Just to clarify in simple terms because everyone is asking: "The Board" is the console the physical mixing board with the faders and knobs. "In the Box" is your software DAW i.e. Protools, Logic, FL Studio/Fruity Loops, Reason, Studio One etc.
King Stabber i know right... i was scratching my head like... is he talking to people who are already advanced cus they dont need to hear it, and if hes not then he needs to explain.
@@DavidMohMusic its called in the box ffs! Dont say he is tryna sound smart just cause you dont understand it!! If you dont know what the board is vs in the box, then you should go watch guides on how to mix and dont listen to pros yet
First time I've ever heard someone describe mixing with outboard gear as "being inside the box, controlling the computer from the inside". I LOVE that.
I'm guessing 👎🏽 21 is ppl that wanted specific settings and plugins... but the info in thjis is by far better... this is a mentality that you can add to your thought arsenal when mixing.. 🙌🏽 👏🏽 🙏🏽 👍🏽
Great Tips, As Allways. I would compare UVI plates to any reverb on insane mode its the cleanest to my ears by far. only downside is the simple filter. it would be more flexible if it was multiband. but still the reverb i find myself going back to.
I am a great defender of hardware mixes, full OTB setup etc like i have myself. But these days I have been listening a bit to MixedByAli's work, and also Leslie Brathwaite's (who mixes ITB with UAD, protools and Symphony alone). Both sound great of course, they are magicians. But the amount of clarity in Leslie mixes really hit me hard... I don't know if Leslie sums analog from the Symphony - but it made me believe that nowadays a good digital setup with top DSP is as every bit as powerful soundwise as the classic SSL + analog outboards, possibly surpasses in many aspects. Another story is if it is a different experience to use one or the other, but soundwise... damn, digital is the present already.
I'm scanning the site right now and I feels like the full video for this disappeared. I even searched for it and everything. Is there a reason it's not there anymore?
Bruh Ali made a classic, Section 80, with a pirated FL Studio and MP3 beats. If you got a good mic you can make radio ready songs in audacity with free plugins. I'm a let you in on a little secret and that's all these streaming services, and soundcloud and MP3s cut off after 15,000khz so all these extra expensive condensor mics and great equipment aren't as a big of a deal because nobody is really listening to true high fidelity music anyway. Kanye was re recording and finishing Ye literally like an hour before the listening party in Ozone 8 i think lol.
Billie Eilish and Finneas did a Grammy winning album from the bedroom she grew up in with VERY limited analog gear. Sitting on the bed she went through puberty writing one of the most iconic records of the decade. Everything is possible with todays software.
So he's saying that he puts all his vocals, even his lead, in stereo??? because s1 is a stereo plugin... or does he bus them to a bus that's in stereo while the tracks remain mono?... I'm just trying to understand which tracks remain in mono and those that don't. Thanks.
All of the vocals remain in mono but you can still put stereo effects on a mono signal. But, Yeah.. probably a bus, because all buses are stereo anyway
What tune is that!! 🤨 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Anybody? Ali Will one day be viewed as a pioneer of this current west coast hip-hop Era. Quality thoughtful music will always stand the test of time.
I like to call it "controlling space between the left and right speakers", making certain things sound bigger between the speakers or placing those in a specific place between the speakers..
People hate fl studio but nothings wrong with it ... it’s all up to YOU... you wanna make a beat that sounds like a 5 year old made it ? That’s on you... can also make music that sounds better than everything else out lol up to you
OMG "in the box" means in a DAW (digital audio workstation). Stop asking that question. DAWs are reaper, fl studio, studio one, ableton, reason, logic pro, cakewalk, etc.
SMH I can't believe people are seriously asking that question lol but yeah it just means what you said no analog gear at all using only your computer or in simpler terms your PC is the box and you don't use anything but that and whatever software you're using 🤣
Don't tell me to think lol smh. It's not a crystal clear connection ("in the box" to laptop) for someone who never took a course and does this shit by ear
in the box is solely in the computer , they call it box because of the shape of them old computer monitors *Edit - now that term refers to mixing solely using a computer/laptop and plugins as opposed to using outboard gear.
In the box doesn't refer to the computer it refers to the interface you use to send the signals to the computer. They are usually box shaped. Like for example the Mbox from avid. Or the hilo from lynx.
Ali's cool & no doubt talented AF but I've noticed he's very frugal with concrete knowledge for example: giving youngin's in the game your vocal chain is huge, I guess his argument is to learn it yourself and use whatever technique works and sounds best for you but I've found that when you have a clear idea of what the pro's use and what settings they have set they can really learn why they have them set to those specific settings ... in person I bet he's very generous with info but literally all the interviews I've tuned into he gives generic answers to specific questions to dodge giving the "secrets" out..
Still was the least insightful video ever and super vague but I was still able to know exactly what he meant. I did recently check a chat with Mike Dean tho. Using stereo field enhancing plug ins on reverbs and delays really makes sense. Especially when u hear travis scott and wonder "How the fuck do I sound like that" you start to realize. "OOOOHHHH" lol.
And still no “Mixing with Ali” or “Mixing with Guru” no point to pay for this nonsense with all the sauce online on RU-vid free. Joshua mix bus already on RU-vid any good things to learn are all for free already... Just look for it you will find...
Don't listen to this chump. Step 1. If you have a condenser mic you're going to want to plug it in and out several times while Phantom power is turned on to get it warmed up. Step 2. Have the singer sing into it but make sure they avoid using their diaphragm at all costs. A nice coca cola always helps get the voice ready. Step 3. You're gonna want to take 1khz and raise it by at least 12db to get that nice Blink 182-tone. Step 4. Avoid compression at all costs. Real singers can get it right without all this studio trickery. Step 5. Slap an emulation of a concert hall on there and blast that shit. And, done! Good job champ. Did you mix that, or was that Chris Lord Alge himself?
