Those raw vocals sound better than my finished vocals ever will.

"Pretty dull" haha!! The unprocessed vocal is so well recorded/sung/time-aligned that already sounds better than the finished vocals from anything I mixed during my first 5 years! Working my way up I was given horrible recordings, and struggled so much (I was known for making miracles), that it was some pretty intensive training. But it also felt like I was struggling 90% of the time, instead of enjoying the process. I even gave up at some point and stopped mixing for a few months. Meanwhile, some of my mixes were released, and were kind of successful, so I was back in the game in no time, and at a different level. The first time I was given a real professionally recorded session, complete with production notes, and EVERYTHING PROFESSIONALLY EDITED / TUNED and ready to go, I cried of happiness! Nearly everything I tried worked, sounded good, and had a place in the mix without an insane ammount of effort/problem fixing. The whole process became easy, smooth and, best of all, CREATIVE. It all made finally sense. So fellas, don't be surprised if you try everything that Jordan does here and you don't get the same results. The source material is as important as what you do with it. Go find people that are as passionate as you are with sound engineering/producing/mixing and try to be more selective with the quality (and execution) of the music that ends up in your hands. And then, watch this video again!

Didn’t expect to see Neck Deep or Silverstein producer on Recording Revolution. This is dope

man, your tutorials are incredible. what a treat. thank you.

How did I miss this video when it came out? Jordan, you are becoming one of my favs. Appreciate the info, and appreciate someone that just tells people what works instead of dancing around the subject for 40 minutes. Here's your frequency, this is what it does, boom bingo bonzai baby we're mixin now. I'd like to know who the female singer is. That's a killer song.

I know is not the focus of the video, but those drums in the first track sound sooo good!

I learned so much sounds proffesional Graham wouldnt allow anything less, your voice for taching is good​and easy to follow Thankyou​

Like others are saying this just really highlights the NECESSITY to get it right on the way in. Practice practice practice. Thanks for the vid!

Excellent worrrrk ....love the 1176 beautiful compressor

This is really great, thank you guys!

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this enlightening video! Great example of what sound you can get by putting the EQ before a lot of compression. I too would love to know who the artist and or writer was for the first song so I can buy the track. Amazing vocal and band. Reminded me a little of Badfinger.

I really like the easy explaining of your approach its great..

This would be great if the raw vocal didn’t sound like it was recording with a 251, in a heavily treated room running through a bae or neve 73

Great reminder on how to do it, Thanks

Well, the raw vocal sounds good to begin with. It does not need a lot of work as you said.

I saw this video in my neuro science class and that was awesome

Wow you are working with some really great singers

Bro, You are always just minimal to awesomeness. I just use your cheatsheet and i love my mixes😎

Man I love her voice 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks! Very helpful!

Great video🤘 the vocals sound great with the blue 1176. I use that on vocals and guitar. I also like to use the Plugchild

Love this video! It's so much easier to listen to his advice when it sounds this good

Great approach 👏

I would just like to let u know u just helped me so much with this video

Thanks for this tutorial

Thank you for your helpful tips

Amazing, so simple, so clean, so well explained. Bravo!!

Nice video. Very minimalist for the most part. Sorry about your Maple Leafs' early exit. My team didn't even make the 2021 playoffs :(

Very helpful Thank you.

Jordan I really Like this record bro major cool bounce to it 🔥🎶

Great, thanks!!!

Really cool, thank you

Lol that raw vocal sounds great compared to some mixed vocals I hear!

I totally dig your easy goin’, friendly on-camera presence. This was a great tutorial. I’ve been doing this stuff for almost as many years as you’ve been alive, but I still learned a nifty little new technique. Usually, I keep a close eye on the upper mid bands, but I guess for modern pop vocals, that 1.5k boost works. :) God bless. Keep up the good work, mate. :)

Very Nice, God Bless!

The songs are so damn good! Im gonna dig through the comments, I’m curious of the vocal chain. Both vocals had great foundations as far as the “raw vocal” takes. Haven’t seen the technique of the release as fast as possible. Gonna try this tomorrow. Cheers Jordan

this is very good tips. tnx

I really struggle with mixing vocals, I'm just starting so I don't mix that great yet but I'm really looking forward to improving. Thanks for your videos!

Killer video!

First of all - nice T-Shirt :)

Let’s go!

This was a great straight to the point tutorial!

Those raw vocal takes sound amazing on their own, both tracking and the artists performace are spectacular. I wonder if a compressor was used during tracking, maybe an La-2a?

i found that the howard benson vocal plugin is almost all i need just 4 more comps added to it at the end and im good!

Its amazing how good plugins are sounding these days!

It's always an 1176 😂

Vocalist kinda sounds like panic at the disco. Cool track and thanks for the tips!!

cool... thanks

This was a great video but i'm sure that these vocals have already been through much mixing already. However, i do believe this method alone can sometimes work, but it would also depend on your equipment (e.g microphone & interface) and the kind of vocals you are working with.

SSL E & CLA76 are a power couple 🖤

Great work BUT when did you put the reverb and echo in the chain which plug ins? what settings?

Jordan is a super under rated engineer.

I'm fairly new to mixing so this has been incredibly useful, thanks RR and Jordan! Question: I often find engineers suggesting putting an LA-2A style compressor immediately after the 1176 in the chain, that they work best together, etc. I see that Jordan doesn't do that here, so I'm just wondering why. Is it simply a matter of taste? Or unnecessary? Thanks for the great content!

thanks

my biggest mistake is spending way too long on a mix, my aural vision gets clouded. i miss things because of that cloudiness. especially because i tend to do vocals last.

Biggest crossover yet

Graham, i was just able to get my hands on a stam audio sa76 blue stripe and am super stoked to use it!!

Silverstein is a classic band to me. You worked on that?

What were the 3 Aux sends already engaged when you said "Raw Vocals"? I could clearly here one was delay...

Nine in the afternoon type beat

Burst in bloom was a fantastic fucking band!

I dont use those plug-ins,but this will help anyway : )

What song is this? Id love to listen to the finished mix

It really helps when the vocals are recorded and performed well.

Jordan is hella brave to be wearing that shirt 😂

Toronto maple leads. Awesome.🙃😉

Not sure if you mentioned, but what mic did you use?

This was very helpful, thanks. I have always been told my vocals and mix are muddy and unclear. What DAW is that? Pro Tools?

hey, i love this video. was this vocal chain on a bus or directly on the vocal?

Great video! Is the compressor really doing 10-20dBs of GR?

Did anyone notice that David survived the dentist? 😂 Great tunning!! Thanks a lot! What are the songs names?

What reverb and delay are being used on the vocals

The female record is FIRE!!

What mic, Mic Amp and Compressor hardware do you use, before you use any plug Ins? No one never shows that..

Fucking love this channel. Thanks.

Never seen Jordan so grizzly. Must've been using a little more decapitator than usual! 😜

How am I supposed to compare between with and without the compressor if you put and ad between them?

🤘

So what mics were used on the original recordings??

Back to the street where we began

Can you please do a KZfaq video on runtime in music 🎼?

Should have included what equipment the guy singer used to get that vocal to be so warm and full before it hit any processing

Does anyone know what the artist/name of the first song is? Giving me old-school Panic at the Disco vibes, love the track.

I’m going to start a band called “Radio Ready”. Ima get loads of free publicity on these videos! “W” 😂

Where can we hear these songs?? I really love the one with the female singer

Question: Is It Okay If I Have A Preset For My Voice Then After fully recording, render then re mix the audio as a whole?

Does anyone know how to best emulate these compressor settings in a compressor that goes by miliseconds instead of 1-7 like the CLA-76? I can't find the ms equivalents for the cla76 settings online. Thanks!

The song with female vocals sounds great! Who's the artist?

I would like to know what kind of mixer you are using to control p.t.

Came here after getting recommended by @yashrajmukhate on @beerbiceps show. 😊

What the name of this male vocal track? I like it and wanna hear the complete song

i kinda thought the raw vocal sounded way too good to be raw....maybe it had compresson and EQ on the way in??? tbh I thought it didnt sound dull at all haha :(

No reverbs, delays or sends on that? Somehow sounds like its already there from the room sound maybe in the recording?

there's me thinking I was hitting the 1176 hard at 8db GR hahaha

Am I getting it right that there's a gain reduction of between 10-20dB? Wow... Didn't expect this would sound that natural, very cool! Without the room on the vocals, the whole example would be even better comparable to me.

@recordingrevolution - I get it, maybe the song isn't released - but I can't figure out why the artist can't be shared so anyone watching the video can follow them or become a fan? This video has been up 6 months, multiple people have inquired, and no one associated with the video can answer? You'd think the band would want the free publicity.

Hi, 2:33 shows slowest release not fastest, or my eyes is wrong?

This should work for rap too right? I mean I love the sound so I’m doing it.

Raidio ready are u serious I tried this and it squashed my vocals?? My vocal chain sounds so much clearer and crispy. But then again. My mixer has British compressors and eq as I record live
