[optimisum]

yo that detuned soothe trick is big brain af

[gianni]

Yes, not enough “on-off” comparisons to hear the difference. Thank you, though. Appreciate the tutorials, keep ‘em comin’,

This guy be spittin' some KNOWLEDGE! Man...I appreciate it. Thank you!

[tomtechno]

Some really useful tricks again, thank you very much. Just a quick note to your otherwise amazing presentation: I would prefer if you could do the comparison switch one or two times more often, so there is more time to focus on these sometimes subtle enhancements.

This is so brilliant in vocal mixing musically

[aktasluna]

Dude, this video came at the perfect time

The Soothe2 detune trick really cleaned up a vocal I am working on

[jabbaranks]

That soothe trick wasn't subtle at all. Sounded great when you put it on. Thanks!

[VEXUS]

for the first Trick you can also use Scaler EQ for this trick if you don't have the cash for Soothe 2

[jfilbert]

Always look forward to these next-=level techniques.

[khizrtrash]

the detune trick 🤯 have to try and see that

[nikolajdalsgaard]

Great tutorials, I wish you'ed adjust the before and after listening time to longer sections. This vocals first line tonally a lot more full bodied than the after coming line that sounds very thin in comparison. The difference is so big that it's hard to hear what actually is happening. I find the best before and afters are those where the exact same line is looped between before and afters. You will get all the newbees to hear the subtileties a lot easier. But still top notch tutorials though🙌 Thanks for all the goodies!

I love your videos and I want more vocal tutorials but also a in-depth sound design series I feel like you could teach me that better than anyone

[SoMyungJung]

Bless YT recommendation! Instantly subbed

I don't see why using a detuned sidechain for soothe would be any good.
As you showed, soothe reacts to the detuned frequencies and attenuates "resonances" in those areas, leaving the general vocal frequencies alone.
So it basically attenuates more in the high end because the frequency differences are small compared to the bandwidth applied by soothe.
Effectively this results in a duller tone which is audible in the video. Personally I would add a high-shelf afterwards to balance the tone out again.
Why apply that "trick" for then?

[steamerk]

On the first trick, it might be interesting to use a mix of +50 cents and -50 cents (minus 3 decibels each) for the side-chain input.

Or alternately, it could be interesting to subtract an auto-tuned version of the performance from the original and feed the delta into the side-chain. Maybe it'd be a smoother, less-jarring retuning?

Can you do the technique with soothe in fl studio pleasee

[LasCosasComoSean]

I thinl the MIDI instrument sidechain approach with out-of-song-key notes makes more sense to me. Going -1 or +1 it going to overlap some notes of the song scale, right? I'm genuinely asking, it is kind of a mind fock 🤣
PS. You content is AMAZING

[DJONTHETRACK]

Ive did the p comp trick isolating the highs but never the mids like that, gonna give it a try

[sawiblue]
