"I've found that if you find yourself needing like tons and tons of EQ on it you might not just be using enough compression" This is some of the best, most stress reducing bit of advice I've heard in a while. It rings out in my head when I feel myself EQing a vocal in circles trying to make it fit.

I know this is an old one, so maybe you don't see this comment haha buuuuttt you should totally do a video about tape head. As in, everything you use it for, and what it really does for the mix. I've seen a ton of conflicting info, and as usual, you're the only person in the world of production that seems to just get straight to the point and always deliver solid gold advice. (Which is why if there were anyone I'd sign up with, it'd be you.) Too yeah a tape head video, about using it on drums and vocals and maybe why you don't just use it on every single track for a full analog feel. Which tracks/instruments its good for and why. I recently just got J37 from waves on a he discount, and I want to make the best out of it. P.s. you could probably take explaining plug ins pretty far. It's a HUGE part (maybe the biggest part) about learning mixing, plug ins are our new version of all the hardware gear that makes a studio a "studio." Seeing how you now own a plug in company, that make you a big authority, on the subject, and I think if you were to do more videos on not just your own but everyones plug ins, you could become the biggest authority on the subject. If you think about it, every mix tutorial is essentially a plug in demonstration/explanation. You're already THE dude for this (in my opinion) but if you made maybe like a series or something dedicated to plugins, (the types, the models, the variances, the in depth "secret" features) I think you'd become one of the biggest names out here. Just a thought... Thanks for everything you do! I've been here a very long time, and don't plan on leaving any time soon haha

Thanks man. I don't use Tapehead as much as I used to, but sometimes it's the perfect solution. Great on kick, harsh guitars, sometimes snare, sometimes vocals.... it smooths out the high end and adds fullness to the low/low mids. Not many people have Tapehead though, so it probably wouldn't be a popular video haha.

Great video! Inwasnin a rut for a few days with my normal method just not doing it for some shouting/screaming moments in a song I was working on. I went about this method, being objective to the source material, and they came out phenomenally. I found it handy to put a limiter (L1 in my case) prior to initial Compression and EQ as well. Very simple, but very good technique.

He's not adding any dynamics with the 1176, he's actually compressing it more, which emphasises the transients by lifting up the quieter passages before the words.

Is there any way to elegantly get rid of these little 'hiccups' in the vocals (like in the "fails me now"-part)? They seem to come from the false-chord vocal technique due to the pressure the singer applies. I'm currently mixing some vocals tracks, where these hiccups are rather prominent and compression of course makes them even more audible. Trying to EQ them out seems like a bad approach since there all over the frequency-spectrum and applying loads of EQ pretty much neuters the vocal sound. Any help would be appreciated! :-)
