Making a vocal smooth and sit in the mix. But when doing the video everytime a plug-in is contributing to sitting the vocal back in the mix, really empathize that part of the video. Keep bypassing and un bypassing the plug-in so people understand exactly how the sound was before, and why/how you got the sound after.

Smoothing and fixing deep, muddy, boxy vocals :) Awesome videos man!
This is the ultimate secret for great vocals, and nobody talks about it lol
Nobody except me 😅 but you’re right. Took me a bit to learn this one, I actually had to attend an official FabFilter workshop to get exposed to this but the moment I figured it out, it changed EVERYTHING. Glad it helped 👊🏼
@@5piece Ye i also came up with it myself lol. However using a regular CL compressor as well on the bus.
Very good and DEATAILED description of the plugin and its many practical uses. Great quality content, just gained a new subscriber🔥💫
I like the way this guy teaches the material. Feels like I stumbled upon a treasure chest of gems here!
You have good taste my friend. Thanks for watching 😉
Just recently started wanting to learn everything I possibly can on ways to use multiband on vocals! Thank you so much for this video. Just adding more to my knowledge
Awesome! It’s a super useful tool once you understand it. Best of luck!!!
@@5piece thank you! Engineering your own stuff is so much fun. It’s just cool learning new techniques and different peoples opinions and workflow
Definitely!
This convinced me to buy the Pro MB ! Thanks for the all the helpful content!
good stuff man thank you!
Great informational video. Beginner friendly and intermediate guidance 💯
I appreciate you Andrew! Thanks for the kind words and for watching 👊🏼
this is truly fascinating to watch 👏🏾👏🏾
Appreciate you bro!!!
great vid showed me exactly how to get the most out of my ProMB
This is great thank you!
That last song was hella deep goddamn 😭 But thanks for the vid Man I understand Pro Mb way more now
Shoutout my guy SRE for that! Links to all songs are in the description 🤙🏼
Good information and well explained subscribed
Thank you Cloudy Campaign!!
Love your stuff Five keep the grind flowin' !
I think you should do a Pro Tools beginners, intermediate and advanced series of videos to really grasp and navigate through Pro Tools with ease.
It’s been on my mind! thank you for reaffirming this idea ! 🙌🏼
This is very helpful. ❤️
Glad you think so!
Great review!
Thank you!
Excellent content
I appreciate you Roop Records!! 👊🏼
Very useful stuff. Im new to this so this is great
Awesome. Glad to be of service Grant !! 🙏🏼
@@5piece is there something you would recommend that would level out quiet parts and lessen louder parts? I usually throw it into the compressor but I'd like to have it "leveled" on the file itself instead of through the plugin because I can't see how the end result
Ur Fire With ur tips TY
Thank you Kings!!!!!
Nice ❤️
Great tutorial! I have the Pro Q3,Is the Pro Q3 essentially a mulitband compressor with its dynamic control function? To me ,MB and Q3 seem the same.
Nice something 🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
Cool thx
You’re welcome!
can you do all 5 of those tips in the 1 MB compressor without having to use 3 of them in the 1 chain
Do you tend to put this before your first compressor or after?
my vocal quality will increase by 100 pc now
hey so, if im stacking a 1176 and a LA2A for rap vocals, this is good to use after both of them?
Yes... You'll get a clear and consistent hear of the mud and harsh sounds more.
I think you highlighted a lot of my mistakes with this tool: bands too narrow, not adjusting gain for what is lost, and applying too much. I noticed the vocals sounded pretty good by the time you got to applying multiband compression. Is this always how you use it, or are there applications for it earlier in a vocal chain?
I discuss this at greater length around the 17:46 and beyond. This is primarily
how I use it - to correct frequency problems that occur after another plugin like an EQ or compressor. Occasionally I will use it as a replacement for my standard compressor since it does offer more control over individual frequency bands, BUT the way I describe at the end is the main way I use it. Hope this helps!!
U really help me with this shit and seem chill as fuck bro! imma sub💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Appreciate you Bleu!! Glad I could help 🙏🏼
I wanna know the best procedure of to use multband complesor in mastering
Noted for tidier content. Thanks for the suggestion 🙌🏼
Dont forget to adjust attack and release in your bands.
👏🏾
Been sleeping on multiband compression
Glad I could help wake you up ;) thanks for watching
Mate I'm 4 years in and only now I realised 🧑🏻🦯
Not an expert but it seems like when you eq your music to your liking the regular compressor does almost the same as an multiband without proper eq.
Please tell me if I'm mistaken
Can’t fully say you’re mistaken as every track is different and what you propose may genuinely work in some scenarios. I personally don’t find them to sound the same; compressors have their own frequency response and way of manipulating the frequency spectrum of a sound even if it’s not the intentional. This is usually because some frequencies are louder than others, yet the compressor reacts the same to all frequencies unless using a built in HPF filter or other EQ manipulation beforehand. I would say the MB sounds different from normal compression (though very similar) and offers significantly more control. The beauty is, you can also use an MB as a compressor by simply selecting the entire frequency range when dialing settings. Hope this helps 👊🏼
hey hope you good , lets work im a rapper songwriter
Interestingly, this tutorial video regarding comprression has a large volume difference between the narrator's (tutor) microphone level and the music, including the intro music. I had to turn up the volume in order to hear and understand what he wa saying, But, when the music played, it was ridiculoudly loud! Perhaps one should learn how to merely adjust the volumes of individual tracks, here the narrator and music tracks, before offering tutorials on multiband compression. Just a thought.
Thanks for the note. Will be mindful of volume balancing music and vocal audio more in the future, although this video is over a year old now and it may not be indicative of recent content.
I disagree on the sentiment of not teaching others though until I master that skill as you propose. As a solo content creator doing everything myself, mixing video audio and mixing music audio is VERY different, and while I excel with mixing music, I’m still learning the video side of things. Most people teaching on CZcams do not always have the best mixed audio but their lessons still apply. If I waited til I was an expert at mixing video audio, then there would probably be no videos or lessons. I’d rather put content out and learn as I go, rather than be like 90% of people who never try in the first place and just leave internet comments from their bedroom. Thanks for watching.
@@5piece I apologize for my insensitive comment. I was in the middle of a mixing project that could use some multiband comp on a poorly recorded vocal late at night.Wifey was sleeping. I came across your video and watched it. When the "music" came on, it startled me and woke my wife up because I had to turn up the video to hear what you were saying. Obviously, she was not too happy. And neither was I. But, my comment could had been more constructive rather than inpolite. Thanks for posting!
Caution* You will loose some "air" if your mix contains excessive amount of F* words... 😌
😂
obviously there is something happening...but even if I'm listening to it carefully I can't tell the difference...:D who else?
seems like you really understand sound so why are you using these monitors?! LOL
What’s the problem with them?
@@5piece krk? Just Awful
KRK are great, just not the rokit series @@galaballi
Why is the rapper trying o
so hard to sound like Drake
Why are you trying so hard to hate on someone expressing themselves? How do you know he was even trying to do that? So much judgement in this comment without knowing a damn thing about a person or their art, just seeing a moment of it in this video....what happened to you to make you like this?
@@5piece damn you just stripped this man down to his last core😭
