Most music producers don't share there skills and ideas in youtube video but in this chennal sikky share his skills and ideas for free in youtube videos that's totally thankful guy let's hit 100k subscribe for sikky beats this time
Literally perfect video 🔥🔥 People only hate Fruity Limiter because they don't know how to use it 😂 It controls the low end much better than a soft clipper right off the bat.. The difference is subtle but there and is huge in a car
Couldn't say it better myself. Fl Studio is too powerful yet we're distracted by the bells and whistles of new plugins to bother learning it to the fullest extent. a light low cut before any distortion will help tighten up the low end 👀
👀 I knew I forgot some of these tricks. Thanks again for spilling some sauce 🔥🔥. I kinda liked chain 2. The Ozone one sounds good as well, but you might need to tweak it a bit to satisfy your ears though
What I heard is that chain 1 is the most compressed, chain 2 is the most punchy for me from that midrange punch and chain 3 is similar to chain 2 with the punch more in the lower end, but more compressed. I prefer chain 2 for the punch. Chain 3 is good for low end punch and some compression. Chain 1 is good for that mike dean full sound and more instrument/synth based then drum punch heavy style. Pretty dope video!
AUDEZE ...this was very informative and i appreciate your channel bro, keep doing this amazing work. I wish i could hear the difference through those headphones, you seemed to be having eargasms😅
just a question.. might sound weird but .. if i have a oneshot of key f and i want to use it as key "a" so do i need to pitch it to key "a" and use it on piano roll at key a or what exactly i need to do ive been confused.... help me with one shot and how exactly i can tune it to different keys and use it in piano roll... including 808s and stuff
By right clicking on "F" on Fl Studio Sampler keyboard you will have tuned the key to C. By doing this you tell Fl that the root note is F. Onces it tuned to F you can move your melody up or down to the key of A
I don't put anything on the master or use fx buses.. I'ma start fooling around with these techniques, because I occasionally run into low and high freq issues. I'm assuming a high end shelf on the master will brighten up the overall tone of the beat? I'm not sure why I would cut the low ends, as I already use fl parametric eq 2 to cut the lows on individual sounds. (And to cut the highs, if needed.) This was super helpful, and I appreciate it Sikky!
Glad to to help mayne. Yes a high shelf will brighten up the overall beat. but note that if you're hihats are nice and loud it will make them even louder as hihats mostly live in that area of the frequency spectrum. Sidechain, optimal phase alignment between kicks and 808s, and minimal instrumentation in the lowend is how I'd get a clean bottom end on my mix.
@@MvnStn I usually pitch anything melodic aswell as the 808 till I feel the kick and 808 sit nice together. If it doesn't work still change the 808 or kick. Helps to listen to the kick and 808 on loop and flip the phase on the kick in sampler track
@@SIKKYBEATS gotcha! i do the looping a lot for just this reason! ill pitch in the settings and also in the piano roll, if necessary. LOL dope thanks for the prompt reply!!
Chain b first....chain c second... My decision is based off of the clarity that the latter chains brought...I liked A but heard more muddiness when compared to the B and C....
@@SIKKYBEATS I agree great point....I can see where each would have its benefits depending on the genre, or style and instrumentation! I'm glad you said that bro👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💯
@arun ganesh Clipper: sharp blade that cuts only the peaks when they hit the ceiling Soft clipper: like a clipper but it starts cutting a touch earlier to make for a more "rounder" softer clip, but still only at the ceiling Drive/saturation: applies an adjustment to a larger range of the signal, but still does more of its work at the top close to the ceiling Distortion: drive/saturation applied hard by pushing the signal towards the ceiling, thus causing extreme saturation that sounds distorted
as long as you are not going over 0 you are ok. but you can combine Chain 1 and the limiter tip from chain 2 and get great results. hope that made sense?
AUDEZE :) great tips. Personally I like chain B better. To me it sounds cleaner than A and louder than C, but all 3 do a pretty good job. Thanks Sikky!
Hey man, I haven't done this for anyone in a couple of years, but perhaps you might be interested in doing a one on one class with me. You can email me if this is something you'd be interested in doing!
@@SIKKYBEATS Since no one answered, I will. It feels like the bass jumps out at you. With 1 it's like it just fills the room. It's not as noticeable thru headphones though. At least that's how it sounds with my setup.
Yo, the first chain is fire! I have ozone, I buy it every month on splice, but I only use it for the « true peak » fonction I don’t like it that much, stock plugins all day, You should do a video about patcher, it’s a beast
I like using the boost without the clipping engaged, so I can boost harder into the soft clipper. Soft clipping is better than hard clipping to my ears. Try it out, you might agree

Mix 2 was much better in the video. Especially if I’m on my phone
Mix 2👊
You know when its that good you have to go to bed just to wake up so this video can save the day!
Great content like always !! LOVE from mtl
Fellow Canadian! whats good!
Sikky kills it on a daily
you gotta do a tutorial on sound design, ive been really needing to learn how to make stuff like the zay and spinz 808 in serum
New video!

a was my fav mix, great video btw 🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed!😁😁
This wat u was waiting my brother 💕
Glad to help 🤝
AUDEZE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I use Ozone's master assistant and mess with some settings stereo shape sounds and it sounds dope
Thankhs for making this video (about the mix levels and master track). Soooo many people needed to hear this. Some people don't listen to me lol
I think repeated videos from the creator communities on these topics would really help!
AUDEZE
intresting pieces of info. am gonna use the fruity limiter from now on, also am intretsed in Ozone 9 and the auto mastering feature, thats cool
its dope dude! well worth $20
I love Chain 2
You're the best. Thank you!
most def not trying 2 run into da wall god vid my dude
“Lil dance for the mastering gods” that’s hilarious dude
😂😂GOOD TINGS!
My guy. This is a great video. Literally learned three concepts that I roughly understood. Now I know a lot more about. Very cool subscribe
Glad it was helpful! thanks for the sub.
Best of the beat bro!!
i love chain #2
audeze
chain nr2 is the best :)

you've been crushing it my man, keep it up :)

You gotta change your root note to F into the latest tab of the sampler menu
The crank one -> right click on F note at the bottom
By right clicking on "F" on Fl Studio Sampler keyboard you will have tuned the key to C. By doing this you tell Fl that the root note is F. Onces it tuned to F you can move your melody up or down to the key of A
I fricken love you sikky!!
I love your videos!! Keep the content coming!!
Chain no.2 because it sounds settled!!
another great tutorial
Thanks my man!
Chain b is my fav
Parallel Compression. Boom
B was hittin for me

@@SIKKYBEATS dope, thanks for sharing! by aligning the kicks and 808's do you mean making them sit well together? either by pitching or eq'ing?

Limiter gang
Chain 2, cleanest imo
I think the EQ helped clear it up a little. only did 1-2 db moves.
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Cool sharing
Chain B for me
What did you hear that you liked bro?
What kit did you use for this beat ?
I design my own sounds, you can try them out using the link in the description
B FOR ME........👌🏾💥💯
Chain b first....chain c second...
My decision is based off of the clarity that the latter chains brought...I liked A but heard more muddiness when compared to the B and C....
The cool bit is, you can take a little bit from each method and get the best of all worlds!
@@SIKKYBEATS I agree great point....I can see where each would have its benefits depending on the genre, or style and instrumentation! I'm glad you said that bro👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽💯
If you put the input up, do you have to make the overall beat less louder?
Simple answer no.
Only did this because I wanted to show you guys the difference between soft cliping and no soft cliping.
@arun ganesh Clipper: sharp blade that cuts only the peaks when they hit the ceiling
Soft clipper: like a clipper but it starts cutting a touch earlier to make for a more "rounder" softer clip, but still only at the ceiling
Drive/saturation: applies an adjustment to a larger range of the signal, but still does more of its work at the top close to the ceiling
Distortion: drive/saturation applied hard by pushing the signal towards the ceiling, thus causing extreme saturation that sounds distorted
But does it not clip in chain 1? No soft clipper after limiter gain? Or did you not go over 0 db?
as long as you are not going over 0 you are ok. but you can combine Chain 1 and the limiter tip from chain 2 and get great results. hope that made sense?
@@SIKKYBEATS yessir🙏 But do you not recommend the waveshaper - bus compressor technicque anymore btw?
AUDEZE :) great tips. Personally I like chain B better. To me it sounds cleaner than A and louder than C, but all 3 do a pretty good job. Thanks Sikky!
Thanks mayne! I think the compression brings them all together nicely. Its a subtle difference, good for you for hearing the difference!
Which drums did you use in this beat. They are crazy
New from the upcoming Monarch drum kit.👀keep an eye out for the beta kit coming
just what I need 👌🙏
Thanks my guy🙏🏽
Chain C for sure.
Chain C clean and punchy
Impressive 🔥👍
CHAIN B was the best out of the 3
Good tings
All the tings
How can I get in contact with you? I'm looking for someone to mix n master my beats

@@SIKKYBEATS sounds good. Do I use your "SeriousEnquires" email?
Who do i speak to at Audeze??

🤝🤝🤝 can't wait to see which way the final vote is. What did you like about it?
@@SIKKYBEATS Since no one answered, I will. It feels like the bass jumps out at you. With 1 it's like it just fills the room. It's not as noticeable thru headphones though. At least that's how it sounds with my setup.
@@SIKKYBEATS it's talks I feel it fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒 and my heart bouncing it's literally dope I like it so much
thanks for this bro, it helped a lot. I just wanted to know, if I'm sending a beat to an artist, should I send it without the mastering?
yes
send both copies
Wow I have to get those headphones!!
“checks wallet”
Balance: 🕳 🦗 🤦🏾♂️🤧
🔥🔥👌🏻
Bro Bro Bro, why didn't you make this tutorial before 😭😭
Chain 2
I'd love to collaborate with you one of these days!! I make fire 🔥🔥 ass Beats!!!

Real one 🙏
MVP 🙏😎

You should do a video about patcher, it’s a beast
Patcher is super powerful lowkey!
Chain B ''AUDEZE''
damn i never know this guy uses FL Studio let me watch some more
Ayo when’s the vid with Simon 👀
Havent figure my schiit out yet😋. Probably before the end of this year tho

Gang📈😊
You forgot to select "clip" under the boost knob. No wonder it wasn't doing anything 😆

Yow sikky you the cool guy, would love if you make a remix of one of my beat
Love from africa, (tanzania)
Sorry😌 I don't do dat

Chain B.
What'd you like about it? couple other people said the same!
For $1300 those headphones better smack😳
They smacking bro. No cap, being 100% honest. Listened to Drakes nothing was the same, had me do a lil scream. Not even ashamed to admit it .

i like b

C is much cleaner to me
blooper is mono only, you could add some kind of stereo hardware or plugin after it to get it wider! I like microshift from soundtoys
