Word if learning how to mix is your thing. Call up a pro studio pay the studio Fee and sit with the engineer bro. You'll spend less doing it that way than going to school. People coming out of school have it very hard landing jobs as 90% of them have no real world experience tracking or mixing.. Don't be that student.. the degree means nada in this field

@Serom
@Serom 2 жыл бұрын
@@brandenicole7 I’m at the SAE right now (in Paris) and fully disagree with this comment. This tutorial is just a really quick coverage of just one module. The SAE will teach you about sound engineering in DEPTH. You will learn sound theory and the physics behind sound, you will learn Signal Flow and how to use consoles (there is an SSL 4000 like the one in the video in Paris’ campus), you’ll learn about electronics, learn how microphones work, learn how to properly use metrics etc. The thing with sound engineering schools is that they can’t teach the most important thing to get good at mixing, which is having a good ear and quickly spot the issues. Only practice can do that. To help you with that, the SAE has a lot of computers with Pro Tools, Ableton and Logic Pro in them so you can train on any Apple-compatible DAW. You also have access to studios with professionnal material. The school will finally provide you something that tutorials won’t : people. The SAE network is pretty huge (in France at least), and you’ll get the opportunity to meet some extremely experienced people. These people will sometimes be your teachers. I’ve never felt so professionnal and never understood sound engineering better than now, and I can tell you that my scholarship at SAE (wich started 2 months ago), played a role in that. Please remember that I’m talking about my personnal experience in PARIS. It may be different in other campuses, and this school is really made for people who want to become confirmed sound engineers. Not for people willing to have a good mix for their home made songs. Hope it helped, I would advise you to check by yourself before you do anything.

Raj Beats Those “cuts” are being done by the multiband compressor. There still is “cuts” in frequency but only when said freq needs it. This way you don’t hear any cutting when it’s not necessary, possibly sucking the life out of the performance. Those first few changes that you barely noticed where some of the most important as it prepared the vocal for the busses comp (rvox). Had he shown the vocals with Rvox but without the multibands, the Rvox would have responded MUCH differently. But yeah, no EQ cutting except on the sub-lows, but I get what you’re saying. Multi band is where it’s at. *apologies if I’m stating the obvious for you..
@JacobraRecords
@JacobraRecords 6 жыл бұрын
Except he was doing like 1db of compression on rvox lmao. He was sent an already mixed vocal and just barely put processing on it. That's why you didn't notice the first couple moves. For anyone with a raw recorded vocal with no processing, this mixing isn't going to get them anywhere close.
@ilikemyrealname
@ilikemyrealname 6 жыл бұрын
My guess is the processing you're hearing from the raw vocals is the outboard gear on the way in. What happens when you take care of all those little spikes of frequencies is you'll need significantly less compression on the buss. It's the same concept as stacking compressors so each one is only doing a little bit of work to sound more transparent. In this chain, many of these stacked compressors are just working on specific ranges. That Rvox is actually adding a lot to the vocal, even at a reduction of only several db because of how the vocal was processed leading up to it. As far as not hearing the initial moves, that just comes with time and experience. After a while, you'll be able to pick these out by ear and be in the ballpark when you go to process them. Good luck!

Waves are the industry standard plugins. UAD is there but in the most of the studios I have been in - Waves bundles of some sort are there. In this case though it's not the tool that matters, Lu Diaz is giving people advice on how to treat vocals first and the plugin theory second. The number one mistake people make when mixing vocals is not researching how to do it right. So yes, Waves plugins can make your vocals sound amazing - but only if you have the educational capacity to find out what you need. The plugins won't do it for you.

Its not about how this man does it, but more about what ur vision is for the track u’re working with. And then when u found out what that is, than u ask yourself how am I gonna reach that? Than u use all the Knowledge u’ve learned from everyone, including from this man☝️😎, to *reach ur goal* Because *there are no rules when it comes to expressing urself*

Man this tutorial right here solidified my sound. I was ripping out my hair trying to find out what was wrong I prayed to God. I saw this tutorial I went to Waves and bought every plug-in mentioned here. They have a discount deal 40% off and if you get $100.00 dollars worth you get two free. I bought five discounted to$150.00 and got two free. I followed every step and I almost cried when I heard the results. Thank you Waves 🌊 this here was dope! Shid I didn’t almost cry 😭 I did 😭 😆

The vocal sounded really good before he did anything to it 🤔 .. the vocas probably been through outboard gear before even reaching the DAW so people with no out board gear or nice mic or good treated room, will have to do more to get it to sound good
