Ryan I would like to make guided audio meditation and Im going through all of your videos> doing my best but no easy :( I would like to make a regular guided meditation you can find on this meditation app such as Insight Timer. Would you help me?
you should do a link to the Mic u show so that you get little profit when someone click and buy i would have clicked right now xd
I hear yeah! I’ll keep thinking about doing affiliate links.
Ryan, will you be adding Fairlight to your list of supported DAWs?
Yeah I can! Haven’t had too many request for it but I can work on it :)
thanks so much for this, has made my channel sound so much better
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it has helped 👌🏻
This was bad ass, easy to follow for us non-pro audio dudes. I am a visual designer for over 35 years, and the way you walked through this worked for me. Thank you
Showing that curve! Thanks bruv! This is great. People rarely actually show this so it’s always nice to experiment with a new curve
No problem! That EQ curve works magic
It kinda blows my mind that I have settled on a similar EQ setup in my mixes, as an amateur. Given me some good confidence here! Thank you, love this!
waw me too :)
Just wanted to say thanks for explaining this so clearly. I was going way overboard with my FX chains, so I trimmed it right back and started again using your video as a guide and I think largely the end result was much the same, but it sounds much cleaner now, really appreciate it!
Awesome! Glad to help.
Fantastic! Thanks so much for showing your process. VERY helpful.
Wow 😮 just found this channel and it’s already a gold mine 👌🏽 thanks so much man. Most of my questions were answered in the video/comment section. You earned a subscriber and can’t wait to see what you come out with next
Thank you! I try to reply to every comment so we can all learn from each other's problems / asks. More videos soon...
I've been producing a podcast for this sports/music/politics blog that I started with my friends and have been dying to find engineering guidance this concise and clear. From one producer to another, thank you for being such a huge help. This is a criminally underrated channel.
Happy to help! :)
This is so well explained. Also, congrats on the award! I'm in SW Ontario too and I run a podcast as well, so I always love seeing another Canuck achieving out there!!
For sure! Thank you 🙏🏻
Love the simplicity and how clean it is. Congrats on your award.
This is such a great resource! Thank you for showing the EQ and explaining every step!
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much.
This is amazing. Thank you!
Thank you, learned a lot from this, very clear explanation.
Ryan, this was a very nice overview, your work is great too! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it helped. Thank you!
great video, that eq was exactly what ive been looking for!
Thanks! Glad it works for ya 👌🏻
Man, this was so helpful. Thank you for easily breaking it down in a digestible way. Thank you.
Glad it helped 👊🏻
Thank-you for the great video. Getting ready to record my first podcast and needed some input on editing the vocals.Thanks again. :)
Dude, this video is amazing. Thank you so much for making it, answered so many questions for me!
No problem! Thank you for watching :)
very nice tutorial. Big thanks!
Thank you so much! I just got a condenser mic, and for some reason sometimes my voice sounded unintelligible. I had tried every eq configuration I could, and nothing worked, until I used your tips. Now it sounds awesome. Thank you man!
Awesome to hear! You’re very welcome 😊
Thank you for this video! It was a great guide and reference for me to establish my own process, and that EQ secret sauce was especially helpful and worked absolute wonders on the male vocal I was working with.
Amazing Ryan!!
Great walkthrough. Such a classic CBC/NPR vocal mix, really like it.
Thanks Ryan!
Awesome video, I was able to get a great EQ for my voice. Getting ready to launch a podcast. Can't tell you how much this helped!
Awesome, Joe! Best of luck with you new podcast :)
My man, you Sir are doing God's work! Thank you for sharing this. Had no clue how to EQ my audio, now I know exactly what adjusting each frequency range actually means and what effect that has on the audio.
Thanks man. Glad that EQ works for you 😊
Love the video! I'm planning on creating a podcast and this definitely helped!
Amazing! Best of luck with the podcast 😊
Super helpful info! I will definitely be implementing things I learned from this.
Awesome! Glad you’re able to use some of my process
Thank you for your insight, I will use your approach..GOD BLESS.
Thanks, Eric!
This is awesome, thanks for the pointers!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it.
You sir, are a wizard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It's refreshing to watch someone who is skilled pull back the curtain. Excellent instruction. You definitely deserve that WEBBY! Keep it up.
haha Thanks Sam!
Such a great video, thanks for the tips.
Thanks! Glad to help
This was really helpful, thanks so much!
You’re welcome 🙌🏻
This is an amazing tutorial...I'm just starting out and was wondering about vocals and sound. You explained it in a way that makes sense and wasn't overwhelming. I've added it to my private podcast tutorial playlist. Thank you for doing this video, Ryan.
I appreciate it! Best of luck with your podcast endeavour
@@itsryanfreeman Thank you! Happy New Year and I look forward to more of your tutorials!
Thanks so much Ryan... super helpful for VO talent on this side of the mic (the talking end) to understand how to do this.
Awesome! You're very welcome :)
This helps a lot. Thank you so much for sharing useful tips and information! I'll boost my podcast production today LOL.
Woo! Go get it :)
Thank you Ryan it was very useful
Thank you so much for the video!
What a great video. Started doing more voice work on my youtube channel and will use this in my future videos now I have a decent mic. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing your work.
I LOVED your EQ settings. Thank you!
No worries! Glad it sounds great for you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on EQ, I found these tips particularly helpful of all the video's I watched. Keep up the great work (y)
Thanks for the feedback, Max!
Ryan. This is top notch. You've eliminated so much of the mysticism of audio production. Subscribed!!!
Glad to hear you found it more approachable!
This was super helpful. Thank you for sharing!
No problem! Glad you found it helpful :)
Oh my gooood huge difference. Cheers Ryan and thank you for the tutorial. My next venture is to snag an RE-20, but this does so much for my current microphone.
haha! Glad it helped. The RE20 is great, but with my processing, it will make pretty much any setup sound much better :)
Thank you for teaching me how to use the limiter!! you rock!
This would sound amazing with my Rode NT. Thank you !
I also use an LA-2A and a very similar EQ curve for my podcast. I also enjoy a bit of tape saturation for the heck of it too.
Great video. 👌🏻👌🏻
One of the best videos ever for podcast mixing. Thank you.
Eh, thanks! I've been thinking about making a new updated version of this tutorial...
this is so helpful. thank you so much, Ryan!
No problem! 😊
Thank you for this! You’re amazing!! :D
Literally everything I needed to see! Thanks for sharing!
Loved the video man! I'm in the East end of Toronto super close!
Thanks! trying to figure out how to get the best voice quality possible for our podcast. there's a lot to learn and this was helpful
No problem. Good luck with your podcast!
Congratulations on your award-winning podcast.
Helpful and precise,thank you
I hate it when tutorials drag on... Glad it helped.
Thanks for the much needed help. Finally an explanation specifically for podcast vocals.
No worries! #MakePodcastAudioGreatAgain
Excellent video, thanks for the info.
No problem! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Great stuff! Thanks!
Thank you!
I realized while watching that what I love in a voice with a lot of body is a combination of that 100ish hz boost, and how that cut at about 250 hz separates the rest of the vocal from the chesty part. Going to be applying this in my voice over, might get that mic too! Thanks man.
Yep, that's the secret. Cutting out that mid really opens it up and sounds great. I try not to be too shy when cutting out the mids. Some mics really need it more than others...
Nicely done mate!
Thanks a lot!
One of the best yet on setting up audio for your podcast. This has been a huge help especially during my initial set up of my own podcast. judos my friend and thanks again.....Manny
Thanks Manny! Appreciate the comment 🙌🏻
Best video I've seen for the information and the way it's communicated. As a writer of scripted, fictional content, I have to quickly learn how to do this--my producer completely flaked out--when I used to concentrate on writing the scripts and doing some voicing. It was a tremendous gut punch when I realized my pod sounded horrible and that I would have to learn how to do what an award winning producer was doing for me. But you made this easy--using your EQ curve with a few small adjustments--and it really sounds great. Thank pal!
Awesome man. I hope everything worked out for you!
Hey - I just released my audio processing presets - I thought you might find them useful! Wanted to share: www.itsryanfreeman.com/presets

Awesome! Happy to help
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
No problem! More to come. Thanks for your time watching
Thanks for this! I have no idea what I am doing but managed to pick it up some how!
No problem. Good luck!

Thank you for this. Huge help.
Thanks!
thanks for the help. i was putting too many plugins in my mix and it was coming out digitized after bouncing out of logic. your video helped me streamline my plug in stack. domo domo.
Yeah, that can happen if you’re over processing your audio. Glad you got it sorted!
You just made me really like the sound of the Re20. I always liked the sound of the sm7b but I never heard someone sound that nice using a Re20 and the people you got on the podcast sounds great using it
gotta love the RE20!
Excellent video by the way! It's my go to
Thanks so much!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks Ryan - just what I was looking for to help with my VO Channel EQ.
Awesome! Glad it helped :)
Thank you! this 'secret sauce' really improved my meditation audio!!
Awesome! Happy to help :)
thanks, friend!
Thanks for the advice on the EQ!
You’re welcome 👌🏻
amazing video, thank you!
No problem!
I've been trying to find help on editing audio on podcasts and THIS is the video I've been looking for! Goes into the nitty gritty of editing. Thanks so much for the info, it's incredibly helpful \o/
Thank you! I’m glad I was able to help. More videos coming soon!

Yaas thank you super helpful
Good job bro and congrats on the award!
Thanks man 🙌🏻
Thanks so much. I’ve been suing auphonic to keep it simple and it’s nice and all, but this sounds better. Rocking SM7B’s. I have my gain up higher and occasionally have a peak so I’ll try lowering it a little bit and see how it goes.
Sounds good. Good luck!
Thanks for the info bro
No problem. I hope you found it useful and easy to apply to your own sound.
Thanks Bro!
No problem
You're amazing - thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
Very good stuff. You have educated me.
Cheers!
Great stuff. That's a sub right there.
Thanks!
Thanks very much for making this video. I have been blundering around with my voice setting for ages, and never been happy with them. Your approach makes great sense. Fewer effects but carefully set up. I watched your video and tried your settings. It is a big improvement for me and my next video. Of course, I used the best I could find in Logic, but I have noted the third party plugins you mentioned. Thanks again. Great stuff!
Amazing! Happy to hear that. I’m actually working on Podcast Voice presets for Logic, GarageBand & Audition. Will be available for purchase within the next few weeks!
I’ll make a video about them, so be sure to subscribe.
@@itsryanfreeman I will be delighted to hear them. Remember, and I know you will, we are all using Yetis, LOL!
haha! OK, I might make some presets being microphone specific... Especially for the Yeti
@@itsryanfreeman Yeti is so popular. I also subscribed to Invisible City. I will listen with interest from a social and sound engineering perspective on my JBL bluetooth mono speaker :-)
@@JustinTimeEnglishClip haha sounds good! Thanks again and I wish you all the best
Amazingly helpful
👊🏻
You just saved my life.
Thanks for sharing Ryan...am a Subscriber now.
Thanks so much. More to come soon!
Thank you for the video, super helpful. After recording at a lower volume/gain, what’s the right way to boost it back up?
No worries! Well, if you properly compress and limit your vocals, that should make it louder. You could also add a 'Gain' plugin of some sort at the very beginning of your channel and boost that to the desired volume. A lot of compressors have a 'Make up' or output gain knob. You could also use that. But make sure it's not clipping before hitting the limiter.
Two videos, uploads at least once a week. Checks out. Hopefully you keep it going.
A lot more content coming... Subscribe to stay updated!
Congratulations on the well-deserved award!
Thank you!
Holy fucking shit this is good. And your audio sounds virtually perfect, which is a good start.
Haha thanks some guy!
I would give you more than 1 like really... You helped a lot.
Great video
Thanks
awesome video
Thanks.
idk why you only have 283 subs you deserve more
🤷🏻♂️
Great video, and congrats on the award! I think it would be worth covering de-essing as well, but clearly you didn't need it ;)
Can’t give away all my secrets! I did mention de-essing in the video. Defiantly worth including if you need it.
Didn't need it? Jen's sibilance is ripping my ears apart when she says "bird species".
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!! Sub + like here.
Awesome! Thank you
Ryan! Thank you so much, I understood this tutorial perfectly fine and was able to implement the same curve on Audition and now my microphones sound SOOO much better. If you did an entire tutorial series on how to get solid audio, I'd watch the absolute hell out of it.
the only bit I had a bit of difficulty with was the compression. What exactly does it do?
Thanks for the feedback! Happy to have helped you. I recently started this channel, but I'll be uploaded at least once a week with audio / music production tips and filmmaking tips... So stay tuned.
I try to create content with topics that necessarily haven't been made before or of my own process / perspective. There's already a bunch of great content online about recording and mixing fundamentals. So for compression, this video should help you: ua-cam.com/video/91qs3fux5HY/v-deo.html
thanks man! I checked out his series. Definitely some really great information. Congrats on the award! I already subscribed, looking forward to more from you.
Cheers!
