Don't mind me, just commenting for the algorithm so my guy can get that coin.

thank you kindly

❤❤❤❤

[@roxychav1749]

Nice

[@Winters_productions]

You said help bro get that coin and learn some shit at the same time time

[@denquar]

I cannot even tell you how grateful I am for this! Your willingness to share useful information and give back to other artists/content creators is so humbling. Thank you thank you. You've inspired me, and I congratulate myself on understanding your processes, making me feel ready invest into my gear, especially for my home videos. So cool! Guess my question is, do you ever EQ your reverbs? Taking out some of the low ends especially for a tighter halo around your vocal tone?

[@nofalsetto5834]

try adding a low cut EQ and take out everything below around 250 hz also a high shelf eq can be nice too taking out some high end.

I had a full mixing class at UCLA and this was way more informative and easier to understand! Blessings xx🧡

[@promiseesimorp2519]

😂 😂 😂

[@therealdrchocolatepudding]

I went there too! not for music, but I did take some of the music business and musicology courses.. did go to LA recording school tho.. and I can say you will almost never learn in a traditional college what you can from youtube or a trade school for this stuff..

[@vicshellyss]

To the tips about focusing on artistry over equipment: PREACH PREACHAAA!! Thank you for sharing your journey, tips, and prices for everything you use in such a plain, conversational, and informative way

[@robarevalos8790]

Jo - I love your simple approach to recording! This is super helpful & valuable info and I look forward to applying this to my worship videos. Thank you so much & God bless!

[@noahjon-darius1509]

never stop being this real and understanding. Thanks man. This video helped me out a lot.

[@axel.lessio]

Thank you so much for showing all the takes in your session, for the longest time I thought I sucked because it does take me an hour to get a 2-minute take I'm proud of. You know, warming up, figuring out the vowels and breath support, timing, getting into the zone essentially. Edit: also, you sound better without tuning, the result is more human and soulful!

[@jayelaychmusic]

Thank you for the transparency and simple, yet detailed breakdown. I'm constantly trying to improve the quality of my content, so this will definitely come in handy!!

[@5amCoffee]

He is a source of inspiration...not just in music but in general, in life.❤❤love and support from Mauritius❤

[@gretchennnn]

This was so useful and the algo suggested it to me at the perfect time! I just started learning how to use a DAW for vocals last month and was overwhelmed with the interface at first. Hearing your thought process is super helpful and I can't thank you enough for creating this video!

[@calblac4786]

I’ve been enjoying your videos for about a year now. Always thought you had a team or something working on your vids. This goes to show that most of a great, natural sound is the work done before you even open a DAW and start recording. Great sound in, even better sound out. Thanks a lot for sharing your process.

[@derekgreen9622]

My boy can sang! I feel you on that "one note that nags" joint. The whole thing can be flawless but I'll remember and focus on that one note and it will haunt me. Great Video!

[@aocnetwork]

Helpful video brother. God bless you.

[@alexcoxworship]

Yes, Thank you so much for this! Love your clean simplistic sound on KZbin!

[@borgesstd]

I really enjoyed this. I've been studying music production and every great producer I have the pleasure to talk to or watch some masterclass or course says that it's about removing the weird things and frequencies and not about trying to ad stuff to your mix, specially when it comes to bad recordings. great video!

[@JoelIssacjvi]

I'm so glad I found this. Just in love with your approach! Simple yet delivers great results. I am sure your journey hasn't been easy, but you're doing a great job Joseph. God bless you! Looking forward to to listen to your music and more of such helpful videos. - Joel Issac

[@Tigi16]

[@chiefjay6559]

I went a music institute and u made understand all these buttons and what they “taught me” in 30 mins in more than a year good job explaining fr😊

[@nataliebuckley9313]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm looking into voice work and although I realize there are many differences when recording music, I think this may be really helpful.

[@jorgek92]

this is exactly what I needed today. You are an example to follow. I will be releasing my own covers soon! I am excited :)))

[@nicolascoune]

I love your energy man, you're awesome ☀️

[@KxngL]

First time watching and listening to your music. Just found you off of Tiktok and I just wanna say bro you're a musical genius! Talented and skilled! Keep doing you, man! Your music is great and you just gained another fan.

[@rparejamusic]

Thank you so much for your advice and transparency about your process!

[@hasanazeem7454]

Thanks for all the helpful advice man. Never really looked at autotune as a tool but rather as a cheat. You definitely made it sound appealing as a tool to basically get the best out of an already amazing performance!

[@monaTrio]

Thank you for this...loved everything about it. you rock man

[@rhonga2k]

I really like how honest you are and don't make your self sound super professional ...Im an engineer but i still watch videos like this to learn different workflows

[@Daniel-xt4uv]

love it! you should make more videos like this, thank you bro!

[@BonattoGui]

love how you give examples out of music works

[@3113_records]

This was really straight forward and helpful. Thank you.

[@melaychuu3490]

LOVED that intro, such a good song !!!

[@KingCarew]

Man thanks for this. This was dope top to bottom bro

[@mush3938]

the guitar yooo, i was waiting for that but loved

[@nicoponxe]

you are an inspiration bro fr

[@junokarah3495]

Perfect explanation!! Thank you sir!

[@JonnyCastle]

That is a great sounding vocal sir! May I suggest making an aux channel for the reverb instead of putting it directly on the vocal channel? Plugins (much like hardware) react differently based on how much signal you feed through them. And every plugin has a sweet spot. If you need anymore explanation I'd be happy to help.

[@MegaZackRyder]

This soothed some misconceptions I had about Auto-tune, so thank you. I'm already a shy singer so when I heard what my voice sounded like on full auto-tune, I was like "oh god, I must be awful if it's working that hard to pull me on pitch" so I started making the settings on pitch correction less harsh. I liked the sound better, but still wondered if I was using incorrectly. Nice to see that more lenient settings on auto-tune is okay :)

[@raf5.13]

Great and smooth natural voice, dude. Very pleasant to listen to.

[@rociodiazgomez8715]

Fantastic explanation! Thanks! you have a wonderful voice!

[@danielseankenny7488]
