    1, input gain to loud
    2, output gain to low
    3, having the microphone facing backwards
    4, H/W buffer size too high
    5, mic too close to the a wall
    6, mono vocals on sterio track
    7, beeing to close to the microphone
    8, too much room noise
    9, too much compresion or EQ
    10, not using your ears but only your gear
    great video man! thanks for the tips

    Man, you have taught me in two days something I thought would take me weeks to learn. I now have all the equipment you listed in the "Setting up a home recording studio" tutorial I watched yesterday. And now this is video is teaching me the comon mistakes to avoid as a beginner as I work on my first mixtape. This couldn't have come at a better time. So thanks man.

    As a producer and engineer for 29 years now, I like the tips you've given-though they are very specific for recording vocals. One of the best tips I've ever been given is to have a 'guide track,' a tune that you think is a 'perfect recording' in some way (overall mix, engineering, the placement of the vocals, whatever) and use that to guide what you're working on. My mentor worked on Music Row in Nashville for years and also told me 'NEVER BE AFRAID TO FAIL!' When you're starting, there is a better chance of failing than getting it right. What you learn in failure is often more important. I learned how to mix when recording to DAT was the hottest thing out there...I had to re-learn when I started mixing in the box. I'm glad you're trying to make the world sound better Wayne.wav...thanks.

  • @andrewbigam1750
    @andrewbigam1750 4 роки тому +1

    Great tips man! I especially appreciate the last tip about using your ears because I've heard producers and engineers say that before, but you broke it down in a way that really made sense to me. Even if you follow someone's tutorial exactly, if it doesnt sound right, then something isn't right. Music is super contextual so what works in one instance, may not in another. Never assume something will work just because your levels are good, eq is good, compression is good, etc. Your ears will tell you instantly whether or not something is hitting the way you intended! Just gotta make sure you're paying attention!

      I cringe to think of some of my newbie mistakes! One time I pulled back on the Master Volume on the studio's Neve 24 track console in the middle of session and my instructor about flipped his lid at me! I learned then and there that you NEVER touch the Master Input volume until the session is completely over. My embarrassment was intense and my face a really deep shade of red! 😯 My instructor had worked with Ozzy Osbourne, Ella Fitzgerald, Clint Eastwood and many others at his Hollywood studio, so I felt like a total fool! ;)

Taking the time to real nail that recording with as few toys as possible is the key to great mixes!

    Thanks WavyWayne for the tips. I am a beginner beginner engineer with a new home studio.You have been a lifesaver. I find your videos perfect for me to understand. I am using Logic Pro X . I didn’t care to do the engineer thing and would have rather stayed in my lane as a veteran vocalist, but it became too much sharing the main home studio with my husband and son as they are musicians as well. Anyhow because you are so great at what you do and how you instruct I found your videos a great asset. I hope to someday use your services as a Master mixer for some of my tracks. Thanks a million. 🙂 Val Marie Higginbottom. Rejoice Studio. ValmaRejoice Productions
