It is amazing how beautiful a simple harmony can make a melodic line sound! I like to nudge the attack, release and slides to match as much as possible.

Vocal production is one of those things that there are so many different ways to approach. Even techniques like this that I've used there's always little nuances to the way people do things that you can learn from no matter how long you've been doing it. One thing I often do if I'm struggling with working out harmonies or with a singer not familiar with how to figure them out, is use a pitch correction tool to create a "robo-harmony" guide track to show what notes to be aiming for and even play it through the headphones whilst capturing the actual performance. Can sometimes be easier to latch onto than the old piano/keyboard guide. Just my 2 cents.

1:57 this is just my opinion but I feel like this is way more of a “choir” or chorale then gang vocals. To me at least gang vocals is supposed to be the sound of an entire bar singing a song or a group of friends in the car. It makes you feel like you’re surrounded by people. Nothing wrong with a choir just feels different to me.

Very nice Idea👍🏼 But do you have some clicks recorded in the BVs? I hear some clicks.. Two Questions: do you often use the stock inside Logic Compressors? Are they the same Quality like per example Compressors from Waves or is there a Audioquality difference? Greetings from Switzerland And keep on rocking

Thanks for the video! What's the difference between a "gang vocal" and a "background vocal"?
@NathanJamesLarsen 3 жыл бұрын
Absolutely! Gang is more of that choir / big group sound. Background vocals are usually more talking about the typical harmonies you'd do with your lead. Gang vocals still background vocals just not usually the term most would use to describe it.

How do you like the method to edit the vocal choirs in a extra environment and then bounce the ready mixed for example 8 voices as a wave and copy that to your main mix. So you have less Tracks. Or is this bad for later steps? Thx

@ 6:50 what’s the purpose of eq >> compression >> eq?
@AmyJ0Y. 3 жыл бұрын
EQ can help brighten and darken your vocals (or instruments) and it even help with “S”es in songs. It’s something you just gotta play around with. A compressor is ESSENTIAL!! It really transforms the attack of your vocals and helps enhance your voice when the track is really loud.

I understand the arrangement is more important than mixing, but the chorus part is hard to deal with. All instruments and vocals come together, and I think only mixing skill can figure it out, but not arrangement in this case. What is your opinion?
@NathanJamesLarsen 3 жыл бұрын
Keep in mind that the most useful tool in all of mixing is volume. I know so many just preach on plugins but balance is the absolute most important part of mixing is getting things balanced with volume. If you have a mess even when balancing - the arrangement is too dense most likely
