Bro.. I’ve seen a lot of engineers and met the biggest engineers on earth… I even met Luca before. Luca is genuinely the best I ever seen. This guy is legitimately next level 💯
That’s true, I would trust an engineer in the business before a bedroom boy. My mattering sits suck though and I am cutely following a 3 time Grammy winner producer on you tube
the pro mb step sounded amazing and was a great improvement, but i did not like the space control step at all. it made it incredibly thin and tinny, and it sounded better when you bypassed it 😬
whats the reasoning behind using a sidechain to pump up the mid frequencies? is it to make the side chain more tighter/more upfront? cant that be done in the mix instead with certain elements?
it can be done in the mix but doing it on your master not only tightens the sidechain but also glues the elements together in a really nice way. your kick's body will be sitting in that range so your kick will gain more presence but everything else will also be pushed closer to it hence it creates glue. You wouldn't really get this effect doing it on everything individually in the mix, but I'd be a bit more subtle than he is here if I had control over the mix too
Ok, so I have been using your last technique you taught us where you expand the highs and lows and compress the mids. I have been using that technique for awhile now and it is great! But then I see this and you are expanding the midrange now with no explanation on why you have changed your method. It’s super confusing honestly if you can elaborate!!
Every song needs different treatment. All the different techniques you see are right for the song not for every song. The key is the gathering of knowledge and the skill is when to use them and when to not.
there's no one size fits all solution you are approaching music like a robot. feel what the song requires make adjustments that are tailored to that need.
-4.5 rms... what if in the future better sound systems that can translate details become more affordable and all these loudness era mixes made to suit our current technology end up sounding like trash to us in 20 years, because we squashed all our mixes 😂 The same way we look at different eras in the past as having a certain lofi sound, this era is creating its own lofi type of squashed sound
@@codygleason1619 so basically, expansion means he widened the mix with the MB's stereo enhancing function?(basically multiband mid/side volume processing) and then he sidechained expansion to the bass drum. did i get it right?
@@2bepower1 no!!! Expanders are the opposite of compressors, so when the signal reaches the threshold it "expand" the volume. Multiband compressors have nothing to do with stereo image 💌❤
yes, the midrange (and especially the vocals) get brought up in level when the Kick and Bass hit and the added gain is relative to the level in the lowend. With this the vocals stay up front when the kick and bass hit but the overall balance is not permanently changed, like it would happen with a conventional EQ. There is a vid here on YT where he explains it in more detail.
@immtonmischer that would be great if you could tell us the name of that vid! I assumed it was meant to pop up after the attack so it gives it more perceived dynamics
@@Joshh.K " Luca Pretolesi Final Mixing / Mastering Tutorial (J Balvin & Willy William) " watch from 6:40 here he uses the same technique in mixing on a vocal, sidechained to the kick. It's more precise then on the 2-Bus but the same principles apply.
If you're using FL studio there should be a way to change the size of it using the dropdown box in the top left of plugins. I remember doing the same with Serum but I can't remember if it was a setting within serum or FL itself
yeah, sadly... that's on the platforms, musicians and producers may have other needs and prefer to stay true to those even if it means getting their mix destroyed by certain streaming platforms
It’s easy to do but it’s pointless having it that loud, The top 10 tracks in the charts are ranging from -6 to -9 LUFS, which works out at about -9 to -12 RMS.
@@najee2123 when you get the ears and knowledge to see that these reels from this guy are complete content-driven BS to sell you courses later, you'll know your comment makes no sense. Cheers!
Yeah I'm sure you have better ears than a literal professional who does this for a living meanwhile you're trying to judge through phone speakers and a RU-vid comment 😂
@@thesoundmajors9858 is it too bright or not buddy? Is this video informative at all or not? Come on, use your own mind to judge. Don't turn it off just because it's a professional. I'm a professional too, why doesn't my opinion count? If it's bright on RU-vid, you can imagine how freaking bright it would sound in the project itself. But again, for you to conclude what I just said, you have to know anything about mixing, somehow.
All this taught you was how to go and immediately buy these plugins so you can instantly get your track to sound like his. News Flash…without the room, the equipment and the literal YEARS of experience…your track is not going to sound like his. Let’s also consider the mix started off great (BEFORE the master) so very little probably has to be done, but this was nothing more than an ad for plugins trap. 🤦🏻♂️ stop preying on new producers. DO BETTER
