Warren is so earnest and generous with his time and knowledge, he's the best. Thanks so much!

[MattPicsET]

In love with your compression settings. Just tickling the meters. So many producers these days slam them past 5-7db and once you go that hard you can never get back those dynamics. Great video!

[gilbertspader]

Every time you you go “ONE” I think. One singular

[brucegoose]

Thanks Big W! I’m always blown away by the generosity of sharing your craft, not only in detail but also with a charismatic delivery that is focussed on motivating and reinforcing a simple message to beginners on a tight budget or even the proficient who have fallen into stagnation-YOU CAN DO THIS- your many years of hard yards in audio bunkers with such knowledgeable engineers and producers carries a weighty choice of what does one do with this brain full of audio wisdom? Share it in the most humble manner to honour your mentors, preserve and promote the past, give others the same opportunity to excel in the current digital climate, accelerating so fast it threatens to bury the basics of a craft born from the simple joy of listening to music.

And good manners, you always have a strong sense of good manners, from the first plap vid to now, you make good manners look very cool.

All the best, have a lovely day.

So much all of this! Of course I want the U-47! But I get great results all the time with my Rode NT-1 through the old Tascam console and straight into the iD44. I don't need compression with the console padding the front end- I can just set the DAW so my levels hit around -12dBFS and record. Sometimes I'll throw on plugins for monitoring comfort depending on the style, but nothing in the DAW channel insert is 'going to tape, ' so I can change it all out later. Good budget system: clean flat neutral mic, warm clean pres, a little analog in the path, and essentially unlimited editing and processing in the box. Once I realized the power of this workflow I pretty much abandoned the hardware concept. I will probably upgrade mic, preamps and add EQ to the front end later, but I'm getting great results with this basic stuff just like you said Warren!

The best advice! This is what I’ve pretty much been doing since I started recording couple years ago. Got myself a lewitt 441 flex and last year I invested in soothe2 and it’s just amazing! I’m always blown away with how good Lewitt mics sound!

[AmiliaCaraMia]

Love soothe 2. I generally use it for managing the low mids of reverbs and delays. Amazing how flexible that plugin is.

[Ukuleleal]

Great video and perfect timming. Video popped up just after I ordered the LCT 240 this evening. Can't wait to try it out with my UA Volt 276. 🙏

[bobdhoffnar]

About 15 minutes in I was thinking just using sooth2 would so much easier 😊. I learn so much from watching your process. Keep up the great work !

[bebop]

I think the visual analysis is important because we don't all hear the same. It provides useful guidance you can combine with your ears.

[FroznColors]

Need a sequel to this for mixing tips!

[Johnscompany]

I was download your video from almost 6 years ago about how to put the voices on their place and i try to follow your steps. All about. Highpassing. Varius stages of eq, de essing and compresión. Track multiplicated with saturation and low tune voice. And the most important and autotization of the gain and faders. I use a really cheap mic that gift me a friend. And the sound its really good and impresive from that mic

[felipesazo]

Thanks for sharing Warren, you are an audio guru, I'm always using your tips

[olivermaier-landshut]

It is amazing how good budget gear sounds today.

[Mr.Tasteful]

Hi! Big fan of yours, watched dozens of your vids! Besides providing top notch industry knowledge & tips, I was truly shocked how good your voice sounds when singing! That's a good chunk of vocal you've got there! Keep up the great work, cheers from Poland!

[kevgresham]

Thankyou Warren..for showing us how to Track vocals..I have been following you ..Ian shephard.and Graham Cochran for over 10 yrs now..live your content... Recording vocals are so important about capturing a performance..I would track with compression but nowadays I do clean..set a Vu meter to -20 set my gain then do the shinks and snizzels later .Great video ..

[StigmatizedProductions]

Great tutorial Warren...Very good results in both ways...That is usually my approach on vocals proccessing...Soothe is a great plugin!

[homestudioacademy]

Awesome tutorial! I read about your setup in your book but it’s awesome to see it in real life. Also, love LEWITT Mics!

[razhmazh]

Early adapter of soothe (yes, before 2) here. Glad it's getting its well deserved praises. It truly is a godsend.

[figlermaert]

Glad I’m not the only one who listens to 1 second of S’s while de-easing 😄
