[Tritonprince]

Hello Jat, I just happened to open your vid. I am a Cubase 6 user and have been with Cubase for many years. When I opened your vid. I expected the same old poor speaking brother sounding like the last poor ass speaking brother. I am impressed with your vids. You are doing a wonderful job man. I listen and viewed 1 and 2. good work. Oh by the way, I am a black brother too.

[tinktwiceman]

Hi JAT,

Awesome video!!!

I had been looking everywhere for an explanation of how to lay background vocals and once they are laid how to properly mix them.

I am a solo artist and I do my own studio work. I had tried laying my vocal multiple times to try to create harmonies, but I kept screwing up the timing.

my questions are:

1) Do you have any advice on how you got your singer to lay the multiple takes and stay in time with the original take?

2) Any advice on laying harmonies?

@mnash3 record it exactally how it was on the main vocals but with a slightly diff voice if possible.. the timing is off cuz ur doin it diff then the first layer u gotta get it down to where u can do it without it being off.. timing is never off cuz the studio if u record it all in the same session.. make sure u have OVERDUB on.. it plays the first track as u record the next layer.. thats juss a basic run down if u need more help message my account on here and ill help u further....

[mnash3]

@ONEdwreck1987 - Thanks for the feedback. I am in the process of writing lyrics and laying vocals for my upcoming album; so I will try to some of your recommendations. Thanks again. Mark

3:04 there's ur EQ, that explains the shit sound pretty darn good now....

[BongWaterMusic]

Hey Man... Noticed your tag says DM4800? I just got one, and have it working 90% with Logic, just cant seem to get Timecode going on the meter bridge...

I had it working, but it only registered when it was playing, not when it was off, or rewinding/fastfwd... when i tried to see if I coudl fix that... I lost the timecode display alltogether.. any ideas as to how i can get it back???

thanks in advance,

Rob

I noticed you have compression before EQ in the bus. What is the advantage of having it that way as opposed to EQ first and then compression? I'm a beginner to Logic and I notice that EQ by default is first. Also, if you had to use a de-esser, where would that go in the effects chain?

[rickysnewstuff]

dunno what kinda people you work with, but in my experience: one shitty background singer = 10 times the work, so from now on I only go with proper professionals

[NadjahSings]

My voice! :]

[TheCoolwhizkid]

Excellent

Your voice gets lost slightly, However material coverage is fantastic.

Thank You!!!!!!!

[DMSoundDesign]

Good tutorials!

But remember to put your voice louder when you are playing the music.

SImply, it's impossible to hear properly.

Thanks

[PeteWurthy]

You're an excellent teacher!

[motu828mk2]

[realeyezthatruthful]

im so glad to finally find a video to help me with vocals! if only i could find one for the equipment im using! lol good job though man excellent tutorials!!

[mostlyricalmc]

what do u do diffrent when mixing the lead vocal compared to the background vocals...does these same concepts apply to a rap artist and protools

[ProphetVictory]

@mostlyricalmc its completely different.

Background vocals generally have more done to them ie. panning, reverb, effects etc.

[basskeys129]
