What are you sidechain the vocal reverb from? Doesnt seem to be the kick, is it the main vocal? Im confused because it doesnt sound like that either lol

[@hakkbostanmusic]

Nice video.

[@Pabloskrill]

Jeez 😢🔥🔥🔥

[@Hive5ive]

Luca, did you mix the backing vocals completely dry? At least in this video it seemed that way, In terms of reverb I mean.

[@rizzbod]

Studio tour pls

[@viraajsaxena2629]

Why does the Plugin in the reverb bus say Pro-Q4, but when you open it up, its just Pro-Q3 👀

[@alex95.90]

Luca, those of us who speak Spanish also want to learn, lol. Could an AI or a person interpret what you say. My English is very little. Thank you for teaching us

[@knoxhardly3082]

Does all this work with FL?

[@aryasoundau]

Love the video. Little confused though with the lead vocal track being a stereo track in the daw. I get sometimes we as mixers can receive stereo stems for everything, as it appears here, but isn't it best to render/sum individual vocal tracks (especially the lead) as a mono source, given it really is recorded as a mono source?

[@selahtube9432]

that is My question too

[@moell3798]

Keep it on a stereo track, mono is only when recording

[@MCAlvesPortugal]

One example: If you had a Adt to the mono vocal and you render in stereo, then you have a stereo vocal track. You can check the stereo information on the vocal with any a good EQ.

[@metrorockmusic]

Luca and Reid, thx for the free gems! One quick q? What is the side chain compression trigger on the reverb bus directly after the Valhalla reverb? Thanks!

[@levondarratt787]

The head nodding puppet is still in my mind...insane...

[@federicoaguilar7610]

Probably sidechaining to the dry signal of the vocal, so that the reverb is ducked a little bit when the singer is singing, and then it opens up a bit when there singer isn't singing.

[@jahstafari4606]

Luca 👍

[@engolokan9038]

nice

[@martinezdecap]

Side chain vocals to synth. I also sidechain my bass and kick. Anything else to sidechain?

[@mymixlab]

you can use sidechain to duck your vocals reverbs to the dry vocals!

[@saeedsalehi1804]

👏👏👏👏

[@lucianappleton1212]

I notice that all the vox tracks are stereo

[@pribautkidlyamalutki]

wow

[@strangejawa1374]

Would it matter if the saturation goes in front or before reverb? Also, why not use a vocal chain effect. Can you do the same thing by sending a return track pre fader?

[@Bcutter]

It would matter because neither reverb nor saturation are linear operations, which means that order matters. How much difference you would hear depends on many things, but in this specific case I think you would hear a quite obvious difference. If you put the saturation first you get natural reverb on an unnatural vocal. If you put the reverb first you get unnatural reverb on a natural vocal. The latter may be useful in more extreme cases where you want a bit more extreme sound.

what is difference between low shelf and low cut ?

[@mirkomarkovic3438]

Better phase stability with shelf

[@gianni91ct]

Luca perfavore aggiungi video in italiano o i sottotitoli

[@mca6846]

Emrah Karaduman 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[@user-cu9ic2yu8f]

Like how he did a low shelf on the vocals instead of a cut to avoid phase shifting

[@SydneyValette]

I don’t really understand the point of creating a duplicate if you re doing it prefader, why not just send the main to the reverb since you are saturating on the parallel?

[@JdMusiqueStudio]

Same question… can we get same results in Logic Pro? If I will make duplicate I have to turn on volume to send my duplicate signal to reverb bus

[@jonasfrenzel7314]

Which frequencies are you cutting/ boosting with the eq on the vocals?

[@elijahflowers-nelson1171]

Problem frequencies and frequencies that sound good

[@carhartcarl1116]

9/10 times you are either cutting or shelfing anything up to 100-180hz depending on male or female

[@carhartcarl1116]

also the mic and preamp that was used to record it is always a factor

[@domi_10_30]

@@Rck-vert Got it, thanks

[@cekirdekci32]

He duplicate but he since apply reverb 100 percent wet. And he puts zero predelay which means no way he ll phase. That duplication acts like a reverb bus my friend, the reason he does it this way later it could be easier to see it as an individual channel which can be grouped with other individuals and can be used as side chain input👍🏻cheerz.

Funny he actually uses Valhalla room, which is literally a 50$ reverb.

[@ReidStefanMusic]

A plugin’s price doesn’t reflect the sound quality. It reflects the costs of development and re-coding updates for new operating systems and DAWs etc…

[@adl0815]

@@ReidStefanMusicI didn't mean to bash the price, just wanted admire (again) that Luca uses whatever he thinks sounds best, no matter what the price is.
