her sound like Taylor Swift

[dilligaf1942]

your videos are great, thanks for the tips. the only problem i have with them is there's a lot of similar music in them all. i understand you won't have tracks for every genre though, as you're probably just using stuff you're working on at the time and you get a lot of similar work. would like to see some more harder rock/punk or dance music if you ever can though :D

[idreamtofflight]

@dilligaf1942 definitely agree! great videos nonetheless.

[cazcotty]

The best thing about all of your videos is that you make it so simple! I'm learning alot, Thanks!

[coolmaster269]

Thanks Graham, for the tutorial on how to pan the harmonies R/L and down the middle. I have always wnated to know how do the get that harmony effect. 

[offdaedge]

I love what you're doing and have learned a lot already. I would like to know how you would take on a track with maybe 5-part harmony?? would you just pan them all hard L/R?

[recordingrevolution]

@offdaedge Sure, maybe put some up the middle too.

[itoako61]

This is a great Song. .what song is this? is it out in the market?

[recordingrevolution]

@itoako61 The artist is Annie Lawrence and the song is "Find Rest"

[Ryaudio85]

What's the band name and song name of this example, I love the song!

[Elnufo]

i love it, its a very cool way to keep up the vibe of a track

[GodsMuscian]

can you take a look at some of my videos and give me some pointers on how to mix like you..... you have a great sound... please help... it would be very much appreciated thanks again!!

[SWATPhantom]

I have a question for you, this sounds amazing but can you make a similar effect in a live show on a live mixing console? cuz I don't think you can "copy/paste" a track of him because it's live

[medic192575]

@SWATPhantom You could send the vocals to a spare bus and pan the busses hard left/right in a live setting.

[SWATPhantom]

@medic192575 even if it's mono?

I don't quite understand because i watched your video "Instant double technique" and you first doubled the guitar and pan it and it sounded the same

[medic192575]

@SWATPhantom Yes, even in mono. His vocal tracks are in mono as well. What it sounds like he has done is shift one (or both) of the tracks in time to eliminate phase cancellation, which you would likely encounter in a live setting, unless you could put a delay on one of the busses.

[DaStyleRecordz]

in one of your videos you say to mix in mono and how can you pan things in mono ? makes no sense haha sorry if i'm understanding this wrong ^^

[recordingrevolution]

@DaStyleRecordz Yes, I mix for a good part in mono till I have my EQ, compression, and volume faders just right. Then of course you flip back to stereo to finish things out and finalize panning. Mono mixing is just a hack, a tool to help me mix better. Not the way I finish a mix.

[MrUnique27]

OMG...GRAHAM..you are the MAN. please tell me how I can reach on a more consistant basis? If I need Tips, where do I go for a quicker response from you?

[recordingrevolution]

@MrUnique27 If you post questions on the blog I, I check that more frequently than YouTube.

[PIANOisAMAZING99]

You are unfreakingbelievable...can't tell you how much you have helped me with production

[lopezh15]

sounds amazing bro!! did you record that in your studio?

[recordingrevolution]

@lopezh15 This track wasn't recorded by me, but it WAS recorded in a spare bedroom with a simple home studio setup :-)

[evilthiswaycomes]

Man. I have learned SOOOO much from your videos. PLEASE keep them coming. You are MY savior!!!

[daddykification]

God bless You and thats all I can say.All the songs u use r awesome

[nikar0]

Been great watching these video series! Learning alot!

I love the voices/harmony in that song, is there some place i can listen to the finished song?

Thanks!

[recordingrevolution]

@nikar0 It's an unreleased song. But the artist is Annie Lawrence and she's currently raising money to go into the studio for a new EP. Search her on Kickstarter . com

[cocunut200]

best video series ever

[LastDayStudios]

this is a wealth of Knowledge!! and another great trick

[brandonkeaton]

Graham! I'm so thankful for what you are doing, bro! God bless you! AND, this is planting seeds, I pray. Question: Where can we buy this song/album???

[infectedrummer36]

@brandonkeaton uuuummmm he's still in the mixing phase....... not quite done yet :p

[anointed01]

Great tip, as usual Graham. Thanks for this series of videos, they're very helpful.

[PhilForHire]

I agree with Scotty. Awesome series, and enjoying it muchly. But I can hear pitch shifting in some vocal takes, to an extent that makes it fairly noticeable, even within mix. In case you were wondering... 

[vlvb30]

Thanks again for the awesome tip!!!!!!! 

[ScottySniper93]

I love the series mate, but I can't help but noticing that the vocals always sound... unnatural. What mics do you use? Or have they been melodyne'd at all?

[AllysDad2008]

Man this series has been great. I have for a while had a basic idea of how to get around my DAW and understand the general concept of EQs, delays, reverbs, etc. but now I'm getting here some really easy, excellent, and most importantly practical uses for all those plugins and my stuff has never sounded better.
