Head on over to www.helpmedevvon.info for more bells and whistles!
What takes the sounds in front ? volume knobs ??, gain level ? or compressors?? I watched the art of mixing video by david gibson. Can you make a newer version of that using new tools and modern mixing using modern software tools, with live examples???
Cubase Template? ✌🏼
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Collin Joey Instablaster :)
@Caleb Lyric Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
The music be just as good as the gems dropped
Tru🔥🔥🔥💯👊
Damn you just covered the 20% [using parallel compression for mastering] I needed for me to be 100% confident with my parallel compression technique man, may the universe and all vibrational good energy bless you!
man your channel is like a gold mine, you helped me out so much. thank you for all your work and help
Parallel makes vocal pop cut through the mix.
What is parallel compression: copy of the vocal. Take the duplicate and compress it to the max, no dynamics. Blend the super compressed with the dynamic semi compressed.
How does he set it up
Sends, to a bus, a track
Create a send, send it to a track
Puts a NLS on the track
Cla-76 waves all ratio
Attack fastest
Release medium
Look for around -10 range gain reduction
Move to a limiter
L1 limiter
Threshold -14.3
Out -8.1
Optional steps
EQ
Roll off the low end
Last
SSL channel
Take off 3.5 khz range
Fader set to -25.4
Bring it all the way down then find sweet spot
Thank you so much ! So helpful 🔥
I can’t believe there’s a downvote on your content! Aside from that thank you for all of your videos and music you share with us. 👍 Much appreciated!!
Great job thank you
The attack on the CLA is actually set for the slowest possible isn't it? You said fastest, but the knob seems to be to the slowest
This is genius. Basically you can keep the tone and make it louder without affecting the dynamics or clipping it. I do something similar with multiband compressors, but I clone and mix the tracks separately to get the tone I want. I never thought to put the source thru a send first. I'm not an expert on vocal mixing so techniques like this always blow my mind.
If you put an EQ on the parallel, make sure that it is set to linear phase mode if it sounds off when you do apply the EQ. Look out for this especially on drums and bass.
Great video btw!
Damn. Thanks a lot devvon. I was hearing this kind of sound in many songs and i didn't know what it was. Now i know it's parallel compression.
P.s. I've heard about parallel compression before, but I've seen so many bad tutorials on RUclips that i didn't know that it brings this kind of sound. I thought in the beginning that this technic is bad, but it's awesome
It’s so powerful man!!
I cant believe how good the mix sounds most vids got some mid song but this shitt soo heat everytime u played it I was blown away
Yes usually the example songs on other channels are absolutely horrible 😂
This was SO helpful!! Thank you very much for demystifying the concept of parallel compression for me. I'd seen the topic come up several times on different message boards as I recently began my foray into drum compressing techniques but never knew how to accomplish it. You're great at what you do, and I appreciate your time and efforts! Cheers, man! Definitely subscribed! :)
im bit confused bro u said I want to set my attack fastest I possibly can, but you set maximum. Anyways, thanks!
I was wondering about that also. He has said it in other videos. I thought I had been using the attack compressors wrong
On the CLA-76 the directions are backwards. So to set a fast attack or release you switch the knob to the right. If you want a slower release or a attack you set the knob to the left.
Yea you’re just reading it wrong to the far left on the CLA is slower and the far right is faster
ok but do you compress your vocals on original track as well (seprately from parallel compression)??
Still waiting for your vocal presets to be available on logic........
So do you send all of the tracks that you wanna use parallel compression on to that same bus? Or do you create a different bus for every track?
Same question here!
Yo is this song on Apple Music?
i got a list of like 8 youtube channels ima have to thank and give a shout out to when im charting on billboards, first person getting a shoutout and BIG thank you is YOU Devvon. bro, i been watching all your tutorials for over a year now and you have helped me improve so much bro bro. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and information, its delivered in a very professional way and its so thorough and your energy is always up man! thank you Devvon. you tha man!
I could really use some help!! I’m on Pro Tools…I used this chain for one session and it worked great, I used it for another session and now I’m getting phase/feedback issues whenever I add the L1. How is this possible?!?! Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏
are you still doing a bit of compression on the main one when doing this?
Heck yea of courseeee mix your vocal like you normally would!
What are your thoughts on the free SPECOMP compressor from Analogue Obsession? For me it goes toe-to-toe with the CLA-76 and it's FREE.
Hey bro I wanna listen your song
That song you'd play in loud mastering video so badly 😭 plz
Sounds good Devvon... cept in my PT LE when I create an AUX I don't see any prefader option and for the parrellel comp I don't see in the send draw bar I don't see parallel comp? What do I do ?
Hey @HelpMeDevvon I'm trying to understand the attack/release concept a little better. On the CLA-76 plugin, the attack time is set to the "fastest" time which is at 7 but I thought the lower the ms time, the fastest the attack is?
Ok bro I noticed that you used all mono fx except for the f6 eq when you rolled off some low-end, was that on purpose??🤷🏿♂️
does anyone know how much you're supposed to send to the parallel bus? everything?
dude thank you for tha time and effort you put into teaching and make these videos. very detailed and meant to truly understand what you're learning. I wasn't making too much progress until I found your channel.
im convinced that hats are your engineering alter ego from your artist form lmao
I actually put a Compressor at about 6:1 on a return channel... Wack the send up all the way on channel wanting to use on and then mix In with the return channels fader..... Guess it's the same.... I thought by not having a duplicate it would help save cpu by doing it this way....?
WHY DIDN’T YOU EXAGGERATE THE PARALLEL COMPRESSOR 🤔🧐 THAT WOULD’VE HELPED EVEN MORE
Great now all I need is better headphones and speakers. Bhahaha. Thank God the genelecs do there job in the studio. Quick question, did many of you guys hear a difference with a cheaper set of speakers when watching his video. I noticed I couldn’t hear a major difference until I watched this video on in the studio. I watched it on my computer speakers and couldn’t really tell the difference apart from a louder mix? Thoughts ? I know many people these days also only listen to mp3 which would also lack in quality of a better mix
I have a question :
If I use a send to send my lead vocal signal to a parallel comp aux it will be the signal without the reverbs and delay right ? I mean, when i'll be adding the compressed signal it will ad "dry" compressed signal. Is this the right way to use parallel compression ? Or should I send all my vocals + rev and delays to a bus and then send this bus to my parallel compression aux ?
You can experiment and see what sounds better. I usually go for a wet signal, since the dry signal can have a bunch of problem frequencies and transients
it's good for the voice ?
small correction its not a copy when you are just routing to a bus. VERY confusing 1st time watching this and trying to understand where is this copy You mentioned.
Am I the only one who just uses OTT on the voice, put the depth on a 100, and after that slap Soundgoodizer on the voice and sausage fattener and you got some thick throbbing vocals, my friend. Thank me Later ;)
Who are you Chris Brown vocal twin lol. Excellent video your track sounds so good😄.
Devonn you should definitely do an update on your parallel compression using MV2 i saw it the other day in one of ur reels , saying how u dropped the CLA-76
WAITTT ⚠️⚠️⚠️ have you lied
stole
Had sex outside of marriage
have you used God’s name as a cuss word
have you hated someone ?
if so is humans have broken the 10 commandments
if you have broken even one we need Gods mercy that’s why Jesus offers His death to sinners so we can be saved
all sin shall be punished
but if we turn away from sin and Trust in Jesus Christ we can be saved and obtain God’s Grace❤️❤️ you could die any hour
alright bro.... i love your videos...but i keep running into phase cancellation issues while i am doing parallel compression on my vocals..its only on the parts of the vocal with auto tune... i need help yo!! please respond.lol
Do you set the output of the Parallel Comp to Stereo Out or send back into the original instrument bus?
My man knows his shit goddamn 🔥 and the way you explain things is so clear and easy to understand too
Ayo! how do I acquire more busses⁉Pro tools maxes me out at like 25 busses, someone pls help !
Damn, this is a good tutorial. Question though- do you still use compression on the vocal track that isnt the parallel compression one?
Yea he does
this maybe an amateur question but when u parallel comp vocs. are ur duplicate vocs bein compressed wit all tha fx of tha originals in place or are u sendin tha raw version to be parallel compressed? im sure its not tha latter. i jus want that to be made clear.
Devvon, I noticed you had a send on your vox par, is there any way you can explain maybe with another video or here in the comments as to why and what that send is doing in the overall mix? thank you in advance.
Is the copy from the Parallel compression a copy of the original vocal pre-plug-ins or a copy of the original vocal post plug-ins?
Post
Not necessarily, but usually
▅▃Floundso▃▅ So what you hear in the parallel track with no plug-ins on it, is basically the processed original track rite?
@@pyramade2803 yes, and you squash that copy of the processed track
GREAT QUESTION! It’s PREEEEEE
Returned back to this! Would it be possible to get more info on how the original signal should be processed?
Great vid.
I think my ears are shot
Couldn’t hear the difference, may need my cans
1:55 "so you can here a huge difference"... I was still waiting for you to turn it off...
Thanks for the insight fellow sir . Keep dropping the content 🔔 🫡💯
Thank you for making this video Devvon! I now use the same approach to parallel compression after watching this and it has totally improved the sound of my music!! You're THE man!!! Best wishes for you in 2023 👍🏻
So this method instead/over the ssl g master buss compressor method you showed us previously ?
I did not know there were "shoulds" in music and creativity
I’ve been using parallel compression with R-Vox is that good? Since it’s known for gluing beat and vocals... never heard of anyone doing it though
If it sounds good to you then use it
@@john-a5472 strongly agree
R Vox is probably even better because it works like a limiter for vocals so for sure run with it!
@@HelpMeDevvon so when using the R vox we dont need the limiter then ?
Feeder 123 the way I used it was: I gain staged all vocals punch in regions to a peak of -6dbs, then added clip gain to each track to -10 to give me headroom for plugins and then when I put my p comp on a bus and added all vocals to to that bus, and with the R-Vox, raised the compression till I got like -6 to -8 dB of a reduction, then used the limiter on the R-Vox to get my song up to like -6db on the actual master fader to ensure it was ready for mastering as it was my last plugin I added to all vocals.... oh and I blend it of course so it’s not odeee
could you use an external buss comp for the Parrell compression
Dam bro. Thx so much for this vid man. Mostly all ur vids. They help me out 🙏 bless
Exoticz your welcome 😎😎😎
Awesome channel! Have a look at our account and subscribe if you enjoy it 🙌
How does this apply to a vocal effects bus? Is this done, then sent to the effects bus?
When I do parallel compression I like to smack the audio as hard as I can
And also like to pair it with a parallel limiter
This trick is just amazing. Thank u for your relevant and awesome tutorials. Love your channel😍
First
Great video my Dood! Thanks for the info!
This is a phenomenal RUclips channel, thanks for your tutorials, I'll be watching all of them.
Should the original signal be pre or post fader???
I aint gone lie...this is the best on the net about PC! good shyt my dawg!
Whats mixpara? That you have in for send j-f
How do you setup PRE-Fader on fl studio
i tried everything and other tutorials and the parallel sounds like shit unless i turn it way down and then its hardly doing anything
I think you're confusing the attack, the fastest time is the pre-delay for the comp to compress, it should be all the way to the left
Oh shit are u sure because I've been doing it the way he did it.
Thanks so much Devvon. Amazing as always. Would you recommend sending all (double vocals and harmonies) through to parallel compression or just the main lead vocal? THANKS!
same question, have you found the answer?
all bro
Great explanation. Amazing technique. Thanks for sharing
is it a bad thing to re use the same settings for plugins on different projects?
wait i thought on the CLA-76 1 meant fast and 7 meant slow for attack and release ..😬
No, it is the opposite
I heard this too which one is true with the cla 76?
a doubler doesnt do the same thing?
Not one musical instrument to be heard in this video.
Bro 1 year ago i was clueless of what this was!!!🔥🔥
I’m just here to say, besides your musical talent, you are a great teacher.
Thank you!
You explain so well, its crazy haha
You're a beast ! Love you Devon, I can feel your passion for music at every second of your videos !!
Is there any way possible you can do a parallel compression tutorial for FL20?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
1. Route individual tracks to the mixer
2. Route all tracks that you want to be parallel compressed to a free insert in the mixer (Bus) (Route this Bus to a Mix Bus or the Master Track)
3. Same as Step 2 but instead of ROUTING to another free insert, SIDECHAIN to another free insert. (Sidechain in FL Studio is basically a Send) (Make sure each track is "sent" to this insert) (Route this "Send" track to the Bus in Step 2)
Signal Flow: Tracks (Instruments, Drums, or Bass) --ROUTE--> Bus --ROUTE--> Mix Bus or Master
Tracks --SIDECHAIN--> Parallel Bus (also called a Send) --ROUTE--> Bus
This is just a basic signal flow and can be routed differently if you choose to.
Ex. You want to create a Drum Bus but not include cymbals or bass so you create a separate Bus and/or Parallel Bus
Comment before liking. Coz I trust d content ❤️

When you say stuff like "you can hear a huge difference!" it makes me feel stupid. I've been mixing music for 24 years and I can hear a subtle difference AT BEST. Truthfully I hear no difference. I believe that you hear a huge difference because your ears are trained. But to anyone who's here to learn something, they probably need to learn to train their ears as well. Thanks for the tips and I'm glad everyone loves your channel and your advice. But this didn't help me at all.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i feel you sir
Thank you bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You're such a blessing!
God bless you 😇
Hey Devon I appreciate your Tutorials a lot. I love the sound this Parallel Compression adds to the Vocals but if I try to do it on my own I get Phasing Problems. Any Tips on how to avoid/correct this ?
There may be an issue with your delay compensation with your plugins and faders
I like your shit bruh you cool deadass
Learning more here than in college for this
much much much love ! you the goat🐐
Is your CLA 76 stereo or mono??
Thank you very much...🙏
Sorry, I don' hear the difference.
Try I heart NY plug in. It does this even faster.
Thanks bro ima check it out. It’s by “BABY Audio” for anyone else interested
Did he say I do do sometimes? 🤔🤣🤣
Whats this song called cus i like it
So informative ❤
Thank you for the tutorials devon
Should I send the vocal to the parallel compression before I do eq, normal compression and things, or after ?
Thats what i also ask myself
Yo! Where can i get that song?
Bruh you are a gifted teacher!!! You have a degree in teacher education? You are an effective teacher. I don't use any of your DAWS (I use LUNA) but your explanations are so clear and organized by thought process that I know exactly how to apply to my DAW. I'm ready to sign up for classes!
