Live and studio guy here 40+ years- You're standing in a large room, first thing you hear is a delay slap from the back wall (with much less highs than the original), then that delay bounces around and decays into reverb. I put a delay on the vox (250-450 ms, depending on tempo), roll off everything above 5k, then feed that delay into the reverb, the reverb having a bit more pre-delay. This is how delay and reverb develop in a room. Using this live also puts distance between the original and the effect, warms up the DDL and verb, and reduces the chance of feedback, as effects in a live mix will destabilize an otherwise stable vocal mix. This also makes the original very clean as there are no immediate effects to clash. I do like your suggestion here 'tho, as it does emulate that distance between the original and the effect, and also cleans up the vocal as it's happening.
@@peegh5766He is talking about EQing the wet reverb signal, not the dry vocal signal. EQing reverbs to 250 will definitely not thin the track. A lot of Abbey Road reverbs are high passed to 600hz. Give it a try
I really like sending the delay send to the reverb send as well, so you get those additional reflections but also have the delay by itself as well, sounds super sweet.
Yes to this. Dry delay is a mood, but it's not always the one I want. Sometimes I'll even send so much delay to the reverb bus that the original delay signal practically disappears and is more "felt" than heard
WWWOOWW! Side-chain compressor on effects to the vocals, it's so obvious and genius! I'm in sound engineering for 20 years and this thought has never come to my mind :) Awesome to learn something new, and I love how simple this thing is :))
In the old days we used pre-delay to push the reverb off the vocals but also used compression on the reverb to make it bloom like you are doing here. Gets the reverb wash off the vocals but still has plenty of reverb for an effect.
It’s easier and takes less cpu if you make a “space” bus taking input from your other buses (delay, verb) w all your spatial effects and then side chain that
@@alexwhittlee it's simple bro ...so follow these instruction.....so all your reverb and delays add a buss for them so you can affect all those sends ...then add a compressor and sidechain it to the vocals ...that's it
You'll lose control if u do it that way tho, since you'd only have one compressor ducking everything. All ur effects will be ducked by da same amount too. *Just saying
This makes such a difference! I’ve been doing something similar to get those nice rich reverb tails that cut through the mix without making the vocal sound like it’s in the shower.
@Xavi-Cam not exactly… you’d have to manually duck the reverb with automation with the wet dry fader and because this uses side-chain compression to duck the reverb it will give a bit different sound regardless. Besides it’s better to use a send for reverb anyway since you can play with the sound more and even use additional plugins with your reverb to shape things.
There are also reverbs and delays out there like Orilriver, (which sounds fantastic and is free),that has ducking built right into the plug-in so you don’t even have to compress after the effect.
Brilliant, clear example. I watched, then immediately jumped over to my DAW to pull up my last mix. I went to sidechain and ... very unfortunately it doesn't have side-chaining (Vegas Pro). But still, when I send 100% of my dry vocal signal to a bus, put 100% wet reverb on it, and then quickly and heavily compress the reverb effect before blending it back in, this does the trick pretty damn well. Still gives me the clean yet lush result you hype, way better results than a straight reverb blend, and a big improvement even without the sidechain. Thanks so much for the brilliant insight!!
Streaky mate fair play. Some of your old videos have sub 20k views and this has 450k in 2 months. I’ve been watching/listening/learning and studying with you for probably 4 years+ but well done brother, that’s a lot of good work!
This is cool. Depending on the dynamics of the vocal performance, you can create some really cool effects by experimenting with the threshold. You can make softer parts really cloudy and airy and the louder parts piercing and edgy.
This definitely cleans up the vocal really nicely, but the original tone is also really fun. I don't think either is better, it just depends stylistically what you're going for. The superwashed vocals on the original is really nostalgic and messy, the sidechain compressed vocals are very The Weeknd and sound fantastic and clean.
I record my vocals and guitar parts at home on logic to a guide drum and click track before sending to my producer who does all the amazing magic that guys like you bring to make my average vocals sound far too good haha. Love this trick though - so utterly noticeable the change in clarity that putting the compressor in front on the vocals via buses. This is why I "stay in my lane" and know my place is to write and perform the song and let someone who understands my music and has the experience and skills to mix and produce it to the highest level. Music is a collaborative artform and without dedicated, talented people like Streaky and thousands more, I would just make rough demos instead of deeply satisfying finished tracks I, and everyone involved, can feel proud of making. What I'm saying is, as much as I find what you wizards do fascinating and need to know the basics to get a decent recording of my tracks done, once I have done my job I need to let the pros take over and offer my input when it comes to the final mix. I think too many people try to be jack of all trades and master of none these days. Gawd bless you sir and all other who sail the high seas of mixing and producing. Us howlers and twangers would be nothing without you 😎😎😎😎
Well said and agree....however current finances are kind of putting me in a position to be a decent jack of the mixing/mastering trade....plus its pretty fascinating to learn
Great explanation for "ducked Reverb". In Reaper You don't even need separate tracks. You can use the internal routing in an FX chain for this, and even create a "Container" for the Ducked Reverb configuration, sore same and use use them in any FX chain like a single plugin.
@@musicmaestrodj I suppose there are videos by Kenny Gioia on "Pin Routing" e.g. "Parallel FX on the Same Track in REAPER" (I don't dare to post links here) OTOH there is a much praised new Reaper 7 Script that provides a graphical user interface for this (including "containers", which allow better structuring and saving parts of an FX chain in a file similar to a "meta-Plugin"), needing no explanation, Search "V7 Script : Paranormal FX Router - Parallel FX " (to be installed via ReaPack, Sexan's repository)
This is really cool thanks for the demo. An add on to the trick for singers who throw away the last note on a line or go flat is to bring the full reverb back at those instances. That brings up a whole new continuity issue with the mix as a whole but it can be useful. Especially when working with indie singers.
Slight hack to this: Send to fx bus, use the same send AS the sidechain key input on a trackspacer by wavesfactory behind the effects on said bus. I like trackspacer for this vs a 1-band compressor.
I don’t how I just found your channel, but I’m g,as I did. I’ve watched a million mix videos and so far the 2 of yours I’ve seen in the last two days are probably the best 2 mix videos I’ve seen.
This has given me an idea to do this for lead guitar work too! When playing huge flurries of notes the delay and reverb can turn everything into a bit of a blur, but you still want that added sustain of the reverb and delay when the notes are ringing out - I think I can do this in real-time with my Fractal Audio AXE FX II unit. Cheers from sunny old (for once this year) Cambridge!
@@harrisfrankou2368 Nice. I've got one of the big beefy Behringer (built like a tank) footswitch boards which has a couple of expression pedals - I've been meaning to do some in-depth programming to control interesting things that you could never do with a purely analog rig.
Nice subtle difference - thanks. I always delay the signal to the reverb by at least 250ms - this really makes the reverb sound leap out in the mix and double track the vocal !
Hey Streaky, thanks for all the content you're producing! It helps a lot. Here's a question that perhaps you could answer in a new video: What's your take on Dolby Atmos and Spatial Audio? Do you plan to upgrade your studio? Anyhow, thanks a again! Cheers.
I just applied it to my new song mix, and this changed the vocal from ok to amazing tight sweet sounding vocal. Thank you so much Streaky for sharing this trick.
Thank you so much for another a banger video you truly are one of the gems on RUclipss when it comes to producing and mixing I've been doing this for years and years and I've seen a lot of crap videos 20 minute long videos and there's only maybe two minutes of gold and I had to sit through it to get to it. Blah lol Anyways thanks for cutting through the fluff! Much love from Detroit! Streaky!
Great trick indeed. Sidechaining is the most important step to get extremely loud EDM mixes. Now this is a nice sorta Nu-Disco track and that in your face agression isn't that important but still. Multiband-sidechaining just the lowend forexample is a really great tool to get some extra loudness out of the mix, but you've probably covered that in a video already. Kids have no idea how blessed they are to get videos like this for free. I had to work and experiment to learn these things back in 2006. When i started doing some EDM stuff! This specific vocal/reverb trick was very common for lead sounds back then in Hard Dance songs!
It's a great tip, and really helped some of my tracks lately. Valhalla Delay now how Ducking in a recent version. Hopefully this will make its way across the Reverbs as well as a built in parameter.
God bless you my friend once again, its a game changer, since I moved to PC recordings from the old system, my voice sounded very thin, now I can hear it much better than before..
Yep. Really old trick. And pre-delay on the reverb. You can also set up two identical reverbs but set one to early reflections and the other to tail only. And get depth that way by putting different vocals and other stuff into different percentages of early reflections and reverb tail. Using both trucks at once create a lot of perceived depth in the 'room'.
Thank you for showing the entire process and the side chain clip too, it’s often overlooked as common knowledge, but for those of us doing things trial and error, there are knowledge gaps that the absence of a basic understanding can prove damning lol! So THANK YOU! Very well done 🎉
I’ve struggled with this for a long time both live and in the studio. Just as soon as you said to side chain the compressor, it all made sense. Thanks so much!
I'm slapping my forhead right now! I had thought about this before. I thought it was done manually but ducking is so obvious! Thanks so much! Subscribed!
would just using a reverb/delay plugin with the ducking option work the same or does it slightly produce a difference sound since it's just sidechaining? very interesting! thank you for the tip!
If your verb/delay has a ducking function with some customisation ability (i.e. gain/threshold and release time) use that instead of using a compressor.
One of the best tips, thank you! I have had this problem with washed vocal since I love reverb and big atmospheric sounds and this tip really helped me understand what I need to do.
This video was suggested to me by RUclips - i.e. I'm just a random viewer - good luck to all you mixers - it's obvious to me now why Simon & Garfunkel never achieved any fame due to the lack of these technological aids 50 or so years ago ........................
What I hear is different styles. One is more reverb and spacey, the other one is less reverb and more in the face with a little not pleasantly compressed sounding, that indeed sound like dua lipa's. I personally liked the reverb one. But that's just my preference. As a producer I have to know how they do it and understand it more. I appreciate the tutorial.
Oups !! Brillant.. thank you ! I used to process it with the predelay trick .. I use compressor to dim it .. but this sidechain compression does it in a better way… you’re the best.
bus reverb and delay(add delay send to reverb bus, sidechain compressor, highpass reverb and delay to play in 250-700hz 0:31 Without trick 3:10 with trick
I've known about the bus thing for a while now but before I had no idea and didn't know how to fix that drowning sound. This really does make a huge difference
another very interesting thing i’ve seen before is for electronic music with heavy reverb/delay effects, sidechaining those effects to the kick as well so the kick cuts through each beat without muddiness
Oh, ok. So you can either add too much reverb to the track and then automated to come up in the Empty spaces Or you can automate automated by ducking it with a compressor So you don't have to change your automation if you change your vocals later And you get the right amount of reverb over the vocal And extra river tail after the vocal. Nice

re you running that chain off a bus and mixing in the vocal separately? Thanks.
am gunna try that today, nice tip cheers
@@AcousticGhosthow did it go?
another tip for clarity is to high pass the reverb/delay up to 250-700 Hz depending on the type of the effect
The song will become thin and tiny on an ATC
@@peegh5766He is talking about EQing the wet reverb signal, not the dry vocal signal. EQing reverbs to 250 will definitely not thin the track. A lot of Abbey Road reverbs are high passed to 600hz. Give it a try
@@colbyg1784 lol how ya do that in Reaper??
Could you please be more specific on what you said, thanks
That's a good trick to keep reverb or delay as its 6 sound. The high pass like this is half the Abbey Road EQ trick.
I really like sending the delay send to the reverb send as well, so you get those additional reflections but also have the delay by itself as well, sounds super sweet.
That what I noticed and was going to ask you , sending bus 2 deals into bus 1...
I gotta try this! Thanks
Yes to this. Dry delay is a mood, but it's not always the one I want. Sometimes I'll even send so much delay to the reverb bus that the original delay signal practically disappears and is more "felt" than heard
Cool have 5 busses small verb delay and big verb...and

Of course. It just makes sense because it's the most effective way to eliminate the parts of the reverb you don't want.
Automation will also take it to the next level precision wise love this video

Sounds sweet, keeps the Vocals tight and at the same time giving you this spacey width to it.
Thats why older music sounds much better then modern tracks.

Thats a really old trick. But it works so good. Trackspacer do the job fast and depend on the frequency.
you can also add in EQ sidechaining if you still want the vocals to have reverb behind them and cut out midtones while the vocals play
Man. Such a great tip. Keeps the effects in the track and reduces washiness! love it, Streaky.
Thanks for sharing that's simply profound!
Really cool technique, Streaky. I'll definitely be using this in my mixes, now. Cheers!

Very cool, I always thought there was some kind of pre-delay trickery involved, but this makes much more sense
I had learned this technique in music prod school, but it's been so many years that I forgot! thanks so much!
Your Ricording software name?
Using an eventide harmonizer long delay is another way to widen up the mix without it sounding drenched in reverb.
Fanbloodytastic trick! Thank you so much Streaky
and the best way is found singer with nice voice, not only pop artist who sing only with many effect over his voice :)

Thanks you for showing me this trick , and this will encourage me to show you more . 😄🙏🙌
Wow, really nice technique!
That song was pretty smooth too!
Using ducking on the reverb / and the delay bus to let the vocal shine then follow with the reverb / delay - Nice!!! LP and HP EQ as well
Oh, ok. So you can either add too much reverb to the track and then automated to come up in the Empty spaces Or you can automate automated by ducking it with a compressor So you don't have to change your automation if you change your vocals later And you get the right amount of reverb over the vocal And extra river tail after the vocal. Nice
Nice tip Streaky,same as i usually do
I usually add eq after the delay and then compressor
Good day Streaky.. Loving your videos..
Would like to ask, can am effect track yeald similar results as the bus? Thank you,
So simple yet helpful! Beautiful! Thanks!
