  • haha i landed on one i saw forever ago, ever since I never tracked my vocals or guitars too hot

  • I really do enjoy the way you describe pro tools you make it simple to understand. Thanks

  • so...when setting your compressor, it looks like you changed the threshold to 0db....does this mean that i need to record at a specific level or have my audio peaking at a certain level for that ratio to work?

  • gr8 tips, thanks

  • Hey man you sound really good. You should make more songs :)

  • good video. Thanks

  • quick question how do you import vocals onto pro tools from your mic??? im playing with all these in/outs in still not seeing a recording line on pro tools.

  • @Airtime456 u have to push ur input switch it says "mic/di" on the digi003 and make sure phantom power is on if u need it.

  • hey pro tools is not letting me bounce the song  its saying that the file size is too large for the file type to support. Can this be caused by to many plugins?

  • Just what i needed !

  • I LOVE YOU Lol.

  • FOCUS ! 

  • i'm so high right now! but nice vid :)

  • What difference does it make what color he is as long as he teaching your dumb ass smmfh really does it make a difference

  • Dude this video really helped thanks

  • What version of Protools are you using?

  • Lol.....am I the only 1 that think the captions are hilarious

  • Hey min1one, if you see this, I'd like to ask a quick question. (I'm a beginner that wants to learn more about Sound Design and you're tutorials have been extremely helpful) On the note of the topic that you bring up at nearly 2 minutes in.

    Aside from the risk of clipping audio, is there a reason to not record high and just bring the mix down later? Or does that somehow defeat the point?

  • @Korinkite mic1one* Sorry, typo.

  • yo i need sombodies help ASAP!? When i open a demo song or something else on pro tools, i press play, and i cant hear anything? like nothing at all. The only way i can hear it is b4 i actualy open the demo song and click audiopreview. The sound comes out my speakers that are hooked to my mac. Also i have no monitors or headphones connected at all atm

  • hey can pro tools run without hardware?

  • @djeyand152 yes

  • Which version of Pro Tools is this?

  • اتعلمت الكتير منك شكرا يا رائع

    

  • can u make a tutorial about" mixin rap vocals with waves plugins?? it would be so helpful! please :D

  • OK I would greatly appreciate your help. I just mixed my first verse with some compression and EQ. I stacked the tracks with a duplicate but slightly offset-ted it to make it a fuller sound. Absolutely happy with the first verse but now I can't for the life of me match the second verse to sound close to as good as the first verse. Can I copy the compression and EQ to the second verse or what do I do. Thank you so much for your help.

  • wow! your vocals are great. thanks for the PT hints.

  • ... i haven't understood a single thing in this video

  • Q10 is a parametric EQ no graphic

  • is alright that your compressors is in the red?

  • And does all those DeEssers and stuff you used on the lead vocal come with the software, or are they totally different things? Sorry for the stupid question=)

  • I think this isn't too good advice Because one there no set way Of doing things to make you sound Good and two it put hard working Recording/mixing/mastering engineers That have work there whole life to take technical difficulty out And make the artist look better you people did not go to college or understudy so what are you trying to Do
  • Nice Video my man, good explanation

  • Which protools do you use

    

  • What Waves Bundle do you have?

  • hahaha! Essing you to death.

  • exelent ..nice job

  • I HAVE THE DOWNLOAD LINK TO PRO TOOLS 9 FOR BOTH MAC AND PC. SEND ME A MESSAGE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IT

    

  • Parametric EQ my Bad!

  • I had no idea that I would be mixing anything because I have a Engineer who does it for me. When I started seeing the Plug-Ins on here I was like I have those. So today I followed your instruction from the API Compressor on down. I must admit my vocals are crispy clean. I been tripping for that last hour no lie. Looking at how 4 Plug Ins in this huge Wave Bundle made my sound so professional. You made a great point in regards to a Paranormal EQ than Graphical EQ! Keep It Up!

  • @johngreasy parametric. just for others clarification

  • Man when I first saw this as an artist I was like man I'll just keep paying to get my stuff mixed. As an independent artist you try to do as much as you can without going overboard. I recently bumped into a guy from Detroit who does big things out in California. So we met on line he told me he could help me with some Plug Ins. He sent me this Waves Bundle in the mail. I already record myself but mixing is monster. I approached like editing video in regards to how long it can take. Part 2>>

  • i understand all of this, but i am used to Logic, so it would be greatly apprciated n more helpful if you showed wher u are findin the compressor n everything on what plugin since there is like 300

  • Where are all thje videos on how to mix R&B vocal or POP vocals?

    like really mixing

    not just compressing and eq'ing

    im mean a full song mixed from beginning to end

    is there anything like that online?

    if you can help me i would appreciate it

  • nice tutorial, thanks.

  • im learning. it doesnt suck any more

  • oh so youre boyz II men?

  • fucking genius

  • does anyone know if i can use Cubase CI2 with Pro Tools?

  • hey man your videos are extremely helpful, i appreciate you taking the time to do this

    jamie simons

  • hey wats good iam having a big problem tryna install my pro tools se but my computers saying i atleasr need 1 gb ram but my computer does have it do you think ya got any info on that?

  • Comment removed

  • @TheDymondusic then you dont know how to use it.

  • @idaman112 can you teach me? :)

  • @TheDymondusic Just because you can't figure out how to work it does not make it suck. Just means its not for you

  • I TOTALLY would've never guessed that you sang that song from listening to ur voice on this video LOL!

  • HOW do i get New Plugins i have pro tools 7.3

  • he want to talk like it is so hard and he is good at it... but the mix sound really bad.

  • thats boys 2 men you damn idiot omg.

  • Please explain the use of the 2 mono reverbs on the lead vocal as opposed to any other approach. Thanks :)

  • Bet he's Asian.. Filipino

  • I'm getting ready to purchase Protools. I've used Adobe audition alittle bit in the past, how does the Protools interface differ from Audition?

  • a bros..i use the used the mix....but it only sounds good on the studio monitors, when i bounce and send it to covert and put on a cd as a mp3 it doesnt sound the same why is that!!!

  • @garry2tone thats because ur not mixing right. the first thing about mixing is how ur listening to it. play other songs through ur speakers and see how they sound. learn how ur speakers sound so u can mix ur music right on them. once u learn how ur speakers sound then you'll learn how to make ur mix sound good on any speaker. ur music will never sound the same on any speaker, but it can always sound good on any speaker if u mix it right. and learn proper engineering techniques.

  • r u black or white cuz u talk white but u sing like u black

  • @lovebedz haha real talk

  • @lovebedz what kind of ignorant shit is that? You don't talk like a race. Talk white but sing black. what a dumbass comment. He is what he is.

  • @MichaelXboxEvolved its my life and i been just askin so go 2 sleep if dis aint aint nothin 2 do wit u

  • @lovebedz ur ignorant.

  • @lovebedz He's singing a song that was made by Boys to Men.. Whom were black lol that's why he sounds black.

  • @lovebedz he's asian

  • @lovebedz Why would you ask if someone's black or white? Dumb question...

  • @GETsSOMEsPANCAKES lol actually I thinks its a pretty good and funny question xD, Because he sound white while talking, but when he sings he sounds black (Trust me its a compliment!)I lol Love his voice! (He's probably black though) =D

  • @lovebedz Yea cause only black and white people exist right?

  • @d123s404 omg shush

  • @lovebedz you fucking racist asshole! how the fuck does someone speak white??? huh??

  • ur a blessing

  • hey i was wondering, how can i put my vocals on a beat ive made? idk exactly how to explain what i m wondering

  • @americanidiotm4 first you need to get the beat into mp3 or wave format then open it with pro tools or cool edit pro. then record your vocals while the beat is playing

  • @PocketsGotBigMoney lmao bro im mad dumb. i figured it aout a few hours after i put the comment on but one last thing. how can i put the finished song from pro tools to youtube facebook or itunes i movie etc....

  • @americanidiotm4 when you save it on pro tools there should be a file type you can change under the name of the file , like change it to WAVE or MP3 and then juss upload it to soundcloud

  • HOW U PUT INSTTRUMENTALS IN PRO TOOLS

  • @Tizzy601 shift+command+i

  • Huge question man if you can please answer it ASAP... I just bought the Mbox 3 Mini and I see it uses USB 1.1 Do you know how the latency is on the Mbox 3 mini?? Because before I open the box, I'm thinking about returning it and getting the regular Mbox 3 becuase it has USB 2 which will reduce the chances of having latency. Thanx

  • Have you guys seen the Windows 7 equipped StudioBLADE from Music Computing. Its perfect for running Pro Tools!

  • why is protools da best software

  • @cashoutent1000 Well, it is the industry standard and almost every studio uses it, it's universal. (:

  • What exactly does protool do?

  • @81RichYung well, it does almost everything if we're talking about editing a song, vocals & stuff... you can´t really produce or create songs like in Garageband / Logic Studio / Live / Fl 9 or whatever you're thinking of... it just creates effects and allows you to edit the track you imported but it so pro that no matter how bad you sing, using this software you'll become famous...

  • Ok, I have one more question. Would I be able to use 2 software programs together and use them while editing. Cuz one software has orchestra sounds and I wanna use them as my background sound wit another software with drums and bass sounds.

  • Comment removed

  • i love the salt analogy!

  • I still don't understand EQ'ing.

  • @bigjay10 Let me know if you find good tutorials, Im in the same situation you are.

  • @bigjay10 when you are EQ'ing you are equalizing sound frequencies . say there is to much low end in a certain instrument you are recording , well you are cutting out those low freq's .same for mid and high freq's . Now you must do this to prevent something that is supposed to be a high or mid freq (hats,vocals,etc)cutting into the low sound field taking up space for something that is supposed to be a low freq (bass,kick,etc) and on those you would cut high freq's or whtever the instrmnt calls 4

  • Great video, great explaination method!!

  • hey man i work in a radio station but the dont teach me anything...

    can you help me how to make a really really nice strong voice? thanh you very much and thank again for your tutorials

  • P.S Thanks for showing us what it sounded like before the processing too. Great rendition.

  • Thank you so much.

  • This is a great tutorial. Thanks

  • What Pro Tools Is That?

  • love the salt metaphore :D

  • Hey there,

    thank you very much for the video. I really have to ask though..

    would you know what pro studios do to make r&b vocals, fore and background

    sound so smooth?

    I recently heard a youtube upload of a Neyo recording and was blown away.

    The video was titled: Ne-Yo - Sexy Love (acapella)

    Is that type of quality even possible on a PC? With Software only?

    sorry for my "wordiness"

  • @GwenDUff yes u can. autotune, a nice eq, reverb and delay were used in that acapella, but is the strong autotune that makes the diference, along with the choir

  • @GwenDUff A lot of R&B/Pop records are mixed in the digital domain. There is practically no discernible difference between me mixing in ProTools vs an Analog board. It all comes down to the skill of the mixer and their ears.

    All you need today is a MacBook Pro, good monitors and you are ready to mix a record bro.

  • @GwenDUff YES, YOU CAN GET TAT EXACT SAME SOUND.. JUST COST TONS OF MONEY IN SOFTWARE.. BUT PRO-TOOLS HAS ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE IT SOUND PERFECT ALREADY PRE INSTALLED.. SO GET PRO-TOOLS WATCH THESE LITTLE VIDEOS AND LEARN HOW TO MAKE IT SOUND GREAT..

  • @2R34L TONS OF MONEY IN PLUG-INS I MENT

  • m-music.co.nr

  • I really like how you explainn things, you make it easy to understand, I wish I knew your website hope I can find more of yer videos

  • Is API in ProTools 8

  • @LilAliciaCook The API plugin he's using is made by Waves. I don't think any Waves plugins come bundled with ProTools, however, you could get access to a 14 day trial of Waves plugins which should be good for you to mess around with.

  • @ZuluDaGuerrilla i'll sell u the complete waves bundle for 400 bucks. holla at me. i got logic, final cut, adobe master collection cs4, etc. ALL IS FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!

  • thanx in advance

  • do u have a video that tells how to duplicate or copy hooks and choruses throughout a song??

  • @Rush814704 right click color of track than duplicate

  • By the way,, nice singing! lol. I don't sing, but I know it's hard to do acapellas with multiple dubs... You're a good teacher, You explained everything good. I'm a rapper and I'm going to buy either Logic or Pro Tools (mainly ONLY for vocal recording purposes). I liked pro tools at first, but I'm hearing Logic is good. Would you say Pro Tools is the way to go?? and I'm probably gonna get a PC, not a Mac 'cuz i'm soo used to it. Also, do you get a lot of Latency and delays??

  • @detroitMC313 pro tolls for vocals logic for creating...pro tools is sick for vocals..the user interface i think has been perfectly designed for vocals honestly

  • @nyakzn18 thanx a lot... yeah Ima probably buy pro tools this week. How do you buy plug-ins??? what kind of plug ins do you have?? Like is there a certain name for the bundle/package

  • Hey... the compressor you have on you're lead... did you set up the settings (Ratio, Threshold.. so on) yourself, or did you just use a pre-set that it comes with??? 

  • this video was very informative and easy to understand, thank you!

  • aaron2054 Thanks and im sorry for anyone if i made a comment that made you feel bad..! Thanks people..

  • does anybody know what would cause my mic to pick up really low when i record? and how i would be able to fix it...im new to this so im trying to get everything hooked up rite and sounding rite

  • @Rush814704 ..go in ur computer n turn up the mic

  • @Rush814704 maybe ur input levels on ur interface

  • ThankYou!

    

  • hey man nice video!!! i have a question how did you get the sound to come out off ur SCREENCAST software from pro tools, being as sound come out of the mbox,003, ect.and not the computer it self??

  • could u do a tut. on how to use the deEsser and how to use the compressor?

  • how can i get this program for free?

  • @120508673 You don't. Pro Tools uses its hardware as a copy-protection. It'll lock when the interface isn't plugged in

  • @120508673 It's a shame to see all these people constantly begging for free free FREEEEEE!!

    Not only is it impossible to run Pro Tools without the official hardware, but I have developed a greater respect for the program as well as the plugins that I buy since I actually bought them.

    A lot of people work hard to afford this kind of software and hardware, and it isn't right for someone else to get it without earning it.

    /rant

  • @120508673 you can't get this program for free...there are ways but its not a good idea ! You will need what is called an mbox...its not just a stand along program...you need something hooked into your computer to run it

  • where can i get this program free>

  • i have no damn idea what im doing when it comes to mixing so thanks for these vids seems like i can at least learn some basics...peace.

  • @DoctorSess im selling sonar 8 producer $99 if your interested message me its easier to use and it has killer effects

  • dope!

  • best video tutorial on pro tools out there!;)

  • U are a smart man...keep making videos dude.

  • NOOB ALERT_ you EQ after compression?

  • @ElPopularVale There's no rule...you will find a lot of "big guys" going that way. Just do what you you like as long as it works,really:). The most important thing to realize is that there is no "go to" presets because it all depends on the actual source, genre, taste...Compressor threshold which is set to -10db (recomended at many forums) will do nothing for your track if your peaks are at -12db...Sometimes ppl don't realize such basic things.

  • thanks, this is so great....now i know what I did wrong with my vocals mixing in the couple of day...thanks for sharing....

  • This is really a great video. I plan to purchase a Mac Computer and I wasn't sure if to get Logic or Protools, but this video helps me consider Protools a bit more seriously. I know Protools is a bit more complicated and maybe a bit more costly, because there are so many packages and levels, but this video helps clear the air. Thanks for the video.

  • i ordered PT, and i'm sure to sub. and follow your tips, thanks

  • I see on your mix track window. that the volume is barely going up the the yellow color. When I record that low and play it after I bounce it the volume is really low. How do I get the volume higher without distortion?

  • @FlowDeBarrio2004 That's a good question indeed:) Well, with todays 24 bit recordings, you should really track and mix at reasonably low volumes - there's nothing wrong in it! Going that way way will have a nice headroom and let your plug-ins work in their most effective range. I would stay at -6db (peaks) or even -12db for the final mix and then increase the volume at the MASTERING phase by using some nice limiter (ie. waves L2). So limiting is the answer.

  • i just got pro tools, its ALOT more complicated than i thought haha

  • I am trying to record vocal (lead, background, etc.) but everytime I go to record either the music will start then stop or the mic will stop being picked up. What am I doing wrong. I've tried changing the H/W Buffer size but that doesn't seem to help

  • @teekaboosings Check if the DAW is recording with the drivers from your interface.

  • PLEASE HELP I am trying to hook up my yamaha p90 keyboard via midi & pro tools isn't picking it up for some reason. It works with Sony Acid and Reason 3.0 but not w/ pro tools essentials. I am thinking Pro Tools only allows there m-powered keyboards to work but I think that will be very stupid since many people have better keyboards they wanna use so I hope that isn't the case and that its just a simple fix. Please help me!

  • @jared0379 you can use any midi board i have a triton sync to mine

  • HAY BROTHER THANKS HELPED A LOT JUST A QUESTION THO'' HOW ARE YOU PE-RECODING ARE YOU USING A REAMP OR ENY PLUGINS WHEN YOU RECORD IN TO A TRACK THANKS

  • great job on that

  • cud u release that trak plz hehe

  • I like

  • i love the video. maybe we can work together and do a video? maybe over skype or something.

  • thanks for posting this guy. I've learned a lot. Still trying to figure out somethings but I'm posting some of the stuff I've mixed. Check out my channel and tell me what you think, how I can improve or just discuss mixing techniques. thanks!

  • Anyone know how you can loop a vocal chorus - so you don't have to record it over and over again? :(

  • @JonathanGardnerTV I'm not entirely sure if you properly know what a loop is..

    If you're talking about the harmonies, than you really should record it over and over again because when artificially done it messes the track up and sounds ridiculous. And double tracking gives it a much fuller sound.

  • @lyndsayiu5 Yes I do know what a loop is. What I mean is, if you record the backing vocals for a chorus (double-tracked and whatever) and you have say 3 choruses in the song, you won't want to do a seperate batch of recordings for EACH chorus!! And so you will want to REPEAT it/loop it almost (as you would a drum loop say in FL Studio) so that you don't have to record the chorus three times -________-

  • @JonathanGardnerTV Great. I was just making sure. I've seen some dumb comments on youtube :P.

    Pretty simple really. Just copy the tracks. I assume you're using a DAW like Pro Tools or Cubase etc. If the chorus isn't on it's own track. Just cut it so it's on it's own part then copy the parts you need and move them to where you want it.

  • @lyndsayiu5 Lol thanks sorry if my reply seemed a bit rude :P I am currently using Adobe Audition to record and mix (and FL Studio to produce). Thanks though :)

  • @JonathanGardnerTV No problem.
