Thank you for the knowledge! I am definitely going to use these tips soon!!! I just started a cover channel, I learned all of the recording/editing techniques from you!
Great tips always. Thx tons Btw. I caught the second half of your session last night. That stuff my friend is pure gold. I love watching the work flow of others to , hopefully develop better ideals for myself. Keep it up. We’ll be watching.
And I thought I moved my hands to talk. You got me smoked. Great info BTW. Thanks for the pointers. I have profound hearing loss is certain ranges. Many voices all I hear is sound and can’t make out anything they say. Which brings me to my point. I enjoy Ham radio but with my hearing loss and then throw in static means train wreck. I have my old analog stuff from when I fiddled with live bands and did parties in the 70’s and early 80’s but never could get the sound good enough to make the radio sound easy to listen to. Watching your videos and others has given me back my hobby. I guess I needed a refresher in mixing and technique has come a long way as well. Funny thing is I use a $2k radio and about 4-5k in sound equipment. Looks like Rube Goldberg playing with his radio. Thanks again for you efforts to make these videos!
You're definitely the best! I'm a busy guy (including with music) but I take the time to listen to your videos, they are really great and when I mean you're the best it's really the truth, thank you for your so clear and simple explanations and for sharing all this knowledge and spending the time to build these awesome videos with great examples.
I feel pretty good, as I figured out the trick of adjusting the volume in parts instead of using a compressor all by myself. But thanks, great tips all.
I LOOOOOOOVE using the Red Light distortion plug-in. It can add some good dynamics to the vocals. I use 3rd party plug-ins but Studio one comes with some pretty good ones.
I actually do put certain phrases on a different track. It's not chorus/verses. The last time I had to do that with a few things in the bridge, because they were recorded at different times & somehow sounded different. I was able to EQ match them with the rest of the vocals with that technique.
Yeah! Great tips again. I prefer Slap Delays as well, and the approach with parallel distortion sounds pretty cool! Gonna give it a shot in my rock song pre-production. Thanks Joe! :)
Splitting the vocal takes across 2 tracks, why didn’t I think of that, priceless! That one tip has probably saved me hours on my next mix. BTW, the runout song sounds like the Stereophonics, great sound 👍
More great stuff...hey, can I ask what type of mic you use to record your tutorials, where is it placed compared to you, and what do you "do" to it for your clear, rich speaking sound? Thanks!
Some people have advised me to make sure my gain staging is such that my transients still have a bit of headroom, and then to only compress with a relatively slow attack(10-30 ms) so you preserve as many transients as possible. Won't a fast attack "squash" the punch in a vocal, especially early in the chain?
@@HomeStudioCorner I see what you mean. I didnt mean punchy as a bass or kick per se, but generally I thought preserving dynamics as much as possible while making sure everything is loud and even is advisable. I'm woefully inept at all this so hearing contradictory instruction is confusing for me. I'm just looking for clarification.
i love these advanced-ish tips videos, im scared to click on most cause tell u some basic stuff like "eq...compress....limit..." and nothing interesting. thank u for this i enjoyed it 😄😄 maybe make another one??
Folks, be careful with blending distorted signal with the dry one! Many distortion plugins alter the phase in a way that it's impossible to get the two to play together. My advice would be to use a plugin that has a built in mix setting, a one that the developers have built to make sure that no comb filtering or other funky stuff will happen when blended.
Hi djentlover, That's a good point, thanks! How about having the audio signal on a bus/aux channel w/ distortion plugin as insert? Same issue? Otherwise we could flip the polarity/phase on the copied track, or time adjust it, right?
Frank Zimmermann Yeah same thing when done like that. Some plugins aren't just designed to be used like that. For example Waves Gtr messes up the phase, and no amount of polarity flipping or time adjustment fill fix it. On the other hand, FabFilter Saturn is designed to be phase coherent, so with that should work. And of course with this plugin that Joe is using.
On tip 2, editing on such a precise scale, wouldn't automation with some small 'slopes' from 1 gain level to another generally result in a smoother result, instead of gaining 'blocks' by hand? I feel like after 2:30, during 'sometimes' there's a bit of a noticeable pop. A tiny crossfade between the clips would also clear that up a little if you prefer this workflow (working with the visual 'blobs'), I reckon? Same thought about automation on tip 4 (automate the parameters that change between verse/chorus), but the convenience of that really just comes down to a preference in workflow as well as the amount of changes you need to do. Anyways, just a couple of thoughts I had. Thanks a lot for your wonderful videos! They're very helpful and I've been learning a ton :).
Joe Gilder • Home Studio Corner A Whole video all about crossfades would be cool! Crossfading was one of the simple things I didn’t know about before I went into a real studio. It’d be cool to see all your crossfade skills in Studio One 4. I.e. quickly crossfade neighboring clips, crossfade with groups (drum tracks), settings, workflow, when crossfade is needed.
What about instead of duplicating a vocal track and applying grit, send to an aux with the distortion instead and blend that? That's what I tend to do.
Tip number 5 is common sense. I’ve never met anyone who put the verses and choruses on the same track. I hardly ever even have the verses in the same tracks as each other
Love how you’re videos just jump into the thing, no intro or logo show off. Also, great tips.
And you solved 3 of my problems with one single video. Thanks, Joe!😁
Gold gold gold 👌
Thank you for the knowledge! I am definitely going to use these tips soon!!!
I just started a cover channel, I learned all of the recording/editing techniques from you!
Love that last tip. I always wondered how they did that. I thought it was a clip effect.
Great idea I never thought of Joe, tip 5 put a chorus or B section of a vocal on a separate track! 😁👍
Thanks Joe this is going to help me especialyvthe toggling delay I was wondering how to do that. Just in time for my next session. 🍻 cheers
Huge tips Joe ..
Love from India !!
Superb! Wrote down all six ready to try. Man, i wish i'd discovered your channel sooner - thanks for sharing your invaluable knowledge.
Awesome tips.Fantastic channel.Thank you.
Gotta love a fresh Joe vid on a Tuesday afternoon! 😀
Afternoon?! ARE YOU FROM THE FUTURE?!?!?!?! 😊
@@HomeStudioCorner Ha, no. But I am in the UK. 😂

nicely delivered, thank you
Thanks Joe that's a killer 💪🔥 guide to vox, short and sweet
Great stuff from someone that’s vocal stuff I really really like a lot
Awesome! Thanx, Joe!
Love this. Some really great tips there for me to try out. C ya
I'm a happy producer! as it turns out, I was practically doing all of these before watching!!! thanks, Joe!
Love these tips!
Really love these type of videos!🤘🏻

Wow this was amazing!!
Great tips and a very good video for reminding me... Thanks Joe ;-)
This channel needs to blow up
Excuse my ignorance, but im old. Does blow up mean expand and get more subscribers? Or blow up into a million pieces and die?
@@jerryb.7021 Of course I mean a million subs or more. This channel is really great.
Splitting the vocal takes across 2 tracks, why didn’t I think of that, priceless! That one tip has probably saved me hours on my next mix.
BTW, the runout song sounds like the Stereophonics, great sound 👍
Awesome un-common tips, thanks dude!
Great Advice Joe :)
Great lesson again, Joe. Thanks. May I ask a question? If your singer is singing loud and soft, shouldn’t you “normalize “ the track?
I like "Never ever do this video's...!" when should I or on what instruments should I always never use a plug in on...?
More great stuff...hey, can I ask what type of mic you use to record your tutorials, where is it placed compared to you, and what do you "do" to it for your clear, rich speaking sound? Thanks!
You deserve way more subscribers...

I don't want my vocals to have punch. I want drums and bass to have punch.
@@HomeStudioCorner I see what you mean.

To my ear, vocals don't need dynamics.

Could you please show me how did you pull the slap echo from the side. It was so fast I couldn't see how you did that .

@@djentlover Thanks ever so much! I'll bear it in mind. Learning never stops, and that's great.
Frank Zimmermann No problem! Yeah that's what makes music fun. :)
Great tip again Joe..i'm a way better engineer because of your help. I should send you 1 million dollars just because your so great!!
I'll settle for a half million. 😊
Can you do a video on how to add an effect on just one word?
👌🏾 6👌🏾 huh.

there may be a pop because I did it quickly just to demonstrate. if you handle the crossfades right, this works way better than volume automation

That essentially copies the track so it is the same. Just be careful not to add EQ to the parallel bus to avoid phase problems.
Yup. That's a great way to do it, too. Duplicating is just simpler for me.
How many milliseconds was that SLAP BACK ? Any Regen ?
No regen. Roughly 120 ms.
Blobs!
nice what a microphone have you used
Roswell Mini K47
@@HomeStudioCorner Thank you I think it sounds really great for what you would decide Aston Origin or K47
I would use the one I have. 😊
3:50 haha an honest confession. I recall that I've ever warned you in your very past video for using too much.
Great tips Joe.

Master but I need you
Joe ! You look like you've been WORKING OUT! Good job. You definitely don’t look like a blob.
Ha ha ha ha

I hardly ever even have the verses in the same tracks as each other
"That modern compressed sound we're all looking for".... I'm not ....
visually increase the size of the blob
