5:24 I love how he said that about autotune. I try to tell so many people it doesn't automatically make you sound good. You have to have an actual feel of what notes you need to hit and coming close to hitting them. Also just having a good feel of melodies when picking beats.
Yeah performance is everything with Autotune frfr
I have a friend that throws heavy autotune on everything he does and that shit sounds ass
@@user-ff7xk7ug3x lmfao
@@user-ff7xk7ug3x yo chillll 😂😂😂 love the transparency tho
If ur recording with auto tune n monitoring it live then u won’t sound bad
This might be a useful analogy for others to pick up on. Back when I was a professional engineer, I saw mixing in two stages, like one sees it in video editing : Color Correction and Color Grading. The color correction stage, is where you are adjusting the vocals so that it just sounds on a technical level, good quality. That includes the recording process and processing it at the right levels so that you have headroom...just as how in video editing process where video footage is recorded in high dynamic range so that you have headroom to bring different levels of colors where you want and have the room to play around with. So there is the analog recording procedure (the microphone, interface, compressors etc...) where you are trying to get the right recording levels going there...then in pro-tools you are adjusting levels as you would a compressor by hand (without using any plugins...just straight up level adjustments) on words, phrases etc... lowering breaths, de-essing manually (that's right, manually LOOKING for the high frequency wave forms and lowering their volume) and cleaning up dead noise in between.
Doing those things will take your sound quality from amateur to studio quality...then you have your "color grading" phase which is where you play with different sound types and styles. Adding distortion, Eq-ing the voice to sound either warm or cold...harsh or soft... things like that. A singer will usually introduce their own quality in their voice, and to be honest, bringing out that quality works to your advantage...but like you guys said, don't be afraid to experiment! I always liked to add a band splitter, which will split the vocal into modular frequency bands. When you do this, certain frequencies get lost, but this loss in frequencies make it so that there is a kind of crystalline smoothness to the sound... where B's and P's sound softer...as if it was a kind of digital pop filter.
Anyway, I no longer work in the music industry...and I gave a rather vague explanation of how I saw the process...but ya this was a good interview with many gems and it encouraged me to just leave a comment to just reaffirm that what this man said is good advise to follow. What he said about the panning is also definitely some great advise. Give each sound it's own place, in the space of the mix...and imagine it like you were sitting in a room, and your level + pan is the location of where that sound is in the room. Contrast is key as well, because by having certain instruments be close to mono in terms of stereo width, other sounds like the vocals where the stereo width on the layers are pushed out super wide will make the vocals APPEAR much much wider then if your instruments weren't in a narrow stereo width.
Cheers,
This whole video was sauce I really fw this type of content appreciate you sky🐐
I’m an engineer who’s been learning from a Grammy nominated engineer and this about the only guy I’ve seen who really seems to know how to engineer in a professional manner not no internet bs…
It’s a few ppl out here that holds it down but majority of ppl focus on selling presets
@@SKYJORDXN yea people don’t realize presets are meant to be a starting point (when you’ve made ones that work for you consistently) and think there supposed to mix for them
How can i look up that engineer?
@@Davindersingh-iw6bu from the video or who I’m talkin about
The person you are talking about or some good sources on youtube
Great session gents got a new subscriber! Appreciate the authenticity of the subjects discussed. Blessings to both for the knowledge shared!
Straight knowledge 🔥‼️
I appreciate you and watchu been posting lately🙏🏽 all ya fans/ supporters SHOULD watch this beg. To end. Ppl need to start understanding the basics of recording / mixing soon!! Dropping gems this whole video 💯💯💯
Appreciate fam frfr I’m tryna bring ppl on to give extra sauce
This gave me loads of clarity as an artist that Im doin the right thing for myself.
Im struggling with my PATH more than the CRAFT… social media has me on that analysis paralysis.
Lolol
Great interview!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥
Such a fantastic interview as usual! Coming up on 100k Sky congrats!
Appreciate you bro frfr
Been getting into Vocal mixing lately and your Videos are really helpful bro, thanks for the content🔒
Check out out video with kid larois engineer when you get the chance if you're interested in getting more perspective on mixing as well !
@@producertips1803 Bet imma look into it, thanks bro
gems upon gems, Sky always putting that golden content up that we need, espesh "bedroom rappers"
Mad helpful bro thanks for the vid 💯
My boy mixedbygabriel dmv finest 🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Its all about recording technique..I know for artist J.R.Clark "check him out" we use a Manley Ref C tube mic, with a bae 1073, into a UA 1176ln, into a Prism sound Lyra and we use maybe 7 plugins then sen it off to get mastered
Great video my g keep up the great work
good video great content lik always sky 🔥🔥
A lot of dope 💎even for a seasoned engineer 💪🏾💯Salute !
Appreciate you watching frfr great to know engineers with experience found it and liked it
Bro I really needed this video I been seriously thinking about going to audio engineering school
This video was awesome, amazing info
glad you liked it
Yeah this is fire content bro make this a regular thing
facts yall guys are the truth..great advice
appreciate you watching fam
Great interview young one.
Yh he really be giving gems here 🚨🚨
I met plenty of pros who use Logic Pro X for mixing and mastering. I started on Pro Tools and it's cool I just feel comfortable with what I use. Doesn't matter what you use if you know what you're doing. I do the same thing on pro tools that I would do on LPX minus the stock plugins that are exclusive to each DAW. Great interview and many gems. Thank you
Such a great interviewer. Straight to the point. Clear and concise. Entertaining. Collected and smooth. Good shi sky
Hello
THATS LOVE!!!!! I APPRECIATE BOTH OF U 4 SHARING Ur KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS!!! THATS REAL!! THANKS!! 4 ROOKIES LIKE ME
Most def gon keep this in mind🔥

Liked and subscribed 👏👏👏👏
REALLY ENJOYED THIS INTERVIEW. A LOT OF JEWELS ON THIS 1.
Great interview Sky ..
appreciate you watching
This is dope
Really good advice, y'all great
AYE THIS GUY IS THE TRUTH
Appreciate you watching fam
I’m using Apollo twin x , akg c414 mic, my question is, if I were to buy my first analog piece of gear/ compressor, what’s a good first one to buy?
I’m a melodic rapper. Big influences are Drake, Wayne, mac Miller.
Nice Interview 👍
Big W INTERVIEW !
Fam, all I want to know is Coi Leray presets. 🤭
Dope Interview
which vocal fx should be on the buss, i was advised never to put autotune on vocal fx, so i can put slate digital fresh air and waves vitamin etc
🔥 💯💯💯
He dropped some jewels. Thx
Not note but key of the instrumental and yea he makes a lot of sense
This vid made me sub, Biggest shocker was discovering that engineers is not really doing much crazy technics but rather the materia they work with is grade A, basically the artist makes the whole thing from the beginning. 🔥
And to add to widening, he did say panning but let’s say you want to make a vocal more “wide”, a trick you can use is to duplicate the vocal so there’s two of the same vocal, pan one to the hard left and the other hard right. I use this trick on instruments and it gives a more full sound. If there’s not a lot going on in the track, this shit sounds good.
You're joking right? Doubling the exact same sound and panning it left and right is still mono! If you want something to be true stereo/wide they need to be different or you could use the Haas effect. This is why the pros double track guitars and vocals!
@@Hogboy345 Bro, it doesn’t matter what your science says..When you do this, to everybody who didn’t nerd out studying audio engineering books, it sounds wider! I don’t care what rule from the books you read said it’s still mono, it’s about how it sounds to the listener and it sounds way wider than just having one dead center. Pan hard left in Fl studio and pan hard right and you got a monster sound to the listener
@@iceprada2 This is basic audio engineering stuff here man. Panning a mono signal left and right doesn't do anything, it IS literally the science of how wave forms work together, no way around it. Ask yourself this is the sound getting wider or just getting louder when you do this? If you're content not wanting to get better at your craft by "studying audio engineering books" or boring stuff like that then have fun being mediocre. People who are great at this take the time to learn these fundamentals of understanding how sound works.
i like the when you do things so i dont have too
This your best video
Fire
He a real one
Gems...
Great interview
Great information, everyone has to find there own sound.....
Most definitely!
Yall lit
appreciate you watchin
@@SKYJORDXN im a young engineer id love to hop on ur channel and talk about what I have learned
Literally facts about ProTools to its industry standard like y’all stop holding grudges and take a damn year to learn it🤣🤣
They be so afraid of it lol
Ppl also dont realise if u already learned a different daw pro tools will only take a few days to learn
@@jensen777 tbh takes a lot longer then that to actually learn it with all its benefits but definitely can learn the basics quite quick
@@youngsirgbeatz For sure bro, I jumped on pro tools for the first time just over a month ago after using fl for a year. Confusing at first but if u know what to look for u can easily learn how to use buses etc, route audio, punch in etc. Shit just takes time and people would rather spend it complaining online.
🔥
Hi brother, I found a song Suá la on Bandlabe, and I want to join the project, and put it on my channel, do you accept?
dope
making a song is like cooking u cannot add to much oil, salt on curry it will taste bad likewise in producing beat or mixing vocals
what's the discord link
Wished he would have turned his mic up a little more.
Wilder mean the fullness of the voice
Frist comnent bro.. Love from india
Man wtf I pressed on this video because I thought it was Lil Durk, well… swervo
nice vid
3rd comment 🙏🏻
cool bro cool
Appreciate you watching
whas good youtube its ya boy sky jordxn here
i kno everyone in here is crazy talented, is any of ya down to collab? lmk 💜🦂🌏✨
Yo that’s that jp engineering guy
How do you scan the Vocal for its frequency?
Not sure if this was what you were talking about, but if you wanna see the frequencies of a vocal measured in hertz just open up an EQ that has an “analyzer” or “imager” on it (your DAW might call it something different but it should be called something like this), then make sure the analyzer is turned on. Once you turn on the analyzer you can play the vocal and it will show you exactly what frequencies it is hitting
EQ
@@hockeytalk6084 pro tools?
I produce my own beats and mix and master my own vocals. I’m getting better I know in the long run money wise and production it will pay off eventually.
For sure just keep trying to improve at your own pace fr it’s all about doing your best fr
@@SKYJORDXN keep doing these interviews 💯💯 you have a natural way of interviewing someone.
@@williehypebeats appreciate you and imma try to get more stuff like this
Bro definitely has that drive
Great video. Still waiting on Sky to drop an album.
I’ll do like a mixtape or something after 100K just for the ppl who want a project frfr
@@SKYJORDXN I understand, but a mixtape from you will put you over a million subs easy fam. Think on it.
@@DJKingJames504 same
Is that Durk?!
Coi
"Whats the difference between analog and digital ?" Wtf!? That's engineer 1+1 lol
mhm
I never got your email brodie
I got you
@@SKYJORDXN bet
I don’t even use presents😂😮😮😂😂😂
It’s soooo many ppl who go crazy for them lol
I only use presets to give my vocal a clean/ louder effect,the presets just come with all that extra shit like i want something where its still my voice but w the loudness/ clean sound cant find no info how to🤷🏽♂️
@@lincolnbeaudoin true
Bro...are you lil durk's lost twin 😁
He looks nothing alike, his eyes way smaller
uh hmmm, uh hm, uh hmm
Hello boss
Thst hoodie is fye fye 🤌BIG SHOUTS fellas! Great vid yall guys are killin much respect 👊
