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.

Someone is scamming on telegram with a fake account saying "you've won a contest". Just a heads up. They're claiming they are giving away a free Mac and Mac monitor.
Literally not even 5 minutes into the video and already learned wayyy more than most videos out there in terms of understanding compression this is amazing
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.
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 :)
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 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!
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!
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 !
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
'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👍
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
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 🙏
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.
Question Why do much db reduction when most people recommend somewhere between 3 to 6 db of reduction Lower ratio and slower attack probably gives room to get more reduction and still sound more natural? Just wondering how you get away with so much reduction and still sound clean like that
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?
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
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?
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
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

Why don't you never use REAL instruments in your songs???

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
Literally not even 5 minutes into the video and already learned wayyy more than most videos out there in terms of understanding compression this is amazing
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
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.
Best tutorials on yt 💯

Not gonna lie, i been mixing for a min now...but this is by far the best Compression Break down i ever seen.

Boy the effect on that backup vocal “yeah,yeah” is slamming ❤
I Appreciate How Passionate You Are Wit This Bro!❤️
Gratitude!
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
I've got you covered on my channel with frequent demonstrations of how this is done!
Straight to the point, no long story...tnx D

The good ol' R-Comp.
Gotta love it.
Always helpfull😉
Dude, great video! You do an awesome job of breaking this stuff down and explaining. Thanks!
Very satisfied with this video. You are such a good teacher. It's now impossible for me to mess it up. Thanks a million.
So helpful, Honestly Devon, you have taken me to the next level
Glad it helps and thanks for commenting!!
Me too
What a great teacher, Devvon!
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!
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
You are the best engineer I respect you
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 🙏
This is the best vocal compression i ve seen on RUclips. Thank you

YOU Are Good You also Explained this perfectly Thanks Brother from antiker Mother 🔥👌🏾❤️

once again,, if "Thorough walkthru-" were a person-,, can't thank you enough sir-,, priceless info
Anytime friend!
Question
Why do much db reduction when most people recommend somewhere between 3 to 6 db of reduction
Lower ratio and slower attack probably gives room to get more reduction and still sound more natural?
Just wondering how you get away with so much reduction and still sound clean like that

Thank you so much for this video, I almost gave up engineering my music
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 😂💯
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?
Excellent compression technique!
That's what I'm talking about bro keep that coming. I got a little chill listening to that.
I made this comment after the first clip you played a minute in
dude you the best believe me you explain things way better
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?
Best teacher in many more years to come

I usually don't use tracked out instrumentals
Do you understand parallel compression ( As a an send /FX to the vocal channel ) that could actually make your vocals cut through your beat !!
@@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?
I've got you covered on my channel with frequent demonstrations of how this is done!
@@rajbangersonly could you send me a link
Wow Devvon is truly the best
From CV learning everyday!! Thanks a lot Devon!!
Thanks man
This is very helpful🔥i love how you explain concepts
This tutorial has helped me thanks
About to recompress 😂 thanks Devvon
Definitely needed this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome training! Thank you!
Super clear as always!
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!
Awesome video! Where did the number 12 db of gain reduction come from?
Wow, i feel Now i can dare to let preset, thank you very much 🙏
Great in depth much needed tutorial 👍
Anytime friend!
Thanks! I didn't have a idea what Ratio did or Attack and release, now it make sense!
thank you devvon, youre crazy good with explaining THANK YOU !!
Very well explained. Awesome..
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 ?
How did you get those 'Mix' & 'Trim' knobs?
Best explanation , thanks a lot
Hey first thanks for tutorials, I was wondering do you place your compression for the (Vocalist) while you’re recording or after the recording?
Love how you explain things. Keep up the good work 👏🏽
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
Song links? I feel like every time I watch one of your videos you leave me hanging on the song name and links.
Have you ever tried using a limiter and clipper on your vocals? much then results then compressing in my opinion
so good🤯
Can you tell me in which part of the vocal chain you put it?
Thank you bro I'll try this if Yah willing today.
Preciate your passion for sharing the knowledge you have brother.
Thanks really needed this video.
Anytime got them coming every Monday!
You earned a new sub my guy omg
thanks bro this video was very helpful
should i use waves stereo or mono plugins on vocals ?
Salute You my brother for the time and work you put in to get this content out to the people.....#PeoplesChamp
How do you get the tap stop effect in PT?
Amazing Tutorial!
