Vocal production is such a key part of producing great music, so here are three vocal production tips that I wish I would've known years ago when I first got started. These are super helpful for anyone wanting to take their vocal production to the next level!

For your third trick: reverse the vocal part ‘without reverb’, then record the reversed part with reverb, then reverse the recording. This way the trail actually leads up to the correct sound. Doing it your way: if the vocal said ABC, you’re putting the trail of C into the beginning of A. But what you really want to do is have reverb from the letter A going into the beginning of A.

I'm trying so hard to understand what you wrote but I'm failing. Are you saying I should 1) Reverse the part that I want it to lead up to 2) Add reverb 3) Reverse the reversed audio that now has reverb? Because then the audio wouldn't be reversed anymore...I don't get it. Could you pleaaase clarify, I've been trying to get this right for days now 😩

@Braillionaire 3 жыл бұрын
Great vid bro, thanks! Was hoping you'd hit reverse verb as I haven't done that in forever and needed a reminder lol One thing though... On your first trick, there's actually a way to create delay throws that is more flexible and uses much less processing power. If you create an aux track and bus your main vocal into it, you can add any effects that you would have on the duplicated track. The advantage to this, is that because it's an aux track, you can automate how much of it and when it comes in...to any track! So you can go through and automate throws for any tracks in your song using the same aux track to do it. I switched to this method to save processing power from when I used to duplicate tons of tracks lol I have an aux for reverb, and an aux for delays and for special effects etc. Then it's not nearly as many things being processed all the time. Maybe you have a reason not to do it that way, but it's been super helpful for me, and helped me to get creative since it's more flexible. You could even print from the aux track, and then reverse those effects, giving you the ability to quickly make reverse tails from anywhere... I literally just thought of that. Lol going to go try that! Thanks for the vid bro! Subscribing!

@@masochistmonkey he’s not a mix engineer, he’s a producer. I did this forever too before realizing you can make a aux/send/bus/return rather than a new audio track. And even route sends from those to more. Always send my delays to my verbs and so on.

A much easier way is to put the delay on a Aux track, send the vocal to it and automate the send level. It also means all you have to do is draw in where you want them with the send level.

Great video mate 🏆 I have written so many songs around a quick sketch vocal, then high with the excitement if it all progressed to harmonizing with my singing (screaming). Then, next morning when playing my 'masterpiece' with my first cup of tea.... DAMN, what a mess! So, for me my tip would always be never to proceed until your lead is polished. If you can't do that then practice your singing like a Rocky montage until you have it down. 💪 Interesting video, tight sound mate, nice to soak in your positivity.
