To be honest, I love all your videos, but the original vocal is already quite good. That’s not the reality on most of our home studios. It will be good to see how you do it with a not so good vocals and then you make gold out of it. Thank you!

[@joederbyshire_]

the engineers motto is u cant polish a turd. recording is a large majority of the product and if its not a good recording its not gonna sound good mixed either

[@prodbyilldmo]

GREAT POINT +++

[@gabrielbengtson743]

A perfect 5th is actually 7 semi tones, 5 semi tones is a perfect 4th. Great video regardless!

[@sageaudio]

Thank you! My music theory needs some work haha. Thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

[@modern.day.meditations]

Could you please do a tutorial on how is this voice recorded (any comp or eq) since it starts off better than 95% of the recorded voices of the people watching this tutorial. I bet they would be happy to have their final voice as good as this initial voice.

[@yemzaaa]

True

[@AVDRE]

Make sure the recording room is treated before recording. Crap recording = crap mix

[@TheSecondC2]

Lol how bad could it sound

[@soundsdesigner]

@@yemzaaa ？

[@plain7173]

Unless you're in a studio, many of the people recording stuff won't have any EQ or Comp in the chain before the output. Best you can do is treat your room. Make sure you're gain is set so you aren't clipping, and if you get artifacts at that level you can lower it to remove those sounds. Make sure all other sounds (like fans/vents) are removed if possible. And make sure you're using your mic properly, if you're sitting 1 foot away from your mic, it'll sound a lot different from 6 inches away.

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

Amazing how subtle these changes are, and how much improvement they make. Great video!

[@merrarimusic]

Thank‘s for every single Video! I love your way of explaining that stuff and the video qualitiy is more than professional🙌🏼

[@HaohanH7BranDy]

nice video, but I think you should compare the on and off parts with the exact same instrument part. (When on, the electric bass part was also on.)

[@Genolexis]

The stock distortion is very useful. Logic Pro selection is very good

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching - yeah they have some great free plugins!

[@flaviozarza1735]

When I think I know a lot of a any process, Sage always gives me new perspectives to take into account. That's why we love Sage. Thanx for the kind & generous concepts u give us! 🤗

[@zone600mm]

Great Content . Love Your Videos. Please do a video for male vocals that were recorded badly..be it a poor mic or a poor environmnent ..Thanks

[@JonathanPropertyDubaiDXB]

Amazing tips. Especially about the order of applying the effects. Will apply. Not sure on the last one but the others for sure!

[@starsandguitars2050]

Thank you again for defining a pathway to excellence.

[@youssefsedky179]

Every time i watch your video i really benefit a new things from you thank you brother

[@lhs9776]

Thanks for the videos. I always learn something new. For your next video can show how you would process vocals from scratch, a raw recording or a vocal that wasn't record in a high class studio. Cheers

[@IMatKatI]

Ayyy excited to see this one. Gonna start soon and I really need to learn some stuff from scratch

[@Sliturgia]

Oh meu amigo, que técnica linda para chegar com um vocal belissimo, parabéns

[@JTFuller]

Yooooooooo, that what tighter den a mug man.. That's fantastic.. Thanks for this.. I am trying to understand the boxyness.. I suck with vocals.. But your channel is helping bigtime..

[@Joe-Frost]

Great video!

[@sageaudio]

Thank you!

[@supremeamp1787]

Big thanks for the tutorial !

[@tristanishtar8906]

Practical and doable. Thank you!

[@PatrickObiang]

Yeah!

[@HansTacsuan]

I appreciate every single video you put out! What would you do differently if you're mixing r&b or hip-hop vocals?

[@Genolexis]

This setup works for rap and R&B vocals as well. Just a few tweaks on the compressor and eq depending on if it’s a make or female voice

[@ixxirecords26]

Owl Gang's all here, even if some of this may be redundant for more experienced producers/artists. ✊🏼

[@lawrence8978]

Thanks for sharing. It really make use when mixing vocal!! May i request for violin and cello mixing tutorial? Thanks in advance

[@Unspokensalaton]

100k...mama we made it

[@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

Would be better if for the EQ portion, instead of playing the “EQ’d” vocal, you boost where you cut so you can show everyone what you’re looking for sound wise when you cut. Not everyone knows what to listen to in the nasal or boxy areas of vocals. Always helps to emphasize those frequencies so people understand what to listen for.

[@AVDRE]

If it helps, these terms are used alot when mixing, I try to learn the frequency areas for each terms so I know what they sound like. Harsh, nasally, boxy, boomy, muddy, punchy, crispy. Etc. Some videos are out there with examples

[@Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

@@AVDRE I know the terms. I’ve been mixing for 15 years. But the people who are likely watching this video are still learning the basics. So rather than tell them “this is where to cut”., show them WHY you cut there by boosting what you’re cutting so beginners can hear what mud, box, nasal etc sounds like.

[@johnathanbeats]

Thanks for using stock.

[@jvonnjvonn4688]

[@PatrickAdams307Music]

Right on!

[@jamieboykennedy5271]

Amazing tips!

[@zach4980]

So you applied pitch correction to the vocal before anything else?

[@MarzMunRogue]

🔥

[@danieltorreslopez6647]

All your vocals are pretty good mix..better do videos with vocals from home studios.. #reality

[@barkupatree6871]

enjoyed this video.

[@michaelwirth6843]

The last step, the pitch shifter, made it worse. Some modern mixers seem to hate naturality, I don´t know why?

[@zar047]

could you write down while you use a plugin which plugins it is?

[@deswestens]

Please release this song or link it if it's already out :)

[@WakeupwithYacob]

the recording is too fire to use as an example cmonnn

[@graju8840]

Good job

[@armannurzaman2512]

Apa ini edit di fl studio atau menggunakan software lain?

[@masonmazondwa4344]

Yo good job guys, I'm learning a lot from the tutorials bless you. Uhm.. I wanted to know do you also, like mix songs say I wanted a project fully mix and mastered how much woud that cost?

[@ganaconmigo]

BROTHER TELL ME THE NAMES THE PLUGINS USED IN THIS TUTORIAL PLEASE

[@sobhitsahu3549]

piz fl studio how to make tutorial video

[@DivineDisciple7]

Can you do how to mix female rap vocals. 🤔 🥰💯

[@JustinRomith]

Well said 8-)

[@TheSecondC2]

WHAT PLUGIN IS THIS? 3:13 Whats the name please

[@carlossolis9468]

Whats the name of that Reverb plugin ?

[@kvoofficials7043]

I dont like that you turn the plugins on when the songs energy rises. I cant tell what youve done to the vocal against the beat. Idk if what Im hearing is the energy change or is the vocals actually getting better. If you could do the video over, but play the same part twice that would be a greater fit.

[@jezz7361]

What DAW is this ?

[@Morischa12]

Logic x

[@rionvalet]

I think the title must be 'How to mix Male Vocals with Stock Plugins in Logic Pro'

[@SACHINGUNSOLA]

Hindi please

[@Itzlinking]

🙏🏿

[@ahmedebrahim5978]

First Comment 💙❤️

[@Unplugged704]

Very subtle barely noticeable, imo.

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@NickLAnderson]

Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen. ❤🙌

[@jonathanchurcher9868]

A useless tutorial. Do not play the ENTIRE BAND when trying to teach in redably subtle alterations to the voice. YOU are very familiar with the audio of the voice, but nobody else is as experienced with it as you. Think of your audience.
