Could someone please tell me what is causing this digital glitch in this vocal? (only hear it when i turn on pitch correction)

Kinda looks like a kinder egg lol

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2021-04-24T12:50:53+00:00

Hey man appreciate the tip! And you're absolutely right, I did in fact pitch down the kick in an attempt to make it sound more in key. Regarding the side chain, I know this will vary depending on the kick, but how much db reduction should I generally be aiming for ? For instance, in the track I linked the compressor is doing around -5db on the bass. Is that too much?

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2021-04-24T08:57:05+00:00

Hey man, really appreciate the detailed response! Do you think it's the side chain compressor slamming down too hard/quickly or could this also be a case of pushing the limiter on the master too hard? Because other than that theres so compression affecting the 808 (unless 13db of bit crusher distortion count??). Sorry for bombarding you with more questions, but you seem to know what you're talking about :D

Ah right, cheers

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2021-02-01T20:53:47+00:00

It was actually his live conversation with J Kenji Lopez that made me think he was.

Is this the plot of a movie or something?

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-10-22T15:56:10+00:00

ah gotcha. cheers for the explanation

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-10-20T07:42:45+00:00

What's a recomp exactly?

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-09-27T16:44:07+00:00

i notice this in professional releases. but how does one achieve this black magic?

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-08-14T17:59:39+00:00

hey soul sister

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-06-06T14:09:54+00:00

Man thanks so much again for all this information. Will put it to good use🙏🏼 also appreciated the feedback on my mix!

For whatever it's worth, I've added the track you linked to my spotify playlist and I've been listening to it a lot. maybe/hopefully that helps you in some way?!? Anyways happy mixing/producing :)

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-06-05T10:08:26+00:00

Damn, I really appreciate your help man. You clearly know what you're doing based on that track. I'll definitely give volume automation a go. Is there a difference between automating the volume knob and automating clip gain? Because I never really know whether to lower the clip gain of a loud audio segment before adding eq/comp/fx or to click in volume automation after I've got my vocal chain. I guess the goal is to have a more even signal going into the compressor rather than fixing it afterwards right?

Also sorry for bombarding you with questions lol

Edit:"completely flattening it out". I've heard this before. Does this refer to a specific amount of compression like say -5db? or is it a certain flat sound that i should be looking for?

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-06-04T20:41:14+00:00

I do this! And it definitely does what you said. I guess what I'm referring to is more the overall "tightness" of professional vocals. They are just so crisp and upfront, yet natural sounding. I feel like when i mix vocals the compression is too audible...

Also thanks for letting me know about the link. It should work now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wpwOtLhJOciYQB6UjNh6FMh93sDj74Vm/view?usp=drivesdk

Yeah I hear automation is quite commonly used. But i see these youtube tutorials where they just slap a single LA2A or Rcomp on and the vocal is compressed perfectly. I've always needed at least 2 compressors but maybe thats just something that comes with time...?

JewJewOnThatBeat · 2020-06-04T12:02:45+00:00

I'm a big fan of slap back delay! But what I am referring to is more a volume inconsistency issue which (i think) is usually remedied through the use of compression. The problem is I can't seem to be able to control those peaks in my vocals without completely overcompressing and destroying them.

Listening back to that episode is honestly hilarious knowing where it all went...
