    Thank you for making such quality content available for free. My mixes aren't perfect yet, but they've gotten progressively better, and you've been a big help. I continue to fight the sibilance and plosives with physical tricks to cut down some of the energy coming at the mic and also editing tools like the de-esser. Thanks, man.

    • @TheBandGuide

      That’s the exact right way to do it! Even just small improvements in the recording phase allow you to do less in the mixing phase and that adds up to a more natural, pro sound!

    Really cool video. I have never noticed this problem (get use to your own voice) But lately I addressed
    this problem and I noticed (being over 65) my sibilance is much lower frequency than your first example.
    4 to 5 kish. This video clearly explains the process. Thank you so much. I do need to play with GarageBand
    plug in first to appreciate the plugin you suggested.

    wow there is so much to audio mixing. I really just wanted to sing and play my guitar and free style to beats. But it seem I can't just put that out without a video because I don't have enough vocal and musical training to be perfect compared to those who have trained for years or have a professional mixer fix all the imperfections. I guess I was very naive getting into music. It's nice to do as a hobby but as soon as I get serious it seems there is a wall of things I have to do before I even put anything on soundcloud. I guess I'm learning my lesson to respect every discipline regardless of their pay or attractiveness. Everything in life takes time to build skill, or money to buy someone else's skill it seems.

    Facilitating stuff Colin. To actually hear the sibilance on the TDR nova really is great. It's proof you've hit the right spot. To you happen to know is there a stock logic feature that does something similar?

    • @TheBandGuide
      @TheBandGuide  2 года назад

      It does! The De-esser in Logic has a "Filter solo" button

    Hey Colin! Another great video, always great content, been using garage band for years.
    I’m sure you’ve answered this many times but, can you release music onto the usual platforms using loops and beats etc from garage band? I’m always assumed you can’t, but never actually bothered asking. Thanks I’m advance 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    Keep up the great work

    I scream like the devil which I find totally acceptable!
    However, the faint-hearted find this terrifying, and sometimes this is not the screaming, but the glass-cracking sibilance up there in the sixth octave, where only the devil treads.
    So, this was a great reminder thank you.
    If you want to hear harsh esses Colin, you are welcome for tea anytime!
    Best wishes.. always good stuff on this channel, though do please consider that your hair might offend bald people now and then! 😉🤣😂

    Colin a double question. If the reverb and delay on the whole mix are part of a send. Can you put EQ after them
    to do the Abbey road trick. If not how do you do the Abbey Road trick in GarageBand. (by pass the highs and lows).
    Love your videos. Than you sooooo much for them.

  • @claralaw3462
    @claralaw3462 Год назад

    Great video! I tried the deesser after I set the EQ then the deesser canceled the previous EQ setting. Did I do that in the wrong order or do they reset each other?

    I watched the part twice where you saw the "s" frequency around 9k htz, but I still couldn't differentiate it from all the other ones. Could you please go over again how you could pick that out? Thanks Colin! P.s. do you think the Scheps Omni Channel de-esser would be any better or just the same as the stock GarageBand one? I have that one but haven't used it yet.
