How To Sit Vocals In A Mix w/ Ganesh Singaram (FFL!)

[@matrixate]

This is probably one of the best sessions from Spring2015-Spring16 I've seen. Keep up the good work and please keep these sessions coming. Realize...we will pay it forward. The more that pay it forward, the higher the chance it will return directly to you. Something to motivate you guys to keep doing more of these mix sessions.

Today at 1pm GMT we're looking at how to sit vocals in a mix with Ganesh Singaram! #FFL

[@jacknikolson7480]

Point Blank Music School Still missing that blond guy who was working for you guys..Such a great person,and he always knew what to ask and he was making great interviews..What happened to him?

[@thatboypoonkyt]

This is one of the best mix videos I've seen on KZbin. Tons of great advice

[@fojeba]

At last a good tutorial that is not trying to sell plugins ...Thank you very much

[@TimmyTimmyUF]

Thank you both for an amazing segment. Ganesh delivers so many tips enhanced with the great depth of his experience and knowledge.

[@pointblankmusicschool]

TimmyTimmyUF Ganesh! Ganesh! Ganesh!

[@thatboypoonkyt]

My favorite thing about this is that he uses all stock plug-ins, just goes to show you that you don't need crazy expensive software to get your mix to sound crisp

[@eafortson]

Incredible video. The video is long, but every moment if concise and filled with very specific easy to understand, and logical steps. The explanation of the workflow was the most helpful to me. Well done. Thanks yet again PB.

[@Morenob1]

What I find handy is to record the Dsser and Noisegate directly into the mic vocal so you don't need to use too much plugins at the same time, because you will have a hard time with 8GB ram and cpu overload.

[@ninjafukwan7]

AWESOME VIDEO...Ganesh Singaram is a very good instructor and Sarah is a breath of fresh air to hear and look and look at.

[@gabebabe1]

Great session - I learned a ton - very interesting how you ride fx to bring out words, open up the sound as it builds to climax etc

[@RobertUWL]

absolutley awesome - learned a lot !! love friday forums - thanks !

its nice to see him using native plugins of logic ;D

[@victorcoyenn]

This was golden, thank you guys very much! Cheers from Ukraine!

[@roanmccormick4036]

Great stuff Ganesh! Thanks for the insight into your art.

[@kishorilalkishoreda5719]

Yes it’s very important not to be too close to the mic because mics doesn’t have a meter to show you if you’re overloading it or not

[@IIMANIXII]

I still cant find the download Ganesh link :) .. love this guys approach.... Great stuff

[@MrBermo1406]

I know mixing is total preference and subjective but I feel an advanced technique which I got from a wise engineer was with vocals to add a little shelf at the high end instead of cutting it out like what most people to do to add 'air' again just preference but instead of cutting from 18k+ try a little shelf boost and see what you come out with :)

[@amp3x]

Hello, thank you very much for this great video.

[@philsideorchestra]

Thank you for this.I learned a lot.Awesome

[@roygertel]

:Question using the same methodology in Cubase U used here busses in the process- in Cubase it is equal of using send effects ? So I load the plugins U showed here as send effects in Cubase ?

[@soxxy8588]

Brilliant video, though id love to know what is on bus 7-8

[@UNLIMITEDARTISTRY]

Can anyone find an updated list of his credits? I'm really interested

[@dayboyy24]

I dont understand why he turned the vocals back down when he started doing the parallel processing.... kind of made it harder to hear the changes in context. Also, why is he only compressing like 1db on the parallel vocal chain?? I thought it was supposed to be heavier compression with stuff like that

[@mparkerdrums]

Ok so one thing i'm curious of is; obviously when your sending a signal to an fx bus how much you send it by is relative to the volume of your original signal (in this case the vocal). So before any processing/effects do you set your volume fader of the vocal to where you can hear it nicely in comparison with the rest of the song? then start the process of mixing it.

[@tomlebeau7921]

+Mitchell Parker yes! but a vocal typically will be very dynamic and get lost sometimes, but go for a ball park level then compress.

[@dkkentertainment]

picked up a lot of info from this tyvm :)

[@JustKennedyOk]

Can you guys please start recording the actual audio from the projects in these FFLs. It's hard to hear what people are doing with just the camera/room mics.

[@pointblankmusicschool]

JustKennedyOk The direct feed from the DAW is being broadcast. Sometimes there is spill from the room speakers, but the feed is there!

[@sathiamoorthy9529]

[@osten_petersson]

[@boi_wander]

The Audio is ahead of the video by about 2 -3 frames guys :/

[@juliadavies8551]

Is the template still available please?

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Hi Julia, I'm afraid that due to the age of this video it is no longer available. You can, however, check out the 'free stuff' section of our website for other free example projects.

[@TheComposer1979]

mmm simple but it works thank sir

[@MargueriteMontes]

A bit disconcerting when the voice is not in sync with the presenter?

[@WreckageMiami]

im getting lag in the audio as well

[@wesleyleigh4063]

He bussed it to a parralell comp. with the same attack and 1 db of gain reduction. why? i'm about to put 6 comps on 6 seperate busses at about 1 db gain reduction fook it mon

Lazy producer quicktip to achieve most of what he done : CLA vocals

[@jvonnjvonn4688]

but hes using stock plugins most ppl cant do that they think waves an other plugins do something the stocks dont

[@wesleyleigh4063]

@@jvonnjvonn4688 feel that. I have CLA vocals and i've honestly never used it

[@jvonnjvonn4688]

This video is for those who think stock plugins can't produce an amazing sound hopefully this video would stop ppl spending money on third partie plugs

[@NASSIFBlMUSIC]

[@leepshin]

COMPRESSION COMPRESSION COMPRESSION COMPRESSION COMPRESSION COMPRESSION and even more COMPRESSION. You can never have too much COMPRESSION so let's pour on some more. This is the reason why music today is flat, lifeless and without timbre or texture because dicks like "Gonad" the Compressor here have squeezed all the faq-ing life out of the performances. Music used to be a joy to listen to but not any more. It died about 10 years ago.

[@jessealordiah]

Lee Sanderson stfu

[@iainmcguire7190]

None of the above was said in the video. In fact, the opposite was said. Wtf are you talking about?

[@kishorilalkishoreda5719]

The vocalist sounds like a black girl
