First thing I noticed is the raw recording already sounds good. That’s the number rule of mixing! Get it right at the source and even stock plugins will sound nice on the mix.
I drive a BMW if I wanted to drive a Kia I could.. but the experience is much nicer in my BMW .. do they both drive yes!! That's how I look at plugins of course you can do most of the things needed but once you you see how much faster you can get to where you want to be .. there is no turning back
It makes me laugh thinking about how the most educational and professional music / recording tutorials come from a puppet 😂 but they don't get more helpful than this , clearly this is professional work and it's very generous of you to let us in on this kind of stuff. I've normally been successful with my recordings but I stopped recording for a few years and needed a brush up , thanks for making these videos
@@ReidStefanMusic would be nice to see a video "how to make your mix sound like a master"😁 the decision making involved with moves made in the mixing level etc.
This is just an ad for slate products and guess what? ya sold me bruh lol i only deal with slate because of you. got the mic and all because of you and built this template because of you. instantly re-inspired to write again after hearing my voice thru this chain.
I cannot find this song anywhere and she killed it. Love this tutorial because SLATE has been so confusing for me to learn but sounds so good. Can you link the song on spotify???
I'M BLOWN AWAY :-) VERY EASY TO FOLLOW , thanks for sharing just amazing, I am sold and decide to roll with SLATE DIGTAL :-) THANKS FOR SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE.
I sold my AKG C414 Xl II for the slate mic and haven’t looked back since. It has the best sound for vocals at that price point. Pair that with a bae 1073 and you’re good to go.
This videos are always so helpful my guy!!! In addition to this I would add the use pf automation on volume, levels and fx to really make it all special and perfect 🔥
I always thought to myself Reid is the number one ventriloquist teaching people on RUclips. Hope you a Karra have a wonderful life together in Vegas. Also when's this banger coming out!?
Really slick process on this! Good job! I'm not into presets usually, but I wondered if your sauce preset would also work well for more rock/ metal music styles. Anyway, great content dude!
If you're using the virtual microphone system where on the chain should you put the plug in to select which mic, like before everything else including auto tune?
I love this video. One thing I'm curious about is how come you are deciding to put the reverb and delay on the channels instead of a Return tracks? I'm curious of your thought process there and what your creative reasoning behind it is, as I tend to go for Sends instead, but hearing how nice it sounds, I should perhaps be implementing such on channels too. :)
Well if you are going to use the effect only on one single source, then it is easier and faster to put it directly on that track. Keeps your session smaller and tidy.
He seemed to use it as a time saver and a cool trick for the viewers to try. Technically its used the same way, just in shortcut form. He kept the dry signal at 100%, and blended in the reverb and delay. Same way a send would work.
Hi Reid! I love watching your videos and I feel like I have learned a lot watching you explain stuff. I'm having issues with my setup and I would of loved to know of there's something I can do to help my problem without going and spend a fortune on new gear.
perfect !!! I am from Brazil ... I followed all the content, but if it is feasible it would be good to try subtitles not only in Portuguese but in other languages very good
Hi Reid! Love your channel! If you’d have to give a rough sketch, how many layers of vocals should be recorded for a commercial song? Like lead/s, lower harmonies, high harmonies etc. thank you
Do you make videos about making beats in different Genres? Like "How to make a Deep House Beat"? I would be excited if you make a video about making a Electronic/Chillstep or Future Garage beat
yes both karra's singing, and my voice are recorded thru the Slate ML-1 going thru my analog preamp, EQ, and Compressor. I didn't use any of the Slate mic emulation software in this mix
I love your tutorials I’m a fl user and i would love to see a tutorial on how can i keep my vocals not be louder then the beat and the beat not louder then my vocals and when i turn them down they sound lower then they should also when I upload to youtube the sound goes so low you can barely hear everything then
Great tutorial. I'vz just the kiloheartz Plugins, not the complete All Pass, but i have the Waves Complete 14. Could you make please some tutorial with waves, or what equivalent can i use in spite of INFINITE, MO-TT, FG-DS, Thanks
Hey this might be a dumb question but I’m just starting to learn Ableton. In alot of your videos I’ve noticed that the “session record” button isn’t even displaying as an option. Is there a way to disable that? I’ve looked for it and tried almost every setting in preferences but haven’t had any luck.

Exactly!
Facts
But even you have a good source you should know what you gonna do to make it better and make it sit on the mix too.

If the recording is clean you gotta 70% of the goal

Swear I'd be lost on my mixing if it weren't for "The Realest Puppet, In, the game"! I learn every time. Thanks Reid.
Thank you SOO much for this video. I can't tell you how much information is packed into 30 mins. Truly know what you're doing. Appreciate u!
Dude your mix already sounds like a master 😳
That’s my goal! I never want my master chain changing the mix too much 👍🏻

The commercial in the video gets me everytime love how uu differentiate great work keep it going
Just got the revival and fresh air for free when I found out about them, and here we are. The GOAT's made a video on it. Thanks!
Considering Sesame Street and the Muppet Show, never before has a puppet taught me so much. Amazing, and thank you!
This video was awesome, there’s something soothing about listening to the realest puppet in the game showing the realest vocal chain in the slate game
We love Slate in this household 😍
I have a feeling that the studio session for this song was crazy🤯😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Which audio interface?
Damn your going to make me sell mine now😩.. I have that mic with bae 1073 into Apollo twin.
Been thinking about the slate mic or Wa-8000
@@MrDellion214 had the slate but sold it and bought the wa800. Perfect for me but if you record a lot of different voices the slate is unbeatable

This track is 🔥🔥🔥

Sounds good. You should do a production master class.
Thankyou for this! Much appreciated

That feeling when a puppet goes harder in the studio than you 😅🤯
🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Really slick process on this! Good job! I'm not into presets usually, but I wondered if your sauce preset would also work well for more rock/ metal music styles. Anyway, great content dude!
Perfect,I will follow u, and can u mix with male vocal! Thanks
It would be exactly the same, but with less Lead Vocal Low Cut Filter... maybe 70-80hz instead of 90-100hz
@@ReidStefanMusic Male low cut filter 70-80? Okay Thanks
Do you have a tutorial for mixing vocals over a 2 track beat?
The vocal chains would be exactly the same as this tutorial if the beat was a stereo WAV
Best vocal mixing Tut under 30 mins 🤓
Been wanting this🔥🔥
Did you use any hardware while tracking these vocals?
Yes the same hardware chain I always use, which is a Vintech x73 Preamp + EQ > TubeTech CL1B > Apollo X8... I didn't use any ML-1 "emulation" plugins
hello fullsail students
Lol
Lmao I'm fullsail that's hilarious
Ya got me 😂😂
What are your thoughts on the Slate Academy? Is it worth the sub to get access for a relative newbie or someone who's want to get better at mixing?
Yes if you’re a Slate plugin user the academy will be all useful relevant information to your tools
If you're using the virtual microphone system where on the chain should you put the plug in to select which mic, like before everything else including auto tune?
The very start

Great video Reid
Ya Work iz amazing ❤️🔥😎
Can we get a new studio tour
my new studio tour video is coming soon!!
This is gold.
If you stack more than 1 vocals do you need to mix every single one?
Tune each layer individually. Mix the lead vocals individually. Mix everything else with group processing
I'm studio one user
and i use
waves and fabfilter and salet digital
Should i use autotune before any plugins or after the EQ ???
After EQ is most common from what I have seen.
Would be perfect after an EQ and De-Esser
it was great son🤩🥰
Great tut ❤️

Great video as always! Do you track your vocals with the Vintech hpf?
Yes I have the Vintech EQ enabled with all the knobs at 0dB, and the Low Cut Filter Is rolling off 50hz
@@ReidStefanMusic thx Reid! Using 80 on my spx Neve but 50is propably the safer option
Hey Stefan, which model microphone do you use?
hi man
how much should vocal be in leveling?
i always put my beat in -6db
but for vocal , idk
Any chance we can listen to this full song on RUclips?
My khs delay is only allowing me to pick time delay and not sync. What time would equal the selection you made?
Now, that is a great mix... Do you think I can achieve this sound with a Rode Nt1 and a Apollo Twin X ?
Do you make videos about making beats in different Genres? Like "How to make a Deep House Beat"? I would be excited if you make a video about making a Electronic/Chillstep or Future Garage beat
was this recorded with the slate mic? if not, how could i get a similar sound?? thank you for the video!

DO ON BEST VOCAL COMPRESSORS PLEASE, BLESS...
It was so good
Where can find this Instrumental??
okay, but hopw do you install the presets.?
Hey we’re these vocals tracked with the slate ML 1 Mic ?
I love your tutorials I’m a fl user and i would love to see a tutorial on how can i keep my vocals not be louder then the beat and the beat not louder then my vocals and when i turn them down they sound lower then they should also when I upload to youtube the sound goes so low you can barely hear everything then
Look up on RUclips "Mixing vocals to a 2 track beat", it sounds like what you'd want
Your chain will sound pretty mixed cause your chain is going through compressor analog it’s butter 🧈 - def considering having the hybrid setup
yes Analog gear makes your recordings sound way better, but the starting point is still extremely far from the final mixed results
fireeee 🔥
Did you have the delays and verb as inserts or sends?
Yes! using Audio Effect Rack instead of the basic send/return workflow
This mix is amazin!!!!! is this with VSX also?
Great tutorial. I'vz just the kiloheartz Plugins, not the complete All Pass, but i have the Waves Complete 14. Could you make please some tutorial with waves, or what equivalent can i use in spite of INFINITE, MO-TT, FG-DS, Thanks
KARRA's video is private. Shame as I really wanted to share it. What a cool song!
what is best emulation slate or universal audio spark? please tell me.
Preset for Adobe Audition?

Hey this might be a dumb question but I’m just starting to learn Ableton. In alot of your videos I’ve noticed that the “session record” button isn’t even displaying as an option. Is there a way to disable that? I’ve looked for it and tried almost every setting in preferences but haven’t had any luck.
Cool vox
Was the original song mixed with slate digital???
perfect
Do you have to have a slate microphone to use the Mix rack?
No
Question what plug-in can you in place of Mott by slate if you don’t have that particular plug-in ? What can you use a similar to that
Ableton Multiband Dynamics OTT preset
@@ReidStefanMusic sorry I’m using protools and waves and fab filters plugins and McDsp ?? Oh and slate vmr
