These are all the things I wish I would have known when I first started recording vocals. I hope it's helpful! Thanks for watching :) What else do you want to learn?
Troubleshooting basic things, like a deEsser would be lovely! Idk why but I cannot seem to make my DeEsser work properly, and I swear I have been following videos on setting it up to a T. But yeah, Troubleshooting isn't something I've seen you do.
OMG I finally understand why I sound so cool rapping when I am super close to the mic! People always tell me my rap voice and singing voice sound like a different person- not that I put on a voice, necessarily. I think people are hearing a more deep, grainy voice that I don't really sound like, normally.
Logic's low latency mode is actually so neat. It instantly disables all the plugins that contribute to latency. It's almost all I rely on to avoid latency when recording.
Don't know if this is useful to you, but I figured out that if you have the loop set to on for a section of the song and you record within it, Logic will record each take in the same way you were showing, with the drop down.
i absolutely love your vids valentina. i dont think there is anyone else on YT thats as informative as you are, especially when it comes Logic Pro. Keep cranking them out youre doing awesome!
Very informative video and straight to the point. I do a great job explaining the topic in this video, as well as a lot of your other videos I've watched. Thank you!
I've learned so much watching your videos. Especially the reggaeton videos! I struggle with the bass part of reggaeton. Maybe be you could do another reggaeton beat with some emphasis on what bass you choose (stock or 3rd party plug in) and what your settings are to get a reggaeton bass. Awesome video! 100k subs by July, calling it first!
I'm a quiet singer and I barely hit -18db and only after adding compression and gain(+10 db).If I turn my gain knob on interface louder, it will pic up background noise(plates dropping, people talking, etc)
Do you use any pre amps or plugin pre amps when recording your vocals? Or like you mentioned, record it dry? Love your channel…good stuff! You have a beautiful voice, your songs are amazing… Have you considered one on one coaching through like a zoom session… I have a bunch of questions…. Thx!
Great Video!!!! So most would say record at -18 being that most digital analogue plug ins operate better at -18 meaning 0 analogue.So why do you choose -12 input on recording?
Great video :) I see that your room has a simple acoustic conditioning. My home studio too and I have a lot of early reflections that mess up the redording. Do you solve it with equalization? Thanks a lot.
Question. What if the verse is sung quietly so it requires high input but the refrain is sung loudly which would cause clipping unless the input was turned down.. if that makes sense. In that case is it okay to adjust the input ?
Constructive critisism: Great video, a lot to learn from it. I like that you had planned a structure for the video in 5 steps, but it feels more like 4. or 3 and a half ish. Micplacement, levels, latency, spot on. but organizing clips and comping got kind of puddled together and wasn't really presented or seperate from eachother. If i were to put a timeline on the video, i wouldn't know exactly where to pinpoint the changes between those two. Lists/plans for videos are great, so it's important to stick to them. Lots of love!
I know it’s a topic that’s covered a lot, but setting up the fundamentals so that my future videos on actual mixing and processing the vocals are more useful. It’s easier to process a vocal that is recorded correctly than one that was not. A lot of mixing problems can be fixed with making changes to the way you record. :) thanks for watching!

This was very helpful! Do you recommend recording with the EQ and Compressor enabled or tweaking them afterwards?
Lewitt mics are great. I can’t wait for their Project 1040 to be commercialized
She literally makes the best content for production
Glad you enjoy it :)

One of the dopest and most fresh producers out there and you’re music is so unique!

Very good recording vocal tips Valentina! 🗣 🎶 👍🏽
*She literally makes the best content for production... yes*
How professional she is!!! i really like your channel!!

i absolutely love your vids valentina. i dont think there is anyone else on YT thats as informative as you are, especially when it comes Logic Pro. Keep cranking them out youre doing awesome!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are helping me to solve problems I've been running into as a first year recording engineer.
you're the best valentina! thank you so much for this!
Great video! Learned a bunch of new things that are really going to help me the next time I’m recording vocals for one of my songs!
Glad I could help!
I'm just getting into recording my own vocals and this was honestly incredibly insightful. Thank you for putting out content that actually is helpful.
You're welcome :) glad I could help!

Very informative video and straight to the point. I do a great job explaining the topic in this video, as well as a lot of your other videos I've watched. Thank you!
You explain things very well. Thank you for all of your useful videos.
Thank you for your sharing. This video is so clear and understandable .
Please tell me what mic stand you use. I love how you can really change the position of the mic.
Always dropping gems 💎
Appreciate it 🙏 💯
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Can you send me a link to that mic that was sent to you at the beginning of the vid? I’d like to check it out, thanks 🤗
I've been watching your content since day 1...and truly you are the best.. so shout out all the way from Cadillac Michigan
Thank you !!! Keep making these type of videos. Very helpful .. 💪💪💪
Always learn something great each and everytime!!!

helpful and concise, really appreciate this.

great tips so many i need to relay thank ur stuff is great
Thanks for another great video Val! Doing my best to like and comment on these to help the channel since you've been such a big help to me :)
Thank you for this video! I do have one question. How would you address mouth clicks and such? I struggle with those haha
Very useful info...thnks.😇
Awesome video ☺️
I was so surprised that I knew all of this but I wish I found out all of this in one quick video 2 years ago.
Great Video!!!! So most would say record at -18 being that most digital analogue plug ins operate better at -18 meaning 0 analogue.So why do you choose -12 input on recording?
Great job, so clear 😉
Great video :)
I see that your room has a simple acoustic conditioning. My home studio too and I have a lot of early reflections that mess up the redording. Do you solve it with equalization? Thanks a lot.
PLEASE do a video on mono vs stereo I've been told to record in mono but getting it to stereo and sounding good seams overly complicated .
Great tips!
Thanks :)
Question. What if the verse is sung quietly so it requires high input but the refrain is sung loudly which would cause clipping unless the input was turned down.. if that makes sense. In that case is it okay to adjust the input ?
Yes, adjust your input levels based off how loud the source is (your artist), but never just for the sake of hearing your voice louder.
@@bigacreations thank you and I love you! 💜
Love your videos, quick question, what broadcast mic stand are you using with your desk?
Thanks! It’s a shotgun microphone rode ntg1

Isn’t it great?! thanks for watching :)
But why hang the microphone upside-down ?
No real reason other than space haha it hangs better upside down on my stand
This is cool 👆💛💛💛💛
Thanks!
U welcome
You just answered my question 🤣

You said "turn up"
Hey I work for Izotope. Would you like to debut some of our plug-ins and products on your channel?
Great just what youtube needed... another video on you to get pro vocals for beginners....sigh....
