Talkback Mic - Make it Turn Off Automatically - No Speaker Bleed!

Important Note: I forgot to mention to use SOLO SAFE on the "Tone track"! - If you solo a track, it doesn't disable the whole set up.

OH man, i hate to break the news after all the effort but Sound Radix have a free plugin called Muteomatic which auto mutes on playback/record. Can also be setup in reverse to mute reverbs etc to make talking to a vocalist easier. I usually have a duplicated room track with input monitoring on smashed with a compressor with Muteomatic on it to make it easier to talk to a bunch of musicians in a room too. p.s super creative way to rig up the auto muting, i never woulda thought of that.

Came here for this comment. Agree though, cool setup :)

[@dylankaminkow5411]

yeah i used to do it this way with a hardware compressor before i got muteomatic. lives on my cntrl room and live room TB tracks

[@dylankaminkow5411]

also now that frees up another channel of compression for tracking ;)

[@Shougun2007]

Thanks for the tip! Downloaded Muteomatic straight away, gonna give it a whirl. Also, really good tips in the video.

Get Cubase - it has TalkBack mic setting built into the "Control Room" along with other great features like multiple reference setup that bypasses the project and auto dim switches as well as huge RMS meter so you don't need an extra plugin. Cubase is the shit.

Nice mic placement on the cue stick

[@aidange2]

it makes me SO happy to know that you are using studio one! :D

[@benreavesmusic]

This is... a fantastic idea. Thank you for this inspiration. You could, if the mixer supports it, send the output to sidechains on a digital mixer, so that the talkbacks don't even depend on the DAW being loaded up.

[@fionajetstudio]

In the pre-DAW era we used a Drawmer gate in duck-mode sidechained to the SMPTE-timecode signal to accomplish this. But nowadays the free Muteomatic plugin is the way to go.

[@LymansLemons]

In Ableton, each track has three input settings: Input, Auto, and Off. With Auto, the track output will be on monitors only while recording or playback is paused. That gets us right to the point. If you wanted to review playback with the group and keep TB on air, you may choose Input to keep TB always on.

So while recording the mic is on?

[@raymondlooi]

Thanks man, what a good idea. TalkBack every studio needs but sometimes really hassle! I'm with Brockweston, Muteomatic is superb! May try guys! 😉

[@SonicCircuitry]

2:03 Hahaha you're getting there

[@steveg219]

Great tip!

[@RecordingStudio9]

When did you switch to Studio One?

[@matiasdg]

UHCOOSTICK! A CUE STICK!

[@perpetualgrimace]

Took me a minute. The tone track only plays and triggers the side chain of the compressor when you hit play/record.

[@tutatis96]

O just have a sustain pedal i have to press to open the mic. That works best for me

[@mitcheltheelenmusic8858]

Muteomatic will be your new friend 😎

[@pietrozikik]

Studio One + Muteomatic and you are happy.

[@andreas-franke]

Thank you for the tip. This is a good advice, but there is a much, much easier way. There is a free plugin that does it all. Just put it on the talkback mic's channel and you are done. The plugin is called Muteomatic and comes from SoundRadix: www.soundradix.com/products/muteomatic/

[@creativesoundlab]

Thanks for the tip. I have talked to those guys and they are cool. Just didn't know they had a plugin for this. Love soundradix.

[@DJILLEE]

MUTEOMATIC!! It's free and easy. Youre welcome.
