I'm curious! 🤔 If you could fix one thing in your mixes by using a magic wand, what would it be?

[@sergeyn.6665]

to get a louder and fatter mix without clipping and distortion

[@ulfbernhardkrause]

Putting the different elements of a mix next to each other without loss of presence for any of them... - You asked about MAGIC 🙂

[@Salkinmusic]

The whole thing 😂

[@sergeyn.6665]

@@Salkinmusic 😅

[@stephenkennedy3020]

hahaha....my own voice not sucking. ...But no plugin, autotune or otherwise, is going to fix that.

[@milosv123344]

I've been producing from 2008 - 2012, made some decent tracks, was way more creative when I was younger ofc. Stopped after 2012 because, being an idiot, i thought no one would listen to house/trance in the future...how wrong i was (at least about house). Also was a die hard FL user but after only a month of watching your tutorials you not only hooked me on Ableton but my skills are now on a much higher level than they were before, you've filled in the gaps, the missing pieces from way back then, and I can't thank you enough for it! Started producing again thanks to you, brought some colour back into my life during these gray times.

[@ulfbernhardkrause]

Such a great video! For contemporary sounding tracks I even prefer the generated harmonies over the recorded ones - they are so much tighter and cleaner and easier to process within the overall mix. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I guess for all the producers around Your advice is more worth than mere gold...

[@stephenkennedy3020]

This is great. Thank you, and well done! For what it's worth I'll just add that I use a lot of these tricks being a solo artist. I highly recommend (in addition to your current tips) musicians try experimenting with formant changes in your vocals. Not only does this help a lot in preventing frequency competition/cancellation but also does a fantastic job in helping create a distinctly different vocal. (if you want that sort of thing)

[@EDMTips]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Experimenting with formant changes is definitely a good tip, so thank you for sharing 🙌🏻🙏🏻.

[@Nico777t]

you rock !

[@pimenz]

Will, thank you for this video, it's a gem. I've never known how to process and thicken vocals correctly. I've got a question regarding the processing. I see you've used a chain of different compressors and EQs to presumably add harmonic content to your vocal signal. Now how did you choose the chain and how exactly did you tweak it to get the final result? Using compression and eq for adding harmonic content to the signal has always been a mystery for me. Really hope to see a video on this topic.

[@guthriejenkins]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@EDMTips]

Thank you!

You're killing it. Thought this was Dua Lipa! 🔥🔥🔥

For pitch correction in FL - Newtone comes in handy... or RoVee (free wonderful Japanese plugin in real-time). Sometimes I also use vocoder for harmonies with simple sawtooth wave :)

For the last week i have been singing and whistling to myself this melody from verse, its sooo contagious :)) And today when i heard the final result i was just WOW. So i can say that this song went too far beyound vocal processing exercise! Hope Dua Lipa would check this out :)
