I literally just finished your Phoebe video and was totally blown away! Killer work, pumped to work my way through your videos and watch whatever you put out next :)
seems to be some super bright parallel comp and super heavy reverb, likely with a lot of automation to keep some clarity. I don't listen to Grimes at all so this is just on first listen. May include her in a future video though!
I think it could be a mistake to process two tracks in a stereo group. Let's say you use one (stereo) compressor: it will react to the loudest parts of any of the tracks you combined. A loud part in one track might duck a softer part in the other track. It would be better to compress each separate track. If you're worried about cpu: bounce the processed audio down.
True, but also for this type of application where you’re trying to make 2-3 vocals sound like one, that can actually work to your advantage. There’s some processing you have to do on individual channels though like autotune cause it’s monophonic, I should’ve clarified that. What I do now is individual processing for the lead vocal to have 100% control, then bus processing for all backing vocals. Seems to do the trick!
Dude, this is amazing! You're incredible I would love to hear you talk about how you approach creating harmonies. Do you do it by ear or do you follow any specific rules?
great question! although i do have a theory background, i like to create them by ear just by improvising and then reworking things until it sounds right

Not if you use a compressor where you can unlink the left and right channels and then the compression works independently of each other. 😊

How do we know when to use mono and stereo? I’m never sure
