Great video as always! I remember you did sth like this ~1-2 yrs ago and that literally changed the game for me back then. Grateful for this one too! Thank you!

[@pradeeppandey1978]

BTW I can't seem to get that new Dua Lipa track produced by Kevin Parker of Tame Impala out of my head! THe intro even sounds like thriller lol.. would love to see you remake that song !

[@sevika]

[@fancha831]

[@flameofmidnight5041]

Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial

[@BeatAcademy]

You're very welcome!

[@dalvynoficial]

that is great, I would like you to make a video about why some mixing end very closed to a pro level, and some other dont, even if you use the same things you used in that good mix and even in the same music style..

[@kintubeats]

I used my vocals in one of my most sold beats, and was almost not gonna do it but i couldnt find the right type of vocal 4 the track, being able 2 sing will take ur productions 2 a whole new level

[@CaptainVelveeta]

Step 6 will be the most challenging yet, when mastered, will have the greatest benefits.

[@echothenatives]

Cool vid & subbed, question, What mic would you Recommend for doing podcasts? Just for voice Overs / talking My current £70 Mic sounds shit, even after I do some Processing in Ableton

Switching to a (cheap) dynamic mic has significantly improved my quality of life when it comes to recording vocals in my apartment! Much less hassle than with a condenser mic.

[@frankbmusic3525]

what one did you go with?

[@michaelgraflmusic]

@@frankbmusic3525 The Behringer xm8500. This ain't an endorsement, though. I just went with the cheapest one that sounded fine in reviews, and I wasn't disappointed.

[@onekeiway]

THANK YOU! Will be super helpful as I start recording my own vocals for samples 🙌🏾

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure!

[@TristanLevesque760]

Great video! Could you remake Dua lipa Houdini !!

[@iRONUJ]

hello sir! i've a question, please try to answer question: when we start the journey of music production, apart from having love for it we also have this vision that maybe 10-15 years down the line, we'll be working with great artists and will be able to achieve a certain level of fame but for example in your case, you're in this music prod scene for 21 years(as u said) so does that brings some feeling of bitterness that you're in this business for this long but still haven't literally "broke through" (although you're grammy nominated but still) so how do u cope with that feeling? in short, when we're putting so much effort but still not getting expected results how do we keep on going??

[@BeatAcademy]

This is a great question. one that I will probaly answer in more detail in an upcoming video talking about my journey working along side major recording artist. I have no bitterness just expereince new seasons of the road of producing music for a living times change and we need ot be able to adapt to them as well. I enjoy the ability to mentor others and created Beat Academy fort hat reason. in this stage of my life for me personally I find so much Joy in Helping artist level up thier music production skill set and build the music career they are excited to achieve

[@JoeHolick]

the joy comes in the building of each track. for every track I have made, I experienced the joy, of at least what it was worth. if it's worth FAME then someday it will be fame. Beat Academy has a HUGE level of fame, and they have achieved it through sharing musical knowledge, which delivers intense amounts more joy than just playing music, alone - and fame is secondary to it all and usually ends up in despair one way or another. You are playing music for the joy, recording it for the joy to spread. BA has built THOUSANDS of tracks, and each one creates joy with or without recognition. i hate to sound eh but IT'S THE CLIMB. much love guys!

[@iRONUJ]

@@BeatAcademy can't wait for that video!

[@cesargonzalezbueno3359]

I am new to this and I have noticed that everytime I record several takes so I can comp the best part of all my takes they sound a bit different I terms of tonality (not pitch but brighter or darker) giving me a somewhat different vibe. Is this normal?

[@jamiarw7078]

Would anyone know why my vocals cut in and out during playback & export...it's been happening at random sections 😭

[@BarrettJamesMusic]

There's so many reasons why. First thing that comes to mind is PC power.

[@michaelgraflmusic]

I disagree with the mic placement. I think you should start out by getting the back (non-sensitive side) of the mic as close as possible to the wall that's furthest from any reflecting surface. This way, you'll both minimize the amplitude of any reflections that hit the front of the mic and maximize the distance of those reflections, which will mitigate smearing. Of course, that's all theoretical, and the best thing is to just try out different setups and stick with what works for you (sound quality may not be the top priority for a performer).

[@angiebee7254]

Made me laugh

[@guerosensible]

Do you recommend recording vocals with a dbx 160 on for more signal?
