I’m glad you mention automations a lot of people don’t do automation but it makes the vocals or mix way better

Miami, I love how you are seriously informative and transitionally fun at the same time. I think they call that Edutainment. You are a master at it. Please Keep rockin the content

The ONLY reason I hit the sub button was because of Miami's transition sub game. Period. He's worth the entertainment. You win Miami...Subbed.

Great reminders! Always super easy (for me at least) to forget how important attack and release times are.

I tend to find that the slower the attack time is the more aggressive it sounds. I get more of the transients hitting my ear and to me that sounds more aggressive. Anyone else feel the same or just me?

I don't do that much automation, but I like to gain adjust phrases in vocals if they're too loud compared to other ones, before any processing.
And then I'll use a transparent limiter to catch unruly peaks so they won't trigger the compressor.
There are no rules, just widely accepted standards that are a great starting point.

Cool videos Miami.
Would love to see a video about automation. One of the hardest think to think about for mixing lol

[PsychosTherapy]

Props bro you saved my music and all my fans ears lol

[iL_Podcast]

Automations are great; the POWAIR compressor by SoundRadix is really the only one I use these days since it can apply compression at the same amount even if levels are varying… I’ve definitely over-compressed vocals before though…

[firmansaragi]

Awesome miami. Always helpful.
Would love to see a video for automation

[firdeye]

Great videos, you and frightbox are invaluable... I don't got much else to say haha

[MRREVILOable]

Pls give a full lecture on compression

[Foififtyfive]

I find this hard to understand.. for example if am using a stereo bus can I still put FX directly on my track individually?
