Great trick! Also try putting a compressor on the master reverb-buss with a very slow release, and find the balance between ducking at the beginning & blooming at the end.

This has been an effort of mine for a couple of years now. Advances in EQ technology have aided my attempts, in particular Eventide Split EQ. By separating transient and automating the tonality, creating 3 d features has got me rethinking everything, particularly predelay balances between two or more verbs. It's a really exciting process to be able to sign a mix with. Ymmv ✌️

Hey Doc. I went to a trade school to learn music production 30 years ago, on tape - but with enough digital so that if it ever became affordable... I had a prof who predicted the entire studio would be a hand-held device! Anyway.... I went on to an illustrious career in construction, but now my kids want to record music. Fortunately, I still remember signal path and noise floor and Q and 3 to 1 mic placement. Your videos are a goldmine. You bring me up to date with digital strategies and tactics that the old masters couldn't do even if they wanted to. E.g.: why use 5 mics on a live snare when you can use five samples. This is foundational to me and I appreciate it very much. Please keep it up!

Hey Bobalouie! Look up my videos How the Pros compress a vocal and How the pros eq a Vocal. As far as tracking any vocalist I usually use an SM7 microphone and a Neve Mic Pre. Sometimes I’ll use a 47 or a 251 on vocals instead depending on the singer. The Universal Audio Unison plugins are VERY good to cut through as well if you don’t have a great mic pre. I also never use compression when cutting vocals as you can’t undo the compression once it’s cut that way. Thanks for watching the channel!
