How To Make Bright Vocals | Using Gem Dopamine & Saturn 2

My first sample pack The DRUMS Vol. 1 is out now! → www.soundsbyse...
Gem Dopamine is a highly underrated plugin! In this video, I use it to brighten up a female vocal in a pop ballad production. In just a few clicks, it takes a vocal from sounding a bit muddy to sounding super bright and clear!

Excellent video, I was able to perfectly understand the use of this plugin. thank you so much

[@Semyon_Music]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GingerRodriguez]

Just got this bad boi and wanted to learn more about it, thanks so much for making this!

[@Semyon_Music]

Enjoy the new mic! 🔥

[@user-pq9ub1py9r]

do you think it can be use in final mastering? please reply thank you

[@Semyon_Music]

Very very lightly

[@roderickmims4802]

you record vocals in your room?

[@Semyon_Music]

Yup! It's fully acoustically treated and the workflow of having the artist right beside me helps a lot

[@roderickmims4802]

@@Semyon_Music Do you use the pib or any type of reflection shield. do you have any links to the vocals your recorded?

[@Semyon_Music]

@roderickmims4802 I don’t because there is enough acoustic treatment in the room where there are basically no reflections. I just use a pop filter on the mix. Reflection shields sometimes create more problems but amplifying unwanted frequencies so it’s better to just have a treated room

[@roderickmims4802]

​@@Semyon_Music Ahh I'm asking because I have GIK acoustic panel as well and I'm having low end or boxy like effect in my room. James said it might becoming from my ceiling since I don't have much up there and I cant fit all of my panel on the corner either. Do you record right under one of your traps on the ceiling?

[@Semyon_Music]

@roderickmims4802 definitely you need lots of coverage on the ceiling. I have four 6 inch thick panels on the ceiling and that fixed my boxy low end problem. Specifically, the A note frequency was so amplified without the ceiling clouds

[@TennaOfficial]

Whose vocals are those👀

[@Semyon_Music]

👀 👀 👀

[@8BKV]

Do you think this sounds better than fresh air?

[@exhaust4246]

Yes, it's costs for a reason

[@Semyon_Music]

I think they’re both different and I use both! Sometimes on the same chain, sometimes not, depends what fits the sound better! I’d recommend getting both so you have options

[@exhaust4246]

Man try, relife by Analog Obsession its a free and probably better alternative to gem Dopamine

[@Semyon_Music]

@@exhaust4246 I'll have to check it out!

[@user-th6rh8zp3t]

wayyyy to bright bro, 😢 that hurts in my headphones

[@Semyon_Music]

It depends on the listening environment!
