Kenny, I literally sit in my studio and when I need advice on something, I pull up one of your videos and dramatically improve my mixes each time. Thanks man, you're awesome.
Yo, dude, just want to say thanks for all the work you put into making these videos. I've referenced them countless times while working on my own stuff. Keep it up! (please)
@@REAPERMania kenny which method is better for making sure all the vocals are the same volume for rap vocals using the method you use here or using the gain riding method you showed in other video vs using a plug in
Kenny, these videos are really helping me to navigate my way through the seemingly impenetrable woods that is music production. Huge thanks, I watch these tutorials more than you may realise. A big cheers mate from South London.
I have watched this video so many times now and getting more and more to it... it definitely requires some subjective artwork and talent to do this mixing.
Kenny. You’re a fucking national treasure, my friend. I can’t tell you how much your tutorials have helped me. Of the channels I watch to learn this stuff (and there are a few GREAT ones) , you have the best signal to noise ratio, the most effective, the most important techniques I’ve ever learned. The fact that this is free on RUclips is such a blessing for anyone who really wants to learn. Thank you.
Firstly, who on earth disliked this video?Secondly, thanks to Kenny for this and all his videos, I have learnt SO much about recording and producing by watching his tutorials over and over again.
great stuff... but I was so hoping that you'd undo all that pre-fx tweaking and then say, "But we can do this automatically with..." but I guess my expectations were too high! One final thing: for us newbies, when you're tweaking settings in ReaComp, it would be great to know exactly why you do that. For example, you switch on Auto make-up, but I have no idea what this is or does so don't know why to switch it on. Small stuff though because the video is very clear and informative.
Agreed. Riding vocal is a must to make it sit perfectly in mix. Andy Wallace relies mostly on riding volume automation to make his punchy aggressive mixes.
Well that is another way of pre fx editing for sure. The original way of object (item) editing you pointed out at the beginning is at least if not more effective I find. The sliced items can then have thier own special fx if needed - de-ss, thump cut etc. So yeah. Best try both methods and see which gets you done the fastest.
i bought cubase a long time ago for a lot of money. a few weeks ago i bought reaper, after learning about it with that winrar-fair style of license tryout. and its even the best looking daw lol
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! Can someone please tell me if this song has been released somewhere? And if so, then what it's called? I absolutely love it.
Thanks for the video. Great learning resource. One question though. Why do you use volume automation (third step) when you have already taken care of it in the previous two steps? ( I may assume, it may be required in dialogue or other tracks where levels are drastically low or inconsistent even after compression). In this case, I suppose you used it to show ALL the steps one might need in their workflow, given the project, right?
Ooook... And I was just cutting them into bazillion pieces and adjusting volume in each seperately ending up with trillions balzillions tracks and having trouble finding anything, hahahahaha! Thank you for showing me an easy way.
I wish you wouldve explained some things better towards the end. What you were doing and WHY. After "Bring down the threshold until it compresses evenly"... what does that mean to compress evenly? Where would I find out if it's compressing evenly and what does that look like? Is there a reason you're going back and forth from the threshold to the wet meter and adjusting them? What does that Enveope window do when you mess with the pre comp attack and release buttons? I know you say it'll "grab or regrab" a not in the phrase but what does it mean to "grab" a note and what does grabbing a note do? I can follow your instructions here but if I don't know WHY I'm doing it all you're doing is teaching me how to compress the vocals for this singular song you're working on and not giving me tips on how to apply this in the future.
You should check out a general tutorial on compression. Dan Worrall did an excellent three-part tutorial for Fabfilter, using Fabfilter Pro-C 2 (hosted in Reaper), but 90% of what he says applies to any compressor. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/BIVfpsoPnOo/видео.html
Thank you sir I just newbie in reaper, as before i use adbe adition. If i can ask, how to get the vocal enhancer fx in reaper. As i know, in adbe adition there is the fx. I dont see it in reaper. Nice to see you🙏🇲🇨
I like to throw Vocal Rider (Waves) on a track and let it write the entire automation lane first.. and then go back and adjust as necessary. It's the easiest way to get a strong starting point.
I have a question but first i want to thank you for your videos. They have helped my production huge! For this video, exactly is there a plug-in or faster way to do this without manually doing pulling down parts to keep them even? I produce for my hiphop group and I always have 3 sets of vocals to do this on and it takes hours! Would love to find a faster way!

Tnanks Kenny and thanks Reaper team.... This DAW is the only one with very honnest price and super video tutorials!! Many thanks!
this song makes me imagine a freakish man-child-horse creature running rampant in the wild.
Glad someone is on the same page as me
Coming this summer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe...
😂😂😂
lmao
And maybe he had a very famous t.v. show back in the 90's or something..

Thanks Kenny for this excellent tutorial and all the other amazing videos that you take the time to do, it's most appreciated!!
Your de-essing technique and this technique is powerful for dialogue editing in documentaries. Kudos.
Extremely useful and simple. A few lessons in one, here. Keep it up, Kenny. Your videos are like the holy scriptures to many!
Thanks

amazing video, many thanks!
Very grateful for your videos. You are taking me into the professional realm!
Very professional way to do it. Kenny as ever, you make a potentially confusing concept clear. ✊
My searches always end here. I learn from other people too but Kenny has the newest tricks.
Thank you very much for making these videos! They are really helpful and just at the right time! Cheers!
One of the best RUclips channels :)
Wow Kenny. You make it look so fast and easy. I guess that comes with experience. Thanks

Reaper is next level been using it for two years now 🔥🥇
Always good info Kenny, thank you!!
Great video! Very in depth! Thank you!

Always a good video! Kenny! ♥♥♥
GUYS.. For the final level automation I highly recommend Live Rider , it is great and in real time it takes charge of it that easily.
Oh man! I think I've been adjusting with the post fader and then throwing the compressor on there. Thanks for the heads up.
This video is just what I was looking for beside I didn't know what was it :) Thank you very much
I learned that on mixing in reel time video :)
wonderful tutorial. thanks keny
Very powerful information, thank you so much !
holy crap this blew me away. I'd been trying so hard with JUST the compressor...never thought to use that pre fx thing...
THIS IS SO COOL I DIDNT KNOW I COULD SO THIS!!
Best tutorials
Been following your tutorials since my engineer reference. He has been right!!!
You are the absolute best!
Thanks so much Kenny!
Thank you so much sir!! This tutorial is fantastic!!
Great video man.
It is just amazing! I just wonder how you made appear the mixer & the fader just left to the track panel???
So helpful! Thank you... I’ve already used one of your tips today!
thank you Kenny
This video was immensely helpful for a vocal I was having trouble with. I just thought that compression solved everything.
PERFECT JOB!
This is great! I am getting kind if sick of my Pro Tools, ready to jump for Reaper
Thanks for your wonderful help.
Excelente! Great help!
I love you man, just love u

Nice vídeo
Wow!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you are a god
came here to find out what song it was.. love it... good tutorial too! so.. whats the song?
Ooook... And I was just cutting them into bazillion pieces and adjusting volume in each seperately ending up with trillions balzillions tracks and having trouble finding anything, hahahahaha! Thank you for showing me an easy way.
I think this works better than the way it does now (2021)

I just newbie in reaper, as before i use adbe adition.
If i can ask, how to get the vocal enhancer fx in reaper. As i know, in adbe adition there is the fx. I dont see it in reaper.
Nice to see you🙏🇲🇨
Why would using the cut and adjust each phrase method readjust after the compressor? I'm confused by that. Please clarify. Great videos by the way
