Not afraid to admit I am probably old enough to be your grandad, never mind dad - but you teach me stuff every time I watch. You have a very clear, mature and succinct way of imparting information and would no doubt make a great teacher. Thanks.
I leave a comment on almost every one of your videos saying how much of an amazing teacher you are Michael, and here it is again! Thank you for sharing such precious knowledge! I really mean it!
Imagine me starting out home recording, building a studio in 1990, and having all this wonderful information available. Gee, back then I was reading articles and books. And copy them. And taking notes. Millions. Of. Notes. Cheers!
I find it ironic that having all this information at my disposal can be a bit overwhelming and love me a good book to take notes and cement my memory of what I learned, not knocking you at all I just think maybe you doing it that way was better in the long run. Or maybe it’s my ADHD talking lol!
Thank you. I only just started audio mixing about a year and a half ago and, aside from reading different materials about it, I learned most of my application from your videos. This particular video is very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us.
@@Mateusz7821 I teach Musical theatre. So mostly show tunes and Disney songs. Raw recordings from my students, most of them have no professional gadgets so, yeah, you can just imagine the quality of their recordings 😌. Then I use existing passable accompaniment from YT. These videos have been very helpful.
@@nathseverett4288 There are free resources online for practice multitracks that anyone is free to download and use to practice mixing with. Full studio quality (most are 44.1/16 WAV) and there are MANY genres - rock, metal, soundtrack/symphonic, pop, folk/acoustic, etc! Just google "Free Multitracks" or "free multitrack resource"! You are free to use them in all ways as you wish in order to practice mixing - the only limitation is that you are not allowed to release these mixes commercially, for obvious reasons. Hope you find this info useful :)
I've just been doing some heavy EQ learning lately, mostly intelligent EQ with the Multiband patcher preset in FL Studio. Really helps carve out frequencies of other sounds to allow room for instruments and other sounds
Bro you are legit such a Chad for all of your videos! I learned so much from going and watching so many of your videos in depth and all I gotta say is thanks! 💯
Great tutorials! Nice and precise!Since last year (when I began using FLS) you have always been my go-to teacher. I'm a fresh beginner but every time I watch your videos I feel like I can do anything musical. Thanks again.
Your videos are incredibly well made and one of the best resources I've used for making music. Straight to the point and incredible advice that's applicable in real world usage. Many thanks!
I feel like you've mastered not only FL Studio, but Production in general. The amount of information you provide is crazy. Thank you for the knowledge over the years.
I'm really glad I found your channel, not going as far to say it's changed my life-- that cheese-- but it's really helped me learn more about music in a way I've never thought. That said, mixing and playing are two different fields, but they overlap in many cases too, so being able to take all the practice I've put into learning piano and applying it to mastering and mixing techniques I've learned from this RU-vid channel has really helped me grow, so thank you!
Thnx for the video sir,your videos are quite usefull.....can you make a video on using fruity love filter or maybe a video about EDM production? It would mean a lot.......I would love to watch a video where you share with us your journey as a musician or producer
Such a cool video! I’m a learning mixing engineer and even if I feel familiar with a subject (eg EQ’s) I always learn something from your videos. Thanks so much!
So I've been watching countless FL studio tutorials on mixing , eq-ing, compression, and side chaining. By far, your videos are by far the best in quality and thoroughness. Also, won't lie, but im Kinda jealous of your voice 😅😅. Keep these coming tho bro. We appreciate your work. Btw, in still having a hard time understanding side chaining and aside from like a kick or 808, can it be useful anywhere else? And also, regarding eq-ing , any tips on in the event of using a full drum loop...i.e kick , snare , hats. Thx! I have ozone 9 , FL 20, loads of plug ins
Thanks for the kind comments! For sidechaining, it can be useful for competing mid range elements too. You could sidechain the vocal to a synth pad and reduce the treble of the pad when the vocal reaches a certain level. This can create more presence and depth in the mix when done right. My previous video about side-chaining shows how to do this in FL studio with a dynamic EQ. For mixing drum loops, multi-band processing becomes an invaluable tool. Multiband compression so that you’re not over compressing the whole drum group if you just needed more compression on the bass or snare alone for instance. There will always be overlap and that’s okay! I hope that helps a little?
Hey mike ive been using fl studio for some time now,what i need to know is that is it fl only for programming like others says,or it can olso be used in mixing and mastering we really relly on you,you are our own goat plz help
I use it for professional mastering every day of the week, along with other software. It's a fully-featured audio editor for mixing and mastering but the workflow might not be for everyone. The sound quality of FL Studio is mathematically identical to all other DAWs when combining audio tracks
This is such a good video. The only drawback is that it's a lot of information to take in in one time. Maybe after each part of theory some more examples would benefit the pace. Second, it made me understand something I wondered about. In a recent video/masterclass Catherine Marks used at least three hardware EQ in serial order for mixing, and some plugin ones on top of that too. Maybe a video on this specific practice (with the same excellent explanatory audio and visuals) would be nice (if not here already, of course).
Thanks for the feedback. I can see watching the video back that the pacing could be improved. It’s a tricky balancing act of keeping a video engaging while not moving too fast. I think I’m getting the balance right in my recent videos. As for the stacking of multiple EQs, it’s likely a personal preference and she has learned which bands she likes from each EQ. Often I’ll use one EQ because I like the way it adjust the low end and then I’ll use something else for the treble. I also leave all “surgical” eq for digital/plugins.
AMAZING!!! Michael I think these " back to basics " or " explained " videos are very very important. We need to be reminded such things and main topics from time to time. Thank you very much for the video, very useful! Also, what is the first song you played in the beginning? With cello and piano :)
Love Michael's videos, and this one is no exception. Speaking as a hobbyist at this stuff -- what's a side-channel? Can someone please explain or link to a good explanation of it? Thanks
Thanks brother,I was always wondering about the technical differences between EQ types. Ps.for the longest time I refered to the parametric EQ as a "parametic EQ" as I thought it was for fixing audio blemishes.lol.
I simply love your content😍! I leant music production from you! Can u pls do a video on types of compressors pls? (Like FET, VAT, etc) it would be a lot of help!🙏
Your presentations are always excellent! I found both this one and your compression masterclass to be very useful. Thanks for a great channel! Also, I love your dog :)
