WHO AM I:
I'm Streaky, a KZbinr and professional audio engineer from Henley, UK. I make videos sharing my knowledge of mixing & mastering from my 25 years of engineering. I've worked at some of the biggest studios in Europe including Metropolis Studios and here are some artists I've worked with - Ed Sheeran, Adele, Jonas Blue, Krept & Konan, Depeche Mode, Paul Weller, Skepta, Naughty Boy, Sigala & many more... I also have a weekly email newsletter that contains tips, tricks & discounts to cool stuff (www.streaky.co...)

Another way to do it is duplicating the track. And then on the second track delete everything but the word you want delayed. I find it saves time and it's easier

[@TheDougSpot]

I was just about to say that. The way he’s doing it is going to take a ridiculous amount of time and effort

[@ProfessorSaibertin]

thx

[@stillgotyourmom]

No dublicating is gonna sound metallic!

[@disciplethepoet]

@stillgotyourmom why would it sound metallic with the same source and the same delay only on a different channel. Nope

[@stillgotyourmom]

@@disciplethepoet Sure! Cause you have the same frequencies clashing also with hall and echo on its gonna make an unpropper bathtub like sound. No real producer will use the same track to copy paste. Either you take one, around 5 that you pan to the sides too or you take many many tracks that you arrange, cut and edit like for ex Drake they did it with 20 tracks or some singers that are very thin. Never duplicate a track is a rule!

[@roarbeats1008]

That bell icon coming in clutch

[@Burglecutter]

Absolutely a spot for automation. Definitely not a sidechain.

[@lalocura1828]

Side chain and automation and I also like timing the compressor for the side chain to the tempo using a "delay calculator"

[@kickilicoff]

Exactly! I made a nice calculator for BPM to ms in Excel 😂

[@MrJalfrezi]

Another streaky tip…60000/bpm/4!!!

[@Username_Invalid]

@@MrJalfreziNice!!

[@solootto]

Still falling in and out of love 🫶🏿

[@bassManDavis1953]

Yes please, make more like this, absolutely, so professional and helpful

[@pharaohonthetrack9544]

I Like the compressor trick better because u don't have to use any automation, The compressor will just throw the delays in all the gaps and duck out the effect while the lead is playing and it sounds equally to what u just did with the automation

[@TheRealJuLoso]

Facts 🔥🙌🏼

[@TheRealJuLoso]

It’s literally the same deleting the things u don’t want and then it adds the endings of what u want ✅

[@mdmn8160]

❤ from Burundi 🇧🇮. I wish I could get my songs mixed and mastered by you but I don't have financial means 😢 the least I can do is learn some tricks from you to improve my products

[@zeclomal2265]

Learn, buddy, learn! Nowadays we have all we need right here on KZbin!

[@HaftimeShow]

Great video. Ive just gotten into my producing journey and the tips are tricks you provide are very helpful

[@lequidbit9385]

U always do a great job of explaining advanced techniques Streaky!!!

[@MixingGBP]

When I want to be in total control of the delay, I'll copy the last word I want to delay for as many times I want to hear it delay (3 or 4 times), then I'll create new tracks for each of those copies and space them out to whatever sounds good, 1/4 beat apart for example or whatever. Then I'll reduce the volume of each region until it sounds like the delay I want from a plugin. There's zero percent chance of bleeding to the next phrase because it is simply copies placed in the space between phrases. I don't always do this due to the extra work, but to my ears, sometimes this is the best way to get that clarity between phrases. Yeah, I know I could get this properly from a plugin or just use one track plus automation to house my delays, but I like the visual aspect of my way.

[@iamdexter8]

Dropping 💎

[@StargateMax]

The amazing part is, this delay automation has been my own invented trick from years ago, I never learned it from anyone, it was just common sense. However, I have learned a ton of other super useful tricks from YOU.

[@LondonSteveLee]

Yep, if you can't work this stuff out on your own, you're in the wrong game!

[@Catandbeats]

aka throws with a sidechain

[@callyric9571]

i really love this man i dont know why is someone recomand you for me truly you did it you so super for me

[@firato]

the beard fits you well sir, thank you for the content I improved a lot from mix to mix song to song, thanks to the information you provided such as "making place for the vocals to fit into the beat" etc. keep it up exposing us the magic of music-engineering

[@3ab9arbeats]

what i did recently with vocals and delaying is doing an H-Delay and Duck it down with a CL-1B as the vocal plays

[@philiptownsend8348]

Didn’t realise you could automate the bus

[@J.PAUDA-Audio]

Great Stuff!!

[@crawlingman7003]

Great singing. Better than most 80’s bands.

[@CharlesLouisRosario]

[@Jupiter1423]

I get that youve built a succesul career but its still stunning to me how nice your studio is. I wish i could hear your kiis in that room like just sit back with my eyes closed and listen to rumors by fleetwood mac.

[@ItsMe-gv2ug]

Very nice tutorial. : ) 🔥

[@precisionsoundworksstudio]

Very nice...nice...nice... 🙌🏻

[@musicandmusic9796]

Nice video. You can do the same by copying the vox to another track, but it’s critical to remove the copied parts from the main track so no wave cancellation occurres. Both methods are good, it is really how one prefers to work.

[@YungSpitta615]

I maybe late but do you have a video of ,how to make vocals brighter and less muggy

[@lazyailava]

[@steveweilhart2359]

Yeah Buddy - sounds great

[@AndrewDun1]

In other words, add a delay throw. I use this a fair bit, particularly when wanting to add big delay effects at the ends of particular words or phrases

[@ForbezMedia]

Thanks this was needed

[@roelgarcia]

Very good tutorial. Thank you!

[@chadfayrobinson7537]

That's a great idea huh you got me again !

[@stephenpeacock7990]

Very interesting! Thank you so much as always for posting Streaky. Also noticed that Space Designer (reverb) is directly on the vocal channel and not on a separate aux send. Just wondered why that is?

[@WRPierre2]

[@eancurtis9333]

How did all the great records from the 80s get done ? There wasn't computers yet or this type of automation

[@francescodupre9952]

Thank you for reminding me of one of the tricks we used to use in the studios of the label I worked for many years ago. I had removed it and back then we used softwares less but hardware equipment a lot. Always a pleasure to listen to you!

[@lalocura1828]

Best channel ever

[@ProdbyCeeSick]

That’s a difficult way for me I don’t know how to use a side thing. I actually do it how the cavemen did it…dupe the main vox throw a 1/2 echo on it, zoom chop the last word slide down repeat lol🤷‍♂️hey same out come…😂😂

[@stayboystereo]

Nice! Definitely make more😊

[@matt.loupe.]

Bruh I never thought to automate the delay throws with the bus soloed and the delay bypassed

[@thisisalbe]

How is this different from just automating the delay? Serious question

[@synthzizer3324]

Or you can bounce your fx and then edit cut fade things out of the way.

[@chad_ashe_was_here]

WHAT SONG IS THIS! I want it

[@medusa_lives]

Hi Streaky, longtime fan, I absolutely love your videos! I have a question about your speakers. I too have the Kii Three BXT's and they are phenomenal but even with the BXT modules I have trouble hearing (or feeling?) the subbass accurately. How are you able to accurately monitor this region? Any tips or settings? Ty so much! :)

[@zboy2855]

Can anyone tell me what the name of this song is and if it's on the streaming services? Really dig the vibe, would love to hear the whole thing.

[@kstaffieri2000]

When you put your compressor on after the automation, did you need to adjust the settings at all on it? It looks like you just slapped it on the track, set up the side chain and it was good to go! Or did you have to set it up correctly then just edit the video to show the content faster? Love your videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!

Hello Streaky A question a bit apart of today's lesson. How do you know when several tracks are masking each other frequencies?I know audio professional can identify this problem with their ears. But, Do you have a tool to identify what frequencies are clashing, I mean masking other tracks frequencies. Thanks for your help and reply. Regards. Eric

There's a few. Izotope's Tonal Balance Control does exactly this for example
