GREAT THNKS BRO

[@josealfonso5260]

Revisiting this video to re-learn again. I have forgotten a lot of tips you gave that apply in a "worship" genre aspect.

[@zegan_audio]

I find my vocals to be super harsh, mostly because we record in crappy spaces and use not great microphones, but I'm definitely gonna try using 2 compressors in my next mix and see what happens! Thanks for the tips :)

[@nathanaelcalvin777]

My Brother! Thank for sharing this worship production video. They are few and far between so I'm happy to see one so detailed and well laid out. I've been starting up my channel and thinking about doing production videos and a series on layering free sounds. I got two episodes so far but I'm learning as I go, anyway thank you so much.

[@beloved_music]

I love it! We can never have enough of worshipping the Lord :) Thank you for stopping by, and love the songs on your channel brother.

[@nathanaelcalvin777]

@@beloved_music Thank you so much, all glory be to God, Jesus Christ my Risen King

[@sammieeg1592]

This is amazing thank you!!!! Can you do the same on female vocals please?

[@luvgxxx224]

Hi David! So blessed and encouraged by your worship videos and this tutorial as I want to make worship music just like you. Hope you could do more tutorial like this! For example, I'd like to know what kind of computer and microphone you used, etc. God bless you!

[@beloved_music]

Grace so awesome to hear that, these videos are for people just like you!! I want to equip those wanting to use their giftings for the kingdom :) now that I’m done with the semester, I am charged and ready to make so many more tutorials and worship videos! Stay tuned, and God bless you!

[@elioncampbell5745]

We need more videos!!!

[@jayllicampo97]

🔥🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@heavenslight7625]

Can you do a video on backup vocals please?

[@M.A.Jstudios]

thanks for the video. What gear due you use to record?

[@anyanwuuzoma6420]

Thanks for this, it's really informative. In the 15:20 min of the video, I saw an ozone5 reverb on your VOX group. Did you put the vocals in a small room before adding more reverb? I just want to know what the ozone 5 is for? Thanks. I'd also love a piano mix video. Yours sounds dope and well situated in the mix. Thanks again

[@beloved_music]

So glad you liked it! I'll do this from time to time if the song calls for it, but I "send" all my vocals to a convolution reverb (which was what I used the Ozone 5 Reverb for in this instance) to gel all the vocals together in a way that sounds cohesive. I just applied it on a group here, but I would typically use a send & return to fine tune the reverb levels, EQ, and etc to make it more subtle.

[@gothfairy6977]

how do you get that angelic reverb effect can’t find anywhere!

[@susannakwon8367]

can you do a vid on how to improve your singing voice?? asking for a friend

[@beloved_music]

I down one raw egg each morning for pristine vocal conditions

[@beloved_music]

Jk, but maybe! I'm not too confident teaching singing related things, but I'll try and gather some tips that worked for me

[@jacobyoo6702]

What mics do you typically use for vocals? thanks!

[@beloved_music]

Hey Jacob! I currently use C414 from AKG for studio recordings and MD421 from Sennheiser for live worship stuff!

[@ruigimarquez8846]

Hey brother, what audio interface are you using and is that the ableton 10 live suite software or?

[@beloved_music]

Hello! I use an Apollo 8P from Universal Audio

[@beloved_music]

And yes, that's the Ableton Live 10 Suite! :)

[@sammieeg1592]

Can you do a video on how to make the piano sit on vocals?

[@beloved_music]

Hey Sammie! I will be covering mixing piano soon, so I'll make sure to cover this in the video!

[@sammieeg1592]

Beloved Music awesome so looking forward to that!

[@NormerDormer]

What DAW is this? Ableton?

[@GustavoHCosta]

Thanks so much man. Quickly question, all the plugins, compressor, EQ, etc, does it all comes with the interface? Or do you have to download it separate?

[@iamami23]

You usually have to download plugins. However, most DAWs already have built in EQs and compressors etc.

[@GustavoHCosta]

instagramaziah I’m pretty new to it, can you tell me websites with some plugins?

[@sammieeg1592]

Gustavo H. Costa he is using fab filter EQ. Check out his description it has all the details

[@GustavoHCosta]

Sammiee G but what about the plugins, where can I buy it for svleton?

[@beloved_music]

Hey Gustavo! These are plugins you can use for any DAW. If you are just starting out, I highly recommend playing around with the stock plugins available with your DAW to familiarize yourself with the effects!

[@elisrecordz6211]

hihhih how r u brooo

[@sheenaka771]

Are u using any preamp brother?

[@beloved_music]

Hello Arun! I have one API 512C preamp I use for single channel stuff like vocals, and otherwise I plug in my mics through my UA Apollo 8P

[@Blycker]

I think the saying is actually, "You CAN polish a turd, but it's still a turd."

[@beloved_music]

😂 which makes more sense. Thanks Jonathan!

[@Blycker]

@@beloved_music Either way, it's gross. Ha ha!!

[@DavidMohMusic]

Dope bro,,, if you can talk a little less plz
