This is the easily the most honest breakdown I’ve seen. Many “famous” engineers keep these techniques hidden and rather sell the public snake oil and product placement. Thank you.
I love the concept of (1) removing bad tones followed by (2) replacing them with better coloring/saturation. So simple and makes it way easier to gain stage! Ty! 🙏
We all have our ways.. Preferences.... But respect for you to share your experiences, and workflows..... I tip my hat to you. Passion....... Its a beautiful thing.
I LOVE YOU! After all these years, me trying to mix my own vocals, sometimes, failing and giving it up, asking myself if it is "ok" to add a limiter on the main vox, but also another compressor on the vox bus, to keep the vocals in control... and thinking that it might be to weird... man... I WILL TRUST MYSELF MORE OFTEN, starting today! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video will be my reference for my mixes!
one thing i never really put together the deal of putting all those eqs on a source but now i see how your building the track ......so just for that this was great info and it really made me understand how you and other folks use this technique to build a solid, deep sound that fits in a mix
Those 550A and 550B API EQ's are amazing. I run my vocals through em just to hear the op amps kick in and color the signal. They're really amazing for tone sculpting. And if I do make adjustments they're small.
It feels so good to see great mixers using the same inexpensive Waves plugins to do the same things as me. Maybe I’m actually kinda on the right track lol
Ive never plugged a limiter in that early... it just never occurred to me. It makes so much sense versus having top fuck so much with my series of compressors after
🤩👍 Really great share David ! It reminds me some tricks , my memory is waking up ! 20 years ago now ...waow .. I m happy : in 3 months i understand speaken english and there i quite understand 50% what you said in a shot ! So it s very good for me ! Thank you ! Your way of mixing seems really logic . It s a lot of work , and i see years of expériences, it s clear. The Parallel tracks in mixing is in fact what i didn't know 20 years ago ( i used to work with 16 tracks it wasn 't possible anyway) but today. It is THE TRICK !!!🤘 I understand why it is so powerfull ! Great ! A giant's foot for good mix ! Hoo Hoooo !! 🥳
Very great ideas & skills used in this chain. Youve reminded me why I need to start using delays again like I used to(as invisible ambiance...that concept resonates w/ my thought process).
There's a lot of info and suggestions here. I'm not that fond of just copying people's chains, because I'm trying to develop my ability to 'hear' what the vocal needs in the context of the track, rather than just chuck on someone's chain and think it's going to work. But I'll certainly return this and rewatch, for those occassions when I need inspiration. Good vid, though - food for thought
Hey Franck, below any video there's a "join" button, if you don't see it it's because you're on mobile (and not using the app, gotta love youtube) if you switch to desktop version you will see it or use the app. This is for anyone reading this, but here's the link: bit.ly/3hNlE7y
yes, is not a matter of genres really, especially if used transparently, most pop vocals are among the most processed of any genre, even if you could hear something, at the end of the treatment you wouldn't even know
This is humbling, both to me and my pc. I don't put a quarter of the work in a mix. Also my PC wouldn't be able to handle it, without commiting every track - and I really hate committing and freezing audio-tracks.
MixbusTv Man that makes a lot of sense thank you for responding man I just put up a tutorial and had to go through it and it was kind of tedious going through that
Hi brother, I'm new , I'm buying these products - your thoughts Midi - Arturia keylab essential 61 Audio interface - SSL 2 plus Mic - Rode nt 1a Headphone - beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 250 ohm Monitors - Adam audio t8v Thanks
Hi david ihave aquastion when u used l2 u boost 16 db what u did to balance the vloume. Between before and after cuz before sound same gain as after even though u boost 16 db after
You hold ctrl on the keyboard while turning down the threshold, it automatically turns down the output, you can do it manually too with any other limiter
Trying to enjoy my lunch break. Normally I could ignore it, but the lyrics were such arrogant garbage I had to turn it off. I hate to comment this but hopefully it speaks to you. Peace be with you.

Dude, awesome tutorial, thank you! I had never thought of putting a limiter before compression and EQ. Cool idea!
I put second instance of Waves X-Noise after the Limiter and get a nice pristine sound with Weiss DS1-MK3 before the Limiter.
Love the chain and how you explain why you do what you do. Enjoyed this video.
This is golden

Maaaaannn bro this is one of the best videos I've seen on vocal processing 👊🏽👍🏽👌🏽

Lovely knowledge by a real professional. This is what I was looking for!

I'm dyin' from that! lolz
You are freaking amazing! I pray to have your level of knowledge someday.
🙏
Hands down one of the best channels I came across during lockdown ❤️
I swear, you must be the best teacher on RUclips 👍🏿💪🏿
🙏🙏
This video was eye opening. Absolutely love the approach and simplicity with the rap vocal. Amazing work bro. 💯
You're one of the few people whose advice I respect on here
The mix is CRAZY!!!!
Always great stuff. I'm glad you share so much and I came across you! Thanks a ton! Looking forward to learning more from you!
I LOVE YOU!

If there was 1 video every audio engineer *must* watch. This is it!
thank you as always David
Wild nice hairstyle and nice breakdown is very helpful
wow prob the most valuable vocal production vid today, awesome one david, the most important lessons for voice driven music
Nice work - great to see you do what you love!
Really awesome video David! Thank you super duper much! It's so great to be MIXBUSTV member :)

I love using a crystallizer in place of the doubler. Lower the mix knob to maintain the center
You are a legend!
Apart from the excellent tutorial, the horrorcore hip hop track itself is magnificent! Thank you!
🙏🤘
@@loredanamassini9484 Gotham City, I have an entire course breaking down this mix for members

Hey David, This was one of my favorite videos... so far... Thanks a lot for your contribution and sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated ✌️🤘

Gems as usual!!!!
Loved it so much ❤️
great info! Became a member today!
Welcome to the family! 🤘
Amazing tips and tricks! Looking foward for more videos like that. Thank you for sharing💪

It is THE TRICK !!!🤘
I understand why it is so powerfull !
Great ! A giant's foot for good mix !
Hoo Hoooo !! 🥳
the moove with the limiter is 🤯
rapper is very good , what is the name of the song ?
Very great ideas & skills used in this chain. Youve reminded me why I need to start using delays again like I used to(as invisible ambiance...that concept resonates w/ my thought process).
So we should aim for about 5-6db of gain reduction on the limiter?
Bro, what are those electricity light things on top of your monitors back there? I’ve been wanting to know.
@@anonagain Points to the wrong item I think.
Thank you for another great video
Where do I get that cool voice activated light on his desk??
You can't they're not available anymore, everybody asks
THis video will blow up eventually. Too damn useful.
Bravo David!!!!
What if no Arousor?
Thanks for this video. I'm actually about to get into recording vocals soon. Added to my Vocal Mixing Best Videos playlist!🙏
Great breakdown.
thank you!

can i use any compressor if i don't have the one u used? and how much should l be hitting on it dB wise?
Would you use a limiter in any kind of vocals? Pop songs for example?
yes, is not a matter of genres really, especially if used transparently, most pop vocals are among the most processed of any genre, even if you could hear something, at the end of the treatment you wouldn't even know
@@mixbustv Got it! Thank you so much
Great video
Sweet shirt Brotha 🤘👊
Is the light in the background responding to when you talk @MixbusTv
A good question would be, could you use a good Clipper in hard mode, instead of a Limiter? 🤔
can i use plug ins from plug-in alliance to do this?
This is humbling, both to me and my pc. I don't put a quarter of the work in a mix. Also my PC wouldn't be able to handle it, without commiting every track - and I really hate committing and freezing audio-tracks.
Commitment is one of the keys to great mixing. Trust yourself.✌️
Question the limiter on the vocal. Do you have the ceiling set at what ever your gain stage is? So it smashes the peaks but not noticable?
ceiling doesn't really matter, it's GR you want to look at, the ceiling should match the GR (if auto level compensated)
I got a left field question but how do you get your video camera and audio to match up with your computer perfectly
you clap you hands at the begging of every take and you get an editor
MixbusTv Man that makes a lot of sense thank you for responding man I just put up a tutorial and had to go through it and it was kind of tedious going through that
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENTS BETWEEN Cubase and nuendo
Do u have any videos on Girl Operatic or high pitched soaring vocals : how u would do that :)
Thanks as always David! Looking forward to the other chains 👍
Hi brother, I'm new , I'm buying these products - your thoughts
Midi - Arturia keylab essential 61
Audio interface - SSL 2 plus
Mic - Rode nt 1a
Headphone - beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 250 ohm
Monitors - Adam audio t8v
Thanks
I'd switch the SSL for MOTU, Beyer for Sennheisers, Adam for Eve (this one in particular)
@@mixbustv Thanks Brother,
Try the d-verb from plug-in alliance. It pulls out reverb
Softube Dyna-mite works better, there wasn't that much here
Hi david ihave aquastion when u used l2 u boost 16 db what u did to balance the vloume. Between before and after cuz before sound same gain as after even though u boost 16 db after
You hold ctrl on the keyboard while turning down the threshold, it automatically turns down the output, you can do it manually too with any other limiter
@@mixbustv thank u 🙏
@@mixbustv can i use this button 1:1 ?? In l2
I'm kinda godlike,
the final boss type,
you silly tryna kill me I already spawned twice
He said im still Poppin Locking on Boulevards lmao !!!
Could you please do a review video of the new Mixbox by IKMultimedia? Would really appreciate that alot 🙏
I just hate to automate the AlterBoy xD idk but the values are so imprecise in Studio One on that plugin
good tut, but I still wonder whether you shove fingers into the power socket to get that kind of hair lol

OK, and as you can see here- he is a cross between DMX and Sean Price

where is he male rock vocal ? Do we really have to be subjected to nothing but the me me me Rap " Vocal" jeez I just threw up a little bit on my mouth
Oh no you don't have to be subjected to anything, since you're not paying.
@@mixbustv I would pay if you taught something worth while that I could actually use ... thanks what's your name
@@mixbustv may a lot of enginees are just as sick of rap as me .... nothing against you,
The rapper sounds so bad
Thank you
