I have layered a lot, sometimes using different EQ, panning, reverb. But I have not done as much comping, and even less gang singing. Thanks to your tute, I will be doing much more of the latter two. I worry I have is if this many voc tracks is going to rob me of energy and headroom for, say, bass..

I sang the harmony parts multiple times and panned them right left center. I'm going to go back record the vocals again making sure I get a dry sound going in. My foot pedals a were sending tone and reverb effects on the first run through. Your guides are so helpful. I really feel like I'm beginning to get an understanding of how to mix audio in GarageBand. Thank you!!!

Definitely used unison vocals before and they help a lot. Really liked the suggestion of 4 takes to comp the lead vocal. Harmonies can sound great but can be tricky if you’re not sure what you are doing. It’s helpful to use something like Pitchproof to create a guide that you can sing along with to create them.
@TheBandGuide2 жыл бұрын
Oooh I haven't heard of Pitchproof before! Could you tell me more about that?
@toddcollins67462 жыл бұрын
@@TheBandGuide Hey Colin - Pitchproof is a free pitch shifting/harmonizer plugin from Aegean Music. First tune the vocal you want to harmonize. Then put the tuned voacal on a new track and apply the plugin. You can pick the harmony you want - major 3rd, 5th, octave up, down, etc. This will sound robotic. To humanize it then apply the Vocal Transformer in GarageBand and formant shift it til it sounds right. You can then layer these tracks/harmonies and mix under the main vocal and most people won’t know it’s artificial. Usually I’ll do a major 3rd and 5th up and an octave down but depends on the voice. However, if you want them louder in the mix or for commercial release then you can simply use them as a guide track to have your singer sing a brand new track to. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
@toddcollins67462 жыл бұрын
Left out a couple steps - you also need to set the key within the plugin and set the effect to 100% since you are applying on a new track

I'm definitely going to try comping. As it is right now I'm going in and fixing parts as I go through my process. It' really makes good sense to do the 4 takes right off the bat and then comping them.

I like to do four takes as well but with 1) take focused on the vowels and pitch 2) take focused on timing and the consonants, almost like whispering without the breath sound 3) take focused on the attitude and one more take as a support take, harmonies or whatever spice it needs.

Awesome insider's tips! Thanks a lot. BTW, what I have done in GB so far is to loop a section of the project where I have to sing and then repeatedly have 5 to 10 or more takes. I then edit the several takes, choosing the best sub-take [may be a single or more words] to form a single main Vox. How does this approach differ from the comping method described here?
@TheBandGuide2 жыл бұрын
Great question! Very similar. I find that I can solo and switch through the tracks much easier and faster this way and I like seeing them all laid out visually. But ultimately either works! Whatever you prefer.

I put a microphone in the shower stall and screamed a chorus into it a dozen times, doubled that twice, panned those around to get a very full crowd sound. Ha. Also, I’ve recorded the same vocal take with four different mics (SM58, SM57, SM55, and a tube condenser) to pick up different vocal tones. Lots of fun trying to het the perfect take… unfortunately it all starts with a good voice. No matter what I do, I can’t compensate for poor voice. But, it’s fun trying.

@@TheBandGuide I recently stumbled into something like your multi-mic idea. I recorded the backups on a 57 with a lot of dry compression, then doubled the lead on an AKG 414. Do you guys think that if I recorded simultaneously into both mics with different channel settings on a mixing console then sent it out as a single source to my interface, that might work?

A quick question on the comping technique mate. In your example everything has been pieced together already but it was not clear to me (at breakfast time viewing)how you assembled the final product for the Perfect lead track. It didn't look like it was cut and pasted so i assume you copied the end product into a duplicate or you went through and physically joined it? Hi to Chunk btw
@TheBandGuide2 жыл бұрын
Great question, Tim! So yes- once I'm totally done and happy with a part sometimes I'll "Join" all the tracks together. But actually in this case- when you're seeing it at the end there is after I've done some subtle vocal tuning on it. And once I finish vocal tuning I solo the vocal track and export it out and then drop that new audio in so that I can save the CPU from having an active tuning plugin at all times (a total CPU hog).

@wildrosecece2 жыл бұрын
Hi, I found that you have to be in the exact same position at the mic if you do different takes to get a compilation, or otherwise you can tell it’s a different take. Also, I work on IPad that only has 32 tracks, so do all the vocals sound the same if you merge the tracks?
@TheBandGuide2 жыл бұрын
Great point- if you are closer or further from the mic, it can definitely change the tonality of the recording. It would definitely work the same in iPad! I haven't used the iOS version, so I'm not sure the exact limitations- but as long as it allows you to do a "stereo" merge, it will sound the same

How do you cope with the parts of the song which are relly loud? I set uo the gain for the loudest parts but then the verses are soooo sooooo silent 😱 otherwise they re clipping
@grantahart2 жыл бұрын
Sounds like you just need to click “A” on your keyboard, which will bring up automation, then you can crank the vocals up in the verse to your desire. Just click the line that comes up twice on either side of the verse. This allows you to then grab and drag that line up in the verse which turns up the total volume of that track. I hope this helped!
