When I do reverse reverbs, I reverse the vocal than slap a reverb on it and render it then reverse it back so it leads into the word, this works as well!

Lil alter boy, melodyne harmonies, microshift, eq filtering, vocal synth 2 and saturation are some of my favourite tools for vocal ear candy, adding depth and width to accentuate vocal lines and add interest and texture! Love the stutter tip, i usually use a delay in itself, but this i feel has more control, will definitely try it out in the next session, also what a great integration of tape stop built-in in a fade, seems like a logic..al thing to do, Ableton take notes..

[jrunundeniable]

You make great tutorials, thanks and keep up the great work

[starsmash]

you work fast as hell man. it'd take me at least 20X the time you did all that and then some. I can't tell if i'm a slow worker or you just have that much more experience than me.

[rigogarseeyuh]

Thank you! i appreciate you taking the time to create this video.

[riktascale]

Really really helpful tips rather than buying plugs to do these things Sean. Thanks!

[pumbabeats]

Thumbs up before watching the video. Always knowledge

[bikesnbeerz]

Chopped vocal panning. I've not done that before. That was dope.


This reminds me of BT's Hip Hop Phenomenon ( at 4:13) if anyone hasn't heard that yet.

Hey Sean, how you doing?
Congratulations on your work, I appreciate everything you do.
Could you make something clear for me? I have seen your videos and I still have the same trouble. When I'm mixing instruments and drums I have a bus for the instruments and another for the drums, what should I set on that bus?
I use compressors in each specific channel but I never know what to set on that bus for the drums (for example) to glue them together.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Skyc
