AM I A REGULAR? hahahah, I laughed so hard when you played that first song

[@NickJames-ix6ei]

same that was so funny

[@cheekycicc66]

I love that song, yet I have no idea if it's a released or unreleased song! can anyone tell me?

I was like man 🤦🏿‍♂️ lol

[@gustavodelpino4796]

The vocal was already sounding great I think you should a video with a vocal that was recorded in untreated condition like a home studio cuz I think 90% of people watching don’t have good sound treatment

[@SweetPProductions]

FACTS!!! ALL YTUBERS ALWAYS DO VIDEOS WITH ALREADY POLISHED VOCALS SO WHEN PEOPLE WATCHING SEE THEM DO THE BARE MINIMUM TO VOCALS, THEY TRY TO COPY WHAT THEY DO AND THEIR VOCALS NEVER SOUND THE SAME AS THERES. THATS WHY MANY PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME TO START A YT CHANNEL AND SHOW MY TECHNIQUES FROM SCRATCH. IM REALLY CONSIDERING IT BECAUSE MOST OF THESE YTUBERS WILL NEVER GIVE OUT THEIR SECRETS. THEY FOOL YALL AND LET YALL KNOW WHAT THEY WANT YALL TO KNOW

[@guidopalumbo8813]

@@SweetPProductionspls do that

[@ScottThePisces]

I've been a bedroom producer my whole life, and honestly you aint going to have good vocals if the recording is trash, I'm sorry but its the truth. If the room is reflecting on the mic, it's never going to sound like a studio record. The best you can do is dampen the source as much as possible, and then use automation to EQ lines/words differently.

[@neverbeen5691]

​@@SweetPProductionsso u wanna learn Mixing and mastering from someone who had shitty gear or none, and recording from a bad room? Calm down, idiot. This man gives u free mixing tutorial, where others have to study and pay a lot of money for that. If your vocals sucks, buy a better mic and treat your room to sound nice and you will definitely get those vocals. It's 2024 and home studios are possible way easier than back in the days! Stop crying for no reason

[@Ramzo16]

Yeah they make money from it so they don't fully tell you everything

[@johndavis7392]

Streaky is by far one of the best in the business and for him to take the time out of his busy schedule to post videos of all his tricks of the trade that separate the amateurs from the pros thanks a lot streaky

[@ErreGamer]

When I heard the song at first I was like "oh no, not this song again!!" 😂

[@predatorx8081]

So true... my facial expression changed instantly 😂😂😂

"In and out of Love..." damm this takes me all the time :D

[@ricktheexplorer]

You're the best teacher in sound production I ever had; it looks like all my training means nothing in the modern digital age. I am starting all over with the new tech, and Thank You for being such a great teacher.

[@dARTfader]

I have been producing since 2007 and finally it landed on me. Mixing is a question of practice, practice and offcourse practice! I’m finally at a level that i’m confident. Taking in consideration that i mix and master in an untreathed room, i’m quite happy with my results. Knowing your gear is key and i also got rid of a lot plugins. If you overdo plugins on a channel hoping you can fix the crappy sound you overcooked you are doing it not right. I used to do this, but the key is being gentle on the channel. If one plugin ruins your sound the plugins after that are not going to fix the sound quality. I use a maximum of lets say 5 to 6 plugins on a channel and they all have a specific function. So after almost 20 years of mixing and mastering i feel i’m finally there….so never give up or quit. Keep your head up and you will become better over time

[@winterrye7405]

I'm so glad you haven't abandoned The Song. That poor guy has experienced enough instability in his life.

[@nedea]

That vocal sounds sooooo good and crisp. Thanks for the pro tip Streaky!

[@tekis0]

I love the "ducked delay and reverb"!

[@Realliedoe]

Streaky is THE MAN! Thanks for sharing you tips and tricks bro

[@WaltherSuk]

Those vocals are really brightened up greatly.

[@bernieheveron1929]

I always watch a couple of your videos for inspiration before getting back to a project I’m working on. Thank you!!

[@2ql]

It's nice to see you smiling and in a good mood🤩 It's amazing how this draws you in for further viewing.👌I am happy to follow all your advice.😊 Continue to have a nice day Streaky.🤗

[@AzulTierraMusic]

amazing!! Love the instruction Streaky!

[@itstobitan]

This is a very very subtle way of mixing it. It almost sounds the same. Which is obviously the right way in this case, cause the vocal was cleaned and edited already. Or at least it sounds like it was. I don't think Streaky wants to hide secrets it's more like showing you the proper steps of vocal processing instead of showing you how to fix a vocal because that is a very specific and individual process which depends on the respective problems of each recording.

[@whitecatbones]

We need a video on how to record vocals at this level. The source already sounded great.

[@playitsweden4700]

Really!??? Overprocessed and overtuned, robotic. Thats not hard. Getting a good vocalist is what you need.

[@flyoverfredusa]

another great tutorial, nice one Streaky much appreciated

[@mystikrebel1089]

Streaky thanks for this mate as its going to be very helpful !

[@alihazeghsa9857]

Great Idea for m/s side chaining, I love that👌🏻

[@mrimc]

Ultimate audio guru hands down.

[@janisjostmanis6074]

That cheeky smile at 0:27

[@laurobelrecordingstudio]

Nicely done Streaky, it definitely brought out a stand out vocal compared to what it was. I’ll definitely be employing your vocal technique on my next project.👍

[@samwarren6613]

Brilliant video!!

[@Stevo_Reacts_To_The_Internet]

Right. These vocals are already immaculate 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@LimboTubeSocket]

I remember when you started you were making videos that didn't demonstrate what you were talking about. You ahve come so far, and your videos are GREAT!!

[@yokelectronic]

Superb as always.

Wooow that's beautiful

[@AELOTBEATS]

Humour and technique !!! Thx for sharing these. Laughed a lot after the first track, best joke for regular audience 😂

[@Truestories404]

STREAKY THE GOAT

[@boonong3895]

reverb sidechain is good way. thanks for reminding me again. I like this song a lot, In and out of love is still one of the best.

[@Peter-gu9ph]

LOL couldn't believe it when you started playing that "in and out of love" track for the 100th time!!! Thank goodness it was just for a laugh!

[@machineagevoodoo2106]

I'd slap a gate on before all that to mitigate all that breathing etc. Another nice tip is to slightly pan the distorted parts off center (very little) - Does a lot to keep stuff interesting

[@RealityShiftUK]

Never expected to like the transformer more than the warm tube !

[@eancurtis9333]

You are the best !

[@user-bf5lm6vw8o]

thank you my teacher

[@marktywharton]

okay the compression and saturation really hides the weird artefacts and makes it sound a lot better .. I like the reverb

[@wbkbeats8724]

I’ve been following you forever and really love Logic Pro and never use the bus 🚌 because I never understood it well enough besides side chaining…. Until this video!!! You explained it in a way that finally clicked! ❤

[@swuck1638]

Hi Streaky, great content as always! could i ask what's the Wide display monitor you're using in the background that fits Logic pro neatly ? Thank you!

[@jonesy5185]

Can use a simple compressor instead of Trackspacer triggered via sidechain from original vocal

[@Mr.K_Artist]

Perfect

Hahahahah "in and out of love, in and out of love"

HAHA!! good start. I like that song though :)

[@elisrecordz6211]

thx

[@876Plug]

Sound like a processed vocal to how it’s coming through sounding silky like there is no harshness to it like it was already de-essed.. sounded more muffled when you added the body to it too.. also the fact that you did a parallel process on a dry vocal before unmixed as you said is new to me because lots of time the vocal don’t have that much power and volume first before going into a parallel compression which it would of to eirther be turn up or processed first to hit the compressor unless you gonna turn that compressor threshold all the way to the floor with a ration of 10 or more 😂

[@brahimghribi3534]

Great vocal chain. I feel still needs a tiny bit of de-essing?

[@dahlbaker]

I have an SSL Big Six and a Fusion in my home studio. Do I need the SSL Bus + to master or can I get by with the compressors on the Big Six for awhile? Thank you for all you do for singer-songwriters.

[@ZIZZOWORLDMUSIC]

The rough vocals are already processed as far as I could listen...and thanks for the cool intro)

[@michaell.8938]

Do you prefer the digital compressor model in Logic more than the others?

[@Lennie_peled]

streaky! I noticed you didn't use the make up gain in the parallel compression? is there a reason?

[@BorSam]

But with a poor microphone and an untreated room, it's hard to get good sound; it's so easy to mix high-quality record vocals.

[@morfiusuk]

What was the recording chain for her vocals please?

[@cantbejellis]

How would I do this in ableton? Essentially use all the Compression, Saturation, and Reverb/Delay on send inserts?

[@MustBMusic]

Hey Streaky! I’m curious, do you hold on to those discontinued plugins from years past? Some stuff isn’t discontinued but they wait years for updates and other stuff just hasn’t been updated in years but I’m always wondering how many of those older, likely all 32bit plugins people hold on to- do you you ever use them, do you have a favorite and what do you think the oldest one your holding on to is!? Ahh, vintage software. Maybe one day people will seek it out like vintage hardware!?

[@John21690]

Lmao that first song 😅😅 i was like this again? 😠😡😂 great tutorial and i love trackspacer!

[@vinniesings]

Can I send you some of my raw vocal tracks? Would love to see how you apply these tricks on my vocals for rock songs

[@lloydstampa9270]

Hahahha I thought it's the same song over and over I laughed you got me 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@eleven21_music]

Is there a reason why you used the Pro Q3 in linear phase mode?

[@darkcharmrecords]

Which Vocal pack is that Streaky?

[@drippi254]

I C O N 🙌

[@JonoTheVoiceofAustralia]

I've heard you just process it through the Avalon!!

[@rapboyselemani3427]

That song put me in learning mode 😂

[@musicmaestrodj]

So the reverb is not added to delay since they are on separate busses? Wouldn't that sound odd?

[@realraven2000]

That last tip, shelf the highs down again because the vocal became too bright, really added the value for me!

[@BlaszkaRAP]

Made my day with that joke hahaha you play and I'm like no fking way again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@itswhzly]

Would like to see the process on a raw vocal recording instead of 91Vocals Sample Pack preprocessed/compressed vocal.

[@bluematrix5001]

what about that Modulation that are in the Vox???

[@ervinlee887]

Where can we hear the finished song?

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

Hahahahhahaha LOVE THAT START 😅

hhhhhhh I am Really Love this Song Nice Intro Thanks 😄

It seems like the Trackspacer is a must have! Need to get it!

[@Streaky_com]

Soothe 2 is better

[@opinionatorX]

Aye Streaky! Love your work bro. Question. Was that lead vocal sent to you with an effect already on it? Sounds like a tight chorus or flanger on it.

[@Streaky_com]

Yeah

[@opinionatorX]

@@Streaky_com Got you. You worked around nicely. Did you mix music from stems?

[@02rjmartinez]

Can someone please break down his routing, is he taking his vocal channel and routing it to four separate buses? Is he basically using the buses to send effects?

[@TheDonzizi]

Great video. One thing to mention though is that 90% of home studio will not have a raw vocal already sounding this good. Garbage in garbage out

[@Streaky_com]

True

[@lincolnmmitchell]

Oh shit streaky got the stalker glasses!

[@Streaky_com]

😂😂

[@afrobeat3312]

Streaky coo,l your gifted pls think of mixing afro beat genre you will get more followers.God is always good

[@SAGABIJO2]

Best vocal sound in a mix is to have a great singer, singing into a great mic on a greate produced and recorded song played by the best musicians, after that it's all nuances...

[@musicwithryve]

Hey streaky, I'm curious and may I ask why did you not LP/HP the valhalla reverb on the plugin itself and rather put a Pro Q3 at the end?

[@Streaky_com]

More control
