You have such an ear for intricacies, which is so impressive. I can pick up or hear these nuances when I break a song down just from listening, it's just knack/habit, I've been doing for years. But the actual application from a recording perspective...you just piece the puzzle together & broke it down, where it makes perfect sense. Thank you so much.🙏🏾
dude I just wonder why you haven't hit the mainstream is that is your goal. You really truly inspired me to start working on my vocal abilities coz at some point I gave up. Keep doing what you doin', we listening
My favorite harmonies are from D’Angelo. Thanks for making this video Lxgend. Full Moon is my favorite Brandy album. Great production and it still goes hard.
Greatest video I've seen on audio production so far. Giving examples of what your talking about in the music, that everyone's already listening to, so they understand is golden! Keep up what you got going man, youre doing great.
I appreciate that! Thats exactly why I do it the way I do. Most people need examples, not just talking points or teaching. But if it's something they actively listen to and know then it helps a lot.
Love your tutorials! I'm really curious about the "it's mixed well so you don't hear it (but you do hear it)" like i totally get what you mean but I have no idea how you would go about mixing it well like that so that it blends that much.
That sort of thing comes with time and practice. It’s a learned skill. You just hear so many songs and their mixes and start to realize there are things you have too loud that should be turned down... not taken out but turned down. Just enough to where if it’s gone, you notice it, but you can’t really hear it in the mix.
@@IAMLXGEND Yes that makes total sense! I guess you have to develop the ear for it to be able to make just enough of a difference but not too much! 👍 Thanks for replying & keep it up!! 🔥
Whatever genre I’m making is pretty far from pop but I am super grateful for this video! So much of professional audio is kept behind a paywall. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Absolutely, This applies to any genre! I do believe the info is def valuable but I also believe in giving and it coming back to you in some way shape or form. People who choose to put their stuff behind a paywall usually have a reason for doing so. For instance…. I don’t think I made much of anything off this video at all. Lol. Maybe enough to buy a few meals from McDonalds. But I love helping people.
I love this I’m just starting out in my career In Atlanta as RnB Artist n need to get better recording notes I’ll be watching this and other videos to prepare for sessions now!!!! Thanks a bunch for making this!
16 ?!!! Wowwwww that’s what that is. Imma try this when I get to the stu. I was only doin 1 track for vocal/note , like I do the 3 part harmonies but damnnnn doin 8 or 16 of those per note that’s cray 😯😯🙌🏾🙌🏾
Dude your channel is so dope - I was having trouble finding tutorials and your channel has so much insight about the production of songs especially when all I have is Garageband. I love how you still incorporate information and comparisons to industry level sounds and I love your voice!!! I've been trying to make an industry quality cover of Bazzi's Beautiful - I'm wondering if that fits the bill for your last tip...? Thanks for your work, music, and advice!! :))
What last tip are you referring to? And yea I’m glad you found the channel useful and it resonates with you. I just want people to know they can make whatever they want even with software like GB. Pro DAWs are very effective sure but doesn’t mean free ones are any less powerful especially to the beginner
@@IAMLXGEND Oh I was thinking of stacking whispers as harmonies...is this to create ambience? I'm having trouble doing vocals for my cover of Bazzi's Beautiful because I'm trying to find a balance between the tone/fullness of my voice and creating the right mix. I find the original track has a lot of ambience and a lot of "space" in the vocals (and the instrumental). I don't know if adding breath stacks would help?
@@IAMLXGEND Also I'm rewatching and I'm thinking also about I might've been referring to vocal/adlib panning - so I'm mainly wondering how to add a more ambient sound - just to link my previous reply, I was considering your "last tip" in the video as the "whisper stacking" and the "adlib panning". Thank you for responding and looking to see what I was asking about!
Nikki Wiley7997 *Hey Nikki. I know this is random but I'm a local artist from New York trying to turn my passion into a full time career and it would help a lot if you could give my song a chance ⭐️ people often say I remind them of many different artists. If you do decide to check it out, let me know what you think!* ruclips.net/video/A76X9oUn0mM/видео.html
I've been trying to stack my vocals but it sounds like trash. I'm using soundtrap and it's easy to use but once you do a lot of stacking the system gets overloaded.
There is a tutorial of me putting these methods to use: ruclips.net/video/rNpEXV8scAU/видео.html And there is no plugin that can record your voice 4 separate times lol. You have to do that yourself by recording yourself 4 times.
You can easily lower the pitch with editing then alter it a tiny bit like stretch it a tiny bit longer and just alter it a bit so its not exactly the same and it wont make that weird phaser effect and could save a lot of time or even make backup vocals for artist like 2pac that has died :o
Hi: I noticed you tend to do the "allergy salute". You might want to consider doing a very thorough vacuum job on everything in your studio. I don't have an allergy and yet my nose is always itchy when I'm spending time near dusty gear. Regards.
I thought it was my AirPod impeding with another frequency but then I realized that he’s Digitally Clipping..best way to solve this is to lower the highs( gain ) by Analyzing the frequencies with the DAW and if the mic isn’t at line level once plugging it either directly to the Interface or the analog Preamp then make sure that before it is a DI box is greatly suggested
hi great vid remkind me so much like my setup, ppl also do stacking in rap maybe 2 stacks and then harmony the in and out, or the the word that rhyme only experiment.
Do you recommend panning and stacking for every single vocal part? (like the verses, pre-chorus, and chorus etc) or just for the pre-chorus and hook? I'm confused on how many times I should stack the lead VX for verses if at all. Thank you for another helpful video!!
Paris Aryanna I’ve leaned that it’s really up to the creator when making the music. For me personally I always stack harmonies but I only stack the main melody if I want a fuller sound.
Stacking every vocal is entirely too much. Doesn’t give any dynamics to the song. If everything sounds chorus-ey and full then it gets boring. J-Rain explained it best. It’s entirely up to you however I always stack harmonies. And 85% of the time stack the chorus even if it’s a single note. On I assign I will also stack parts of the verse I want emphasis on, as explained in the video.

I’m guessing you not a vocal coach but could you please make a video on how to sing different types of harmonies or give tips for those who struggle to harmonize it’s sad it literally frustrates me please help.
So as I listen to this my brain goes to ... how do singers ever perform their songs live? I totally get the studio recording etc. but how do they do all of this on stage? Is this a dumb question? Just backup singers? I don't know!! Just love watching your videos by the way...trying to get an understanding of recording using Garageband. Love to sing...not so good on the instrumental side of things yet. Taking guitar lessons and trying to figure out backing tracks as I'm not at the point of doing original stuff yet. I need to work on actually WRITING songs but have no idea how to add music to that mixture. Hopefully some day.... Thank you for the amazing videos - been watching A LOT of different RUclips videos and yours are engaging and informative.
So when you say you do four stacks, is that four of everything? Four melodies, and four of each harmony? ie.) If you have your melody and 3 harmonies there would be 12 vocal tracks?
Sir, you are a legend! I would love to watch your tutorial about panning. I see you insert that topic on some of your videos but a dedicated video about this will be awesome! Good job as usual! 👏👏👏
A dedicated video would be saying the same things I’m saying here. There isn’t much of a need to do a separate video. If you haven’t already seen this one, it explains more: ruclips.net/video/fcjYMqv3g48/видео.html
If you are limited to how many tracks ypu can have, can you just record 16 stacks seperatley, save it as one audio file and put that into the main song?
Hi IAMLXGEND, I am a singer and guitar player and I have a question. I want to sing the lead stuff and I already have all the backing tracks. Should I just sing one track and work on the EQ and pitch? Or should I sing it 5 times and then the bottom 4 stacks work on the panning? Would love your advice? Please I am watching all your Garageband videos. The are great! Thanks! 🙏🏻
I always record background like this: 1 track for Lead 4 tracks per harmony panned 60/30 to the left and 60/30 to the right. (100%/50%) If you have harmonies, I recommend 4 stacks. If you want to emphasize any part of the lead vocal I recommend 4 stacks. If the background vocals are just one-off adlibs, I dont bother with stacks.
Definitely want a full tutorial breaking it down. Perhaps work on like a dummy track and just walk us through how to make it sound the best way that we can.
Hey brother You shared some good information / knowledge in this video, I didn't know trick #3 I'll definately be incorporating that in future songs Anyway, I just commented to say I've had to deal with my interface crackling as well If you don't already know, you can remove alot of that noise with izotope rx7 Nice video again, keep it up bro
When you stack the vocal do you have to record each one separately or can you just duplicate the first track multiple times. and to get a slight difference in sound just clip a tiny piece off the beginning of each track to stagger them slightly ?
No. Duplicating does nothing. You have to record each individually. The tiny difference is not going to from cutting a part of the audio.... it’s in the slight differences in tone in your voice. Staggering doesn’t work either: there are no unique dynamics to duplicating a vocal. You’re just copying the same exact thing over and over.
@@IAMLXGEND I can see your point. the variations would not be there in the duplications. its a very good trick for shure. thanks for sharing. there must be a whole range of tricks and wizardry the pro producers are using. the down side is that many singers will get nowhere near that studio sound live on stage.
Yo have you had any issues where when you get to a higher note or your voice becomes louder, it starts to sound like it’s kind of muffled (that’s not the exact word to describe it but it’s the closest I can think of) it sort of sounds like my voice hits it’s peak or I’m pushing the limit of my mic and it’s trying to adjust when I hit high notes....do you know anything about it or have any advice?
It’s distorting the audio because the audio is peaking. Too loud. It’s not trying to adjust. You’re just singing too loud and/or too close.you need to have better control and adjust the input gain accordingly.
Hey yall. 2 things:
1. I am aware the audio is glitching. The way I shoot these videos, I can't hear the recorded audio until after I stop the screen recording. So I didn't want to shoot the entire video over. Sorry.
2. Epic Records copyright claimed my video and was stealing my revenue for the entire video for 10 seconds of audio so I had the audio removed. The Michael Jackson portion will have a notable gap in audio. Gotta do what I gotta do to earn my revenue. Sorry folks...

It’s totally fine, your videos are always so helpful 🔥👍🏽
My fault
no harm no foul on makin your bread dude
i legit thought there was sth wrong with my laptop until i read this lol, great video though, as always..
Easily one of the most insightful videos on vocals, and you didn’t even get technical. Love it
Don't have to!
You have such an ear for intricacies, which is so impressive. I can pick up or hear these nuances when I break a song down just from listening, it's just knack/habit, I've been doing for years. But the actual application from a recording perspective...you just piece the puzzle together & broke it down, where it makes perfect sense. Thank you so much.🙏🏾
The glitching audio was driving me craaaazy, but the way you explained and showed axamples really made it worth it! Great video man, Thank you!
Yea.
I am so grateful for this bro please continue to do more of these videos, bless Irie
Now I need to go back and listen to Full Moon. Thank you for this! I can't wait to record myself tonight.
Do it! It’s such a good song and that entire album is a classic. Darkchild is insane as is Brandy.
dude I just wonder why you haven't hit the mainstream is that is your goal. You really truly inspired me to start working on my vocal abilities coz at some point I gave up. Keep doing what you doin', we listening
It’s been my goal since I was 5, yea. These things just take time. So glad to inspire you to continue and start again 💪🏾

I lowkey feel self conscious watching these because I put my songs together so basic 💀
dont take it like that, learn so you dont have to keep making them basic. :)
i’m telling you 😣
@@tem3nos it’s all good. Keep working and getting better
I have a question about the 16/8 stack rule. Is it 8 stacks for each harmony? Or do you do 4 stacks for one note and 4 for another note?
i think it’s 16 for the first note, and 8 stacks per harmony.
Thank you for recognizing the Vocal Bible that is Brandy😭
Heck yes lol
😂😂😂😂😂
All facts... I've been listen to her again faithfully since the battle. Her vocals are spectacular and unmatched.

Adding whispers / breathy stacks helps but also using plugins for reverb, delay & chorus can as well.
Adlib panning is just panning single track adlibs. No stacks.
This was great. Please keep sharing, Thanks.

Ghost of my House🔥 what’s the plugin on your vocals.
A lot lol. Basically all the ones in my plugin videos.
IAMLXGEND bet it’s very clean
Awesome Mr. Legend ☝🏾🎤🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Israel!
Yo have you had any issues where when you get to a higher note or your voice becomes louder, it starts to sound like it’s kind of muffled (that’s not the exact word to describe it but it’s the closest I can think of) it sort of sounds like my voice hits it’s peak or I’m pushing the limit of my mic and it’s trying to adjust when I hit high notes....do you know anything about it or have any advice?
It’s distorting the audio because the audio is peaking. Too loud. It’s not trying to adjust. You’re just singing too loud and/or too close.you need to have better control and adjust the input gain accordingly.
Dude this is such a good video
