    Spent 10 years grinding through trial and error to learn the secrets of electronic music production, and then this man of the nords comes along and gives away all the secrets for free just like that... Haha, where were these generous people when I started out? Great videos, man. You’re reaching out a hand to the next generation of music makers. Quality stuff.

      When I was starting out in 1998, there was no info at all back then, only songs you loved and the projects you physically bring home on floppy disks to scavenge for samples. In 2020 it feels weird and awesome at the same time to see how much effective knowledge people on UA-cam can bring to the table that was absolutely absent when I was starting, and even to this day I still could learn.

    I've been engineering and producing for around 17 years now. Got some training (and a bunch of student debt) about 13 years ago, yet the coursework was run through so quickly there wasn't any time to make sure I really understood WHAT I was doing, only what techniques I'm supposed to use.
    I know every part of the process to mix, but I like seeing people's videos, just to see if they explain it in a way that makes more sense to me. You hit on everything important in this video, and vocals is the last "hurdle" I have to cross to be satisfied with my mixes. I'm really glad I came across this video today, and I'll be checking out more of your content! Kudos!

    A trick I think is very useful to use is by duplicating your vocal and put a stereo widener on it and then cutting off a little of the low ends of the vocal thereby your vocals still have a complete feeling and make your mix full but the attention is put on your central and main vocal. Just a quick little tip I think is useful.😊

  • @improvementTime10.3.17
    @improvementTime10.3.17 5 років тому

    Doing these small steps to Make sure your base vocals are 90% done will help prevent that amateur mix sound
    3:15 balancing base vocals before using compressor
    5:00 going back to comping and pitching a vocal part correctly so auto tune isn’t used too much an creates an unnatural sound
    6:40 auto tune each channel/ vocal track independently
    If you try to be lazy and batch auto tune all vocals together it will get messy and will show
    7:25 be wary not to overdo removal of specific sound waves in each vocal part too much, because removing too many of these sound freq can make the vocal sound unnatural, after all its the combination of these diff freq that give each of us our original sounding vocal instrument
    8:10 the singers vocal could sound better 1 half tone down because she may be using chest vs head or mix
    But if the track requires it to be 1 semitone up
    Then you could have her sing it 1 semitone down & then pitch it up 1 semitone in post
    Doing 1 semitone pitching up or down can still sound very natural
    ===============
    5:18 if you want to fine tune the auto tune like adding vibrato or other specifics....
    6:36 now that everything is in key, time to remove everything that you don’t want = EQ
    7:50 you can also automate the EQ to help takeout those randomly high freq
    8:40 he’s EQd out freqs in the supporting vocals to the point where it doesn’t even sound good anymore on their own
    But the point is that they sound good as supporting vocals to make the lead vocal sound even better
    8:55 can also automate the harmonic vocals to put more emphasis on certain parts of the singing line

    You do vocals very similar to me... I have not seen anyone else notch out every annoying freq in a vocal and also use a Q to notch out Sibilance with a de-Esser , that’s exactly what I do. I also do that in my mastering chain to get rid of every annoying freq for the overall track.
