I actually love to mono the vocal ambience and then side chain it to the source vocal...keeps the ambience out of the way of the guitars and prevents it from washing out the source vocal, so it just pops into the gaps and the ear functionally recognizes it the same way as a sloppier ambience.

Bro u deserve a lot more subs for thsese free guides and tutorials ur the waves man!

[@ryanfishel9394]

You've become on of my favorite channels, Bobby! You always tackle relevant topics and have good applications. First time I realized delay works well into reverb was when Waves put out the CLAEpic plugin. I often just go with one of CLA's presets -- because the plugin still intimidates me, though it sounds great. But you really broke down a simple path here to put in my own setup. So thanks for that! I'll try to get that reverb to "glue" the delay on the next project.

[@dragosgrigorescu806]

Hey Bobby. Greetings from Romania! Many thanks for the tricks you share and the very concise and structured way in which you present the information. Your "secrets" are actually very practical and incredibly helpful for people like me, who learned tons of things out of passion, but without a clear path. KZbin is abundant in audio production tutorials, but sometimes I watch a video for 10 min, only to realize I there was absolutely nothing in that material. It has never been the case in your work. Keep it going!

Love this...thanks. Like usual awesome info. What song is this?

[@E-1K]

This is really interesting.

[@JoyfulWAVE]

Im doing it more your way....i would have used a different reverb for the delay...a bigger room but only like 30-50% level. If you want really strong delay without ruin your vocal then use a sidechain compressor on the delay and let the delay do its job when no vocal is playing. This way you don't lose too much clarity...but you still have a strong delay. 😉

[@joshrainbow-IceTenor]

Absolutely top videos Ray - I have a question for recording operatic tenor voice or even sopranos in a home studio. Would you use the same approach using all these different delays and reverbs - compressing, EQ (as I saw you do in a previous video) or would you leave the vocal more natural (using a orchestra track, or piano) I know opera voices are mostly recorded in a place where there is natural reverb, and I seen they use multiple microphones to record the voice - what happens after the recording when the engineer is going to work is a mystery. It seems most people make videos on modern vocals but not on classical vocals. Maybe an idea to be the first 🙂- Another question is about microphone. I think I am in need of a new microphone there mine is over 20 years old. I was thinking about the DLX UAD Sphere mic there is also offers a stereo option - would that be a good choice recording opera voices and of course modern voices? Does the stereo option mimics the 2 or even 3 mics they use on opera voices? When I record my voice it sounds so diminished, locked up in a box, and without power, the opposite of what my voice really is. It could be adding your delay ideas and reverb ideas it becomes better or it is the charteroak mic I have that may be not that good anymore and that create the diminished sound. Long question but I know you can help me onto the right path to improve on classical vocal recording so the vocal in the mix sounds powerful, smooth, and having this freedom in the music...Thanks in advance
