Will you are a darling thank you so much. Best tutorial iv seen on vocals. I was unfortunate not to have done your course but if people ask me I always send them to you.
Super video here Will. Your structure and voice over is spot on. You keep momentum but equally don't go too fast where we need to keep rewinding. Very helpful you mentioned which third party plugins you could use, but you do everything with stock. This is the best video I've seen on vocal mixing... Looking forward to more videos from you as Ableton 11 gets it's final release!
Would like to know the correct volume at which the vocals needs to ve recorded at in relation to the instrumental especially if the instrumental is lowered to - 6db to leave room for the vocals to be recorded at. Can the recorded vocals be recorded at a peak of - 6db or does it need to be lower?
I'm actually mixing my vocals right now too bad the vocalist mixed and compressed everything already as there is some amazing stuff in here! that reverb sidechain trick is amazing though! Great tutorial Will! :)
great video Will. Would love more on recording vocal stuff as well. It's something i'm dying to get into. I do have one question, when writing a track with a singer, how would one go about that, write the track first and get the singer to write the words for the track or the other way around?
Thanks! Ok...I'll look into doing one on recording, too :) In answer to your question: I've worked both ways! I prefer to get the vocals first, usually, as it's easier to start with something.
really helpful thank you.... obviously professional quality vocals from a talented singer is the way to go to get the vocals in the first place, but I'm wondering if there are any product/equipment recs to help the average person make better vocals. I'd like to be able to record "descent" quality vocals just as temporary placeholders for projects. I'm currently just using a gaming mic and it sounds terrible, like bad karaoke and ruins the whole vibe of the track. I'm not a singer by any means and I don't expect to do my own vocals but there has to be a way to get better sounding DIY vocals...
What exactly are you supposed to do with the harmony part? How many semitones are you supposed to transpose it? Is it supposed to match the melody of the track?
Hi!! thank you very much for this tutorial! Is the first time I notice that you put in the third place an EQ ...Ive always worked first Eq...and the the rest of plugins.. Is there a reason for this?
I'm trying to have a crack at harmonising but my audio warp/complex pro tab is set to a "Gain" and "Pitch" setup instead of a "Transpose (octave)" and "Gain" setup like yours, how do I change it? Thanks!
I think this would be a really helpful tutorial if we could see what you’re clicking on.. or if you would at least tell us. I had to stop watching after 4 minutes because it’s impossible to follow what you’re doing.
Don't forget to "like" and subscribe for tutorials iike this every week! Thanks for the support 🙂
Great Work again Will, going to remember that tip of using a compressor on the reverb to duck it while the lead is singing 😉👍
You bet! It's a killer tip :)
Will you are a darling thank you so much. Best tutorial iv seen on vocals. I was unfortunate not to have done your course but if people ask me I always send them to you.
You are so welcome, and thanks for telling people about EDM Tips!

Noted!

both of my parents struck me for fun when i was young
Love your work mate. Thank you for sharing some valuable insight 👌😊
My pleasure!
Thank you so much!! really helpful video :D
Super super helpful! ❤️🙏❤️
Very much appreciated! :)
HI WIll! THis is great, as always! - I honestly think you could probably devote an entire course only on vocal processing & vocal mixing :-)
Thanks! At the moment we focus on it in the Masterclass, but I agree - it could be a n in-depth standalone course as not everyone works with vocals.
Thanks for video!
Very usefull
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. Very useful!
This is perfecttttttttttttttttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Will awesome video and tips as usual mate! I know this is off topic, but what type of chair and headphones are you using and would you recommend?
Thanks! My chair is made by "Enjoy" (it's great), and my headphones are Sennheiser 650s!
This is great, thanks!
really nice tips
Much love this man no how to mix like crazy tight thanks a lot ..ytyoungthugg Bay Area
You're welcome! 🙂
Yes please let us know how to record the perfect vocal
Amen darling ;) Very clean and simple explanation. Btw, is that Live 11 that you're using?
Yes, it is!
you can actually use "insert take lane" instead than insert new audio track when you record vocal for comping
Awesome
really helpful thank you.... obviously professional quality vocals from a talented singer is the way to go to get the vocals in the first place, but I'm wondering if there are any product/equipment recs to help the average person make better vocals.

heck yeah
BOOM! 🙌🙌
@@EDMTips Daft Punk tribute where you silently make a track in the style of Daft Punk while wearing a robot suit incoming?
What exactly are you supposed to do with the harmony part? How many semitones are you supposed to transpose it? Is it supposed to match the melody of the track?
You can work out chords before-hand in the piano roll editor with an instrument, and use that as a template for the vocals.
FIYA
thanks again. (amen break brother). why does saturation always sound robotic on this vocal im working on? haha.
Can I ask why you used first compressor in RMS mode if you are trying to tame the peaks? Thanks
In a word, sloppiness!
Hi!! thank you very much for this tutorial! Is the first time I notice that you put in the third place an EQ ...Ive always worked first Eq...and the the rest of plugins.. Is there a reason for this?
Oh Will, it's me again. Do you not Gain Stage at all? 🤨
Yeah...all the time!
I'm trying to have a crack at harmonising but my audio warp/complex pro tab is set to a "Gain" and "Pitch" setup instead of a "Transpose (octave)" and "Gain" setup like yours, how do I change it?
Thanks!
I read somewhere that the vocals should always be in mono, so does it make sense to put an utility plugin on the vocals and set it to mono?
should the compressor not be pre-fx if it's using the dry lead as trigger?
❤
Does it sound like that throughout the song or just the chorus. It sounds to huge for the verse.
I really enjoyed videos on how to make the last thing he knows you haven't made 1 why not??
Eh? I don't understand the question
But you have to eq the vocals first before adding any compressor or saturator right?
Well, if needs be. Definitely before the compressor.
Great video. New sub incoming!
What was the auto tune plugin u used melodine?
Are you using some sort of beta from live 11?
I am indeed!
@@EDMTips Nice way to show off comping then!
Daft Punk just split... a tutorial to sound like them as a tribute?
Nice idea!
Hi Will, you got an email address i can get you on?
My goodness... And here I am, thinking knowing how to sing is enough 🙄
Knowing how ti sing is really important too! I will cover this in my future video next month :)
I think this would be a really helpful tutorial if we could see what you’re clicking on.. or if you would at least tell us. I had to stop watching after 4 minutes because it’s impossible to follow what you’re doing.
Thanks for the feedback, Billy, really appreciate it!
I've incorporated this in my newer videos :)
