Shawn, I had no idea who you were when I first clicked on this series. Been recording in my home studio for decades (older rocker 🤘🏻) and a self proclaimed all things Toontrack fan man. Gotta say that I was able to extract a copious amount of tips, tricks and just time saving goodness. Your presentation demeanor and chill cadence are pleasing to the ears and eyes. Thanks for your passion and knowledge passed on to us out here grinding away in the obsession. ROCK ON BROTHA!👊🏻🤘🏻 New sub.

MAN! That’s a helluva wrap up to the METAL Month series. Every one of your videos is really twice as long as the run time because you pack so much immediately usable information. Other tutorials will meander through “what does this slider do?” exploration, which can be fine, but yours are straight to what works for your song. I can take that and experiment on my own and you don’t distract me with every possible option. Absolutely stellar series, Shawn!

I have watched this series all the way through quite a few times and parts of it I've watched many times. but I never really got what you did at the end where you're doing the broad strokes. I had no idea ez mix was this powerful. I get now what all the packs are for. toon track should be paying you big money because you just sold me on ez mix 3.

Hey thanks for enlightening me. I have my drum track down, just tweeking now. I want a section in it where I just want singing and almost a pause with drums, then continue as usual after this bit, which may sound odd. Not sure. It is pre chorus section, just the first line to pause on. Any thoughts?

I wouldn't classify it as anything unless it's an entire section. If I was working with someone else, I may refer to it for reference as a break, or breakdown. No rules on this, Colleen.

@ShootieSchool
Жыл бұрын
I start at 115 for metal and hard rock for velocity. More dynamic music I would start lower. It's a really subjective question. Best settings don't exist. Different song require different sounds. If everything you do is too bright, simply EQ it. Or consider that your headphones or speakers are what is bright. Thank you for saying!

Hi Shaun or is it Shawn?.....anyways tis me again......have finish mixing the first song of a new project and I'm just wondering whether you could cast an ear over if I was to private message you and send over a MP3 version, not to tell me what you'd do it, as your right in saying that mixing is subjective....just to give a few pointers to maybe improve it??.....this would help in my learning the craft of mixing. I like space and depth to my songs (By the way, Grid Editor is superb!!!!)......so could I send over, don't worry if not, it's just an idea.

It's really a subjective ask. Unless she has a super deep voice, you can usually cut 100Hz and lower out. I believe the Vocal Tool box has a few Female Presets, though I typically don't judge the presets by their name.
