Alright! I hear y’all! I’ll be back to the enthousiastic and energetic shouting when I film the next bunch of videos! As long time viewers might have noticed, I do listen to ideas, and also so not shy away from trying new things.
I love your energy and have watched for years because of you!!! Be yourself my man! I know the haters are loud and those that appreciate the content you make tend to be quiet, but be yourself otherwise burnout will be right around the corner… and we need you in the community 🙌
Brother, stay spontaneous, loyal to yourself and your energy; only then will you remain genuine and authentic. Some will leave, making room for others ;) We love u

I think the problem is he wants to keep the channel going but it isn’t financially viable at the moment hence he’s started taking sponsors. The other part of that is he’s more sensitive to outside noise because he thinks if he addresses all the naysayers then he’ll be able to grow it financially. However, all that will happen is he will end up diluting what made him successful to begin with.
I do like the all-in-one approach, but to me, spending $199 to replace a process I'm already able to do with the plugins that I have is just not worth it to me. Positive takeaways for me are: - FX Ducking, which works wonders and allows you to crank up delays and reverbs; more effects plugins should feature this. - Pre-selected drag points on the EQ curve controls; tailored to quickly dial in/back harshness, air, body etc. - No shouting during the review process ;)
I mean, now that you say yes, you were indeed shouting a little bit, but now I feel like you're pulling your characteristic enthusiasm back! We'll always prefer you to be the way you want to be, that's why we watch your channel! Also, tysm for your big support for the community, I've learned quite a lot with you
I like your amped up personality. You get loud when you feel something is important, and it's both relatable and entertaining. Love your channel regardless, man!
Hey man! I hope you feel better soon. And your able not giving a damn about those people whom think they can dictate how you‘re running your stuff only cause you made one little mistake. Scream, yell, swear, fart or whatever you feel like. It‘s about entertainment and not people pleasing. You are a good person and youre doing a great job!
uad has been my favorite company for effects like compressors and reverbs since we've been able to use their stuff without the previous hardware requirement
I love this thing. Just got my first Apollo and this comes out at the same time. It’s the new GEN two. Had to get them both and it’s my new default tracking FX plug-in so I don’t have to waste resources running SSL channel strips and serial compressors just to track vocals
I have several of these vocal combo plugs and this one is by far the best. I don’t use the auto tune or the de-esser, but the rest is solid gold. I also was not using the format control but as I saw you tweak it briefly along with its mix knob that looks extremely useful. I don’t use this exclusively on a vocal but it does most of the heavy lifting. Also I tend to use EQ before and after compression: out with the bad, compress, then in with the good basically.
As vocals are out of the tune, most of the time. Its not advised to use vocals as a source material for the key finder. You run the instrumental through the keyfinder and whatever the key it gives will be accurate majority of the time. Then you tune the vocals to that X-Minor / Y-Major
My vocal plugin chain is Melodyne for fixing pitch if needed, stock EQ to dump some of the rumbly low end and maybe cut some frequencies I don't like, 1176 UA Plugin set to limit just the really hot notes, LA-2A UA Plugin set to taste, and then if I need it I might use Soothe 2 to "smooth" things out. I've been experimenting with putting Soothe 2 into different spots in the plugin chain. I'd say my chain is a lot more complicated than this plugin, but to my ears it sounds a lot better. I really like the UA plugins a lot.
For shift the mixing/live mode probably has to do with the timing of the doubles. Mixing probably allows negative delays at the cost of plugin latency.
Everything points to E minor as far as the key goes. And of course, you can always turn off the tuning module =] I’m of the camp that goes corrective first, then dynamics, then creative, which includes “enhancement”. So for vocals, address things like sibilance or mud or unwanted resonances first. Then go for dynamics. Then additional processing that will enhance the character of the vocal and this could include boosts to make it stand out in the mix.
@@Wizardofvoz2 He also said that this is just the vocal and there are no other instruments at the moment. Furthermore, it could be that the verses are in E minor, but perhaps the chorus could be in G (a classic move in plenty of songs). Until other parts come into play, I am very sure this is supposed to be E minor. Also, the key confusion that does arise with Sweet Home Alabama is whether it’s G major or D Mixolydian. But yes, the melody does not necessarily have to contain the root or be “in the key”. But again, that only becomes apparent when you have other instruments at play. Context is everything. And yes, if other parts would come into play, it could be something else. In fact, the underlining chord could be a G6.
Since the plugin suggested D/Bm as well, there might be parts in the melody where she sings a C# instead of a C. If songs don't stick to one major or minor scale it should be safer to use the chromatic scale (or make up a custom scale if you know what accidentals are being used). I'm certainly not a fan of automatic tuning, but in the end it's a stylistic choice. By now people are so used to hearing over-tuned vocals that this is the sound that's kinda expected by many people.
There's a saying "don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" You're killing it, you deserve it, you've worked hard to be where you are. Be yourself. If you want to shout, you're allowed to shout! :D
Man. Don't listen to those people. That's why I watch your videos. Your excitement and how real looks. I can see you are trying to keep it down. I love those reactions of you. Keep getting loud and crazy!
As a one-stop-shop it’s (almost) perfect. This, but with Sonible style presets and smartEQ/Compressor would be fantastic to just give homerecording singers who can’t work plugins. Also, why is that key finder not just built in?
lol i noticed the high energy lately too but it doesn’t bug me. honestly it’s probably better for the algorithm. there’s a reason mr beast is at the top of his lungs in his intros 😆
Hey friend, sort off topic comment here but I have a request for you - is there anyway you could review the Make Believe Studios/Metric Halo Sontec plugin? I personally find it very good. I would bet you may have access to a Sontec at friends studio as well...perhaps. Not that a shootout is needed, I'd just love to hear your thoughts as I feel like it sounds extremely good
Mate if you want to shout in your videos, DO IT! It's your video and if it feels natural for you to speak in a louder voice when you're excited about something, then you should shout. I'm exactly the same and I've been criticized countless times on my speaking voice. You can't please everybody. No matter what you do, someone will complain about something. Your videos are great and they've only gotten better over the years.
Please shout as much as you want. An take money from company's without doubt. We love you because you don't afraid of company's and don't be afraid of your own audience
The only criticism I have is that you always seem to use fantastic mixes to test your plugins on! I feel like it would be a lot more interesting if you used not so well mixed tracks yet.
Alright! I hear y’all! I’ll be back to the enthousiastic and energetic shouting when I film the next bunch of videos!

You should have written your comment in ALL CAPS!!!
Yes. Your more exuberant approach is something I've grown to actually like. And ... you keep me awake. 🙂💙💙💙

Bro I have a complaint. You have to stop taking all criticism. What makes you you is your screaming. Same goes for the temu thing. It is your channel
Exactly 💯

Yeah, I'm overcompensating a bit at the moment...
I never thought you were yelling - I always enjoy your energy and enthusiasm - don't let the haters change who you are!!!
Shout as much as you like :)
Your shouts are your signature, man!
That's why I follow you bro!
Should never let people dictate how you should act. They don’t like it they can leave. Be yourself my dude.

The comments on this video are inspiring me to stop giving a f#ck again
Geniet echt van je videos! en tof om je ontwikkeling te zien over de afgelopen jaren, geen beter kanaal te vinden online! lekker doorgaan gozer!
I tried it today. It's kinda sick. It's a great starting point for a vocal channel. Very smart, simple, intuitive layout too.
uad has been my favorite company for effects like compressors and reverbs since we've been able to use their stuff without the previous hardware requirement

I love this thing. Just got my first Apollo and this comes out at the same time. It’s the new GEN two. Had to get them both and it’s my new default tracking FX plug-in so I don’t have to waste resources running SSL channel strips and serial compressors just to track vocals
Not using a digital channelstrip except SSL 4K E until Fabfilter finally releases theirs
R they working on one?
Metric Halo channel strip is goated
Your enthousiasm is very recognisable, I dont even notice myself, but yea... others seem to notice, indeed 😁
I use the 610 Preamp, Manley variable Mu and the Top Line Vocal suite. Results are amazing!!!!😱🔥

I agree I tried this and bought it IMMEDIATELY.
I have Xvox and The Spirit by Cradle. And this blows those out the water!!

Its not advised to use vocals as a source material for the key finder. You run the instrumental through the keyfinder and whatever the key it gives will be accurate majority of the time.
Then you tune the vocals to that X-Minor / Y-Major
Unlike PSP Audioware, e.g. Saturator, the wooden rims and classic look of the plugin discussed above do not bother you this time? What a turn !
This thing suddenly appeared in my Plugin list and my word, it's a great and unexpected alternative to auto tune and a pre amp
Bro, I love your videos. Keep doing what you're doing exactly like you're doing it. I don't mind you shouting logic and knowledge at all.
Cool content, and I like when you get animated we can get pumped about what we love to do, Rock on Bra!

G
And Sweet Home Alabama is also,in the key of G. Imdid a few shows with Ed King, and HE told me so.

Since dynamics are more affected by low frequencies, you can do a hi-pass filter before dynamics and EQ the rest of the frequencies after ;)
It appears you can't with this tool.
@@sparella I was never fond of 1 plugin do it all. The most I use is Fabfilter suite. ;)

Waves - Butch Vig Vocals works very good for me, no tuner included though
You can get better results from separate plugins IMO. Quite expensive for what it is.......
Shout more plz! Love your enthusiasm
RX - ''that thing'' is one my favs !
this is the sort of plugin I would buy but only on black friday sale for like, maybe 12 dollars. but if it was in my DAW I would use it
Your life is cool man

Hey man! Love your content. Just be you. Dont sweat the haters.
How does this compare to the Harrison fastrack?
This could be used live for a small vocal gig I guess
When I use auto tuners I don’t usually like to lock them to a key because a lot of the time there are notes that don’t fall into the specific scale..
Your next video could be a side by side comparison of Xvox pro vs Topline.
I had the exact same experience with the Gate/De-ess controls. Which way is up???
You’re Great! Thank U 🙏
Great Vid, thank you.
lol i noticed the high energy lately too but it doesn’t bug me. honestly it’s probably better for the algorithm. there’s a reason mr beast is at the top of his lungs in his intros 😆
Yeah, I like when you get excited!! Screw the people who don’t know how to turn their shit down 😑
looks like there is a eq -> dyn switch above eq dyn settings that would reverse order
Key Finder should have the music played through it, so it can tune the voice to the music.
Passion!
I think there was a way to switch the order of EQ and Dynamics.
Hey, can you make a review of apulSoft splitS? 🙏
Hey man, would it be alright if I shot you an e-mail for some vocal mixing tips? I’m doing something very peculiar so I’d like some specific advice.

For the money get the JST Howard benson vocals. Instant mix ready.
I bought this plugin and have been using it for 6 months, very good but too colorful for some styles of music...
Yes, G Major is the parallel key of E minor. One F# is in there. Metalheads love this key.^^
Em is the relative key to G Major not the parallel key. G Major and Gm are parallel keys.
please do a video on the ssl stuff from uad
“Shout, shout, let it all out.” It’s your signature, my friend. Love your work.
Is there a streaming latency?
What??!! Shout all the fuck u want brother. Thats a good sign of authentication. 👍🏾💪🏾😉
You should shout more!!!! Pleeeease!!!!
Yelling??? I been here since the oil or snake intro, I still love the way this man give us info
Song name: Sandstorm - Darude (featuring Julia)
can you use this with dsp?
I personally am an eq-to-cut then dynamics then eq-to-boost guy
Yes. G Major and E Minor wouldn't make a difference for this, as both keys use the same notes (just different root notes, which doesn't matter).
dude just be you. we watch because we like your crazy.

Melodyne tutorial!
SHOUT AWAY MATE!
You speak perfectly.
Do you need uad hardware?
no, you can subscribe uad spark or buy individual plugins
SHOUT! SHOUT! LET IT ALL OUT! - Bring back the shouting.
You did the key finding so wrong , but you said you are more on the tech side
The tuner kinda sucks, I compared it to the Waves Tune Live and the UAD tuner really has a hard time keeping up.
Your videos are always awesome, and tbh I think the louder tone is trademark White Sea because of the enthusiasm.
This plugin sounds interesting...
Its windy today so a little less shouting is okay, but just for today okay ?
Don’t loose your confidence! ❤
The only criticism I have is that you always seem to use fantastic mixes to test your plugins on! I feel like it would be a lot more interesting if you used not so well mixed tracks yet.
Proof you can’t please everyone. I personally LOVE when you get worked up randomly
I LOVE THE SHOUTING DONT STOP - I love your energy!!
Please respond to the Phil Speicer comments on the last video!
the perfect chain is definitely analogue.
Nice plug in, sounds great, but this is something pretty much everyone watching this video will be able to do with the tools they already have.
Xvox pro is the best vocal chain plugin
Yes
Nectar 4 also is good
Bit xvox bumdle beats all so far
Xvox pro, xpitch & xrider is a great combination
This plugin murders that. Xvox isn’t even CLOSE to what this thing can do
You could hire a vocal coach, I hear Ken Tamplin has some spare time. He can coach and lip sync your videos too! His screams are legendary!
We love your videos man, especially the ones where you’re being yourself, that’s why we subscribed in the 1st place. 😊 0:04
Ignore these Muppets. You Do you. Don't end up sounding like some call centre, help line drone.
B minor
I like the shouting! It shows you are passionate!
Its not yelling you are just passionate about the subject! That's a good thing brother.
Xvox Pro is the perfect vocal chain plugin. Just sayin'. 😉
This is better than
