The Weeknd's EPIC $10,000 Vocal Chain | Best Vocal Chain

[@archiebeatz]

Thank you all for watching. The Weeknd Vocal Chain is by far the most simple hardware outboard vocal chain I've seen thus far. Crazy right!

[@Channel464Network]

This my last request I already subbed due to the fact that you covered my personal favorite artist of this and the next coming of decades Would you happen to have sonder(Brent faiyaz) but the actual sonder projects sound his brent stuff is more pop/bars type

[@johnsuggs7828]

153 Tracks in Cubase? His computer must have like 32 cores and 128gb or high speed ram. Jacob Collier does this but with 358 tracks in Pro tools

[@irongangmusic8590]

can you do Dave East

[@CaldoHits]

Illangelo used to use Cubase but he has since moved to Ableton. After Hours was recorded and mixed in Ableton as well.

[@eyeque7]

Ableton is shit for recording

[@user-iz1ii1xd6n]

The Weeknd would sound great through any microphone and pre amp. Performance triumphs any expensive gear.

[@johnsuggs7828]

It all starts there

[@KeyWAV]

Bro that Townsend is actually crazy! It's weird you have to record vocals in stereo, but the results are just fire. Excited to hear your thoughts on it! Love these vocal chain videos man. I'd love to see Lecraes vocal chain next! Or anyone from 116 really

[@alextorchio5625]

Bro, I have the Sphere, is fantastic. I use the emulation of the c12 or the u47 through the UAD Manaley vox box or the Avalon 737 in unison and the result is dope.

[@poppasmoke4933]

@@alextorchio5625fire I use the U87 or the c800g into the Neve 1073 into the CL1B. The 251 is pretty fire too

[@johnsuggs7828]

I always tell people there's ways to get pro sounding vocals for not a lot of money. 1. Good vocalist - The first thing you have to start with is a vocalist who can actually vocalize/sing....well. 2. flat mic - You want a mic that flat across the middle for voice. The upper and lower freq. are outside the range of most voices. Unless you're singing in basso-profundo, which most humans can't physically do. You also want your mic to be as silent as possible. Low self noise. Any mic that can handle 120db is fine for vocals. From there it's a matter of compression, EQ and what ever sound effects. You can do all of this and well for 1000-1500. The interfaces all record the same to the computer. What's different in them is the pre-amp quality and coloring of the sound before. But once all that is done, the computer record all interfaces the same. You can get a good focusrite for 200, warm audio 47-jr and some effect plug-ins.

[@georgedaluz7172]

My G, this video is exactly what I was looking for. You're the realest!

[@bw2937]

Fun Fact: 'Can't Feel My Face' was recorded with an SM7B

[@Skrenja]

Was it an SM7B or SM7? There's a pretty big difference.

[@WONANDONESPORTS]

@@Skrenja sm7b

[@deptb]

The v67 is half-price in England. I wasn't expecting that.

[@issamenu5en5e29]

do eazy macs vocal chain, i wanna know what hes using to drop his pitch and bring it back up in real time

[@ari333prod]

i dont listen to eazy mac but it sounds like he might be using pitchwheel or something of the sort

[@NiniRockX]

In the end, it's his voice and the music that counts. I would even listen to him without all the stuff

[@WONANDONESPORTS]

No you wouldn't

[@WONANDONESPORTS]

doubt it

[@tristanrenaud947]

Now he only uses an SM7b for a microphone. After Hours (his biggest album) was SM7B - Apollo - Laptop. I recommend people watching Carlo’s (illangelo) Mix With the Masters where he breaks down the tracks of 2 songs from that album and runs through every plug-in and setting in Abel’s voice. 🫡🫡

[@bw2937]

Can't Feel My Face was also an SM7B

[@Mike-vr7mb]

Mines about $12,000 now but man I done been through the craziest setups 😭

[@takeiteasy2476]

Now he using mostly sm7b + Apollo on a few last albums

[@rtdrec]

i've heard it was the t.bone sc450

[@LaSaint.X]

A seddy Hendrix vocal chain would be cool to see

[@famusaaa]

HER VOCAL CHAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Bashanvibe]

I live by it’s not about the equipment but the knowledge you have of the equipment!!! Can you maximize what you have and make it a big deal? I’ve sold tracks from only using Roland Fantom G6 back when it first came out!!! That was my only source of making music I didn’t have a lab like I do now!!!

[@boyfifty]

So dope

[@archiebeatz]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@birminghamstudios8113]

Interesting info . Thanks for doing the video. Just one comment. While I do agree that Elam 251 is in your face type of mic. I wouldn’t apply same to u67 . It’s completely different and what ever it is , it’s definitely not in your face type off sound . Its more like laidback type of sound . Some people would call it warm and some would call it muddy depending on taste . It’s definitely more pronounced on lower mid frequencies..

[@roccitysoundllc3404]

That isn't the main mic that he used btw. He actually used a smb7 believe it or not

[@RobertMatlock]

Kind of confusing to me if this is supposed to be a "secret sauce" type video. I really wouldn't describe this as "his" vocal chain without settings. This is a plugin stack that's on basically every pop artist these days, it's not really unique to The Weeknd. It's also worth mentioning, his chain (mic, pre, plugins etc.) changes every album, sometimes every song, and this is from Dec. 2015.

[@alphasupreme7167]

I'm owing a u87 is it worth upgrading to the u67?

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

But what plugins were used on the Apollo? What unison pre?

[@liz369]

Hi Guys, where can I find the article about that vocal chain?

[@LuisHernandez-dy1rq]

[@AbhayRajan]

[@straighttrippingmusic]

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

[@purposedriventv]

Can we get a J.Cole, Eminem, & 50Cent vocal chain?

[@LesVegasMusic]

Hey Archie B. What site are you getting this info from? Can you reply with the link to the page featured in the video? Thanks!

[@ThisIsVersatile]

[@wardenclyffeentertainment9802]

[@alexandre7634]

I think he uses Ableton now

[@archiebeatz]

Yes, possibly. These things changes up over the years from time to time. Thanks for commenting bro

[@Anonymous-dh4fl]

There is nos singular Daw that he uses , one of his many of his producers/mix engineers Illangelo, used cubase but because he started on it and has been using for so long that he knows the ins and out, but he seems to be playing with Ableton quite a bit now, the records he produced/mixed on after hours "alone again", "after hours", And even "Too late" where made and mixed in Ableton. Now Serban ghenea The greatest pop mixer in the world today has mixed the weeknds biggest hits like starboy. Ariana grandes biggest hits and the list goes one and he uses pro Tools.
