    I was ready to go to a professional studio after lots of failed recording attempts by my self, but after binging through this channel for weeks I can tell what I've been doing wrong and now I'm confident that I can do it right! Thank you Graham

      i took the course under Graham recordingrevolution, in less than a year I was able to produce this song in very less budget.

      in my case, i always thought filling the vocals with effects is better. but... it ended up puffing my ear drums by trying to sound better because no matter what i do it sounded dry... 😂 but after some time, i finally got it somehow but still needs improvement. 😂 😁

    Hey Graham, diggin the echo boy settings, gonna have grab that! You were the first person to teach me about stacking compressors on the vocal, it's one of my favorite things to do. Also, I love the Graham Cochrane podcast. You've really encouraged me to try and build my channel on Audio mixing

    Great video, thanks, Graham. Your tutorials are among the best: no fancy secret tools, but essential and important stuff straight to the point. I like your music taste and style: great song, sound, and singing!

    Thank you so much Graham for so generously sharing your wisdom, knowledge and mindset. It has really helped us become familiar with the language and principles of home recording and enabled us to translate this to our own unique setup and situation and start publishing weekly results on our channel.

    I like what you do. You show me new things to try out in my mixes & you also remind me of things that I'm not doing that I should be doing. Plus you videos are entertaining as well.

  • @ionianblue31
    @ionianblue31 4 роки тому +1

    Nice! I think stacking the compressors is an interesting idea. Something I’m going to try. I thought that it made the vocals here sound a little too crispy at first. Ut when you added the Echoboy, it made sense. The grit underneath it fits this song nicely.

  • @onedirectionlover317
    @onedirectionlover317 4 роки тому +1

    I'd love to see more videos by you on acoustic vocals! I like your explanations, but I lean towards acoustic vocals and would find it illustrative to see an example with a vocal for an acoustic mix (especially with piano)!

    Great Stuff :)
    Wondering if you can do (or have done) a video about what "bad vocals" sounds like?
    What should i listen to when recording an artist to make sure that im getting a "good vocal" track? (aside from room treatment ofcourse)
    I think i have a good general sense for the major EQ areas and their affect, but aside from telling the difference between a mic that is situated above the singer's head from a mic that is staring at their belly, i dont really know what to listen to XD
    Thanks!

    But once you do the "cuts" on the EQ vocal you lose that thicker sound (sounds tinny) - so then how do you restore the vocal to sound more beefy and thick? Add a 2nd EQ ?

  • @RaddDronzy
    @RaddDronzy 4 роки тому +1

    Remember not to do any additive eq before a compressor otherwise the compressor will just compress the additive eq again. So always cut before a compressor and boost after a compressor.

    Hey @Graham! When you say you record the raw vocal track using a mic & pre-amp straight in to PT, - do you mean the pre-amp built into you interface(?) Or do you use an external or additional tube pre-amp or something like that in the chain?

  • @alansommer
    @alansommer 3 роки тому

    I hate compressors. They kill the dynamics. Its something invited by radio stations to always have the music loud. But music doesn't have to be always loud. Music has dynamics. Vocals without those dynamics sound unnatural. But I like the channel anyway, cause it gives some great tips, even if you wanna use those comercial compressors concept.
