Say Lil brother can I ask something strange... well do something strange. I wanna introduce my self and seriously wanna be friends. I'm gonna make a short video for you where I just wanna tell you a little about my self. I wanna ask some questions and I think I'd like to maybe come to some agreements and I want you to work with me.. nothing more than help me produce a record and as far as independent you seem to know what to do with it and etc when it's done. I'd like to work some things out to get you to work with me. Would it be kool to just make you a video? You aughta get a good amount of my subs and friends from it just visiting you and get you some numbers off it, some new subs and etc. But I'm not interested in the industry. Or any of its trash. I whole heartedly believe I have a records worth of songs that would do very well independently and I'm just not interested in working with "them" ya know what I'm saying. I just wanna tell you my story and get you to hear some scratch tracks or samples and see if you'd be interested and available to knock it out with me.. I can assure ill be a easy project because I can engineer, compose and produce the tracking no problem. I don't want a team or a deal or a bunch of dudes telling me what I need to do to produce this record.. I just want me and you and I've got some other musicians already ready to go. I can track the music man.. I just need help with the mix and master copy and want someone just like you who can work on that with me and knows what to do with it when we are done.. I have a wild story and feel it's relevant to introduce myself and maybe work out whatever it's gonna take to get you to do this with me. You need the productions under your belt and a you know how it works by now. You need a resume of projects you've done. I really believe me and you can kick this out and I'm set up and good enough at tracking and etc to make this extremely easy on you. Would you be kool with me just making a short video to give path for an introduction and a chance to kinda explain what I think I'd like to do.

[@Chupacabramusic]

Either way you got nothing to loose and it'd only help your number atleast some by sending traffic your way

[@Chupacabramusic]

The blanket analogy was always used back in the days to describe a bbe sonic maximizer with a good preamp before it. That's what the entire old skool industry would say about a guitar amp rigged with this in the chain.. I haven't heard anyone say that in over a decade.

[@ProducingInTheBox]

The 882i Sonic Maximizer? I never got my hands on one haha. Always thought they were neat tho! Only 2 channels if I remember right.

[@Chupacabramusic]

@@ProducingInTheBox yeh man.. some people hated that damn thing and some swear by it... me, I totally still have one and use it pretty much on any audio signal. I walked off from Music for a decade angry and hurt and just recently picked it back up after a string of life happened all over the place... i had to start over and that damn thing is prob the only single piece of equipment that still worked after all those years.. lol

[@ProducingInTheBox]

@@Chupacabramusic Welcome back to music! I’m sorry you went through all that!

[@Chupacabramusic]

@@ProducingInTheBox well shit man.. thanks.. lol Na I appreciate it bro.. I could tell watching your vids that you likely come from a good home and someone has invested alot of the right things into you.. I never gave a flying shit about being a youtuber so I like to spend what time is mine watching the most human channels I come across.. it's crazy how many people do not have those characteristics. Consideration, courtesy, respect.... etc.. I was curious so I downloaded your presets for vocals. They are good man.. good foundation or starting point for prob anyone... I just got my daw and comp back up recently and everything I've been doing was done with a couple old moto cell phones... ya know on a phone there is no playback so I was blind. Its nice to have studio one back. Geez I just got monitors a few days ago.. bro I was doing this all kinds of the hard way but it was all I had.. lol.. I appreciate the time and effort you've put in your content.. I'm relearning everything after a lot of years.. and it gets old watching dudes who think their hot shots or even worse the dudes are totally hotshots! Lol... you can just see where the industry creates a specific frame of mind in these guys. Creates arrogance. Etc.. I could give a flying fajita about some industry turkey using his status to pedal a youtube channel.. keep doing opposite of what you see them do and maybe you'll be alright bro...

@@Chupacabramusic that’s the goal! If I thought what I saw on KZbin was everything someone in our space needed, I wouldn’t have started my channel! There’d be no point. Thank you for watching, honestly! I hope you continue to find value out of all my videos. My goal is to have the best education in my space on this subject. No matter what tools someone uses! At the end of the day, all that matters is the results people get. My credibility means nothing (unless of course someone wants to know if they can listen to me 😂) but even then. Just listen to the music I make. If you think it’s good, stick around! If not, no hard feelings. That’s been my goal since the beginning!

[@babblfish8038]

my new loved chanel ... love that you just hit the information and not much bla bla and you are super structured and not tooooooo much emotional like so much other here

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Thank you!!!

[@musole7104]

Thank you so much for this great content. Your explanations are so easy to understand even for a beginner like me.

[@amitabhaelliott]

Big difference, but not a fair comparison because of the huge volume drop when plugins off.

[@johndavidtice]

Agreed. I'd love to hear it with matched volumes. Kinda NEED to hear it with matched volumes.

[@MonkeyBars1]

yep, shows fundamental lack of gainstaging savvy, no need to watch more

[@nico-zh4eo]

In your vocal bus you say you got one main vocal and two on the left and another two in the right. But in your mixer you only have one left and one right all the other are centered. Maybe you use a plugin to pan it on the side ?

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Whoops I made a mistake haha. I have one in the left, one in the right and then 2 up the middle to thicken up the main vocal 😂 nice catch!!!

[@LeakBallHighlights]

Nice 🔥

[@JakeyWakey]

You gotta cut the hi and de ess before going into fresh air...or just not use it. 🤷‍♂️

[@rjjrdq]

volume matching.

[@ericdavids2693]

Hi, can I ask you what computer specs you have?

[@ProducingInTheBox]

I have a Ryzen PC Build! Built it myself. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 (6 Core 12 Thread 4.0ghz CPU) 32GB of RAM (4 Sticks of 8GB so I can utilize multichannel) 2, 1TB SSDs, and an ASUS B450-F Motherboard. My graphics card is OLD tho haha. Repurposed from another build. It's a GTX 970. Works great for everything I use it for! Not much of a gamer anymore

[@ericdavids2693]

OK Thnx!

[@Chupacabramusic]

@@ProducingInTheBox yeh man I did the same sorta.. I just picked up a decked out gamers pc to handle the software smooth... makes a big damn difference when it's over stacked to handle everything without worry.. the only thing mine does is this... nothing else.. just a work horse...

[@thomasricks5737]

Do you give lessons

[@ProducingInTheBox]

I do! I actually have a full fledged vocal mixing course that is currently open for enrollment right now! It closes this Saturday so if you’re interested, you can check it out here! www.producinginthebox.com/basic-to-pro-vocal-production-bootcamp I also have a bunch of free guides you can download! Thank you for watching my content and I’m glad you’re getting value out of it!

[@Russplight]

Nice, you definitely need to level though

[@firstmile]

Do you use Vocalign? Or is it unnecessary?

[@ProducingInTheBox]

I usually do everything manually! VocAlign is a great tool tho

[@amitabhaelliott]

I'd suggest checking out FAME reverb. IT.IS.A.GAMECHANGER!

[@ProducingInTheBox]

I'll look into it!
