    Awesome content Austin and your song sounds awesome! To recap, this is what you'll learn in this tutorial:
    (1) "reverse vocal" riser with reverb and long-tail trick with fade-in
    (2) duplicate main vocal on stereo track and use auto-tune to pitch copy down an octave, filter out lows/highs and send it to reverb/delay (adds depth)
    (3) high vocals that widen (track these) and make them really wet, really auto-tuned , widens (adds depth)
    (4) add vocal-shouts/percussive elements (hits, breaths, "what"); helps with pacing of the song, helps move track along, more organic vs electronic
    (5) ad-libs (many different ways to effect them: Migos style, crunchy etc.); acts as a space filler, texture and depth and gives energy
    (6) getting tight harmonies (actually track them), octave above or below, a 3rd or 5th
    (7) triple-tracking main melody; makes everything sound wider, fuller and crisp (middle, left and right takes). Add characters.
    ***NOTE: Keep verses minimal and only triple-track the chorus to make it sound bigger***
    (8) delay-throw: only have the delay on the words that you want to have the delay on;
    ***BONUS TIP*** Sometimes main vocal is copied, put a doubler on it and throw a reverb on it 100% wet with a different reverb from the main vocals***
    (9) blackbear effect (vocal formanting): using a knob on auto-tune to automate the formant
    (10) ... and the last tip "the saucy vocal," has to do with his personal choice to stylize in a particular way to match the feel of his song, watch it at 18:45
    This was for me... but I'm sure others may find it useful :)

    Yessss!! I've been looking for ways to spice up my vox a bit, thank you thank you 🖤

    Your channel is incredible. The content and production quality is great, but you really nail the pacing. Some things go by fast but you don’t miss anything and most importantly you don’t waste any time! These qualities are so rare with this type of content it seems, I really appreciate all the work you put in.

    THIS IS THE BEST VOCAL PRODUCT IVE EVER SEEN ON CZcams! IVE SPENT MONTHS OF LOOKING FOR VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! THE SOUND IS AMAZING ALL THE ELEMENTS, ITS BRILLIANT!!!

  • @KonnerScottMusic
    @KonnerScottMusic Před 4 lety +2

    How does this channel exist and how is it not more popular? I found it last week and have been binge watching your videos. I've seen a noticeable improvement in my pop production in that time. Thank you for all the amazing work and information!

  • @jamirajamira7303
    @jamirajamira7303 Před 5 lety +8

    I think the reverse reverb vocal was first popularised by Trance in the late 90s when it started to go mainstream, but it's good to hear it's still used today.

    Super glad I found this video for two reasons.
    - This is exactly the guidance and tutorial I’ve been looking for.
    - This song is fire.
    It’s really cool to listen to your song after knowing how you built it. Makes studying the sounds a whole different story. Thanks man!!

  • @VLdrum
    @VLdrum Před 5 lety +1

    Great tips! As an LA producer, I can say this is exactly what the current hits are doing, even down to the signal chains. Soundtoys’s Alterboy is also super popular for the hi and low vocals for a different color than what autotune gives. Great track too!

  • @ricardobarbosa3727

    I'm not even through the video but I have to leave a comment already because I simply enjoy listening to your explenations that much. In the last few months I watched a lot of CZcams-Tutorials about music production and studio equipment and today was the first time watching one of yours. It ist just suche a relief listening to your structured explanations, compared to the amount of crappy videos among the internet.
    You don't talk so damn slow I would want to listen to you in double speed if it wasn't a music tutorial and this is really relaxing. Also you just say what you wanna say instead of spending hours talking about things not being the point right now. Your examples are well-chosen, it is easy to hear what's your point about an example you give in your production and everything you explain about your editing on it and your desicions in the production process is on point, short and easy to understand.
    Thank you very much for your video. I am sure I will spend hours watching your tutorials 😄

    Amazing video Austin thanks for sharing your insight. I tried the reverse vocal tip and followed carefully all your suggestions. I'm not getting a smooth rise effect though often the syllable is just a sharp echo that sticks out. Yours sounds like a vowel (choir) sound. If you have any more tips on this or if anyone else does I'd appreciate it.
