Hey Joe. I'm a singer/songwriter and producer from New Zealand, and I found this video extremely helpful. I am in the middle of producing my third original song using Pro Tools, and I am still in the beginner stages of mixing audio tracks. Your tutorials are comprehensive, articulate, and honest. Thank you so much 🙂

Joes always got a great approach and easy to listen to. Believe it or not, that makes a huge difference in whether I listen to and watch a channel. There are so many that are not pleasant or interesting, or they are very self-servant in the way they speak, and it makes me leave the channel. Joe's a great teacher and that makes a big difference

I always laugh somewhere in your videos. You Nashville guys have a great sense of humour. Would love to see you, if you haven't already, team up with Joe Carrell. He cracks me up too. Though I hardly learn something new in your videos (been songwriting/mixing since the early '90s), you always make me re-evaluate my workflow. Little subtleties and nuances as to why you make a certain eq (or whatever) move, you explain it so well. All the best dude!

You just opened my eyes after 3 months of pain trying to fit vocals in my song, I didn't even know what I was doing. with your instant demonstration using your own voice to make actual sounds that represent those problematic points on eq spectrum is so simple but it's exactly what opened my eyes. And compression, turned out all this time I needed to know why I need compression at all, and you showed that perfectly too. And also using de-esser after compression, I can't believe I put attack at 1 on compressor because just one day hearing all those unwanted sounds from month an esses. My de-esser was at the beginning of the chain. And also when you boosted that low mid-mid to show that boxy sound and high mids to show nasal, it was like a thousand needles put through my head because I heard this sound all these months constantly every day, because without it my vocals kept drowning in mix, and it actually problem with other instruments that I need to solve. I have cheap monitor headphones and earbuds, the next big thing I need to buy is definitely expensive monitor headphones. I hope I didn't damage my ears and I hope I stop being so stubborn

Thank you for the video. I may try a bit of higher mid removal on a vocal I am working on now which has a similar sound as you referred to in this video. For vocal compression I use a 1176 style compressor set to 1 to 2 db of reduction, and then an LA2A style of compressor set to 6 to 7 db of reduction. Also, referencing tracks while I'm mixing is essential to me. I'm still learning, but these techniques have worked for me. Cheers.

Brother, this was excellently explained. Thank you. I really just enjoy music for the writing and don't have many aspirations beyond that, but this helped me straighten out something that's been bugging me for a long time. Do you have a similar video on adding FX? Modulators, harmonizers, overdrive, delays, reverbs, etc.?

Helpful video. I love that you use Studio One. That is my go to software. Just a quick note on guitar tone. After 45 years of playing guitar and listening to others play, I believe that 90% at least of guitar "tone" is in the fingers of the player. A good guitar player can make any decent guitar/amp combo sound awesome and vice versa.

I honestly was shocked how far people pushed compression, and it indeed made things sound better once I found it out. Without another one of your videos, I wouldn't have thought of using that strong of a compressor level. I do agree with the levels. Sometimes I hear an over-processed vocal and in the past, I thought that over-processed vocals were heavily autotuned (and they could have been). It turns out fx like compressors can make it sound autotuned as well

Fantastic information presented in a great way. But I did have a thought about compression. The compression you used seemed perfect for smoothing out the dynamic inconsistencies of a singer. But it made me wonder if that amount of compression would be too much for a style of music where vocal dynamics are a more important part of the music. (And, the singer would have to be good at performing those dynamics.)
@mkultra_vii3283
@mkultra_vii3283 2 ай бұрын
Basically, in short, no. Most of what you want out of vocal dynamics are the way it affects the tone of the sung parts in a recording much more so than the volume variance. The key is balancing the attack and release of your compressors (and using more than one to compress in chains) and you also typically want to have a parallel that’s compressed to death so you don’t have to compress your top line vocal as much, and that keeps that sounding dynamic and natural while keeping the volume consistent through the parallel.
@mkultra_vii3283
@mkultra_vii3283 2 ай бұрын
I also want to give an addendum here in that the sound of “dynamics” you hear in most modern, professional vocal recordings is how the transients in the vocal is allowed to shine through and maintain the punch of the words and phrases and is allowed to peak a bit. The attack knob will basically control that, a longer attack allows the transients to “pump” and hit a bit harder, whereas a shorter attack squashes them immediately and can contribute to that dynamically flat sound you’re talking about. Basically, if it sounds flat and overly compressed, you probably need to make your attack slower. If it sounds too all over the place volume wise or you’re clipping at consonants and other more impactful or louder sounds, you probably need a shorter attack. Final notes on this would be that I typically would go with a longer attack of around 30ms on the main top line vocal, then when I doubled it to layer in a parallel, that track would have the shortest attack possible.

3:31 once the compressor volume dies off, I can literally hear room echo. If your room is well-treated for beating down reflections, you don't have to eat the mic and get so much proximity effect. But if you do have to, then yeah you can subtract those low frequencies and eq to compensate or maybe better is to multiband compress those lows so that not only are they lowered in volume but STABILIZED just in case your face moves an inch closer or farther during singing. That was you singing? You sound like a radio DJ who should be singing bass register tunes! I also dont agree that compression is your friend. You can overcompress but then that is a thing that you'd need to have experience with. Getting a non-clipped recording with maximum volume is part of the process. Compressing/limiting is another. I would say you can run two comps, one to comp, one to limit or if your comp has limit built in, do that too. Keep attack set so you dont lose all your initial transients and use the least you can to get a clear result. Obviously, dense music like heavy metal might need more but anyway.... interesting stuff. 8:55 dayum, get that emphazeema checked out! hahahha just kidding with ya. clip that gasp out fo sho!!!!

I found this video quite delightful, it's FUN Watching someone else do this tedious task! I usually run at least 12 vocal tracks, cause to be perfectly honest with you, i can't sing worth a fucking shit on a recording. But i do have a good tonal quality to my voice. So i'll pick 1 or 2 words, then 3 or 5 words off of each track until i make it sounds like i can sing. 🙂
