You get the sessions for free that come up after your subscription

@@nenntmichbond That's true, but there are also sessions that cost extra to unlock, like this one. I don't have a problem with that, per se...I just thought people should know that before they signed up.

@@mandatoryusername42 thanks man.

@Daniel Neuwert Glad to help. As far as I know, it's just those two. That said, if you dig Spiritbox or any of the other "name" bands they have on offer (Godsmack, Meshuggah, Amaranthe, etc.), it might be worth it to you to unlock their songs.

Actually not that surprising that you're not getting like 50 songs + hours and hours and hours of content for 1$, right? ;)

I dont listen to Spiritbox. But does she scream?

@@daoyang223 she does scream too.

Very true. The best producers in the world can’t polish a turd…you need good source material.

@@theopinson3851 The best producers can definitely polish turds. I have heard the worst digital drums turn into magic that you couldn't tell were computer made and garbage singers sounding perfect. You're definitely underestimating what talented producers can do.

@@eyeslikeoceans quantizing drums or correcting pitch is one thing. It can’t make up for bad tone or boring melodies. If you listen to a singer like Courtney she throws in all of these really cool subtle nuances like the glottal stops and breathy bits and chooses very interesting melodies. While a talented producer could probably coach through some of that the end result will not be the same.

@@theopinson3851 I'm not talking about quantizing or correcting pitch. Well, part correcting pitch I guess

@@eyeslikeoceans yeah I’d say that’s the most important way to polish, but if the imperfections are big it’s obvious and you get that “autotuned” sound. So if not pitch correction, what are you referring to?

The vocalists use a chain of fx just like in the studio, same thing, different application usually with more automation.

Just wait for the sale for the decapitator. They have them pretty often for like $30. Recently got the SSL NativeX Saturator, but forgot how much I paid for it. I like it.

Nani and rvox

This is all done with UAD Apollo. An emulation of a distressor was used and

Everything is subjective mane... 😂

That will never happen. Autotune will be a fact of the industry long past our time is up. Maybe forever.

@@LPVocals here forever like McDonalds crappy happy meals and war 🇺🇸😊

It is very likely the vocal track was still touched up with something like Melodyne before importing it into this project.

@@shredmore3049 not likely... definitely.. vocal correction is sterile and lacking in emotion. Rock and Metal bands put all the effort into playing guitar and drums brilliantly and forget to find truly great vocalists 🙁

@@shredmore3049 I mean he stated it was printed with tuning, so yes.

It's pro tools.

I think it’s more to get out of the way so you can listen to the audio stream without background noise. It’s weird, but I think I’d rather no noise or hiss with stops than not ever hearing the clear audio from the DAW!

@@jeremiahculver2776 For being an audio engineer he seems to be pretty dogshit at audio mixing for the video lol. You can have good sounding audio and also not be in the way of the daw

I use this approach too. Why? Because imo it’s easier to tweak than automation. You set up the main sound, then duplicate the tracks, and mute the unused parts. Now you can tweak the settings in each section without messing with the DAW’s automation lanes. And the end result is exactly the same.

How many hit records have you produced over there with your 1 subscriber and no videos?

I'm sure that you're gonna have Spiritbox in those DMs BEGGING you to mix the next one.

Sticking that dry vocal on the mix as is would get it swallowed up. He added harmonics to make it cut.

@@johnnyconcannon4483 whilst I appreciate the sarcasm, I never stated that I wanted them to. If the group is pleased with the overall performance, then so be it.

@@VVVY777 I'm not saying that he should have put it on there dry by any means, my apologies for thr misunderstanding. Compression, eq, rev/delay, that's all to be expected to shape the recording to cut and blend into the mix. Honestly, even using decapitator is something I'll do as well to add just a hair of low end body to vocals. Unfortunately, I'd link something I've done so im not speaking out my ass, but I tried digging up a few of my projects that I've worked on from Cambridge mixing library and I haven't a clue of where anything is. So I gotta remix everything.

I kinda felt the same about it... not just on this song either. Just from a listener's perspective, the vocals sound a bit overdone to me.

I think that’s the point. You aren’t supposed to hear the weird effects, they’re supposed to be just barely in there for the vibe. I do the same thing with my guitar tone. I often have chorus, tremolo, delay and reverb all going at the same time. But I don’t want to sound like an 80’s reject, so I keep them all really subtle. It’s hard to notice my effects until I actually turn them off and something I’d just missing. I’ll do the same thing tracking guitars. I usually have two guitars, one clean and one dirty, panned to stereo. And that’s what you’ll probably really hear. But then I add guitars with Big Muffs in the chorus, panned super wide. The Big Muffs have no mids and I keep them quiet, so you can’t really hear them, but even my wife can tell that something is just Missing without them. I’ll also sometimes put a noisy crazy guitar underneath, like a guitar with a Super Fuzz going through a hard tremolo and a big reverb with no predelay. By itself it just sounds like a mess, but 20 dbs under the rest of the tracks and it adds a subtle thickness and vibe. No one would hear it, let alone notice it, but even lay people can tell something’s wrong/missing when I take it out.

Aututone isnt gonna make a crap vocal sound good. This is a fantastic performance out the gate the autotune is just a finishing touch on top to give it a bit of stability it still sounds human and emotional af to me

@@charizardmaster13 My point was exactly what I put in quotes and not about performance. I'll narrow it down to "given". When it's a "given" that you think you need to slap AT on a track, it's a sad reality of todays music, IMHO.

@@MoreMeRecording okay i can understand that if your not into using any autotune but i personally dont have any issues with it if it makes something sound better im all for it. Its like saying its a sad state of affairs with music because we put compressors on things or eq things. Its an effect to be used to enhance a vocal not fix one

@@MoreMeRecording LMFAO*PLEB*

@@charizardmaster13 I’ve seen her live without autotune and honestly to my ears it’s not the same. Yeah it still had emotion but it sounds artificially perfect to me. You have an amazing singer with an amazing dynamic range, and you end up losing that with autotune. He’s basically overcompressing the vocals. Not every voice needs autotune to enhance it and she’s not one of them. She sounds more robotic with it than without it.
