Ryan I would like to make guided audio meditation and Im going through all of your videos> doing my best but no easy :( I would like to make a regular guided meditation you can find on this meditation app such as Insight Timer. Would you help me?
This was bad ass, easy to follow for us non-pro audio dudes. I am a visual designer for over 35 years, and the way you walked through this worked for me. Thank you
I've been producing a podcast for this sports/music/politics blog that I started with my friends and have been dying to find engineering guidance this concise and clear. From one producer to another, thank you for being such a huge help. This is a criminally underrated channel.
Wow 😮 just found this channel and it’s already a gold mine 👌🏽 thanks so much man. Most of my questions were answered in the video/comment section. You earned a subscriber and can’t wait to see what you come out with next
This is so well explained. Also, congrats on the award! I'm in SW Ontario too and I run a podcast as well, so I always love seeing another Canuck achieving out there!!
My man, you Sir are doing God's work! Thank you for sharing this. Had no clue how to EQ my audio, now I know exactly what adjusting each frequency range actually means and what effect that has on the audio.
Just wanted to say thanks for explaining this so clearly. I was going way overboard with my FX chains, so I trimmed it right back and started again using your video as a guide and I think largely the end result was much the same, but it sounds much cleaner now, really appreciate it!
Best video I've seen for the information and the way it's communicated. As a writer of scripted, fictional content, I have to quickly learn how to do this--my producer completely flaked out--when I used to concentrate on writing the scripts and doing some voicing. It was a tremendous gut punch when I realized my pod sounded horrible and that I would have to learn how to do what an award winning producer was doing for me. But you made this easy--using your EQ curve with a few small adjustments--and it really sounds great. Thank pal!
Cool. But I still can’t find any GarageBand tutorials for complete novices. I don’t know how to find all of these extra plugins you use. Can you do this stuff with the native GarageBand features?
I realized while watching that what I love in a voice with a lot of body is a combination of that 100ish hz boost, and how that cut at about 250 hz separates the rest of the vocal from the chesty part. Going to be applying this in my voice over, might get that mic too! Thanks man.
Yep, that's the secret. Cutting out that mid really opens it up and sounds great. I try not to be too shy when cutting out the mids. Some mics really need it more than others...
Thank you so much! I just got a condenser mic, and for some reason sometimes my voice sounded unintelligible. I had tried every eq configuration I could, and nothing worked, until I used your tips. Now it sounds awesome. Thank you man!
One of the best yet on setting up audio for your podcast. This has been a huge help especially during my initial set up of my own podcast. judos my friend and thanks again.....Manny
You sir, are a wizard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It's refreshing to watch someone who is skilled pull back the curtain. Excellent instruction. You definitely deserve that WEBBY! Keep it up.
Thank you for this video! It was a great guide and reference for me to establish my own process, and that EQ secret sauce was especially helpful and worked absolute wonders on the male vocal I was working with.
You just made me really like the sound of the Re20. I always liked the sound of the sm7b but I never heard someone sound that nice using a Re20 and the people you got on the podcast sounds great using it
Oh my gooood huge difference. Cheers Ryan and thank you for the tutorial. My next venture is to snag an RE-20, but this does so much for my current microphone.
This is an amazing tutorial...I'm just starting out and was wondering about vocals and sound. You explained it in a way that makes sense and wasn't overwhelming. I've added it to my private podcast tutorial playlist. Thank you for doing this video, Ryan.
thanks for the help. i was putting too many plugins in my mix and it was coming out digitized after bouncing out of logic. your video helped me streamline my plug in stack. domo domo.
Hey Sarah, thanks! :) I don't know of any free NR plugins, I use iZotope's RX Elements, which has great plugins.If you're looking for something that is free, but not a plugin, you could go with Audacity. It has a nice Noise Reduction effect. You could record or import your raw audio file, apply the effect and export it as a WAV. I've done that for years and can't complain :) Hope that helps!
@@itsryanfreeman for sure! and congrats on the award, that's huge! Not sure how much info you have on getting a podcast out to a wider audience, but I'd love to see that video too :D
What a great video. Started doing more voice work on my youtube channel and will use this in my future videos now I have a decent mic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much for making this video. I have been blundering around with my voice setting for ages, and never been happy with them. Your approach makes great sense. Fewer effects but carefully set up. I watched your video and tried your settings. It is a big improvement for me and my next video. Of course, I used the best I could find in Logic, but I have noted the third party plugins you mentioned. Thanks again. Great stuff!
Amazing! Happy to hear that. I’m actually working on Podcast Voice presets for Logic, GarageBand & Audition. Will be available for purchase within the next few weeks! I’ll make a video about them, so be sure to subscribe.
@@itsryanfreeman Yeti is so popular. I also subscribed to Invisible City. I will listen with interest from a social and sound engineering perspective on my JBL bluetooth mono speaker :-)
Great tip on re-EQing after compression before applying the Limiter! Even though we use ECNC (EQ, Normalization, Compression, Noise Reduction) in post, for our remote podcasts we STILL occasionally get this mysterious (and annoying) residual "rattling" or "egg shaker" background sound from our guests that does not show up on the sound file but is present. What causes this, and how can we eliminate it in post (short of demanding our guests record in a dead room)?
Sorry but I’m not sure what that is... It could be in the original recording but just very quietly, then when you process your audio, you hear the subtleties more. Maybe something to do with the audio being recorded from over the internet? Just some weird artifacts..?
Overall great video, but there’s one part I question. @6:50 you’re clipping but you say that’s ok because you have the limiter on the master catching it. I don’t think this is the best advice because you’re still distorting it before it hits the limiter. The limiter will smooth that out, but wouldn’t it be better to turn the output of your compressor or the channel gain down enough so that it doesn’t clip at all, and then adjust the threshold of the limiter by the same amount? My understanding of gain staging is that you should ALWAYS avoid clipping everywhere (between plugins, on the channels, etc)
Yes, I think you’re right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We always have to be open to improving and letting people call us out when there’s room to develop. That’s why I love CZcams. As a community, we can all share and get better together. 👊🏻
@@itsryanfreeman hey no problem! I wasn't even sure I was correct, so I just wanted to see what your take on it was. Kudos for listening and considering my take. This was a quality, informative video and that one little bit being "wrong" doesn't change that. Nice work!
I've been trying to find help on editing audio on podcasts and THIS is the video I've been looking for! Goes into the nitty gritty of editing. Thanks so much for the info, it's incredibly helpful \o/
Thank you bro, from my side I can give back a suggestion to you that comes to mind - put an SPL filter on your camera, it will remove the reflections of the monitor from your glasses - if you have a smartphone, you can also find such a filter for smarphones :) (e.g moment lenses and filters). The mic is amazing, I'm using Oktava mk-319 but yours does not change the tone of the voice based on the distance from the mic, wow - I was recording some raps multiple times and I need to nail it at one moment because otherwise they don't fit due to always recording from a slightly different distance :) Once I am making money from what I'm doing I might invest in that mic!
Hi Ryan, thanks for those awesome tips!!! I just started producing a video podcast so I want to edit the audio within premiere pro. I created this order. Can you PLEASEEEE let me know if it's correct or what's the right order?. I also have Audition so if there's any other step that's better like noise reduction process with a print instead of Denoise, I can do it. (P.S: I'm using a Lav mic now, but will upgrade to a dynamic mic soon. Shooting in my non-sound treated living room) 1 --> Gain peak at -12 to -6 2 --> DeNoise 3 --> DeReverb 4 --> Dynamics Compressor (+ engage Limiter) 5 --> DeEsser 6 -->Parametric Equalizer 7 --> Hard Limiter Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Ryan! Thank you so much, I understood this tutorial perfectly fine and was able to implement the same curve on Audition and now my microphones sound SOOO much better. If you did an entire tutorial series on how to get solid audio, I'd watch the absolute hell out of it. the only bit I had a bit of difficulty with was the compression. What exactly does it do?
Thanks for the feedback! Happy to have helped you. I recently started this channel, but I'll be uploaded at least once a week with audio / music production tips and filmmaking tips... So stay tuned. I try to create content with topics that necessarily haven't been made before or of my own process / perspective. There's already a bunch of great content online about recording and mixing fundamentals. So for compression, this video should help you: czcams.com/video/91qs3fux5HY/video.html
thanks man! I checked out his series. Definitely some really great information. Congrats on the award! I already subscribed, looking forward to more from you. Cheers!
Hey ryan, found out your video and was so amaze with your sounds proccesings. I want to ask how do you set the gain on your mic? Is it by default like at 12 o'clock? Or maybe do you have another opinion. Thanks
Hey, thanks. My mic doesn’t have a gain knob. It’s plugged into my audio interface , which is where I adjust the gain/input level. You can find all the gear I use here: www.itsryanfreeman.com/pages/my-gear-list
@Ryan Freeman LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your presets! They just saved this girl HOURS and HOURS of scrambling in the abyss. Seriously, could not be happier! Our podcast sounds INFINITELY BETTER. I'm also really happy that I stumbled upon you with THIS video as my intro. I was all ready to just go try to do all of this myself, but was so sold on your methods that I just said fuck it and bought the presets! I'm about to purchase your crazy electromagnetic radiation sounds, too!
Wow! Thanks for the kind words, Kelly. Really appreciate your support and enthusiasm for the presets. I hope you like the Electromagnetic Radiation sample library! The sounds are pretty crazy haha
Do you use the plugins on the chain in your UAD console or do you apply them in logic and just go for a clean signal through your UAD, when recording your own vocals? GREAT video too this was incredibly insightful. Just bought your bundle too! Super excited to get our vocals dialed in.
Great video, fully agree with the Low pass filter for getting rid of unnecessary data and am curious as to whether or not you do the same at the other end. Looking at your analyzer a high pass filter cut off at 17.5k - 18k would probably help further eliminate noise and ess.

Ryan, will you be adding Fairlight to your list of supported DAWs?

Thank you Bjergsen

Great video, and congrats on the award! I think it would be worth covering de-essing as well, but clearly you didn't need it ;)
Can’t give away all my secrets! I did mention de-essing in the video. Defiantly worth including if you need it.
Didn't need it? Jen's sibilance is ripping my ears apart when she says "bird species".
Excellent video, thanks for the info.
No problem! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
No problem! More to come. Thanks for your time watching
This is awesome, thanks for the pointers!
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, fully agree with the Low pass filter for getting rid of unnecessary data and am curious as to whether or not you do the same at the other end. Looking at your analyzer a high pass filter cut off at 17.5k - 18k would probably help further eliminate noise and ess.
👌🏻
thanks, friend!
Very good stuff. You have educated me.
Cheers!
