CHECK YOUR PHASE & MIX IN MONO! (Using Span) 

i love going back on your older videos and im constantly learning despite having already seen your videos a while back. always a nice refresher ! hope youre well man !

Ableton 10 has a "bass mono" feature on utility, which is exactly what you built with the rack

Always quality posts man. Even after watching plenty of videos about mono compatibility and phasing, your multiple in-depth examples really helped me understand the concept.

THIS TECHNIQUE LITERALLY JUST SAVED MY TRACK..... super helpful! thanks for this

Pretty sure the didgeridoo is replacing serum in 2020

This is a great example on why it is important to mix in mono! It's such an overlooked technique but so useful. I always used to go for huge and wide sounds with synths, strings and guitars but whenever it was played back on mono equipment I lost all character. An alright technique if you want a wide sound yet not out of phase is also doing quad-tracking. Having 2 channels 100% left and right and 2 channels at around 50-80% left and right with the volume set a bit lower. This also allows you to sidechain the second signal differently so it doesn't conflict with other instruments in the mono mix

man, this video save my jobs!! I am from Brazil and I can't find a video which explains me how to understand the phase problems!! thnks man

1:13 I can still hear it... faintly.

"stick with one, and just turn it up" 👍

this is exactly what i've been looking for. thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS AND SHOWING US EXAMPLES AND SOME SOULTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS BEST TUTORIAL ON THIS TOPIC HANDS DOWN

The tip about going back and doing a shelf on the mid & duck on the side super useful for fixing some audio I'm restoring. Voxengo has a standalone Corellmeter plugin that comes in handy alongside SPAN. I don't produce just restore and your tips always help 😀

Span tells you if you have any phase problems though without doing anything.... If you just run it in dual mono mode that tells you...

Correlometer is much better than SPAN, it gives you more information about phase correlation than SPAN.

What about using mid/side compression to solve the phasing issues?

There is a misconception about phase and polarity. What it’s called phase in the video its actually polarity. Phase is the relation of time between two identical signals. Ex. We can generate 2 sine waveforms with same amplitude, frequency and polarity. Then, if you shift the second signal 1/4 of cycle (90 Degree). We will have a difference of 90 degree phase between the signals. Now if you change the polarity of the second signal (90 Degree Shift + Polarity 180) then we will have a lower amplitude on the summed signal while the first example the summed signal we will increase the amplitude. In a mathematic viewpoint they are the same but in a practical example they don’t. This is why the two terms are so confusing. Great vid anyway!

Dude, I’ve been working on trying to fix one of my Serum presets for a week straight. I really owe you one brother. Great video. 😎

Yo,AHEE thanks to uproad some great videos everytime ! I wanna know how to use Producer's sample packs which great influence to produce track myself. sorry for my english is bad ,because im japanese .

I just wanna say THANK YOU AHEE! I really , really brought my mixing game up to the next level with your little tips and tricks ! Especially the one , where you keep the lows as the same level as the highs. And today I was checking my song in Span with the correlation meter and it was sometimes a bit out of phase and I was scared, that I couldn't fix it. I searched for AHEE again, and violà you have the perfect solution! ( There was a Synth, that had low end i cutted earlier , but after saturation I forgot to cut it again.) And I am happy, that I learned something really helpful today!

actually you don't ask the speaker to be in different places at the same time. What happens is that the speaker plays the sum of all your signals or tracks. And the sum of two phase-inverted sines is zero, so it cancels itself out

hey man, appreciated, very helpful.

would vitamin work the same at 7:00?

The world thanks you

out here making the world sound better. look at yah 😘

or just use fabfilter Q 3 and cut the lows with the stereo band

Nice job - thx for sharing.

Does phase problem eat the level and make the track low on volume?

so in your example with your tune, out of phase means there is more info on the sides than there is the center? thanks

Oh！Amazing！That’s what I‘m looking for and I just struggling for this a long time！Thanks！

yooo we need a vid on turning that didgeridoo into a lead bro

Good stuff. Needed this explained just the way you did. Liked and subscribed. 🤘

That didgeridoo song slaps!!! Great vid. Thank you.

some people are just advanced

Infected Mushroom also has a plugin called "Wider" that lets you widen 200% without ever going out of phase. You can also achieve this with a eq 8. Using mid side.

Can you get the Hi Lo splitter to logic pro x

Wow amazing tutorial!!

Loooove the tut duuude thanks!!

You're a great teacher man, thank you for sharing your knowledge in the way that you

u forgot to turn down the random ;)

So much of value!

Master, thank you

Great video!

I think you just saved me! Thank you!!!

1:08 essentially this is how noise cancelling headphones work

I get phase issues when I turn on unison in Serum and I can't figure out how to fix it without destroying the width. Please Help!!

Great vídeo dude.

Awesome vid man

Love your technical vids, and your racks are epic! Would love a walk through of splatter mouth, it’s a giant tune and you did a great job mixing all that content and making it huge.

SOOOO GOOD, THX

Dope video, cheers!

👍

Legend!

6:30 why dont you just apply a lowcut with a mid/side eq after widening? whats the difference between this technique and splitting, then adding width to the highs?

Bro are u a damn alien????? I swear i was tweaking those useless eq, compression knobs for like a week to make my lead sound perfect until i saw your video and realized that im having a lot of phase issues on my melody, i instantly made my melody more mono and i found out that making it correct it makes the melody stronger and even more wider feel, THNAK YOU SOO MUCH !!!!!

6k views. 400 likes??? Something ain't adding up. I appreciate this man!! I haven't even realized ive only been working in mono.

Couldn’t you just use eq-8 in mid/side mode and do a steep cut on the sides channel at whatever cutoff frequency you wanna make mono? Obviously you wouldn’t be able to do additional processing to the highs and lows independently... but for this application it’s less steps and would actually prevent any weird crossover artifacts.

Top content man!

did need this knowledge! so much problems... :) utlity is my friend. edit also found relay from izotope.

if ou put the signal in mono span won't detect phase issues, as it's imposible for a mono singal to be off phase, so that doesn't solve the problem 🤔

BRO...... sub to this guy. You saved a few of my tracks bro. Tears of joy.

wow. this was extremely helpful!! thank u

AHEE you are the savior we all needed all of your videos and racks have completely brought my production to new levels thank you!!!

bro you're dope and this video was great. thank you.

Tp bassline is a good tool too you can select which frequency range you want in mono and has a width knob

I love you Ahee I am learning so much so quickly

6:45 In live 10 just click the utility "bass mono" button

great video! love the way you explain stuff:)

mid side EQ works like a charm. Thanks Aliens:)

this tutorial is lit ..........really helped me for mixing in mono

Really digging your tutorials bro, stay awesome. :)

This helped me a ton! Thanks brotha!!

That's exactly what i needed ... Thanks 👍

YOU SAVED MY MIX! GOD BLESS BRO

awesome video! I do have one question though (I'm new to production). Should I apply this high low splitter to every single bass track or can I group the tracks and put one splitter on the group track? would that do the same thing or would it be better to put one on every track?

U SAVE MY TRACK!!!! LOVE U!!!!

Thanks for another great tut bro!

you a legend sir, bless

Great tips thanks man 👍

Good Luck at Lucidity!

Could you put your hi-low splitter on your master channel?

The best one

👍

i'm in dire need of this information, but your corniness is not something i'm willing to tolerate at this time. i'd rather suffer.
