Vocals: Mouth De-Click | How to
UPDATE: Check the comments for great solutions! -- Izotope RX has excellent repair features, the one I really need is de-click, but the price is really high for the necessary version (around 500 bucks). Does anybody know of an affordable alternative? How do you solve this problem when you have too many clicks and need to remove them? Also: any tips for reducing mouth noises when recording? I recorded very close to my SM58 (with a pop filter) because the closeness gave me the sound I preferred. Should I hydrate more? Or less? :D

First "Sync License" Project! Feedback?
An indie film studio hired me to write, produce and mix a track for an upcoming film! This is my first time doing a sync licensing project and I've been working hard all week to get it done ^_^ But. My ears are really tired at this point. Here's the first mix, planning to take another stab at it tomorrow. In the meantime, I'd really love to get your thoughts!! Please lmk if you have any feedback. https://on.soundcloud.com/5N5FCDvolEcXfLKpY9 This is a Charli XCX / bbno$ / blackpink inspired track. For a car chase scene! So excited.

Congrats and yes try another. The movie cats are going to want your stems so they can balance into the movie among scenes and actors. That lead vocal is 'detached'.

Music that gets your attention
What if you are called on to help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_OpUZSGlT4&list=RDQ_OpUZSGlT4&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi-9wS1so&list=RD0Ssi-9wS1so&start_radio=1 NSFW -- YT Fatty Boom Boom official video. Close your eyes and listen. If you watch you will think her voice bright, but it's not. Die Antwoord is not everyone's cup of tea. But if you want to understand modern sound and music you might want to take note. This stuff is 13 years old and they imo are better than most modern music of their genre. I mean this was the heyday of FatBoy Slim and Everlast. and old faithful I just picked a random segment. Notice how nothing hurts your ears. Things sound high, low, dull, sharp. Nothing really kills your ears. Two sides to album and many different sounds within basically two themes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a8YD2aM3HM&list=PLiecCbrecx6gCEoMYZ2vkP9SSfOdLfr1n&index=4 My point being. Even if you don't like it, it still is something you can examine. If you like something and it is shrill or muddy you will by nature turn it off. You will not want to examine it. You DO want people to examine your music. Regardless if they like it or not. If you are lucky they will grow to like it.

@Lou Baker Sounds like quite an undertaking. I'm actually trying to simplify my life but always interested to see / hear what others are doing.

@Jamie Taylor It's not like a lot of these plugs are bad. But ffs, let's say you wanted to build a simple and I mean simple stereo hardware setup. You are looking at $10,000. What happens next. You still suck, you dive in, you get some good sounds. Ok, you have a stereo setup. Now you buy $10K of plugs and have no idea how to make them sound and be used like hardware. You have 124 channels of something that you don't understand. I would - hope - that someone gets some free, cheap, or expensive plug and actually digs in and makes some new music. Something no one has ever heard. Either enhance something, break something, but no one wants to hear the same thing and the hardware / software always takes 2nd seat to the talent. ( ok, it used to and should )

Read the Manuals for the hardware being emulated.

@George Fonebookhead Side chain is where one thing controls the compression as opposed to the track itself. EX: You sing AAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH I clap my hands while you do so. If I am the side chain it will sound like this. AAaAHAhHAHaHAHaHAHaHAhAHAhAHh Every time I clap it compresses your vocal making the A like an a. That's the simple version. In practice my clap can actually be muted to the output sound but will still have the same impact on your vocal as to what people hear. Everyone will hear you bu t not me. Put a pad on track A. Steady sound. Put a kick on track B. 4 on the floor. Sidechain the Pad with the kick Your Pad will now pulse with the Kick but you hear both. Mute the kick and you hear a pulsing Pad. Look up "ducking" used in voice over. Same thing. It can also be done with EQ. A certain freq. can be chosen as the thing that causes an impact on the main sound. You side chain out "x" from the forefront instrument. X and Y are a duo. When X does a certain thing it masks Y. X gets side chained to Y when it does that 'certain thing' and it sounds like a perfect duo.
