Try adjusting your mic levels you should do mic check in every studio wavy showed me that if adjust your levels before recording

@makmusikchi Жыл бұрын

your mic input is probably set too high. Also, the beat may have been bounced out too low. i like to make sure my vocals when recording are at about -5 to 0db. Your beat should sit around 0db to leave some headroom for the vocals. And when recording i leave both the beat and vocal tack at 0 then mix. I should mention that i also send my mic input into a bus track with a compressor on it and then bus that signal to an audio track to record.

@jaysRiddum Жыл бұрын

Set volume to -12db before recording vocals. Thank me later. That's how pros do it

@sarahtonin4649 2 жыл бұрын

Another great job, and what a fine vocalist. I often do use the Vocal Rider as a first step, but I only use it to write an initial automation track, because it only takes a few seconds. That gives me a rough automation, based only on the amplitude of the wave. So then all I have to do is use my ears, which I do trust, to fine tune the automation that Vocal Rider wrote. I also use the clip gain feature during the mixing process, which is essentially the same in Studio One, my DAW of choice.

Or if you could do a break down on the Sibilance Plug in From Waves do i can get a better understanding I’d hella appreciate that as well. Thanks WavyWayne for another dope tutorial.

Turn down the attack an release on ur auto tune setting. If u can't then try the old tpain plug in where u can go from soft(which is little to no auto tune) or hard which is the opposite. A lot or all the way. Tighten it up how? In the mix? Try some reverb/delay
