    Just the first 2 tips are already 95% of everything. And no, you can't cheat that, you have to record it multiple times. The science behind is that the signal of them is slightly different and that is exactly what makes it wide

      I thought main vocals had to be dead centre. I don't understand why to then duplicate them and put them wide :(

      @@SK-od6et no you leave the main centered, the stacks of the lead is what they panned left and right. That’s what gives it fullness

    I’ve been working on audio mixing and it took a while for it to click, and this guy has reduced 5 years of trial and error in just a few videos! I can honestly say Sage audio is the real deal 👌🏼 thank you for sharing the knowledge other fellow producers/mixers need to create better music

    Having vocal multiples is probably the sharpest tool one has in a vocal session and its processing. That they slightly differ in timing and that’s the magic, they become better multiples.

    Thnaks for confirming what i already suspected (getting my head round recording vocals - its early days, six months in, lots to learn). Having several takes makes a massive difference... Also, to me, it sounds way fuller than just autotuning everything - its more effort, but to me so far - it seems worthwhile

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks for watching - I agree, I think it sounds better to record multiple takes rather than use harmony generators/tuners to create multiple versions. Usually the best things take extra effort!

    What's the best way to record a vocal part that has an overlap in it? For example, recording part one of a verse that has a scream dragged out in the end that can be heard in the very start of part two of the verse. Do I just need to create a whole separate track for part two? Or is there a way to keep them on the same track without the scream at the end of the first part being cut out?

    How do you make extra vocal layers when you’re using a vocal sample and don’t have access to the creator of the original sample?

    • @Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn
      @Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn Před 2 lety +1

      Then you need to duplicate the same track over and over, but change it every time. It's not quite so natural sounding, but if you're using samples, it's probably not what you're going for anyway. So you still do much the same thing, change pitch, change EQ, add small, but different delays to some tracks panned hard left and right, whatever you can to make them different to each other so you get a wider stereo image.
      Be aware that time based changes like delay can cause phase issues though.

  • @royallmuzikproductionzuk7912

    Hi all .Where would you place the deep or low and the highs in the spectrum. I usually leave the lower octave in the middle. What you guys think

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Před rokem +1

      Keeping lows centered is a good idea - you can also slightly pan higher octaves, as well as use a chorus or delay effect to widen higher performances.

    Imo to many stacks take away the dynamics, soul and personality. You could hear the phasing, and felt robotic. I think dropping the unison and pitch tracks lower in the mix would make the main comp pop out more.

    Hello, Why use a stereo track for a mono vocal track?

    • @Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn
      @Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn Před 2 lety

      It's probably just the default setting when you merge clips into one track. Same info both left and right, so essentially, it still is mono.
      That's the case with my DAW anyway, rendered tracks are stereo by default, and there's no reason to change the setting as it makes no difference whatsoever.

    • @taylorcliff6609
      @taylorcliff6609 Před 2 lety
