This is a great effect chain. I don’t have the Manny EQ, so I’ll have to sub it out for H-EQ or the R-EQ. I haven’t learned how to side chain the music on vocal rider yet, so this vid was worthwhile for that tip alone.

Hey Sean! As always, you deliver some great videos with awesome information. I had a question... I noticed that you used that vocal chain in the "main vocal" channel opposed to routing it down to a FX,Group channel? For this particular process, do you recommend that it is best to do this (vocal rider, eq & deesser) on the main vocal & then then routes your main tracks to their Aux (FX,Group Channel) to additional compression, eq, etc?

Hey sean, I would be really happy if you could link your latest presets for vocal editing and your latest master preset, I'll buy them from you don't get it wrong, but recently I've had the problem that I somehow don't always get the voices on the beat, which I do mine is, for example, I can not estimate how loud the beat should be and how loud the voices should be mixed. I currently do it so that I take the maximum value of the melody, for example -12 DB and do all main tracks -12 DB and the rest of the stuff as it sounds good, but it still seems to me as if I'm still mixing over beat, there is probably a plugin except trackspacer because I don't check it at all.

@xavierfaison1813 2 жыл бұрын
great video thumbs up from me all day 👍👍👍 quick question though might be a stupid question😬 but when it comes to the hook and the verse should they be equal loudness like for example should the hook be a little louder than the verse or should they be the same volume and if the same volume what would be the best LUFS number for them to both be hitting at? and again sorry if its a stupid question but I would really like to know bc I am a beginner
@SeanDivine 2 жыл бұрын
No definitely rules or levels that will work every time - use your ears and adjust accordingly! In some situations, it helps the arrangement / flow of the song to have a subtle lift on the hook.

Sean what are your thoughts on using Soothe 2 in a vocal chain? I find myself really buying into the hype and keep thinking my mixes would sound way better if I used Soothe 2 even though I try my best with Pro-Q3's Dynamic EQ to cut/boost any frequencies I don't like... My ears are not that of a grammy engineer and I wonder if someone like me would just be better of using Soothe 2 lol

The main vocal track input is mono. The studio rack loaded is m->s which changed the output / metering of the track to stereo. But then all plug-in instances within studiorack you loaded are in mono. Can you shed light on this? If you didn’t didn’t use studio rack and added those same plugins directly to logic channel strip, would you have used mono or stereo versions of those plugins? Does it matter? 🙏🏼

JT sry this is late imma engineer myself, all u have to use is a LA2A Opto style compressor using 2-3 db going into a pultec eq with default setting just to gel it together and what ever else u use (autotune, reverb, delay, etc) doesn’t matter what plug-ins u use as long as it’s sound good that’s all that matters
