarosa’s singer is now Bradley Walden!
@@mexichicana I haven't listened to their new stuff but I knew johnny stopped singing for them awhile ago
i dont like this guy mixes honestly
