The BEST vocal chain in Studio One (using stock plugins)

[@nicrollo]

Thanks for watching! Download the preset here: www.nicrollo.com/s1-vocal-chain

How do we drag this into studio one once downloaded. I tried and it didn’t go in.

[@gvngbvngiggy]

Male rock 2 eq, male vox 2 compressor, bd limiter 30% multiband compressor, medium studio reverb, sweeten vocal delay 1.5-3%, de-esser and limiter at 0 or -1db. I used that for years on rap vocals and it sounded pretty cool.

[@FaZe_JxdyN]

where do i find the bd limiter and the studio reverb and the delay or do i gotta pay for those?

[@klaatuklaatu1]

Got your melody stuck in my head… this is just s demo run…. Ha ha

[@overlandwarentertainmentOVLWE.]

Thank you for the vid sir super

[@casdupreemusic]

I LOVE your video's! It makes sense and is totally understandable for starters like me!

[@makximumlive]

If you want anything to sound punchy, always put the compressor in the last position. Everything else has to be before the compressor. It sounds better.

[@rajaratiug]

Hey man, cool video. I'm still using studio One 5, and if I remember correctly I think there is a De Esser preset in-studio one's stock compressor. I've used it a bunch, just tweak it once you put it on a vocal

[@nicrollo]

Yeah there is! I'd never really dabbled in it but glad it's worked out for you!

[@Christian.Means.]

Great video, especially for noobs like myself. Thank you for the knowledge!! 🔥🤟😁

followed and subed within 1 second because u have kind eyes lollllllllol

[@nicrollo]

Thank you!

[@jayburd1875]

why are you putting the dsr so late in the mix? I like to de-ess earlier in the chain so compression doesn't crank the sibiliance.

[@nicrollo]

It's maybe a slightly more uncommon way to de-ess that I was told about a while ago! I've found having it last in the chain means I can make the vocal nice and bright and then hit the de-esser a lot harder than I could otherwise if it was earlier in the chain. I don't think there's really a right or wrong way to go about it though, start of chain works well too!

[@pitercosta836]

Which boom arm are you using?

[@nicrollo]

I believe it's the Rode PSA1+ Boom Mic Arm! It's great, although I need to oil mine since it's squeaky lol

[@yahboycodi]

What is an alternative we can use for Multiband Dynamics plug in because Studio One 5 Artist doesn’t have it

[@gundor1314]

Thanks mate.... appreciate your video💯🙏👍👍

No problem!

Great Well explained!

Thank you!!

[@GodisG00D777]

I’m not seeing how to drag in the free vocal preset once it’s downloaded I click on it to drag in and it didn’t do anything. Thanks.

[@nicrollo]

What version of Studio One are you using? You should be able to just drag it onto a audio channel and it'll be there (and then you can save it as a chain), or I thought if you double clicked it would automatically go into a 'Nic Rollo' chain file.

[@GodisG00D777]

@@nicrollo studio one 6. I’ll try that, thank you.

[@nicrollo]

Let me know how you go! Hopefully works :)

[@GodisG00D777]

@@nicrollo thank you for the fast reply! I’m fairly new to working with DAW’s. Have been talking about recording music for a long time but never followed through with it. Taking it seriously now trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks again! Be blessed!

@@nicrollo that did work thank you! I thought I was dragging into the channel but I wasn’t right on the channel lol.

[@officialWWM]

There’s a de Esser in the latest version. Good video.

[@nicrollo]

I'm trying it out! How do you find it?
