If the problem is a VOLUME problem, then it needs a VOLUME solution. Don’t use a PLUGIN to fix a FADER problem.

What a great video … 👍
Joe! You have an AMAZING upper registry voice man! I mean your lower is good as well but man!… Give us more upper registry rockin gritty vocals my man!
Song I still has a problem: voice too low.
I agree with you on volume- when something doesn't seem right- If you turn the overall volume down so you can barely hear the song on a good set of DT880 pro headphones, It's amazing how you can pick out all of the instruments in the mix and adjust the volumes that way- seems to be working for me. Love the vid
One thing I think might be getting me is when I see other vocals mixed. My waveforms would be huge and others will be compact. Maybe I'm learning, but I'm finding me not compacting the waveform as much. I'm using pre-made tracks to practice singing to.
I'm prioritizing my own voice's volume first over what the waveform looks like at the moment. Maybe I can figure out if I can get the waveform to look compact. Then again, sometimes the compression goes too far.
You can't tell me that the vocal wasn't still too quiet in the fixed version of #1 lol.
Very wise advice.
Commenting at 2:02 and I'd say the solution is turn the guitar down (as often). But again the answer is kind of in the thumbnail
The problem is that we don’t have a few clips of you playin that air hockey in the background.
I got 2 1/2 correct. But even after you turned down the volume of the bass, the lead vox was still too low.
Bass… never too loud it is 🙂
Got'em all…yeah! Love your style, always have…👍
Song 1
vocals too low unintelligible, drums too loud?
Song 2
Guitar too loud on same freq as vox
Song 3
Clipping, 90's maximizer, over-compression
This is good advice, and I've tried to get better at this.. it can still be tricky though.. for example, I would have said the vocal was too quiet on all three. In third example, they were just being masked by the guitars. But my first move would have been to turn up the vocal.. then I'd be like, well now the vocal and guitars sound good, but the drums and bass are too low.. oh.. I better go back full circle, but the vocals where they were, and just lower the guitars.. So it would probably have taken me three or four moves to come all the way back around and make the one move that was actually needed.
very important point…
To me this is a GIRATS problem: first get the balance right
Thanks as always Joe
I am here right now 1:51, trying to fill the table (listening from phone without headphones 🎧😅)
1 – voice is to quiet in the mix
2 – voice is also a bit quiet but there is smth else… 🤔 there is some muddiness, maybe
3 – mix overcompressed?..
Let’s see 🧐
First Aid Kit for online mixes; first over 20 bands of reductive EQ, a full rework of the bass frequency distribution then the lightest compression and limiter possible. Its way more complex lol. But once a macro does it, I mix and master moments.
Hi Joe and group. Thanks for the video sir. I would like to say to, thanks for explaining it. I am totally blind, and I was listening to it on the phone. Learning a little bit about recording and mixing. Graphs are hard to use since you can’t see lol. Again thanks for explaining. One question though, is there anybody out there Who understands things like this such as yourself, who may be able to help people like me. Having a tough time understanding all of this, since it is I have to use a screen reader to figure all this out.
I am learning to use the Mac as well. Coming from windows. I know that’s a lot of info, but just thought I would give my input. Thanks guys for looking at my post.
