My brother, regarding 3:40 - if you are using a reverb on a return ALWAYS make sure the mix is at 100% and then just turn down the volume of the return channel or of the amount you're sending to it. Mixing in even a small amount of the dry signal can cause significant volume changes in the vocal being sent to it which will also result in a false perception that the return is really a great effect (cuz louder = better). Avoid these misperceptions at all cost when mixing.
This is a fair note. I honestly just used a preset here and adjusted to taste in this specific example but could’ve and should’ve been more mindful of that 👊🏼
I’m mostly mixing songs for artists who are recording themselves these days. I can tell you that this track was recorded with a Neumann TLM 103 going into an Avalon VT737sp channel strip and then into an Apogee interface I believe. I may be wrong on the interface but this is definitely a higher end recording chain and not the norm with what I deal with. Many other songs I’ve mixed are recorded by artists using more modest gear like an Audio Technica AT4040 or Shure SM7B going into a Focusrite Scarlett or UAD Apollo Twin interface directly.
@@workprod4025the reality is there is no such thing as a good or bad mic or even vocal chain, it really boils down to how the vocalist and the vocal chain works in harmony. Sometimes, I’ve used basic, home studio gear for artists even though we had access to high end gear because it simply sounded better for their voice and more appropriate for the track (in this example, it was a more raw rap recording so we didn’t need a pristine sound but rather a more edgy one). I recommend, if you can depending on your location, renting mics and preamps to shoot them out one song at a time, or go to a studio that has the gear you want for a few hours just to try the gear and see how it sounds with your (or the artists) voice. End of the day, technique, performance and making high quality music prevails. The gear just enables you to do stuff but it really shouldn’t make or break the success of a song (many big artists exemplify this like the weeknd using a $500 SM7B for some of his best work!). Hope this helps.
My guy, can you please drop your studio rack please? so I can grab it but I can't buy studioverse for some reason due to the licence or something thanks shame
I’m not sure how else to share it other than through my StudioVerse profile which is in the video description link. Unless I’m missing something and there is another way to share it?
Okay, do you sell or provide templates, please, where I could buy Like the effects like this where its already been bused and everything thanks?@5piece
@@LJ-ie8wjworking on it, my hiccup has been determining which plugins to use so it’s most accessible but I promise it’s a priority over the next few weeks for me. You’ll know when it’s live as I’ll be sure to do a video that ties into the templates directly. Appreciate you asking and supporting 🙏🏼
Provides different character and rhythmic patterns. Mondomod does more than just a standard ping pong - very tweakable with a lot more "in-between" patterns that H-Delay on its own wouldn't be able to replicate as far as I'm aware. If you prefer to use H-Delay on its own, more power to ya - just showing my approach, which is based on my own taste and preferences ;)
@5piece ahh yes I understand. H-delay just provides the sound going left and right while modulation e.g. you can change the speed without changing the feedback. Thanks
Links to my StudioVerse profile, plugins, videos and songs mentioned can all be found in the video description. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
I don’t think y’all understand the value of the gems he’s dropping on the freeski. Appreciate this man. 💎💎
Appreciate you bro! 🙏🏼

Thank you for the jewels as usual! Could you also record an alternative video using Pro Tools stock plugins for these particular EFX? Thanks!
My last video pretty much covers that, give or take a few effects: ua-cam.com/video/0a4pTDlIyPQ/v-deo.htmlsi=T2zIJswmN0Seb0S-

Why use mondomod when H-delay has ping pong on its own
