Mixing is great but what about ARRANGEMENTS??? you can mix all you want but if ARRANGEMENTS/SONGWRITING/SOUND SELECTION SUCKS, Mixing will not save your song.

'Been able to get through' is a key statement. Anyone tried to learn from the high-flyers and big production youtubbers? Those guys are, on the whole, difficult to stick with, lousy educators or subconsciously self-important because they left the basics behind years ago; ergo, their 'tutorial' can hardly be completed because it's pitched at 'their' level. Furthermore, Devvon is a 100% people-person and has an engaging personality that makes his tutorials sparkle - I learn from this guy. Thanks, wee man, and greetings from Scotland👍
Every time when i thought i have a certain knowledge about a specific topic, Devvon brings out a new video and teaches us more cool stuff :) In this case how you easy adjust the compressor settings to have a more controlled vocal sound. Thank you for this great, easy to follow and informative videos Devvon :)
I kind of knew how compressors worked before but have been struggling to figure out how to make my vocals sound not crappy quality, and I'm really hoping this helps because the way you break it down makes sense and sounds like something I might be able to do even though I still need to build an ear for these things
I love the way how easy you explain such complete things I appreciate you for that u helped a lother artists in their carrrers even if they don't give you the credits you deserve ... appreciate you for that
Thank you for these tips! Just something that will help us listen better when you do the A/B comparison: It's easier to hear the difference between the unprocessed and processed sound if you play a section with the effect bypassed and then play the same section again with it on (or vice versa). If you turn it on/off as the audio is playing you're not hearing an actual A/B comparison
I've understood compression / the various types / the various approaches to different sources for a while now... I still watched this and I've gotta say - this systematic approach is really great. It's like you gave the process some order. Gonna use this approach for sure.
9:40 Im confused. What meters are using to compare? Ive watched this part so many times trying to figure out which numbers you’re following but Im confused
i may be wrong but i think he is using his ears to listen instead of a specific number and using the bypass button to compare the before and after to see if the volumes match
hi devon, I follow you from africa precisely the ivory coast and I wanted to tell you that I learned a lot from you I watched all your videos, and this video on the 3 steps to compress the voice well you had already done but on the latter you returned to the 3 bottom buttons (ARC -MANUAL) if it is possible for you to return to the Mixbus that would be really interesting
0:55 curious why you have a longer than usual attack time on the compressor for this lead vocal? Obviously it's not THAT long of an attack time, but definitely much longer than what I typically use and see for a lead vocal. With my lead vocals.. or even vocals in general, my attack time is usually no longer than about 10ms. Not saying you're doing it wrong Devvon! Just wondering if perhaps there's something I'm doing wrong or why maybe you went with a longer attack time specifically for this song/vocals?
When you are developing your intuition and are learning how to apply compression-make sure that you do no LUFS metering before and after and turn up the output gain so that the better sound comes from the increased volume instead of actually shaping the dynamics or saturation.
Hey could u do a long vid mixing vocals and beat stems all together. I can mix a beat well and vocals well but when it comes to mixing them all together it just get overly compressed and super distorted. It’s really frustrating😩
My Guy.... Honestly Before I started Using Protools,I Didn't know Anything,But You have Been A great Great Forwardness To my Sound And My techniques For Producing Better Quality Music. Thank You My Brother!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Some people teach and some people are teachers. You my friend are a teacher. Thank you for all the many gems you have given us. You are literally saving me from $50,000 in debt. (Fullsail). Do you do private sessions? Because I'd rather pay you before paying them.
I couldn't tell you how many videos I've watched. Deadass if school taught like this I feel a lot more people would actually learn and retain the knowledge. You've definitely helped my mixing skills over the last two years. In sales we have a saying called "K.I.S.S the customer" which means to "Keep It Simple Stupid" and that's exactly what you do with every single video I've seen. Much love bro!
Yo Devvon! Super helpful man! Quick (and maybe stupid) question: How do you record your screen in stereo? I'd like to do it for my own videos but the sound that comes out from the screen recording is always in mono. Any tips? Or videos I could watch? Thanks u man!
Thank you brotha! Found out about you with your collabs with futuristic back in the day and to see you branch out and make this channel is so dope! This is the tutorial I needed as well been looking everywhere 🙏
Great video on explaining this because I have new and upcoming techs for my church and compression is hard for me to explain without losing them. Definitely saved the video
If I can explain this well, I'm having an issue that after I mixed my vocal track, the vocals duck when the beat comes in but if I have like maybe a bridge part where the kicks are absent, the vocals will get louder again until the kicks comes back. I usually don't use tracked out instrumentals
@@Willianobeatz I've heard of it but I didn't understand it honestly. So do I put a compression on the main vocal track and then another one on the send?
Thank you bruh , alot of YT’bers are reading textbooks to us , im not here for the exact definition , you explained it in a way that I understand what everything does . Thanks again !
Any DAW that you know best and feel comfortable with will work. A lot of people go to Pro Tools. At the end of the day, it’s your preference and whatever fits your workflow best.

The way you break stuff down is so smooth and easy to comprehend my dude.
I appreciate that!
I swear best tutorials on YT we don’t deserve you bro!
So true
Thanks Devon
This might be the best compression video I’ve been able to get through .thank you!

This is the best compressor tutorial ever!!!!!
Best tutorials on yt 💯
You're an amazing teacher fr... you've changed my mixing game man. God bless 🙏❤
Genius.
This is the best vocal compression i ve seen on RUclips. Thank you
Thanks Devvon! Great tutorial.
I NEED THIS TRACK
Awesome training! Thank you!
Definitely the best tutorial maker out there, appreciate you Devvon 💯🤞

I like the tutorial but tbh you lost me at the attack and release part. It's hard to hear a difference when the volume of the vocal is so low.
Salute You my brother for the time and work you put in to get this content out to the people.....#PeoplesChamp

Super clear as always!
Song links? I feel like every time I watch one of your videos you leave me hanging on the song name and links.
thanks bro this video was very helpful
Bro make a video about the LIGHTS in your ROOM please
So doesn't the auto release knob work to whatever your release settings anyway like in logic? It just makes it more fluent to your settings I'm sure?
Hey bro I bought one of your templates I love it but I noticed the mixs are in mono you think it better to mix that way ?
love ur videos bro it really help but was is the name of ur song and when is it coming out cause thats the one
Awesome video! Where did the number 12 db of gain reduction come from?
I’m sure you get this question a lot.. but do you record vocals with compression already on it? Or is it just preference? Thanks Devvon!

i may be wrong but i think he is using his ears to listen instead of a specific number and using the bypass button to compare the before and after to see if the volumes match

Bro, this was one of the best compression videos I’ve ever saw so simplistic but affective thank you😊
You're a civil servant my brother...you doing good💯👊
Dude, great video! You do an awesome job of breaking this stuff down and explaining. Thanks!
how do you get the vocals to be the same level all the way across
Hey should I be using fruity limiter for compression or should I buy Rvox? Or is there no difference?
Release is the length of time the compressor will hold AFTER it goes Below the threshold.. correct? It's not a static time? Or am I misunderstanding
0:55 curious why you have a longer than usual attack time on the compressor for this lead vocal?
Obviously it's not THAT long of an attack time, but definitely much longer than what I typically use
and see for a lead vocal. With my lead vocals.. or even vocals in general, my attack time is usually
no longer than about 10ms. Not saying you're doing it wrong Devvon! Just wondering if perhaps
there's something I'm doing wrong or why maybe you went with a longer attack time specifically
for this song/vocals?
Hey first thanks for tutorials, I was wondering do you place your compression for the (Vocalist) while you’re recording or after the recording?
When you are developing your intuition and are learning how to apply compression-make sure that you do no LUFS metering before and after and turn up the output gain so that the better sound comes from the increased volume instead of actually shaping the dynamics or saturation.
About to recompress 😂 thanks Devvon

Glad it helps and thanks for commenting!!
Me too
once again,, if "Thorough walkthru-" were a person-,, can't thank you enough sir-,, priceless info
Anytime friend!
Thank you so much for this video, I almost gave up engineering my music
I barely hear the voice, it's almost only music/instuments when you set the attack and release.
Straight to the point, no long story...tnx D
Hey Devvon, we are from South africa. Please help us fix 1 of our songs
shit be sounding good befor you guys even start mixing is that just the mic quality or you have adjustments
I love how he says "stick with me" every minute or so cuz he knew people nowadays have such short attention spans lol
dammit I gotta comment lmao thanks SO much this is the best most clear explanation I've seen

Ever since I discovered this channel Im flabagasted about the way you breakdown stuff, its like you taking out substances out of a chemical mix
How did you get those 'Mix' & 'Trim' knobs?
If i use maximizer and then vintage limiter, any difference?
I watched the vid like 8 times to understand ratio part XD
Filthy tips, pause. Thank you bro
Whoever taught him how to mix must have been really good
the only one on RUclips who talks about ratio right
Always helpfull😉
Can you tell me in which part of the vocal chain you put it?
Yo Devvon! Super helpful man! Quick (and maybe stupid) question: How do you record your screen in stereo? I'd like to do it for my own videos but the sound that comes out from the screen recording is always in mono. Any tips? Or videos I could watch? Thanks u man!
Dang I need to update my waves plugins lol
should i use waves stereo or mono plugins on vocals ?
you got the tory lanez sound down packed
Wondering if you have a video for the importance of the order of plugins in your vocal chain?
eq then compression always first after that you can start detail mixing
or compression then eq depends on the artist / engineer
To witness this in action join me on my channel, where I showcase it regularly and provide practical demonstrations!
You earned a new sub my guy omg
bro thats a very good song you released it ?
I honestly couldn't tell the difference
Love how you explain things. Keep up the good work 👏🏽
Where is that song that go hard any links😮
You're a great mixing teacher
Bro this song is pure FLAMES.
How do you get the tap stop effect in PT?

Do you understand parallel compression ( As a an send /FX to the vocal channel ) that could actually make your vocals cut through your beat !!

HELP ME Devon you are really good at explaining the process
When's this song coming out? Also are you ever dropping your No Guidance remix? SoundCloud it!!
im stckin w u devvon, im stickin w u
This topic had been beat to death. Same info i got from 2009 YT tutorials. Props to you for getting to the bag tho broham 😂💯
Definitely needed this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are the best engineer I respect you
Not gonna lie, i been mixing for a min now...but this is by far the best Compression Break down i ever seen.
Very well explained. Awesome..
Is this Song out?
😆
When is the song used released? Love it.
Dope tutorial 👍🏽 Quite explicit
Not gonna lie I've learned a lot from this man... thank you very much bro
Excellent compression technique!
the waves renaissance stuff really is legendary for hip hop
Thank you bruh , alot of YT’bers are reading textbooks to us , im not here for the exact definition , you explained it in a way that I understand what everything does . Thanks again !
Very satisfied with this video. You are such a good teacher. It's now impossible for me to mess it up. Thanks a million.
I swear no matter how many times watch this I can't hear a difference
How’s your progress one year later, brother?
What DAW would you guys recommend for mixing and mastering? I am about to buy Studio One. Is it a good idea tho?
Any DAW that you know best and feel comfortable with will work. A lot of people go to Pro Tools. At the end of the day, it’s your preference and whatever fits your workflow best.
@@tylerdengler6960 Thank you!
