thnks

Keep your ears safe, in the first part and don’t make boosts. Just three months of shelves in headphones, and one becomes partially deaf in high frequencies.

@@sevchykFym “don’t make boosts” lol. Just don’t make obscene shelf boosts. You don’t need to boost +12db on anything. But 1-3db isn’t gonna harm your ears.

Should you ever boost that much tho?

so true. im not messing with engineers like streaky but their job so easy. i can do the same, maybe even better when i take records like this. its almost sound like full mixed already. so clean, so good really good recorded

It would be more noticeable with an instrumental behind it, because you’d hear it filling in the frequencies he removed, etc. Which is exactly why you don’t mix vocals without the instrumental present

@@SaltSpirits you dont think you would do a good job doing a vocal mix then add instruments in?

@@Dane_Riazerfor me it’s the other way around, get the best out of the instrument part, only then i mix the vocal

Agree... It gives me things to learn and to try that are new and interesting. I' make a basic beat and try out these new techniques. Sometimes it inspires be to go beyond the loop and create something brand new.

Fr??

@@iloveeverything4380 Yeah. Just three months of high shelves in studio headphones three hours a day and your hearing will be partially blown. Don’t experiment…In-the-box mixes don’t need boosting, every track or vst is already bright as hell, they need cutting instead to produce what sounds similar to radio records…

@@iloveeverything4380Only if you severely overdo it. 1-3db should be fine depending on the vocal. Anything over that is pushing it.

@@SaltSpirits Do you know that sound pressure increases twofold just with a 3 db increase? Because of ear fatigue, say, after an hour of mixing, it will seem to you that the higher frequencies are not enough, and you will boost it on the eq, increasing the temporary threshold shift that is already there due to that fatigue. You will be playing with destiny whether that shift returns back or not). And when in the world do you need a high frequency boost? Vocals? They are already bright and sibilant when you record them. Bass guitar? Doesn’t need high frequencies. Acoustic guitar? It is already harsh recorded. The whole mix? High frequencies from other instruments already accumulate and smear it, so you have to cut instead. You have to cut them, but nobody on this fucking internet talks about that, beside the best engineers. Thousand of people on youtube tell you how to mix, and all of them tell you to boost something. Copycat idiots, don’t know the real mixing with safety precautions…

@@sevchykWhy would you go off like that on such an inoffensive topic lmao

Just follow my Instagram and save them there

there are others

Produce Like A Pro is great, Warren is fantastic and explains everything really well

Fabfilter Pro Q 3 plugin. And the software is logic pro that he uses the most. Tho the plugin is available on any DAW i guess

Trust me, there's no such thing as a "standard full vocal chain". You should always process audio for what is needed to obtain what your ears and brain want.

@@mttlsa686 That's true. But there are some standard inserts you could use. Something for tone, compression, clarity and air .. adjust to taste rather than not use entirely. There must be some things that people use either as standard or because they work so well on vocals. The clariphonic II is great for lift in the high end and midrange presence. I use that quite a lot

@@MOSMASTERING Yes mate, whatever it takes and fits to reach your goal and satisfy your brain to get close as possible with the sound that you've got in your mind and body. Personally, to give an example, if i want to give some clarity and air to a vocal, i prefer to use an EQ and tweaking it detailedly to perfectly get the sound that i've got in my mind, instead of using a plug in that automatically give clarity and air according with its parameter in a limited way (even if limitations are often good because they increase creativity) but this is probably some sort of mental illness so don't take this way as better than the others and do what you want and whatever you like as long as it fits and sounds good, the important thing is the knowledge. Learn the rules before masterfully breaking them, if and when you want.

@@mttlsa686 Thanks for your detailed reply, always appreciate talking with fellow sound-obsessed folk like myself :) I work as a mix and mastering engineer so I get to mix other peoples vocals fairly often, depends on the job I've been given. As for me personally, I make a lot of EDM.. I've just spent 3 solid days working on a kick and bass combination and I am so happy with it.. now I need to find sounds that fit over the top of it. I write a lot of music but I have never had the luck or chance to collaborate with anyone in 20 years of production. It would be an honour to just mess about making something with someone and see what happened

@@MOSMASTERING I love to talk about music, even more if "philosophically". I'm 38 and i'm into music since i was 7 when i've started to play guitar, self taught after learning just the very basic chords from my parents while listening to music by artists like The Queen, Metallica, Lucio Battisti (amazing and brilliant Italian musician/producer/singer/arranger, i suggest to listen to his music if you don't know him by any chance), Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and other great Bands/Singers thanks to the good tastes of my family (God bless them). At 16 after my first clubbing night i gained interest in electronic music and i've started to make the first steps in music production and DJing. After 8 years i had the opportunity to play as a Dj in some renowned clubs in Rome but i've quitted for various reason so i've stared to study the art of mixing as much as possible in every possible way while making music just for fun (more for a physical need to be honest) and now it's only 4 years that i'm making my first productions, taking some friends/singers songs to life in my home studio (being paid for what i honestly deserve) but again, i do it firstly because it's a physical and mental need which I can't do without. Moreover i'm a perfectionist and the biggest critic of myself so i'm never happy and i'm struggling every fucking day because i'd change something every time i listen to what i've made. 🤣
