Original subtitles

alright so our goal for right now is to finish our song

we're gonna tune the lead vocals

uh we're gonna do some mixing things

we're gonna bump some gain up on some kicks

I feel like we're gonna uh

use neutron

which is one of my favorite plugins to use at the very

very end of the song's life

and yeah we're gonna have a finished product

by the end of this lesson

start by tuning this chorus lead

and as you know

we already timed it

so it's all in the pocket

now we're gonna just make it really

really good

and I have a very specific way of tuning vocals

sometimes I'll even make new notes

um let's see what we got here

format on we're in d flat major to collect the pitch

why you gotta go

and get my oh

why you gotta go

let's put that's completely dry so

going really crazy right here this G flat to an a flat

I'm kind of sliding up to it

so I wanna make it well

let's first get that a flat wait

and you can do this in melodine too

that's a really powerful tool as well

I'm just using auto tune

if you have waves tune

that's great too

um I wanna make this a little less bendy what

so I want to get this G flat what

it's kind of sounds like this right now

why you gotta

why either let's go here

and we're gonna extend this out

we're gonna overtune it on purpose

and then kind of correct it by smoothing it out

like that it's gonna

why you gotta go

still not perfect

cause you don't want it to sound like a robot

so kind of just manipulate it like that

why you gotta go

why you gotta go

pretty good

get this right here

smooth that out boom

I never wanna

like hard tune it at the very beginning

because that's what gives it the super

super t pain effect

but if that's

that's fine

if that's what you're going for but here

we're going for a kind of natural sounding vocal

get this right here

not going too hard at the beginning

but at the very end go crazy

why you gotta go

and get my get my

gentle and maybe a bit more aggressive

cure very aggressive

see how it drops off there

Wanna keep that up as much as possible

why you gotta go and get my

actually I was wrong

drop it down a little bit

so now we have this

I always after I'm done tuning

I always leave the plug in on a little bit

and I kind of just take it back to

I think it has a sound to it

humanize up

flex up just gluing it all together

but you know I just heard something

I want that d natural

to be a deep flat you're my hope

let's listen to it now why you gotta go and get my cool

why you gotta go and get my hope

and again that's going into the hope step

um let's get the next section right here

2 2 2 this is good right here

clear all data

and love me like you do

act like I do not exist

and love me like it's so bad listening to it on its own

all right so you want to do this artfully

get that f natural I didn't really nail it

cause the whole point is you want to sound like a human

for this song

in love see

I I I still

I did like a little inflation there in love

I still kept on the f in love

but I kind of dip down a little bit here

so I don't want that to happen

I want it to stay up here

so I'm gonna just drag that up here

and it's gonna be a little aggressive just for now but

boom and then you smooth it out

let's see what that sounds like too much

that E flat is a little hard

and love me

and love me love and love

get this little end bit here love

I still think I can push it there

and love me love there we go and love me love

get this here me

and Love Me Like You Did

smooth That Out

Smooth It Out Now and Love Me Like You Do

and love me like it still a little hard there

let's get that there and love me like it

that's a passing note

so that can be tuned pretty aggressively it did

this is go easy

just a little there

I want the vibrato still

and love me

act like I did not accept

like you flat here new new boom do do

boop boop

right here

just getting everything to the best of my ability

like it did and act like I did

that is a little robotic sounding so loosen it up

and love me like it did and act like I didn't

it's good hmm

same thing I'll just blast through this hmm

there we go so this is what we have so far why you

super gratifying hearing it with the music

get distracted then you go skip that really quickly

get distract

then

yeah

maybe go a bit earlier on that one then yeah

get distracted then you're gone

then he fled of course there's dogs barking now

come on you should be good

and we'd already did that

so we just copy paste this right here one

no

you had me so it's really good damn

so we'll jump down to these background vocals

really quickly what were

think these actually need too much that's my

maybe just hopes up just to make that super hopes up

hopes and then we're gonna vocal line that to the main

show you how I do that I do it a little bit differently

but not too differently

imagine listening to that for hours

like the worst fire alarm ever

okay so imagine

starting to go crazy um last one here upset upset upset

cause I kind of glide into the d flat

and I wanted to be like super straight stop

so the only part that isn't on the lead is the hopes up

so let's open up

where is it

other vocal line pro why do you have to go and get my

kind of put it on normal and vocal line

and then I don't worry about this transient right here

because it's better if it's like

everything else is lined up

but that doesn't have to be exactly lined up

line that up

let's do it here to capture why you gotta go and get my

why you gotta go and get my

really talk to him there's amazing plug in

why you gotta go and get my heart

why you gotta go and get my heart

now I can since it's so aligned that I can bring it up

why you gotta go

let's get the hopes up

this is what we got so far actually

hmm some really good

let's just get this one right here

you don't want to vocalizing everything

because it's like

wanted to sound like kind of natural again

if that's what you're going for

I'm going for the kind of natural

I'm gonna pretend

I'm a much better singer than I actually am bye yeah

that G flag is gonna be an F

sometimes it's fun to look at

so f to the E flat do do

so there guys you had me so convinced there's that

blast through this

boom

Boo

no

there's that

dude

and melon you can actually like hit the note

it'll play it for you

I know this doesn't do that but

Boo boo

boo see if I can get it on one shot do do

do

do

flatten that out

love me from the beginning love me from the beginning

girl that thinking in not clean enough use it to be

killing right here from the beginning

but now I know that I was so that

and we can why you gotta go into my hopes up

we already tuned so we just copy this that over here

um let's graphic tuned out vocal line rather this

zoom in here haha haha you have

those SS aren't lined up right now

vocal line might solve that

but might have to manually do it

let's see vocal line

normal flexibility the track it to that

pressing guide go to dub

same amount see sometimes it messes up you had me

you have sometimes it kills it just like it just did

dub the middle one

I love it when it just works

now I'm on the next section

and now I know that

hit guide capture

it's like a game

what's wrong see that wonderful

because I put the bit crusher on these backgrounds

you get a little bit of now

now it's I love that now it's like some grit

what I'm hearing a little see from from not here from

not here from

let's go back to auto tune

Pro Tools and its next update

has to include multiple audio suite windows

and one window

it's a b I see

should be an e fi

wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

who's that wrong wrong

let's do this copy paste

oh and we have these down here

oh that's gonna be so good

so these little harmonies here

I usually go really

really heavy on the vocal line

like super unnatural sounding

and it's totally Okey dokey

fine because no one's really gonna hear them

unless they somehow get the stems

I'm sure someone will

maximum compression to the lead boom

this is how tight they sound

so this is what the chorus sounds like right now with

you don't want to like vocal line everything again

want to keep it some parts loose

but the most obvious parts really really tight nice

I approve of that

so let's tackle this first a little bit

it's a little less work um

again they didn't

they used to use even tight harmonizers to do very

very light tuning on songs

that kind of sounded like this in 1987 1988

uh so you don't wanna kill it with it

cause it won't really be

true to form

just get that really quick

format on

scroll off

hmm

this right here up in this pitch

just down a little bit sure

go up like that boom

that's gonna be good

right here boom

I wanna keep that vibrato

so I don't wanna go too crazy on it

see what that sounds like I've been

but I guess I just don't live in reality

so nice just don't

so I kind of did like a little vocal fry there

just a little so don't trip on tuning that

you can just leave that alone just a little

Scott I didn't really hit a note

turn turn turn just a little

I got a little tough just like a living

it's a little hard there just don't

see what that sounds like just a little

back it off overall

nice that sounds good I'll be

but I guess I just don't

it's so perfect sounds like the moon landing

it's so put that note to the it's so

you don't really need

I guess you could do that but it's going crazy

it's so pathetic that I can

no

headache that I can

so it's so I definitely didn't nail that

so I gotta kind of draw it in

can much better

this is

guess I'm thinking about a

it's not even that bad really

just about making it super tight

this is the last one in the verse

up up

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

ho

see about how perfect we it's a lot

back it off about still a lot

how perfect we could be

how about how perfect we

about how perfect we could be

on a serious note you're touching your mouse a lot

make sure you stretch your hand

or else you're gonna get carpal tunnel

that's happened to me before

it's gonna be a d flat

see what that sounds like

listen now nicely that collides in

and I want to keep everything else loose

so this is what the verse going into

the chorus would sound like

the fully tuned verse lead

and going into the fully tune chorus lead

from the top we have the yeah

guess I'm thinking about

and now it's all about

mixing and fine tuning

and we're just gonna EQ some things

there's definitely some frequencies I wanna

subtract from in these

in these vocals

but you gotta tune vocal now

that's the most important part
