Srs you and joey here on this channel teach stuff that I have not seen being taught so clearly and in depth , yet short and to the point - anywhere else ! Sick content ! Jst is so underatted
Your videos have given me more practical ideas in the last few months than I've probably gotten in the past few years! Concise and therefore easy to turn around and implement. Well done!
Have mercy, I can only sub so many times..! Latest compression trick I picked up is great for bringing out some detail on vocals. It's where you start with a 1:1 ratio with the fastest attack & release, dial back the threshold until it covers most of the signal (way lower than you'd usually do) and then slowly turn up the ratio until you get around 3dB of GR. As most of the signal will be over the threshold the compressor will be lightly active most of the time, not really changing much about the sound, except for the air at the beginning and end of notes, which it will aggressively boost. Kind of has the effect of boosting the breathy end of a vocal line in clip-gain and brings a vocal up close. I guess this is exactly what upwards compression is now that I think about it...
@@endlichjura You gotta start with the compressor turned off basically so a ratio of 0:0! Then you slowly turn it up to activate the compressor, but with a very low ratio :)
For my vocals I like to use Gain reduction, and the focusrite red 3 comp on my main bus, pulsar smasher for parallel comp, and modern deathcore for my bus glue ;) this is a good insight and I learned a lot about these compressors today. btw transition game still strong!
Even though these videos are free. I'd be willing to pay for a course or longer videos going through in real-time some of this sweet gen. Great as always Miami
A knarly old engineer explained it to me like this in 1998: if you had 6 horses to pull your cart, would you leave 5 off em in the stable and let the remaining one pull it till he died? Strange analogy but made an impression on a young me!
Dope video. If FET gives you that sauce, then what about mixing in the box and putting a tape machine plugin on each track and then a compressor in your signal chain? For ultimate sauciness.
I do just that! In addition to serial compression on vocals, parallel on bass and guitars to give me more excitement, I have saturation at the end of every track and also on my stereo bus. Sometimes I will even put saturation on my effects buses 😆. I know that might sound like a lot of dirt, but if you use it sparingly it goes a long way! And another thing that I like to do that I just started trying recently, is to duplicate your snare track, put Distortion II from logic on the duplicate track, set the plugin with everything on 10, and have it blended underneath the original snare track and use that as a parallel. It makes things nice and gritty!!!!!
Miami, I push "subscribe' button when the first act of your transition game ends, after second act of this game, I pushed it again and I`m still subscriber of JST. Who is the winner???
@@joeymusic lately im interested in seeing how things are recorded and the whole path. Like kick mic into preamp, eq. Compressor. But not full production just the small adjustments you would do to track material. Bass, drums, guitar, acoustic, vox.
Hey Miami. Great stuff as always. I was wondering, and if you already have a video up about this I apologize, but in this video you talk about changing positioning of compressors in your lineup. I was wondering if you could do a video on where to place plug-ins all together in your lineup. Like do you compress before an amp sim, do you compress after an amp sim. Do you eq before compression? Like what is your general order of plug-ins.
Maybe I can help with the second part of your comment: generally speaking, the pros will push EQ into a compressor (meaning they will have EQ first in the chain, then compression after). You'll find that this makes it so that you can push EQ a little bit harder this way, and it's characteristic of a professional sound. It applies to everything, from drums, to guitars, to vocals.
I've been busing my 808s cymbals kicks hats separately and pack them in different folders according to the vibe of how the template is shaping up for edm/trap. Lofi neo soul, for guitar practice specifically and I'm just trying to get good at a jam worthy work flow. I put a lot of those fx's in the bus input what would go well in the bus send ?
Dont miss the clippers!! They add magic and loudness and crispness when used right. Its funny but when you produce and youse synths, you dont even beed compressors. Dont think sou should use them everywhere.
The touch the Redbox transition had me sub. Great work man this is about to be one of my go to channels for my mixes!
"Touch the redbox" Transition was insane here bro!
Alwaysssss lol

I swear I touched it....it was irresistible

Did you mean 10:1 ratio? Otherwise, I’d be confused. 😅 thanks!
@@endlichjura You gotta start with the compressor turned off basically so a ratio of 0:0!

@@OleVinny - gotcha! Wouldn‘t that be 1:1 though? 😅
@@endlichjura Absolutely, I'm an idiot :D
@@OleVinny - haha, all good! I‘m thankful for the tip anyway. ♥️
Brilliant video. Thank you.
very cool tip about splitting the shell/overhead bus!!
It’s a smooth move!

That’s a good combo! And yes, transitions ain’t stopping anytime soon!

In the SubsScribe transition was my kinda game !!!
Thanks as always, please make a video on fixing bright harsh vocals
I’m down for it

@@joeymusic thank you 🙏, you will save my life 😜😍.
Keep on the great work
Thanks Peter! We will

You got me to laugh. Excellent video, Joey.
I'm subscribed 50% for useful information and 50% for transition game ;D
That’s a good ratio lol

Interesting fets are amazing, and opto in fet on vocals ohh boi!!sounds Great!!
Very helpful! Keep it up!

I always use a cla-3a into an l2 on vocals
That’s an interesting combo!

@@sinnersrisemusic cool tip
Hey can you do a video of free plugins ??
I've been busing my 808s cymbals kicks hats separately and pack them in different folders according to the vibe of how the template is shaping up for edm/trap.

What do you think about 2A+3A?
Dont miss the clippers!! They add magic and loudness and crispness when used right. Its funny but when you produce and youse synths, you dont even beed compressors. Dont think sou should use them everywhere.
bought a DVD 3 weeks ago.
So curious, what was it?

@@joeymusic a comedy DVD. Not music related. I still have a load of DVDs, good to watch when the internet goes down
3:36 vine boom
too bad the waves 1176 sounds like comic sans
Serban Ghenea's favorite vocal compressor
👍👍👍👽
great content but intro too long & wordsy
i was writting this but ( hey! like this comment!) then changed my mind
