Enjoy!
I came looking for copper, but I found Gold. God bless you, Man
Glad you enjoyed it 🤘🤘🤘🤘
All the people saying this is the best tutorial aint lying. Great job, bro! 👍
That's the best tutorial I've ever seen, for a complete beginner! So clear and precise, not only "use your ears znd explore", but precise indications about dB levels, etc...
Oh my gosh, out of all the videos I've seen, this is the BEST and exactly what I've been looking for!!! Thank you for the production of the video.
Couldn’t agree more. This completely changed things for me. Thank you
First of all, Thank you, I learned something today, i used to duplicate my vocals and used to think why no difference now i know why and why i should retake some extra vocal layers
These are very valid points, and I appreciated them (to a large degree). But it wasn't until beginning your course that I truly began to absorb the gravity of the importance of vocals with much more deliberate understanding or have approaches to implementing sets of techniques to treat treat & mix vocals effectively & thoughtfully.
Thank you for continuing to teach so many of us with your amazing content.
howmuch for the course
This is such a great video..Thank you!! I always wondered about "adding distortion" and there it is...
Great breakdown bro, glad I found your page I’ll be here a lot.
I'm glad you're here!
Thanks for this awesome S1 V6 vid! :) What i particularly enjoyed was that i could actually hear all the changes you were making! Maybe my level isnt up there yet, but i cant always make out any difference when some folks bypass their entire FX chain! (lookin at you In the Mix :P). This one seems to be just the right level for me 👍
Super helpful!
Sounds great! The only thing I would have done differently is add a side chain compressor to the fx. But hey, it still sounds great!
Fantastic guide, my friend!
Awesome video. You are clear, and concise with your descriptions and even though I have never mixed a song, I feel like I can now go to studio one and give it a good shot. Thanks,
Thank you! Glad I could help!
thank you Andrew, bless you man. 👋👋👋
Respect man thank you
thank you sir! this is very helpful. more power to you :)
Great tutorial : )
Thank you haha
Great video.. love the song 🍻
Wow awesome for sure
I have been following your videos since the ever first one I came across which I think was talking about using stock plugins to mix songs, I was hooked and I still am. You bring up very solid content which I'm sure touches the nerves of some others. I love what you do 🤝
Thank you! I love what you do! (Leaving nice comments haha) Thank you! I hope this content serves you!
wow thank you!
Thank for the tutor.. great
Very nice tutorial I learn the basics.. RIP ears on 14:03 thank you for the tutorial my friend.
It got loud fast 😂😂😂
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for this beautiful video and the wonderful lesson 👍 We want you, please, to teach us how to master and export the song in a correct and professional way. Once again, thank you 🌺👍
I like verymuch your studio room ....😍
Thanks hahaha
Great… thank you
I was looking for this to edit the vocal on Studio One 6.
VID VERY HELPFUL
THANK YOU 🙏
Useful stuff, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I wish I understood all that is going on in this video. I’ve been wanting to record my own vocals for years and still haven’t the slightest clue on what software to get an all seem extremely intimidating and having the slightest clue on how to use any. Thank you for the video but I’m still at square one as always
Watch my workshop. Might help you! It goes right to the beginning.
Hey brother could you please make a video showing us beginners how to insert third party plugins in studio one the right way, the reason I asked I know some of us not doing it right and it doesn’t work as we heard on advertising. Thank you
Great video. Just wondering why you coipied the effects to every vocal track rather than placing them on the vocal bus?
Thank you, can the second compressor be used in parallel?
This something i have been wondering when i listen to the likes of chart songs omg. I gotta suggest a video on an overlooked aspect of vocals which is the production. I came to realise this from a video that Nick Mavromatis did. Everyone focuses so much on the mixing when it’s only 50% of how to get a good vocal. Check out his episode on vocal production!
This is so true. Layers, melody and performance is 70% of a good sounding vocal!
Ask how to get compressor and pro eq because no have that 2 we have only one channel strip only thanks gor the answer
Good stuff.. just one thing i didn’t see you e.q. The reverb.. get those lows out but great video
what is the song in the video？i love it
Hi bro please do a turning tutorial in studio one
How do I set the main vocals/bgv in the vocal space?!
So I have an issue I don't have the option to add bus channels or to make a pack folder it could just be because my version is limited because my version of Studio One came with my interface
I have a question. Is there a benefit of having 2 Channel vs Mono Audio on the individual tracks? I noticed yours are 2 Ch and I dont know if there is a right or wrong in that regard. I've experienced both at 2 different stages of my engineering journey.
How do you do your gain staging in studio one???
Is this for any vocals?? Any genre??
Great tutorial. Count me as a subscriber. One thing though... if you are using the same pair of compressors, EQ, saturation and De-Esser on every vocal track - why not just put a single instance of each on the Vocal Bus instead of copying to each channel?
I want to hear this song, who's sing it 😂 and thanks for toturials that awesome
Good Video Man! How you aligning your vocals in studio one..
Manually most of the time! Studio One is ARA compatible so VocAlign works great too
Excellent video on the vocals. S1 6 is pretty powerful, and I'm still only on the free Artist edition my USB interface netted me. I'll confess I'm not mixing my projects solely with stock plug-ins as I went out and got a few Waves dynamics, EQ, meter, studio rack, Pulsar Mu and Massive combo which came with Relab's LX480 Essentials reverb free, Tokyo Dawn for a few free versions of dynamics and EQ, D16 free Frontier limiter, some plug-in alliance free, etc. Even so, I agree with you, you can do well with stock plug-ins.
PS I've gotta try Red Light Distortion. I've heard the neon light is the secret item that makes it work.
It’s how you use the tools, not the tools alone! Now I use Slate, UA, Waves and tons of others as well! I just made this video to prove that it’s possible and incredible quality as well.
Also, yeah the neon light is like the only thing that makes it work. It’s the magic 😂
@@ProducingInTheBox I copy. I just loved collecting some free and a few paid shiny bits of plug-ins and had to make them do something, especially my Pulsar duo.
Now you see I've got a dry, sarcastic humor. Best to ya. 🙂 ☕
@@DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579 I have a similar sense of humor. Probably should add that into my videos more often haha Still working on a camera presence. 😂
why dont you do EQ, compressor, ... on that bus which have all the vocals instead of copy and paste every plugins to every vocal tracks, tell me the reason why?
❤️
Why does the "Main Vocal" track have notes in the background like in the piano roll?
Is it for pitch correction? I'm in my first few weeks with Studio One and I'd like to learn more about it.
Yup! It’s for pitch correction! Melodyne essentials comes with Studio One Professional
what's that song called? -)
This video cant do my studio one 😔
How to do like this video tanks
Why are the vocals in stereo? thx
I feel so stupid. I downloaded the preset but i cant find where it is in my studio 1 6
Hey Andrew, I had seen a video about stacking compressors where the agressive one is first. Would that work as well ? Or is it better doing aggressive compressor 2nd
It’s a stylistic choice! I prefer the aggressive one second. I want to control the peaks before doing anything else!
@@ProducingInTheBox Thanks Andrew. Another question not necessarily related to the video. Hopefully not a dumb question but I noticed on the vocal tracks looks like recorded in stereo ? Did the vocalist sing into 2 mics ?
@@sgg6927 nope! I have a stereo channel (for stereo plugins I might add) but have a mono input!
@@sgg6927 FWIW it's pretty crazy that "some" rules don't seem to apply when mixing in the box. Stereo being one in particular. My Studio One DAW gets audio this way: live church sound to mono mic channels to the audio mixer, then from an aux master stereo mix to studio 68c USB interface, Studio One DAW, 1 dry stereo input that sends to a stereo FX channel where my surgical and broad EQs go to several serial compressors plus saturation and de-esser, and the original input 1/2 dry send to a Delay/Reverb and ducking compressor, and finally input 1/2 sends to a stereo widener with EQ, then the master bus with my meters and D16 Frontier limiter. My point is if you manipulate mono inputs correctly then you can get stereo out.
Do you have to paste the same plugins on every track like that? For people with cheaper computers.. their cou can't handle all that.
You could try to run everything through a bus and it’ll work. But be aware that multiple tracks will affect the compression differently! Just keep that in mind!
Thanks for the splendid breakdown. But there's one thing I don't understand, since you have already had all the FX on the bus, why do you need to copy them to every track? The signals are going to go through the FX on each track and then on the bus. Is it duplicated?
Using one compressor to mix lots of vocals won’t react the same way as 1 compressor and 1 vocal! I wanted the compression to be triggered ONLY by the individual tracks. And the bus “glues” things together!
@@ProducingInTheBoxMany thanks for the clear explanation, Bro~
If i know how to use Studio one ima switch to Studio one 🎉✨
What's going on homie? I see you, your work is awesome real rap YEAH! Just wondering if we can do business? What is your prices if you do mixing and mastering? From yo boy Dafathatictoc YEAH!
Hi.. How to make the background music gets lower when the human voice starts and then the music goes up when the voice is pausing? ❤
Sidechain compression is your best bet!
@ProducingInTheBox what about automation of the send levels?
this one stock plugin for studio one 6?
Yes...they're all stock plugins.
Why you didn´t set the Delay to a 100% wet?
Because I want some of that dry vocal hitting the reverb as well!
Hey bro, that guide isn't coming to my email? I've tried like 3 addresses, does it just take a while?
Check your spam and promotions tab! Sometimes they get buried in there!
No worries I got it! Thx
Thomas Newman
I was kind of surprised - I would have expected the EQing and series compression to just be on the vocal bus, rather than each individual track.
I like to treat my vocal bus a little bit differently than the individual vocals! A little compression goes a long ways on entire bus because there’s just so much signal hitting that bus
@@ProducingInTheBox Maybe you address this in another video.... but would you mind elaborating on your vocal bus compression approach? e.g. ratio, att, rel, total reduction...
thanks again for the great vid :)
I don’t understand why you didn’t just add the plugins in the bus instead of coping them for all the other vocals
This is a GREAT question! This is because all of the vocals together will increase the volume and affect the compression differently. If I wanted to compress them and EQ them all at once, I would’ve started right on the vocal bus! Because I want a little bit more control on how the compression hits the main vocal vs the harmonies and BGVs, I added them individually! After I do all that, I will add a compressor to the entire bus sometimes. Only compression a LITTLE bit! Thank you so much for this question!
@@ProducingInTheBox thank you for the answer 🙏
I was about to ask the same question?
@@Bashanvibe he answered the question 😉
When i see vocals in stereo 🤨
They were recorded mono. But when I bounced the stems they rendered in stereo. But nbd cause there’s no phasing issues yet haha
the presets are NOT free if you require an email to get them lol
dude im not gonna lie but this isnt how to mix ur vocals right like theres stuff ur not saying cus no way u can get a great vocal with just this
This are just the basics that you do on every vocal
@@rubenn7212 if u do all ur vocals like this they arent gna sound as good as they could but everybody has a different taste
@@slowmotionradio73 what would you change or add ?
@@rubenn7212 let me rewatch it and ill let u know i watched this a couple weeks ago dnt really remember but if ur asking cus u genuinley want to know ill do it
@@slowmotionradio73 We're all still waiting.
