man thank you for that bonus tip because now I don’t feel so alone. I never understood the concept of recording vocals on a track that isn’t mixed. My process is create the beat, rough mix it, record vocals, and then adjust the mix accordingly because I know when I go into that vocal session I have a better idea of what the end product is going to sound like. Doing a vocal take without that rough mix is like you said going to cost you as you try to compensate in the long run. It’s a great little work flow habit I’ve gotten into and I don’t think I will do things any other way
Thank you for helping artist all across the world really needed to get this knowledge. Thank you god bless you man we the people highly appreciate you Wavy Wayne The Best
I live in an apartment where everybody can hear each other. I usually record at night and I can't be to loud. How can I treat my room so less sound is coming out? I want to feel comfortable while recording and don't want to disturb others. I'm on a low budget.
Get you some insulation. Glue soundproof panels on top of that. Stick that combo on whatever walls/ceilings you want! That'll better isolate you from the people beside and above you... if you got people under you but you're serious about making music. You can stop caring and focus on the process until they call the cops, ask them if it's ok that you get a little loud at certain times in the day, or stack your bread and move lol. Hope this helps
Same. In a townhouse with sliding glass doors as the only window front and back and near an airport. Can’t just move. I bought the house and prices are crazy. Didn’t expect it to be this bad
Oh boy I hated being in your situation. Just work on your song writing ig. It’s tough because you don’t want to record and disturb other, yet you want to become better at recording. That sucks
@@yayolinie4486 I'd recommend the WA-8000. Its solid! - It happens to be on-sale right now too. Check it out on my site. wavyproaudio.com/products/warm-audio-wa-8000-large-diaphragm-tube-condenser-microphone-gold And the Lauten Audio LS 208 is great too! wavyproaudio.com/products/lauten-audio-ls-208-large-diaphragm-front-address-condenser-microphone
Big dog.. Question hopefully you can help with... When using external compressors and preamps... Can you go into the red on the preamp then dial it back on compressors before the interface? Ive heard over driving your pre can add color... Or should you never go into the red even on outboard??? Thanks.
Hey Fam, good question. The answer is that it totally depends on what Sound you are going for, clipping on analog gear can be a desired sound so try it out if you’d like it great if you don’t back off.
I learn a lot from you. keep up the good work. I'd like you to talk about the best colors for the recording studio. I have realized that's most people like dark color on the walls. I looks good but why dark, does it have any effect on the recording?
Hey Fam, I don’t think the colors affect the sound as much as they affect your mood. I painted this black because I was thinking it was gonna be cool, but I actually kind of regret it and wish I went with a lighter color, the black room is very dark lol
Man, i needed this so bad.... my friends' verses came out so good, but when i did mine, they were horrible, and i couldn't get them EQ'd correctly..... i had to step away, frustrated, and have re-recorded 3 different times now. I'm going to go back in with a very light approach and see how that works out. I did have a question, my friend, the reverb i used for his voice is different than how i had mine set up because of us having different voices..... you don't have to stick with the same reverb with 2 different rappers, right?
@waynewav it's just that the audio engineers in the studio have an opposing opinion on it.... like it should be the same. I like uniformity, but I would love to absorb years of knowledge in a few days... I have an ear, i think, but I'm filled with questions that stomp the hell out of me. Sometimes, I find it hard to move forward.
I use that eyes closed trick now for years. I never trust my eyes. Using cpmpressors looking at the screen is a great way to trick yourself. Close your eyes and A/B most the time I made it worse. Less is almost always more
Thank you Wavy! I learned a lot from you keep up the good work. I’m always tuned in. I’m a better artist and engineer because of your wisdom one love tell the family I said what’s up
I learned how to mix like a pro watching all these wavy Wayne videos 🙏🏽🔊🎶🔥
Much love fam 🙏🏽
I’ve been guilty of over processing. Too excited about the many hundreds of plug ins. This is where I’ll start. Subtraction before adding. Thanks.

Those panels work wonders
Thank you so much Wavy for combining all your knowledge in one video. 💪🏾
Good tips bro. I can def use some of these

Move. there is no other option. Or just don't care what they think.

U gotta get your own crib even at hotels u can’t be to loud
Such great tips. Finna follow. Finna run up that page
What about the Lauten Atlantis over the 208? Overkill or worth it even for small room home recording?
🔥🔥🔥🔥 what mic stand is that tho
Sony MDR 7506 do emphasize a lot high mids they are not flat at all ....
“Use that technique to not lie to yourself” is a bar.
This is a great video. The camera tracking your movements is a distraction though
Appreciate that, I’ll be more aware of that on the next one!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!
I've got a question tho What do you think of the Neuman TLM 102?
It’s good for some things. I do not love it on vocals though.
@@waynewav What mic would you recommend in the price range up to 1k

Thanks.
in my experience its best to not clip the mic input. any extra gain needed can be done by the compressor or in the daw.

Great job kidd
I heard you mention the right mic, what if you only just have one?

Much love fam 🙏🏽
Let’s say I record a higher octave over my main lead vocal how should I pan it or should I just leave it in the middle like the main vocal?
I would say record at least 2 layers of the octave and pan the wide under the lead.
@ appreciate you
Right on bro
Hope it helps!
BRAVO!
Got my mattress up against this noisy window rn lol
What mm is your chain?
