Why does the course close? It's not like it's a university program?
That's right. It's not a university program. Expert Home Vocals is taught my myself only. No staff nor teaching assistants. However, because it's just little old me making sure you improve the sound of your vocals, I need to dedicate adequate time to my new students to make sure they transform their vocal production skills from amateur to
pro.
That's why the course includes a special, Q&A form where everyone taking the course can submit feedback in case they have any doubts or questions about the materials. I want this course to explode the quality of your vocal tracks, and one way I do that is to make myself available for questions and any concerns my incoming students may have.
What if I don't have time?
Expert Home Vocals does not require a huge time commitment but it will 100% improve the quality of your vocal productions. All you need are a few hours to go through the eBook and videos and you'll instantly have the knowledge you need to make better sounding vocals.
If you're booked with work, studies or other projects at the moment, you should still join the course today even if you're going to take it at a later
date. I'm not sure when I'll open it up again and the course structure, bonuses or price may all be different at that point.
Can't I just find all this on Youtube?
You can certainly search for videos teaching you how to record, produce, edit and mix vocals, but no video will give you a comprehensive, step-by-step workflow like the workbook and video you get inside Expert Home Vocals. You're more likely to bounce from one video to another, learning a lot of random, contradictory techniques (and watching a lot of ads), instead of one method to make better mixes.
Is this for beginners or advanced engineers?
Expert Home Vocals teaches you the entire workflow for
producing vocals, from start to end. It's aimed to teach beginners to advance to an intermediate level with complete production techniques. If you already know a little bit about recording vocals you'll get even more advanced workflow tips to help you make your vocals even better.
How is Expert Home Vocals delivered?
As soon as you check out you'll get an email with a download link to the
workbook with the included video content as well as the additional free bonuses.
What if I don't learn anything new?
Expert Home Vocals includes everything I know about producing vocals and I guarantee that it will teach you something new to improve your vocal sound. That said, if you don't think Expert Home Vocals taught you anything and you just didn't like the course at all for any reason,
simply email me and I'll refund your entire order. If you're not happy, I'm not happy.
I only do [insert your genre of music here]. Will Expert Home Vocals help me?
Whatever genre you're working in, if you're recording, producing, editing and mixing vocals, Expert Home Vocals will help you out.
What questions are answered on the coaching
call replay?
Here are all the questions I answer on the coaching call replay.
- "Regarding the Vocal Space Bus: why the compressor before the reverb?"
- "Are there typical frequencies that contain "room resonance" when recording vocals?"
- "Sometimes I get a phase-y sounding vocal recording. This happens only on a
word here or there. It sounds like I've added saturation or some strange processing weirdness but when I solo the voice and bypass any processing, I still hear it. Any ideas?"
- "Listening to recordings from the 70s, I notice a big difference in the top end of the vocals...as if what we call "air" was rolled off. My vocals often feel not as round as the recordings I grew up with and I have a hard time striking a balance between the modern "airy" sound
and the more silky, slightly more tucked in (or just lower in volume) roundness of my heroes"
- "Do you record directly into your mix template? You talk about getting the mix to sound pretty good before recording vocals."
- "What effect do you use in every mix? The ones you think "how much" instead of "if"?"
- "How does the Waves ADT plugin replace the L and R busses
you use for Vocal Trick #3: Advanced ADT and Depth Without Space?"
