Multiband feature on trash2 with the high end being active is a great way to get your 808 to cut through in a mix.

THE INVERSE LINK FEATURE IS NUTS!!! I bought a bundle a long time ago that came bundled with Neutron 3 and I had no idea this existed. Thank you for showing this feature off! It's amazing!!

Thanks for the tuts Mr Loose on how to tighten my low end! It’s hard to know without any external reference specially using headphones. The visuals are quite handy in neutron I never used them before.

Something I like to do: Put Ozone Imager on the bass after saturating the miss/highs. Then give everything over 160-ish just a kiss of width.

finally, something faster and synthetic was used as an example song here :) I would love to see you mix a fullOn / psytrance style song somewhere like 145 bpm with a galloping melodic bass line and a fast clicking kick. and the question immediately arises to me: what about the phase and exclusions in the kick bass relationship? Maybe in a technical song or in minimal or general EDM it doesn't play such a big role as during the first bass hit on the oscilloscope it overlaps when the tail of the kick sine is still sounding and the sidechain doesn't help much hehe😀 and it would also be worth mentioning that it's sharp and light lo cut on the sub bass or kick shifts the phase, which results in mutual cancellation in the graph. (yes, I know about the existence of nonlinear eqs 😜) anyway, cool tips. we want more of them

@thomairkevinryan4170 3 месяца назад

Does cutting like 3:30 won't engage in phase issues ?

@NOEL-004 3 месяца назад

with a -12 dB its less problematic. -24dB or -48dB or brickwall is worse im not a professional so correct me if im wrong but thats what I know🙃

@jonaspaulsson4977 3 месяца назад

Hi! I would love to see a tutorial how you use Neutron in a Reggae mix Especially Bass and kick

@ErixSamson 3 месяца назад

I understand the logic here, but I think this kind of mix driven by kick tends to make all songs sounding pretty much the same (boom - boom - boom - boom). Might be OK for EDM, not so sure for other styles where bass is not just an "impact", but also brings groove and different notes.

@HOLLASOUNDS 3 месяца назад

You can choose if You want kick or Bass to be lower then the other. Hiphop tends to sound better with the bass lower then the kick but in DNB its the opposite.

@wolfhard2420 3 месяца назад

If your bassdrum sounds boom boom, your mixes seem to be muddy. The indication being there is not enough separation of kick and bass. Which is a key to a successful or a bad mix. Most amateur mixes are terribly bass heavy and sound terrible especially after being maximized when lot of the access bass is converted into loads of distortion to make up for a solid lack of headroom before.

@HOLLASOUNDS 3 месяца назад

@@wolfhard2420 Use headphones and a refrence track to hear and see the difference.

@ErixSamson 3 месяца назад

@@wolfhard2420 By "boom - boom" I meant too much kick drum, so that at the end you just hear it and you just kill the bass signal.

@psypower999 3 месяца назад

I can confirm this is true, I’ve learned mastering and if you do this to certain music then it takes away a lot of the track’s elements and it feels like something is always missing

@Millerboy 3 месяца назад

Why would you measure the loudness difference in LUFS when mixing the low end? You can have true peaks that are higher and use more headroom but have a lower LUFS reading, right?

@HOLLASOUNDS 3 месяца назад

They just choose some elements of focus for the video targeted mostly for beginners. Nothing He said here is anything I didn't already know and do already.

Sorry in advance for the lameness element I'm thinking about but, an AI that applies these settings?

@HOLLASOUNDS 3 месяца назад

Export your track and put the your in a app like audacity with a reference track, how does it look, are there any visible peaks? Does your track look like a cactus, vs the smooth rounded reference track, because if so You need compression. Ones your track and the reference track look very similar then play them side by side back on as many different speaker and headphonesas possible. Do both your track and the reference track sit well together side by side at the same volume? If its Yes then your done.

@sorenandrews1078 3 месяца назад

I mean, that's a bit like saying lets go back to Oil Lamps over Electricity. This may have been good advice 15+ years ago, but in the new digital age, music mixing has evolved. Especially since most of the music is made for digital platforms listened to on cellphones or pods. Not only that, but the track you are referencing was likely mixed on hardware, not software. Will it "look" the same? Sure, but will it sound the same? Absolutely not.

@dawidadamiec455 3 месяца назад

8:00 just turn volume up on the sub rather than messing with Eq and phase :D.

@HOLLASOUNDS 3 месяца назад

No because that would be changing the mix which is mixing, vs this videos topic which mastering.

@HOLLASOUNDS 3 месяца назад

@@dawidadamiec455 I think with mixing its sometimes easy to over think it. Sometimes I look at a mix that sounds good but its very mono but sometimes that kinda works, it can be a bit annoying when something is panned one side without something complementing the other. Alot of famus 80s tunes had this problem only really noticeable in headphones.
