Hey brother how are you I just started going back on your videos nice work by the way... got a quick question for you... is it OK to buss both lead vocals, doubles and stabs all together ... because I hear you have to process the doubles differently from the leads ??? Please help thanks ❤
Ahh, Thanks Sean! Applied this step by step and finally i'm on the route to the vocal chain I need! Turns out I've been applying too much processing and pushing things too hard. I loved how much more subtle your moves were but had MUCH bigger impact on making the vocal sound full. Niceone!
Great video! Never miss a Sean Divine video!
Nice video man. I love the simplicity . Def great for people looking to learn. Been doing music for 11 years and you did the same exact as I would 🙏💯💯
Man, thank you thank you thank you. I appreciate you and all the work you put into your videos!🙏🏿
So thank you 🙏🏼!! Have been watching your stuff every day now my vocal so much better 😊😊
One of, if not the best music tutorial channel on YT. I've learned a lot from Sean over the years, but half the time I just throw his videos up because the man speaks well and is relaxing to listen to on top of being very informational. Kudos as well for having a great balance of articulating and showing what you're doing without it getting boring like a lot of channels suffer from, while at the same time not being over the top flamboyant and fake like a LOT of YT channels as well. Great work Sean. I've watched just about all your videos several times and will continue to do so.
Appreciate the kind words, Common! 🙏
@@SeanDivine hey wassup I just subscribed to your channel very informative I just got bought a apple labtop with pro tools on it but I have no idea how to get it up and running if it's a way we can communicate directly to see if you can help me I would be extremely grateful. I've been reaching out to different on UA-cam but I haven't gotten a response yet
Damn…we have the same profile pic lol…somewhat anyway haha
@@ridinglow6732 Captain Spaulding for the win and RIP SID!
beautiful. loved watching this. Thanks Sean 🔥
Thank you Sean, I'm a new guy in this job, your video just open my mind, I will keep watching your other videos, thanks a lot.
You always make dope videos and awesome products 🔥♥️✊🏾
Bruh, thank you so much!!! I have been bumping your jams since the mid aughts. Glad to see you doing your thing!!! This is a game changer for me.
Appreciate that man and glad to help 🙏
Again, it's a blessing for all of us who pick up the Vocal Chain SR. Thank you for the update/bonus! I love the Rode NT1 preset!🔥🔥🔥
😁🙌
Ayy much love bro I love what your doing and what you have made
Thanks Sean, great content as always!
Thanks Sean, you’re always putting out amazing content
Bro, thank you for these tutorial types of videos. I have gotten a lot better with mixing and just setting up a vocal chain with your helpful videos. Keep being successful brotha.....Bless
Most welcome! Great to hear it's helping 🙏
You are one of the finest audio engineers i have ever seen in my life time 🍁 my heartfelt gratitude man ♥️🍁
Appreciate that Saikat! Glad to help 🙏

Stay safe.
You too C, glad to hear it 🙌
most thorough yet concise mixing vid ive seen. thanks bro.

Hands down the most complete Mixing & Recording tutorial I’ve seen on UA-cam 🙌🏼
Glad it helped Yailex!
Can't Wait 🔥
Thanks, always helps!
One of the favorite videos
Looking forward to updating 🔥🔥🔥
Love this track. 👍🏻 There’s so much value in this tutorial - thank you!!
Thank you TJ, glad to hear it helped!! 🙏
Can’t wait till this drops
love the lyrics! the world has gone savage, youre not alone in your thinking.✨ and thankss for the tut
Man!! This is the second time have watched this video. It does not get old. Thank you, so much!! Musical naughtiness personified!! Thank you, so much, for sharing.
Most welcome, glad to help
Thank you for this video I’m so glad u showed me how to make my sm7b sound 10 times better I love this mic it’s top notch especially if you are recording in a untreated room salute to you
🙌
Thanks for this Vocal Chains SR update man! I have the same one (sm7b) and you definitely lifted the blanket on that mic 👌🏻
Sure thing Liam, glad it helped! 🙌
nice tutorial. I like your thought process when you broke down how to use the studio rack vocal chain you made
This is a unique approach to getting a clean sounding track fast. Ive never seen anyone route a vocal stack to a send and process the group as one unit like this. I also liked the sidechain EQ on the 2-track... Money, I dont know why I never thought of that! Great video! As someone who records with less than adequate hardware and in a less than Ideal space I can definitely make use of these tips. Keep grinding and Stay Blessed!
why would you not. All done on the same recording on the same mic, pre, and if vocal produced probably should be dynamically similar.....
Creo que este es el mejor video de Sean 🙌🙌🙌💯🔥
Thank you for helping the community fam. Keep making it simple please so i can replicate it. Im not an engineer. I want something easy that I can understand.
Best tutorial I seen so far step by step thanks for sharing this video with us you definitely got a new member can’t wait to see more
Welcome aboard and glad to help 🙌
@@SeanDivine I appreciate it iam take want you show me try to do better on my sounds with my music I’m on Apple Music and Spotify and so now trying to make good music so be can listen to and choose to follow to hear a lot of it. The name to look up for it is Daren Raymond you can hear it yourself to see what I need to improve more love to hear your inputs.
U a beast bro! Keep up the good work 💪🏾 I like to record with the chain then make some adjustments but this method might be better..
Thanks for sharing another great video
Super helpful vid Sean! 🙏
Great🔥🔥🔥 thx sean! Everytime a lot of inspiration🤘
Another legendary video👏🏾
🙏
You're amazing bro!
🙏
This is just what I need right now
Thank God for your life brother! Blessings from London ✝
That’s great tutorial bro keep it up 🔥🔥
Bro I missed these when you get a new class you got my sale. Thanks for always be my go to logic daw teacher
always legit! thanks bruh!
Thanks man, learned a lot
MAN I TRULY APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO.. IVE BEEN CONFUSED WITH HOW TO DO ANYTHING ON LOGIC AND HOW TO GET CLEAN VOCALS WHILE RECORDING LIVE..
thank you man 🤝
Thanks for your Help
Perfect, you are the man
Thank You Sir 🙏🙏
Thanks Bro you a Genius!
This was dope i learned quite a bit thank you sir
CLEAN!!! 🥶🔥
Subtle additions at every step and final result is a blast compared to raw recording. Love your tutorials man
Appreciate that 🙌
Nice work
THE BEST!
Very Helpfull Man !!
Keep up the good work 👍
The master is back at work! 🙌🔥🔥 Love it man. Quick question, would it have been a wrong choice to boost some 2k back in after taming it with your subtractive eq on the ssl?
No rules, whatever sounds best 👍 I’d reach for a dynamic EQ or multiband comp in that case to add it back with more control!
fav person on youtube to learn from bout this music shit. thanks bruh dope vid
Thanks this is super helpful
Very good content and very interesting tips!
Even though I've come a long way in my learning, this video has provided some enlightenment on what I'm not doing. I'm not adding enough compression on my vocals to get that full-on commerical sound. I'll keep referencing his video.
Thanks
Super Master ❤️
You rapping now... cool! 🔥
wow, superb
Thank u so much bro
Freakin AMAZING video and Knowledge dude ! U ROCK ! and great track and lyrics and delivery too :)) keep it up!
🙌🙏
Love this video! I really need to get f6, very versatile. I've been using the stock pro tools compressor with the filters set so its individual bands like a multi band, just had to use 2 maybe 3 of them set to different bands (on a 2 track to make room for vocals). F6 would be way easier lol
Really helpful 👌🏾
Thanks man
damn man this what exactly i needed someone to show me the ropes i am trying to record and mix my own songs bymyself and its been really rough, i always put my gain stage to high trying to get that commercial sound, and i been destroying my recordings, having high noise in the processes of getting the commercial sound as you explained, you sir deserve a very big thank you
hope y'all doin well. 👍 😄 love your videos... thanks for sharing knowledge
I heard good takes make the mixing process fun
Thats amazing
Thank's for your video Sean! I'm an Haitian, i see you broh, keep going!!!
Need to see some beat production vocal Sean that would be beautiful your beats are my favourite
Said it once I’ll say it again. Your the man Sean. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Much love to you and the beautiful country of Ireland! 🙏
thanks dear
Very very good
nice work
mastering with ssl fusion 🔥🔥🔥
If your studio dont give a good acoustic isolation uses Poltergate for Denise Audio to remove noises, thats good!!!
A REQUEST Sean! Please can you make a tutorial how to basic make a Track and mix it to a 2 track before dubbing the vocals. would really appreciate that, like this trutorial above
Thank You Bro
Superb video
You have great lyrics Bro!
thanks bro!
Miss you bro!!
Not even kidding, I was scared of you knocking the can over 😂 I appreciate this video helped a ton
Thank you bro ❤
sure thing bro!
Appreciate you
nice beat
thank
🔥 🔥 fire it’s why I support you brother. You give amazing free game I know that should cost money 💰
You deserve donations for all this free knowledge you're giving us Sean. Thank you!
edit: random question: what mic would you recommend for R&B recording (female)?
Rode K2 detail is great for female vocals. If you have a very dynamic performer, the sm7b and a little bit of compression goes a long way!
I learned a lot about finetuning, thanks man. my mix was really rough before!
Glad to help 🙌
Good video
