Tone is in your mind. Having a studio for 23 years or so, doing engineering and production work for other people fairly often, I've come to realize that what people pay me for, besides the knowledge of how to do things, is my taste, whatever it is in my mind that tells me, "this sounds good."

That's the truth. They need to trust your ear. I feel like my ear is pretty good at 43 after starting in my teens. Now I'm wishing I had used ear protection more often. You fine tune your listening skills over time only to go deaf from decibel abuse in the end. Kinda crazy

When you're trying to learn what makes a great vocal chain, I suggest finding some isolated vocals. Things sound very different in the context of a mix. If you're trying to figure out how a sound is produced it's a good idea to know how it sounds by itself. In the context of a mix, you may not realize how much low end has been EQ'd out of a vocal to get it to fit with a wall of guitars. Or you may not realize just how wet a vocal actually is because the other instruments are soaking up the reverb. Or it may sound clean when it's actually saturated. Etc. You can find famous vocals all over KZbin. Just google the vocalist you want to hear and "isolated vocals" or "multitracks" or "vocals only." Then use a KZbin to mp3 converter to download it and pop it into your DAW as a reference.

A useful approach to de-essing vocals, is to use the de-esser first before the compressor, so the comp takes a good signal, then depending on what processing you have done after the compressor, it is handy to add another de-esser, so that the task is split between two de-essers, to lighten the load and do things in layers and stages.

@@mokujin29 Absolutely sure, for all the work at the BBC studios, this is what we have always done. If you are going to De-ess, it is preferable to sort the de-essing out before you compress a signal, which would in-turn only highlight the harsh signal which needed de-essing in the first place. De-essing like the SA2, is not just for de-essing either, for most TV post production, you'd be amazed how much the signal is de-essed, before it hits anything else. Most people hear a smooth high end, not realising it's de-essing that is creating the smooth high end followed by using high shelf eq. I remember doing a session with Ray Davies from The Kinks, same approach.

not saying it's the case in this video, but in quite a few mixing/mastering videos that I have watched on YT, the person will tweak a knob and act like it made a HUGE difference, and I literally cannot hear any difference no matter how many times I rewind and listen again. It makes me wonder in some cases whether it is just placebo - "I turned a knob, so therefore it sounds better" kinda thing. Or maybe its just my ears - I do have decent headphones and speakers! 🙃

I mean, I heard it. The second compression? The low end being removed? Remember too that a lot of folks will use headphones, subs, etc to focus in on low end crafting and then switch back to more neutral listening on something like ns 10s for an overall balance. Compression can be hard to hear and for as low of a ratio as the 2nd one was, it is subtle but tames the dynamics and smashes the eq a bit, hence the second eq move. I dunno, I heard it, but I agree to mix with your ears and not your eyes which is why knobs > freq analyzers every time. Cheers

I love how you touched on the way a song (like Fugees) sounds a certain way you remember in your head, but really has something different going on. I recently have heard this a lot. "Back on the Chain Gang" is an example, the drums were way different than what I think I remember. And I think it's that the bass guitar makes the drums sound way beefy and thudier than they really are.

The only time I've ever listened to pro mixes in my studio are the moments when I'm pulling in reference tracks. I've never sat down and ACTIVELY LISTENED to pro mixes on my monitors, its always in the car. Another simple yet insanely powerful piece of advice. I will have some sessions just studying good mixes without simultaneously trying to apply them to the track Im mixing.

Really worthwhile to watch! Over the last few years I've expanded from hyper invested instrumentalist to main vocalist precisely because no one else to adequately perform vocals has been available. Although that seems to have been a surprising success in the live environment, very little time has been spent trying to record and produce vocal tracks (and that can be challenging to succeed with). This video has jogged some awareness of how to deal with the situation. Many thanks!

Personally I think if you don’t low cut and clean up the low end before compression will actually mess the dynamic of vocal, I don’t understand when you say you like the low end drive the compressor? We hear more mid frequencies in vocal, so shouldn’t the compressor grab those mid and high frequencies when vocal is too loud? Instead of all the low end? Plus vocal mic can also pick up low rumbles and ground noises? So wouldn’t low cut before the compressor be a more standard approach?

Excellent tutorial Joe. I can't say my current project has parts like songs, vocals, bass, drums, guitar, etc. However, my project is a church service Livestream. I do have songs with vocals, piano, sometimes guitar, and then spoken word. I have found that by doing more or less those same steps as you've demonstrated, what I'm hearing is much better, more intelligible, balanced, and the parts sit where I think they should. FWIW I start on my Studio One 6.1 Artist with a dynamic EQ for some 5k sibilance taming. To me, this specifically is done to remove the least wanted piece of audio. Next is fast then slow parallel compression, the goal is peak taming then broad brush dynamic reduction and make up gain. I follow this with another EQ to shape things a bit more. Next to last, is some polishing with my Pulsar Mu compression and Massive EQ more for coloring than anything else. Finally is my serial limiter duo. On paper it seems odd, but I feel I've got the results I was after. I do have 3 sends that goes into this as well, delay and reverb with sidechain ducking compression, distortion, and stereo widening. PS I'm really liking this new Mac Mini M2 for my DAW. 1000% better than before. One of the biggest takeaways in this video is to focus on the whole mix, even when your edits are seemingly only affecting vocals. ☕🍩

4;45 Noticed the same thing about ‘90’s kicks. They ride atop the bass, right? Now, that’s what I make, but I definitively prefer a kick with a magic freq of 62.4hz which I do by layering an 808 semi sub tone under it. It’s inauthentic, but I feel like it would’ve been how I would’ve insisted on doing it had I made beats back then. I noticed when I first heard “Lay Low” by snoop, the kick felt like it moved my damn car SIDEWAYS! I fell in love with the energy. Was an emcee at the time and had never touched a drum machine or mixed anything, but I knew enough about headroom to think “HOW on EARTH is there enough headroom for the rest of the track to BREATHE when the kick got a$$ like dat??!?” But it did. (Hint: nuanced use of saturation to accentuate an octave up, but you’ll really have to finesse it! Multiband processing and bespoke compression! Then bounce it down. I’ve got a folder of just QueMusiQ “Thumpy Kicks”. The more true to form 93-97 era east coast higher sampled kicks are in a folder called “Vinyl Kicks”. While some do knock like the mid 2000 era Dre kicks, they break up like the 45rpm trick sampled kicks of the 90’s.) Knew a random dancer who showed up to perform with us on Soul Train just once. Don’t recall his name. He put it perfectly. This was around 99-2001 because that’s when I was on ST, right around that new heavier Bernie Grunman influenced low end sound. “It’s the whether”, he said. “West coast is more car based subs and fancier cars with aftermarket stereos. In LA, y’all really don’t ride subways. “EAST coast is colder, so even if we are in cars, the windows are up and we’re more focused on warmth. Otherwise, it’s trains and headphones.” So at that time, we didn’t have all these Beats and Sony hyped up over the ear 🎧 type gadgets. If you were ballin, you had the $179 Sony MaxBass buds that were stolen immediately. Most folks had mid tier buds or whatever came with their discman or Walkman. The kicks HAD to be higher and more present to hold the riddim. Now? Everything is influenced by a lo-fi, lpf 9th Wonder kick, Dibia$e SP-404 sound, which suggests a thumpier kick, and that permeates the urban genre. Not to mention trap went smooth OFF circa 99-2004, into trap soul, lex Luger sounds, then dubstep and edm, kicks made entirely with Massive- NOW? Same general idea, but drill and grime has taken the Sub 808 tone, and compressed and distorted them to within an inch of their lives, not unlike ‘90’s era urban tracks with the DJ Premier/Havoc-esque lowmids focused vinyl sampled kicks. Full circle.

You can use 2 de-essers for vox. One before the first compressor and one at the end of the chain, after any other compression or exciters. That way it tames some of that sibilance going into the first compressor, as compressing will bring those sibilances out. And you don't have to push one de-esser too hard.

I was more live sound than recording. At the very bottom of the effects racks back in the analog days (to sort-a hide them from the how is he getting that sound eyes) was two Aphex Aural Exciter 103 Type C processors, three blue face Orban 526A Dynamic Sibilance Controllers (de-esser), and three blue face unknown model Orban tube type photo eye compressors. Orban was huge in radio and TV studios and super high end and even more super expensive, but back I when was buying and using them they were just considered "old stuff". If you get on E-Bay and check the prices of "old stuff" Orban gear... you will be shocked. Still very expensive and still very sought after. And, I'd stack their 245f Stereo Synthesizer against anything new out there. It was used back in the day to "stereoize" mono records for broadcast. I had many people say the vocals when I ran sound at concerts really sizzled, really punched through the mix. THAT was the Aphex in combination with the tube type photo eye compressors. The big digital mixers have a fake Aphex and fake photo eye compressors (don't know about the plug-ins).... but I have found they actually sound NOTHING like the original analog units. Ears are shot now, from running sound at too many high db concerts with no headphones... so I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Hearing aids help with the high frequency loss, but not all of it. Protect your ears people... you only have one set of them.

Yeah the 2nd compressor makes it lay in there beautifully. And yes the vocal could be a touch louder . I think it's a bit wet with the Slap back but I'm definitely gonna try the comp first . I usually EQ then do 2 compressors. One thing I do first is D-ess . I find I don't have to eq as much sibilance out dynamically . Then I'll put another instance of D-esser last also. I heard you say you used a Dynamic mic. That's strange I just picked up a used Beyer Dynamic at Guitar center for 27 $ today. It sounds Incredible. I can see it sounding better than my Mojave Tube condenser and SM7B for certain things. Honestly , I figured for 27$ I could throw it out if it completely sucked. I'm so glad I got it. What did you use SM7B?

3 weeks ago glad 2 b a fresh sub thanks so much bro. if someone can confirm this for me it'd be great. so, from my understanding of the eq, it is to shape and fix and or enhance the sound, like using salt (or other herbs or seasonings (as other eq related plug-ins)) in a stew to to either "fix it" or add more flavor. too little is bland, too much is inedible. As for compression, the term "gluing" is applied due to the way it condenses (or binds) the signal (in this case the vocal) and evens the volume of the loudest and softest parts, and each compressor would have it's own personality (as if each compressor may be compared to a the grip of a hand, i.e. someone with a larger hand may have a more effective grip but may end up crushing the more delicate parts of the aspect in question (perhaps like an optical compressor) and maybe a smaller hand may have a less apparent grip objectively (not relating to strength or firmness as each compressor may be adjusted as such) but may bring out more of the subtler, finer essences of the aspect in question, (perhaps a tube or FET compressor?)) Either way we may say it is the tools with which the stew is prepared with, correct? As in, a grill vs stovetop, stainless steel vs cast iron, (would go as far to say temperature) may bring a different flavor profile or sound to the mix yes? Proper use of these aspects creates good sounding food? wait.

The only reason your guitar simile breaks is because tone is subjective and each person's hearing besides being objectively different is also subjectively different. Therefore tone is talked about in how you ATTAIN it and not WHAT IT IS. And that's why "tone is in your fingers" is totally valid and NOT subjective because your fingers are literally the first thing that affects tone - how you pick, where you pick, what you pick with etc. But that's guitar. There is no vocals equivalent to guitar tone theory because of the way the tone is made. On the other hand you saved me a sh•t ton of time on my vocals mixing from noodling just by using your basic schemes!! 🎸

Butter vox does make a difference.. Smooth like butter.. slight bit of sibilance at that point.. Watching on and maybe you address that ..

If it's not in the fingers why does Jeff Beck sound so much better than 99.9% of everybody else playing a strat and a Marshall with no pedals?

No way sounds better after theEQ, lost clarity, impact, and sounds more distant
