Joe my brother I know you have a video coming soon featuring Studio One Pro 7
Excellent illustration to bring home the idea Joe...bravo!
Love the bucket analogy!
Another helpful tool is to select your instrument's eq settings prior to tracking. This is for guitar, keys, bass, etc. Can include mic placement/positioning. This will reduce the amount of information going into the mix and will help specifically with the low mids if you go ahead and make notched reductions between 200-600hz
The infamous "demon frequency". I am so grateful that you taught me to hear this common event. People often overlook this octave resonance and only work on the fundamental frequency.
I did this just yesterday without knowing it. Has a section in a track that was a bit blah. Had a ride ding/tinging along. Swapped out a few hits along the train “ride” for crashes and things came to life. This video helps me know that YES! do more of this! in more ways! thanks Joe!
I've figured out this days ago. Compressed my vocals a lot e realized this frequency and was thinking it was my vocal technique. Thank good Lord it's something comun... I'm gonna just take the frequency out an be happy with it. Bless you, cheers.
Makes total sense! Thanks for a clear explanation.
The balanced mix is the best mix...
Waaaooo!!!
Now I understand!!!
Thanks
As I understand it, we need to be aware when notching frequencies this, the deeper the cut the more it can affect the resonant frequencies. For example, deep cut at 2.5k can affect 5k or 1.25k, or a deep cut at 4k impacts 8k & 2k.
Great explanation and info. Thanks Joe.
Thank you Joe
Great professor Joe. I will try find the ressonances in my next mix.
I love subtractive EQ. Adjusted correctly it can change the feel of your mix. It’s amazing when you focus your tracks with the right subtractive EQ, no pinesal needed👍
best way i found is, first do a mix-down of all instruments, except vocals ...then record vocals ...then turn off mix bus limiter, and set limiter on a bus for vocals, then do final mix-down ...this will make vocals cut-though effortlessly on top of the loudest of mixes ...your welcome! :P
Hey man, I don't rly understand this mixing battle between vocals and music. Can you please check a song of mine and tell me if vocals are fighting the music?
Absolutely not. Why would I record vocals last? This is exactly how you get them clashing with the arrangement. Get the vocals down along the basics (bass, drums, etc.) and then you know if you need any extra stuff. The first step to a good mix is in the *arrangement*. A good arrangement barely needs effort in mixing. I'm not wasting my time on orchestrating and ear candy if I'm just gonna bury it with vocals later.
❓currently in rap there's this trend to have super extreme separation between the vocals and the beat. how is that achieved?
2kish stuff in vocals , guitar , overheads and room mics often get cut by me.
Hey joe so i have a 300$ mic and a home portable booth that i bought from amazon for 400$ the equipment i have is good but as a music consumer turning engineer i feel like i struggle to understand what the dry vocals need in order to eq and compress ect can you make a video on how to more easily hear what your dry vocal needs… also if i could pay you to just listen to my dry recordings to give me feedback on what i could fix or need to fix in the mixing stage would appreciate it so much thank you for all the knowledge you give for FREE!!!
100% broh
Hey Joe !
I have a question for you (maybe an idea foe a new video).
so, Im using studio on 6.6 and I have noticed that not all effect plugin have a mix knob built in.
problem is, some times I want to automate the mix knob, and I couldn't find a decent way of doing it.
If you or anybody have a solution, I would love to hear it !!
Drop 2-4khz in all other instruments , but leave it in the vocals. It’s not as much about turning up a channels volume , as it is reducing combating frequencies.
That won’t solve the ringing frequency in the vocal track.
What we can't discern the key offending resonant freqs on our own? By ear I mean. Can we use generalities? "Around 2K is usually a problem for vocals?" Or use a plugin which allows us to see imbalances?
No you need to learn how to hear it
@@HomeStudioCorner On elec guitar I can find ringing freqs fine. Same idea here... sweep for ringing/whooping?
