00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
what's going on it's your boy dewan barino from
00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:04.960
not just music podcast guess what we finally
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.580
reached episode 100 and we back in the studio
00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:18.899
let's go let's get into it this episode i just
00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:20.640
want to kind of talk about a couple things you
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.719
know one thing being just getting back into the
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:27.339
studio it's been a while um and it feels really
00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:30.350
good to finally get back in here Got a couple
00:00:30.350 --> 00:00:34.350
of things, you know, we and I have to finish
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:37.369
in here to make everything solid, to get everything
00:00:37.369 --> 00:00:41.490
back up to par. Like I would like lighting and
00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:44.990
a couple of things, you know, cameras and however
00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:47.530
and however those little things might, you know,
00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:52.469
to get everything right in this room again. Get
00:00:52.469 --> 00:00:56.149
all the microphones, you know, computer hookups,
00:00:56.170 --> 00:01:23.950
everything, you know, back up to par. My small
00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:27.849
chain here in cakewalk First thing I have in
00:01:27.849 --> 00:01:33.370
mind is a compressor. Very simple compressor.
00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:35.810
The Sinaitis compressor is very, very useful.
00:01:36.709 --> 00:01:40.450
And it doesn't take much to get it up and going.
00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:43.950
And it doesn't pull on your computer system really
00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:47.849
hard at all. But it does the trick. If you want
00:01:47.849 --> 00:01:49.989
to copy my settings, you can see if you can see
00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:55.670
them, you know, have it EQ. Same thing. The Sinaitis.
00:01:56.590 --> 00:02:00.269
I'm just adding a little bit around 10 ,000 hertz,
00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:03.870
you know, just to bring out the brightness. I
00:02:03.870 --> 00:02:08.330
added about three decibels to it. Sometimes it
00:02:08.330 --> 00:02:10.370
varies, just depends on what I'm looking for.
00:02:12.129 --> 00:02:18.650
Lastly, but not least, the VX64. A lot of you
00:02:18.650 --> 00:02:21.030
do not know what this is, but this is one of
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:29.259
the most powerful tools inside of... sonar many
00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:32.560
years i've been using it but just recently i
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.840
started using it in my vocal chain due to two
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.479
things saturation and compression and a little
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.900
bit of light eq i'm actually touching the eq
00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:48.139
by like maybe a decibel maybe like 1 .5 or something
00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:50.560
like that. It was just to play around with some
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.139
different settings, just, but that's why I like
00:02:52.139 --> 00:02:56.080
to start off it in my vocal chain. So what do
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.699
you have in your vocal chain? You know, hopefully
00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:01.560
you were building your own with inside of, you
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.919
know, within the box that you already have, whether
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.259
it's pro tools, cake wall, I mean, you know,
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.539
those in the FL studio, you know, if you can
00:03:08.539 --> 00:03:13.639
make it happen, make it happen. Logic pro. Um,
00:03:14.090 --> 00:03:18.090
I think some of y 'all are probably even able
00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:20.289
to. I think y 'all recorded some vocals over
00:03:20.289 --> 00:03:23.169
there too. But yeah, come up with your own system,
00:03:23.210 --> 00:03:26.750
your own system inside of your own, you know,
00:03:26.770 --> 00:03:30.210
within your own program. You know, it's a lot
00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:32.949
to use. Just don't overdo it. You know, you don't
00:03:32.949 --> 00:03:35.770
want to stack so many plugins that it's taken
00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:38.490
away from that raw audio. You know, sometimes
00:03:38.490 --> 00:03:40.250
you want to leave a little bit of room to mix
00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:43.689
and master things in the end. So, you know. less
00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:46.930
is more but find your own vocal chain y 'all
00:03:46.930 --> 00:03:50.610
and this again this is within cakewalk sonar
00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:54.389
um again i've been using this for years um i
00:03:54.389 --> 00:03:56.990
don't think i'd change it for the world um but
00:03:56.990 --> 00:04:00.210
again your boy duane barino not just music podcast
00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:00.650
