If this was the OMG let's sign every offbeat act mid-90's, Bud Melvin would have a record deal and be in the MTV Top 20 countdown, no problem. But the times, they are a-changin'....

Don't think I haven't tried. She's gotten wise to my shenanigans since I've been sampling her since she was in utero: every time I try recording now, she shuts up.

The Mothersbaugh How to Draw segments and the Biz Markie Beat of the Day are really rad. I almost lost my shit when my 2 year old started beatboxing along with it. Some of the shit on that show is a bit too dumbed-down though I think. Sesame Street for life!

Re: vocal smoothing (32 replies, posted in Audio Production)

I have a buddy who recently paid top dollar to have his album mixed by the guy who does all Jason Mraz's (yeah) stuff. He said when he went into the studio to hear the final mix, he took a look at the Pro Tools session and said the dude had gone nuts hand drawing the the track volume automation to make sure each syllable was just right. I'm not saying this is good or bad, just throwing it out there as technique used by modern industry professionals.

Listening to pop music throughout the ages, I suspect this has been the norm, albeit executed differently. There's no way that vocal performances have been that "even" that often. Historically, there is definitely some compression and on final mixdown, the people doing the mix were riding the faders hardcore. The final mix was a performance itself.

Compression. Set your attack time long, release time short, and pull the ratio up to taste. If your compressor has a limiter in it, turn that on and drive the gain up to smash it a little further. Enjoy, that's the shit dreams are made of
