As usual KRK VXT6 monitors. Almost always use them. Very rarely do I use my semi open beyerdynamic cans. I always have AC on, tomorrow will try to shut it off, perhaps it was masking something... OR maybe I did something wrong - I don't exclude that. I did not catch what software the guy...

Oh, thanks! Great tutorial! only, I tried what he did, and I really do not hear any difference... I am deaf to such subtle nuances probably :( bummer.

Well, I understand what you are saying. I don't blindly trust what I'am seeing, so ultimately, I do go by my ear, of course. :)

Yes, we just recorded the vocal, and no, unfortunately; the life would've been so much easier if we had the melody as a multitrack version :). I wish I could be of more help.

Oh, perhaps you are right. only used it in certain spots that were very loud. If I used just volume, i think if would have been too obvious. :). By the way, perhaps you could educate me as far as seating a vocal track into an instrumental track. Usually I compare the graphs of music and...

whew, I am glad you were playing :). It is never my intensions to hurt anyone's feelings :) Your retroish is a bit extreme :) Sometimes I do go that far... I usually use Vinyl by Izotop and such for this kind of retro :) I was rather talking 60's. ELLA like quality... I tried, here...

I just wanted to clarify that we recorded the vocal to already produced and finished instrumental track (no vocal). I will try :) thanks for the suggestion, Rob :)

HM... I am not sure what made you think this way really :) I mentioned in my post that this is just an instrumental file. :) but that is ok. I learned a few things from this dialogue. I want to try to make this track sound old now retroish. Will try to figure this out on my own first :)

This song is slow and everything changes slowly, so the automation worked great. I can't even hear when it does. But the voice is not struggling at getting through the music I thanked him for reminding me of automation :) But I am greatful to every single person who replied to my post...

Hi :) I have no idea how the orchestra was recorded and where. I was presented with this accompaniment and that is pretty much it :). Evidently, that's the only one she could find... Sometimes it is nearly impossible to find what you want, and if you do find it, no guarantee you will like the...

Thanks for sharing this! This one is done totally in a different mood :) I like it a lot! Elina took a more lyrical approach :).

SO, I decided to use the automation. This is the best way for this! Thanks (TalismanRich) :) for reminding of automation option. Only I did not automate the volume, but EQd down at 800 hz Q-factor 0.1 ... and it took away the energy (loudness) of the music at certain spots :) As far as fab...

Rich thanks I do look at some retro songs sometimes for reference. and your are absolutely right. I know how to do automation ur for some reason I chose not to do it. I wanted it to be as gentle as possible... the method I used sounds good but I hear how it works... or maybe i hear it...

Nuendo for some reason does not load .vst3 version of fabQ3 and that's the one that has a side-chain capability. Thanks. Actually in this version the vocal vs music sounds just how I wanted. Without using slight compression it would sound overpowering the voice. I need to figure out...

I am not sure what time frame you are referring to... 1980s? I have compressed the vocal and I can raise it a bit to make it sound good on the loudest parts of the instrumental, but on the soft parts, the voice will be way too loud... I used C6 side chain compressor for certain...
