Vocal Processing That Works Everytime !

[@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

[@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

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

[@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

[@kemsito]

Thanks a lot for the video @Streaky!

[@Pulse2AM]

I think that boost at 1.2k added to her already nasally vocal tone, I would go higher like 2k - 2.2K. The nasal range for female vocals is between 750-1300 Hz.

[@SpiritualGuitar94]

Sir, have my subscription. Exactly what I have been looking for. First I only saw your shorts, and that was straight to the point. And after seeing the first longer video of yours, I must thank you. It's easy understandable, the editing is on point. One can hear what your talking about, not just dry talking and incoherent examples. It's so well put, and I will watch every video of yours! Thank you so much for freely sharing your gift! 🎉 much respect.

[@bryantsimpson5060]

Man those vocals where already perfect.those plugins barely affected the sound.they need to show how they set up these preamps and all the outboard gear used ro get the sound

[@Verbose_5]

100% vocal at the beginning sounds good asf 💀

[@morfiusuk]

What was the recording chain for her vocals please?

[@lachlangrantmusic]

Thank you Streaky, you have helped me heaps bro. Cheers

[@Diamondblend]

noticed you have sidechain off. is it not needed on?

[@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.

[@RealityShiftUK]

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

Those vocals are really brightened up greatly.

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

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

[@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

[@garyshirinian]

Thx for sharing. Question. What make are those speakers you have in the background. Thx

[@jonesy5185]

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

[@flyoverfredusa]

another great tutorial, nice one Streaky much appreciated

[@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.

[@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.

[@quincydavaughn]

Golden comment 👏🏾

[@Wispano__]

Could you do a video on processing a full dry vocal using Xvox

[@VIC-20_Synthwave]

Got 'em!!!

[@cantbejellis]

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

amazing!! Love the instruction Streaky!

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! ❤

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.👍

[@louiewgroenewald]

What is the effect on the vocal that makes it sound they sung the song through a fan? Almost like a doubling/chorus effect.

[@marktywharton]

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

[@goldmundbyrne7075]

Hahaha. yes, I’ve heard the other song a lot of times now, lol, made me chuckle, hehe. Right, back to the video!

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!

[@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.

[@Lennie_peled]

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

[@ShaunCosmos]

damn man thank you, my mix is so clean and heavy now

Wooow that's beautiful

[@brahimghribi3534]

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

[@Mr.K_Artist]

Perfect

[@musicmaestrodj]

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

[@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!?

[@StargateMax]

That was a funny beginning, I actually rolled my eyes, LOL! That makes me a regular, lol!

[@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 😂

[@yokelectronic]

Superb as always.

[@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.

[@ohzenn]

Any recommendations for free plug-ins similar to track spacer?

[@Streaky_com]

Sorry not if the top of my head

[@ThalesPosella]

You can use any compressor that has a side-chain option. What you do is place the compressor at the end of the FX bus chain. Set it to side chain with the input from the vocal bus and choose the threshold/ratio/attack/release of compression you want. That's exactly what the Track Spacer is doing behind the curtains. I use Ableton's stock compression for this and works beautifully.

[@kelvindelr]

No just give it a try

[@walkensauce]

Why don’t you use the mix knob on the compressor instead of a parallel bus?

[@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?
