99% of artists OVER EQ their vocals! #vocals #mixingandmastering #vocalmixing

Your wxplanation on the freq is confusing… boost what attenuate what?!

Very nice

The vocal is still too boxy in my opinion, I would eq it, even if it’s just under 1db of subtraction it still makes a difference.

I thought this was a spoof starring Dana Carvey as brunette Garth.

need more base

How you compensate gain without tweak from zero sir 🤔....

Come in u

bro sounds like an ai

"I'm going to open up the quality"
One day music production will learn to drop the nonsense BS language.

Mixing is supposed to be natural but it’s over processed

Very very nice

Very subtle but a huge difference 🔥🔥

A subtle yet noticeable difference.

Aren't boosting and attenuating opposites? Why do both to the same frequency range?

What song is this

this seems subtle, real pultecs i think seem better at this. im not on my studio monitors rn but am on a full range system, and while it was a one second clip mostly i heard the 12k

Did I hear correctly? Boost and attenuate 100hz, the same freq. Doesn't one cancel the other? Gotta be a better way.

Yes now explain what a Pultec does that other EQs do not bcuz they are totally unique.

sounds the exact same sorry

Олег продолжай эту игру, было бы интересно смотреть серии через день ❤

okay but what if i cant sing

Butch Vig is looking very young nowadays.

Is it on?

POYG!

i’m not sure i understand - what’s the benefit of boosting and attenuating the same frequency?

I definitely be over eqing my own vocals tryna make it perfect and I end up making it worse everytime😂 other people It’s all good

bro says this after that vocal already went through a 20k outboard vocal chain xd

Me, listening to this on my phone speakers, and hearing zero difference: "Oh yeah that 12k boost really hits the spot on these female vocals 🧐"

I guess if you don’t have a great analog EQ you could try to do what you can with a plugin

whats the difference network boost and attenuation? boost is probably gain but the other one?

Cutting through the mix? What a piano?

Honestly, I think this bad advice for beginners. Telling people to be sheepish with their eq choices is going to only send them in the wrong direction. 99 percent of artists might be doing this because it’s how you get a modern polished sound.

No change heard on earbuds. Waste more money on non-existing changed to your sound.

This is all and good if you have a balanced recording already, even proximity etc. I usually have what I call a vocal-edit chain when I’m editing with dynamic EQ and compressor (depending on recording chain) which I commit to before mixing the different buses where these subtle techniques comes into play.

"female vocal" as if all females have the same god damn voice box...

Never understood why plugins try and emulate the UX of a real physical unit ... bad UX .. only really works when you have physical controls

butch is looking good. someone found the fountain of youth.

Thank you 🫡🙏

I don’t stop moving shit around until I sound like Optimus prime, but it works for the media I make. I’m not a singer, so I’m not going for a perfect curation, I just let the AKG C414 cut through. I’m focused on getting the best takes possible, and sometimes annunciation takes a hit if it means the capture checked off most of the boxes. Speaking properly on certain genres like darkspin trap should also be avoided, as it breaks the immersion, and the FXs help pick up your annunciations and add a texture of sorts. Result is like a mix between Yeat, Redda, and Travis. My next goal is to pick up RX 11 and stack that with Ozone to create a conveyor belt work ethic where i’m never in one area for too long. Making the beat/song itself should take the most time for me. Mastering and dialing vox are my weak areas, but videos like this help me understand just how many rules i’m breaking. I can stay on key if It stay inspired, so I basically tap into this alter ego of sorts, and lean into the role. I’m talking near peaking flangus, chorus/delay bus is reaching fr the sky, and I know if Dave Pensado or some shit was to look at my sesh, he’d probably call the cops. I follow like 80%-90% of general engineering protocol then I leave the rest for modulation/experimenting. I know now in Trap people want to soft clip their songs right into hell, and underground have pretty much abandoned mastering as a priority altogether, but I can commit to that. lol my body cringes in disgust if I let it that shit turn into crack soup. Thanks for the video and let’s have fun.

Cutting through the mix? The mix is one guitar ... + the vocal.

The fact you changed paramaters based off of visuals instead of your ears makes this advice average.

when i do it my whistle/ nasal tone come out its so annoying

What’s the song called

It's easy, yes. But why is it "musical"?

Dana Carvey you can't fool me. Nice try master of disguise

Who is the singer here? Sounds like a friend of mine. Initials LH by chance?

that plugin collapsed the harmonics ,and brought out a brittleness ... stay away from cheap plugs
