How to Make Thick Vocals

[OmgItsAlexOfficial]

The MV2 is still a secret weapon. Awesome to keep any bass stuff pinned and steady too.

Great straight to the point video. Thanks for the time stamps!

Why are you not mixing with the music? Kinda hard to get the vocal to sit in the mix when there isn't a mix you're mixing to

[Tistgetlizzy]

Awesome vid break down in enough detail short time no bs straight easy helpful content thank u boss !

[doreldumbrava]

Foarte, foarte utile şi mau ales gratuite. Mulţumesc din suflet..!

[sukhi.rockstar]

I luv this channel 💕💕💕 thankyou for amazing knowledge 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[Henle_]

Your videos are so easy to follow, and I often rewatch certain parts many times.
Besides the OTT, are there any free upward compressors similar to the MV2?
Thanks!

[shubhrasinha]

Gain compensated examples would be helpful!

You're not a fan of the CLA 76 / RComp or Rvox? I see you use the fab filter pro c compressor consistently. Might just add it to my arsenal to hear the difference 😅

[salassandoval]

But compressors eat low end, i think it can bring forward but not thicken it.

[salassandoval]

Reverb also make things further away, the opposite of thick

[doneboyremo]

Hi, thank you for the vid. Just a quick question when you say the attentute 2.5k range on the EQ and refer to the low fq range as its fundamental.... What does fundamental mean in this case? 😅

[BLARSpot]

at 6:57 since he's using the fader I assume he's sending the parallel signal through the bus at unity gain. Any reason why to do that over controlling bus amount through the channel?

I don't think your definition of upwards compression is quite right...
You said: "It captures quieter parts of the vocal, compresses them and then amplifies them."
MV2 is a weird example because it doesn't have a threshold to work with.. It ends up compressing everything, not only the quieter parts. Of course, the noise floor will go up by the exact value you set.. On your example it was 10.8 so the noise will be 10.8dB louder.
The definition of upwards compression: when a signal goes below the threshold it gets amplified. In theory you will reduce the overall dynamics but you won't alter the louder parts (above threshold). What's happening around the threshold will change depending on ratio and knee etc. So, things might get weird if you have a hard knee in addition to a high ratio. Your signal might get too loud right bellow threshold.
Except that with MV2 you won't be compressing this way because the threshold is fixed and really really high. Sometimes it appears to be higher than 0, even.
With Pro-MB, for example, you can work more conventionally and it will make more sense if you like the math around threshold, ration, knee.
In summary, upwards compression is fairly simple but MV2 will compress everything because of the way it was designed (not allowing you to set up a threshold)...
Not with Pro-MB, the latter will not change the loud parts (that escape above the threshold).
Opening MV2 and Pro-MB on PluginDoctor is a really good way of not only comparing the two but to understand upwards compression.
I hope I made sense. Non-native English speaker here.

Is it possible to do it with free plugins

[robertvondarth]

Is there a hardware based up compressor?

[aidancues]

I swear I'm missing something here! Need a fresh brain to explain! Was playing about with the MSED on a vox track and my vox is in mono and your example is in what point did you change from mono to stereo in your workflow?
I have to be missing something !!! Feel like an eejit!

[abrotherinchrist]

What's the difference between the MV2 and Oxford Inflator?

[bossselva]

at starting saturation which plugin u used in it ??

[yashukumar]

Which saturation plugin has been used in the first part of video ?
