Hi brother I have problems in Ballance beat and vocal Would you like like to show on how your Ballance on your mixing busses Or properly alternative ways of Ballance maybe Reference of Dbs between of real peak of beat and vocal Or uses of VU meter Your help brother

[@prodbythabinsummerlin]

Question? Could I just turn the beat down through the wave volume function on the wave on Pro Tool’s arraignment screen?

[@kevoncarter750]

so should I leave that studio rack on when mixing or is it strictly for recording?

[@deemac1]

How are you getting the two track to start with? When I rip beats online and bring them into my daw, they are just one track. Do I need to make my beats two track?

[@jpthastoner8217]

On the preset Is there a way to turn down the snare or kick if the macro is all the way down

MR HELP HMD can you show us the way you mix this vocals with a heavy trap beat Please like this

[@frankm3]

So this is all giving you room to master vocals and two track together after?

[@coliseummusicgroup9860]

Did you put the gain stage plugin on the master track or the actual beat track?

[@jerzilaw516]

Thanks i learnt a lot. But how do you create headroom with a mastered beat? Reducing the volume to create headroom seems to hide the components of the beat especially when its an mp3 beat

[@Hugoknots]

An .mp3 of a mastered beat is not ideal for many reasons. You should try and work with .wav files to ensure best quality. Anyway, you create headroom by lowering the clip gain and having space below zero. then once you mix your vocals in you bring everything back up with a limiter or other plugin to add gain in which case all elements will be brought back up together

[@nicocuevas5649]

@@Hugoknots hey bro, 2 questions: U said bring back elements with a limiter. Would that be done in the mastering stage or the mixing stage itself? 2nd question is: if i downloaded an mp3 beat, can i convert it on an online file converter to WAV? Will it be better quality?

[@FUTUREINFINITYWORLD]

you a beast... would be dope If you could make a video mixing and mastering with all your studio rack presets.the two track preset, the vocal preset, and the mastering preset!

[@bandotruf0822]

At what level should the beat be peaking at after gain staging I heard -12 ?

[@Hugoknots]

It doesn't matter, just don't clip. Peaking begins to matter when you are adding plugins or using external hardware in which case you want to go in at -18, sometimes -12, it really depends on what your plugin manuals say and if the plugin is emulating old hardware.

[@suki7097]

I’ve gain staged my mix so it peaks at -6 on master fader and everything is clean, when I export the mix and listen to it through my phone it sounds fine but when I turn the volume up it starts to distort, is this down to it not being mastered and there being no limiter? Or is this a problem within the mixing stage? If anyone could help I’d appreciate

[@iScootToronto]

Try -12 to -18 lil sweetspot

[@RookieMistakeYT]

As an engineer im usually turning your beat down -6db off the jump if its a 2 track. That’s -12db technically. Throw a decent limiter on there and leave some headroom.

[@suki7097]

Thank you for your responses!

[@riipper]

[@key8sixty]

Question bro! So when I record with a preset on, my vocals come in processed. However, if I like the way it sounds when I am monitoring, but I don't like how it sounds when I listen to it back, what do I do then? Because the compression was already applied to the vocal coming in, so it's hard compressed whether I take the plug-ins off or not. I record on FL, so maybe that's one of the issues that I have.

[@visioninmotionnation]

Nothing, you've already added pre effects on it, re-record it is the easiest answer to your question

[@JustMamba]

Fl studio has an option to record with effects on but not have them in your recording. By the option where you select your mic it says pre and post. Pre records a clean take but you here it with the effects on. You can either keep.them or change it or get rid of them altogether after your done recording. Post glues them to the track

[@gilbertdanso6098]

So is this plugin good for a mix bus / even on a mastering chain ??🤔🤔

[@malapauta]

Yes there’s a ton of mastering chains of studiorack

[@dropoutrecords25]

Can someone from Devvon camp please answer my email about the download link I just purchase it won’t open. I have sent several emails and pictures explaining. but no one is hitting me back. Thanks

[@maziahnieves2363]

If I have an album of 12 tracks all 2 tracks neat leased, how do I make them all sound the same RMS to be a cohesive mixed album???

[@maziahnieves2363]

Any other plugins that can be used for gain staging a 2 track like the trim plugin in pro tools??

[@scoevisuals8833]

Hit my up if you need a mix

[@mookeymontana]

Or you can turn the wave form down itself

[@mookeymontana]

Man it’s so interesting how people do things . I put like 3 or 4 plugins on it to even make them sound realistic

[@soblessedpopz]

Not didn’t even show the db’s after inserting that gain staging plug-in ‘ after the fact he said not to throw a plug-in on the insert before lowering the gain on the actual channel inserts

[@8360ishan]

Why home studio vocals don't sound like the professional songs we all listen on iTunes or KZbin...?

[@azaiahmccoy6704]

Yo Devvon. I bought the Preset and watched your video on how to install it but it didn’t work. It’s like my file won’t unzip. Can you help?

Nvm I got it lol

[@indintokyo838]

Bro even when you don’t say words your cadence be going crazy 😂🔥💯

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Thanks lmao

[@8360ishan]

Bro nice video but I don't think only a one plugin can give the studio quality vocal mix.. It's just kinda preset.. Not the real science what if we want to do all these things individually with individual plugins step by step to get more upfront vocals like we listen on radio or KZbin pop songs...?

[@BellToBell]

Sorry if it sounds erratic but FL's fader does get the levels down along with the volume... is that a right way in that case??

[@simranbanwait]

How the hell you know i was watching your two track tutorials , exactly the same topic video is uploaded

[@fusionnetwork7000]

Nice but u should’ve done a before and after of the song, so we can easily see the difference

[@ballinonabudget6229]

I normalize my 2 track to 60-80% depending on how loud it is

[@IAmFresh29]

What would you recommend gain staging the beat to ?

[@jblaqworldwide]

It’s never the same -10 decibels is usually his target but every beat is mixed differently

[@jazzylamel]

Soo.... this is why you buy the beat and get all the stems, then YOU GOOD! But i like your show.

[@markoitaliafans]

Can you do Playboi Carti vocals?

[@celluecollorebestmandlamin953]

Thanks for the valuable information bro... What other plugins can you suggest for gain staging apart from studiorack?

[@daalabbmusicgroup]

What DAW do you use…?

[@celluecollorebestmandlamin953]

I'm using Cubase 5... And I use mostly Waves plugins

[@daalabbmusicgroup]

@@celluecollorebestmandlamin953 You can use your VW meter plugin if you have it to visually see what you are going while you are gain staging. In Cubase 5 one way to gain stage is while in the mixer view, between the mixer slider noob and the stereo out is the input gain with a turn noob that is at 0.0. Hold shift while turning down your noob. You will then see your track turn down the volume without moving your mixer slider that should be at 0.0 while you are gain staging. That should help you to get a greater balance in your mix… Continue to make great music… ✌️ DLMG

[@user-vc4xg2jx7b]

dude just fucked around and made a hit out of thin air LMAO

[@ThatShitIsHotSunlive]

Cant u just turn it down from the clip itself?
