I love your(wavy Wayne’s) approach as a person/music expert, presenting yourself to the public! Pretty awesome! Thank you!

[@hiyorisarugaki1830]

Bro, you got to tell me where i can get that neon wall light 🔥

[@flajimmystikks1603]

You bro I need ya help my boi I’m putting up good number of streams and doing it with my mixed music lol but to me it dint sound as good as it does in my head . I need to reverse this I been following and learning but I’m mixing my music and that’s what I think is the problem I’m not sure so maybe you could tell me what I’m missing by listening to what I did to my mixes .

[@RampageShawty]

I’m tryna get some mixes done

[@grimistic]

i feel like a lot of people dont take advantage of youtubes content especially when it comes to mixing and engineering in general, ive watched so many great free masterclasses and your videos and I've learnt so much from the comfort of my own home, thanks for the great content!

[@waynewav]

Thanks fam!

[@Gixnly]

Which classes did you watch please let me know

[@stylenahfree4652]

@@GixnlyI got the same question

[@shydagoat3733]

you know you're a professional producer when the artists you work with appear on Wikipedia 😂😂

[@crimewavbeats5532]

Acoustically treat a closet with foam, turn your interface down to peak at about-6, record about 4 to 6 inches away from the mic ,it works wonders

[@OfficialZay31]

"And for some reason the sh!t sounds better in the bathroom than in the studio" yo I can't stop rewinding this part! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@motrumps]

How I wish your templates were available these past 10 years. I’ve wasted so much money on gears trying to achieve the sounds your templates gives me. God bless you brother keep up the good work.

[@kamikhazzi]

OMG the first half of this video is exactly why I stopped going to the studio...the engineers never have any etiquette. Constantly distracted on their phone, people coming in and out the studio, no type of feedback (I would love a shit sandwich!), no type of direction as to when they are actually recording (there's been times I did perfect takes (to me) and the engineer never pressed record- smh) it was so frustrating so I got my own equipment. Love your videos! You are the best teacher on youtube! THANK YOU

[@vihaananu1102]

Chasing the feeling is what I been seeking. Now I innerstand.

[@201jayy]

I went to school for this and Wayne has taught me more in one KZbin sitting then I learned in a month in college , thank you Wayne

[@perspective4882]

I remember this dude back when I went to a field trip back in 2017 to the college he went to, awesome guy, hella funny, hella talented!!! I told him I wanted to become a producer and write my own music and he was super encouraging and it stuck with me to this day, now I’m learning more and more through classes and people like him on KZbin on how to lay tracks down and all that jazz! Thank you bro for encouraging me bro :)

[@vinnynwv]

Ok , as a middle aged man being in studio’s and recording vocals myself , the best producers have done exactly what you said you do ! Thanks again

[@chaazmadeit6861]

When recording, definitely use closed ear headphones to reduce feedback in microphone. When Mixing however, it’s best to prevent reflection of sound, so using open back headphones will be the most effective option.

[@jayinnewyork]

What up manye!!! I obtained an audio engineering degree 9 years ago but unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to work or intern for any major/semi-major studio. I just did personal projects and a few jobs in home studios. However I went on an audio hiatus for a few years but decided to get back into it a year or so ago. Found your channel and sub'd as soon as I heard you say "Hey Manye"!!! Thanks for freshing my knowledge as well as being able to learn new things from you. ✌🏾

[@wiltaylor]

Your videos have been a life saver man. When work dried up and there was nothing to do for months I decided to learn some recording technique and every video has been helpful. Thanks so much for your time and your pro tips.

[@russpluss9569]

Hey bro. Just giving mad respect. It’s crazy how many jewels you drop… from beginner to advanced. You’re a legend man. True talk!

[@acobflp]

Personality is unmatched Wavy Wayne ftw

[@ritodanger]

WORD! Thank You! Also I love your color-filter, can spot your vids from miles! so vibrant

[@Akampton]

My hope never dies for being an artist and videos like this keep me going! Thanks for the knowledge u been sharing for us to learn from thismakes alot difference! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@jedired-i3384]

not only are the vocals crispy, but the VIDEO is crispy as well!

[@charleskapiotis1017]

Wavey, Open-back Headphones are almost critical when I record acoustic guitar. I can put the guitar signal through the headphones but I lose all the ambiance of the guitar track and my ability to control how I'm using my pick. I use Open-back Headphones for recording acoustic so I can hear my performance clearly, naturally and in real time. I don't have to record this way but if I'm going for a performance based piece this technique of recording has many advantages.

[@BIGCHUNEx]

Chasing the feeling not perfection, Roger That!!

[@jaimyyelvingtonmusic]

Great video. I like your sense of humor 👍

[@miashoota]

[@brooklynkulture]

I love this and agree with everything except shutting the baby up. Look if Amara cries, you just gonna have to let the angel 👼 bless the track !! Lmao 🤣 (I watch the family vlogs). Awesome content !

[@waynewav]

Lol. Funny because Lydia and I have a session planned today and Amara will be there. We gonna see how this goes. 😂😂

[@BIGCHUNEx]

[@behindthescreen5449]

I love your contents Wayne you are super professional

[@waynewav]

Thanks fam

[@tonygunz21]

Appreciate the content man, keep it up. One thing I can say for open back headphones though, is they can be great for mixing if you can't use monitors, or want just want a backup reference, but you're right that they're not good for tracking. If you ever get a chance to check out the Focal Clears or the Audeze LCD-X, you'll be amazed. Kinda hard to explain, but it gives you a sense of space that closed backs can't come close to. It really gives you the illusion of listening to speakers instead of headphones. You can pan something hard left and you'll legit start looking to your left thinking some shit is making a noise on the left side of your room lol, it's real trippy. Again, keep up the great work man!

Leggo!

[@hiphopmusic2470]

Very helpful thank you wavy Wayne

[@itsSHKR]

Open back headphones deff offer a way wider soundstage than closed back. TBH I would prefer open back 9/10 (ESP for mixing!), unless I'm recording to avoid the problems you state. Beardynamic DT 1990 Pro are some of the best reference headphones I've ever used. Closed back ain't even close... just my 2 cents tho, u can keep the change.. lol love tho, love the vids, no hate or anything

Digging the advice bro... I’m locking in my subscription now 😎

[@kennethochoa7550]

wow those were some great tips often technicians are so involved in the technology they forget their purpose and that is a great performance and a smile and simple respect could go a long way

Where did you go to school to learn this? Are you self-taught? You are better than my Studio Production, instructor, when I was getting my 2nd master's in Seattle Film Institute.

[@mumin1978]

I use a zoom r8 to record, because 20 years ago when I rapped I used a tascam Porta studio. I have a behringer condenser 🎤 , the vocals sound weak and low, but I rap hype so it peaks. Is there anyway I can make the vocals more strong or full

[@kenlawrence6716]

Is there a quick ProTools tip or technique (maybe show it on KZbin...) where I can re-record a portion of the verse over without doing the whole thing over again?

[@waynewav]

Yes. It’s called punching in. Search my channel for that.
