Thanks for watching and commenting!

That doesn't need a video. 1. Good equipment. 2. Good acoustic recording environment 3. Proper input gain.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Yes I will definitely do one.

Yess, you represent me @ManMediaTZ Thanks

No you will definitely need to de-ess. Always try to set the level of the vocal takes correctly where you want them before adding compression.

You could definitely use a limiter to handle peaks. The 1176 is essentially acting as a limiter though in some fashion by using a higher ratio. You also get some of the flavor and characteristics from a compressor if you use it instead of a limiter.

You could use a clipper, limiter, or compressor and achieve the same result. Limiters tend to be more transparent than most compressors. Clippers are super aggressive limiters that intentionally add distortion, for character. Compressors can have as little or as much character as you like, and can be run aggressive or gentle, making them the most versatile and creative option for most engineers. It just depends on what you like, what you think sounds good.

I struggled with that too when I 1st tried these plugins. Try level matching the input and and the volume it's playing back in. Then compress and level match again.

Use anything you have access to.

@@JesusFromTheHood for real man. They are amazing

@@mixwithjerry okay man sure. Thanks for the video

Yes, its really good👍🏼

You are lying.

There's no list of specific scenarios. There's just math and how it sounds to your ears. A 12:1 ratio is appropriate in any situation where you need 12db of gain reduction for every 1db of input gain that exceeds your set threshold. That's really the only objective truth that could be said about your question (anything else that can be said is subjective). What effect this has varies wildly depending on the source material and where you've set your threshold, attack, and release. Got a really peaky bass guitar that gets lost in the mix when you'd rather have something more consistent sounding, sure, go with a high ratio. But in that scenario, setting a threshold too low might squash the signal too much or setting it too high might not affect the signal as much as you would like. But you might also get to your objective better with a lower ratio and a lower threshold. It all depends on what sound you want. Compression is tough to figure out at first, and sometimes it can take years to hear it. I'm not trying to sound snooty about this. It's just that I've been there and I've learned from my experience that you have to understand the math first to know logically how the settings affect the signal and with enough time, you'll just hear what you need to without thinking about it.

Different knee, compresses later and harder, which is best suited for catching peaks if that's the goal.

What do you mean?

I built my own using the Ryzen 2700 chip.

@@oompapompaa6543 yeah it’s a full computer with 32gb of ram

@@mixwithjerry good information. What Ryzen CPU? Which Model

Vocal recording is a mono sound source. Only used one microphone, not two, to record the vocal. Same signal comes out of the left and right speaker.

No need to hate on the mullet.

@@mixwithjerry I'm not, I was suggesting an idea to re-shape it.

Turn the analog feature off at the bottom.

@@mixwithjerry always have it off maybe its my harsh cheap ass at2020 mic...

@@RobRuffMusic Never had a problem using the UAD one.. maybe its static being pushed from the mic or the circuitry or room like you suggested?

@@babyfacerizzo I don't know about UAD... I use WAVES and its horrible.

@@RobRuffMusicProbably your microphone amplifier rather than the AT2020

It’s tough to please everyone. I always have comments on my channel saying it sounds clean and asking for the voiceover chain. All I can do is make my videos how I like them.

It doesn't sound bad, your chain is certainly good. My ear is just sensitive to compression and sustained loudness. It may not be affecting everyone, so I'm not saying you need to change your process -- just that it could be very obvious to some people. @@mixwithjerry

Yeah I feel you. Ain't no worries. Thank you for the feedback!@@Itsallawesome

In another video you make fun of my singing when I’m just trying to help people with mixing. To me, it seems that you’re just being overly negative in the comments to stroke your own ego.

You can use any compressors that you’d like, plugin or hardware. I’m just teaching serial compression. Not sure how that is disgusting. Your comment is a pretty rough look on your end.
