That expand function before the actual compressor was a plot twist. Thanks for sharing knowledge reid

@jorrharris 2 жыл бұрын

Can someone explain what the point of doing that is? I don't understand why you would want to make it more dynamic just to compress it again?

@itsederrengifo Жыл бұрын

@@jorrharris as far as I understand you saturate the peaks with the expand option so when the second compressor happens, you create a subtle distortion, which enhances the transients and adds more warmth. That's my best guess

@ReidStefanMusic 5 жыл бұрын

Thicc Shag rug on the floor and thicc acoustic foam covering most ceiling / wall surface are necessary to get the cleanest sound out of any recording gear. I also preamp, low cut, and lightly compress my mic with the analog gear in my studio tour video 🤘🏻

@Des_Armoni 5 жыл бұрын

Reid Stefan 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thanks for blessing us. I’m doing all those things with my apollo in terms of preamp then lo-cut and compression but definitely going to add that ceiling foam and rug!

@ReidStefanMusic 5 жыл бұрын

Just Dez make sure the acoustic foam is about 4” thicc cuz those 1” thin grey egg carton looking squares that are sold cheap will barely help your acoustics! Also those curved shields that wrap around the back of the mic will not solve any acoustical problems even tho they claim to! 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have always added a compressor on a send track, threshold up full, attack fairly high (70% to 80% cranked up) and release completely down. Then the same type of compression is easy to adjust onto any track you are using.

@gezma12 3 жыл бұрын

Mr Stefan, could you possibly explain why you used an expander to accentuate the vocal dynamics before using the compressor to control them please? Aren't you making the compressor work harder by doing that so you have to use a higher ratio on the compressor to level the performance? sorry if this is a noob question.

you can build a deesser with freq splitting (solo in m-Band) and isolating the freq around 5k+ and set a compressor on it. sidechain on the band you created (use bpass around 5 k with high q) . you can save it, it should readress it's sidechain input to itself(if not save the track asproject and drop it in. there you go

I got Ableton Live 10 Lite! I got it when I bought my Scarlet Focusrite 6i6! and it looks like my Pro Tools first is no longer available but I've been using Garage Band to start off learning but I think I'm ready to switch DAW's to really get those Nice vocals. The automation in GarageBand is so tedious and I don't feel like I have much control. I really do like how big the digital library is GarageBand however I must expand my skills in music production!

@TheOneETG 4 жыл бұрын

If you're looking for good vocals you should probably switch to a better AU than a Scarlett. That line has terrible preamps. Yeah, good mixing and mic quality can save your vocals somewhat, but not nearly as much as just having good quality audio to begin with.
