Maximize Your Vocal Production with Waves Silk Vocal and CLA Vocals Plugins

[@kingkyoga9263]

Vocals were already clean to my ears lol

[@MTTC]

You have good ears King. Yes they were well recorded 👍🏾

[@howarddavid31]

The raw vocal sounds already processed ? Leveling sounds amazingly even .

[@MTTC]

Recorded with a great mic through a lovely mic preamp and treated through a sweet compressor before entering the audio interface Howard. 😀 Thank you for your great feedback 😀

[@darkcharmrecords]

Excellent idea adding CLA Vocals after Silk. All you need

[@MTTC]

Cool yeah it works incredibly well in that order 👌🏾

[@pbxMirzaOfficialAccount]

​@@MTTCBro Can you give it me free. Because I have no money for buy this . Now we can get it paid😢.Please 🙏 help me.

[@Now3bwx]

So wild u did a vid for this because I jus put these 2 together and searched and found u did too! 🎉🔥

[@MTTC]

Wild indeed my friend. As they say “great minds think alike” 💡💭😀

[@NUANCEZONRISE]

Finally somebody mixing some hip hop gospel I love it!

[@MTTC]

You know what? You have inspired me to do more Gospel mix demos going forward. Thanks a million 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@NUANCEZONRISE]

@MTTC I am glad to knw God showed u to me 4a reason. "He" has touched ur heart. As a female producer/artist, I never see men doing any of this. Which really made me feel welcomed when watching. Weird but its fr lol. But that's what we're called to do that which pleases Christ. You're built to last, never doubt who u are and where ur needed. "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, but the violent take it by force. The Lord has need of u, I speak life into ur gifts as God has called u to go forth to move differently than others. Greater is He that is in u, than he that is in the world". Blessings🙏🏼 🦅💃🏽

[@fusion-music]

Maybe the best video on this great plugin - especially combined with using the other plugins. Thanks.

[@MTTC]

Really appreciate your kinds comment Steve. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@StratsRUs]

You always write beautiful music for each video.

[@MTTC]

Thanks for your very kind words H K 🙏🏾

[@CliffMcAulay]

Super video. You have really helped me understand the Silk Vocal and its workings. I also love the CLA vocal plug in. Thank you sir, consider yourself subscribed!

[@MTTC]

Thanks a million Cliff for the sub and for your positive feedback. So glad you found the video useful and that you are enjoying using these plugins. Great!!! 😀

[@Go_Ceddy44]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 can't wait to try this

[@MTTC]

Yes the silk vocal is great but the combination with the Cla vocals is magical 😃

[@MrTeejeehook]

Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@MTTC]

I promise I will sir. Thanks for the positive feedback. Much appreciated 😀

[@lloydcooke5503]

Yeahhhhh, love this gospel R&b vibe. This sounds 🔥 love the combo you used. I'm definitely gonna try this out. Who is the amazing voice on the track?

[@MTTC]

Nice one Lloyd. Yes the artist is fantastic. Check out her work @alialara She has just won a prestigious Gospel newcomer award here in the Uk. 🙏🏾

[@lloydcooke5503]

​@@MTTC 😂 totally bypassed the first segments of your video when you spoke of the artist. Nice one 👍🏽

[@BezaleelIsrael]

so straight forward. thank you.

[@MTTC]

Excellent. I’m glad it made sense to you. Cheers 😀

[@AshtonForeverMusic]

great video. question, how come your vocal chain has 2 circles (stereo)? isnt any vocal suppose to be on a mono channel or no?

[@MTTC]

Great spot Ashton. 👍🏾 The project was sent to me by the artist’s producer as exported stems. As such the vocal tracks were bounced in place as dual mono audio tracks hence they show up as stereo tracks. Great question. 👍🏾 Thanks for the positive feedback as well. 💯

[@SuperSamsosa]

Should i use the Silk plugin before the CLA Plugin ? I used to do it the other way round.

[@MTTC]

I think Silk first then CLA Vocals. If you are mixing with stock Plugins or using hardware effects and processors you do your de essing, compression and eq before adding delay and reverb to the signal for the cleanest more controlled outcomes. Therefore I’d say processing with Silk first makes sense 😀

[@SuperSamsosa]

@@MTTC Thx so much for your advise.I usually use plugins ( deessers, compression, equalizer, etc in any order and then Silk and CLA to finalize. I`m a rapper and not really producer. Just learning to get my project moving. Thx for any advise.

[@InaktiverUser]

i love to use xvox pro by nuro audio, one simple plugins with alls the features like, Gate, DeEsser, Comppression in different styles and combinations, equalizer with build in fresh air option to choose and different styles, delay and many different reverbs with bpm sync function and adjustable length + ducking effect and creative fx options like a doubler, wider, telephone effect and more.

[@MTTC]

Cool. Yes there are some great all in one plugin suites for vocals available. Another excellent option is iZotope Nectar. Amazing too!

[@InaktiverUser]

@@MTTC yes exactly, but in the end it comes to taste :) sometimes i build my own vocal chain to have more flexibility and creating some mystic sounds ^^

[@massikrbeats9195]

Dope results! Convince me to get that Omni channel tho idk I'm checking it out!!

[@MTTC]

A great comb for real. And the Omni channel is sublime. It can’t hurt to try it out 👍🏾😀

[@fredrickcaples6112]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nice video

[@MTTC]

Much appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@amaurimontalvo3014]

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. A video explaining how yo use silk vocal with CLA vocal plugin. Excellent!

[@MTTC]

Amauri I very much appreciate your positive feedback on the video. I’ll be posting another such video on the 24th so stay tuned for that one as you may well find value in it. Cheers 🙏🏾

[@theacidist]

Nice vid but the example was already a very highquality recording

[@MTTC]

Yes the vocal was already well recorded. I think a good way to truly represent the plugin is by showing how much it can transform a less well vocal. Thanks a lot for your honest feedback and prompting me to revisit this one. Cheers ✌🏾

[@Ian-h5r]

I have just got silk and so waves jjp how does jjp compare with cla vocals?

[@MTTC]

I’ve found the algorithms used in Silk Vocal much smoother than the JJP plugin. Plus you have more control over shaping the tone of the vocal. I suppose there’s nothing lost in trying out the JJP Plugin for the 7 days to see if it adds anything to your flavour of music 🙏🏾

[@Ian-h5r]

Thanks for your reply, I've just got silk vocal last week and jjp the other night, and does sound good. But just wondered about the cla vocals too. It looks really well laid out too which is great. By the way have you ever tried out vocal rider? Thanks again. 🙏

[@reggiedaniels3693]

Nice tut but end result to me is a Lil too hissy on high end

[@MTTC]

Good observation Reggie. The final mix was rushed via headphones 🎧 and I just didn’t get a chance to reference on another system. Thanks for your honest feedback. Truly appreciated 🙏🏾

[@PoppybLuntz]

am I the only one who thinks the end result came out too bright? lol

[@MTTC]

A quick and dirty demo using presets for KZbin my friend. With fresh ears I’m sure I’d make further adjustments. Thanks for the feedback though 👍🏾

[@Brian_Grant]

I wouldn't say too bright. With the short clip we heard at the end, it seems to bring the vocals to the front.

[@redmase1]

He just used presets but you can still hear where you can still get professional results

[@SupernovaSun77]

Silk it crazy

[@MTTC]

A lovely little tool for vocals 😀

[@SupernovaSun77]

@@MTTC for real I’m shocked it’s free and how dope it is fam.

[@bd-one4213]

Nice video,what is your vocal chain…?

[@MTTC]

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. From my recollection I used only the Silk Vocal and CLA Vocal on this. The recording was through the Audient ID14 audio interface and no other additional hardware treatment. Just a clean audio stream then the Waves plugins on top. 😀

[@buckrogers5703]

Dry ah aha ah !!!

[@MTTC]

Cool 👍🏾

[@bedroomproducer16]

Thanks

[@MTTC]

You are very welcome 😀

[@jojobestonthebeat2973]

You are my mentor

[@MTTC]

Truly appreciate your kind words Jojo. Glad my videos are bringing you value 🙏🏾

[@trevormixedit]

Dry vocal sounds finished to me

[@MTTC]

Well recorded vocal using a lovely mic pre. And of course a great vocalist 😀

[@isaacneuton10]

🔥💯

[@MTTC]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@R74-b7p]

The dry vocal sounds processed.

[@MTTC]

Interestingly enough they are just well recorded using a great microphone and mic preamp running through a compressor before being captured by the audio interface. No digital processing at all 😀

[@R74-b7p]

@@MTTC That last run sounds tuned, whether it is or not.

[@OccamsEraserhead]

The 'untreated' vocal was already autotuned. 🙄

[@MTTC]

It might have had a touch of Waves Tune processing for effect.

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

all this modern tech is Awful .. all those singers in my opinion sound fake like a robot.. Can anyone imagine Karen Carpenter using this nonsense? this is horrible...

[@MTTC]

Oh dear sorry to hear that 😦
