This man has a greater skill than vocal mixing. He can listen to his own vocals without cringing
oh man, I´ve cringed for years haha
@@PaulHers the legend himself (i think)
I was exactly the same, up until i recorded a verse drunk and showed it to others (also drunk lol)
And since then, the cringe almost vanished (still kinda there, but like 1 or 2/10 cringe)
@@LCH.RawMan well that's one solution for sure lol
...anyone can with that much of autotune and post, you know. Just saying.
When I sing, it sounds like a dolphin trying to communicate with a donkey that it just ate.
Well mine sound like a nuke explosion
I mean most of the artist has that problem 😂
thats, uhh, oddly specific lol
Pathetic, mine sounds like a chimpanze ripping and tearing rats open.
do i see a fellow cuber?

Thank you for this! I can go back and forth from this video and immediately go where I want
Hey 👋 I'll gladly mix or master you song/track. Feel free to contact me at Instagram, or comment on some of my videos so we could contact each other.
Am I the only one who can't stop staring at the mouse and keyboard?
nope
Lol😂
Nope same😂
you read my mind
yes, very nice keyboard
Paul: idk music theory
Also Paul: I'm gonna plot the melody that I sang on the piano and figure out the key.
Wel he did say B major while the song is actually in Ab minor (relative minor).
You can literaly hear the song with a minor feel (it even starts and ends on a minor chord: Ab Minor) But thats not a big issue because while working with Autotune, a C Major or A Minor can be used wthether the song is in a major or minor key.
@@terrancegreen3491 maaan!!
Literally
haha thought the same, I was lie okay and what I understand then
If you can't figure out the difference in notes and keys you're gonna have a real bad time trying to do anything other than copy other peoples samples and put drums on them (90% of modern "producers")
WOW PAUL IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER ..you’ve choosen the right person for this Jonas.
Thank you!! This was a lot of fun!
of course...
@@PaulHers Thanks for sharing the knowledge, bro! Very mind blowing!
Yeah so straight forward to the point and engaging. Defo should do more.

BEST vocal production tutorial on youtube. period.
Appreciate that! 🔥
This was all explained extremely well. This is the best vocal mixing tutorial I’ve ever seen
Thank you!! 🙏
Maybe I should start singing on my own tracks now! 🤔
So you would never use sample packs anymore!
just kidding i love you tungevagg
I see you everywhere. Can I have a signature lol
@@Uplocks hahah!
@@Spectress hey 👋
Yeah! That Will Be Great😂
Now I cant stop hearing the high pitched vocal lmao
It’s so fascinating to see how much of effort goes into making a song that’s about 3 to 3 n a half mins long. I thank all the sound engineers from the bottom of my heart for giving this finished product to our ears.
✊🙌🏻
I mean, dont see it about the time it is long, see it as all the money it will make haha
The people who disliked are the producers that wanted to keep these tips secret.
the secret sauce they say
Not really..
@@BAMAROSE take a joke
Paul Hers NEEDS to make a CZcams channel. Have looked for him everywhere but never found anything :( would definitely follow this guy.
Maybe I will, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
@@PaulHers you should make one...
@@PaulHers Please do! You explain everything super well, and are a really good teacher!
@@PaulHers I believe in Paul supremacy
czcams.com/video/FA-SM3dnIWY/video.html
Jonas Aden always tells what a great guy Paul Hers is, so I am really excited for this video!
Yes
I learned so much from This 👍🏻🔥🔥
@@thisisamirmusic how did you get verified as an artist channel?
This is one of the 'REALEST' tutorials you'll find, this shows how some professionals actually produce vocals for chart topping songs. There are no fixed rules. Thank you very much for making this tutorial and explaining your process from start to finish, I really picked up a few things from this.
Appreciate you!
50 HOURS MORE? Im good, ill pay someone to do this, hats off to all the Professional Engineers yall deserve your flowers for putting the hours in.
I love how in the intro the camera is just slowly falling backwards the whole time.
i laugh hard xd ty
That is quite an eye
damn, this is probably the best vocal mixing tutorial on YT :).
good job and thanks for making it
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Hey, mix vocals for the low. I have a fast turnaround and allow as many revisions as you need. Contact me on ig for more details sidney.gilliamjr
Definitely 🔥♥️♥️
what progrm does he use in this video?
@@YouKnowTheBiz FL studio
This is simply a masterclass in how to record and mix vocals. I've paid thousands of dollars for people to record vocals, who I now realize had no clue what they were doing. Thank you.
In the next six months I hope to be able to share a few songs. The style is different (symphonic metal, with touches of Blind Guardian, Maiden, and early Priest). Your video will be a blueprint for how I'll approach recording and mixing my vocals.
If we ever meet, I owe you a nice bottle of signle barrel whiskey.
A few things to add (especially interesting if you are on a budget):
- The lower sensitivity of a dynamic mic is "global", so while the room noise is lower, your vocal - or any other signal you record - also is going to be lower.
That being said, you will still find to have less room in your recording over a large diaphragm condenser (LDC) by a dynamic mic for following reasons:
1. Dynamic microphones respond a little less to higher frequencies, where usually a good amount of room reflections "live" in.
2. Dynamic microphones often have a little bit tighter Polar pattern than LDC's, meaning the sides are picked up less, and you'll again have reduced the reflections a little bit.
Also, smaller diaphragms in general have a more "stable" polar pattern, meaning that while LDC's are almost omni mic's at lower frequencies (the lower the frequency the wider the pickup), smaller diaphragms will stay much more directional throughout the whole frequency range.
3. Often, people simply sing a bit closer into dynamic mics, as some like to use the proximity effect in dynamic mics to get a "grounded", dark tone. That difference in distance to a LDC's makes a huge difference in room sound.
4. I cannot confirm this, and I haven't really found any research in this, so I'm currently preparing research for my own video on this: Wether or not dynamic mics have something of a "threshhold" at which the heavier diaphragm construction just doesn't generate enough electricity / or just doesn't move enough to generate enough of a signal - meaning that below a certain level, sounds are not picked up, eliminating very low energy sounds like faint room reflections. I'm visiting the Lewitt Headquarters after the lockdown, and will try to make a nice video on this theory, for anyone interested in nerding out on this subject.
- Instead of automating, you can also use a dynamic EQ to eliminate harsh frequencies and room resonance. Automating the EQ can provide more precise results though, so it depends on the situation. It's a good timesaver though, and in live engineering it's the best you'll get in many situations ;)
- For the delay, you can also sidechain the delay by (in FL Studio) adding the peak controller, and linking the volume of the delay. Also W.A. Productions Mutant Delay has a built in sidechain aswell, even bigger timesaver. These options do once again reduce flexibillity though, so it always depends on situation aswell.
- Too big of a topic to go into detail now, but also have a look at (Harmonic) Exciters and Saturation (tape and tube saturation to name two). This is especially interesting at the recording stage, working with real tube preamps and using their harmonic distortion to your advantage. (Generally, the right preamp to the right microphone does a LOT to your sound).
If you want a real budget start at this, the Behringer Mic500 is a tube-pre for 50€, that actually does help getting rid of some cheap mic harshness, and add interesting color to your sound, if you replace the tubes with some better ones, it actually sounds quite good. It's definitely not pro-level gear, but a nice baby step into the world of analog sound.
- For a VERY good budget alternative of his setup, have a look at the Lewitt LCT 440 or even 240 for an even more budget variant, and use the MOTU M2 interface, as that has very good preamps and A/D converters at a much lower price than the UAD. (You won't have the dsp of the UAD though). Another really good interface is the SSL 2(+) with -what I know of- the lowest EIN (noisefloor) in that pricerange.
You still can get pretty good results at even much lower price with a cheap Behringer interface, and a Superlux E205 (this is actually a very, very decent microphone for 40€, that I'd recommend to anyone that doesn't already have a pro collection of mics, in some specific situations, I even prefered using this one over the Lewitts or even my C414's), but of course, you can't expect the same performance as a 2k setup with this.
Can’t wait to see that video :)
@@theblackphoenix6498 Thank you for subscribing! :) It'll take a while, since I have a few projects and there's a whole bunch of live gigs coming up again this summer, but it's a question I've been burning to answer since a long while, so I hope I get to answer that question soon enough :P
@@perkeleman1265 I’ll sub too, you really know your stuff and I can really appreciate that even if the comment didn’t blow up :/
्््ऐअअ्॰
The only thing I have to say ab this is that sometimes it’s good to not have “leveled” vocals that volume in your voice can add a punchy sound depending on what you’re going for it adds emotion as long as you don’t clip and the section that’s quieter isn’t too quiet you can add a limiter drop the ceiling and raise the gain… also if your having problems with sound reduction try adding a gate while recording although that can cut out what I said before it’s still a couple helpful things To fix a budget mic and home studio session (I’m not professional I haven’t been to classes or anything my dad grew up being in a band and he taught me a couple things he’s learned I just watch how he does things)
Me: I would need the slate microphone to get the best sounding vocals
Jonas: "So I sang into my iphone and it sounded trash but I still kept it because I was lazy to record it once again."
Jonas gets his track signed by the label.
Me on the other hand: I give up.
iPhones have pretty good microphones. Almost every beat by Internet Money that has an accoustic guitar was recorded on an iPhone (eg. lemonade)
Relate
Definitely don’t want a slate microphone.

To be fair it doesn't matter what quality your stuff is if it sucks lol
This was basically a mini course for free...it had a lot of production tips as well as mixing tips. Super appreciative to have viewed it.
You can’t fail to watch till the end; This is classic.😊
Love!
Finally, someone that gives us a little more detail! I do a lot of these things too and it's very fun to see your vocals transform. This guy is a proper artist foreal!
thank you!
This guy does 100 times more vocal processing than i will ever do, and than says it isn't like finished yet.🙄
😂
Same here
yep....thats how modern day mixing/music works...get with it or get left behind...this guy is just using the tools at his disposal to remain competitive in this industry and amassing a legitimate following while probably making a decent living and is still kind enough to give out knowledge hes gained through years of practice, dedication, and hardwork to a new generation of producers hoping to make their love lucrative...and hes doing that for free, solely for the love of the game.....while youre sittin here being pretentiously condescending about the fact that you arent utilizing anything/everything you can to improve your art...idk man, maybe thats why he has 240k+ subscribers and you have, well, 4.
There's a difference between "Classic/Old Skool" and "Outdated"...just saying
@@sushii4225 it's not that serious dude. He was actually giving him a compliment at the end of the day.
@@sushii4225 reading this seems like petty comment. Comment with a compliment. Good luck to everyone out there pursuing something worthwhile.
“That energy from the pee is going to hit directly into the mic and cause a very bad recording.”
Voacauliste
I think this is the best vocal mixing video out here
This mans must be protected at all cost. This was next level, I feel bad for not paying for this master class.
thank you!!
Jonas has his hair different today
I have music content check me out
the video hasn't started yet, but I know it will be super useful
jonas aden's videos are the only ones i watch for 30minutes straight from start to finish...who agrees with me
The level of attention to detail here is incredible. Automating subtractive EQ for particular words, something most people just wouldn’t take the time to do
Let's see! :D

I mean I should do that too🤦♂️
What app does he use
Which software are you using for editing audio?
@@DidYouGrasp I think Audacity..😎
I always thought music production takes a long time and is tons of hands on work. Seeing this video makes me realise that vocal production is equally as much work. Thanks a lot Jonas and Paul for these insights. So much substance and so effortlessly explained. You Guys rock
I'm amazed of how this QUALITY knowledge is given to us mortals for FREE. Can't find the ways to thank you as I'm starting to produce music and work with vocals.
Hope you win the lottery of life, pal!
thank you so much!!
Wtf jonas you're crazy.... you're giving away all i mean ALLLL the techniques used by almost all big producers for free.... you're freaking crazy thanks jonas😂😂❣️❣️
Edit of 2021: lol thanks guys for the likes i make music too so if you want go check it out🙂
yes but if you are not creative you doing nothing so
@@fredericaboussafy5276 yes but if you're creative but can't put your ideas down you're doing nothing either
Dude thats free everywhere, sincerely just basic vocal mixing and recording knowledge
Still, this video is a great lesson for people that are starting to work with vocals.
czcams.com/video/FA-SM3dnIWY/video.html
I got lost when he said "OK let's start"
I really appreciate him showing that he manually plots in the keys of the melody
I think that it's the 4th time I'm watching this and it's still the best vocal tutorial on CZcams
As a starting point, sidechaining the reverb & delays to the vocal as a "ducking" effect can save you some time. Keeps the flow in the studio going.
Such a solid tutorial, 10/10!
Brother 🙏 Glad you enjoyed!
I have no musical knowledge… *proceeds to put up and entire scale by ear FROM MEMORY*
This was great. Love the EQing before and after the compressor. Getting rid of those nasty boomy frequencies has been something I’ve been focusing on recently and this really helped.
Shiishhh
does anyone know what program or software he is using for the Vocal edits?
@@juanarzu6885 Looks like FL Studio
You did a lot of things that my college teacher would cringe at but I loved this tutorial. Never liked my teacher anyway lol. Also loved that it was in FL Studio so I can directly use these techniques the way you did. Definitely gotta watch this about a dozen more times lol.
I mean, if it works it works right 🥶🤠
And that's why teachers like yours who are obsessed with following rules and not breaking them haven't worked with the artists Paul had a pleasure to work with because Paul is good in what he does by following "one simple rule that your music teacher hates". It's that there is NO rules.
does anyone know what program or software he is using for the Vocal edits? is this really FL studios?
@@juanarzu6885 yes it is
@@Dante-uw1ge its not free is it? I mean if u wanna keep it permanently
i hardly noticed 34min is done already ! this is one of the best vocal mixing i've seen on YT ! tnx tnx tnx !!!
Really amazing video! This is the first video I've seen that really helped me understand how mixers were getting such clean/professional results. I've watched a ton of other videos, but I felt like I was still missing something important by the end. Thank you so much Jonas and Paul!
This is literally the most informative piece of content for vocal production, I have learnt so much from this video. Thank you!
Wow. He teaches everything. Thank you Jonas, Paul!
the reason i like this channel was. "always make it detail" "free sample" even tough jonas and his friend were crazy -_-
raw vocals are so goo wtf your underated :)
that's a lot of work. never seen this done before. mind blown, thanks for sharing.
Mad skills! Feels like I learnt a lot from this, great job Paul!
Thank you! 🙏
Wow this guy is a wizard! He’s so fast doing the automation and comps!
These were all the steps I had in mind but had never seen someone do them all. WOW! This was very informative thanks!
He is a genius!!! Hats off!! Greatest vocal mixing tutorial ever!!!
Thank you for your complete and comprehensive training. Very good!
I'd like to say a Big thanks for this tutorial
I've just started singing on my tracks and the feedback was mostly about my voice not fitting the mix
Now with these tips i'm ready to improve my production skills even more
Thanks Jonas and Paul
THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING AND SHARING THIS WITH US!! I really enjoyed watching this video and I learned alot
This man is doing godly editing, wow! MASTERY!

I love how at the beginning of the vid, the camera slowly kept panning up as he was chatting, Man I love that! 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm trying to learn how to mix for punk and hardcore, which is pretty stripped-down, but I think that going "overkill" on production tutorial videos is still a good idea. This information is priceless, and these techniques can help with any genre. Thank you :)
Man, so talented, I can just see the years of practice and learning, so jealous, ive been trying to make my own stuff for so long but its so difficult for me to learn for some reason D:
This video is a perfect way to see what goes into vocal mixing, and getting one song stuck in your head for 3 years.
This guy is so inspiring and so talented! Thank you for the video!
I really loved this video it's so professional and it teaches a lot. I'd suggest for the next ones to let on the description of the video the links where to find the plugins. Thank you very much for this amazing work :)
This is a great video😁
He said it sounds close to finish. Man! 🥲
Wow, that's exactly what I am looking for. Thank you so much. I struggled so much with recording vocals at home. Now I have an idea, what I did wrong. Much much love from Germany. ❤️
ya that sick song vocal i am wating final result also
Let's go boyyeeezzzzz 🔥
Thanks bro! Very helpful! Very clear and easy to understand. Great vid!
On CZcams I see a lot of tutorials but no videos can compare to this one's.I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for watching..czcams.com/video/knjtt6A1nPk/video.html
This, this is brilliant. I use Fl and I wasn't aware of a lot of these tricks
I was just about to ask, before finishing the video what program he was using
Whats the software name !?!
What a blessingggggg... to stumble on you guys... yehheyyyyy
This was super helpful. As a beginner to using a DAW, things like using a compressor, handling S sounds, and adjusting volume for quiet parts, are the things that I really needed a hand with.
Love your t-shirt
This is probably the best mixing tutorial ive seen on youtube and ive probably watched every one. This guy deserves a ton a credit for breaking all this down in a 30 min video and making it easy to understand. As an aspiring engineer/producer u really come to appreciate people like this .
Appreciate it brother! 🙏🏼 Glad you enjoyed it 🔥
A lot of solid gems in this, appreciate the quality content🤘🏼
crazy tutorial and awesome perfomance the vocal takes were nearly perfect a simple mix but a lot of automation made it sound radio ready
You know you'll learn something new when Jonas Uploads!

hai, ca cu tine o sa ma inteleg: piesa nu'i in minor, sau sunt eu prost? el a pus antaresul in major
@@AlexStavi Piesa originala e in sol minor. Daca te uiti, el si zice ca a fost inregistrata cu 1 semiton mai sus. Deci devine sol diez minor. Cand isi cauta notele acolo in piano roll, el de fapt gaseste gama relativa a lui sol diez minor , adica Si Major. Ca a pus Si Major sau daca punea sol diez minor, era aceeasi chestie.

this video was so intresting, thanks to you both
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
That is why you have a person for vocal recording and mixing.. ❤️
Wow. Just wow. In depth.
Lmao, I noticed from the timestamps of the vocal recordings, he was making the video from 3pm to like 11 pm lmao. DOPE VIDEO THO.
This is excellent. It's easy to think that this is a quick process based on how some people show it, but I think this accurately shows just how painstaking you have to be with vocal comping and automation and such to get a truly "pop professional" sound. Now imagine this, but for each step he's only showing you 10% of it or less and then multiply by an order of magnitude if you don't know all the keystrokes and don't know for sure what you want and have to try things. Then that's how long it would take you to process this 20ish seconds of vocals, multiply that by however long your song is. It truly takes forever, whereas a lot of other stuff can actually be pretty quick in modern production.
You’re completely right, this was just 10% 🙏🏼 Just a vid to show basic ideas haha
@@PaulHers i wanna be a music producer but seeing the complexity of it made me Shrivel down the spine.
Tell me , Paul how to start learning Music production as a newbie from scratch
BRILLIANT
Execellent!🔥💯
Holy shit this man just dropped so many damn gems wtf x.x
Its interesting to see the automated reverb and delay. All the tutorials Ive seen always pushes sidechaining the reverbs and delays the vocals. Theres something about automating that adds to the vibe
yeah, I've been looking how artist get so much dynamic on fx and now I know... sidechain works, but surely there is more to it
Thank u so much! That was the clearest tutorial I've ever saw. ❤️🌹🌹
This was a great tutorial! Awesome job showing the process 😁
This was super helpful! Thanks!! Also cheers to a smooth recovery 🏥💚
