Use Parallel Compression to Make Your Vocals Stand | Cubase Secrets with Dom

[@OriginalRaveParty]

The pre fader tip was gold. Top class education.

[@Glenn-DSouza]

Thankyou Dom, I would not have understood 'Parallel compression' without this tutorial.

[@derhova]

"little bit of compression to pop vocals" is an understatement

[@EmmoKhan]

The pre post fader saved my life. thx :D

[@combs08]

I rarely leave comments but wow, what a detailed yet simple explanation of parallel compression. I have been wanting to incorporate it into my own mixes bit it seemed a bit daunting. I feel super confident about apply to my own workflow now. Thank you, Dom. You're the best.

Meister der Tontechnik und ZAUBERER in Cubasis , danke!

[@arturofornasari]

Hi Dom, very interesting but maybe I’m missing a passage: how many compressors are you usin’ at the end in the send channel? I see the tube one in the insert channel but in the send it seems you have three faders opened… 🤔 Thank you for answering, if you can…

[@grantmoon689]

Incredibly useful - parallel compression's what I've been missing! Thank you!

[@-Deena.]

I never stop learning from you Dom 🧡 Awesome

[@jmendresoh]

Dom, want to add my THANKS to the sea of 'em you've gotten for this video. Applied || compression today on a vocal I'm finalizing, and now it sits perfectly in the mix. Awesome!

[@florianbeguin]

Thanks Dom !

[@Siddharth_Dixit]

Thank You Dom 🤩

[@WerIstWieJesus]

I like this because it lets the vocals the most natural as possible.

[@ShonnMorris]

You have me opening up and checking mixes I long finished just to see if they could use this. Your tutorials are valuable beyond words.

[@delsurmusic]

One of my favorites videos ! Thanks Dom!!

[@aniketpatil2143]

Dome! You are our GURU!

[@Blyfuz]

I'm so grateful for your videos. Thank you so much.

[@stevebanham4475]

Clearest explanation of parallel compression I've heard...this video made the penny drop..many thanks

[@ivanvenot]

Great!

[@SweetSoundStudio]

For many years I've been using similar techniques on my Cubase mixes, but this video really nails it. Dom, this tutorial is brilliant and really helps explaining step by step how to use compression wisely :)

[@DUBCEAST49]

I did this on some of my tracks I engineered while ago and I never used parallel compression and a friend of mine who is a producer told me about that type of compression and man let me tell ya!!!!! This is golden!

[@RahulKumar-jt5py]

Thanks Dom 👍

[@rob3942]

Excellent. Thanks Dom. Just Excellent

[@mickapolooza219]

Thanks Dom this is what I've been looking for in my vocal mix.

[@jromasterofone]

[@papitoredmusic2]

Keep up the great work.

[@javierpenya]

Great Dom. Perfectly and clearly explained. Thanks a lot.

[@apfelmeerschweinchen58]

Thanks a lot Bro!! Amazing tutorials‼️🙏🏾

[@TrungKuOfficial]

thank you so muchhh❤

[@acewonda2812]

Great stuff as always Dom! I'm revisiting this and correct me if I'm wrong, this works best if processing one track or source. Because your using the fader directly on the pcomp effects channel, anything you route to that bus as a send will be impacted by the vertical faders movement. You'd need to setup another send to pcomp the chorus unless you wanted the exact same settings and intensity you have for the lead vocal.

[@ArieOrr44]

this is the answer to the question on the much later video on the paralel compression guide

[@stevemaitland5090]

Huge! Thanks, steve

[@anantwashere]

BRILLIANT TIPS.

I am coming back to all your videos, just as if it was a course, and I hope I have not thanked you before or I will look like spamming the videos. To be safe though, thank you "file mou", you are the Alpha & Omega of Cubase.

[@t.l.i.d5635]

It really good advice, We׳re also love to used in OTT Plugin on vocals it׳s makes the vocal more bright and makes a good sound.

[@sisterssrividhyasudha]

Hey Dom.. Im so glad I started following your channel. I cant put it in words how you have made Cubase so easy for millions of people out there .. great work.. and thanks a ton😊😊

[@MohndiOfficial]

This is great tbh. Thank you for making this video.

[@TFApocalypse]

¡¡ amazing !! thank you so much

[@RuneVestb]

Great!! Thanks Dom 🤘🏻

[@grahamwitcher105]

Hi Dom. Steinberg Vintage Compressor and Tube Compressors...just the best. Who needs external plug ins or racks when you have these two fantastic pieces of kit already included in Cubase? Great video too. Cheers.

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Thanks for a great explanation!

[@Mrprodbyjoey]

thanks

[@Griuofficial]

Thanks for a great tips Dom!🤝🔊🔥

[@Frank.Zimmermann]

Thank you Dom, that's a very cool technique. I will use it in my current mix. Until now I didn't think of using automation on the parallel channel and on top of that to combine everything again in a group channel with a finishing compressor. Very cool! :)

[@19Stride]

Aweomae videos buddy! How do you use your streamdeck? Together with Soundflow?

[@deeperthanhouse]

Hey Dom, how do we stop the vocal from sounding phased/duplicated/layered? Am I doing something wrong?

[@jeffschwisow]

Automation and excitation on the parallel compression FX channel...who knew?! Simple genius! 🤜💥🤛

[@HollandTeye]

Hello Dom, just a short one please; what device do you use for your automation and how do you set it up please

[@hamedalamy3267]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no comment segala the best ever.

[@ramseysounds2086]

So simple but so effective 👍

[@tolgatokoglu]

Amazinggggg

[@Kleisinger1]

Thank you for this video. Great. Can you tell me, which delay you have used?

[@andytullis8736]

A great explanation of parallel compression. I just started to experiment with it this week on drums. I'm guessing I should be using the send as a pre send as well? Thanks Dom!

[@danaparsons854]

GREAT

[@antonigalon]

A/B comparison is required to check whether the contribution from the parallel compression is really helping the mix rather than just adding level. How to do it?

[@Tjmusic-Trg]

Can you please make a video on how to record the perfect vocal?

[@dcdrita1]

Great Video, Regards. I have a question - If I want to send a group channel to four different channels in parralel, I mean the single group channel's signal will pass through four different channels at a time which I mean Parralel. Thank you.

[@Audioknap_rus]

Thanks so much!

[@eskytube]

Great video! It really isn't that important, but the word "out" is missing in the title. You sort of get obsessed with details in this line of work. Looking forward to more instructional content. Thanks!

[@jespersorensenyork]

Super :-) will defo try this

[@goethmusic]

There was also delay in the effects channel

[@dagga07]

Hi Dom i have a question with the final compressor you added to he vocal group. i noticed it was still in the dry position as you was moving the threshold, should it be in the mix position or did you leave it in dry for a reason?

[@mcsweet1966]

Hello Dom, What would be the difference beween using send in Pre fader VS Direct routing Summing Mode ?

[@nasdaq1966]

Hi, could you help me here? I like your stuff. When I import an Audio-File (MP3) into Cubase it changes it automatically in "mono" at least it really sounds like mono, but with 2 tracks, do you know this problem.

[@MastaGOfficial]

Is the audio still stereo but sound mono? If it sounds like mono, check the Control Room on the right corner is it set to mono or stereo.

[@kMaxRx]

3:32 "We're going to send a copy of this vocal to an effects channel as a send effect." Track Name: =Vox - Send Gain (8:00) - sent as pre fader instead of post fader... I have no idea how he is sending the copy of the vocal to the effects channel as a send effect. I read it as he's sending a copy of the vocal as a pre-fader send into the parallel compressor send. I see the =Vox track under FX channels in Cubase, I see it as a send in the channel settings, I don't see how he's sending the audio to the FX channel. What am I missing?

[@mozizo11]

thanks great tutorial Dom and steinberg. for the send FX,s (reverb,delay etc) would be prefered to have them on the "all vox" group channel sends or on the "dry" vox channel ?

[@bondpeace]

My question too

[@mozizo11]

@@bondpeace for me i would have the send FX on the Group Channel, so if i change or automate the volume level as a sum from the group channel the Send fx stay in relative balance to the dry audio.' and also all tracks routed to it (the parallel the dry etc) will get the same send FX level

[@nikibuz1]

well no comments!!!! master !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrMediterrano]

Is there a way to setup side chain compression in a way that it ducks only the frequencies which collide with the frequencies in the control signal?

[@herrderlage6180]

ôld but gold

[@LokeyeMC]

Does release time matter in parallel comprehension for vocals? I've seen others say to set it to the longest time possible. But the more I think about it, it seems the outcome would be identical with short and fast release times.
