I learned about fresh air from yall and it gives it that extra push to the front. Much love and thank you for the solid masters 🙏

[@sageaudio]

That's awesome! It's a great plugin. Thank you so much and thanks for watching! SageAudio.com

[@renbeatz.]

How does sage audio only have 150k subs. This man needs more appreciation for his work.

[@sageaudio]

Thank you Ren! I appreciate that

[@music7studios]

Thanks for making this great video incorporating Eventide effects and Split EQ! I've always been a fan of theirs and use their products, but seeing your approach to vocals using their stuff was was very eye opening.

[@lematrix01]

By far the best YT Channel

[@RatedBamaTV]

Sage Audio is the best!!!!!

[@PastorSteveOkeke_KKCI]

Please always place the vocal in the instruments for us to have the clearer and correct context of the vocals within the music. Thanks

[@elcantantejr1]

Thanks!! These vocals are too good recorded and sound very well without plugins. proC2 is only at the 60 percent, true?

[@beneditchukwuowne1825]

Sage could ur. Further explain upward processing

[@Six2Nine]

Nice but how does it sound in context with the instrumental?

[@EleventhHarmonic]

you helped me more than you know

[@sageaudio]

That's awesome! Thanks for watching Kyle!

[@DJMontini94music]

Kool tips matey

[@koolkd]

I got a master sample from you guys, super good💯🔥

[@russenduf]

Source vocal is great in the first place...... I D love to watch some work with bad recording material.

[@calvinribera3252]

I didn’t know fabfilter added reverb and air boosting at 2.5k. I’ll have to try that🥴

[@crazyKurious]

Folks can you make a video on how the voice over for this video is equalized. Would be amazing.

[@channellivre6073]

Hello, I started recently to produce in my home studio... I would like to take to mix my piece in a studio but I’m asking myself a question for weeks: but the automations like the cutoff on the tracks I have to do me or the mix engineer? and then some vocals in the background of the singer I have to do them myself (even if my mic is not the best) or does he do them during recording?

[@FarshadHesami]

the original source of vocal recording was amazing,nice and clear. make a video for fixing bad vocal recording please🙏

[@shaneforshort]

Record it again, unfortunately. The only other thing I've found to help is to subtly reduce the fidelity (via mix bus reverb etc) of the rest of the mix to better "blend" it with a less than stellar vocal.

[@F4CTZV]

you cant make a bad recording good, id do it again. If thats not possible, soothe 2, ozone RX and antares Soundsoap

[@dudebenneh7429]

Can you please do a tutorial for hyperpop vocals 🙏🏼

[@mikegmusic]

Y’all are ahead of your time

[@bornbrown6983]

Lovely

[@sirousrezaie2427]

tnx

[@AvelliVEVO]

So no delays Sage ?

[@JTFuller]

This is amazing.. I was with you till Saturn.. lol.. I don't get the envelopes.. But this is extremely helpful man.. Outstanding work..

[@vilgaxrecords]

It basically starts playing with the high energy phrases in vocals to saturate in a pleasing way. Where you don't get that ear piercing highs but saturated highs .Which only takes place when it hits a certain threshold. I don't know if am wrong.

[@AvelliVEVO]

I got you, so basically hit the plus ➕ and add New Envelope Follower, then under the box where it’s says EF 1 click the arrow new to it & select Fast Transients. Now adjust the drive . Then adjust the mix to your liking. Make sure to turn on Linear Phase and High Quality.

[@AvelliVEVO]

I forgot to say with the purple dot hood and drag it to dynamics & drag it to drive too.

[@officialnanijayeli7863]

Please do you recommend putting vocal rider on vocal bus with the back ground vocal and lead going into the bus? Please i need answers Don't know if am doing it right.....

[@prodbybrowngawd]

The only problem I have with these tutorials are that the Vocals are already well recorded. However the basics concepts can also be learned. I would recommend you use a vocal that was recorded by an amateur in there bedroom for example which would be a good example.

[@upnesswayup5668]

Agree 👍

[@prodbybrowngawd]

@@upnesswayup5668 Yea bro check out my music channel @shulumusic

[@RafaelBernatto]

With all due respect that's ridiculous.. There's only good and bad vocals. Find someone who can sing.

[@jdongaffer5878]

@@RafaelBernatto there is never a good or bad vocal... any vocal can be edited or rather mixed by a good mix-engineer to sound nice but there are vocals that has the extrasss like the vibrato, runs, licks and trills and more but it doesn't mean those without such has a bad vocal...

[@jdongaffer5878]

That's really important for us to know the process or if it is the microphone or the treated studio that makes the vocal sound smooth we need to know

[@DjForceWonderz]

do you have it as a template?wish it was there as a template

[@TzoHill]

hey isn't that Jordan Baywoods song?!

[@armannurzaman4466]

What software do you use for this plugin?

[@shottache]

Do you use the split EQ right after the pro Q3 or do you do it after compression?

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! I use it right after the Pro Q3. SageAudio.com

[@unathingomana4217]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ssbhaimusic2513]

sir free alternative plugins also show in video

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! In our newer videos we offer free alternatives. For the time being though, I'd recommend using the corresponding stock plugins you have.

[@Six2Nine]

Why you cut lows if there's nothing low? Look at the spectograph...

[@midibeatz5350]

In mastering it will be affected cos a limiter will boost those so cutting it off will safe

[@Six2Nine]

@@midibeatz5350nah don't copy that

[@TGMajor225]

I feel if nothings there then it can’t hurt to cut them or leave them I just think cutting them helps create space for other frequencies in that area to live in the long run… but idk just a thought

[@Six2Nine]

In my opinion mixing is not creating space fpr other frequencies but putting them together.

[@JOEL-zz1cc]

When you are mixing a vocal always play with beat so we can confirm the authenticity of what you are doing

[@Rck-vert]

Actually, ur vocals should sound good with or without the beat. Tho I would agree with u if ur mixing on a beat that has been mastered

[@YokaDoppelRR]

i would love to see other vocals. its little bit annoying

[@rojoratatatata4002]

Great advice, but please don't add reverb when you're just comparing the EQ changes as it can create lots of confusion and false understanding of mixing. Your EQ settings are good enough themselves.
