💯💯. I think I mentioned that somewhere in the video, and I hope these principles can be helpful regardless of source instrument. Thanks for the comment 👊🏽

Thanks for the feedback 👊🏽

You don’t have to, but I find spreading the love across a few compressors can be a more natural sound. Sometimes if you overcompress with one plugin it can sound pinched and small. It’s all about what works for you and serves the song though - there’s no rules!!

🤣 🤣. I’m Trying to deafen you with this video, obvs. Glad it was helpful!

@@christianhaleofficial LOL!

You’re really throwing it back with that reference!

I appreciate the kind words. Hah, I’m definitely a fan of a thick (but still bright enough) vocal, what can I say!

👊🏽 👊🏽

A guitar so real it sounds fake 🤣

@@christianhaleofficial I'd take it as a compliment!

Appreciate the thoughts and feedback!

Glad it was helpful!!

I understand the frustration of your music not sounding as good as you know it can. I’ve been there!! The good news is that you can work on your skills and see your music improve over time. It’s just an incremental process. As someone that’s done this full time for awhile now, I’d be embarrassed for you to hear some of the stuff I was making 6 or 7 years ago 🫣🫣. You can also get really good results without spending a ton on plugins. Check out a fairly recent video I made on mixing a vocal with free and stock plugins as an example. You got this 👊🏽

@@christianhaleofficial Thanks for replying on my comment and sharing your thoughts on your past recordings! You are doing this full time and that's nice for you! Of course recording progress comes with more experience for sure, I will check out your recent video as well!! In my mind it would still be best if I just handed my recordings to a Pro who ensures top quality results but that will be too costly :) I got to learn to be happy and improve my skills and keep the faith, I do believe I have got good ears and that's a start, haha.. Thanks for the encouragement! Cheers

Love that - great idea! For starters, I would mess around with any of these tools on various sources and just see what happens. If there’s a track you would normally add compression to, try clipping or saturation for example. Or maybe there’s some frequencies you want to boost, then try multi band saturation. That’ll be the best way to see learn the differences in a practical way.

The man of the hour! I hope I didn’t ruin your tip 😂. And if I did I hope I made up for it in saying nice things about you.

It was just little alter boy on two tracks doing an octave thing, nothing major to the mix.

@@christianhaleofficial ok cool. Love the videos bro. I’m waiting to purchase the plugins before I buy your template 🚀🚀🚀

@@Mixbyab Right on! Yeah, the chain has gotten a little excessive over the years lol. Just from having something I like, then wanting to tweak the whole thing, etc. I'm working on making a simpler vocal chain with less plugins to make available for you guys, and in the mean time, check out my video on mixing vocals with free & stock plugs!

@@christianhaleofficial for sure. I pretty much have most things them. Just need ruby2 isotope

Of course! Hope this was helpful 👊🏽

I think you’re already on it! Pretty much just lefts & rights of these right here.

@@christianhaleofficial thank you! I've been tuning my ears alot lately to break down layers.

@@markhitchen5952 that’s a great skill to develop, and something I constantly work on to this day!

Gosh that is such a huge difference, wow! That’s amazing.

Yep - Doug is a beast! Loved this tip. I'm not 100% sure if this is how he does it, just tried some stuff from listening to his interview on the song I was working on yesterday. Worked out really well!

He is! Every time I get a mix back from Doug I learn so much. “Oh that’s what I SHOULD have done there.” 😂

Hey! Thanks for the kind words, and glad you’re digging the content. Regarding time correction, a lot of it is just a comfort / workflow thing for me. I do a lot of subtle pocketing straight in the DAW while I’m cutting & comping vocals in real time, and am fast at doing it in protools. I know tons of great producers that time correct in Melodyne and get awesome results. I think it’s helpful to know how to do both!

🤣. I was waiting for this joke!!

Love it - thanks for the kind words and glad you found the video helpful. Love that comparison to the Ira Glass quote and totally agree.

Thanks so much! It’s an unreleased (but I think soon to be released) song by my good buddy Eddie from The Score / Unroyal

I gotchu! ruclips.net/video/MkJCBiFSZYw/видео.htmlsi=J65cxg9fXDljLA6n

What exactly do you mean?

@@christianhaleofficial Did you duplicate the lead or you just have the aux?

👊🏽 👊🏽

Glad to hear it!

Thanks so much man - that means the world. Glad you’re gaining some good insights… not slowing down any time soon over here.

💯

100% agreed! Learning principles and how someone things is def the better way to go about learning. Glad this video was helpful!

Love it man - so glad this was helpful to see 👊🏽

Not too often… I’d probably reference my mix bus video and treat the instrumental like that

I'm working on a resource right now that is gonna cover this!

This would’ve been recorded all through my UAD Apollo + plugins in console. UAD Neve 1073 (no eq) + UAD 1176 (barely compressing). You can see me break down my tracking chain in detail here: ruclips.net/video/AvcX8Z48f8Y/видео.htmlsi=UeLqjjjE9-TG-TTu

You can get in touch on my website christianhale.co/contact

🔥 🔥 👊🏽

Ahhh man can I relate to this. I’ve def had my years worth of CPU limitations. One tip is to freeze and commit as much as possible. Also, I have a video dropping tomorrow morning that I think will come in handy for you 👀👊🏽👊🏽

@@christianhaleofficial Looking forward to it. Great stuff. BTW, that song sounded great. Where can I listen to it? TIA.

@@craiggybear1807thanks! It’s not out officially, but was written with my good buddy Eddie of The Score & Unroyal

@@christianhaleofficial It's not even my kinda thing but, it sounded so good that I just wanted to give my ears a wee treat.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad this was helpful 👊🏽

@@christianhaleofficial it was much helpful

That Ross King knows a thing or two!

I love it - thanks for the comment!

I work in protools, but these concepts should apply in any DAW! Pretty much all of these plugins can work in FL studio

Thanks for the comment! I think and hope this video shows you can get great results with a variety of settings, from super simple to more elaborate

I typically roll with 48k/24 bit, sometimes 16 bit. And I have a loaded Mac Studio that can handle whatever processing I need. For what I’m doing, I find that gives me what I need, but I’m sure someone much smarter than me can tell me why I should be rolling with 96k!

Depends on the tools you have at hand. The biggest apparent issue with mixing at a lower sample rate would be with "foldback" distortion on saturators, EQ, and compressors that add color. Any plugin with an oversampling feature internally multiplies the sample rate to avoid foldback, so you may not necessary need to mix at a higher sample rate. If you want to learn more, check out Dan Worrall's video "Samplerates: the higher the better, right?" ... great resource. I will say, I always TRACK at 96KHz because it allows me to get much lower latency while monitoring with compression plugins (2-6ms vs 6-13ms at 48KHz).

Thanks so much man 👊🏽. So glad you’re finding this valuable. I’ve been at the producing / writing / mixing thing for a good bit now, but I’m still only half a year into the education and content side. So I’ll keep on bringing the goods and not slowing down anytime soon!

That’s what I thought! Thanks for confirming

Hah! That’s what I thought! Thanks for confirming
