Thank you so so much. This saved me a lot of time. I need to say I'm not that familiar with processing vocals and tried a bunch of different tutorials on youtube to achieve a clean but charismatic sound. I even tried to combine different tutorials, but in the end your video contains the best of all. In my opinion you don't need more than this tutorial. Thanks.
Thank you Marty 😁 That was very interesting - I've just moved over to Logic Pro X for my Voice Over work and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video! Have a wonderful day :)
I've got a question for y'all! Is there a way to keep "new audio" to the left on the timeline?? For example when I cut out a bad take from a line, it would be nice if all the audio collapsed automatically to the left, instead of having to drag it myself to the left?
Hi Zed! Using the chain you've outlined, if you're /still/ getting audio to peak above -3 dB would you recommend using yet another compression plugin? Or what would you suggest to help squash peaks down while maintaining the track's RMS? Thank you so much!!
My bother! This was such a cool experience, being able to follow step by step your advice... I hope you can watch the video I will be releasing in the following weeks, so you get to hear the result of your own advice. Once again, Thank you much!
I've learned so much from you. Thank you. I'm still tweaking the way I sound as the mic I'm using for a youtube series is the NTG2, so I'm sure a shotgun mic is different from a dynamic mic. Still, I've learned so much, thank you.
You're welcome! This is actually pretty simple. Open the Noise Gate - dial in the settings you want to have as your template -> go on top of the plugin to the drop down menu and click "Save as...". Give your preset a name and click "Save". It is now saved in the drop down menu as a preset. Works the same with any other plugin.
Hey hey! Great video! What is your approach when having to do a variety of different volumes of speech in the same project? I.E. One line whispering, another with regular speech, then another with screaming at the top of your lungs?
Hi, thank you! If it has to be done on the same track I usually cut the different parts and use the region gain function so I can turn it up or down in volume. Using automation on the EQ for the different regions works also great.
Zed Marty Production Thank you so much! That does make sense to change the gain on the track and to use EQ in he regions. If done on different tracks and a pre-amp gain function is available, is it optimal to set the gain level for each line of speech?
Hi, this video is so helpful.... I’m making a short video add to advertise my gig in Facebook and need to record a female voice-over with a soft tone but afterwards when mixing I need to make that vocal more present, more dynamic ... I’m using a €1200 Shure KSM44 Mic - Logic Pro with Apollo MKII INTERFACE ...what would you advise? Many thanks
Hi this is great, but I'm finding it tricky to put it into practice. I set up the noise gate and this works well. But then when I move onto the de esser I lose the noise gate benefits.. How do I save the noise gate so I can have both noise gate plus de esser and so on? Many thanks!
It has to do with the EBU R128 standard: True Peak level should not exceed -1dBFS. If the material is converted to other file formats (mpeg2 or Dolby Digital,..) inter-sample peaks might occur and with -3dBFS you are in a safe spot.
it was recorded 3 yrs ago, but it is still helpful af

Hello Zed Marty, I absolutely loved this video. Could you tell me how do I make the settings in the new DeEsser 2?
in the same boat here... Great video still!
Simply excellent!
Thanks a lot! Great information that's clear, easy to follow and makes sense. Cheers.
This is just perfect for Voice overs, thanks a lot for this video .It helps a lot !! Cheers !!
Great! Have fun recording and mixing!

Thanks for this video! How did you create the template for the Noise Gate and DeEsser? Is there a tutorial for that in one of your videos?

Yes, but small volume differences can be easily leveled with a compressor.
This helped me so much, thanks man! Greatly appreciate the knowledge.
Great! You‘re welcome!
How does this make recording voice overs easier than using Audacity?
Thanks so much for this! ❤️🎙
Glad to help!
Nectar by Izotope totally works for me.
This is brilliant - thank you
You‘re welcome!

I record with one and after recording and I use the other during mastering. You can try it.
@@juliak3580 Thank you, I will try that out next time I am recording 😊
Thank yo so much, new sub :)
This video really helped. Thank You!
Great, you're welcome!
what board is that? are the faders digital

@@ZedMartyProduction what you got now?
Soundcraft GB4-32
So useful! Thank you!
so helpful!!
Thank you!
why it can't go above -3db? :)

Alright! Thanks!
