thanks so much!! been looking for a video on this for so long!

@RecordingArtsCanada Ай бұрын

Yay! So glad you found it! Hope it helps☺️🙏✨

More people need to know automation sounds much better than squashing with a plugin compressor. Great advice and great video. Never tried that parallel compression trick. Next time I need to work my voice into a track I hope I remember to give it a go!

@RecordingArtsCanada Ай бұрын

Yes! Automation is often overlooked but honestly pretty much the standard if you’ve ever worked on a board and or cut to tape. For me I often automate my sends so that I can hit different effects in different ways. It’s honestly endless all the parameters you can automate! Hope the trick helps!☺️🙏

Thanks a lot. Interesting and helpful, but I’m not firm in side chaining and automation so far. Can you recommend a video that explains side chaining for a beginner concerning vocals?

Hey! Thanks for the comment! Here’s a video we did on side chaining. Hope this helps 🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYfLfayblt6qobcfeature=shared

A good mic preamp also helps

Totally! I was focusing on easy fixes sometimes people have a given interface and getting a good mic pre can be a little out of reach. But of course if you want your sound to shine you need to get it captured the best👌

@MarkVO Ай бұрын

Rings true. I went from a UA Apollo to MT48 and it was much easier to get my voice overs to cut through without sounding artificial and boosted from pushing the high end too far.

@@MarkVO $1,800 for a two preamp interface? Ouch.

Do you think it’s ever necessary to record unisons to fatten up (and widen) the sound? Or can you get the same effect with creative mixing?

@RecordingArtsCanada Ай бұрын

Hey! I put a video I think you might find helpful for how I get the best main take! If you’re interested there’s a part 2 in the playlist. The reality is I find when you have more to work with you have more to work with but there are inventive ways to save a thin vocal if you can’t record doubles. Let me know if that helps!🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJXCg32aZs2Dgdkfeature=shared

@@RecordingArtsCanada Thanks for the link! I was afraid that there wasn't a work around, but I thought I'd ask. But to be fair, once I start recording vocals I get into a rhythm and it doesn't seem like the bother that it would be. The thought of recording 5 layers of vocals sounds like more of a grind than it is. I'll probably leave replies on the videos also (engagement and all), but I just wanted to respond here and thank you for the ideas. I was doing layers already, but I never thought of using different textures and octaves as well. It's very cool to play around in that way. 👍🏾
