How to record/produce Dream Pop Vocals

I show you guys how to record and produce Dreamy Pop vocals in Ableton 11. I had done a video like this a couple years ago but I've learned a few more things since then. I figure why not give you guys an update on this process!

Thanks for this! I recently wrote an EP worth of music and have been putting off doing vocals. I’ll take this as a sign to get started

[@bananalabs]

Nice, Matt! Glad to help!

[@undercovermane652]

Did you start?

[@ibuprofen-noodles]

i couldnt believe how to the point this was
maybe one of the best vocal tutorials ive ever seen wow

[@heavenly2k]

Your vocals sound like Cloud Control or Death Cab. You got the indie vox down 🔥 your song sounded dope too, I'd fosho add to my playlist!

[@sleepythearchitect]

This was a quick and useful tutorial thank you

[@JeanPierrePermantier]

[@mystikrebel1089]

Brilliant tips..thanks for this !

[@bananalabs]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@juanpablocisternas]

hi how are things! Do you do mixing and mastering work remotely? Where could we contact you to talk? I have a shoegaze band with which I would like to be able to mix and master, since we have everything recorded. Greetings and thanks for your videos! they are fantastic

[@OysuL]

You could always just follow his tutorial

[@mandaji]

Thanks for the video, right now i am trying to replicate this in a live gig situation, what's your tought about it? have you tried vocal effects live? thanks again

[@bananalabs]

So sorry for the extremely late response!
I have used vocal effects for live performances. I used to use an Ibanez delay (guitar pedal) and then later on I got the Boss delay/reverb vocal pedal. It can work but it all depends on the room you’re performing in. It all varies depending on the acoustics.

[@DreamArtScientists]

Great tips! Thanks!

[@bananalabs]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimmystevens6935]

Anyway this can translate to fl studio?

[@johnsonqjohnson]

nice short tutorial

[@gregorylindsay9916]

Awesome

[@bananalabs]

Thank you!

[@prodby.trev99]

You sounded like John Frusciante for a sec

[@MaOn-kc6tc]

Wow

[@wreckedsun]

Do you have a tutorial using waves plugins?

[@FoodNerds]

How did you get rid of the over echo? What software are you using?

[@bananalabs]

I’m using Ableton (Standard)

[@luzxyy]

wait, why a pop filter if the shure sm7b already have one

[@bananalabs]

For safety measures. I’ve recorded close up vocals without a pop filter before and those unwanted pronunciations still come through. Especially when you’re singing close up against the mic.

[@luzxyy]

@@bananalabs thank u so much for ur quick response, i appreciate it!!

[@markodesign]

I appreciate the video!
Typically a pop filter will be placed 2-5 inches away from the mic in order to do the best job at eliminating plosives, but in that case you lose the proximity effect, so it’s a trade off

[@frizzy6835]

U sound like CAS up close like that

[@bananalabs]

I love CAS ☺️

[@GreenBolshevik]

i swear to god you look like a feedback twitch streamer ive seen

[@Ziovic]

I don’t find this as much to be for pop artists, maybe you could incorporate it somehow. But pop vocals you think of TheWeeknd, Justin Bieber, Charlie Puth. Etc. just my opinion.

[@bananalabs]

Yeah this video is intended for Dream Pop not Top 40s Pop.
