Thanks for taking the time to check this out. I know you had to grind like hell to make it in the music industry, and I’ve got huge respect for anyone who actually builds a living off it. I’ve been applying some of the feedback you gave me before.. just got out of the shed testing new FX chains on my vocals. Would love to hear your thoughts on how it’s sounding now.

Been tweaking the compression, EQ, and a touch of chorus (with subtle harmonies) to get a fuller vocal sound. Did I accomplish it? I’ve listened to this track so many times I think I’m “ear blind” now 🤣

Do Not over value the visual representation of the pitch- trust your ears first.

Huge thanks for putting together the Melodyne class! I had a blast watching the videos. I really appreciated how you emphasized making vocals perfectly imperfect. That idea hit home for me. My biggest struggle has been obsessing over perfection instead of enhancing what’s already there. I’m 1000% guilty of flatlining every pitch and ending up with full-on T-Pain vocals when that’s not even the goal. I also liked how you tuned in context rather than just pitch-snapping everything.. something I’ve always defaulted to without thinking. I didn’t even realize you could use Melodyne as a VST until this year 🤦🏻‍♂️, so I’ve got some experimenting to do. Honestly, the course was worth every penny. I’m excited to keep learning from you. Thanks again for putting this out there!

I laid down some rough vocals for this track and I’m trying to teach myself how to mix/EQ my own voice so I can really understand how it all works. Right now, I’m mostly experimenting and tweaking settings. My current chain looks like this: 1. Melodyne → GSnap (autotune) 2. TB Parametric EQ (broad frequency shaping) 3. TB Compressor 4. TB DeEsser 5. TB Parametric EQ (fine adjustments) 6. LoudMax (leveling) On the instrumental, I also used TB Parametric EQ to carve out space for the vocals and roll off some lows to fight muddiness. Still very much learning, but would love any thoughts on the mix or the approach.
