Always wondered why it sounded so much better when I had waves tune on individual rather than bussed. Thank you for that tip. Great video as usual! Glad you’re back!
MASTERCLASS as always, Sean!!! 🎉 Definitely learned a lot from you over the last 7ish years… Feels good to understand the moves you make compared to when I was younger 😂 I’m even vibin to the track with ya hahaha peace, brother! PS: FIRE TRACK!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Sean, been a while but im back on your channel to get back to mixing. Can you do a new/updated video of mixing a beat please? Much love as always brother
Great content man! Can you do a video on how to snap your vocals on beat? Like if you rap off beat how to make the vocals be on beat? Not sure if that’s possible.
Yo I’m so glad studio rack let’s you use vst3 now that’s so dope my uad native plug-ins were messing up in pro tools but they work just fine in studio rack so win win win
Sean , on the Bus Compression in this tutorial , you use the SSL. Just wondering if you have heard of the BUSTER SE by Analog Obsession. It’s a free Bus Comp. I’m not able to get the SSL one at the moment , but it seems that Analog Obsessions comp has similar parameters to the SSL. Just wondering if you have ever messed with it a little. Thanks amigo. Stay up brother ! I jam you here in Austin Tx always bro ! “Come Alive!” 😎
Have not tried that. They have big sales on the SSL Bus Comp especially towards Thanksgiving... I'd keep an eye out for that one (it's the best ssl comp plugin I've tried) 🙌
I’m very new to recording rap vocals. I record about -12 db, I cut out 70 and under do a bit more EQ stuff, use a de-esser, compression, sometimes Valhalla on a send, sometimes double vocals and pan the ad-libs, but have no clue about mastering. What even is it? Do I use a limiter? Should I use saturation?
I tracked with the vocal chain in this video, nothing else. There was also some light hardware compression on the way in. I generally keep mic input levels around -25 lufs integrated (-18 peak).
3 questions: One, is there any other plugin I could use that isn't the Waves MutltiMaximizer, but has similar features? I use Logic, any stock plugins that are similar? I also have Slate Digital, Antares, and Softube...I'll buy Waves soon enough lol Second, is this song considered mastered to you? It sounded mastered to me, but would you consider that just a mix? Would you bounce that out for a separate mastering session? Third, when mixing/mastering a 2-track beat, SHOULD ONE NEVER USE A LIMITER on the stereo output for a 2-track production, at least not a pure one, or one that can't do individual band frequencies? Is that MultiMaximizer not a limiter? What is that plugin exactly? Just wanna be clear here...thanks for the video!
You could try the Multipressor in Logic. It's just a multiband compressor (not a limiter). I would suggest keeping ratios / attenuation very low to keep the effect from wrecking your dynamics. You can definitely use a standard limiter. It's just generally not going to be as transparent in the low end or have as much control as we have in this case.
Instead of using a multiband maximizer would a multiband compressor work just as well? or a multiband limiter? I'm not sure what priority does in waves multimaximizer. Does it set the attack or threshold? Also I don't understand how you're raising the volume of the total mix without using a limiter, does the waves multimaximizer raise the total volume of the mix, cause you have to turn down the volume of the 2 track mix and vocals
Ultimately, depends on the maximizer (some are more transparent than others). Generally speaking, yes, if the gain reduction is minimal should be fine.
HI! Can you hear a slight hiss from the tweeter of A8H? I do hear it from 5 or even 7 feet slightly with mine, it"s like a white noise, and level of hiss arises with rising volume control at the back, and drops with lower volume. Nothing connected to speaker. Could you be so kind to check, does your pair hisses to?
No. I can hear a very, very faint white noise but only if I put my ear right up to it. Sounds like yours could be defective or something hooked up is causing it.
@@SeanDivine Hey, I appreciate your answer. Mine do hiss audibly form over 3 meters, it is not very loud, I quess some people with diffrent hearing, might not notice it. Anyway for me it is distracting, so I arranged exchange for new pair with adam audio. I hope the will not hiss. All best.
This is intended just for creating a commercial level mix (playing in the car, sharing with friends, etc). If you’re sending to an outside mastering engineer, take off the plugins on the stereo bus and turn down the master output to provide some headroom.
ughhh ik im being so annoying right neow but i dont understand the limiter thingy u use for the 2 beat sound track or how ever its called like how do u know what to do with it and when do u stopp
If the beat is already at commercial loudness, set the ceiling to -1 and leave the threshold alone. If you need to bring the overall level up with your vocals, pull down the threshold lightly as needed and keep the gain reduction to a minimum!
Fire bro 🔥 I was mixing a cinematic intro song for an artist recently & dude it was a night mare. I really think those type tracks aren't created to coexist with vocals lol
What a amazing job brother.. you are you a Christian artist.. I've been making music for the KINGDOM but I just do it for his Glory .. I don't make money from it.. but I hope to.use some of your skills
So glad to see you back on here, I love your positive uplifting vibe! Let’s mix som’ beats!
Good to have you back Sean!
Glad to see you back!!

Glad to see u back Sean, its been awhile.
It’s crazy you’re still doing 2-track tutorials as someone who still struggles to mix in general let alone with a 2-track this is dope.
Just keep practicing!!!! U may be improving & not even realizing it
That’s the thing about mixing you don’t really notice it when you get good. You just get good. Keep practicing You’ll get there !🔥🔥🔥
@@DreErdnafrfr what you said is key, just keep practicing
Glad you're doing better. Thanks for the tutorials as always
Welcome back Sean So glad you are doing better. Thanks for sharing the updated video

PS: FIRE TRACK!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
What do you usually have the beat hit at dB wise before recording on to it ? and where should the vocals be hitting at ?
SEANNN I WAS WAITING FORR A NEW TUT AYEE LESS GO WHITE BOY
This neega ain't white
Welcome back brother🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bounce the stems. It’s a lot of stem separating plugins available now
Which one do you use?
Need a in depth vid on how "ways to live" was mixed and mastered
YES!!!
This is fire bro
Thanks bro
Bro, you must be grammy winning engineer!!! 🚀🔥

@@SeanDivine 💯🤘🤘
divine inspiration

You brought this to life, What Lufs are you hitting tho ?
Generally speaking, -9 or so.
@@SeanDivine how can I find this song I wanna hear it in the car. Also you don’t use clip gain just the fader ?
It’s not released… yet. I use clip gain when needed (pre-processing and gain staging) but not in the actual mixing process. Gotta use those faders 😁
@@SeanDivine but faders are post . Everybody do this shit so different bro 🤦🏿😭
@@jermainewells764 they do for sure, it's no rules. whatever sounds good to you 💯
Shout out Sean Divine 4 spitting the game
can you do it with only stock plugins
Thank you

What mic did you use for tracking on this track and did you print with anything on vocals? Thanks
Elated to see you. Sean Divine. My Brethren. remain blessed
Sean, what plug-ins did you use while recording your vocals, and what levels did you have them set to... thanks. God bless you
I tracked with the vocal chain in this video, nothing else. There was also some light hardware compression on the way in. I generally keep mic input levels around -25 lufs integrated (-18 peak).
what does maximizing to a true peak negative point one mean?
~ can this plugins or presets compatible to the ADOBE AUDITION CC ? sorry i don't familiarity with the this DAW.. :(

THRESHOLD
Sean what about if you use a traditional maximizer on stereo out but not as aggresive with the gain reduction? Will this way work?
Ultimately, depends on the maximizer (some are more transparent than others). Generally speaking, yes, if the gain reduction is minimal should be fine.
Hey ça faisait longtemps
Good to be back! 🙏
No cap... Get It?
manley f tyme see you used this one
In master tack true peak and limiter dont need?

@@SeanDivine ohh but u can basically use this as ur own mastered if u wanted to?
Yooo wassup my name is Dee anyway I can pay for you to master my music ?

So before you master you take the limiter off?
Yes
Hey Sean, what DAW are you using?
Logic Pro
Waves vs slate vs UAD vs NI
ughhh ik im being so annoying right neow but i dont understand the limiter thingy u use for the 2 beat sound track or how ever its called like how do u know what to do with it and when do u stopp

I couldn't find it think it was just said and not real just away to get sales no disrespect 😢
I don't know why people always shit on two tracks
how much u push limiter on vocal chain?😁
Beat fi
Can you make a mastering on a 2 track beat now 😭

THE TUTORIAL IS FIRE BUT THE SONG IS TRASH
smh come on man

You probably listen to Dababy… Music is relative based on the listener. If it isn’t your style it doesn’t mean its trash. I thought it was fire.
