3 PRO TIPS to Remove VOCAL Noise - Should you use a Gate?

[@MathiasAndersson-c7i]

Listened to your new (2022) song. Beautiful - tough I am a mid to late 90s Pearl Jam-fan. 😅 Very delicate and beatiful vocal/melody - but the beat of the bassynth to the drums almost makes me think you're talented instrumentalist playing "real" instrments as well. Ambiences are beautiful too. Flawless mix! But I kinda expected that since I've followed you on KZbin for a long time. 😊 (I started with Cubase before any other DAW was even born - and still love it!) Today: expander to get rid of noise on a vocal track! Thanks for the tip!

[@erikkroll2154]

I usually silence the audio between the vocals and not use a gate. Works great and I don't have to mess with a gate. But an expander works good.

[@koushikbhowmick1601]

just listen to your track... just blown away.. what an arrangement.. and the snare sound is incredible... love from India

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks a lot! :-)

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

Thanks for this video Chris :). I literally just dealt with a vocal take with excessive noises around singing, breathing etc, it's easy to forget we probably all deal with this on many occasions. Great tips :).

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome, Tony!

[@66fitton]

Shift X !!! I didn't know that was an option!! Again you save me time! Great tips for smooth transitions! Can apply them to any acoustic instrument. Thanks again Chris! BTW, finally finished removing all my verb and delay plug ins from the individual tracks, copying the tracks and adding the plug ins to the second track at 100% wet then remixing all 10 songs!! What a difference!!! Can't thank you enough for all this! It's my first go at it and it's already way better than we thought it was gonna be! I'm so looking forward to sending you a copy!!! Cheers my friend! 🤘

[@mixdownonline]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing! You're welcome Steve!

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Thank you for showing us all these options.

[@mixdownonline]

My pleasure!

[@bushmurphymusic3466]

Hi Chris, Love your videos. I have been a long time Cubase user (since cubase 4), and I have learned more from your videos than I have ever been able to figure out for myself. Thank you SIr !

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome, my friend!

[@johncostigan6160]

I didn't know how much I needed these techniques! Thanks Chris.

[@mixdownonline]

Awesome :-) Happy to help, John!

[@chris-sh8vj]

Very nice tutorial🔥 SIMPLE Thanks🙏

[@PeterBatah]

Great track Chris. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it on Spotify. Can we expect an accompanying video to follow perhaps?

[@MuzeInspiration]

Hi Chris is there a tutorial on how to stack the backups like you did in your project?

[@kdcyp]

Great tips as always Chris! I’d forgotten about Shift+X and didn’t know about “detect silence’ features! Thanks so much!

[@mixdownonline]

Happy to help!

[@duanetribune4441]

Great tips Chris. I do a lot of voice over work sometimes & have to remove or tame breaths sounds. The Shift X & Detect Silence feature is sure going to help next time. Thanks for all you do, I really look forward to your videos & have learned a lot from watching them.

What is the best plugin expander for live recordings?

[@tapanchakraborty5597]

Sir, in my place there are not enough accuastic arrangements so normal reverbs comes in recording, please share tips to remove background noise. Cubase 5

[@trentonmoore5850]

Thank you!!! I've been using Izotope RX Noise 3, and it kinda works but not getting the full effects I want. Sometimes I end up using it with my Logic Pro Noise Gate but then I think I'm taking too much out of the performance at that point... Ciao!

[@Alex23743]

Thanks for this session, it’s so fruitful

[@mixdownonline]

You're so welcome!

[@macronencer]

I used that very plugin when I was doing Foley for a film once, and it was driving me mad because the recording I'd made wasn't loud enough and the background hiss was breaking through. Important to make sure you track correctly before trying any sort of remedial expander or gate, because sometimes audio is pretty much unsalvageable. I wish I'd thought about pre-roll and post-roll back then, though - I never tried them (or perhaps they were not an option at that time) and maybe they would have helped.

[@mixdownonline]

Good tip, thanks!

[@just.decide_platforms.]

Hii.. Amazing video thanks So when i use lavalier microphone and person talking it's better to set fast relese and attack or what the basic gate setting for lavmic you recommend?

[@Jerome.c52]

Song in french yeahh have good day from france :)

[@yvanroustan4426]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ! about cubase when you are in piano roll view is it possible to switch between piano, violin... without changing part in arranger view ? because i always hear the part selected in arranger view even if i select another instrument in piano roll view...

[@ygorjensouniev-mafabriquea6992]

Super ! Merci beaucoup. (Thank you very much). Et merci aussi pour votre diction en anglais qui rend l'accès à vos propos possible pour une oreille française si peu familière avec la langue de Shakespeare. (And thank you also for your diction in English which makes it possible for a French ear so unfamiliar with the language of Shakespeare to access your words).

[@mixdownonline]

Bienvenue, Ygor :-)

I want to learn how to mix vocals

[@davidball7211]

Perfect timing as always Chris. Just getting ready to mix some new training songs and I just started working on vocals. I'm really looking at your mixdown coaching community. For a newbie like myself working alone from home, this could answer allot of questions for me. Your annual price looks great IMO. Keep up the great work my friend.

[@mixdownonline]

Awesome! Weclome aboard MCC :-)

Hey Chris i need your help.if you know some effect or presets vst for dubbing vocal ,like robot like fantastic movies or somthing more ambient atmosperic effetcs for dubbing ,please tell me the universal or some of plugins

[@MedyLandiaCapellan]

J'adore toute tes videos Chris! Merci pour prendre le temps de les faire! Pour le shortcut I saw your link on the description et meme quand je vais dans KEY COMMANDS je me demandais comment creer un command qui fait automatiquement faire -18 par exemple pour les respirations? I found the decrease one but it goes 1db per click. C'est possible de faire un click qui faut automatiquement descendre de -18? Merci a lot!

[@mixdownonline]

Oui, la commande "Audio - Decrement Event Volume" équivaut à une réduction de volume de 1db. De mon coté, j'ai cette comande 6x donc un réduction de 6db. Ajoute cette commande 18x et voilà! :-)

[@EvansAudio]

Thanks Sir

[@mixdownonline]

Welcome

[@Boshy2222]

Hey Chris, you forgot the shortcut ;). Nice Video, Thanks for your tipps
