I am sure far most agree with me here. When width is created via sends, it tolerates mono greatly - no phasing issues what so ever. It does in worst case just disappear in mono, or attenuated. If one creates width let's say from the whole bus/channel itself, it can often sound terrible in mono. Sends for width is pretty much the best and only way to go.

Good tutorial but I think we would really benefit from some gain-matching since the 'After' result is louder. The before is just too quiet in comparison to make any real assumptions about what this chain is doing right. Obviously adding compression and doubling and reverb is going to help a vocal stand out from the mix and its clear that that's being achieved, but then again so would raising it's gain, so subjectively I think it can get hairy without giving us a loudness-matched reference.
@SDOTPOPPA2 ай бұрын
The after affect is a tighter more upfront vocal which gain staging wouldnt do bro. He level matched as he mixed as you see from the start as he adjusted the input he adjusted the output as well. Seems to be louder but thats what a compressor does to a vocal. It tightens the signal coming into it and gives it the effect that its more present . The volume increased maybe 2 DB from its peak. Turn a non treated signal up 2 DB and see how much better it sounds in the mix.

@SDOTPOPPA2 ай бұрын
If you look at the send he has the parallel compressor on he has the volume of that send turned all the way down. When you send the track 100% to the aux send you adjust the volume on the aux send to balance the level of the output of that signal and retain the amount of signal being processed. He basically had it playing with no affect at first and dailed in the volume of the effect on the signal after setting the levels on the compressor to where he wanted them

You don't always have to EQ things just to EQ things. Some tracks don't require treatment at all, including compression. This is also a testament to the thought put into the "front end." If you get it right at the source, then you don't have to "fix it in the mix."

That's not what the "chromatic" setting does on Tune Real-time. At all. And I'm listening to this on my mono phone backstage.

Great question! I would set the release to the performance of the vocal 100% of the time... If you have a fast rap vocal, going faster on the release will allow it to pump to the vocal phrasing. There's no hard/ fast rule here, just hit the compressor hard to hear it, then set the release to where it sounds most musical to you.
