I just want to say that I usually watch videos at a speed of 1.5x, but your channel is an exception, and that's good :)
I was hoping you'd say "but your channel is an exception, I watch it at 2x"
This is more of a useful vid for us that are usually overwhelmed or that aren't worried about "producing" but just to improve and learn these kinda useful methods. Learning these kinda methods can be used widely...
That song is on fire! It’s Big
Haha I nodded exactly when u nodded on that spaced out verb
Yes, all excellent.
Send it to a bus, much more control and you can add other effects, EQ and sidechain ducking compressor, reverb, saturation.
Great informative vid!! I love how you give and play different examples. Keep on grinding bro!! Much ❤️ Nathan!!
Simply great, listening example and ways of using delays! I know much more now, but using it/applying it to my mixing abilities will take me a lot of time, as I’m always a beginner and Nathan is a professional. However I love your videos as they are showing me new ideas. Thanx so much!
Very useful for what i need right now.Thanks Nathan !
Wonderful channel and your expertise, extremely helpful. Thank you!
That track sounds amazing!
Wow thanks a lot for this boss.
I've learned a lot from this video especially when using Reverb after delay
Thank you, this video opened up great possibilities.
I'd prefer to automate the send level or send mute instead of the bus mute - it makes it easier to draw in the automation based on the timing of source material, and no danger of cutting off the delay tail.
Great video! You can configure a custom logic shortcut to toggle read/latch automation. I like setting it to keyboard number 5. You do it in the key commands -> edit settings panel. It doesn't always work for busses, but it changed the game for me to have a hotkey for it! I think you'll find it useful too.
Interesting video, thanks for creating it.
The volume of you speaking was varying quite a lot, and was a lot lower than the music playback, so i found myself twisting my volume knob a lot throughout this video.
A compressor/limiter on you voice could be great, if I may allow myself to come up with a suggestion.
Keep the videos coming, they are being enjoyed 🤙
God Bless you man,Found this Very helpful
Nice 👍 Exciting to have a preview of your upcoming Sky on Fire 🔥 release!!
great tip! thank you!
awesome! thank you so much bro!
Good job. Cutting below 500 Hz on guitars. The mud. On reverbs what do you want it to do. Depends on how much traffic is going on. I agree delay then reverb. When that instrument comes in the reverb does to... 👍🏾
AMAZING
So much valuable info in your vids, always. I do feel mildly epileptic watching all the cuts in your narration vid through - minor critique, never noticed before but today my eyes kept searching and then focusing on the cuts and it was hard to focus on what you are teaching us. Could be that I'm easily distracted... Anyway, huge thanks for the insider tips!
Extremely useful tips, thank you! What are the drums in the track??
Thanks Nathan. Spot on......could do with maybe a reminder of how to bring the Bus strip into the arrange page. Also the track is brilliant. Has it been released yet?
Very informative. You've giving me some more tools in my toolbox which I greatly appreciate. But I now have this song stuck in my head! When it's available could you please put a link in the description or let us know the artist's name or song title? This earworm I fear is not going away! Keep up the good work!
The number 1 question for me now is volume and mastering 🤔 & bringing vical more foreward just like in this video, ty 🤔🙏.
👁️👅👁️
I'm not saying that is not important - but I would say like 8/10 times I hear someone say that ... it's usually just not true.
I also do not master my music (this track you hear is not mastered) - I hire a mastering engineer... never have done it myself because it's a totally different skillset. Too many producers are trying to do absolutely everything and wind up being mediocre at all of it instead of genuinely good at one or two things.
Which do you want to be? A producer? Mixing engineer? Mastering engineer?
That's three different jobs.
I do producing and mixing - but not mastering. I don't have time to become a mastering engineer because I'm constantly busy with the other two
If you want a more forward vocal then bring it forward with volume and compression - that's not mastering or "loudness" - that's just getting a good foundation of mixing. Mastering will only make better what is already good and make what sounds bad probably sound worse. Mastering is not a "fix it all solution" - if your mix isn't killer without mastering then it won't be killer with mastering.
If something doesn't sound loud when you are mixing - then just turn your monitors/headphones up and get it sounding great that way.
Basically:
Produce as if mixing doesn't exist
Mix as if mastering doesn't exist
You do that and your music will sound better.
@@NathanJamesLarsen Hola, ty very much for the insight. Ye, I saw almost all your videos & as a musician I first of all focus on making it good before mixing 😎 I currently am working on a Linkin Park cover.
Hm probably gotta find aome1 to master then idk, it doesn't look like a huge skillset from what I saw, probably I dont get mastering
Ty for the lessons!
🔥🔥
Yep that's what Im doing right now
Nice Tips Thanks! Maybe you can do a review about this Presonus R80 v2!
Well understood that those were not "shameless plugs" [wink wink] for BA, but I'm CRAZY about their vsts, SO MUCH FUN TO USE! Beautiful music, great work there, honorable sir. Respect.
Baby Audio reached out to me originally probably 2 years ago and I said "no" like 3 times before finally giving them a try - and I use their stuff in EVERY production now. Not because of any relationship with them but because their plugins are actually insanely good
So let’s say you have volume automation on your delay bus and you still want to be able to adjust the overall volume of it with the fader while mixing…. Is this possible or do you just use a gain plugin?
exactly what youd want to do. Use a gain plugin to avoid conflictions with fader
gain plugin
Watched the prod of the song, wish I could work under a producer
These techniques are great and they can definitely add to an engineer's toolbox, but phrases like "if you're not doing this, you're not gonna get a professional sound" can sort of scare new engineers/producers into ALWAYS doing this and that can be problematic. There are many applications for delays, like a super fast/tight delay on a vocal (a slapback to add depth), that would not benefit from this type of processing. Sure, maybe some tonal shaping (which is almost always the case and built into most delays) but not distortion and reverb. Those "if you're not doing this" kind of phrases can be ultimately unhelpful for some.
Who is the artist? Name of song?
This is one of my mine in collaboration with Saylor Wilterding. This song is releasing on a record Feb 17 (I release music as NJL)
Song name is Sky on Fire
@@NathanJamesLarsen Looking forward to it. I'm more of a rock guy, but I learn a lot from your pop productions. This song is FIRE.
Who's the singer ?
Her name is Saylor Wilterding.
cool tricks there! that heavy de essing makes it sound like she just got braces tho..
😀🥰😍❤
I have some automations (especially 3x the Reverb) in my beautiful song (short 3 Min-Video) → "Alex Rome vs. BLUEeyedCAT // Same Vocal - 2 Different Versions" → ua-cam.com/video/zHpgD3r7gbU/v-deo.html
Just be creative...
Very interesting video and cool song, but your voice level is way too low compared to the song, it makes watching a bit less enjoyable....
video is too long. you talk to much
