      @MrItIsFunny 4 года назад

      He already did an adlibs one! It's really dope, you should check it out. But in conclusion its just compressing the shit out of the signal and throwing on autotune, saturation and throwing a massive reverb on it

      😅 Aha, then I'm not the only one who notices this or then makes it known. I happened to have made a similar comment on one of his other videos a few days ago. The speaking voice is really too fast. It is also basically irrelevant whether it is the listener's mother tongue or not. It's not a face-to-face conversation with a friend or neighbor, it's a tutorial. No speaker speaks so quickly in any documentary on television or news, where the relevant relationships as in this music production video have to be formulated. The would not get the job at all. But now quite apart from that: the "protagonist" understands his music production craft as such very well! 👍🏻 After all, we don't just want to scold 😏 Greetings from 🇩🇪

    Sometimes I have this problem that the bgv's sound good in stereo, but too soft when played in mono (with a bluetooth speaker e.g.), probably something with phasing issues? I panned them pretty much the same way you did in this video. Do you have any tips for that? So that the bgv's are just as present in mono as in stereo. Would love to hear from you!

  • @derschorsch2733
    @derschorsch2733 3 года назад

    Great work. Amazing. So much content in one video! Love it!!
    One question. If I use a slap delay on the main center panned vocal. How do I treat doubled vocals on the far left and right and how do I deal with backings?
    Another slap creates mud on doubles and backings.
    However slap in the center and regular reverb for backing do not really match well.
    Maybe I should try harder to get center vocals doubles and backing in the right place.

    Question!! Are my background vocals suppose to sound different every time I play my song on different speakers ex: head phones, car speaker, regular big speaker. Background vocals sound cool on my phone speaker but when listening in my car/ head phones, seems like vocals are turned down and can’t hardly hear them. And the song is already mixed and mastered.

    • @MakePopMusic
      @MakePopMusic  4 года назад

      Sounds like they weren’t mixed properly to translate well. A good mix will carry most of the sonic characteristics over to almost any system they’re played on, at least balance wise.

    • @MakePopMusic
      @MakePopMusic  3 года назад

      Sometimes I prefer to route them to a bus and process them all together if I want more of a constant vocal sound between BGV (think choir vox), but if I am doing a pop track, typically every BGV will get it's own slightly different treatment to give them so extra separation and dimension.

    very informative but the reverb and delay on the lead was sooo distracting. I know it might be better to mix with the lead to really see how it sounds but its was a bit hard to learn what the different mixing tips did with an over bearing lead vocal that made the whole thing sound already mixed. would have liked if you isolated the differences each tip made for learning purposes.

    • @MakePopMusic
      @MakePopMusic  4 года назад +1

      I get where you’re coming from, but I personally think it would be a little counter intuitive to mix background vocals without the context of the lead vocal already mixed. To be honest, it doesn’t really matter what it sounds like isolated, it’s just about how it all comes together. And most of the individual tips were showing the vocals isolated before we put them all together.
