Hello Chris, you are one of the most major reason why i come on youtube, not because i am looking for what to watch and pass time......... i always set my notebook before i would press play to watch your videos........thanks alot God Bless You More.
Great Tutorial Chris ! just to add 1 more tip i use lately. i like to cut all the breaths from a vocal track and have it on a separate "breath track " so i can control its volume , and more importantly its more natural and smooth without all processing of EQ compression saturation etc on the main vocal track
Well done, Chris! A great way to topically organize your videos and catalogue everything at the same time. I'm a member of Chris' Mixdown Online Community. I would highly suggest viewers invest in the membership of Chris' community when he opens it up. Keep it up, Chris!
Dear Chris (Sir), Please reduce your vocal level compared to the tracks level you show when you upload a video. All the time after we listen to the tracks you played, when your vocal comes, relatively it is too high volume to listen. We manually reduce the volume on RUclips when you speaks. So please keep the tracks level much higher more than to your narration level. Thank you for this massive video. This is a complete guide for the vocal mixing. Recommended channel for every one.
thankyou you're such a great teacher, and i love all the hurt you put behind your lyrics and vocals. i feel that's the true connection to music. i'm sorry for all the hurt you've been through, but you really turned it into something special and beautiful
I've been trying my hand at mixig for years now and watched countless tutorials. The stuff I make is wildly different to what you are working with here but still, I've learned a lot and been reminded of some of the basics here. Thank you 🙏🙏
Chris, this is an absolute master class. Everything is organized and practical. This is very helpful for everyone not just beginners. The only thing that isn't here is vocal tuning. Well done 👏👏👏
A good singer does not need vocal tuning my friend. And the ones who need vocal tuning in reality they need to practice singing more. That's my opinion...
@@DanielStefanescuStudio Every performer whether you're playing an instrument or using you're own voice, you will have off days. Not every time you are perfectly tuned and the same goes for all acoustic instruments. Even drums need to be tuned. Practice will make you consistent but it doesn't mean your tuning will always be perfect. This is why vocal tuning on releases is necessary, because each vocal take is different, and the best vocal takes are not always well-tuned. If you don't believe me, just have a listen to your favorite pre-90s songs.
Chris this is an all you need complete guide to pro vocal production. Your love for your craft just pours out of you. Very easy to listen too and follow. Thank You very much. This is exactly what I needed . Ive been singing professionally for decades but only in the digital recording realm a couple years. Got great mics and software ( UA Apollo /Pro Tools/Luna) but lack the knowledge to get truly pro vocal recordings. This will be my guide . Thanks Again much appreciated.
Great Stuff Chris! Adding many of these new tips (new to me) to the arsenal of skills I've been using thanks to your teachings in the Ultimate Cubase Mixing Masterclass. I'm not even a flicker of life on Spotify, but at least I know what I put out there for friends and family is the most professional I've ever created. 👍😁
You are the best chris 😊 God bless you and I pray God give you long life and good health ❤ you are very constant and stable on your truthfulness in your lesson 🎉🎉
So true! Even the same singer can sound different from one song to another, depending on the key of the song...Chanllenging, yes, and at the same time, it's what makes Mixing fun to do :-)
@Chris Selim - Mixdown Online Pleasure is all ours. You have a great way of explaining things, and your workflow is remarkably clean. As you know, vocals are a very interesting topic for us. 😉 So we are taking good notes! 🙌🤩
Hello Sir. Am a great fan of your's. You are such a good teacher. You have a great skill to teach. Could you please make a video on processing vocals in a movie please. 🙏🙏🙏
You really so GOATed for this ... extremely helpful and well explained stuff and it's crazy to have so much packed in one video. Helping me opening some internal doors right now and taking important steps ahead - thank you!
What a fantastic video, thanks so much for putting all this together, this is now in my favourites and will be jumped into time and time again no doubt at all. thanks again
That was excellent ! I watched the whole lot, from the beginning all the way to the end. So much information ! I will watch it again, this time break it down to smaller chuncks and take notes :) I’m a complete beginner regarding any kind of mixing, so it’s a bit information overload :)
allo Chris! Eric de québec. very good video. J'aurais un bon sujet pour une vidéo pour le vocal. Comment bien mixer le vocal quand par exemple pendant les verses le chanteur ne chante pas trop fort et que pendant le chorus il se laisse aller et chante plus fort. Je pense que je ne suis pas le seul avoir de la difficulté à avoir un son uniforme. thanks. and continue your awsome video.
[Compression]: I thought that release was how long the compressed audio stays compressed and not, as you put it; 'Once the signal goes above the threshold point, it's time for the compressor to stop compressing'. Surely, if that were the case, the release would never trigger, as the audio is already compressed to be below the threshold by the attack (?). Am I missing something? I thought I'd got compression fairly well sussed, but now I'm back to confusion.
The ink that we are missing is how you make decision how much to cut eq on delay for example,do youn boostit max and they check out or ? then how much feedback do you like ? do you again boost ti as a send to maximum and then check it or ? also with cuting eq for vocala,and other nobs on compressor how you know that this is now good and enough !!! how do you actualy play with nobs and what do you do before and after to get results youy want ! PLEASE MAKE THIS KIND OF VIDEO !!!
noob here, firstly i love what you do, many thanks to you. secondly, when you EQ a reverb wont that apply an EQ (low and high cuts) to the main vocal as the whole net result/effect is going to reflect on the vocal/audio when playing it ?
what is the name of the song with the french vocals? you said you would put the name on the description but you didn't :( this song is SO cool! I'd like to listen to it on its entirely
In these videos, I used the Austrian Audio Hi-X65 and the Verum 1 open back headphones ruclips.net/video/9hJkXUBeK8s/видео.html ruclips.net/video/N1PJgJtNUG8/видео.html
cubase automation doesn't work perfectly. In a full mix process some time's daw lose automation reads.... I think is very big problem and they didn't fixing this.... Yamaha doesn't know very good about daw's... Old Steinberg is better than....
What kind of test makes it pro? Music is subjective! A bad recorded vocal but well performed will always win over a great recording and bad song singer!
I still don’t get how amazing people like this make any money by providing TONS of exceptional free content such as this???
RUclips ads. The best way to support them is by watching the entire video, liking, commenting and such
Been mixing for 25 years, professionally for 15 years, and I managed to learn a lot from you in this video ♥ Thanks buddy

Thanks! Mixing vocals can be the MOST challenging process. No two vocalists are the same. Not even identical twins.
So true! Even the same singer can sound different from one song to another, depending on the key of the song...Chanllenging, yes, and at the same time, it's what makes Mixing fun to do :-)
Très chouette tout ça, merci Chris!
Ça me fait plaisir!
Nice video thank you!

Dear Chris, thank you for this great video! One question: how do you make the wave curve visible in the automation lane?
That's a Cubase Pro feature... ruclips.net/user/shortsr2T8mLryglk?feature=share
Thanks sir I appreciate
Of course!
thank you.
Thank so much this change my mixing a lot can you do a detailed tut on back up mixing

I learned so much from this
That's awesome!
I learned sooooo much and with such an ease!!! Thanks 🙏🏾
You're so welcome!
Great channel 🇯🇲💯💯💯
Pretty epic actually. But I like sometimes a bit dry vocals. I like to use Valhalla reverb and sometimes convolution reverb from eventide or lexicon
That was excellent ! I watched the whole lot, from the beginning all the way to the end. So much information ! I will watch it again, this time break it down to smaller chuncks and take notes :) I’m a complete beginner regarding any kind of mixing, so it’s a bit information overload :)
Awesome! You can definately come back and use the Timestamps in de video description to find your way around the video. Thanks!
Great video, thank you!
Thanks Chris, what does your vocal chain look like?
Great trick! Thanks! I also learned a couple INSANE tricks recently from Nick Mavromatis episode on vocal production. It’ll be worth your time.
Very cool tutorial!!! Thank you!!! But I can't find any key command in description(
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks again. What should I do?
This is great
Thanks!
Amazing 🔥🔥🔥 learnt alot
allo Chris! Eric de québec. very good video. J'aurais un bon sujet pour une vidéo pour le vocal. Comment bien mixer le vocal quand par exemple pendant les verses le chanteur ne chante pas trop fort et que pendant le chorus il se laisse aller et chante plus fort. Je pense que je ne suis pas le seul avoir de la difficulté à avoir un son uniforme. thanks. and continue your awsome video.
woa thank you i love you

I thought I'd got compression fairly well sussed, but now I'm back to confusion.
Let me try it this way, the Release is the time it takes for a compressor to restore the gain after gain reduction has been applied.
Thank you very much I enjoy your mix I want to ask you a question ❤
The ink that we are missing is how you make decision how much to cut eq on delay for example,do youn boostit max and they check out or ? then how much feedback do you like ? do you again boost ti as a send to maximum and then check it or ? also with cuting eq for vocala,and other nobs on compressor how you know that this is now good and enough !!! how do you actualy play with nobs and what do you do before and after to get results youy want ! PLEASE MAKE THIS KIND OF VIDEO !!!
by the way thanks very much :)
BRAVO!
noob here, firstly i love what you do, many thanks to you. secondly, when you EQ a reverb wont that apply an EQ (low and high cuts) to the main vocal as the whole net result/effect is going to reflect on the vocal/audio when playing it ?
Thank you Chris, what a masterclass to study
Very welcome :-)
Lp@@mixdownonline
nice
if you placing reverb directly on the vocal insert. In theory couldnt you just use the mix knob and it would be fine?
what is the name of the song with the french vocals? you said you would put the name on the description but you didn't :( this song is SO cool! I'd like to listen to it on its entirely
Pls give us vocal presets and templates pls
Great video. But, which keyboard are you using man? It looks like it's backlit and I've been trying to get one.
Is this cubase? I was deciding what to get to complement my setup. This or pro tools 🤔🤔
at 14:50 are you blending the fx channel with the original send chan?
I have a hard time setting vocal level in my mix it gets too loud !!
Mono plugins ? all
One more question. What kind of keyboard du you use with Cubase?
Just got a Bluetooth Logitec computer keyboard
why did I never think to Sidechain my reverb
What headphones are those Chris?
In these videos, I used the Austrian Audio Hi-X65 and the Verum 1 open back headphones
ruclips.net/video/9hJkXUBeK8s/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/N1PJgJtNUG8/видео.html
cubase automation doesn't work perfectly.
In a full mix process some time's daw lose automation reads....
I think is very big problem and they didn't fixing this....
Yamaha doesn't know very good about daw's...
Old Steinberg is better than....
bluss You
A river takes up too much space
You are a great teacher╰(*°▽°*)╯
Thanks!
What kind of test makes it pro? Music is subjective! A bad recorded vocal but well performed will always win over a great recording and bad song singer!
