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
I discovered this channel a week ago, I saw about half of your videos and you can't imagine how much I improved. A video of creative vocals it would be interesting :)
Pls 2 qstns - are you really panning this hard left and right vocal? What about mobile devices etc., would this work? And second - to save CPU, cant I just make "BACKS BUS" and compress em all at once? Does this have different impact?
great tutorial Austin! is there any reason why you're just not using cubase group tracks to process more than one similar track at once, so you don't have to copy and paste all the plugins all the time?
English isn't my mother language and you speak very fast! It's kinda hard to follow you up haha, but is worth it y really like your tips! They helped me a lot. Great conten!
😅 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!
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.
Love your videos. I always try to. immitate what you are doing but i do have my problems with hearing the slight changes of the compression. I do use 770s headphones. still. i struggle. again. love your videos i stopped counting how often i watched them over and over 🔥🔥🔥
I only like doing buss processing if I want to process everything as a group. I think main vocals should all get their own treatment and then go to a buss all together.
Hi, Thank you, your videos are really great! It seems you got rid of the breaths even in the lead vocals track, was it on purpose? Maybe that's the main reason it sounded a bit harsh after cutting breaths?
I think my mic is adding strange artifacts. How can you test whether it's the mic or the environment? Vibration of the other elements like the pop filter or the stand. I have foam on the angled walls. Prob not the easiest question to answer
This video was just a JZ BH-2 going into my Apollo! It's always either the Slate ML-1 into their preamp into my Apollo or the JZ BH-2 into the Apollo! No other outboard or analog processing. Then it's just tuning and whatever you see on the inserts and sends :D
@@MakePopMusic ohh and let me add, you should start a discord server for you channel aswell, its a real easy place for people to collab and help each other out
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.
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.
Thank you so much! Please do smth about Tame impala/kevin parker producing tricks/techniques or sounds It will get you more fans and also he has gret talent for pop music
wow u have beautiful eyes bro, im not gay btw. I kinda recognised all supertalented people always have smtn in their eyes :D. Btw very cool tutorial. Im making pop for 13 years (since my cca 16) and this is still new and useful information for me. Greetings from Czech Republic
I'm actually kind of angry that cubase has a decent built in vocalign and melodyne that makes the process so much easier. @ableton when you going to push some real updates
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.
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.
dude honestly, most useful and inspiring content on YT when it comes to "how to make freaking pop music"
thanks so much for creating!
Dude please do a instrumental breakdown for this song!
Literally came out the day I started mixing my Background Vocals! Love the channel!
hahaha very much the same in my case
Same
This channel has been helping me soooo much with mixing an album, thank you guys
When i have somes issues, you make a video about it , love you Austin, thank's a lot !
BG's are such a crucial element to modern music! I always struggle to get them to sit perfectly in the mix -awesome video!
Austin is so helpful for me. thank youfor everything Austin.
This is so good. Please do the adlibs one. And I really wanted to learn about recording harmonies.
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

One of my favorite channels
Cubase is so underrated I feel like there’s so much to Cubase I haven’t even scratched the surface.
Love how those bgvs sound 🔥
I keep having an issue with vocal mixing these days
What a coincidence
This one was really a big help👍
Same goes for me :)
Great tips for working with background vocals!
Awesome, thanks for the tips. Song sounds wicked. Definitely need that follow up videos for creative background vox's and adlibs and stuff!
Is this song released on any platforms yet? It's really catchy
Such a great and concise video. Thanks so much. Subbed.
Love your videos! Thank you!
Great video as always
Pls 2 qstns - are you really panning this hard left and right vocal? What about mobile devices etc., would this work? And second - to save CPU, cant I just make "BACKS BUS" and compress em all at once? Does this have different impact?
Austin , it's all helpful !
Thanks for the videos, they're really helpful and informative!
Great tips thank my friend
Where can we find this song?
great tutorial Austin! is there any reason why you're just not using cubase group tracks to process more than one similar track at once, so you don't have to copy and paste all the plugins all the time?
Maybe it's because the vocals are not same. Low and kid harmony etc
thank you so-so much. you are the best!
English isn't my mother language and you speak very fast! It's kinda hard to follow you up haha, but is worth it y really like your tips! They helped me a lot. Great conten!
I watch them on 0.75 speed!

what daw is he using ?
Wow thanks so much

Where can I listen that song complety? Please. Sound great but I cant find in spotify.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial, you're the man!
One more question. Do you have a course on your site on arranging brass and woodwinds for musical scores?
Love your videos. I always try to. immitate what you are doing but i do have my problems with hearing the slight changes of the compression. I do use 770s headphones. still. i struggle. again. love your videos i stopped counting how often i watched them over and over 🔥🔥🔥
AWESOME!
Dem.. Cubase is just a beautiful mixing Daw..
It's sick😍😍
Please, make a video on some initial stuff of mixing, like gain staging, setting levels with real examples🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So you process your vocals individually. Not in a bus or group
Austin great video, man. Where can I find this full song? I just went looking on spotify and RUclips music with no luck. The hook is INFECTIOUS.
It was just something I made for the tutorial. It’s sitting on a hard drive with all my other unused demo songs 😂
@@MakePopMusic broooo release the chorus!!
Thanks for sharing your process! What Reverb are you using?
Is it ok to use a buss instead of adding plugins to the tracks directly?
I only like doing buss processing if I want to process everything as a group. I think main vocals should all get their own treatment and then go to a buss all together.
@@MakePopMusic thanks man!!!!
Hey please can you kindly make tutorial on how to duck a beat like make space for a vocal in a 2-track beat(instrumental)
Wow. the first few seconds into the video and I'm blown.
Austin, what version of Cubase are you on? I'm still on 7.
Hi,
Thank you, your videos are really great!
It seems you got rid of the breaths even in the lead vocals track, was it on purpose? Maybe that's the main reason it sounded a bit harsh after cutting breaths?
CAN all the lead vocals feed from a group channel?
any other ways to align audio if in a different daw?
Revoice or vocalign
First comment! Been waiting for this one bro 🙌🏽
You got a really nice voice bro
make a production breakdown of the instrumental please! amazing as always thank you 💙
Love your content
I think my mic is adding strange artifacts. How can you test whether it's the mic or the environment? Vibration of the other elements like the pop filter or the stand. I have foam on the angled walls. Prob not the easiest question to answer
i did vocal time and pitch align for DT's. As a result the bg vox tracks re masking . Phase cancellation is happening
Great stuff
i really would like to see your apollo twin vocal chain
Legend 💯
hello witch is the sound you used after de backround vocal thank in advance
ohh question i always wonder is what is your vocal chain going into cubase
This video was just a JZ BH-2 going into my Apollo! It's always either the Slate ML-1 into their preamp into my Apollo or the JZ BH-2 into the Apollo! No other outboard or analog processing. Then it's just tuning and whatever you see on the inserts and sends :D
@@MakePopMusic awesome , thank you. also do u use the clean preamp signal from the apollo, or a colored preamp emulation with a UA plugin
@@MakePopMusic ohh and let me add, you should start a discord server for you channel aswell, its a real easy place for people to collab and help each other out
@@Pishposhing Clean! Just straight pre.
NICE

Amazing, love it!! Can you make a latin guitar track or like a Pop Diva Track?
Nice
Please start to finish make pop music😁🙏😇
Beginner here: so what app is this? All apps can do this?
Can someone give me some good app options to use? Free or paid is fine
I recommend Logic Pro or Pro Tools for beginners, as they are the most popular. But yes all recording apps (DAWs) have the same features.
The program Austin uses is called Cubase.
Use Reaper ist free
damn last time i was this early 6ix9ine was still in jail
try to make a song using jazzy chords. welcome😊
Good video! Can You Make how to make music like Panama? Cheers
Saludos bro!
stupid question what daw is he using
Cubase 10 pro!
Thank you so much!

Cubase really came with the sauce with their native editing functions.
@@MakePopMusic everyone forgets about Reason. This DAW is competing Cubase very well in terms of vocal correction.
What is this song name?
Just something I made for the video. 😁
2:40
Do how to make a Harry styles song
Yeah, that would have been cool :)
You missed point 6- routing all bgv to one AUX bus and treat them together instead of processing each track individually
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.
@@MakePopMusic ok thanks I was wondering if it's for purpose

Is a mustache required for this? Because I might be in trouble
Def recommended but not required 😂
all production tricks in the world won't help you if you don't have the SONGS.
Of course. 😊
What in the name of general statements?
