"Love" by Lana Del Rey is a nice track & i like the vid.
If you are trying to make a similar sound in ableton that i think you use or any other D.A.W try
softube Tube-Tech CL 1B Compressor & Tube-Tech PE 1C "Pultec" Equalizer & a maag eq4 if you want extra clarity & air on your vocals.
As for reverbs have a look at the
Valhalla VintageVerb &
Valhalla Plate
the second track is from a different era,(in ableton try experimenting with the redux & vinyllizer plugins).
I have already told you about the xln audio
RC-20 Retro Color (which you said to me you got it after i told you about it )
hope this info helps you

 

that bass model, i saw it in MODO. i think trilian has it too.

 

As I've always said, music produced by British artists, structurally, musically are more vigorous than their US counterparts and the voice in them is a complementary element not the whole of it. For example, listen to all these 3 videos in the playlist and compare:

 

WHOAH! What's this got to do with Lana Del Rey?

 

Nothing bro, was just an alternative for your listenings and questioning other questions.

Goldfrapp is British and Lana Del Rey is American. The British understand and esteem good music more than the rest of the world. The same about the porn for the Americans.

Nah fam...you're trying to turn this into something else...

(Besides, British artists all imitate American artists...Adele sounds like a Black gospel singer)

 

@foster911 Why the constant drive and effort to derail posts?

 

Yes my friends, you're right. This thread is for you. Do whatever you want to do with it.

 

I was JUST listening to this song yesterday... not even joking. I remember first hearing this song in a TV commercial in 2009. But yes, those sounds! Beautiful beautiful beautiful!

This song is beautiful too!

And this:

These are similar artists you may like, Zulu. You may find inspiration in them. Just throwing them out there for further inspiration. Lana Del Ray has some beautiful songs. I kinda have a grasp on how to get these sounds, but I'm still kinda missing something lol.

SHARE!

 

That's it, exactly! Avalon!

jk, only got as far as Stetson/Hofner Beatle bass cosplay; I'm sure it gets awesome later on. Respect.

Your country is obsolete

 

Actually...let me install Waves 8 Plugin Bundle I've got laying about...surely, there's some good shit in there to get rid of this post-80's brightness-bias in music production. I don't get it...music sounded JUST FINE in its bias towards warmth in the 70's and earlier...

Anyway, let me install...

 

meh..
in no where close LDR's song sounded 'vintage' as the one by Jo Stafford in 1952

keep on dreaming!

 

Literally all I do is just put in a bunch of reverb.
A lot of times, Eventide Blackhole is a good reverb of choice. Other times, l don't have an issue using a convolution reverb.
As for the sounds she has, the vintage synth sounds, this is nothing Omnisphere cannot do.
The flipside is I will use a lot of Universal Audio stuff. So sometimes I will use some of the compressors to get a more vintage sound. Sometimes the Studer tape saturator from Universal Audio gives a nice vintage sound to an ambient track I do.
Other times I will use Waves stuff. The Abbey Road plugins are pretty nice.
But yeah like others said, don't be fooled by the massive amounts of reverb she uses too. There's plenty of sounds where you could apply the reverb and drop the dry signal to 30% or less and turn the wet signal to 100% and it would sound ambient like that... with the right reverb and the right sounds. Again, Omnisphere can give you a lot of the actual SOUNDS she has (I assume you can't sing like Lana Del Ray haha).
There's a lot of things you could do to get that sound. How Lana Del Ray's producers do it, I'm not exactly sure.

Hope this helps.

 

What's wrong, bruh?

 

Lana Del Rey's vintage cinematic sound is a combination of her unique vocal style, nostalgic lyrics, vintage instrumentation, specific production techniques, and collaborations with talented producers and musicians.
