This is one of the things in the vocal synth community that NO ONE seems to explain So thank you for the video and for us confused souls not being lost any longer
FINALLY SOMEONE MADE A TUTORIAL FOR THIS Remember guys, your "tuning" would still sound like ass if the mixing is bad The mixing is the one that makes the foundation, the tuning only improves the mixing
music production student here, to all of you generally unfamiliar with compression, be careful with that one, as it takes several YEARS to master such an effect. for example, the ratio, being how much a track gets "lowered" depending on how loud it gets (very simple explanation, also english isnt my first language so please excuse me), is usually at very low levels, so even a ratio of 4:1 tends to be huge. the problem with over-compression is that your tracks will sound distorted and "crushed", as in, their natural loudness will get lost along the process. remember, something going loud for a certain section isnt a bad thing, its just those small little problems youll want to fix. on another note, theres a million different free plugins out there that can serve different purposes, and that includes at least most of the stuff mentioned in this video. for eq-ing i use TDR-nova (a 4-band eq, with extra high- and low-passes), for compression i use Roughrider 3 from audiodamage. theyre not necessarily the best out there, but as someone still learning a lot of stuff, they do the job. so look for plugins, theres got to be something to your tastes out there. theres even free DAWs, and i recommend Reaper. also, you should experiment. a lot.
I'm a new Vocaloid Producer focused on covers! This really helps because most tutorials goes like "This is mixing have fun!!" Very well explained honestly
So here some of my advice, if you don’t want to pay for FL studio or use it’s bull shit trial. I would recommend a reaper, it has all the plug-ins you need already included, and you can actually save your project files. Apparently the trial only lasts for like 60 days but I have used it for more than 60 days so… ‘あー
This couldn’t have come at a better time! Your videos are what pushed me to start synth v like, a week ago, and I’ve been hoping you’d upload more tutorials! You’re awesome!
This is definitely useful for me. Production is something I've never really known what to do with - and it's been something I've poked at on and off and then being like "I don't know what I'm doing" for quite a while now (probably literally years at this point). A vocal synth-focused guide like this is going to be an especially good resource. That said, it's a bit hard to visualize (audiolize?) what it means when you say changing this-or-that aspect of the audio has this-or-that effect to the sound. The examples at the end were useful, but more before-and-after examples with each step could've been helpful on this front.
I wish this video was a thing when I started using FL. Thank you for the video! (By the way, Soundgoodizer is actually just 4 Maximus presets to choose from (A-D), with a big "intensity" knob instead of the whole Maximus interface... I sometimes get what I need just by loading one of the Soundgoodizer presets from within Maximus, and then tweaking it to my needs. It proved helpful for me, especially when I just started learning about mastering.)
Every time I've experimented with Soundgoodizer, getting into the real nitty gritty directly with Maximus has always produced better results for me ~ I'm a bit of a control freak so never like chucking "This does everything" tools onto my stuff ahaha
thank you. I can’t even describe how much this is necessary. PEOPLE W O N ‘ T E X P L A I N A N Y T H I N G ! ! ! AND IT’S ENFURIATING!!!! FINALLY someone is KIND to EXPLAIN.
This coffee tastes just right Thank you Joeee!! edit 2 seconds later: while i don't use FL studio, honestly this is extremely handy info in general to have as general bullet points to consider and work with. It's a nice overview guide
This is pretty neat. I didn't even know about maximizers before this, so thanks! I pretty much do the same things with my mixing process. The order you did everything was kind of reversed from how this stuff is traditionally done, but it still sounds good. Normally, the mastering stuff should be last and the mixing stuff is first because adding any kind effect to audio can influence the volume of the sample as a whole. Personally, I add a reference track of the original since those are usually mixed and mastered by professionals already. I also like the use band splitters in audio files that way I can add effects to only parts of a sample's spectrum instead of applying an effect to the entire audio file. For example, adding compressors on the high ends of voice files to de-ess vocals. Oh! And one last thing. Make sure you use different hardware to listen to songs. Speakers and headphones are not always created equal.
such a useful video. I'm def new to music but i love vocal synths, and mixing vocal synths is a different process and i couldn't find anything on it. thank you!
Very cool. Very informative. The program calling the tools fruity made me laugh 🍓 I always recommend Cakewalk as a free alternative if you're experienced in audio mixing and Reaper if you're new to it. The latter is paid but it comes with a flexible trial mode and really accessible prices. Remember to check your peaks 👍
"Do I know the bare minimum requirement to mix a cover that sounds satisfiying for me as a creator so I won't feel like ass later? Absolutely". This is exactly what I am needing right now, thank you

“Soundgoodizer” pretty straightforward name

And then you have metal artists, who say 'yeah, this makes my insides feel weird', and calls it a day
soundgoodizer called me a bitch and drank all my pepsi

evillious pfp, I love evillious
@@Usernamee619 hell yeah live laugh love evillious
cant believe some producers only show tutorials on how to tune and this is the first tutorial i've seen on mixing. Thank you so much
i would recommend cakewalk as it's free and just as good as paid DAWs and very easy to use for beginners like myself
not me prounoncing cevio has "see-vio" and just finding out now its "che-vio" :sob:
s a m e
Me except its seh-vio
this is still the kind of thing that makes me break out in stress hives but this video does help make the hives less severe

I've used the trial version for more than a year. Lol.
me after 23 years of using reaper not having paid a single cent: sorry, yep, still evaluating
Does it make the piano?

I just started messing around with UTAU and im so glad this channel popped up on my recommended. Thank you, this is great :D
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU i have been looking for a comprehensive mixing tutorial forever 😭
Thank you so much for sharing your mixing workflow, my UTAU covers sound so much better now that I'm actually mixing better.
I'm hard of hearing!! all this advice is golden and very helpful (even if it's difficult for me to understand sometimes)
You sound like Kevin but British. I approve.
thanks! i started using UTAU yesterday and this is super helpful.

This help me with overall vocal mixing the way u explain the fx and thier fuctions simply really helped me out thank ya!

True, but tuning does have a HUGE affect, nobody wants to hear Miku sounding like a dying sheep on a cute song.

So this is why just placing my utau covers over the off vocal track feels weird. Not sure if I want to get into this tho.... :/
Oh thank God. You have no idea how much I needed this, maybe my covers will now have hope of not sounding like needles anymore
2:27 did I just get called out
Where was this video all my life? 😩
thank u SO MUCH i just started making vsynth music and this helps so much!!!
"Do I know the bare minimum requirement to mix a cover that sounds satisfiying for me as a creator so I won't feel like ass later? Absolutely".
