Muchos Gracias Amigo!im def gonna try playin wit my eq more! i guess my next section of my everlasting quest for great mixes goes into "Spread"!since we're on vox, when it comes to background vox how do i get a spread like yours!i tend to listen to records you and other mixers i respect mixed and the spead is so wide but full!im not into the pan every note hard left and hard right!i tend to do it (
ReplyDeletepro tools) hi note-90LR ,mid note-70LR and low note-50LR as an example!and i use a different verb and delay on the backs then i on a Main vox!but when i have stacks of a word along with stacks of a counter melody or adlib,i sometimes cant get the seperation you guys give!is there any advice you can give on that!if your unsure of what im sayin let me know and ill pick a record for you and tell u the parts im speaking on!Thanx again my guy!!!
Man this has no relevance to this post but I'm curious I was in class mixing and we were going over side chains and key inputs and I was wondering if you ever use Key Inputs when mixing any of B.Cox's tracks and what is your email because I plan to intern for you when I graduate from school
ReplyDeleteanother question sam!not about mixing!starting off how much should i charge to be a producers personal engineer who has a publishing deal or alot of placements?
ReplyDeleteHi Sam,
ReplyDeleteI had a question about recording vocals and getting a consistent level. At the moment I'm working with a singer and when doing leads, he tends to come in quite strong on the first few words of the line and then soften out with the rest of the line - leaving the first word or so sounding very emphasised and then "hollowing" out as the line completes.
Is this something to be corrected "in the box" or do with his microphone technique? He's a very good singer technically but I'm having a bit of a hard time recording him and getting clean, consistent levels. I'm compressing the vocals as per usual but I don't know if compression is the right thing to use in this situation. Do you get this kind of thing when recording professional singers too?
Were using a Rode NT2000 mic and an M-Audio Profire 610 interface in Logic 8.
Cheers,
Ben
hey Ben....
ReplyDeleteit def has alot to do with the Singer and his/her ability to work the mic, and not just blast into it ....
i dont think that its a compression issue either... really you just need a descent level and a good singer that can cut and move..... if that doesnt work then YOU step in and coach them along.... if your recording SOUNDS good but doesnt SOUND good then you may have to check your talent... in the most positive encouraging way possible, but dont be afraid to speak your mind to the artist and producer, bcuz the engineer is the one making them sound good so they should all listen up... and they will bcuz they see that your really making something out of nothing......
