    Processing vocals starts with RECORDING good vocals. Once you record as best as you possibly can, then you can utilize my 4 step process to getting incredible sounding vocals in ANY DAW. I hope this video helps you process your vocals in a professional sounding way; it would have been SUPER helpful for me back in the day.
    Thanks so much for watching, I genuinely appreciate you.
    Cheers

    Great tutorial. Very simple without overprocesssing and keeping the vocal original. The key take away I noticed is that the raw vocal take sounds amazing, and that is really the most important part. Also, I prefered the sound of the stock plugins more than the third party ones.

    *I’m trying (again) to learn ableton live so I can stop making crappy mash ups with a version of Adobe Audition from 2004, and start making my own music (& remixes)
    So I’m making a new song every other day (with Live) and I am up to song 16… *to learn the various features and functions.

    Pretty great explanation. So, my laziness to go over the ssss and tttts and such one by one is something that I should actually do. On a hip-hop song it's like week of work 😂 but I gotta say it works. There are certain compressions that compress treble, middles and bass separately. But then, it's not as great thought. Thank you for this video. It's simply to follow with others softwares in mind 😎

    Liked and subscribed. After hours of hair pulling out and stress, i actually figured out how to get good vocals using stock plugins on my own, and I used the almost the same exact plugins you used in this video. so its good to know i was on the right track, but i was only 90% there. watching your video was the last 10% i needed to get there. thank you. the problem when i followed your advice word for word however was that my vocals had too much low end in them, so i had to make a few tweaks. instead of dragging EQ Eight, click the drop arrow next to EQ Eight and youll see a bunch of EQ options like "Vocal", "Instrumental", etc. click the drop arrow next to vocal and drag the one called vocal presence instead, and then follow the same instructions in your video. i find myself needing to drag the low end controls (the little bubble with the number 1 in it) all the way up to 125-150 htz rather than just 100. when you drag the vocal control compressor plugin, turn down the mid a little bit. or, in the vocal presence plugin, take your low mid controls (the bubble with number 2 in it) and turn it down. whichever way you choose to go, just make sure you arent turning it down too much, -1 to -5 db should do the trick. everybody talks about how when mixing vocals the general rule of thumb is to cut out the low frequencies and boost the highs a little bit, but not enough about how turning down the mids ever so slightly removes a bit of mud that allows your vocals to blend in with everything else smoothly. lastly, when you drag utility make sure you turn the width to 400% and do that for everything, vocals, instruments, just not the master though. this helps your tracks sound stereo instead of mono, the only exceptions being the master and electric guitars recorded through audio interface, for some reason it makes them sound quieter and makes them get lost in the mix, so you wanna go the opposite way and turn the width down to 0% and make them mono, that will actually help them stand out more. these are just little tips that work for me personally i felt like sharing in case someone else had the same issues i did, but thank you for teaching me so much from your video, i did learn a handful of things i needed to know.

    • @CompleteProducer
      @CompleteProducer  29 дней назад +1

      Thanks for those suggestions! It's important to figure out what sounds good to you. I think generally, a lead vocal is mono, and then backing vocals are panned left and right and those create the stereo effect for vocals. I can't vouch for the 400% on utility on a lead vocal because almost all my listening and learning experience in the world of vocal production has said to put the lead vocal right in the middle, and let the backing vocals create the stereo stuff. But I'm sure it sounds cool on certain sounds, and there are no 100% rules. There are also so many variations in mics and interfaces I'm not surprised you had to make some EQ tweaks. Good job digging deep and finding what sounds best to you!

    Hey Ethan. I’m not gonna lie. Out those 4,000 plays a day from carried I probably played the song no less than 200 times a day. That song genuinely brought me to my knees in worship for God. Your lyrics on there are insane. I couldn’t do anything but just worship God because of your line saying that you’d die the moment you look into His eyes and even the comparison was insane on how you’d melt like the frost in the sunrise. I imagined it. Then I genuinely took into perspective what God said to Moses in the burning bush about Man dying if they were to look upon Gods face. I genuinely probably had more than 200 plays a day now that I look back. I pick up my 8 year old little brother from school everyday and he tells me to play the song and we sing together carried in the car.
