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!
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.
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 👍🏼
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
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!
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!
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!
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?
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!!!
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!

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.
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!!!?
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
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.
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!
Great video. I’ve watched a lot of videos on this subject, but haven’t tried this method entirely.. My mixes sound “ok” but I want that strong low end.. Going to watch and try this on my next mix..
Say, broski. You think you could get an artist wit decent potential to record like a modern styled song (ie: Roddy, Rod, Cap, etc.) and Mix & Master it in that style? Beat, vocals and all? I’m trynna cracc down on the full process of a modern song (pretty sure a lotta dudes are lol). 1LuV, brudda💪🏽.
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..
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
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 🔥🔥🔥

dude! keeps this man alive by all means!
I do the same thing with the faders THEY MUST NEVER GO ABOVE THAT LINE!!!!
GrimeDUBBIN lmao😂
Lol this is a cardinal rule in my opinion! Never go above 0dB on any mixer channel 💯
@@Kampsy I agree

and did you leave the Kick & 808 on mono or do you switch back to stereo at the end before youre exporting the final track? greetings!
A pretty helpful tutorial thanks man
If I wanted to raise volume without the fader, id throw an FL EQ on it and use the master band🤷🏾♂️ but I usually use that for samples and loops
Thanks bro I learned a new trick from you

The control the 808 trick can be done with fruity limiter ? Can the same technique be applied

both of them are just really good

Why do you sidechain with the parametric EQ and the peak controller? Why don't you use the fruity limiter for that?
here before the million!
let's go!
Yo how did you just move the clipper down in the master chain like that..I need to learn that shortcut...

How do you decide when to put in mono vs stereo?
Would a dynamic eq be good for the 808 to control that one frequency ?
