@@Producelikeapro Not really, that's why im watching you :-) Anyway, Not really a delay tip used for mixing/production, but sometimes if you do the "random delay" trick you showed in the video, and keep it up in the mix while recording the guitar solo, you can capture a pretty cool and energic performance.. Ok, so it doent work everytime.. lol.. Maybe it's something to try out when its time for the bassplayer to redo his first lifeless performance as well and make it groooove. Then when you're done recording you turn the delay fx's down again.

Hey Warren, great video as always! In regards to compression, Id love to get more of glimpse into the why's of compression. Specifically, what are you trying to achieve with certain attack and release times. And more importantly why. In this video you show cased a great example of manipulating compression to give you the faster release time and that was priceless! I so often feel many people (myself included) throw a compressor on a channel or buss for the sake of throwing a compressor on a channel or buss without the full understanding of what we are trying to achieve by adding such. Beyond the basics of volume control; in what instances are you looking to shorten a sound vs lengthening a sound. In what instances are we trying to emphasize impact vs making it softer? Apologies for the long question.

I like the tips- but 1176 is one of the fastest compressors out there. If you dial up the ratio higher (to 12 or 20) and dial back the input, I think you'll find it does a far better job at grabbing those transient peaks. You won't have to jump through the hoops of duplicating the track and doing all that extra bussing

@najinelson67424 жыл бұрын
Hi Warren , first of all: I love watching your videos, your British accent is great - "I hope you are doing marvelously well" and your is it "shnits and schnitzels (?)" (reminds me of "Wiener Schnitzel" each time). I have a question: you seem to add quite a lot of new things to a mix. How do the artist(s) react, when you sometimes give some new character to a mix? I mean, maybe an artist does not want to be changed too much, he wants a mix with the character he has added to a song!? Let us take a famous song: "Purple Rain" by Prince. There is a very remarkable delay on vocals. If Prince had recorded this song in a studio with dry vocals and a mixing engineer would have added that kind of delay to his vocals, there could have been two reactions: "joy or disappointment, I think - is the mixing engineer going crazy, what has he done to my voice!!!???. Do you know what I mean? How far can a mixing engineer go? Prince of course was a very special artist, he was doing most of the things by himself, especially in his early years and he actually did not care too much about the quality of his recordings - the mix had to be as good as possible finally, it was more about the composition or releasing something completely new. By the way, Prince recorded an mixed quite a lot in Sunset Sound studios in LA, and Paisley Park´s Studio3 in Minneapolis was or is a copy of it. Susan Rogers has some interesting videos here on youtube talking about her collaboration with Prince. It is also intersesting that sometimes mistakes give a special character to a song. E.G. "If I was your girlfriend", the vocals clipped red during recording (with analog gear!) and sounds distorted, but it is simply great or "Forever in my life" also by Prince, the background voices had been moved by mistake, again the result is simply great and his Prince´s Camille voice on songs like "U got the look" "Shokadelica" and many more with a kind of Mickey Mouse effect - Prince fans love it - how did he do this voice? - have to find it in google. The question was: How far can you go as a mixing engineer?

@OdinOfficialEmcee5 жыл бұрын
Can someone tell me if I'm understanding the final trick properly? So you take your main track, duplicate it and move it to be ~20ms faster. On the main you have a compressor at it's fastest attack time being fed by a key input (a bus). You then route your delayed track to your key input bus to "speed up" the attack time via it acting 20ms in advance, right? The part that's confusing me is the fact that there is no delayed sound in Warren's video when logically it feels like there should be. Maybe I don't fully understand key inputs yet, but it seems like there is no level from the delayed track being heard? How is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
@OdinOfficialEmcee5 жыл бұрын

@acmeyakko5 жыл бұрын
Negative delay? :) There's a setting in Pro Tools to bring up sends at 0 instead of -INF, so you don't have to change it each time. Any reason why you sent the vocal side chain input track to a random bus rather than no out or even the send bus instead of a send? When I split my bass DI to two channels for different processing, I put two sends and output to no output (makes more sense to my eye). If I'm only going to one place, like the side chain trick, I'd just send to the bus.
