Really love that De-easer tip. squash it until the S sound is totally gone, and then dial it back until it sounds tamed but still natural.

Btw Joe, you have a great voice!!

Best teacher I have found on YT regarding mixing. He sticks to the meat and taters, explains in a very simple way. Love this channel

[johnbrusseau]

A perfect teacher. CLarity without the distractions of unneeded information. Vocal mixing was an inscutable mystery to me until this video. Now I can see clearly. The rain is gone.

Joe is in my brain! Always coming in clutch with the right topics at the right time!

I’ve been searching for this content for 5 years 😢 thank you sirrr !!

[humansaremonkeys]

You're a great teacher Joe. Thank You!

[mikebooth]

Love your no nonsense approach. It's not magic and that's the message you get across very well.

[edgarsnake]

Great tips. Thanks, Joe. The mix you were using to demonstrate sounded great.

[gkswift]

Joes always got a great approach and easy to listen to. Believe it or not, that makes a huge difference in whether I listen to and watch a channel. There are so many that are not pleasant or interesting, or they are very self-servant in the way they speak, and it makes me leave the channel. Joe's a great teacher and that makes a big difference

Greatly appreciated! Excellent tutorial

[chemdrum]

Excellent video as usual! Another key take from this: You know you're on the right track if your vocal already sounds great even without effects such as reverb and delay. 🔥🔥

[Friops]

Your tutorials are always so easy to follow and understand! They are very hepful, thank you 🙏

Thanks Joe. The compression tip in particular really helped me get some extra polish on my vocal.

[fingereze]

I always laugh somewhere in your videos. You Nashville guys have a great sense of humour. Would love to see you, if you haven't already, team up with Joe Carrell. He cracks me up too.
Though I hardly learn something new in your videos (been songwriting/mixing since the early '90s), you always make me re-evaluate my workflow. Little subtleties and nuances as to why you make a certain eq (or whatever) move, you explain it so well.
All the best dude!

You just opened my eyes after 3 months of pain trying to fit vocals in my song, I didn't even know what I was doing. with your instant demonstration using your own voice to make actual sounds that represent those problematic points on eq spectrum is so simple but it's exactly what opened my eyes. And compression, turned out all this time I needed to know why I need compression at all, and you showed that perfectly too. And also using de-esser after compression, I can't believe I put attack at 1 on compressor because just one day hearing all those unwanted sounds from month an esses. My de-esser was at the beginning of the chain. And also when you boosted that low mid-mid to show that boxy sound and high mids to show nasal, it was like a thousand needles put through my head because I heard this sound all these months constantly every day, because without it my vocals kept drowning in mix, and it actually problem with other instruments that I need to solve. I have cheap monitor headphones and earbuds, the next big thing I need to buy is definitely expensive monitor headphones. I hope I didn't damage my ears and I hope I stop being so stubborn

Watching your vids have been helping make a lot of stuff I've been learning click, and I'm starting to get a better sense of how to approach my mixes. Thank you for these.
