For whatever reason, seeing you demonstrate these ideas with props and markers/paper has helped me finally understand phase cancelation! Using things to explain concepts outside of the DAW before diving into it makes me think about it differently. You do such a great job explaining things!! Thank you!

And this is the best illustration I found to describe how to glue your bass and low end; I explain in this RU-vid video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iVxIX2dBbP4.html

@liteningstrike12 Год назад

Great vid and very well explained! Being self taught and doing music prod as a hobby, so many youtube videos tell you "rules" like "the bass should be mono" or "lowpass everything" but don't tell you why. I knew phase cancellation was a thing, but not how to avoid it other than to avoid certain methods of widening the stereo image (which limits creativity). I'm a very visual learner and don't have the experienced ear that seasoned producers do, so when you showed the difference in the signal before / after compression and when you replaced the fundamental that was especially helpful for me. Cheers and keep up the great content!

@mcheremnov10 Год назад

@eferg16 Год назад

I've heard people explain the problem, but you're the first person who offered a simple explanation of what to do about it AND WHY. You are so legit. I appreciate you immensely. Thank you.

@R1PPA-C Год назад

This is such a better way to explain how to address issues with production... These techniques can be passed across so many issues, unlike most "how to self help" videos which give generic advice as if they're a one size fits all solution, this gets right to the core, and it's also just addressed an issue I've been having recently with my mid / side eq on my bass, thanks once again Alice ❤️

@alexyoung3986 Год назад

Another good thing to think about is always checking the mono compatability of your whole track doing an A - B test because most club sound systems are mono. If stuff is out of phase or the whole track has lots of stereo then it could sound amazing on headphones or speakers, but the moment you play it out on a big sound system it'll start phasing and you lose whole chunks of sound Also if you're using the high pass and low pass technique to replace the sub bass with a sine wave then it's generally best to do it in parallel by using groups in the chain, same way she did with the EQ3, and using tasteful amounts of distortion on the sub to provide extra harmonics that fill the space between the two sounds. Main reason I recommend going parallel rather than going for seperate tracks is to prevent your project getting too messy, but it also means you can easily add effects to the high end and low end at the same time. Great video as always Alice!!

@JohnDoe-ni9zm Год назад

@lennartstein3024 Год назад

saying that most club sound systems are mono is big misinformation.

@alexyoung3986 Год назад

@@lennartstein3024 it's what we've been taught in my uni course. I've also got a few friends who own sound systems, they're all mono. maybe it's different in other countries, but most club systems in the UK are mono. the key word there is most. it makes sense too, you don't want one side of the room to have a different listening experience than the other side of the room

@3rdStoreyChemist Год назад

@@alexyoung3986 Still not quite correct to say ‘most’. Where mono is mostly used is in venues with strange shapes or large enough to require multiple speakers across the venue to keep a consistent level throughout. A large venue with a large stage and therefore a wide stereo field doesn’t specifically require outright summing to mono, some width can be retained. Overall I’ve found anywhere with a very obvious “this is the stage and this is the sound system” type layout to be stereo and could pan parts if I wished, regardless of frequency, whereas somewhere that doesn’t really have a dedicated place for performers or DJ’s is generally mono. Even been to shows using surround setups.

@MakeYourTransition Год назад

@@3rdStoreyChemist whilst true, you can’t depend on all sound systems being the same as of course they aren’t. Therefore mono compatibility is still hugely important, and not just for club sound either - FM radio still happens to be a thing, and stereo / mono FM signals are also unstable and can’t be depended on. Therefore, you compromise with having mono in the right areas in the low end, but also with enough width and stereo information in other areas in order to ensure performance on as many playback systems and situations as possible. Mono bass is also important for vinyl cutting, as whilst you obviously can have stereo vinyl cut, too much stereo information can cause grooves to be cut too wide, and can lead to poor stylus tracking, more skips etc. Regardless of what’s on the other end, a good mono compatible mix is still required, and will be for the foreseeable future’

Good content, explained the problem and demonstrated how to solve it, perfect. Going to use this video with my padawans, because people sometimes struggle to understand my tech-nerd train of thought when it comes to basic principles of audio engineering, thanks a lot 😅

@Enitoni2 Год назад

The trick with removing the fundamental is something I have been doing for a long time, and it's really cool that someone else had the same idea! It's very nice to use wavetable plugins like Vital and Serum for bass, because they let you do this and you can create really good sounding bass patches that translate well to mono. I think the biggest point is that for the absolute tightest bass you want your sub frequencies to always be mono, and usually the most clean of a sine wave as possible. Obviously, this is sometimes left in as a creative decision so there are no hard rules of course.

@D-One Год назад

An easy way to explain cancellation is to say the opposites cancel each other the same way that -1 + 1 = 0. That trick to totally remove the fundamental in xerum is awesome, thanks! Oh, also... in some genres like DNB often the volume variation from phase cancellation is actually very desirable, so it's not always a problem. Cheers!

I, for example, destroyed my existence with excessive perfectionism that often ended up blocking me. I just discovered this channel: I signed up immediately!

@Vintsent 3 месяца назад

Amazing video ! Thanks a lot for all of thèse video 😉🙏 Really love all these tutorials, keep on going In the hard way to stabilize the sub frequencies, why I should remove the fondamental if just after I set an EQ up with an high pass ? Is the same thing no ? 🤔 Or mainly as you said to avoid the phasis pb, because when you put an EQ we create phasis move ?

@yesthisisdonut Год назад

you could also just turn down the unisono width in serum if you actually want a wobblier low end (sometimes desirable with reeses actually) but also keep it mono. you can also use the high pass filter with key tracking in serum (although removing fundamental is the best way) if you want to go the old school way but also have the filter move with the pitch, imo that's a bit better than using a static filter :)

@EVILJAMARR Год назад

Glad I found this! So helpful. Clean up the low end and the highs start to open up on their own

@Alckemy Год назад

Something important to note is why you would pick one way or the other and it usually applies to what you want to do with your low end in the first place. The most typical use case is when you’re using a reese bass and want to preserve the movement from phase cancellation. Even though the sun frequencies come in and out, there is a beating pulse that can sometimes be desirable. In this case go for the soft fix issues. The easier route on the other hand is the hard method because it guarantees a solid low end. One thing I’d keep in mind is trying match your mod and high layer with the appropriate low end wave form (you don’t have to, just makes the entire sound more cohesive sometimes) Great video and demonstrations^

@shoepedals Год назад

Another thing to watch out for (especially if using analog synths) is if the start of the notes are in phase. Meaning the oscillators may be drifting in and out of tune, but looking at the waveforms and just sliding the clips slightly to line up the rising or falling edges at the start of the part can help correct a lot of the phase issues. Then you can also apply these techniques after if needed. This also works between multiple instruments. Like you can examine if the first peaks of the kick and bass are aligned with one another, for example, so that one is not pulling away from the other on the transient.

@jorisdemunck9406 Год назад

You can also split the sound in low and high freqs. If you want no phasing in the lows take a utility and select left or right instead of mono, in this way you get completely get rid off the phase cancelation and you keep the character of the sound intact.
