Initial Dynamic Control For Vocals
Hey folks! I am new to vocal editing and was wondering what is everyone's preferred method for controlling the dynamics of vocals before compression? The method taught in music production 101 is clip gain automation, which works well. But I was thinking if I can get the same results through riding the fader and then bouncing the track? I was also wondering if plugins like Wave's Vocal Rider has its place in speeding up the process? I was told by someone who works in the industry that many professionals (especially the younger ones) forgo manual clip gain automation in favour of these plugins. Which made me curious if quality was sacrificed in an effort of saving some time?

@Katleho Monyobo Perhaps I should try the other methods out, just to see it for myself. Thank you for your input.

@Petter Jensen Thank you for your thoughtful response. You mentioned that gain automation is more surgical, can you elaborate a bit more on that? I'm struggling with the adjustments of continuous phrases with clip gain. Sometimes I can't make it sound transparent when I chop out a syllable from a continuous phrase even with the fades. Do you maybe have any suggestions for me?
Help with produce-a-thon documents
Hello, I would highly appreciate if someone could share the documents that were shown in today's webinar. I'm talking about the document where one can place an overview of how the track is going to sound before production and also the second document that gives info on the types of movement and so on. Thanks!

Feature requests?
Hey guys, wanted to get some thoughts on how we could make this group (both free and paid membership) even better value for everyone. Post your ideas/requests below, and drop a like on the requests you like the most! Some prompts: - What could we START doing that we’re not already doing? - What could we do MORE of? - What features would you like to see added? - What do you get the most value from right now, and how could we make it even better? Obviously can’t make any promises in terms of following through on every suggestion, but I can promise that your suggestions will all be considered and we heavily weight user feedback when thinking about improvements.

I think it would be cool idea for sound design and ear training if you have a series where you listen to a song, analyse the song structure, instrumentation, and choose one specific sound in the music to recreate. It might also translate well into shorts. And maybe doesn’t take too much production time? (I do think it would be fun though, like a challenge for the content team :) )
