@michaeltravis3562 Жыл бұрын

Automation is everything. I rarely use a "set and forget" method on effects. I like to adjust the parameters of ALL effects as the song plays. For example, being able to ramp up the size of a reverb when the singer hits the last note of a verse (and then increase wetness to drag out the tail) gives you total control. I have faders jumping everywhere at playback, and they often represent effects parameters (not just volume levels).

This is such a great tutorial so far about reverb and how to make it greater to fit in the mix , it is very settle. However, you missed out to mention that the FX send has to be pre-fader instead of post-fader or post-pan because of its internal performance influence and independent control that you can have when having the send FX pre or post.

love your thoughts Chris.... maybe most here are like me with semi-powerful home DAWs and work on personal projects?... in most pro DAWs it's unlimited tracks, or more than we can use (or keep track of) so i like to get the vocal eq'd and compressed. add what fx in the chain, then duplicate the main track as many times as fx i may use. 2 tracks for plug-in chains. 1 track for pasted echoes. maybe 1 more track for filtered resonant voice if warranted. that's 5 tracks... mute the fx in main and the fx not used in other tracks, even delete unused plug-ins if CPU power is an issue. by doing this we have control of everything within each track, even kicking the audio a few ms for phasing or chorus... we can easily automate each track so delay backs off but verb hangs in without affecting the whole chain etc... may even wish to have that "ol' radio" sound in parts and back to lush verbs with backings... i like to make a wave file out of some fx tracks and bring in on new tracks so i can further play with it like an ADSR envelope. also possible to time stretch, reverse, and more..... and when we make an fx file we may just be able to capture a little bit of magic especially if using wah, phaser, chorus type fx. it's all up to the imagination... a lot of the time less is more... if fx are to be used it's best to do as Chris says and keep the main dry. best tip... buy the most silent mic you can for your budget. Rode make some awesome mics with a noise floor of about 7db-10db for reasonable $$.... with a low noise floor it's truly amazing how much better fx can sound without the presence of airy hiss. decent interface helps too. if you make dirty low-fi type sound then noise floor isn't an issue. you could use an old tape recorder mic if that's what gives the sound you're looking for... the rest gets hidden in the mix or cleaned with software.
