At last a video from a grammy award winning producer showing you how to record professional sounding vocals, whilst only using the Logic For x plugins. Thank you Seth this couldn't have landing for me at a better time, as i was in the process of finally adding the vocals to the instrumental backing track. As a vocalist this information is priceless. So looking forward to applying your technique. Thanks a million.

Seth, thank you so much for sharing this material!!, I also have found really helpful the Autopunch recording option of logic pro x, so you just record one part of the vocals, instead of recording it all over again. As you said there are many ways and options to record vocals and each producer has his own way, I just wanna point out that extra option is available for those who use logic pro x too. Thank you again, I just already subscribe to your channel to follow your work.

Gotta be one of my top three most impactful videos I have watched with regards to musical production on KZfaq, followed by number two which is the video you did after this. Thank you so much. I actually have upgraded recently to an Apollo twin and was not at all happy with the sound I was getting, tried it for the first time yesterday with my usual Neumann TLM 103, which I love but is perhaps now picking up the floors in my studio more than the previous soundcard allowed, perhaps? Going into my studio to try the SM7, which thankfully I have and also like :-) Can I ask whether you ever use the unison preamps plug-ins within the Apollo console? I have an external mic preamp, but even using a trs cable can’t seem to bypass the Apollo preamp. Would you recommend using a preamp plugin or just go completely dry? Many thanks!

What are you setting the gain at on your shure smb7? - finding it odd how much lower the vocals tend to come in - i use the apogee duet and have run the shure through clouds mic pre amp before going into the duet - never sure where to have the gain in the apogee software sometimes in at 33-35 - it always seems loud as hell in the headphones but records extremely lower waveforms than my instrumentals

@ogbeidedesmond Жыл бұрын

Hello Seth, I wanna ask do you put the reverb on the vocal track because the purpose of just hyping the vocal? Because the more suitable way is to send it to bus right? Just want to know the reason behind it. Thanks a lot!!

That's fading the track in and out to prevent any clipping or weird noises that might happen at the beginning or end of a track
