Hi List, I'm very excited, I created a Patreon page
<https://www.patreon.com/yassinphilip> to get people who like my music
to support me (already 4 ppl giving me 40$/month, how cool) and a
webshow <https://youtu.be/8Q0PyzzDjUY> to, well, give back more than
music videos.
We are going to talk about the tools I use and how I use it to get my
sound, the famous "yPhil sound" that get Venusians baffled and
hypnodancing :)
In fact, we are going to talk about everything. Like why I embarked on
this journey in the footsteps of Andy Partridge, Brian Wilson and the like.
But mostly Qtractor and Blender ;p I'm going to make a short meta-video
where I'll be explaining that.
The 1st episode <https://youtu.be/8Q0PyzzDjUY> took 2 weeks to make.
Yes, two weeks for a very sketchy and generally lousy 10minutes video.
Well, I had everything to set up: Title screens, etc. The 2nd one
<https://youtu.be/2-nGhlNRSd0> took 24h total to shoot and edit. Now
watch me: I'm going to make at least 1/day :)
Please like and share, and tell me in the comments what you like (and
what you don't, here in this LAU thread ;p) and what you'd like me to
cover in coming episodes.
Keep on rocking the free world!!
yPhil

Please use a pop filter and a low cut on the voice. I was trying to
watch this (Opus #3) with my headphones on but the pops were so
distracting I had to stop.
Still, thanks for the effort, I know that making videos is a *lot* of work!

enters a compressor,

If you have recorded the voice separately, you can try applying a
lowpass shelve filter with a cutoff around 150 - 200 Hz. If you want to
get fancy, you can also try a dynamic EQ.
Some compression may also help to soften level bumps.

Thanks a *lot* for those advices!!

I enjoyed the first video a lot as have have
been putting off trying to
do recording like this as I didn't know where to start. My background is
mainly live mixing and this gives me incentive to diversify.
Dynamic EQ would be the best way to improve the current audio as it will
only cut the problem frequency when the level goes over a threshold.
Normal EQ applied to the whole track would make the non-offending bits
sound thinner. You could fine tune a multiband compressor to do this
too. Personally I thought the breathy noises were noticeable but not
greatly annoying.
In future speak a little off mic to reduce those breath plosives.
I will watch your other videos soon and look forward to future episodes.
Thank you for taking the time and energy to make them!

A "classic" chain will be mic>preamp>soundcard>Jack>DAW
in>compressor>eq
As suggested early by Roger, you may want to use de-esser as explained here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-essing
but the tip on mic position is the one to follow (when you cook, if
ingredients are bad the meal will be bad..)

According to what my ears tell me, the problems with the presenter's
voice in these videos are just the result of using effects where you
shouldn't. Just forget about compression, deessing, reverb etc. None
of that is needed. We've had perfect voice presentation (e.g. on radio)
decades before any of those effects even existed.
Just make sure you have a more or less correct level, eventually use
a highpass or LF shelf filter to correct the mic response if you're
talking close to it. If you're a perfectionist use a peak limiter,
ensuring it doesn't do anything most of the time. All the rest is
nonsense.

Just moving the mic out of the way of the breath may be enough. Slightly
higher than the mouth and pointed down a bit (to keep the mouth on axis)
works well for me.

A "limiter preventing poking holes in the ozone layer" ... funny. The
tone of the video is very good, light and easy going. Even though I'm
not interested in qtractor, the presentation makes it that it is a
pleasure to watch.
Do you have a general direction, specific items that will de addressed,
in terms of techniques that you will be showing in the future ?
Cheers.
