    Nice. You should cut unwanted frequencies before compression. The compressor will boost unwanted noise. So if you minimize them with EQ, denoise, & de-clicking, before the compressor hits the vocals, it’ll give it a cleaner sound.

      Good tip, thanks. My Yamaha MG10XU has a compressor knob above the slider. Do you recommend using it or recording flat?

    Excellent video. A lot of this confirmed stuff I already knew from years of recording music, but it was very reassuring and clear. Me and a few friends are starting a new podcast soon and recording a conversation is something I’ve got very sparse experience with. Thank you!

    This is really valuable information, Sam. I'm coming from a filmmaking background and I'm on a quest to make my audio sound better. I don't have great equipment yet and this tutorial is really handy. I didn't think of using Ableton live for this sort of audio processing but I might try it out, it seems very powerful especially with the possibility of music down the road.
    Please make more of these!

    Hey, would it be possible to make a tutorial on how to create a presentation like what you have here.?
    In other words, if I wanted to share ProTools tricks;
    How do I capture the screen like you have it there?
    How do I put the little circle with a picture of me in it?
    How do I run the sound stuff like that.
    That would be really helpful, thank you

    • @samsmyers
      @samsmyers  3 года назад +1

      thanks! yea sure. I'm still figuring it all out. But just to give you an idea of how to do it currently -- I record it all into Camtasia 2019, edit it, and then export it into Final Cut Pro to do the final editing.

      yea I do use cloudlifter. It goes into a neve 1073lb (just because I have one for recording vocals) and then into a foscusrite scarlette 2i4. Idk the gain knob on my 1073lb is set on 35 so idk if that is helpful or what you mean by the gain?

    Hey Sam Smyers as someone who has no idea what you are talking about it would be helpful to mention what editing software you're using and what you recommend. Plus what does EQ 8 mean? You mention it like I'm already meant to know what all this means. I'm using GarageBand but it sucks. What is this software?

      What mic do you like better? I'm open to other suggestions!

    • @amdenis
      @amdenis 2 года назад

      It depends a bit on your environment, and if you have a relatively quiet one, or (if it is noisy and/or poorly optimized acoustically, that you can apply an APHEX or similar processing (or plugins, if hardware is not an option) to your hardware chain. If you have a reasonably quiet and even moderately decent (i.e. good RT60, and low levels of audible acoustical resonance) then a decent large diaphragm condenser mic like a Lewitt 440 pure, or an AKG 414 XLII (about $250 and $1,150 respectively), or whatever you like best at the given price is great.
      If you need a more “forgiving” (i.e. less sensitive to stray and ambient sounds), then an Earthworks SR314 or an SR40V (about $700 and $800 respectively) would make a HUGE difference. Obviosly, depending on linger term goals and budget, an Aphex Master Channel on the input side can save you a lot of time in post, while giving you back your chest resonance and other niceties that most recording environments don’t support.

    why use 2 comps with same attack and release times? sounds it better than just setting ratio up? 15ms attack is actually pretty high
