Seriously I just love Tom, even though he's a bit on the crazy side, he's still one of my all time favorite musicians. His music has had a major impact on my life.

tom actually isnt a very good singer so if they didnt process the shit out of it you would really hear it lol i still love em tho

#BigFacts 😂

It was probably recorded into a compressor to begin with too

I actually laughed when I saw that needle fully pin it. I've wasted so much time doubting myself and my overuse of vocal compression.

Whatever sounds good. Do it.

🤘🏻

davedayssss !! I Used to have so much fun watching your videos back in high school when you wore that green polo, sang feliz navidad and had a special relationship with a certain cardboard Disney celebrity hahah. So funny to randomly stumble upon you like this. I see you've done a loooot of original music since then, just checked out the weezer-ish track want your love, it's very catchy i'll add it to my playlist right away 👍 glad to see you're still rocking and progressing and getting these hard earned views ! very happy for you man 😁

I love you

Same lol

same lol

same loL

Same, these angels & airwaves tracks were MONUMENTAL to me as a teenager. Truly larger-than-life

Huh

AMEN TO THAT best album hands down ever created!

Listen to The Joshua Tree. You obviously haven't heard enough albums lol

Correct statement would be "This is one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to."

@@IceBreakBottle If U2 is the best you've got I suggest you take your elitism somewhere else. At least ggimmie something pretensious and obscure if you're gonna be that guy

@@ThisMankindBand You obviously don't know songwriting. Also that album was Toms inspiration for pretty much everything Angels and airwaves.

As he sits around amazing gear...

@@fucuszullanti7877 😂

Exactly the meaning of the shirt...

Olha só quem estou vendo por aqui, sou teu fã, aprendi muito com vc mestre!

@@lightvtproductions obrigado pelo carinho, Vitor. Estou sempre estudando e aprendendo. Um abraço!

Fala mestre vc gosta do Angels and Airwaves??

@@AkidaToritama nunca parei pra ouvir com atenção

Brabooo

Great, more work for the rest of us!

@@AlexFarleyMusic 🤣🤣🤣

His vocals are good here though

@@AlexFarleyMusic Lol the absolute state of you wanting others to fail so you can get more work since you can't get it on the merits of your own work.

@@effyiew7318 That's a complete misinterpretation. I never once alluded to wanting the OP to fail. Not sure where you got that from.

Sign up for Nail the Mix and you can have access to Tom's vocal tracks yourself

Copious amounts of pitch correction is a big part of it, not just being rigidly "in tune" but the distortion it adds as well.

@@wado1942 That, and the after effects from all his health problems, cancer, his back problems, the painkillers, and aging. But I also think he makes a conscious effort to not sound "whiny" anymore based off what I heard in interviews

@@wado1942 He's had copious amounts of pitch correction since Enema. He also had something with his sinuses that fucked him up

Tom had to figure out to how to use his voice fully with Angels And Airwaves. His addiction and alcoholism definitely had an affect towards his voice but I think his age in general. I mean he sings non stop and that has an affect on it too.

Agree. They have yet to touch that album in regards to the mix and how clean it sounds. Do I dare say it’s even got the best collection of songs as well. Yes I do dare!

Agreed. Which is why I couldn't stick with being a fan of AVA. I got bored. We Don't Need To Whisper was their best put together project

I mean… you should trust him probably because he’s mixed some of the most iconic rock songs of all time?

You can find AvA stems / Blink 182 stems online. Type in Remix Packs RU on Google, and you'll find them. Lots of pro sessions on there.

@@OverdriveMusic websites like remix packs get their stems from rock band and usually they're not raw, they're already mixed

Wow why’ve I never thought of this

LOL 😆

To be fair. CLA76 has a very distinct sound that isn’t as clean as the BF76. I used to love the CLA76 but I’m now realizing how much it alters the tone vs just giving me the compression that I want.

@@skylerfelix7609 facts here. CLA version blue and blue is all color the BF76 is crisp AF

T racks 76 takes the win

Faux sho! I was stoked to be able to hear raw-ish Tom Delonge vocals in this vid! Id be ecstatic to hear raw vocals off of self titled and watch the mixing process on that!

Best mixes of Tom's vocals are on that album imo

I'm lost without you too

Ryan Hewitt did a video of mixing Obvious

Jerry Finn produced all of blinks music from 99-04, but he passed away sadly so I don’t think we’d ever see that ;(

@@FallenHyde On wikipedia, the album had 4 mix engineers and TLA mixed "I miss you"

stay focused and on topic lol

I’ve seen this video on KZfaq. Just look up blink behind the scenes I miss you

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNihh8Wq1bq6l4U.html

Its very polished.

I’m soo glad somebody said this!

so true. machine gun kelly especially

(C)rappers? White boy

@@MIDNIGHT7K what are you?

@@ZumaDogg a money making nigga, white boy

Is it? I was wondering since he said “unaffected” vocal tracks..but you can clearly hear auto tune in it..

Yea hes the mixing engineer. Usually vocals get passed onto someone who can give their full attention to making them perfect. And then pass them along to the mixing engineer :)

A recording school, or find mentorship

I'm starting to learn about the recording, I already understand (to extent) the sound insulation in the room and the microphone/effects and how to use it as a singer, and I assume that comprehension (or absence of comprehension) are factors in consulting with options for producers, engineers and mixing... communication is really important, the same tone volume and emphasis from a singer can be recorded really well and the same thing would be different in a different room or if the mic is closer

I believe Tom Lord-Alge is mixing the new album!

That was the original version that was leaked on MySpace

so what you think of it

100%. Huge sound

Agreed. The production on that album is incredible.

Also check out The Night Game - I Feel Like Dancing. He killed that mix

No... just mixing. Jerry Finn was the producer

@@aleknostar let’s not forgot Critter (rest in peace). He’s an incredible engineer that played a huge role in the first 3 albums and Tom even called him the 5th member in the documentary

@@stevengold I was reffering to Blink not AAA.

Practice

That's odd. For me it's CPU that hurt's with more plugins used. Are you using a lot of samples and whatnot? As Samples are more RAM based IME. On a cheap PC the CPU won't be as good as say a custom built PC. And nowadays is not the time to be building because of GPU costs, and overall inflation for parts due to the pandemic. Will probably happen for the next 2-3yrs. Best bet if your going to be looking in that time to upgrade your computer would be to buy a prebuilt computer with the right CPU, GPU, and whatever else you can get, then replace what you absolutely must have! For me I MUST HAVE Thunderbolt motherboard on my PC. Which means I have to go INTEL as AMD does not support Thunderbolt. So if I get say the Gigabyte Designare Motherboard(which is great for thunderbolt mobo's)I'll need to make sure everything fit's that when I wanna switch it out with the prebuilt stuff. And if it's pre-built watercooled...look out! That's a train-wreck right there so stay away if possible! Also to this day, AMD has all around issues with Sound based processing! Meaning everything from your plugin GUI's not displaying correctly with an AMD based GPU, to having your DAW crash all the time with crazy errors! Happened to me and I had to switch to Intel, even though the Gamers say AMD beats Intel, that's not true for stability in the recording studio! Just saying.

@@assshakerstudios549 I mis wrote. I meant CPU

@@assshakerstudios549 I have a full on AMD system (5600 GPU , Ryzen 3700). No issues with plugins displaying or errors in Studio One/Cubase/Reaper.

Yeah but he still gets the same effect by processing the vocal parts differently.

@Teej I'm changing from intel... can't wait.

Auto-tune, probably.

Tons of manual editing, comping and re-pitching

While I don't doubt that a lot of the vocals are repitched, they spent a shit load of time doing vocals if you watch The Machine behind the scenes of that albums recording. Tom sang really well on a lot of the vocal takes. Its a lot easier to get a good sound in your own home and studio where you're comfortable.

@@michaelpalmer5351 Nah, vocals like Tom’s are ruined pretty easily with too much pitch correction. The take itself also sounds pretty natural. I’m guessing he did a lot of them to get that particular one.

@@HeiseyMotors I do some of my worst shit I ever shat in my comfortable home

I'd much prefer a sterile comp for most applications. Too many comps on the market aim to color the sound and not the other way around. That break up wasn't a pleasing break up in my opinion.

It's the LSR audio VLB902
