5 Mixing Errors That WRECK Your Song 

These recent videos have literally saved all my new material from an impending doom of bad mixes.

I am so glad to hear I am not the only one who has, "Final Master November 3rd B", "C", and, "D" versions

This is hands down, one of the best mixing and audio tip channels on RU-vid. While others promise some magical pro secrets, these videos are typically "keep it simple, stupid" which in a world of a billion options, is refreshing and great advice.

Reference is the key, whenever u hear music, it helps to mentally (or physically) take notes of what u like (or don't like) about it all, instead of blindly shoving everything you have together and hoping for the best

Great job Miami, not only are you killing it with the instruction, but your transition game continues to grow in power. I've got a specific question for you. I'm mixing a metal project right now and was considering using sidechain multiband compression to duck specific bass frequencies on kick hits. I have heard different opinions on whether or not rapid tempo double kick 16ths become too close together to allow compression of this type to work properly. Of course my ears will be the final guide but any advice you have to get me started is appreciated. There's a lot of info out there but you and JST are rising to the top of my go-to list, keep it up man.🤘

Truly every video you do, I learn a little more and my mixes have improved each time

2:51 Yes please! And if I may make a suggestion: whenever you are trying to compare something such as the muddy bass example where you were applying dynamic EQ or multiband compression, and then showing the example without it, please don't apply the difference in the middle of a riff. In that example you showed, on the first half of the bass riff (where the bass was playing higher notes), there was no application added to the mix. Then when the bass was playing on the lower register, you applied the edit on the mix, and it made it harder for me to appreciate the difference between the two mixes. Other than that, these videos are literally the holy grail of audio lessons for me, and I thank you ever so much for it!

You guys are the best!!! Each video you make teaches me new things ❤

Thanks!!! Always love these videos

You are a gem of a teacher. Learned a lot from your videos.

Alright. You got me. Too much helpful information on this channel. Subscribed!

Excellent advice and tips! Thanks, Miami!

Of course we want a detailed video on cleaning up low end!

Damn! Great job Miami, great vibe, and I want to subscribe twice!! Of course we want more!!

3:36 = Transition mastery achieved haha

This was cool,video game is leveling up mann!!

2077 JST released a new video. Me: wow I think I’m finally getting it! Also me: keep killing it with the awesome informative videos guys 🤘🏼🖤

the perfect transitioning doesn't exi- ok ok Subscribed!

lmao at the room noise on your dialogue

Practice makes progress

Had to reach for that sub, I love it 😂

Great tips, Miami, thanks a lot! Please do make the video on the differences between Dynamic Eqs and multi-band compression. Would be much appreciated.

I love how you keep your videos under 10 minutes. Other videos that talk about mixing are just too damn long. I find myself getting impatient and wondering, "when are you going to tell me something useful???" Your videos are concise and informative, so thank you.

The first tutorial I saw with you wanted me to turn it off, but I watched it to the end and since then I'm always excited for the next one 😊 there's no need to have a flashy intro when the content are as good as yours are ❤💪🤘🤘

Honestly I love these tips that you do, but your way on getting people to sub to the channel is just too smooth, this was one of them 😂

that vocal tip was very helpful ty!

3:33 smooth.

I'm a beginner at mixing, and it seems impossible for me to get a modern metalcore sound. My mix sounds old... Do you guys recommend any plugins, vst instruments, sample packs etc? Love the content!

I usually end up turning down my S's with automation. I've tried a de-esser, but I never like how it sounds. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it always leaves my vocal sounding too dull. I know some people will boost the high end after a de-esser to counteract that. I'd love to hear any other tricks you have for combatting the dulling effect of a de-esser.

I didn’t understand the wrong snare example as it was hard to hear them both. Was the white snare the correct or wrong? Were they both wrong? Idk. Was listening in my car.

OP transition game

Need! Am bass player. Conflicted about those frequency ranges. Sometimes I hate it, i just recently needed it to growl. 2:51

What is the song example for de esser @7:57 please 🙏

The real last one I swear got me hahahaha

These types of videos you put out recently, made me create my most fattest mix yet, on the song I'm currently working on. Absolute quality advice right here. Btw: With this singing voice, you could replace Jacoby from Papa Roach one day if he desires to retire. :D

Transition game was insane on this one

What band is Miami in?

This mans transition game is just unbeatable lol

I always find it funny that you’re English is so good considering you’re a GOAT ! 🤣🤣🐐🐐 ( sorry for the bad joke 🤦🏻‍♂️)

yeah, you got a sub from me, for that one 😁

3:28 you're a genius...

The best de esser ? (I use the Gain Reduction 2 deesser xD )

Your videos are great without the over acting man. Just be you. :)

omfg the acrostic message killed me ahaha

info on the *first* song used for mix tutorial? 👀

3:28 The greatest transition in the history of RU-vid. I think this is your peak. I wonder if you ever topped this 🤔

advise is still amazing , :)

I wish I could sub twice that one was NAST-EEEE

Hey ... What's going on with your light??.... Another video i loved, thank you. 🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿 Horns up from Mozambique 🤘🏾🔥🔥

Never got the results I have wanted trying out multiple de-ess plug-ins. Usually just manually decrease the gain of the raw vocal, on Ssssssss, before it hits any processing.

I thought I was on smack the way Miami broke down that transition bar😂😂

Paying homage to Metallica's Black Album and it's perfect mix... I love it! Great choice!

Can you do a video of where to build a recording studio for people who don’t have the space in their home, but have the money to rent a place for their studio but also don’t know what to rent

I'm a fan of The Real Final I Swear (2)

DAT TRANSITION THO

*Laughs in "Super Sibilant Speaking voice"* And that's why I record instrumentals

that was a good subscribe segway. lol/ almost too much. lmao but good.

I really like black Joey

4:06 ok, sir?! You didn't have to call me out like that

Boomy Vs Muddy video please!!

I always make sure to show my music to people who aren’t musicians or producers. The average listener who WISHES they could play an instrument or do this and don’t realize all they have to is put in the time. Those people tend to like a lot of what’s on the radio and mainstream music, so if they feel my songs, then I know I’m on to something.

The real last one I swear 🤣😂

Holy shit, not enough de-essing on vocal delays or reverbs. Especially hearing a vocal ping-pong delay go ss ss ss left and right. That will absolutely pull me out of a mix.

Forgive my ignorance...what album was that?... referencing a “perfect mix”?

I put 1400 Watts of power, 2 15’s,2 10’s, 4 8’s 6 6.5’s and a plethora of tweets into a 2013 Toyota Corolla so I could feel that kick drum. Who needs a trunk or back seat I need sound! No replacement for displacement n all that jazz.

Nothing, that two hyper aggressive compressor plugins in series couldn’t fix…

😆

Was that the black album? Perfect mix? Sure it's metal and changed the world, but perfect mix? Actually the more I type the more I think I can't fault that album mix

For the snare reference if i ever heard the wrong snare sound for an album it would be St. Anger. the songs themselves aren bad but the snare sound made everything sound bad.

The biggest offender is the screamo vocal track … Nonetheless your channel is informative

/ˈZHänrə/ not JohnRah... it's a ZHä .... like Dr. Zhivago... it's a Z H sound like Zhuzh. Sorry to be the one... but as someone that knows Slavic/Cyrillic it's annoying. Even in French it's the Zh sound. BTW love your products and own many. Also love the tutorials... just this one minor itch.

I actually liked the wrong snare example...

THEREALLASTONEISWEARSNARELOUDER3

WOW ,what is up with this video, why is the sound qt,..........well, not you ?

i unsubscribed and resubscribed just for that ridiculous transition lol

S U B S C R I B E, daaaamn! It was nice move
