You can see the emotion on David's face every time he hears Bella's vocals in this video :)
She’s awesome!
2:04 i've never seen you so proud hahaha. Good on you
your laugh at 2:07, you know you nailed it!
Always practical. I've always loved that you just get down to detail. I think and work the same way. This is a great technique, and as luck would have it, I'm having a similar need with a vocal I'm working on right now.
Great tip on the breaths automation! Never thought about it. Agree with the other comment, she sounds amazing and the songs too, you two are killing it!
Congratulations man, nice channel!
Bella storia!!
On vocals I also often automate my sends to delay & reverbs, to reduce or mute S, T, eHHH endings and stuff like that. Those often make a reverbtail ugly or a delay too present. With automation on your sends you can choose what vowel feeds the effects and what not.
I think I have been in that faulty line you mention in 12:00 for far too long. Thanks man, great info and a clear explanation of why you are doing it.
Dude! Why you did not appear on youtube since 2 years I start mastering. You are the best BTW
Sure he is ,man !
Small things like this make a big difference, thank you for your work!
cool. i like that part about removing the resonance as an added benefit. I could definitely use that!
Thanks useful,though a year passed,much love from East Africa Tanzania🇹🇿
You got me with that thumbnail! :)
My artist Bella? Yeah she gets everyone 👍
@@mixbustv ))True
Dude. The video on the recording setup? I am hyped to see how complicated it is because the vocal is a blast. You might have changed my expectations 180 degrees in music again 😂🧚🏻♂️
Okay.... You won. 😄 I really need to give those new RX plugins a look
lots of great info thanks David!
This seems to be the kind of trend in vocals we're seeing with Billie Eilish. Very, very quiet and intimate vocals that become difficult to capture. Interesting to see the different approaches to this and its challenges.
Thank you for all this great info, loving your channel!
I have to say, I have had a de click plugin for years, and I can't believe this use case escaped me. I always used it on drum tracks when a drummer hit the rim on accident. Thanks for sharing!
Love you man, thanks for the info.
Hey David, I dunno if somebody already mentioned it in the comments (TLDR) but if she eats an apple before recording that will probably get rid of most of the mouth noises at the source and you won't have to edit as much. I remember a big music producer mentioning this trick but i can't remember who he was... Great and helpful video as always :)
Thank David!
Geez, I guess she don't really realize the work you do for this! Some of this Ozone bundle works quite well, but what I found that sometimes for vocals it removes also the good frequencies, so got to be very careful with them, also Accusonus ERA bundle does this job and I think better for some reason, they are more subtle, even more efficient with less artefacts!
Keep it up with great work David..!
I was taught a while back by an engineer that you can have the vocalist eat a few apple slices before recording - something about the enzymes in the apples that cuts a lot of the "mouth stickiness" that makes that click sound. Water/tea, etc. don't seem to be as effective. Make sure they're not allergic to apples first though 😬
Lol
Awesome. Just finishing your mixing Hip Hop course on Pro Mix Academy (and sounding amazing!) Next job is a vocal recording for a mox with those nasty mouth smacks and clicks. I've used RX7 a little but this workflow is perfect for me right now. Thanks David! Matt
Great Video. Song and Bella sound amazing! look forward too hearing and (not gonna lie) seeing more! ya'll are killing it.
so... I'm mostly setup for recording at this point, not mixing so much, but i wanted to record a track of my ten year old daughter singing her favorite song, Lost Boys by Ruth B. for her birthday. And she sings insanely soft and quiet! i don't have izotope rx yet, and tried to automate all the breaths (worked great), sibilance (worked okay), and all the smacks, clicks, and plosives from her lips smacks. that last part not only drove me insane with editing time and effort, but also didn't really work that well. all kinds of pumping in her vocals. it was just way too much automation, too often. Izotope Rx was already on my must have plugin list for professional mixes, but HOLY CRAP... it just got moved to the absolute tippity top of my mix plugin list. I do like automating breaths though, it's really nice to have fine control with a beautiful soft singer's breaths. all Nora Jones and shit.
RX7 is Beast. Pre process vocal then send them into mixing.
Nice song! Could you do a video on this type of vocalist that sits right on the mic and the EQ process as we know there will be a lot of cutting. Thanks
@@mixbustv yeah proximity cutting would be great to see. It would help a lot of hobby mixing engineers understand mic proximity and thinning vocals to sit in the mix right. thanks for the reply
David, this will be a great song for a mix competition! What do ya think buddy?
@@mixbustv Very good! :)
Cool video. I swear-by RX7 for post-tracking vocal processing. I've gone deep to remove plosives and lispy sounds that some-of its features don't articulate control-of directly. I found myself looking at each spoken word like it was a form-of digital calligraphy. Lol.
I had a question on your bit towards the end on editing breaths. As you played the examples, I could still hear some in the track. Was there a judgement call made on your behalf or hers to keep certain breaths still audible for performance capture? Follow-up question: Ever track/edit vocals like that with all breaths taken completely out of the mix? Good/bad? Thanks.
Can you also do a tutorial on the opposite style of vocals? (Heavy growly loud metal vocals)
The noise and low mid resonances in the vocals, are they in the recording because of not having good acoustics in the vocal room ? or is it because they were recorded very low ? 2ndly is there a specific reason for automating the breaths , why not use waves debreathe for that ?
@@mixbustv oh got it thanks ✌️
I imagine in edition to resonance a lot of the low end build up is due to the proximity effect of being so close to capture such quite vocals.
Nice ! How are made the backings ? A doubler, or she sang an octave down ? It would be great if you could describe even shortly how the whole thing is build up (the vocals). Thanks
I engineer all her vocals, she sang every part, every double, then I used them and treated them differently in different sections. I won't break this one down for a while tho', and it'll be for members only.
You should buy an SE Dynamite for your SM7B when recording away from the studio and your preamp hiss will be a thing of the past! They are better than Cloudlifters or Fetheads even.
Noooo! Don't do it! Get a Cloudlifter. Since the Dynamite is not direct coupled like the Cloudlifter, it will add noise and color to your signal with its cheap transformer.
@@musicmarcom8973 I think that's a bit short sighted..SE have a good reputation and as the owner of a Cloudlifter, Fethead and a Dynamite I'd say the Dynamite is the best of the 3. Slightly more gain even than the other two, dead quiet and no detectable adjustment to the tone. Numerous reviews and tests done on it would back me up there by the way. Not saying Cloudlifters are bad but they are a touch overpriced and the Dynamite is easily as good.
@@clintonmaher6930 I've used them both as well and while the Dynamite was a touch louder, to my ears it added color. That makes sense since it is not direct coupled. Color sounds good on some things, but usually you want to hear more of your mic and not color from the booster. If anything, you want the color from a great mic or high-end preamp. On pricing, there is a reason Cloudlifter "alternatives" are cheaper, they are made in China using cheap components. The Dynamite is round and plastic, so you either connect it to the end of your mic (ugly) or put in on the floor and risk stepping on it and breaking it. The Cloudlifter is all metal, made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.
David, my man...you using your MSI laptop to track Belle on location? It looks like you're not suffering from DPC latency issues. Which model are you using? Buffer settings? Any issues with latency? Are you recording over a 2 track so as not to tax your machine? Really appreciate your help and wisdom my friend. Been on the hunt for a low-DPC latency PC for EVER! :)
@@mixbustv David, thank you so much dude. Just the info I needed. I'll need to check the MSI range. Dell, Lenovo, and Gigabyte all seem to have considerable issues with latency. Thanks again!!
The RX suite is kinda a must have for me. Did you had struggles with bella recording in a untreated room? If yes how did you fix that?
I tried using the RX suite but it always makes the vocals too dark.
I always had to fight against my room if an artist doesn't have a opportunity to record somewhere else. Thanks! 😊
Sounds gr8!!
One question: is bella a good dancer?
😎 perfect!😎
i would nudge some of her words further in time, seems like some words jump the gun a little. but yeah reminds me of aaliyah.
1:05 silky-smooth vox. Tegeler Creme on this?
No I haven't had that in a long time, and an SSL type comp on vocals wouldn't really be a first choice. I have a whole chain for her from recording to mixing but it won't get disclosed
thanks a lot
Interesting stuff. A little thing I noticed in the music: In minute 1´08 "...in my eyes" it sounds for me like the harmony vocals last two notes are wrong (major instead of minor). But maybe that was intended? Anyway great video!
What was Bellas vocal Chain?
Awesome music awesome advice 🙏
who is the vocalist ?
Who is the artist in this song ??
I can't find the music video can u provide link
What music video?
🔥
I need to lay down and look sexy while tracking vocals. That's what I'm missing 🤔
Believe me, she can wear a plastic bag and stand on one leg and still sounds amazing, but hey, try you never know, weirdest things happened. Take a picture and share tho' :D
That was a trick ! Hot bella pic then there's you! Tricky devil
Haha, u can isolate and use her clicks as a fx 😃 like drops or something...
Thx for the vid
Anche la saliva?
Nice
industry plants with sleepy vocals beware!
Hi David, good info, nice voice. As an alternative for mouth de-clicking I higly recommend "Spiff" by oeksound. I have the feeling it will give you even better results. It has more control options than the izotope plugin . . .and it's also possible to add body to a voice if wanted. To tame the resonant frequencies in the mids "Soothe" works very well [also for the esssses], you probably know that plugin already , same company
I call that stuff casserole :) hahah
If you need more sings for Bella leg me know ok. Would like ro make something and give it a try...
Make them and send them to him.
All right, got it MAAT 👍
