MAJOR BENEFIT AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME....THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!
Love it! I already knew about these techniques, but you explained them well.
Great video!
superb tips Chris. liked all of them and those are working great. your skill to explain is simply awesome. thanks a lot bro.
Thank you Chris for your free Delay & Rev pdf guide. Your videos are very helpful, I learn a lot from them. Thank you very much. You are just wonderful 👍
Automation is everything. I rarely use a "set and forget" method on effects. I like to adjust the parameters of ALL effects as the song plays. For example, being able to ramp up the size of a reverb when the singer hits the last note of a verse (and then increase wetness to drag out the tail) gives you total control. I have faders jumping everywhere at playback, and they often represent effects parameters (not just volume levels).
The video is extremely informative, thank you for all the information on vocal recording. I would love to know when the single will be released... I'll certainly be on the lookout. Great content
This is the first video I’ve watched from you.. awesome instructions! I am looking forward to learning more! Thanks!
Very Usefull Thanks so much 😍
Great video. Alot of density on vocals after these tips/tricks. Unique character. This is a mix saver actually
Just another lesson I desperately needed .Thanks Again Chris
My pleasure!
Ive struggled with getting reverb to work on my voice for a long time- This was really helpful! Thanks!
Fantastic video and tips, thanks!
Thank you!
I heard it right away, nice job, you guys who do this are awesome
So glad you are still enjoying the Sonsig Rev-A. Awesome videos as always Chris!!
Thanks! It's a good sounded Reverb and simple to use, that works well for me :-)
Very useful Chris. Many cool choices made simple. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great! Thanks for the tips and clarity of the presentation
very good tips, i like this guy
thank you really informative
I used to dream of accessing information like this free. Groovy! Thanks a lot!
The Reverb - Amazing. I also paid close attention to the sound of the drums. I liked.
Useful as always, Thanks Chris!
My pleasure!
Really good info here.
1- 3 and 5 i use all the time. Compression is new to me. Thank you Chris.
You're welcome!
well I used to send my already compressed signal to my reverb bus, but a little bit more control sounds practical, specially if we go multiband!
ruclips.net/video/8NQsvnz0RFY/видео.html
Much appreciated..It's a very good tutorial and it highlighted alot of my mixing techniques
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, exactly the info I've been searching for for years.
Glad I could help!
For a little froggy like me, it's very good that your pronouciation is so clear. Thank you for that and the guide. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you for PDF. Nice job.
Very useful tips , thank you ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Soo good explained thank you 🙏🏾
Amazing tips! Thank you for sharing! My favourite reverb is Arturia's Rev intensity :)
Really enjoyed the video and learned some cool things. Thank you. Happy Holidays.
You're welcome!
Chris! You are brilliant! Are you going to be adding another mix tutorial in your mixing course? I really enjoyed following along with you in the other songs you did! Cheers brother!
For the Mixing course, I will add a couple more videos that I think is important for the course, but I'm not adding another song to Mix. If you're part of the Mixdown Coaching Community, I will run a Mixing Walkthrough video of the song you've heard in this video. Doors for the Mixdown Coaching Community are closed right now, but I will open the doors to new members in ealy 2022
That 2 K cut on the EQ is a nice subtle trick! Thanks! Subscribed.
Glad you like it!
This is some great content. Well done, my guy.
Thanks, bro!
amazing video Chris, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Of course! Glad you liked it!
Excellent advice. Thank you.
Great tutorial thanks
Wow... I've been mixing my own music for over a decade and never thought about adding effects to the reverb. Thanks for the video!
Happy to help!
Great tips and tricks, Chris!
Glad you liked them! Thanks!
This is just great! Thank you!
You're welcome!
The simple and best explanation of how to use reverb on Vox.
Thanks!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Pretty nice! At last I got an Idea about using reverb properly. Also quite enlightening is the amount and the tempo of the delay that is heard after stopping. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
I'm gonna have to stop watching your videos for a bit while I'm trying to get our bands 10 song project mixed. Everytime I watch another tips video I end up with 10 songs to go fix! Lmao!!
Seriously, it already sounds pretty darn good for a first try thanks to hours and hours spent learning from you man!!
Too many things to even mention here.
Thanks so friggin much Chris, from "Introducing Maelstrom".
We're having a blast doing this!!
Cheers 🍻
Thanks for sharing this, Steve! That's awesome!
I just shared this with my friends! Amazing and thank you sooooo much for this!
You're welcome!
Thank you!! The sidechain compression of the reverb was very helpful. I always asked myself how people get the reverb sound so far away when the singer sings and when he stops it rings out! I always thought its a special reverb, but thats the trick!
automating the reverb is the trick
@@michaeltravis3562 Yo, thats a good Idea too! Thanks.
I love your lessons sir... Thank you so much
I use fl studio but I understood every single tips thank you that was such a great video
Thanks!
Great as always.
Thanks again!
Great tutorial. That helped me a lot. By the way, I’ve never heard better mixed drums. They sound great and leave so much space for bass guitar and vocals.
Oh wow! Thanks!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Nice one Chris, some great tips here
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Veery helpful and very well explained. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
good tips! thanks :)
Superb.
Thank you very much Chris, this was very useful
You're very welcome!
Thank you, so much.🙂👍🏿
I'm glad that they're still bands out there good enough to let the sound man play with the mix instead of just fix it
Man this were the tips I needed
Amazing Video, Thanks
Thank you too!
Thank you
definitely learned something new about reverb
Thank you, Chris
My pleasure!
Geat tipps, thx selim👍
You're welcome
This is such a great tutorial so far about reverb and how to make it greater to fit in the mix , it is very settle. However, you missed out to mention that the FX send has to be pre-fader instead of post-fader or post-pan because of its internal performance influence and independent control that you can have when having the send FX pre or post.
Very cool Chris, thanks so much! I've also used the sidechain technique for reverb on two projects and find it very helpful. Great tip! Otherwise I also split the vocal tracks or automate the send levels. Cheers Chris! :-)
You're welcome, Frank! Glad you enjoyed this video :-)
ruclips.net/video/8NQsvnz0RFY/видео.html
Great tips as usual. :-)
Glad you like them, Paul!
New subscriber here. Thank you for the great information, I enjoyed your video!
This is nice
Very usefull thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
For my part I’m a fan of your sixth trick (the hidden bonus one! ) which is to split the verses and the choruses on two separate channels. Also useful for overlaps…
You got this one right! It's very practical I have to say!
love your thoughts Chris.... maybe most here are like me with semi-powerful home DAWs and work on personal projects?... in most pro DAWs it's unlimited tracks, or more than we can use (or keep track of) so i like to get the vocal eq'd and compressed. add what fx in the chain, then duplicate the main track as many times as fx i may use.
2 tracks for plug-in chains. 1 track for pasted echoes. maybe 1 more track for filtered resonant voice if warranted. that's 5 tracks... mute the fx in main and the fx not used in other tracks, even delete unused plug-ins if CPU power is an issue.
by doing this we have control of everything within each track, even kicking the audio a few ms for phasing or chorus... we can easily automate each track so delay backs off but verb hangs in without affecting the whole chain etc... may even wish to have that "ol' radio" sound in parts and back to lush verbs with backings... i like to make a wave file out of some fx tracks and bring in on new tracks so i can further play with it like an ADSR envelope. also possible to time stretch, reverse, and more..... and when we make an fx file we may just be able to capture a little bit of magic especially if using wah, phaser, chorus type fx.
it's all up to the imagination... a lot of the time less is more... if fx are to be used it's best to do as Chris says and keep the main dry.
best tip... buy the most silent mic you can for your budget. Rode make some awesome mics with a noise floor of about 7db-10db for reasonable $$.... with a low noise floor it's truly amazing how much better fx can sound without the presence of airy hiss. decent interface helps too.
if you make dirty low-fi type sound then noise floor isn't an issue. you could use an old tape recorder mic if that's what gives the sound you're looking for... the rest gets hidden in the mix or cleaned with software.
So interesting...
Love from India
Wow 🙏 respect to the boss
Thanks!
thank u
Good video
Thank you Chris
Very welcome
@@mixdownonline 🙂🙂
Thank U very much 👍
Most welcome 😊
Nice Selim abi 👏🏻
Thanks!
Nice... I have Roland Space Echo in my rack too :)
Great tutorial !
Regarding tip#1: would you need one FX channel for each source/dry channel or would you send multiple source/dry channels to the same FX channel ?
Multiple for me. 8)
Great tutorial! Are these trix also valid for vocals in punk and rock with a lot of distorted guitars or do you have to think in another way?
Great video. Panning reverbs can be useful also (#6 on the list maybe.) Btw, I see that you use the Britson channel. Is that your preferred console emulation?
Yes, thanks for sharing your Tip :-) The Britson is one of my favorite Console Emu. The Waves NLS is also pretty awesome imo
You have excellent videos Chris! I have watched few of them. You really are a pro! I have a little question about vocals: is it true that compression raises significantly the sibilance? By the way, do you speak French? Merci beaucoup!
Thanks a lot for this indept lecture. I'm going back to my current projects. About three of them. They'll sure sound a lot better.😇 Bless you real good Sir. Pls where do I find the free guide you talked about?
Thank you again Chris for this very useful video. One question : to EQ the incoming signal of the verb track, why don't you use the "pre" EQ knobs of the channel strip?
Great tips I love the video so helpful. Please I have question, the compressor what number like DB should I leave at when i add it at the fix in cubase..
Fab's Pro-R my namba wann!
That's a good reverb
Hello dear Chris, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too Hani!
pre delay always works great when you calculate with the daw delay before the reverb, just put the 16 notes and be giving you the ms, and from there you go up or down in half.
Another one is to wide the reverb use mid side EQ after the reverb where you cut the high on the mid and push with a shelf about 6k in the side
And one more put a upward comp before the reverb and give motion you can give motion on vocals, snare
Last one combine reverb for vocal (plates or Springs ) the stereo with no predelay and short decay and the mono one with a predelay and long decay.
this is genius!!
this needs a video demonstration
Intrigued
Up know what will be funny and helpfull ! I ve never seen the Dsp Code audio engineerings ading a comp inside the reverb vst itself! with sc option of course !
Fantastic! I learned a lot of this video. I have a question (I also use cubase): how many effect (reverb) is there in the send of your voice track? (The orange bar) Or how do you determine the amount of incoming signal?
Incoming signal is determined by trim and gain...
Things started to get serious from 10:30 🔥
Tried sidechained reverb back in 2011. Tried it recently to see if I still hate it. Yep I still do.
LOL! Fair enough!
Chris KICK ASS video and subject. that helps a bunch. And it helps your running Cubase. I only have Cubase Artist 11 but there is alot of plugins that are the same and that helps
Glad you liked the video, and Yes, Cubase Artist will serve you well
The Decapitator almost sounded like a vocal doubler. Might be cool to put on during a chorus. It also might be nice to add a touch of it AFTER the reverb to 'diffuse' it a bit more.
Exactly! There's a lot of room to experiment with
