This was awesome and concise information! Would love to have seen how you would route the vocals to it's own buss and mixed it that way. But this does serve as a wonderful foundation of knowledge for me to accomplish this on my own. THANKS!!!
Dang Miami! Absolutely killed it as always mang! That sub transition game was beyond epic! I really needed help in this regard and now I have a better idea for my future mixes thanks for sharing! For the future I would to see you talk about something like track spacer and how you would use it on reaper to side chain properly I'm still having issues with its routing. lol much love Man!!
Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, a video on the most important aspect of mixing and that I have not seen anyone cover. All videos I always see are about just the new plugin that came out and tips and tricks using plugins to achieve a certain sound, but, no one except for you now had taken the time to make a video on this most important topic. This is the foundation of everything, and with this done everything else falls into place and makes all the other "sweetening" aspects much easier. My total respect for you guys making this video and keep up with the excellent content and products!!!
💯 balance is the only thing we all share lol. Videos on eq, effects, compression, "what do you have on your mixbus" are cool and inspiring but it's really personnal. You can eq a million different ways, at the end, it all comes down to balance
@@joeymusic Cool! Maybe a video on how to get a clean, clear sounding mix, but in a very 'general sense', if you haven't already. 😎 i.e. not getting to specific with certain plug-ins.
@@joeymusic Something related to all the guides you guys made, to see how people took it to use. Like 'Mix, balance & glue this track' or 'fix this guitar sound' or 'EQ this vocal to your track', Or.. maybe something like sending songs in to pin-points 3 things to focus on. Or.. let people record their mixing progress and pin point the mistakes. That could be very interesting getting in touch with the subs.
i love that i heard the drum jokes in the beginning literally as i’m setting up my new electric drums lol also, do you think you could do a video on mixing electric drums one day¿ if not, totally understandable
Hey man im wondering abt your defuser you made behind your monitors and screen...how thick are those pieces? And does it work well? Or more for visual? Thankyou
@@joeymusic I’m always hearing conflicting opinions on panning in mixes. I hear a lot of recommendations for CLR mixing though this video advocated for using more of the pan space (which seems more natural in my mind) to allow things like leads to have their own room. Could you do a video on the pros and cons, or when one may be more appropriate than the other based on genre or style?
Hi Miami. May I ask what meter type you are using in this video? Peak? RMS? Digital VU? Or something else? Thank you very much for the brilliant content. Keep up the good work.
Hey Miami! Great video. This question is unrelated to the video, When it comes to Bass tones using JW BG Bass, do you find your crossover frequency before feeding your signal into it? I’ve done each method separately but not both. I didn’t know if JW Bass did this automatically (getting rid of the middy mids), or if we need to do that processing ourselves. As always, thanks!
Nice content, as usual my friend! I have a question.. Before pulling up the faders (or doing with faders at zero, then bringing them down), do you do some kind of gain staging on the individual tracks? I mean, leaving all tracks and busses with the “same” volume, and then doing the balance with the faders? I’ve heard that having all tracks between -12 to -6, is a great starting point to level the gain of each track, then pulling all faders down and bringing each one to the mix as you did.. I know there are many ways to do it, sometimes youtube confuses us more than give us a solution! LOL! Cheers from Brazil! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Tbh, this never really matters to me. But -12 is a great starting point. As long as you’re mixing into busses and limiters you eventually just end up with 5 or 6 faders anyways -Miami
this is exactly how i mix. get drums and bass locked in first. then bring in guitars. then vocals. the only thing i didnt do was mix the vocals against themselves. this came at the right time for me. i look forward to getting the JST maximizer soon. are there any information on the JST EQ though? all the features etc?
Miami. How would you maximise your Subs if you limit them? 🥁 💥😆. Serious question now: Do you add reverb and delay to the vocal double or just Fx on the main one and let the double reinforce? 🎤
I promise, this changes EVERY TIME! Like, sometimes it’s a vocal you really want to shine so you put the effects on the double. Other times the vocalist may not be that great so you’re trying to create some washy ambience to make the details of the performance not be as noticeable -Miami
When doing vocal doublers, do you just do one double track -9db? I've heard about doing a hard left double and a hard right double. What's the positives and negatives of that?
is that lead vocal ttrack that is panned stereo left and right...one single audio and doubled with multiplier? or 2 exact takes? or duplicated?..thanks.
Pan to get a wider spectrum - put some elements in their own spots on the panning settings. Allows you to create a virtual space for the elements to work together.
