10 Pro Vocal Tips You MUST Try

[@Lewis_Brian]

The 7th tip is the smartest thing i've ever heard

[@majorwaveproductions]

Tip 7 is godly. Meaning you use Gain to automate the dynamic, and the fader to adjust volume. That's freaking dope

[@robmodusmusic]

Yeah the gain plug-in at the top of the chain is brilliant, never thought of that. One thing though, I’ve always manually adjusted gain piece by piece so I get the visual representation in the “size” of the waveform… how I wish we could get the benefits of both these methods!!

[@kurstephen1072]

you don’t know how much you’re helping me

[@chrisalexander2726]

Fave tip: turning the head instead of backing away from the mic. Brilliant!

[@SteeVane]

The 45° mouth adjustments and the distortions / saturations / preamp emulators tip had me 🎉

[@ransbarger]

Good stuff! Thank you.

[@accesspointmusic]

Nailed it, absolutely one of the best vocal production tips video there is.

[@rickmayer4002]

Condenser mics for the most part have cardioid patterns, Don't get too close to a SM57 you'll get too much bass because of the proximity effect.

[@hosseinak3638]

Hi Nathan can you make videos about music genres? to make a song on a specific genre, choose the right sounds And stuff like that

[@TwinTwinTube]

🎉thank you so much. I super great full for you sharing your years of experience. Helps me so much.

[@codyperkinsmusic]

That 45 degree angle tip is genius!!!! Thanks!! I have a SM81 and it sounds great in my apartment as long as I'm not right next to a wall. I had a SM7B at one point too and I thought it sounded a lot worse oddly. Seen the SM7B get thrown around a lot as a suggestion but I didn't like the way it sounded

[@nglazas]

I love my SM7B. I bought it specifically because I do not have a treated room (can't really treat my current workspace) and it sounds great.

[@f1rebreather123]

I would like to vouch for the beta 58a. Amazing micrphone, though it is probably about double an sm58.

[@glarrymoreme]

The microphone one was a good one I have messed about with Condensers in untreated rooms. I have just ordered an SM58!

[@reid.5235]

That gain automation is going to save me an absurd amount of time

[@AlexSaheli]

Ty Nathan nice to have you with us

[@kerwinalexander6836]

Very cool and useful video. I have only 1 discrepancy. I'm a singer and I have a home studio. I do my own recordings and now I'm learning to produce, mix and master my own music. I don't have anyone to adjust the gain on the mic during the recording process. I do have the gain on my audio interface set at a no- clipping level. Post production I will listen, look for clipping and change the gain to compensate. Mostly the recording levels have been "good" with my settings so I don't usually have to do a lot of automation. I sing mostly country music and Musical theater/ Broadway showtunes. Can you make videos about music genres? to make a song on a specific genre, choose the right sounds And stuff like that? Much appreciated.

[@jaimomo65]

I use the gain plugin trick in Logic, but I put it at the end of the chain, so it doesn't interfere with the level of compression, saturation, eq, etc. Great video, thanks!

[@rolbazomusic]

Wow, merci pour tout les tips ! I've learned a lot👌🏼

[@kristofvanhooymissen7785]

Thanks mate, very good advice.

[@Filipurelindmusic]

Once again!!!! Fenomenale!!!!💪

[@mukeshpathak7302]

Thank you bro. Love your videos ❤

[@CedricPytelRagtimeStudioUk]

Thank you that' s great! tip 3 is very useful as I didn't know how to use the track alternative function in logic. Tip 7 is also another one I never thought about and really cool but may be the automated gain could be put at the end of the plugins chain rather than the beginning... ?so that you don't mess up with your gain staging...?

[@em8969]

Thankyou for this!!

[@maitavsoni]

Thank y☺u for sharing these awesome vocal tips. It really helped me. Your every video contains a lot of interesting and useful tips....I have improved my music production on LOGIC PRO by applying your tricks. 😊

[@TheLionsDen]

genius dude thank you for this

[@vewilli]

Very useful information! I’m going to try it out on the last recorded female voice, especially the last tip can help with the already recorded vocal! But my vocal recording needs a lot more testing which you mentioned in the first tips. Thanks for these very helpful tips. (By the way: „GAD“ has changed into „vewilli“ without me doing anything ???)

[@benakuamoah1922]

Great content as always Sir

[@mcseventy6]

I wish I had your knowledge 😭😭

[@Hectorymusique]

the gain tip is so great... how many hours of grapping the automation, manually so cool thanks :D

[@czeital]

Loved the gain tip and the reverb too although all very good. Interested if the reverb effect could also be achieved by side chaining the LV to a compressor of the reverb return or would that give a different type of result ?

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

You can do that too. Would have to really adjust the attack and release to dial it in

[@kelvinscott6701]

Ohh now the game bout to change in my DAW. Thanks for the free game bro.✊🏽

[@GaryJamesCarroll]

Awesome tips, thanks so much, Nathan. I'm learning a heck of a lot from your videos and it's all greatly appreciated. ❤

[@AlexSaheli]

Have put myself a reminder to use separeta compressors on vocals (and everywhere if I need more than 5 db) Currently got 1 logic compressor + OTT (25% up 45 down), sounds fantastic 🤔 will experiment 🦥

[@samthompson4815]

One thing worth mentioning with gain automation is using the new gain tool in Logic Pro. I used to use the gain plugin to do this but now it's so much quicker to chop up the vocal parts and adjust each phrase so it averages roughly the same amount of gain. Also for me personally, having too much automation everywhere in the project just starts looking messy and I would rather leave this for effects and volume.

[@czeital]

Is that using the set region gain level feature ?

[@samthompson4815]

@@czeital that's the one!

[@mystikrebel1089]

Gain tip! ❤

[@GlobusTheGreat]

Gang vocals turned that epic song from generic to AOT soundtrack

[@rokkinranch6215]

All your tips in all the videos are simply great! You should get at least ten times more views! I (the uglier one in the picture) use mainly Russian condenser Oktava for vocals (and for many other things, it comes with a selection of different capsules) and SM57 (I prefer the Beta) for some more extreme things. Now I must try the 58. I have done lots of live work and 58 is of course the workhorse, but I have never really tried it for vocals in the studio for real. I really don't know why not.

Hey just wanna say a big thanks for all your helpful videos , and I’ve now decided to upload my first song and would love your feedback, keep up the great work 👍🏼👍🏼

[@mylesclayborne6534]

Faaaacts on the mics for sure hahaha

[@mylesclayborne6534]

Ok that gain automation is crazy good advice

[@patrick5301]

mate get yourself a camera with IBIS. It is so annoying

[@majorwaveproductions]

Or just a gimbal is probably fine. Don't know why you're so worked up about this tho

[@patrick5301]

@@majorwaveproductions he uses handheld as a stylistic choice, yet the camera just jitters around like crazy. there is nothing smooth or nice about it.

[@majorwaveproductions]

​@@patrick5301 True, but it's not too infuriating to watch at least imo. I know it's not smooth since it's just a handheld, but it's also not absolutely terrible. I've seen content far worse on youtube where the cameraperson cannot stop violently shaking the camera, if it's violent shaking then it annoys me but this is fine, at least imo, you can have your own opinion, all good
