Bro someone is gonna get confused and false hope thinking you mean to talk to them instead of me
Lol just playing
🤝🏾💯
The proper way to record music vocals for amateurs and pros is to have an absorbing baffle or blanket hanging directly behind the singer. What's in front of the singer or on the sides doesn't matter. The reason for that is the live side of the microphone is facing the singer when the mic is set to a cardioid pattern. You want to stop the sound bouncing off the wall behind the singer and returning into the live side of the mic. The mic is dead on the front and already rejecting room noise. What's going on behind the singer is what makes the nasty room noise. It's preferable to have a big live open room in front of the singer so it doesn't sound so dead and stuffy. The slight bleed of the cardioid pattern on the sides of the mic give the vocals some space unlike the dead closet sound. No charge for today's audio lesson. Most professional audio engineers don't know either. The totally dead vocal sound works better for talking voice-over artist.
@R3xred i mean, id do everything wav man said and have a decent blanket behind too
Guys everything this man said is factually correct. this fr makes a difference when having a blanket/thick sound absorbing material right behind you 💯
What about just having a mic filter that covers the whole microphone
Yoo super dope info! My sincerest thank you for taking the time to post it. If you see this and have the time, I have a quick question-- would quadratic diffusors behind the singer potentially sound good or do you def want absorption? Cheers!! - Punchi
Thank you!I was putting the blanket in front instead of behind me
without this youtube channel, i wouldn’t have record over 40 high quality songs. been watching since the old vocal tutorials, keep it going man 🤟🏽💯
I downloaded the fruity loop how do I start recording
i got the same question @@HolagTV

@@TheWavMan hi
incredible video! this sh worth money!
thank you man 🙏🏽, that's a lot to take in but what a great guide. i love the part about projecting the voice, which is what i do when i sing to myself, so i'll definitely use the technique described when recording vocals or rapping
honestly man, thank you 💪🏽🥹
this is sick! 🔊
Thanks for the advice man, I’m making music myself and this really helps!
I already know all these but still enjoy this vid. This will help lots of people out there. Appreciate u man
ive usuallly found it hard to understand these types of videos but you have explained these perfectly thank you so much!!!!! ive subbed
This is a whole class. Thank you for this information.
this video was so incredibly helpful and inspiring to me as an artist trying to record my EP out of my college dorm, i literally took notes while watching this and am going to put them up on my wall LOLLLL. thank you so much for taking the time to make this video it's going to help me and so many other artists so so much !!! I HOPE YOU WILL HEAR MY MUSIC ONE DAY
Thanks for the tips man, it's been years since I recorded my voice and so I needed some brush up tips, I had to practice a lot to increase the punch in my voice cause all my singing muscles got all weak, it really is a muscle you gotta work out 💪 I have goldfish memory so I always got my lyrics in front of me but ive learned to hold it correctly
this really helps a lot, thankyou wavman😭🤘❤️
Super guidance. Thanks for sharing
Loved it! I really need this information. Thank you so much!
I greatly appreciate the inspiration you have for music and you should be a music coach because you know every single little detail about making a song I have been trying for years to just get a computer I finally got one but I don't have enough money for a microphone and I don't have beat making thing for the computer where I can make beats I know how to make beats I've done it in the past on fruity loops a long time ago but it's changed so much that I haven't been able to spend the time to go along with the change so now I'm behind but watching your videos gives me confidence that I can learn it again and make some good music my last computer that I made music on crash and I wasn't able to get anything off the computer and it really took a toll on me and that was over 10 years ago and I haven't made music since so I'm really behind but watching your videos like I said gives me the confidence to know that I am able to get back on making music so thank you for making this video. i appreciate it!!
I just released my debut song and realized that my vocals were not edited properly for it. This is why I'm here, done paying for the work I can do better myself. Thank you for the informative video.
loved this video so much, thank you
.WAVman, you are my new favorite! Glad I found you. Thanks for the vibes.
Bro I know nothing about how to record a song when it come down to what I have to do on the computer, but I after watching your video it gives me the confidence to try it, they way you explained everything was perfect and everything made sense, like it’s straight to the point and you kept it nice and simple.

Great teacher ....loved and appreciate it ....
By far the best tutorial out there!! Man i would love to hear this track you laid down in completion!!
Love the simplicity, clarity & professionalism of the video. A lot of tutorials on YT use language assuming we have enough knowledge & experience to know what they’re talking about. Honestly, I’m typically still lost. This one’s on point. Considering that template. Thank you!
@exacierme I’m stuck on the templates. What does he mean with the templates what’s the process?
@@ReidDaKid That part was (& still is) the difficult part to grasp. If I understand it correctly, he means recording with the plugins/effects you intend to use, so that as your recording the song already sounds closer to the finished sound. This will also help fuel the artists and create or keep them in a Zone. Also, depending on whether you’re mixing it yourself or sending to someone, many engineers benefit from a wet mix (wet = with effects/more finished sound). I’m not sure if I’m explaining what you were asking, but if you’re asking what a template is; it’s a blue print or a pre-setup session within your DAW that will have all the pluggins and settings you typically use or need for a new session. Depending on your DAW you should have the ability to create your own template. This option is usually found within the “File” menu of the program. Alternatively, you can also purchase a template to use, like the ones he provides. If you consider buying a template, make sure you read the details to confirm you have everything required. For instance, there may be a template that has autotune settings in it, but you must have your own licensed copy of Autotune. Also, (if purchasing template) make sure you have the correct version of the software. For example, I once purchased a template that was meant for the highest tier version of my DAW and it didn’t work, I must’ve missed that in the description. My bad for long response, I wasn’t fully sure which part you were asking about so I responded to everything I thought you might ask. Feel free to ask more questions. I still consider myself new to music, but I’m glad to help when/how I can. ✌🏼
Please do a vocal harmonies tutorial Brother, great vid as always
Thank you so much for this video. Amazing !
Great advice! Thank you. 🙏
That little singing session you did was pretty good. Reminds me of a pop punk mixed with Juice World type vibe. I liked it. 🤙🏻
Which song is it
That was very helpful thank you so much PS I like the second version too 👍
Loved this man. You have awesome energy. cheers from Chicago.
Thank you so much for this!
The biggest thing I took from this is take your time I think everyone gets so lost into doing 10 songs a day
I’ve been watching your videos man, you got some great tips to recording. I’m glad I passed by your page, I’m trying to up my music because it feels like somethings missing. I’m tired of recording with dry vocals and I want to hear what I want it to sound like. I just got auto tune and my DAW is FL Studio, I’m trying to hear myself with effects but I can only hear myself with overlapping vocals when I route my mic bus to my effects bus. I was hoping you could help me out with this dilemma. I want to be able to hear one voice with my effects not all the other voices that are overlapping for some reason.
Very informative! Thanks A Bunch!
Love this man
You are just amazing literally amazing .....i have searched a lot for many coaches but u have a different vive😊😊...this is my first video of ur channel and I loved it a lot❤️❤️
Thank u Man U motivated me again!!🔥
That’s I want to do 💡
@@TheWavMan which of ur templates for rnb drill?
Bro you deserve all the success coming your way. Super talented and informative. Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for the information much needed
Thanks man i found out the skill i needed to master i always wondered why for some reason i am better when i am feeling the vibe without recording than when i actually record, it's the reading skill that prevents the emotion from going to the microphone.
I feel you!
"any mic works for me" - proceeds to show us a 10.000 dollar Sony C-800G 😂 Love the video man! great stuff.
I was thinking the samething lol
Swear I was just looking in the comments to see if anyone else noticed this lol..
I asked before I scrolled down lol
lol
I guess judging by the comments that most of them are newbies, so they can’t tell the difference. IMO it would have been better to be honest and put this mic as well in the bio. But hey, that’s just my 2 cents.
You’re a great teacher. Very articulate and concise. Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work man 👍
Thank you for this!
I love your voice man, such a good, emotive singer, with a unique, rock-like vocal tone. God bless you in Jesus name. This is a great video for beginners! Especially when it comes to telling people about pop filter distance from mic and singing emotively into the mic! Will be checking out more of your vocal editing videos! subscribeddd ❤🔥
You are very knowledgeable when it comes to engineering, no doubt. The one thing I do different tho is "templates." I am a true believer in a very good raw take before I add anything to it. Artists that I record (including myself) I encourage them to per-fect & accept their raw vocal before I mix it. Not only does that help create their studio voice (which takes time to develop & control), it'll help during live performances. Recording into a mic while hearing yourself with templates does encourage, no doubt, but it heavily affects the control and development of their natural voice. Like stated, that will in-turn affect live performances. Michael Jackson was big on this; he'd redo a take over and over and over until that "raw" vocal was perfect. I'm sure we all heard MJ in the studio, raw. It's fucking perfect. Templates (auto-tune & EQ) will ruin this. No hate, my brotha, just an opinion I feel you should read.
What do you recommend me to search up for more about this topic!?
optimal recording lvl - 16 to - 6 db? Wait recording level with or without vocal preset, cause I record without presets (but the artist can hear him self with the preset) so does the raw record bus must be in the range of
- 16 to - 6 db or even with plug ins? Cause not everyone record with preset some people like me just sidechain a preset so the artist can hear his voice with preset but the vocals record raw so I still can change everything after if I want to...
Yea you never been in a real studio, almost no artist wants to or feels comfortable recording raw into the mic, they want slight eq,compression,reverb, autotune, at the very least
@@cmili4039 that’s because these artist nowadays are want to sound like everybody and not themselves. I’m 6 years in the game and record raw
No doubt u got to sound original if a raw lead can sound 💯 without compression, EQS or Auto tune then bruhhh and you'd never be afraid of the stage too that's why you're a musician ain't it
Awesome video man, thanks
Hell yea!!! Great tutorial!!
This is hands down THE most clear & complete tutorial of how to record vocals that we have EVER seen.
I knew most of the techniques you've explained, however I was drawn into the video and liked the way you've explained. What stood out to me is the emotions part that I'm struggling with right now because I'm recording a song that I really like but I can't get myself to sound like I want to BUT after your video I think I'm gonna nail it.
One last thing helps me a lot every time I record is vocal warm ups...IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO ME, Thanks for the video man, you deserve a Like and a subscribe, all the best. Peace.
Gran tutorial, gracias por estos tips que hacen la diferencia
