Crispy clean vocals for fruityloops

[PrototypeMusic002]

Thanks so much, should help our sound quality alot man!

[YB707Music]

THIS VIDEO HELPED!^^

[chelle315]

This method is a good standard for recording? I'm learning, so I'll take all the advice I can get. Thanks for the tut.

[Mercedyzzkay]

da sound is fucked but wat the dude is saying was very helpful..one question will the pitcher effect still work after you've added alll those fx?

[TerribleFan]

Nice tut man. If you have a powerful enough computer (sound processing), a high-quality digital mic (preferably not analog), and mastering/eq skills then a USB Interface isn't entirely needed for good quality. It sure helps though. My only problem is cpu underruns from too many 3rd party VST's.. Good luck on the beatmakin'!

[stupidbroz132]

TEN , TEN , TEN. LMFAO. Talks funny as hell

[KendrickHarper]

can someone tell me wat's a MAUDIO INTERFACE?

[chelle315]

@KendrickHarper The interface is a way to input all your instruments and vocals. I use the Audiogram 6.

[billymoore95]

thats sweet keep making raps u might have a future

[GhettoDoughBoy]

Thank u i cant wait to get out of work n try this.

[DABOYSMITTY513]

did exactly what u said but im having some trouble with something .... i recorded my vocals to a beat and they are in the mixer as insert 2... everytime i try to play the song i have to have insert 2 selected cus if i put it on anything else it doesnt play. and then when i try to export it as mp3 nothing plays when the file is complete....im getting mad lol...if u or anyone have any idea on how i can fix this plz let me know lol

[Selfmade345]

@DABOYSMITTY513 Yo was insert 2 routed to the master channel when you recorded? Make sure the little arrow is highlighted on the master before you record. Click or select insert 2, then go to master channel and JUST click the small Half ass arrow above the Floppy Icon at the bottom. You might have to re-record the vocals tho. Let me know bro...

[MCTGangsta]

BUT I LIKE THE CRISP D:

oh wait, it's not about fries? o.o

[OwenFTW]

give you a little swag in your vocal ;)

[bigstout915]

hey bro i did it all like you showed but i cant get the auditorium sound off

[JustinPatrickRecord]

thanks for taking the time to show us this, fuckin nice

[ksgillz]

love your song "i hope she love me " can i get the instrumental for that song plz

[OfficialLevellmusic]

Also i used to always use reveerb 2 thanks bro you really helped me out ima let you hear my songs when i come out with it today or tommorow

[OfficialLevellmusic]

Im working on my mixtape and you really helped me out with my Vocals, Thanks a million bro im subscribeing!

[bunk11911]

Yo man I'm just paying homage..thanks for the tutorials..I been struggling with my vocals for two months once again thanks homie

[CrankCase08]

Funny that this is about how to record good vocals, yet the audio level for this clip is really low!

[i55music]

@CrankCase08 UMM! I DID THIS THROUGH CAMSTUDIO NOT FRUITYLOOPS!!!

[CrankCase08]

@i55music Then it would have been a good idea to check the audio level, and to raise it to around 0dB if it was too low before final processing of the video. I wonder if Camstudio's audio levels are ultra-cautious.

[i55music]

@CrankCase08 Well this video is old actually i dont remember how i even hooked it up. But turn the volume way up fam.

[StyleEngineers]

HE SAID TRANCE? OMG SUBSCRIBING!! :D

[i55music]

Haha Lamon is funny! Shiiiiiiiiittt!

[Selfmade345]

@i55music Yo can I use Parametric EQ 2 instead? Thx fam this helped me out alot! Oh and do you have a tutorial on Mixing and Mastering? I like how you explain each detail...

[MOOKIEMUZIC]

Yea i know what you mean, and im down with what you said, Just thought id share another alrernative. Also, my mixer does have a preamp. Its just since im 15, and music is just a hobby, I try and learn everything i can to compete with these other people. No disrespect either man. I give you props for this vid.

[TLil21]

This best fits my rap vocals so your dead on about what your doing, thanx!

[MOOKIEMUZIC]

Stop misleading people. Thats what fits your vocals best. Not a rule of thumb for every person. Also, normalize does not "Fatten" up the vocals, it pushes the volume to the max possible without peaking, and your vocals should have "air". Having a USB interface also isn't a MUST, I record with my mixer directly to the soundcard, and it sounds good. Maybe you just need to upgrade your soundcard, instead of misleading people into buying something that is not a MUST.

[Dlazybeatbox]

@MOOKIEMUZIC i agree with the misleading part, but you got a good soundcard and your mixer probably got a build in preamp. so it that isnt realy directly imo

[gunfart]

thanks a lot dude

[MrWathefcuk]

god bless this hook up...jus took me from dead vocals to crisp in 5 min...

[teeracullaz]

but i got the noise more hearable?

[Utubesuxmycock]

[CreationsAmz]

wat type of interface??

[christheman808]

10! 10! 10! lol



[LOUDAWGPRODUCTIONS]

thumbs up for T.I.'s first tutorial Vid :D check out my vids too

[togetogether]

Your video is extremely quiet.

[NightFMowhawk]

Nice vid yo, exept i just gotta try it, lol. I gotta get me a condenser mic & interface like u sed.

[ccmicoman]

Hey i Have A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION PLEASE RESPOND !!!!!!!!!!

ok so i bought a usb condenser microphone for my prjects and wen i record vocals is their a way to set it up so that when you click record it doesnt playback your voice while your recording it but you can still hear the beat?! please respond because i try record it works fine but theirs a slight delay and it throws me off the tempo when recording guitar and singing PLEASE RESPOND!!!1

[NewZoneRecords]

i do appreciate the information but i have to disagree with you in sum things... first Reverb should always be used on everything, in moderation, because reverb is what makes a sound Sound as if it where in a real place like a room, outside etc.second echo is a gud effect but overdoing it can really damage a mix and third recording vocals should always be done in mono because when you record into a microphone you record into one mic not two professional studios will record your vocals in mono

[beanyJC]

lmao its not MISC its miscellaneous

[beanyJC]

reminds me of TI, not the rapping of course but the voice

[djsnw]

yo high bro? ha chill guy, nice tutorial by the way man!

[Uzi093]

K so i tried it and it dosent let me get the exact numbers well that mess up anything..and i get a echo ???

[Uzi093]

Damn man thanks for thissss :D cuz im trying to make a cd and all that and with this hopefully it makes me sound a lil more pro cuz i am doing hiphop thanks

[EduardoGamboa123]

bubba!!

[kawasakikid800]

how do you record without the background music reocrding as well anyone???

[DJNetherworld]

@kawasakikid800 You can use headphones or record using a separate program (and a metronome) then import the vocal track to FL Studio. Alternatively, you could just mute all the tracks or turn your volume off.

[kawasakikid800]

@DJNetherworld thanks for help but dw i figured it out

[ramonverhulst]

Know what I'm saying? YO!

[esbent74]

u from chicago huh.or some where in da midwest?

[i55music]

camstudio and fruityloops is two different things ppl, just yurn your volume up all the way please and enjoy the tutorial. The low sound quality is due to camstudio and not fruityloops

[Lagmon]

hahaha you should of practiced what you preach and cleaned the vocals on this vid. it sounds like sssssssshit. if ya gonna make a vid about clean sound at least have clean sound... it robs credability from what you say. like how am i going to take this mofo serious when the vid sounds like ssssssshit. big ups for the tut though.

[aQ5oFt]

AFÖLKSDJF ur makin' a tutorial about vocals and sound and the audio level is this low? how do you manage to do this ;____;

[mylongbong]

great tutorial!

[TheKroMusic]

The EQ dosent make your Vocals from Mono to Stereo.

[Elnufo]

achieving Stereo sound by using EQ??? LOOL 7 minutes of my lifetime wasted for nothing.

[youknowmalldidit]

Thanks for the help bro, Ima try out these strategies and see what outcome I get! I was laughing my a** off at @6:22!!!! "390, 1609, 11001, 16000, 10, 10, 10!!!"

[buffyguy10]

i know how to record my vocals now...and i have a yamaha keyboard hooked to it too..i can hear both my mic and my keyboard live, the problem is how do i RECORD BOTH MY VOICE AND MY PIANO at the SAME TIME....thanx

[amazinero]

@buffyguy10 . Hey. I'ma just jump in to try and answer your question. To record your voice AND your yamaha at the same time, you just record them both at the same time. Simple. Unfortunately, with FL, they'll both be on the same mixer track and you won't be able to tweak them seperately. My best advice is to record them on two different mixer tracks and then tweak them seperately for the best effects and quality for each. To keep time in sync, just use the metronome. Try it out.

[RapidTraxx]

did i just hear NOT to use reverb? and that the EQ gives u a Stereo sound???? LOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!! This video made my day!

[AAM88Musictv]

Sound like Ice tea

[umd3vyn]

Dat nigga country as fuck . Much love kinfolk . . 850

[MrKoolkiddTV]

good try bro lol better luck nect time tho.

[Dridium]

teen... teen... teen.

maha great job dude

[51HOOD]

smfh

[shing02]

teeeen,teeeen,teeeeen hahaha luv the west coast accent well u sound like u from there

[BallyhooProductionz]

Let me explain. Don't normalize, use gain to boost volume. There are only so many bits in a recording and they all have to be shared by the recording, mixing, and mastering processes. Reverb SHOULD def be used, but on a mix bus. Each song should be placed in a "room" (reverb). The approach is picture a band on a stage. Use reverb, channel vol, and panning to place each instrument on the stage. When you normalize and then eq, add vol or anything else, you will get distortion.

[i55music]

@BallyhooProductionz Well we are talking about fruityloops my friends , not your state of the art studio.

I came up with a remedy that can clean vocals with the vsts fruityloops provide, strictly fruityloops stuff. And yes you can clear all air without robbing the mix.

[RapidTraxx]

@i55music fl studio is a state of the art studio, u just gotta know who to use it. I get a sound out of it, that ppl think I did in protools HD. But I tell em I did it in FL, but no one believes me. :)

[BallyhooProductionz]

Hey, Bro. My name is Siyfa'Allah-El here at Stillwaters Media Lab. I haven't tried your recommendations and I will, but your explanations inspired me to tell you it might be a good idea if you did more research concerning the technology of audio recording. For example, EQ has nothing to do with stereo vs mono. The air you described is actually called headroom, which if you kill all of it you rob the mix and the mastering engineers of bits required for polished masters. Look into it Bro.

[alleyezonmeagb]

@BallyhooProductionz shut up BRO

[jayave719]

is this all before or after u record?

[danksyy]

this made my vocals sounds like shit quality to hell good quality. fucking dope

cheers, sucks i dont have good speakers on the computer. i could barely hear you.

[corderial]

preciate cha Ice Cube

[ThaManiacalOne]

i didnt know Ice Cube taught you how to mix vocals?

LMFAO

[i55music]

@ThaManiacalOne lol do really sound like ice cube oh hell no loll

[youknowmalldidit]

@ThaManiacalOne LMAO!!!! ICE CUBE!!! AHAHAHAHAhAh!!

[KEEZY100]

@ThaManiacalOne lol hell naw

[TheRealAstonMartin]

@ThaManiacalOne he sounds more like Ice T

[luis123456789276]

@ThaManiacalOne ya he sound just like him

[i55music]

@ThaManiacalOne haha good one!

[artistspecialist]

This vid helped. it was that normalize & dc offset that i never knew about. Thanks bro

[MegaJozhua]

yo nice video i have a ? how u get each track to different chanels in the mixer

[knockout1981pro]

@MegaJozhua easy, in the right hand top corner is a greyed box in the whateva you have the track on in FL studio, lol. Just left click and hold, and scroll up and select the number of the the track you want appear in the number track on the mixer. For instance, if u select number 7 in the top right hand corner of the track, it will be insert 7 in the mixer, Peace

[therealneon]

The volume to this video is so low -____-

[supream1987]

thanks mate .

[CastleRecordz]

How do you send things to the send channel?

[Meltimedia2009]

Thanks man, great tutorial! But one question, your recording for this video, does it have some of the effects for the better voice?

[melod100]

Fuck da haters!!!..I work wit diferent kinds of mics!!..this is very effective for artist or producers on a budget. I cleaned up alot of vocals with this method. Thnks for sharing this technique!!!

[dylanwarrenhouse]

professional sound. with vocals its all about compression. and reverb is ussually a must

[CardeyaTV]

Im sorry my dude, but you cant POSSIBLY eq, compress, and process vocals like this all the time... What if you have a ballad, r & b song, and acoustic cover or any thing of that nature. Please teach people the right way to do vocals man. This may be your way, and thats all good, but your handy capping the people that look on youtube for real answers. What if you had Mary J Blige in your studio, would you do her vocals like this! If any one want the real deal on vocals send me a message...

[SasaYamaoka]

your voice and talking style is so funny ... you understand ... XD

cool video !!!

[Johnlee137]

Haha I like how he says ten

[CarlitosWayz12]

Bruv, i just want to say THANK YOU!! I Used your setting and shizz.... Mate some good quality ass vocals when recording compared to others.... (IN MY ROOM TOO) lool xD

Too many presets strain the quality like i find out but bruv u helped me out haha

Check out our tik tok cover!! (it wouldnt of sounded like this, thnx to u)

Once again mayn! thnx alot =) bless up!

[mpproductionz]

u can have reeverb in your vocal but just make shure you DONT overuse it

nice video bro

[ecfnwguy]

thanks bro i subscribed

[chickencombo3]

"and you have your sound card in the back of your hard drive.... " yupp... thats about where i stopped listening...

[CardeyaTV]

@chickencombo3 AGREED lol. He doesnt even have the correct FX Chain

[knockout1981pro]

@chickencombo3 lol its was a explanation mistake dude, I hope. lmao!

[Keenanville09]

dam bro, this is DEF not the best way to mix vocals in fl studio. WOW, did u realy say NEVER use reverbs??? wtf, reverbs, especially for singers can really help the quality of sound. i tried to mix my vocals like u and they came out wack as hell. thanks 4 nothin.

[i55music]

@Keenanville09 well i guess you never heard any of my music then! Ive been using fruityloops for a decade now.You can use whatever you want in your mix, I was giving my expertise in my style, and believe me you did not use my method, believe me you wouldve gave me props.if you would like to hear some of my work then shoot me your email ill send it to you.

[BandWProductonZ]

@i55music

[BandWProductonZ]

@i55music

I would like to hear some of the songs you made with fl studio

[daquintez]

great tutorial however....point blank tho, i HAVE a Delta 44 AND a stock Creative SB onboard and record through it(C-SB) frequently without any of the issues you claim people WILL have without an interface. You're correct in suggesting folks get a REAL interface, but the level of neccessity you lay upon that is bit exaggerated. Recording w/onboard sound shouldn't be a prob as long as the computer is up to par performance wise. Good vid tho

[Hilallamaa]

Thanks man!! It sounds great!! Your the man!

[baysick]

this worked pretty good man thanks even though i dont got a interface...

[RoyalHighClub]

I've used this video to make some real nice sounding music... but I have a problem. How do I export the songs... Seems like every recording that had those effects placed on them does not show up in the final song when you export it. Someone please Help...

[i55music]

@RoyalHighClub I would run everything through Edison! You would have no problems.Edison is like the final copy tool.

[angellusdark]

@i55music hey i could record my voice in other program then i master that in fl studio with edison in fl studio ? i can do that right?

[THEAMAZINGVIDEO]

hi do yall think that you can get a good quality vocal with fl studio???? or do you think its better on cool edit? i been experimenting and i think fl studio is better but i cant find out how to put good effects like you can on cool edit.

[ballsdeep69420]

hey man maybe you can help me, i use edison and when i try to record MONO it just goes back to sterio when i hit play. do you know why?

[AreWeFamousNow]

like for a chorus effect, not the cheap one they have.

[AreWeFamousNow]

how do layer vocals?

[tyrannosurusrex]

hey, your vocals are a lil low on this video though! ha ha but hey what do you think is a decent sort of economically priced mic?

know any cool VST plug ins?

I have used addictive drums, homboyz, some freeware ect...

thx

[THEAMAZINGVIDEO]

@tyrannosurusrex samson co1u:)

[dailyboom1211]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! i was anti fl studio til i finally caved (im a reason purist but 1. you cant record vocals and 2. sonar is a complete resource hog) plus i always had a problem with cleaning up my vocals. you just saved me all the guess work. TY.

[TheoO18]

u should've shown how ur vocal sounds

[weskilgoremedia]

great vid man, its nice to see some pros using the fruity loops.

[mafia03G3]

hello i need ur help man

i have m-audio interface fast track and i mxl 2001 when i record i hear my voice play back and also the mic is picking up the room noisy and it sounds horrible so i dnt know if its from the interface or the laptop (vista ) or the mic

so help me out bro

thanks

[knockout1981pro]

@mafia03G3 windscreen and pop filter should help a bit. i have a mxl usb condenser mic .006 and have no problems, but mixing my vocals. I know this man personally, infact he's a brother and he really helped me just on how to record vocals I didn't even know how to do that.

[belablack]

you need to work on your sound, you can't even hear it in this video !

[FrostwaveMusic]

Really nice tutorial here, man. It helped me a lot. =)

[Seenesoust]

Sick, thanks! :)

[steviesmoovV]

thnx much needed advice if drake sign me ima remember you lol

[LimitedSickness]

nah im not actually im using a sennheiser e835 its good,,i no how much can i buy a decent audio interface for.?

[i55music]

for like 80$

[theDUDE13194]

I have fl 9 fruity addition can i upgrade to producer package without paying all that money

[LimitedSickness]

its a nasty noise wich kills the whole beat when i start rapping its when u normalize it,,i have it connected in the front where the microphone symbol shows

[i55music]

Are u using a audio interface for your mic.And what type of mic are you using.

[LimitedSickness]

ey man i tried it,it is good the only thing i dont like is when u rap or somethin and normalize it,because it makes a weird loud noise is there a way to delete it

[i55music]

What kind of noise!If you have a mic in the back of your soundcard that will be the problem.Get you a usb audio interface.

[Johnson1281]

Great video man....try to get the volume up on ur mic though....we can barely hear ya. Thanks though ....keep'em coming

[i55music]

yea i was actually testin these videos with camstasia

[Kissme0405]

I would just like to say thank you for what you did. Not too many peopl would be kind enough to break this down. Thank you for all your help! God bless you!

[SoyEzra]

thanks for the info

[aka1darkknight]

this vid is tight! i appreciate it! what do you mean "in the back of the sound card?" plugged into the back of the computer? is it possible to fashion a make-shift p-board AND use "dc offset?" fl studio is beastin' every day! so much i don't understand though. I appreciate this advice. Did you work those #'s to your liking or just kinda mess with 'em? Thanks again. Could I use FL for recording songs on my vids?

[aka1darkknight]

autotune? btw did you torrent this i55? lol i'll watch this later, too long right now.
