Sol State is by far the best KZbin channel for EDM/Pop producers. As a seasoned producer I still learn a lot with you guys! Thank you :-)

[@SolStateMusic]

Aw thanks! Cheers to being "forever a student" 🚀

Love these videos! I spend NO LESS than 4 hours a week learning. I say 4 as that is just my rule, but I spend more than that. Thanks for taking the important bits and making me learn more in faster succession!

The question about how to get the vocal volume right always makes me giggle. Not because I think that person is stupid or anything, it's a valid question, but Guy's response is so perfect - you just have to use your ears! There are some things that just take time to learn, and one of those is learning to have an ear for frequencies and volume levels. A lot of people think there are magic tricks like hitting a certain dB level on each of your tracks, and BOOM the mix will sound good - but that's not how mixing and fitting sounds together works. Sure, presence involves the volume level, but it's just as important that you're panning instruments, EQing instruments to avoid frequency build-ups or muddiness in certain areas (especially low-mids), etc. It's situational, and there may be practices that are common across your music projects, but you have to treat each song and each instrument as its own thing. This is one lesson that has become loud and clear to me as I walk into my second year of music production: learn to trust your ears - if you don't hear the vocals hitting as hard as some of your favorite tracks, then you probably need to change it!

[@jesuscoronado642]

When i started producing all i hear from pros was “just adjust your levels”, but that’s the problem, a lot of people that are initiating don’t have their ears train and probably only listen to one type of music, so they don’t have a very good reference either. I said what help me was listening to a ton of music, different genres, old, new and put my mixes in every device (car, phone, small speakers, etc). So the trick is to actually put those 10000 hours, i guess some just want the easy route.

[@insane2669]

Sol State you a god. Your videos so tight precise. Like my mixes will be after i watch your videos. (probably not, cause im dumb) PS: If you have content for explaining space in music. To have a mix so tight but at the same time so big and lush. that would be great. (or i missed it)

[@SolStateMusic]

Haha. hope your mixes turn out well. I think the big+lush thing is just learning the skill of mixing.

[@Notacet]

Love this stuff. Also do a lot of that bus fx and automation stuff. At last with logic 10.7 the automation doesn’t get stuck, and I can just go nuts with it

[@MrDravenz]

This is a dope ass community

[@KrissReeve]

Great vid! Although you are able to get that autotune sound within melodyne if you know all the functions!! Also I would recommend using a utility plugin instead of automating the vocal bus volume fader. Otherwise you can't change the vocal volume afterwards because of the automation.

[@TheCpj1976]

And this is why any producer worth his or her salt working on EDM-ish tracks needs to learn how to write scripts in something like Lua or Python with bindings to the audio system and DAW. Otherwise you’re just a silly keyboard and mouse clicker. If you’re using pitch correction, gridding your rhythms, and dumping plugins all over, there’s no excuse to not understand how to write your own plugins in C++ or audio interface drivers. The crapification of studio skills rolls on and on.

[@Statience]

@@TheCpj1976 yeah, because I want to become a fucking software engineer instead of making some actual jams. get real, pal

[@TheCpj1976]

@@Statience I’m a software engineer who also writes some “actual jams”. It also means that I don’t have to stop writing the “actual jams” when my software crashes because I can piece through a crash log instead of yowling like a cat in heat on Gearslutz or whining to the vendor. Guitar and bass players need to understand how to setup and fix their own instruments. Brass players same thing. Drummers same thing. Just because C++, DSP, etc make your fragile little head hurt doesn’t excuse your ignorance.

I see a high attack used on the choir vocals. What is the attack's effect on the groove?

[@ekim7717]

I am guessing this can be also applied to your leads correct? Or at least worth trying?

such tedious work!! these guys are fukin legends !!!!!

[@TerenceKearns]

i just picked up harmony engine. from Antares. According to them, we don’t need all those takes when trying to create a robotic messed with sound. We shall see 😂

[@SolStateMusic]

Cool plugin, but I think it sounds different than real vocal takes.

[@ArtyShat]

Any chance he is using the new M1 Max laptops already? If not, what is he waiting for?

[@conrow1157]

It’s all about the little things…

[@kaneki4403]

What's that flanger plugin?

[@SolStateMusic]

It's a stock Logic plug

[@elevatenyc]

What mic is he using?

[@SolStateMusic]

I think SM7B, solid mic!

[@000gabu000]

What he's saying about the inflator isn't technically correct, right? Since it's just a glorified waveshaper the curve slider just changes the shape of the curve, changing the type of distortion introduced to the sound

[@milestaylor4509]

Anyone know what song he references at 7:55? I can’t make out what he’s saying

[@SolStateMusic]

Lola's Theme

[@milestaylor4509]

@@SolStateMusic thank you!

[@Skrenja]

How does he not get phase issues with that many layers?

[@boxy8673]

because every take is unique with vocals

[@feelingevaporated2912]

They’re multiple takes, not duplicates of the same sound. Phase cancellation and related issues only occur with identical audio

[@Skrenja]

@@feelingevaporated2912 I still get phase issues if the takes are somewhat similar, especially if I am auto-tuning them.

[@BPatBeats]

You should have just the high voice singing for a little
