    16:10 I tell you, the individual pieces of this puzzle didn’t make too much sense when the puzzle was being built, but the end result was nothing short of transformative! The final vocal sounded incredible! I never would have thought it would make sense, but it truly ended up being absolutely beautiful. Like a painter using multiple colors and techniques to create something magical. So lovely to watch a master at work! Thanks for the video (albeit an old one…)! Cheers!

    Warren - I get a smile every time your saying we are messing it up ! Its taking the human element and bringing it out! Yes, its good to put effort into having a good front end and treated room etc. but once you know your gear and room isn't holding you back.... well its time to MESS IT UP ! Make it interesting!

    For those of you watching this - This is amazing advice. The next step is: Customize your own presets!!! You can save the settings you have in one session and transfer those settings to another session ! This is how professional engineers get their own "Sound" and why people will go to YOU for a mix.

    One thumbs up is not enough. This is the kind of thing you learn working with or apprenticing with other engineers and I would never have thought of as a hobbyist mixer.

    My protip to share on this...
    I have a condenser mic hanging from the ceiling, Panned it all the way to the left and secretly recording aswell.
    The regular vocal mic. is in front of the singer. Now I have 2 tracks to work with. + the natural reverb and 'roomy' feel really opens up the recording. Especially when vocallists go loud!

    @OdinOfficialEmcee 6 лет назад +6

    One of my favourite reverb tricks that I discovered recently for a really big, deep sounding reverb is to mix your aux signal louder than your dry signal so what your hearing is primarily verb. I found using predelay in this case will ruin the sound though. Short hall or chambers work best

  • @murraywebster1228
    @murraywebster1228 3 года назад +1

    Feed one dense reverb into a more open one, you can go wild with effecting the first reverb, like using a Leslie effect on the first reverb, you can make it really dreamy with low rotation speeds and it’s not so obvious because it is then making the second reverb „swim“ for want of a better phrase, ramping the rotation up or down makes even more „rise or fall to the sound, gets you into some complicated automation but the added movement and variation is the cherry on the top

    Aleister Crowley wrote (and I paraphrase) that you do a thing once, you get a little better at it. You do a thing twice, it begins to become familiar to you. You do that thing ten times and you might begin to feel yourself developing a level of proficiency in it. You do a thing ten times ten times ten time, and it's not longer you doing it, but it is doing itself through you. You, Mr. Huart, seem to have become a channel through which the art of mixing manifests itself in the world among us mere mortals. You are an absolute champ and the day I discovered your tuition articles and videos marked the beginning of my beginning to really understand the ins and outs of mixing. Thank you!

    I love how you say you were looking for wrongness. I just did a harmony vocal and decided to make it distorted flange. I’m going to keep doing stuff cause I think it’s cool not because someone says this is how it’s done. Great stuff as always warren😎🤙

  • @Producelikeapro
    @Producelikeapro  6 лет назад +43

    Hi Friends! What many people love about traditional analog recording was the 'wrongness' the randomness! When I mix I love to experiment with ways to 'mess' things up! Saturation, pitch change, sometimes subtle, sometimes full-blown octaves up and down! What ideas to you use to mess things up, randomise, create wrongness that's all so right! Please let us know! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing my friends!

      Hey Warren. Quick question , some reverb plugins have Eqs on them. is it ok to use them since one of the techniques involve Eqing before the reverb ? are those eqs after the reverb hit or before ?

I actually started mixing my own vox on iPhone GarageBand and had to learn how to lean into unique effect combinations to “mask and utilize” my lack of quality recording equipment(it’s a feature not a bug I swear). Now I have a real mic and I feel like I’m hitting the ground running. Thanks man

  • @DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579
    @DeltaWhiskeyBravo13579 Год назад

    I really like this. Thanks much.
    What I do with my reverb already:
    Always reverb is on it's own send FX channel and that's a pre-fader send...Much more control to blend it into the dry
    Abbey Road EQ between 600-10K but it changes depending on the exact sound I'm after
    I like adding delay going into reverb
    I'll duck the FX channel keying off the dry, I'm after tails and wanting to push reverb into the background a bit
    After viewing your video, I'll add some other things like saturation and distortion, and pitch shifting, this is for "blurring" the reverb to help keep it from just being a repeat of the dry, I'll add to the EQ the mid dip as needed
    That separate reverb for left and right might be accomplished by my nice little Melda multiband reverb. As is, my Melda multiband delay gives me slapback and ping-pong with one instance of it. These are part of my Melda new shiny bits of plug-in toys that have a very, very deep level of editing ability.

    @jurgenschuler8389 6 лет назад +13

    Love that video! The only idea I came up with, is putting an amp simulation behind the reverb, especially when I use exaggerated reverbs based on impulse responses. Cabs and reverbs are quite similar, so I used the same plugin twice with different settings and IRs. I never came up with going distorted into the reverb. It's fantastic! Thanks!

    Thanks for that. You helped get more creative and try out new stuff.
    I tried out the AbbeyRoad trick, didn't work that good tbh.
    But I created a nice little megaphone effect and now have cool preset track.
    Using Neutron 3 Elements to eq a radio effect.
    Then applied some distortion in the midrange and applied that to the voice track as pre fade.

  • @MarcBecker_Music
    @MarcBecker_Music 6 лет назад +1

    Great video! I've learned a lot, thank you Warren. There are two things I do when I want to make my vocal sound a bit more aggressive at some parts of a song. I use the ghost voice effect of a vocoder and work with delay, modulation and distortion on it. The other one is pretty similar , but it's even more aggressiv. I use Pink Noise, EQ it, modulate it an put all kinds of effects on it like I do with the vocoder. The last in the chain is a gate, which is triggers by the vocal and only opens up, when the voice comes in. If you want to push it even more, you use a clean delay on the vocal and duck it while singing and open it up at the end of a line and do it vice versa with a delay fed by the pink noise signal it sounds pretty wrong in a good way :-)

      Produce Like A Pro I just joined up to the academy on the cyberspecial. Thanks for the opportunity! I’m checking out the videos. I would love more videos on a song going from rough acoustic demo to a full arrangement. I love the mixing stuff as well, of course, but the magic of moving a song to a point where it has a full arrangement isn’t shown much because it’s tricky and hard to apply. I think your teaching skills can pull that off though! I have a bunch of song ideas that are at various beginning stages but am stuck moving them as a beginner.

  • @alexeysmirnovguitar
    @alexeysmirnovguitar 6 лет назад +1

    Sometimes I use reverb in the insert of a snare or tom-tom bus just to bring them farther away and create a broader and more ambient sound, like in the 80s. It works well if the initial sound is too dry and "in your face". The more wet I have my reverb mix knob, the farther the source goes. Did that on my mix of this song "Stay", worked really good.

    • @Producelikeapro
