can I add your presets to an existing song? I know if I open it will open a new song. can I add it to something I've already created?

[@lachlansaint4939]

You all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@nathanaelbishop5480]

@Lachlan Saint Instablaster ;)

[@lachlansaint4939]

@Nathanael Bishop i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@lachlansaint4939]

@Nathanael Bishop it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!

[@SW-jj1sw]

that's cold ngl

[@darionjaikaran4180]

Devon, I must say thank you for these tutorials. I wanted to go to audio school, but finances said no. As a result, KZbin became my teacher. Your videos were, and, are, an indispensable resource in my growth as an audio engineer.

[@RY-it3de]

Can you do a tutorial on how you mix your doubles and ad-libs?

[@devonmgmt3926]

THIS ONE PLS

[@ABM_Elijah]

He did,search it and I'm sure you'll find it.

[@kas_theconqueror]

my go-to guy for mixing tips. Salute bro

[@rickybruckshot]

My man, you gone have anybody who watch your tutorials cold, I can hear the difference in my mix in just a weeks time. Much love bro!

[@sidharthkammili]

This song is literally goated

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Oh when this comes out it’s gonna be nuts lol shoutout to instagram.com/imgassedup

[@ridlondembeats4673]

This is probably the most helpful video I’ve seen!

[@dereckjacksondeze3756]

i never thought in a million years my mi would sound professional. man thank you

[@noahelias-guy5321]

Excellent tutorial, I really appreciate the detailed description of WHY you do every step that you include. Very insightful

[@rigogarseeyuh]

Wow. I leveled up because of this video. Thank you

[@GrigioPeru]

Week 3 on that Social Distancing ep is addictive can't stop listening to ...might need to release that as a single

[@calvinsloan4915]

Got : Boys don’t Cry on repeat. Respect!!!

[@RocketFox]

The way you explained how and why you used the three different compressors was literally so helpful. Thanks so much!!

[@AB-ht6qr]

One of the only guys on youtube who shows that with actually cool vocals 👍🏽👍🏽

[@hazardmouth]

I appreciate all the help bro you've given me a lot of really helpful techniques that I apply everytime I mix. You're the reason my vocals sounded so clear in my last record.

[@OMEGAg935]

I really needed this! a beginner on Pro Tools n its type hard to get used to 😭😭

[@cbboy1265]

Thank you for your contribution to the HipHop/Rap industry as a whole.

[@chicken5130]

The fact you actually explain what it does and how to use it

[@PandemikProductions]

'Sweeping up after a fresh cut.' - I'm stealing that

[@antomarhal]

Thanks Devvon. Always bring the gold.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Much respect Dev! I'm in the middle of doing a video about background vocals, and I came across this video. You're so smooth, right on point, and great info. I don't often comment, but I had to say Great work!

[@barrowtoussaint4842]

Yo this cleaned my mix SOOOOO GOOD its feels so smooth in the vocals I love it. Thanks again dev!!!!

[@bjclenster]

Devvon Ima say dis... Long time musician but sorta new to recording and mixing as a hobby. Just got a shizbang MacBook 14inch, brand new Apollo solo, and Logic Pro 10.7. Also Rockin a pair of Adam A5Xs. I troll the tut vids learning as much as I can and when I find good ones I save them in a folder I call "Producing", I came across your videos and some more from Wayne.wav. First thing I did was delete ALL OTHER VIDEOS in my folder. You guys are my new "teachers"... 'nuff said. Awesome job!

[@rundaemon7109]

Watched a bunch of vocal tuts. This is by far the best because you're explaining why you're doing things, not just sharing a vocal effects chain. Thanks!

[@CrackaLackTV]

Best mixing tutorial on KZbin.

[@falwinzzqx]

Ma man’s always coming through with them quality stuff mannn 😭 huge fan Devvon!! Thank you!

[@YungSchamane]

Great Video, improved my vocals alot. TY

[@50bandzent40]

You should make a melodic vocal chain for Don Toliver

[@l.atreythegeneral7457]

Sounds good my preference on this song is need little more upper midrange to make it pop in the song but it sounds good

[@TheSwordOfBathelion]

This is really good content. Definitely want to understand the mindset behind why you do what but most people just say what to do without the why

[@5ision]

Great tutorial my friend 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jaycprodz]

good stuff my guy, you should make a video on how to know when a mix is done !

[@marvin1574]

This song is awesome!

[@victorgideon320]

Thank you devvon

[@dyrtiredd4906]

Sandy so pretty! #blessings #peace #love

[@subrasive]

[@lxt3127]

[@dazegone]

GOAT Channel bro

[@TheMcPozitiv]

this video elevated my vocal mixing so much ! thanks devvon

[@vizzybeats1503]

Good stuff like always bro! Now it's time to give us the part 2 of this video showing what you do to get the final FINAL vocal!... Mix parallel comp.etc.

[@jnkvngz2965]

knowing when to say highpass or lowpass filter confuses a lot of people even the best of engineers haha glad im not the only one

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Bro it’s so annoying!! Lol

[@jkuanofficial3873]

I'm not 100% but is hp only letting the highs through and LP only letting the lows through ? lol thats how I think of it

[@likenicesinging]

This is so helpful to see after got damaged with "don't overcompress/I compress vocals one time with 0,5 GR" messages, thank you! BTW, where can I stream the song? Groove is insane jeez

[@SoundConstraints]

"i like to have an extremely slow attack time on my first compressor" The slowest attack time on 76 compressors is a staggeringly fast 1 MILLISECOND haha. Many people don't realize this great vid, although i am wondering if you have changed your workflow in the 3 years since this was posted?

[@Warroking]

Always a pleasure to learn from you! You explain and connect so many beautiful ideas, i've been leveling up my level a ton since i knew you! Thanks! We will collab some day 💎

[@chrissagalamukiibi8720]

Bro thank you for this! This is gonna take my vocal game to a whole new level 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@Anavieltheservant]

Very helpful!

[@OkMarionPark]

Amazing video! Dang why’d you stop after adding the saturation, I would’ve loved to see how you finished this! That next step seemed crucial, or am I overthinking it and could have stopped here! I mix my own music and when I get to this step I start to lose it at times, there’s like a secret sauce after this part. Is it more eq after, reason for that last DeEsser? And then mix bus compression. Would love to see how you finished this out in the next few steps. Maybe even a video mixing from scratch and telling us if you use any outboard gear. Other mixing videos don’t tell us everything which is probably the point lol this was great, I’ll have to figure out what happens after to keep the mix together. Love your mixing King.

[@asoundz7626]

Thanks for the solid tips Devvon. Lot of good information right here

[@angelocanaloficial]

hi key the song hella fire, bro.

[@CareerDropout.]

This is the most busiest processing visual I've ever seen

[@rudiemc9846]

I’ve gotta say if it wasn’t for your videos I would know half as much as I do today. You’ve helped me more than people I know 💯 there was something I was confused about on this vid thou. Did u mean to make vocals sit more back putting more attack or release?

[@LawrenceHercules]

This vid was ode helpful bro. Just gotta find your delay and reverb vids and I’m set

[@YakDiezel]

[@darrylbennett1766]

Dope video and explanation bro!!! It really helped me.

[@v2mofficial521]

my fav teacher

[@RoboMagician]

thanks devvon for the tutorial! could you do a tutorial on the steps after you add the saturn saturation plugin for the vocal? are the inserts (the nlschannel, mv2, saturn, c4, trcsm432, pro-ds), as well as the reverbs and delays sends all part of the mastering phase (because I notice its on the st master channel)? waiting for your input, thanks a lot bro! really learned a lot!!

[@jaquaghnlord2883]

Those adlibs are so lush, tutorial on adlibs like this please

[@BlueRainMusic1]

This is GOLD! Specially the "..how to get back the body of the vocal with compression..". Just one question...you said ur attack time was slow and your release fast but i see that those dials are set to fast attack and slow release...Just wondering which one it is...Not trying to be difficult, i love the vid and the info just wanted some clarification. Thank u!!

[@josephknoxjr.7724]

yo definitely appreciate your videos. question when chaining your vocals, how to avoid clipping/snapping when adding plugins to your bus and still have the same plugins in your original vocal chain?

[@Milli3]

Thank you. You're really Great for this.

[@tafarimusic7598]

Nice

[@royalinvasionproductionstv6370]

Love these tuts!! My question is what's a good target volume to aim for when mixing a two track beat and vox? Meaning the completed mix.....

[@jimmygrignon305]

Not Devvon, but pretty experienced: You're going to have a much easier time mixing beat and vox if the vox are mixed with the beat's stems. That way you can bring everything down to 0 and start building the mix from there to further ensure everything sits right. As Devvon stated in another video, it's good to bring all volumes down and only bring up the volume of your lead vocals, kick and snare. If you can find a happy middle ground for those to all sit together, you're going to have a muchhh easier time bringing up the volume of everything else so that everything sits right where you want it to. TLDR: I mightve misinterpreted your comment but if you're saying youre mixing a 2 track session that has a complete beat mix and then your vocal audio, the sad answer is the best mix is going to come only if your vocals are mixed into the beat with all of its stems. Hope this is at all helpful!

[@idane1234]

DOPE

[@JunyL]

thanks for sharing easy to understand gracias

[@crums2brikks]

The human ear is amazing. Wish animals could understand musicians

[@controking8165]

I hope you see my question!! I’m sorry I missed the Q&A. But I have a question. If I own a preamp like a 710 twin finity. When would I stop turning that tube non and turn to plugin saturation?

[@lonnlight]

I see you using that Leslie Brathwaite SSL EQ settings

[@HelpMeDevvon]

HELL YESSSSS

[@Herbsus]

i fuck with that Distorted Painting in your Background !!!
