    Ayyyeee using the Kyle Beats plugin - you like it?
    And yeah that parallel compression is fantastic. Amazing how much color that adds, too.

      Kyle Beats video SOLD me. haha.. It's pretty sweet. Not saying other plugs wont do the same. But its presets are pretty inspiring.

    Your content is great-professional and concise. There are SO MANY “CZcams” producers that have various opinions, but your methods just WORK.
    I mean, you operate in the industry full-time-and have produced quite a few hits! Best channel out there. Thank you, Forest!

    A video that is almost two years old, and still relevant for Pop Country today.
    A small part of me is tempted to pick up Studio One everytime I watch you work. Then I realize that I really don't want to learn a new DAW platform to get the same WAV file at the end.
    At some point I need to pick up the phone and give you a call to see what is going on in that head of yours. It's that or one more drive to Nashville (which is always a win for me).

    Bro I’d literally come to Nashville just to work with you. I use reason 12 in San Antonio, but I’m learning I’m more of a singer and guitarist than a producer. This channel is my new favorite!

  • @Endless_Skyway_Adventures

    Well we are very similar in vocal processing I run the signal through 2 stacked CLA 2A from Waves with no gain reduction at all, then light CLA-1176 on the channel and parallel compression with another CLA-1176 on a parallel channel. Sometimes my parallel channel is a waves LL-16 multi band limiter that distorts nicely.
    I would love to have a hardware LA-2A. Thanks for sharing.

      @forestwhitehead  Před 2 lety

      The plug is great as well.. the parallel trick can be applied to in the box plugs as well! I do feel like the color you hear through this hardware is why people still invest in it.

    • @forestwhitehead
      @forestwhitehead  Před 2 lety +2

      Id keep my bgvs in the box and probably not as much parallel if any. I just parallel the lead to make sure it is present and cuts through the mix. Ill do a video on this.

    Love the sound you get! I use S1-5 myself... I've never stacked reverbs or delays like you are, but it is something I need to start experimenting with.
    I wish I could afford outboard gear and have some of the capabilities you have here, but I'd love a video showing how to do this kind of processing with stock plug ins (and a few of the more attainable plugins we all have access to.
    Is there tuning on this track as well?

      Only pipeline xt on send. It could be a bus channel. I just don’t plan to send the signal anywhere else so I keep it simple.
