As someone that currently raps and mix and masters his own shi instead of hitting up producers, this video really hits home. LEARN TO MIX, whether you are a producer or an artist because it goes a long way in understanding what's going on with your music
for real. i'm mixing my own ep right now even tho i have no idea lol
@@JasonTopo idk if this helps but: Gate or drum buss (remove noise), EQ to cut low/add high (if you rlly want, remove sweeping frequencies too), compression (even out.deaden sounds to fit mix), reverb (fuller sound). Everything else for me after those things is to really make stuff sound good.
I Bmi should i compress everything?
@@JasonTopo negative, it removes all range and depth from the track and makes it sound muddy
Alex Luker i’ve been putting it on drums and a few other things that imo needed to sound compressed, if that makes sense 😂
At 22:44 he starts to break down the MAIN vocal plugin chain, this is more or less a timestamp for future me, but feel free to use it.

Young kids, this man jut translated Alex's template to a logical tutorial. If you have talent, this can make you money.
As long as they know how to grind hard!
Tumay's Template was never hard to understand fym Lol!

This template was only for recording ,not the finished product
So true bruh
To me, Mixing is a HUGE part of my sound. If things aren't moving and sitting in the right way - it's not finished and isn't telling the full story. Every Producer should at least get their sound 90% there with the Mix imop.

Keep uploading the lives broski! Thanks tons!
From the bottom of my heart. I thank you for the very well clear breakdown. I still have questions but alot were filled in. Thanks Kenny you a real one. Years later will look back on this when you and Alex have your version of Pensados Place. THANKS BRO
I bought all my waves G, and thank you for sharing! taking notes on all levels
bro u are saving sooo many ppl years or trail and error...u a real one..payattention
Don't stop uploading these! I don't watch twitch streams but watching Kenny has helped me a immensely 😄
thank you so much, this video says a lot about you like a producer and like a person. Really, really thanks. This is a gift for everybody of us who are starting to produce and mix. No jealousy, no fear, only knowledge and generosity. Only for this you deserve all the respect of the world. Thanks you again, from Spain.

Couldn’t thank you enough for posting this
Thank you for recording these
Thanks dude! This is so inspiring! love ya already
The gems we truly need. Thank you Kenny
man this shit is so helpful. it's super helpful to have some guidance like this, learning a lot of super helpful
Good googly moogly, as a complete noob to processing vocals I always thought my voice was garbage and i was only destined to make beats but after smackin this bad boy on my mic its like night and day. Kenny just opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks for this post from the bottom of my heart!
Saved me so many years. Thanks man

its a blessing 🙇
As someone who really likes the whole DIY process with music this is a savior!
thank you for the re upload
This was very helpful damn!!
For anyone that doesn’t have the plugins, logics stock plugins can do the job of any of these plugins. Like the logic compressors are all emulated from comps like the LA-2A and the 1176
What a brilliant work flow, dragging to the group after tracking. Im a logic guy but I am going to build a similar set up. So inspiring
Thank u for this 🙏🏾 mine kept buffering yesterday
THE GROUP HAS THE CHAIN 💯
Good shit keeping an archive. Subbed.

what kenny says about the analog button is huge do not forget that
10:05
yomama847 thanks bro, oh yeah yeah
its not really just making noise, some plugins (like h-delays) analog button saturates the audio, but yeah, pretty useless and he's right, if you wanna saturate something do it separate
soundcloud.com/killakawhi/thehills
Yeah it's all cool until you compress it
thank you kenny🙏🏻
This Man's Explanations Are Perfect
soundcloud.com/killakawhi/thehills
I'm sure you're aware how awesome stuff like this is. Good on ya! Thanks, Officer Kenny.
kenny a legend for this one
thank god you're showing people to EQ their delay... even your reverb man that bottom low end is appropriate sometimes or that higher end sheen but sometimes cutting both sounds so much cleaner.
Kenny a goat for this 🙏
🙏🏼🐐Kenny 4 da ppl
for a doubler w Ableton stock plugins u can take a simple delay and set the time to b like 1ms and ~20ms then take a utility and set the width to 0% and also put it in a rack
thank u dad
saucy
P L E A S E H E L P I A M U N H E A L T H Y ableton removed simple delay in the new update its wack
@Z M can you elaborate? I use simple delay for haas effect often, should i not be doing that?
P L E A S E H E L P I A M U N H E A L T H Y Also Izotope has a free vocal doubler and it sounds great!
Every time I watch this video I learn more and more
Great video Kenny.
This is real gems
I need this video. Wooo
The group has the chain!
thanks mahn.
Damn, wish this was for Live 9. Very cool indeed!
evolving is a part of survival
yo kenny dropping the SAUCE sauce!
Thank you
the group has the chain
What group?
luxure ooooohh yeah the group!
where I get it?
Ace Boogy the group
Thanks for the upload!
like for real kenny beat's tag is the coolest ever
This man dropping the sauce it's so fucking gooooooood
I hate recording but he's right it's definitely worth learning cuz u will get asked
ִ smh i wish i loved it
wrong energy bro you have to go above and beyond even in the shit you may hate cuz that may be the avenue through which you can achieve success
@@holidaycomplex nah I'll happily produce help write and mix songs all day but recording is so stressful for me I avoid it unless no one around can do it. Especially if the person doesn't pre write so you gotta punch in every few lines
@@lilwombat i get it man but i feel like welcoming the challenge with open arms is a better way of thinking
ִ yeah I used to be like that until I got thrown into a session where the rapper went bar for bar punch in. You just gotta roll with the punches and learn as u go bro real spill
The Analog settings for H-Comp are actually really good and do add warmth and some cool analog distortion but other than that I would have to agree w you @10:25
Precious one here! Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Subbed! Is the template available somewhere?
sooo fye
Been using Ableton for few years always sent my files you to get mix in mastered I wanna start mixing my vocals and recording with effects. Subscribing now!
Guys invest in a interface where u can bypass the preamps and buy a good external amp and a compressor.. maybe an eq in the future. I was never an analog person but when ur questioning why ur vocals arent warm and have so many artifacts/sibilance its because ur using 50 plugins to make it sound like an analog vocal chain. Atleast for me 🤷♂️ I used to use so many plugins, now I use like 2.. an eq for additional low cuts and softube cl1b compressor and it sounds craazy.
Great thought! Where would I start?/What is a good external amp or compressor?
@@Paytonwh Bruh, that's like asking which car is the best. Do you know how many of those there are? It depends on so many things like what genre it is, what mic its being used with, what features you want, what type of tone you want, do you want a tone at all, etc. That's not even including the budget considerations. Look up a UA-cam video on that, there are plenty.
@Z M its a 100% false lmao this guy is a jerkoff. anyone who uses only 2 plugins is an idiot
@@BingBongRockety I mean all you *really* need is a volume control and an EQ. compression is just volume automation but way easier. Really talented engineers, especially in the 70s and 80s didnt use much more than that for mixing and mastering. Absolutes in music production in any way makes you an idiot. check yourself BingBong
13:50 this guy is just a sweet wholesome teng

I love this so much. Its funny, cus its this simple and all you gotta do is build on it. Record yourself and dont put shit out if you need practice.

TYSM for this kenny beats.. also anyone know how to go live with mac? discord doesn't support audii during live..
@@888worldwide2 soundcloud.com/user-229670858/can-i-ask-you-a-question-skit
Thanks
too much sauce
What kinda eqing would be done in the tracking channel/bus. Just a high pass? or removing problem frequencies as well
man he giving it out to subscribers, when he took it off of alex tumay, and alex tumay gave it out for free on a live, search for his video and copy the settings its exactly the same as kennys, all kenny did was create a 1/2 delay bus, and a gate in the tracking track
Dulla Bills he explained that at the start and also gave us a few more nuggests Jesus Christ he doesn’t need to do this shit
I highly recommend turning monitoring from "on" or "auto" to "off" on your tracking track, otherwise you will probably get latency in your vocal. Use the direct monitor button on your audio interface instead.
@Nemoon that's correct but Ableton doesn't have the ability to record low latency tracks while it is turned on. If you leave it on your vocal timing will be way off
@@tucker2251 ableton can do low latency monitoring i use autotune while recording, just gotta have a low buffer size setting
solid
@@tucker2251 umm thats how I record all the time lol I put a low buffer on my interface mixer on the computer and its gucci. Obviously depends on buffer and how many/which plugins u have on there but theres usually no latency. Its a bitch when there is tho
@@skayabaya and 100% hit low latency on autotune or that shit will be offff lol
peak reductio helps love it
Can anyone tell me based on this where in the vocal groups doubles, stacks, and in & outs would go?
waves horizon (huge pack of these plugins) is marked down to $300 right now (normally $4,000)
crate digger good looking. Might go jump on this
Kenny needs his own waves bundle
Early artists circles better have a understanding of music
How Do You Use The Gate Effectively W/o Covering Vocals? Like Which Buttons Are Important & What Do They Do?
I like the setup. My only hot take is that you could do the exact same thing but bounce the beat into four stem tracks and have a lot more control
That takes more processing power away from your computer when tracking vocals. Why do that if you intend to send it to an engineer? Also, why waste time trying to mix the beat to perfection when you can do that in post.
I use reaper but i know mostly this all applies. can someone tell me why should i record on a separate track and then drag it down?? i thought it doesnt make a difference. i mean i dont put my effects on my tracks i just make a bus or folder and on it have a gate, autotune, eq, compressor and de esser when i record u know just the basics. then when i start mixing i put the rest of my effects on that same bus apart from my reverb, delays, doublers, ozone imager or anything of that sort that creates space i just send them to the bus. i have separate busses for main vocals, background adlibs etc. sorry if it's a lot im still fairly new to this
Wouldn’t it be better to leave the sends dry on the whole vocal Channel and just adjust the sends accordingly for each vocal track?
Example: If I wanted the lead vocals to sound dry and the adlibs to sound wet with reverb, I can just adjust the main vocal track send to (no reverb) and for the adlib track, turn the reverb send higher? Wouldn’t that make more sense?O is there a better reason that I’m missing for turning the sends up on the entire vocal channel?

Came to the comments to see if anyone would mention this lmfao
Thanks man
What if you don't want the same processing on the verse and hook, you're stuck if you're manipulating it on the main group which holds both the verse and hook or is that where the automation comes in ;)
the CLA 2A is the same thing as the glue compressor in ableton 10 suite. if you have ableton 10 you dont need CLA 2A
or just use the spire studio for recording vocals by izotope if cant get to a studio
This is a great starting point but I will say that gates and low cut filters should be on each vocal track opposed to group but it can work both ways. Every vocal take is different and you may need a slower gate attack on fast verse raps while faster attach on drawn out chorus vocals. Also the different tones on songs will require that some tracks cut more bass out than others so eq on the group just as a big picture but do main eqing on each vocal
bro it's a template, it's not set and forget it's for you to touch on these things
@@baltaza I said that cause he said "the group has the chain. You put the chain on the group only." some people new to recording/mixing might take that as gospel not knowing that it's better to have a gate on each channel not just a group
@@billygoatbleats5991 real answer, I didn't thought about that, so real
🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥💀😶
Does he print the efx he has on the tracking section to the vocal when he records?
I fuck with the analog noise TBH, but I try to set it low as possible. Helps to fill in extremely high treble frequencies and it doesnt fuck with the low end.
What's the best way to download the waves plug-ins he's mentioning for Ableton?
him taking a break to emotionally regulate after having his feelings hurt by a comment 🔥🔥🔥
remember kids, the group has the chain
the Group AKA the "AUX" if you On Pro Tools
nice
fucking love u kenny
Anyone made a logic version of this template?
For using autotune while tracking & mixing with this: would you put it on first or would you apply that after the gate? I was tracking earlier & added the autotune after the gate & think that it sounds a bit off.
i am having a problem with this setup, i have all those compressors on the group, and then i have multiple tracks in the verses, which overlap into eachother. the audio signal from the first verse now compresses the audio of the second verse and so the second one is way to quiet while overlapping. what can i do against this issue except for placing all the effects on the verses themselves and not the group?
Seems like you either need to add a vocal rider/automation to the vocals to level them before they hit the compressor, or gain stage properly and lower the volume of he audio signal from the first verse
22:50 is the chain walkthrough
for future reference
