5 tips to INSTANTLY step up your 808 MIXING GAME (trap & hip-hop) 

Why is no one talking about those snare rolls? 🥵🥵

Mixing Guide: 1. Fix every sound with eq if needed. But I recommend having great sounds so you dont waste your time. 2. Add effects to your sounds if the beat needs it. 3. EQ the low end of every sound until it still sound great. But don't eq your kick & 808 only if you want more or less punch. For this kind of thing I recommend using a transient shaper plugin like Transient Master by NI or the default fl plugin not an EQ. 4. Gainstaging: For trap music, Kick & Clap (or snare) should be the loudest element because thats moves the head. Put the kick at - 6, Put the snare around -5,5 and the 808 a little bit under it. The rest always depends on the beat and the style. 5. Sidechain: I recommend sidechaining everything for the kick a tiny bit. This way when the chorus comes you will have much more impact. Do everything like EdTalenti said about sidechaining. Plus thing: check out how long your kick is in ms, and set the release the exact same amount. 6: Your mix is done. Mastering: Have an eq plugin which has an output gain knob. I recommend Fabfilter Pro-Q 2. Do a cut at 20hz. And make your mix clip a little bit with the output knob. 7: The secret thing: Put on the master after the eq a clipper plugin. (FL Studio users: Fruity Soft Clipper) This makes your beat sound much harder and louder at the same time without distortion. Hope this helped you, and feel free to correct me in the comments. Maybe your advice helps somebody.

Great video. I feel like mixing is the hardest thing to do for me when making beats so this is super useful thank you

I was actually surprised you didn't use a flute this time...

Thanks for (more than anything) to have fun with all this stuff💕

Absolutely FIRE my friend!!! Thank you Ed!

I watched Mixing tutorial for the last 2 years and I learned more with this amazing video than the last two years. Thank you for this helpful video. Talenti you are fire 🔥

This was very helpful to me! Thanks, so much I just liked and subscribed!

I like your drums in general the patterns you make are 🔥

Maaaaaaan, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge... cheers from Brazil bro

Thanks Ed. I had asked about this in a comment a while back. I really appreciate the video.

Your videos are by far one of the most informative and useful on RU-vid! Helping out many rookies (like me). Thanks for keeping it real and caring for the craft :) flute gang 4 lyf

Edtalenti on the beat BOY!!!!

You’re a MFin genius, love the channel homie 💪🏽

Always coming with the gems 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for this video! I was looking forward to it ;) Very simple but effective explanation!

Great video dude. You explained everything comprehensively and it was easy to undertand. Also the beat was nasty like always🥶

Love your explanation 💜 thank you

Bro this goes so hard 💯🔥 nice tips man

You explained that so good my g! Most youtubers talk in circles and half engineer code like we are all at the same level. I subscribed because I didn’t have to rewind out of confusion. I don’t have FL, I use protools, I’ll have to watch more. I might explain mixing vocals better than half the people on RU-vid as well lol.

Awesome. Thanks a bunch for the tips

simple and helpful. thanks!

Great track Ed!

you are one of the greatest youtubers! Keep it going Brother and stay safe

• ooh I needed this, my 808s sound good rn but more tutorials will always help and you always bring the sauce Ed •

I never understood side-chaining until you explained exactly what it is doing. Thank you.

Helped soo much .thanks

Thank you ed edtalenti 🙏🙏🙏

i like how you did the video then its relevant to other daws. its just 🤘

I'll never forget his AYYYEEE🔥

youre the most underated producer i know man, cool asf vids man!

Those snare and bass rolls are SLAPPPIN slappin 💥

Quick recommendation: use linear phase eq when you're dealing with low end. regular eq moves the phase which can be really critical when dealing with low end.

YO WTF THAT MELODY THO

Nailed this one! Great job

this helps me alot !! thanks !

5:28 hands down, my favorite part. This is what it's all about, and the money 😅

Awesome vid, definitely helpful tips to implement.

Great video Ed !!!

thank you man you help me!

Absolute fire bruh🔥❤🙌

Thanks man! Just seen a couple of your vids and they’re all great. I think most of us would love to see you getting some vocals (not yours) into a mix and show the process as well. Just my humble opinion to help the channel grow 🙏🏼

Thanks for the great content Ed. Even though im an Avid user your videos help alot. Keep up the great work brother.

great tips 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!

Great video, I would love to get your drum kit!!!!

Thank u for this

Mad One Ed!!!!!!!!!!!

Plz make a uncut video of you making beats in ableton that would be super helpful..much love from india🔥💓💪

Do you use Maschine at all? I’ve been searching all over on this topic but to apply it and how to in Maschine. Great info btw

Fire Dude 🔥🔥🔥💪

Dope video

Hey man! This a very experienced job! Please, teaching me my master!

Would sidechain EQ on the 808 to drop in the frequency range of the kick be better? since its not dropping the whole volume of the 808? I don't even know how to do it if its possible.

can you please explain why my 808s sound banging and distorted and nice at the start, but as the track goes on they become more quiet? I have compression and a compression side chain to the kick

would adding an extra low pass filter on the kick work as well? or could that be too much low end ?

doesn't it make any difference where you put the utility for gain staging? before the eq or after? at the end or after the sampler? please i need to know this!

tight!

Bro, making sure everything is tuned is a key, thank you!!

New video yeee

Dude that big muddy fart killed me! 🤣🤣🤣

808 Sub 20 Hz / Kick 20 Hz y aqui esta! Magia!! todo suena genial!! xD, hace falta mucha mas ecualizacion, para que el Kick y el sub dejen de pelear en esa zona, los 40 y 50 Hz son muy peligrosos, y entre los 95 y los 130 Hz, tambien... a veces es mejor o hacer una mezcla buenisima y que ambos se complementen entre si (que es complicado) o hacer Sideshain (de muchas formas) podemos hacer un high cut en el kick hasta los 40 Hz o 50 Hz dependiendo del kick... si el 808 tiene mucho cuerpo, la cuestion es jugar y jugar hasta encontrar el equilibrio. Un Abrazo Crack!

Laskoo 🔥🔥🔥

great vid

i live for your "ayyyyyyyeee"s

wait what program do you use fl studio or something else?

that beat is crazy

What about the width of kicks and 808s on mixer channel should I move them down to 0 or maybe 50 or keep it completely wide at 127? thanks

eDtALENTI is super awesome guys!

I subscribeeeeedddd

How do you get a piano roll for each sample of your drum rack??

🔥🔥🔥

Hey bro when I cut low of 808 in fl studio it's going boomy but I don't like that I want original 808 sound how to fix it ?

when you eliminate frqs like this with eq8 you kinda fucking up the phase so i recommend to use a 3rd party linear eq like waves low band

Also, teach us how to make sick flute sounds , or any sounds in omnsphere :D

solid video

Fire video, what scale did you set the push to for the piano?

Jeez u gained a few subs congrats

When I'm thinkin the beat sounds good an 2 seconds later he's like "Okay lets fix this, it sounds like messy garbage" 😳 gets me every time

Why you got only 100k subscribers? You are real Talenti. Hello from Russia

are you on splice ?

808 is fired

Great ! Thanks a lot . I didn't try shaper box 2 yet , how is it ? Actually you could do vst review sometime.

with the low cut we shouldnt just blindly do it with every 808 right? some still feel good with those frequencies hitting

talented

Yo guys, anyone know how he did to record his screen with sound coming from Ableton please ? I have been trying to do it in every i can possibly find but nothing seems to work for me and i really want make beatmaking video on RU-vid too! Thanks in advance guys🙏🏿!

Ayyy! 😁

Hi myself metla from INDIA , actually trap tracks or in range of 150bpm can you tell me what will be the exact BPM for trap

Yeoo talenti been the goat since he made drake and Kendrick songs out of AI Voices. I’m still baffled fam

as always a great vid, but i felt u wnet through the sidechaining part without givin the last sauce such as the gain and release which i think for most are almost equally important... but hey you'll probably do that in another vid if u haven't already ;)

I’m trying to eq my kick to 20hz like you show but 30 hz is the lowest Eq eight will allow. I don’t understand 🧐

How do yu remove scratchy muddy sounds on 808s

You don’t have a tutorial on fl studio ?

Great video, by chance are you using Camtasia to screenrecord and make video?

I problem I have with my 808 is that the low notes rumble too much and kinda clip in the mix

yo when i lowcut the 808 it gets around 7db louder without being audible louder...WHY?

Whats that DAW?

I’m ableton all day but for some reason I want too see you make a beat on FL 😂!?

Solid tips! Just wanted to ask about the clipping happening within the sidechain that i can see happening under the threshold? Shouldn’t that be gain staged before going into the sidechain? Let me know! Cheers

What studio monitors do u use?
