Crazy Two-Fader Mixing Trick 

I learned and use a method that has 3 buses: Drums/Bass; Other instruments; and Vocals.

Jo Just wanted to say you have brought Recordingrevolution to a newer level and you help us to enjoy it with a lot of laughs put into your mix Thank You Jo

Joe!!! this is great! the low bus/ high bus fader trick is how i teach folks to use the sound systems we install in churches. keeping the lows down when the pastor is speaking helps keep hearing aids from distorting. then it makes it quick and easy to rock the house when the band kicks in by pushing the lows up to taste. got to keep that old folks section smiling! thanks for sharing

Well - that's a creative twist on building a mix. I look forward to trying both of these techniques soon. Joe, thanks kindly for your generous tutorials.

Excellent- really neat and practical ideas. Thanks.

Yeah I'm gonna try this! Thanks, as always, Joe.

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!!

Great idea! Thanks Joe!

Great ideas! Mixing our next single and will try these out. Thanks, Joe.

Great stuff!!!

Super tutorial - thanks Joe

Thank you Joe, I plan to try them out.

Gonna try it, makes sense!

Nice tip, Joe! Thank you!!! =)

Thank you so much, u are really a hero God Bless You :)

This really works wonders. I was having a terrible time with a track. I had restarted the mix multiple times but it just wasn't mixing well. Then i decided to mix via buss like h3 described here (btw i always route my tracks just like he described in every mix, with the names being different). I mixed drums and bass first, then pull down the drums buss fader and mix vocals, then same thing with other instruments. Then on the buss level i mixed in the other instruments and vocals, then brought in drums and bass. Honestly it was like a secret recipe to a meal. The song sounded exactly as i imagined it.

Someone's gonna be doing this 100% of the time from now on. Thank you, sir!! 😬

Muchas gracias, funciona perfectamente, te has ganado el like, la suscripción y todo XD

i split mine into 5 busses - low (bass, kick), drums (includes kick and vibe + drum verb), vocals (includes vox verb), instruments (includes mid-hi bass + instr verb), and solo (includes solo verb) into the master which has the room verb. then i can mix across the main groups and apply any bits of compression, ducks, eq, etc.

That is cool

I do the D&B vs. E'erything Else mix trick, except that I use VCAs instead of an audio bus. In fact, I'm pretty sure I got that trick from you!!!!

Must-have bookmark at 3:02 "Fun fact: if the drums & bass are killer... everything else doesn't metter to much". PLEASE 🙏 speak it out loud to any amature church band... ) 😌 Big THANKS from a bass player 😏 +1 proof to my library)

Which one do you prefer or use more often Joe, D&B or Low-High?

I like this concept. As orhers have said, i wonder how that would roll with separate vocal sub also. Is there a reason why you use only two?

I have 4 buses for the drums so far it's been working better than with maybe just 1 or 2

Love the idea but don't forget to check the masking

or combine the two add the 2nd to each side of the 1st ;-)

Any not just use VCA Faders?

Great tutorial as always, between RR and HSC I have learned a lot throughout the years! Little confused though what videos go under what channel name since you teamed up with RR? Maybe put everything under one name or try to differ the content somewhat?

why do you need separate buses to mix the drums/bass, and harmonies/melodies separately? you can just solo the bass and the drums, for the first stage, then mute them, when you're done.

First comment. Yay! I win!

Damn bro it looked fake ngl, but it work out pretty good new sub and like

Where is the music? It’s a lot of words and no sound to follow it!!

Have you always been Recording Revolution? Where is the guy who started this site? He is a Christian guy?

4:20 I mean, the drummer probably doesn't know how to tune his drums or hit rimshots and the bass player probably didn't learn the part so might as well fire them and replace them with samples 😂 (Joking of course, I'm sure your band isn't like this)

What do you suggest when you also have a piano or hammond track and the musician is playing low octaves in left hand and upper chords in right,, but the mix also has guitars, vocals, orchestrations, Bass and Drums?
