How To Mix Vocals w/ Waves Plugins

[@alecparrish7646]

The simple delay after the 1/2 H-Delay was mindblowing. Incredible tutorial.

[@ryanedwardmusic]

Echoboy has a rush/drag knob that can do that

[@shaft9000]

If you thought THAT was trippy then introduce yourself to Tangerine Dream RICOCHET

​@@ryanedwardmusic Thank you for letting us know!! I appreciate it

[@ChaceBonanno]

@@ryanedwardmusic isn't that just like a predelay?

It’s a muppet 🤣

[@AlanGabrielLopez]

It’s crazy how a puppet knows a lot more about production than a lot of real people I’ve met lol

Realist puppet in the game

[@mce320]

wow - putting all of your effects in a chain instead of create multiple other tracks - this is a game changer!

[@jordanpravin5623]

Bro your production and branding are off the scale! Lol, makes me feel like a kid waking up and watching these, keep at it!

[@noir6819]

Holy smokes! My vocal production skills have increased exponentially. Thank you for giving me another tool to add to my mixing repertoire

[@CaliDBN]

if my recording vocal was that clean i would never ever ever have a bad mixing session . my word is that recording vocal clean

[@8bit_misfit]

This tutorial is absolutely brilliant. Definitely put some more tools in my mixing tool belt. Thank you for sharing this and also explaining the “whys” of why you made your choices. So good. I’m def going to share this with some of my mixing friends. Well done.

[@pythgoreansassistant2789]

Finally someone creative with their tutorials. Makes it so much easier to watch.

[@matthewchavezm.b.s5503]

I like the comment you made that people like vocals and people like fx and it takes a lot of finessing to get them to sit together correctly when talking about using the flanger after the delay to further shape the sound of the delay to keep it clear.

[@gabriel.visita]

This is the best mixing vocals tutorial of KZbin that I've ever seen. Cheers from Brasil

[@A1GAZ1]

Go look up Lu Diaz 4 steps to mixing vocals

[@lyteyearz5810]

Where has this video been my whole life?!!!! Thank you so much! Huge help. Love the puppet thing. Makes everything visually friendly and easy to learn.

[@melohypewill777]

its amazing how you can take a lead track vocal and make backround and melodies out of it not many engineers notice that !

[@LeventCemAydan]

Incredible information. I was going through a lot of vocal processing and mixing videos today, this is by far the best.

[@flakofficial]

So crazy to think that the best production tutorials are made by a puppet

[@ns1983za]

You just convinced me to mix vocals in Ableton in stead of Pro Tools. Live's effects/midi/instrument racks are amazing.

[@suryoramadhann]

when i DJ at my local club, your song help me so much to build the vibe and make the crowd going. when i produce, your tutorial help me so much more to understand. thank you so much!!

[@hlokomani]

first time seeing a flanger being used this way, amazing dude. SUB for that

[@bluegroovestudios6823]

Dude! You and that puppet just schooled a brotha! I've been recording and mixing for years, and I just realized I'm not on my game. Damn, that vocal mix was tight!

[@djalbums37]

Same here

[@DeezyCobain]

Man the recording from the mic is amazing to begin with.

[@peterblatte6085]

I've been at it for almost 2 years now, if I could could go back in time and give myself one tip it would be to stop wasting time watching anything on youtube aside from Reid Stefan...for the most part. Keeping it real

[@WilliamDaProducer1989]

Man dont waste time

[@willemvanbiljon6389]

Best vocal processing video i've seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Stefan

[@Curtis-C]

Whole loops commercial was funny af. Keep up the good work!!!

[@dominickisidore5180]

All the songs you mix bump hard bro!

[@NonBada]

Just found this gold. Thanks so much for such detailed mix tutorial

[@mitch150]

Can you cover mid side compression / saturation? I understand mid side EQing, but I don't know when/where/how I would apply mid side compression / saturation.

[@isaxxii3749]

You have no idea how much insight I've gotten for the mixing process from your videos

[@JDNicoll]

Mind blown. At the beginning I was going to comment, asking you to do this with a real singer because it sounded so bad. But by the time the delays were added, I was loving it. Amazing.

[@Noway673]

Its obvious that this video maker is a big fan of the Muppets from the 1970's.This was very creative to use a Muppet instead of a cartoon.

[@TheBlashMusic]

WOW.....I never realized how good the Valhalla plugins sound! This video alone just convinced me to buy both plugins haha

[@stevstrums23]

the effects on the reverb is straight sauce reid.. u da gang fr

[@therealtzbaby]

The whole loops ads are on point 👌🏼

[@2k2beats7]

Yooooo, you just won my heart. I requested this yesterday after watching your vocal template tutorial using only ableton stock plugs. bottom line - You're the fucking man!

[@trusso11783]

Great info. The oddest thing is that the message is delivered by this funny puppet and no one even mentions it. Keep it up.

[@LB-nz8in]

The real pupet in the game ! Thank you so much for your videos it is like you knew i needed the wave vocal tutorial :P everything is gonna get much better and easier thx to you

THIS PUPPET CAN WORK A COMPUTER AND DAW SOFTWARE WITH HIS FLIPPING MIND! ... GENIUS!! ..

I honestly owe everything I know regarding Ableton thanks and mixing to you.

Bro Always got some good videos man I'm gone be on this channel all day

[@rhcpfellow]

It kills me every time I see that puppet nodding its head to "Hey, yo mista Boombox can you give me somethin right." It's hilarious.

[@JoeLeonardo]

Lol same. This video is over 20 minutes and I smiled every time.

[@RobRadleyMusic]

The head banging puppet is the best thing about this video! 😂

[@lam.924]

Masterful. Instantly subbed. One of the best tutorials I’ve seen with excellent quality.

[@KazzFlow]

Lovin the tutorials bro, this took my workflow to another level.. Quick question tho, no Deesser, no EQ on the lead vocals?

[@mob2142]

killer tut dude tried this and made my vocals so much more clean

[@zodiacjack8338]

Hey man you should start doing vocal effect videos with your waves plug INS to mimic different sounds that artists have created. Not only do I think it would be successful I also think that it would appeal to a whole new crowd of people.

[@alifadzlan8676]

The key is that his dry vocals with or without the Autotune is already clear and sound so good and solid, thats what ive been looking for but great tuto. thooo

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Talented singer, good recording techniques, good recording equipment gives you the best starting point

[@alifadzlan8676]

@@ReidStefanMusic omg u reply. Thanks master. One more question, does your dry vocal really does not being touched at all? it came out like that?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

This vocal was recorded in 2016 when I had warm audio gear and a rode ntk mic. Check our the earliest tutorials I posted to see this setup

[@QuantumKatmusic]

Wow great work, nice that you use wave plugins I love them, I'll definitely check out the ones I'm missing from here. Amazing job on the delays

[@aslegu]

Thanks for brilliant tutorials Reid Stefan! I have a request, can you show how the Waves Vocal Rider can be applied to a vocal track in Ableton to level out the vocal volume? I was hoping to record the "write" function as automation of the Mixer Volume, but to no avail...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Reid. Using the Audio Effects Rack in this way is really resourcefully. However, I'm having gain staging issues. How do you gain stage inside of the Audio Effects Rack?

[@cicarvajal]

You are the best. Thank you , very much . Great gretings from Chile…

[@Jamiekoko]

This is so helpful! Thank you Reid Stefan, absolute legend!!!

[@elrapanda]

Good but a bit unfair for the regular people, cuz they don't know how the original vocal was recorded, c it sounds pretty good from the beginning, so we need to take the best vocal we can and then refine with a process like this one. Is interesting how the voice sounds equalized. Thanks for the content.

[@gergomagasvari6089]

Incredibly helpful video, i just have one question tho. Why is it better to create those chains, then just to put it on the channel directly?

Thanks a lot for the saucy information! I noticed you didn't do any EQ, Saturation, etc to the main vocal. Would you do that in the dry channel?

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[@kdelavirgen]

Using a delay to fix timing issues of another delay? Never thought of that before. Might have to give that one a try

[@classicjay1]

top notch stuff here Reid!!

[@ApolloMclaren]

holy shit this changed my life

[@WHYTRI]

Is the L2 used to help give the vocal more body after the compression?

[@griswold4163]

Loving your videos man, you're the best!

[@808god]

there is no subtractive eq on vocals? or add some shine on vocals with eq etc on lead... i see the vocals was tracked with eq,pre,comp, so u dont see the reason to add some air or shine on vocals?,, AWESOME TUTO DUDE PD - sorry for my english
