Why do you put the real adt before your last compressor? Also, I noticed in your other videos you put the FF Saturn last in your chain, so what’s the difference?

[@eLLBdotmusic]

This was helpful but I need to watch another video. LOL Seriously, I think I got it but will have to find free plug-ins or use what comes with logic pro x. I'm a beginner and until I "master" my program, I do not plan to purchase plug-ins. Thank you for this video. EXTREMELY helpful with stepping my production up. Grace & Blessings

Facts bro

[@MuscleEire]

Can we take a second to appreciate how valuable this information is, and all for free. THANK YOU DEVVON

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Shane McDonald Music no problem!!

[@Kelvinapplegate]

For real I have decided to make him my main source for stepping up my mixing game. I appreciate the fact that he just gets to the point without adding any unneeded swag. Lol. 😂😭🤣. Save that for the songs. Wonder if he does voice lessons as well.

[@Emmeno]

I"m not even capping, after i watch other tutorial, i ALWAYS come back to Devvon's. He's the GrandMaster.

[@US3Rofficial]

"control an already controlled vocal" - it took me a few years to figure this out. on point

[@yeahthatsyani]

Your raw vocals are so clear and crisp before you even do anything 😭

[@Ммо-и9ю]

@Piddy Pay adn he is using a pretty good neumann

[@officialWWM]

That is the key to everything!

[@officialWWM]

Piddy Pay no, it's because of a great performance!

[@jaeindiigo]

He knows how to sing and is trained but his gear takes it to the next level

[@محمدجبنه-ت2ب]

😭😭

[@spicyboyzshow]

You are legitimately a better teacher than any of my instructors at the recording school I went to. I've retained a significant amount more information on mixing vocals from your videos than I did in school. Thank you sir!

[@marchesaschroeder3294]

I have binge-watched like 6 of your videos and.. I mean this in every sense of the phrase: you are the man. So talented, so passionate, so well-spoken, so so so knowledgable. And man, I appreciate you! I also really appreciate that there isn't any shtick with any of your videos. Straight to the point, easy to listen to, the songs and vocals that you are editing are always fireeee, and just pure talent. Good shit. Keep it up. I am literally just starting to learn about this stuff, downloaded pro tools yesterday so I'm nowhere near anyone who knows anything, and pretty much all of the audio on anything I've recorded myself is a complete mess haha but these videos have been hugely helpful.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Marchesa Schroeder no problem I’m so glad to hear that!!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Very much appreciated!!

[@nopebih]

Okay but THIS SONG THOUGH!!!!!! Just a beast for no reason!

[@dene3524]

I was struggling with my bgv on a particular song and used this! helped a lot in my mix. Thank you so much!!

[@CoupleZee]

You've got a nice voice Devvon, I am not even considering that Autotune plugin is active, I know that you can sing. Big respect!

[@Sarav]

This guy really changed my mixing game! Damn. why didn't I find this channel last year

[@edwinrodrigues3772]

God bless you abundantly Devvon! You are absolutely amazing and more importantly magnanimous in sharing your trade secrets. It speaks volumes about your selflessness!!!

[@BatuleDJ]

Man am a Music Producer from Cuba. I gotta say your Tutorials help me out A LOT!!! I wanna really thank U 4 all this amazing knowledge U R sharing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@miguelfranco9655]

Devon, thank you for being you Fam. Lots of gems here and great insight on compression and the importance of eq in a practical way. Great examples

[@jovybz987]

This was very informative! Thank you

[@KiaOrion]

Devvon you be KILLIN it with these tutorials. i think i owe full sail a check because you really taught me everything about engineering frfr

[@TeezoTarantino]

This tutorial helped my doubles sound better Thank You🙏🏾

[@jbawsa]

this has to be one the best YT channels for mix engineers. We appreciate you Devvon! 👍🏽

[@cllewellyn]

Sir... SSIIIRRRRRR.... just wow, you've changed my whole mixing mindset, thank you so much... real talk you're that guy...

[@artemyeden]

very good tutorial and technics! i used to think that i'm good with backing vox to mix, but your precise workflow with every little subtleties make me to change my mind and learn something cool! thank you for this!

[@RicardoLambert]

YOUR BACKGROUND VOCALS BRO😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 It helps that you can sing too lol. GEEEEEEEZ, I GOT A LOT TO LEARN HELP ME LORD

[@SvperSlickX]

F6 is an amazing dynamic eq i highly recommend it because unlike other dynamic eqs it uses very low cpu power, Keep it up devvon ur tuts are Amazing

[@SvperSlickX]

Btw the black cla 76 gives more presence in the vocal than body, the blue one is for body but got body from the black which i think killed u 2 birds with one stone bc when u compress a vocal u bring some of the body of vocal out n using a black 76 u brought out the body of the vocal plus giving it a presence with the actual compressor...i think this was a little confusing like when u explain something Tho i think u better a lil bit LOL anyways great tutorial

[@DAFFONEOfficial]

I'm following you from Romania, super strong ... you do an extraordinary job

[@FearFox]

Perfect timing! working a track and really needed this!! Thanks for all the useful information in this video, it really helped me, and gave me so much more knowledge that I never knew I needed! Stay safe and healthy during these rough times Devvon! ❤️

Wow!! Very informative man. The logic behind the process makes sense. My computer couldn't handle all the processing power lol.

[@jacebeats5511]

Yet another great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@kaiusmusic]

this video was perfect bro, you dropped so many gems and with each new vid everything is just becoming that much more understandable!!

[@TheRevivngGamer]

THAT SONG IS CRAZY THO HOLY

[@maxreaper25]

Real talent

[@EqDior]

Great tutorial. You're a great teacher that makes it for a lot of peeps to understand. even knowing this stuff already I find myself intrigued. Only nit pick I have is doing the narrow boosts to find bad frequency. Honestly that will make most frequencies sound bad. Its safer to do a negative sweep and listen to see if it clears up that bad area or not.

[@otjinate423]

Thanks man you're awesome I like the way you demonstrate things..

[@kayenemtv]

Yo that track is crazy 🔥

[@curtisfullard3792]

Yes indeed this is one of the best vids on background vocals I've watched. Thank you for your time and professionalism I have subscribed .

[@straighttrippingmusic]

Dope.. any video where you show yourself recording backgrounds? How many backgrounds do you do?.. looks like 4 mains.. and 2 harmonies? Can we do this without the reel adt plugin?.. thanks for sharing! I'm going to watch some more vids. :)

[@МаксПоллуксов]

Nobody: Absolutly nobody: Devvon: "Stay with me, listen closely" P.S u r the best broski From Russia with a big love

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! I really appreciate your deliberate decision making process in how you address problems in the mix. You demonstrate a clear understanding of you craft and also the ability to teach with that same clarity. Awesome !!

[@bansheeboyeddie350]

This was an AWESOME tutorial! I appreciate that Devvon!

[@whoswyatt]

Your voice is fire bro

[@waddupnvck]

I take out a lot of the "boxy" frequency from my main vocal. My voice seems more present in that range. Plus, my room doesnt have the best treatment. But I make it work 👍👍

[@aleonator2831]

YES FINALLY. best tutorials on youtube i swear

[@f8accompli238]

Bruh! Very, very, very helpful tutorial. You confirmed some things I already suspected but shined light on a lot of areas I was in the dark on. On a side note, that track is 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏿

[@jabulanimahlangu6863]

true this is one of the best technique ever

[@antjuancarter6253]

Hey Devvon. Great lesson. Can you please do a tutorial on background vocal blends, as far as where should they be sitting so its not over powering the lead vox. I seem to struggle with that the most. Some tips and demostrations would be helpful. Thanks God bless.

[@Leroy_allen]

This was an AWESOME tutorial! I appreciate that Devvon!!! And i really would like to see more of your signal Chain (your groups, BUSes etc...)

Great tutorial . The way I do the compression with aud unison technology with the console all. This way you can compress before going into the daw

[@maxreaper25]

If you compress first thing in the daw , it doesn’t matter

[@kebush30]

Globin well you have the benefit of recording the compression with zero latency
