Wow really like the approach and the insights from roelof. Great content,and love the tip with routing just the delayed channel into a reverb.

[@Jjsssssss]

Great video!

[@ceoleleyi]

This was really helpful

[@nikitasavcenko3666]

insane

[@michieladriaansens5977]

geniaal! hihi waarom knoeien met saturation als je er een gitaar distortion op kan klappen, lekker hoor! Ik stem voor een Roelof Extreme Metal Mixing Course!!

[@scottykomer9992]

Roelof!

[@ATWBB]

Awesome mix! Awesome explanation and a freckin' awesome song! What's the bands name?

[@ATWBB]

Reformist and Changing Tides. Got it. :D

[@suspouce]

I hear a lot of low rumbles/bass content in the voices, I don't see you using highpass on them. Don't you think it might conflict with other elements in the mix? :)

[@newrockorder]

Very good demonstration! What would you do about plosive k or g sounds? All the best!

[@RoelofKlop]

Volume automation probably. It's pretty rare that these sounds are problematic

[@JimVengeanceStudio]

is this reuploaded? im watching this video just now but suddenly not available

[@Garavito911]

"Decapitation!!!" "Great!"

[@HappyPurpleNoob]

Are the tracks recorded dry at 100% ? Or is there any pre stuff to them?

[@RoelofKlop]

100% dry, sm7b straight into an interface

[@therealcleany]

Lekker Roelof. Voor mij heb je 10 kanalen nodig denk ik, haha....

[@MatthijsvandenHoven]

❤

[@stephenkain6603]

Do you eq low gutturals different from shrill black metal vox and if in same song should you bus them different?

[@RoelofKlop]

Sometimes I crank up that midrange boost more on the higher vocals

[@hagis23]

Is there a reason why not put the chain in buses?

[@hagis23]

The faders! They are at different levels, so compressors at buses wouldn't work properly.

[@PapiDeLonge]

aah finnaly

[@michaelrauch3285]

"If that makes sense" drinking game 😅

[@RoelofKlop]

That made me laugh haha!

[@jimbotski]

Yeah, I like Changing Tides.

[@coversbvk]

I like you too

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

How to do a Finnish vocal mix........ First of all,- don´t be Swedish.

[@Дмитрий_Асанов-Бессонов]

Главная проблема в том чтобы делать примеры сведения вокала на таких типах вокала это то что вокал был ужасным как до сведения так и после нифига непонятно разницы. Один динамический уровень всю песню

[@MickeyKriese]

Saying the vocals are terrible is pretty subjective. I think that Imagine Dragons are shit, but that doesn't mean they don't sell a shit ton of records.

[@nikitasavcenko3666]

Так это условности жанра. В некоторой электронной музыки, ваще полотно с непонятными пространствами, где вокал выполняет роль инструмента, где не важна смысловая нагрузка и вокальные тривиальные приемы ( почему нет ) Так и в этом случае, тут важен тембр и энергия, никакого динамического диапазона нет, так это и не академический вокал, да и даже не эстрадный. Повторяю; важен тембр и ритм, который должен гармонично переплестись с инструменталом в этом месиве с карданом. Видео очень полезное.

[@Дмитрий_Асанов-Бессонов]

@@nikitasavcenko3666 ну блин даже у rhythm guitar перегруженных есть вариации уровня динамики . можно тише играть можно громче играть. В разные ноты. Разными интервалами. А при этом поверху голос дерёт одно и то же. Я раньше всегда думал что гитары жёстко компрессия для создания одной колбасы. Но я ошибался. Когда начал сам звукорежиссёрствовать, понял что у rhythm guitar вообще-то богатый потенциал. У голоса Честера беннингтона богатый потенциал. Когда расщепление достигается то ложными связками то не ложными разным уровнем смыкания. Добавлением вторых суб тонов, убавлением. Но верещать в одну ноту на одном уровне всю дорогу и ещё когда эта нота вообще не попадает в основную тональность аранжировки это п***** а не жанр. Не динамики ни хира ничего. С таким же успехом вокалиста можно дрелью заменить
