LMFAO @ 4:25 "When your listning to something you'l be able to tell if your vocal ah, i hope you can if you can't then idk you have some issues"

[Dozerbeatz]

@seanieboii804 Yeah, I say some random stuff sometimes

[seanieboii804]

@Dozerbeatz dude your funny lol thx for the tutorial though! :)

THNX SO MUCH!!! IM ARTIST/ PRODUCER/ ENGINEER(student) ... HAD A SESSION LAST NIGHT AND I COULDNT GET AUTOTUNE TO RECORD LIVE. (INPUT MONITORING) FEATURE IN PROTOOLS WASNT SELECTED!…THNX AGAIN.. IM DEF SUBBED!

[EFtM13]

Can that Maestro program find the key of various parts of a song if it changes key throughout the song (such as Insight into the Catharsis)?

[ArgentinianTraceur]

i find that whether or not you should record with the monitors being autotuned really depends on the situation. i also find that singing with autotune as im recording really makes the dry vocals really off and ugly. but it is true that you can't work it as well because you can't hear the autotune working as you sing. maybe next time you (and i) can try panning dry to one side and processed vocals to the other side.

[Dozerbeatz]

@ArgentinianTraceur Using autotune in realtime, yes the dry vocals will be off key...

[suicidecivic]

hey, im looking at a Creative/E-MU 0404 PCI Digital Recording Interface internal sound card...would that do the job for real time and autotune or do i need an external unit like yours...im thinking i should be able just to input a mic straight in right?

[Dozerbeatz]

@suicidecivic sorry for the ultra late reply, but yes, that would work.

"As Denzel says "Explain it to me like I'm a third grader". That is what I was doing. Explaining from every angle. To the more experienced, it may seem like Im "talking too much", but for the more inexperienced, its a very in depth tutorial."

I am addressing a multitude of email questions I get. Take what you can from it, if anything, leave the rest for those who can learn from the ideas and methods.

[channel8100]

whats a hook??

[Dozerbeatz]

@channel8100 The hook is also called the chorus, the part of the song that is repeated a couple of times between verses.

[JaydsTbalist]

WHATS THE PROGRAM CALLED

[Dozerbeatz]

@JaydsTbalist: Tells you the BPM, and sometimes the correct Key. Some songs have key changes. Cubase 5 for recording.

[Dozerbeatz]

Also note, you shouldn't actually record at such a low volume like shown in the videos, that was due to the gain staging being used to narrate the video.

[CiTyStudioz]

Do you really need to use auto tune, i just use the pitch correction thing cubase already gives you. My beat was in Gm like yours but i ended up having to put it in Cm glad you explained that to me I like that little chart thing you have. But i dont record my stuff with the pitch correction already on I'm going to start doing that now. but try that pitch correction and tell me if that works for ya dozerbeatz

[q8outlaws]

Dude great video and very clear! Good job.

[Dozerbeatz]

As Denzel says "Explain it to me like I'm a third grader". That is what I was doing. Explaining from every angle. Though to the more experienced, it may seem like overkill, for the more inexperienced, its a very in depth tutorial.

[capone1118]

[Dozerbeatz]

@capone1118 Mixed In Key

[julesryan12]

HOW DO YOU PUT THE AUTO ONE LIVE?

[Dozerbeatz]

@valach441 : Link to free tutorial in the info section of the video here on youtube

[shaboyozzy]

dozer how do i upload the vst into cubase???

[Dozerbeatz]

Devices Menu>Plugin Information... ensure that the folder too which you installed the plugin, is in the list of folder Cubase looks at too gather installed plugins

[shaboyozzy]

u tha man dude

[Dozerbeatz]

@shaboyozzy When installing the plugin, make sure the install path that you select is the path that Cubase is using to look for installed plugins, so Cubase can SEE the plugins. Set the path under Cubase Menu: Devices>Plugin Information>Click on button "VST 2.x Plugin Paths" and make sure your VST plugin folder is there in the list.

[DVittoreTV]

great vid..question..really need an answer lolz..should i master my instrumental then re-import that track into my software and record my vocals over it?..because right now i have my instrument tracks all set up and patterned...idk if i should just record my vocals in the project and master everything, or mixdown the instruments seperate

[Dozerbeatz]

Mix down your instrumental to Stereo(2-Track as they call it) Put in Track 1 of DAW....

Record vocals to the Instrumental mixdown...

When done, mute Track 1(Beat/Instrumental)

Then either rewire with your beat production program, to your program you recorded vocals too, or track out your instrumental tracks, and reimport those tracks into the DAW where you recorded your vocals. Then do your mixing. Once done mixing, mix down the full song. Then master the song.

[DVittoreTV]

thanx bro..lolz cool i was doin it right good look though

[VoyceMusic]

how could u do this with mixcraft?

[Dozerbeatz]

not sure, never used mixcraft....Im sure they have forums somewhere.. Register and ask current users...

[shaboyozzy]

dude dozermane i got pro tools, and there iz nothing in my manual about input monitoring with effects for autotune, plz help!!!!!!!!

[Dozerbeatz]

Im sure there is a way,,I will see if I can get a look at a protools manual...

[WeatherMondacicci]

will these methods work in Mixcraft and Reaper. I don't have Cubase.

Also I am hearing impaired, lol though I can hear enough with my hearing aids on to mix music and I am also in the learning stages.

[jungleboy6699]

There are people selling tutorials with not even a quarter of the information you are giving. You are a genius man, straight up. Yo everyone, for reals, if you want to up your recording mixing and mastering game, for sure order Dozer's DVD. Dont waste your time trying to figure it all out on your own.
