Quick Tip: Select your Instruments/Drums/FX(Dont assign to mixer Track). Select all of them and Press Control + L. This Shortcut will autoname and autoassign your Stuff to the Mixer Channels.
I used to do it the same way but if you want to get the most control out of the faders you should put a volume plugin on the end of the chain on every track and bring down the volume so you can then bring the fader back up to the line and then fine tune closer to the line and even going above it if you need to raise the volume slightly. Because the faders are easier to control close to the line.
I mix professionally every day, for big and small labels in almost every popular genre today, and yet this video taught me a whole whole lot, thank you man, you real!
can you put off to the side or something the hot keys you're pressing like when you shift (like if you just hold shift lol) all the knobs in the mixer at once to help us newbs out?
At what db should each sound in your beat be at... should you ever raise your db+ or always lower db-negative... example like should my melody be 3 db clap 4 db kick 6 db... what's the best level's!!!?
Bros sharing all the secret sauce thank you 🙏 👌🏾👌🏾 I’ve been making beats for like six or so month and I’ve been trying to figure out why all of my beats come out either super quite or super loud and distorted I’m sharing this to my friends for sure
im at -0.3 dB but only at round about 10 LUFS what exactly do i need to change to get to 11-12 without loosing that - 0.3 dB? Awesome video! Ur the goat!
Yeah!! This is Great! Really like your videos, I learn so much from them. You're a natural teacher. Tack LS. Question. Where in the chain, or how you say, should you put the EQ? Before all reverbs, compressors and such, or at the end, or does it even matter?
Martin Karlsson thank you! So a good rule of thumb is to have subtractive EQ first, then compression then additive EQ after. You’re getting rid of the frequencies you don’t want the compressor to accent even more. Mixing is all preference though, but most engineers to subtractive first
1:00 headroom 1:40 EQ 2:00 decapitator 2:30 leveling 4:00 whole mix in mono 6:30 low mid 500 to 600 cut 9:00 s1 stereo widener 10:00 guitar reverb and delay 11:00 Kick G Clip 12:00 KICK AND 808 SIDECHAIN 15:50 volume 17:00 soft clipper tryna organize top comment cause i gon be here a while lmao
Sound Selection, u have to pick a kick that hits hard from the start. Turn up the velocity of ur kick and sett the right level of volume on the mixer then start to increase the volume on the others sounds 👍🏽🔥. If u want something to be lauded u most make the others sounds to be quieter.
Please you should do a video explaining that sidechain you did with the EQ, and pros and cons about it please because i didnt understand too much, im new to this, thanks!
the hats sound dope in this beat. do you have any tips or tools that could help me with mixing a Hi-Hat that don't work in a beat. the majority of my hi-hats in my beats sound loud and are in the front of all of the other sounds in the beat or, they are so quiet that they don't exist.
Mannnn U Giving the $auce....... I also notice the very first time you played the beat it sounded good already b4 the clean up! Sound selection is paramount!!! Thank u King!
If I have the velocity all the way up on kicks n 808s, and it clips on the master channel. Do I turn it down from the channel rack until it's not clipping or the post fader
Channel rack and velocity are before plugins. Channel fader is post plugins. If it’s a one shot sample, the velocity just plays as a volume knob pretty much. With multi shot samples (like a drum sampler, or let’s say keyscape for a piano, there are multi samples assigned to one note so that when you play different velocities it triggers different recorded samples of the same note... this giving you a real feel.) BUT with an 808 , kick, snare sample (one shot) we all use, the velocity will always be a “volume” knob because it is just triggering that same 1 Wav. File
Hey man, I just wanna take a moment and thank you. Cz you cant imagine how your videos have helped me in my production. Wanna tell you something, I submitted my one beat to one artist in his beat critics. He heard my beats and said that this needs a lot of mixing. I was like dude, I have to get rid from this shit, I started surfing here and there. Frome udemy to youtube. And in the end of the day, I found your video series. You cant imagine, How my beats are no changed. From muddy to Crispies Nd fucking Clear. Huge s/o to you man! Thank you!
Dont know how I missed this such a great video bro....love this and should make it a series...not that you havent already shown us but as you've said every beat is different, different frequencies and instruments or percussion, should really think about making this a series, about to share this with a new producer right now....we need to get you over 100k ASAP BRO!!!
aight damn. this video helped me out a lot. Just tried to implement some of the stuff from this video and it made my mix a lot cleaner and easier to work with. Like I never really used to even use those volume knobs on the channel rack, but I have been seeing a lot of people doing it lately. Imma start doing that for sure. Thanks for the video!
Bro don’t think I’m crazy, but I swear drums sound better coming out of FL then any other daw. I produce in Logic Pro and have always noticed a different tonality to the way the program processes the sample file. I looked it up and its a huge discussion on Reddit and turns out I wasn’t wrong at all! Tons of other producers noticed it too and made a list of all the major daws and described the tonality of how the internal processors render and read files, each having their own unique characteristic with their information output processing 🤷♂️ They claimed FL Studio to render the loudest and produce the most pleasing harmonic distortion when pushed hard. I noticed that when you first played the unmixed beat I had the same headphones I produced with on today and have never heard any MASTERED beats sound like that.ever. It had this tone I can’t describe like a thickness and meanness to it that logic just lacks. (I had just been watching multiple different logic tutorials from multiple creators before this video and my ears were attuned to the tone of the software and instantly could tell the difference, #lookitup #imnotcrazy
Hi man ! Hope u alright ! Just wanted to know where could I get the drum kit you used in this video ? I looked for it on your website but couldn't find it anywhere :( cheers !
Got 1 question: Why didnt you use any (Bus) compression in this tutorial, or mixed in busses? I thought they're really important steps in Mixing too? thanks in beforehand
That peak controller side gain 808+kick automation for rq frequency ducking was one of the most handy dandy tricks I’ve learned in a minute and been producing for quite a while now. Can always learn something new great tip 👍🏼
In layman's terms 😀 what setting/mixing you do to get the hi-hats to sound that way? I know it's popular now, is there only one way to get that affect sound in the hi-hats? Thanks..
hey, longtime fan here man .. i need help. just followed this tutorial and my mix sounds good.. but its so quiet. (same peak as yours) On my old mix i leveled hot (kick at 0, 808 at -3 etc) and its so much louder. anyway to go around it? i like how the mix sounds but i want as loud as possible, thanks if u ever see this
I put reverb and delay on my hi hats and throw camel crusher on my kicks but that's just a few tricks that I do and I make sure my mix is between -6 and -3 not going above -3 leaving enough headroom for the master and make sure to check my LUFS and RMS level with the plugin SPAN( It's free) I like to have my LUFS/RMS level at around 8-10
@@Antweezy I tried that out and it works like a charm I turned it down to 50 percent and added camel crusher(british clean) preset thanks for giving me some extra sauce bro 🔥🔥🔥
I been using some of your sauce man (adding my own herbs and spices tho of course) and I gotta say I appreciate it, still got a long way to go, clearly, I get so caught up on how the sound feels in the car especially! You’ve definitely inspired great changes and realizations. This is a mix before deliberately applying ideas from this channel: soundcloud.com/nunbuticebeats/jazzy-3 And this is a mix after: soundcloud.com/nunbuticebeats/exposuree All in all, I do want to say , I loved how they sounded while mixing tho they still don’t feel right in my car to me, maybe it’s me? Any suggestions on a fuller mix would be appreciated from anyone who sees this and has and idea of what my perceived problem is! Thanks again for sharing another dope video!
New subscriber. This is good content. Been making music for well over a decade, but I've always struggled with mixing. 🙄 Looking forward to watching more of these.
