There is a lot of confusing information out there when it comes to how you should go about cleaning up a muddy mix. In the tips that follow, we will go over how to clean up your mix to make sure you get a crystal clear mix with great definition and pumping low end!
There is also a cheat sheet to go with this video, so make sure you download that so you can have these tips on hand all the time!
1. Great Production Creates Great Mixes
If you listen to The Beach Boys album ‘Pet Sounds’ you’ll hear a masterpiece of production! Due the limitations of tracks, only 4 or at most 8, when artists such as The Beatles or The Beach Boys made albums they had to shape multiple sounds and parts perfectly before they could bounce them together, parts and sounds could not be undone, so they had to be right! Recording the right sounds and parts that support each other is not only great production it, will also make the final mix much easier to do!
2. Using Virtual Instruments Gives Different Results Than Organic Instruments
Virtual Instruments Will Not Have the Huge Dynamic EQ issues that Organic instruments can have. Real, mic’d up instruments can have the issue of players moving so the mic placement varies, giving you wildly varying EQ (boominess from sound holes or F holes of some instruments) or overly dynamic performances. However, virtual instruments are perfectly recorded and can easily be manipulated, with basic, simple midi adjustments to sound like they have been consistently performed. With organic instruments you’re often going to find yourself applying more compression and corrective EQ, sometimes even using dynamic EQs or Multiband compressors.
3. Muddiness Comes from two main areas, firstly Low End Build Up.
Excessive low end is easy to fix with proper High Passing, decide what you want the real low end to be, is it a super low Sub Bass line with a Kick shelved around 100Hz, more of a thump? Or is it a huge low Sub Kick with a bass line sitting above it? Or is it both where a side chain compressor ducks the excessive low build up from two sources of low end hitting at the same time. Find the fundamental of sound, such the low end on your electric guitars and boost that area, cut immediately below it, bypass the EQ and you’ll realise that even though low end has been cut, the new EQ settings increase the fullness of the guitar sound but leave space for the Bass and Kick Drum to shine!
4. Second Area of Build Up: the Low Mids.
Drums in particular can get a lot of low mid build up. On their own, soloed that may not be that much of an issue. However, in a fairly dense track that will really add to the overall muddiness. Typically scooping out low mids of Toms, The Kick Drum (Bass Drum), Overheads and Room Mics at around 350hz (roughly an area between 250-450hz) with a fairly wide Q will really open up the drums leaving room for low mids on other instruments, such as guitars which benefit from the fullness of low mids.
Listen to your whole mix to find areas where low muds start to build up, don’t be afraid to high pass high lines that don’t need low end or low mids. Large amounts of Synth Pads and raked guitars so over do the Low Mid Area so be careful not to boost the low kids in every pad, string part or rhythm guitar!

Right back at ya Warren and Team ;0)
My top tip would be to give the most space to the most important element - usually the vocal(s). If the vocal is fighting with something else for space (distorted powerchord guitars are a prime offender), the vocal should usually "win" and the other part should yield space to it.
It doesn't have to be all the time - sometimes automating an EQ band down when the vocal is singing, and back up when it isn't, is the right thing.
This video looks much like the ones 2 or 3 years ago, in the sense that you look younger. Health wise you did something good. Keep it going. 2 months ago or so , you looked so tired in a video. Can t help to say it, i m a nutritionist and longevity buff :) Always nice to learn from you. I m also year 1 Sound Engineer in Manchester England (spirit studios). Thanks for everything. Our teachers know your channel & Dave Pensado channel. Btw Dave said he installed a basketball space outside the studio and he would go every 2 hours or so to move those muscles to stay healthy. Did you hear of this trick ? I think is very needed for mixing engineers/ producers. We sit too much.
@@SirEggbertfartalot aw schucks thanks ever so much my friend! You Rock my friend!!
@@OrgChromer thanks ever so much for sharing your insight!!
People, we need to start seriously filtering who we listen to when trying to learn something properly. On YT there are too many 'knowitall' beginners who pretend to know what they're doing. This channel for example for me is a true and reliable reference.
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate your kind words! I’m happy to be able to help
This channel also grew on me. I watched a lot of other channels. I am mostly a visual artist and a musician, making my own video game music for my small games and therefore I'm always looking for mixing and mastering tutorials. The same thing you describe can also be applied to the visual arts side of things on YT learning material. One can sense when you have found a source that suddenly feels honest and reliable. It's a feeling of someone having lots of knowlede and thought put into their craft and spent a lot of time with it, as well as how he presents this knowledge. Suddenly you feel trust and feel comfi to learn from him/her. These sources are not easy to find. I am so glad I now realized this channel is one of those sources.
warrren , mixbusTV, and Russian guy
I was saying this same thing just today
Agreed
Just want everyone to know this channel is awesome. I literally learned to mix from this guy in the last month or 2.
Wow!! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
I agree! Learned a lot of new tips and tricks from here and I love that it’s not ”HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT” but instead ”here is one way to do it, here is another”.
Im in sound engineering school/ university and i still learn more from this channel and interviews with mixing engineers. School will not make you good, believe me. Mix a lot.
Couldn't agree more!! Warren is a hero.
Warren, you're one of the few people on youtube that actually give proper advice on mixing using a variety of examples. Thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome!!
Warren: Handling 73 tracks like a pro.
Me: At the border of death trying to demistify the meaning of life juggling 5 tracks.
It's ok my friend! Sometimes 5 tracks with issues is much worse that 73 with little issues!
Its about knowing what you have on those 5 or 73 tracks and using the right tools to put them in their place in the mix. Youre in the right place though because Warren is better than most of my teachers I had in engineering school. He's had hits (I have trouble taking advice from people who havent proven they can make better records than me. Theres no issue here, a #1 hit with The Fray will suffice) and unlike a lot of people he clearly doesnt feel threatened by sharing his "secrets"...
It used to be the same for me. I can recommend establishing really good and - even more importantly - consistent shemes for coloring and grouping your tracks. I used to think coloring was more a fun thing for aesthetic reasons, but I was wrong. it honestly helps me so much now. I'm getting to a point where I halfway "hear colors" in my mixes. Meaning there's certain groups of instruments (the mid-rangy chord stuff for example) that's light green. Leads are dark green. Both are in the green instruments group (and bus). Obviously it doesn't matter which colors you choose personally. But when I notice a problem, I also have a feeling for which color of tracks I'm gonna look at to fix it. Which immediately narrows it down to usually a hand full at most.
Related to that: Invest the time to create a template. This makes it easier to stay consistent with track orders and colors (and associated mixing choices, obviously). For example my INST bus already high passed at 200Hz because I just know I will do something like that anyway. The time invested in a good template is returned *so* quickly.
I love the way you demonstrated this on a massively saturated mix with huge guitars and bass. So often people do tutorials on fairly thin clean mixes where it's difficult to hear the changes they make. Also like the fact that you aren't afraid to get aggressive with an EQ. So many people only ever advocate tiny tiny tweaks all the time. Keep up the great work! 👍
Point 1 is soooo important. This „fix it in the mix“ approach is annoying sometimes, it’s almost a religious belief in the power of plugins nowadays. How do they say? - Record as if there were no mixing and mix as if there were no mastering.
Thanks ever so much Mike! Agreed 100%! Getting it right at source, making great choices is very important indeed!!
@Sunny Ah Day thanks ever so much!
The only thing I fix in the mix is my timing which can be... terrible at times, so elastic audio helps!
And just clip gaining.
Fixing the actual sonic of my instrument just doesn't work!
Yes, I always learned (and still say), "garbage in, garbage out." I also love UBK's info on this topic - "the mix doesn't start after the recording is complete. It begins with the writing, pre-production and playing." Or, something like that haha Great vid, thanks!
@@DancinShoesDJ Yep I'm with you on that, Garbage in = Garbage out, it's a simple concept, and I stick to it as well ;0)
PEOPLE! Do you want better mixes?
The easiest way to do this....listen to this man. His advice will get you there.
Even with my very basic recording setup, Warren has taught me so much.
His methods are airtight and he knows his stuff. He's never lead me anywhere but down the road of better mixes.
Warren is the real deal.
A real pleasure watching a seasoned professional at work solving a mix puzzle.
I first thought the bass sounded too bright but then when I heard the mix altogether, was quite impressed with the result, for guitars too.
Thanks ever so much Heinrich!
I wish I had your videos as a guide back when I began making music. I always knew I have composing skills but lacked when it came to mixing and mastering. After watching tons of your videos I've jumped more steps forward in mixing than during the last 10 years. Many thanks, you are a great teacher and you seem very nice person. I promise to tell everyone to subscribe your channel if I ever get my foot in the music business.
I really enjoyed this lesson. My favorite part was boosting the fundamental and cutting with shelf near the same frequency.
I must say this: you are a true master. Everything you teach here is pure gold, because you give practical examples, not just theory. Keep up your great work, Warren!
Wow! Thanks Marcelo! You are very welcome
Felt that sub-bass in my bong, really cool experience.
I can't get enough from these amazing videos about solving muddyness in a mix and accomplishing a good sounding low end!! Love to hear your approach as always! Thank you!
I wish my teachers in school were this cool.
Thanks ever so much
The Pet Sounds insight was so wonderful. I never knew about that, but it makes so much sense.
Hi Terry Miller you’re very welcome my friend!!
I love your stuff! As a home DAW noodler, every video of yours is pure gold! I think ive learned everything i know so far from you and Recording Revolution. Thank you so much!
Cheers from Sweden!
Genius! I love how you're making room for the things you WANT to hear in certain frequencies by reducing it in things you DON'T want there.
This tutorial is a game changer, been struggling with a muddy mix and knew I had to address it, now I have new knowledge to get it sorted
Warren my mixed used to suck... now they just kind of suck.. but I’m learning so much from you I’m hoping in years to come I’ll listen back and be happy. All thanks to you. Legend.
Thanks ever so much for sharing Scott!
Sometimes it got to get worse before it gets better :)
Thank You! I taught audio at the college level for 25 years. Thank you for going deep into techniques-something you don't find enough of on the tube.
Man I really love your videos! One feels you are not saving any knowledge or tricks for yourself, rather giving it all and actually wanting people to learn, not caring just about the number of views. A rare thing this days, keep it up please!!
I'm just on a binge session at work absorbing tips as a complete beginner to music production! Love the way you present information and the wide range of topics you cover!
Wow! Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
Warren, Warren, Warren! Yet again you’re a cut above the rest! A huge thank you for posting amazing videos like this and all your work on TH-cam and the academy! You have helped me no end! I don’t need to look elsewhere to help me improve my mixes and to stop my current job and do mixing as a real job! Now to get some clients to help achieve that! Wish you were still in England so I’d have the chance to meet you and pick your brains more! My eternal gratitude, Brad
I do love hearing all the bottom end having its own space, what you did with high pass and a bump is what gives the kick its thump, guitars thickness, vocals low mid. Low mids are a tricky one as not all monitors have good forward low mids, or lacking low lows, so its common to hear error in those areas pushing more bass to hear the bottom which ends up being BOOMY! in the car speakers, or the low mids on an acoustic overpowers the car speakers but sounded ok on the monitors. Also room phase in the seating position, wherever that is on the EQ will end up being added, where it builds up being cut. I know I mixed to the room, every time I moved studio changed rooms my previous mixes sounded completely different. Thanks for the tutorial Warren!
Thanks ever so much for your insight! Agreed, rooms can be very misleading! A good pair of headphones can really help!
Amazing! The end result sounded massive. So much going on there, but all so clear. ❤️
I'm just starting to get serious about producing and I am struggling with this issue. I found this video so helpful. I have it bookmarked and have watched it multiple times. Thank you.
Warrens videos are pure perfect teaching of how to get great sounding mixes!
Thanks Warren!
Good solid techniques, that a lot of people(this guy) forget these fundamentals>
Years ago a friend showed me that gtr eq technique, and somehow over the years I'd forgotten it. Thank you for the refresher! ;:-)
Another great tutorial. Having the full range of sound without clutter and “mud” is so important to the quality of the mix
I was really struggling with heavily distorted guitars until I saw this video...thanks for all the great tips!
Warren...I have really enjoyed your guidance in showing us youtubers "a path". Your tutorials are professional and easy to understand and your tricks of the trade are cool and inspiring. (I'm finally adding the Wah D-string bass in my electric guitars.) Bring it-sweet midrange! In addition, I am finally understanding the importance of instrument/frequency separation, panning, and adding width/depth in music. Side note; I have been playing guitar/bass with either a 4 or 8 track for decades and have been recording so blindly. Thank you sir and many good wishes!
Thank you Warren Huart for continuing to help artists. You are an inspiration.
Thank you Warren for all the amazing content you produce, it's very much appreciated!
The low end sounded so perfect. Thanks for the tips.
hey ! most of the time the way you open topic is just a gold ! the back a days keeps so many answers to the things we break our heads today !! you re great!
Thanks, Warren. I thought to myself before watching this video, "I have learned more from Warren than from ANY other source." Your real-time hands-on walkthroughs followed by explanatory recap is very helpful. Your videos are a troubleshooting Godsend - logical, practical, and spot-on musical with a 'you can do it' theme throughout. It means a lot to me.
The one takeaway from my audio engineering studies/personal experience is that the human hearing range is 20Hz to 20KHz, and the goal for every mix is to present a sonic equilibrium within which each frequency has equal-opportunity to be contextually heard, according to how we humans perceive frequency (Fletcher-Munson curve). That is what I consistently learn with each new video you provide. Thank you so much!
I typically approach a mix by, first, applying static EQ to all tracks. Second, I apply dynamic EQ to address what static EQ cannot. Third, I apply sidechain dynamic EQ (if surgically necessary) to address what standalone dynamic EQ cannot. Then, and only then, I apply compression (where suited), followed by limiting. I repeat this process for each bussed effect (reverb, etc.).
I'm a firm believer it starts with your song/composition- like what you say, great production will give you a good mix from the outset.
PATIENCE is KING!
I'm reminded of that every time I get excited to record and I completely pass all the fundamentals looking franticly for a big RED button to push. I've wasted so much time by just not taking the time to go step by step . Thanks man for these vids not only keeps users objective but as for me keeps me grounded and eyes on the best production and post production possible. which is the prize. Hope everyone finds this in the best of health and knowing that no virus of any kind imaginary or not can stop the love for creating. Music or the Spirit of is truly our Commander and chief our ears hands and etc... are just her aids. Again thanks
Thanks Warren. I learned a few really great tricks!! I'm so thankful for your content always. Stay well and again thank you. You provide a priceless service to our community.
This is the most detailed explanation I've found about cleaning muddy mix. Thank you!
i`ve been producing self-taught for a few years now and the eq before the reverb that this guy recommends on this video... is game changer for me. Thanks a lot.
Thanks ever so much
I remember starting off and using a 16 track mini disc recorder which was "the thing" in that time and we'd have to bounce out drums, keys, guitars and bg vocals to stereo tracks in order to make all fit.. Fun stuff.. Wouldn't go back to that at all though.
Haha I hear you loud and clear!! Thanks ever so much
Produce Like A Pro Thanks to you for your great content.. Always!
Thanks Warren! This was excellent information I can use. The extended discussion of how to separate instruments and frequencies with the demonstrations will go a long way to help me with my projects.
Thank you Warren, this was extremely helpful as I really thought there was no way to make sense of a session I'd done decades ago with a real band. All your points and observations were spot on...
Brilliant, love seeing a few of these tutorial videos popping up again. Great stuff @producelikeapro. Must watch again, too much to take in whilst cycling to work and avoiding public transport... time to start learning more tips and tricks when working from home!! Thanks for making the coming self isolation more bearable!!
man you really hold nothing back, I literally haven't produced in 7 years and watching your videos you really give out the sauce. Learn something great from you every video. I know it's a long shot but could make a video of you mixing synthetic kicks and 808's together. It would probably get millions of views by the younger generation who produce hip hop because no one explains quite like you. If not no biggie keep up the great work.
This one is probably the BEST sounding snare I've heard in a mix in quite a while! Beautiful. And I do mean "in the mix," not on its own. A snare can sound perfect on its own, but in the mix... Hat down to you, sir! :)
Best visual I've seen for mix issues!
Pretty wild stuff. Whats amazing to me is the actual simplicity of the song itself. Pretty basic structure and , I must admit, I was a bit leary about the distorted bass at first, but you have the discipline to see the bigger picture. When you finally played all the tracks at once...outstanding. All the instruments doing small parts, yet combined it was epic without being busy.
Mr. Huart, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. This channel is a goldmine. Much appreciated.
I just found your channel while listening to TH-cam at work and I seriously can't believe it because it feels like a hidden treasure I can't wait to get home today
Thanks ever so much! I’m so glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
@@Producelikeapro ♥️🎵
I often wonder how much value there is in these posts, narration, vidmixing, and overall message ..(an awful lot I suspect) ... I have been mixing stuff from the way back days of a 2 track TRUVOX to Cubase 10.5 Pro and near enough everything in between, I truly think your work is priceless ... I don't leave comments as a rule but just wanna say ..thanks mate ... and look after yourself as well!
I find myself re-visiting this video every month.. Amazing. Thanks Warren.
Thanks ever so much
Love that 1998 frequency analyzer.
Goes to show that you don’t need the latest plugins to make a great sound.
This is what, i was really really searching for. Super amazing explanation, examples and other useful stuff. This is kind of people whose making music sounds great. Thank you very much.
Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" used an electric and an upright bass a few bars overlapped to compliment each other. The 16 tracks are laid out amazingly (thanks RU for the donation) :)
Love your stuff. Been a practicing musician and hack "producer" my whole adult life, but between Studio One and your videos my recordings are finally starting to sound like the live performance, and like I hear in my head. Your style, presentation, and choice of materials are very much appreciated and on point. I also love the sign over your left shoulder in some of your vids. My girls got me the same one. :-) Rock on!
Loving these videos! This is the best most logically explained info I have found. It's crazy how I've gone years w/o thinking of these totally logical things and then wondering why my mixes still sound crappy. LOL
I seem to have found these videos at the perfect stage of my understanding for the material.
Thanks and keep em coming :)
Wow! Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate your kind words
This channel is such a game-changer for me!
This guy is a mixing legend
Well Warren...I am always astonished and admired at how good always is your work! At 16:45...the magic happens and all sounds great. When a person knows so well how to do his job, I'm just observing and studying, hoping to get at least half of your results! Thanks for sharing, as usual :)
Just getting into DAW and recording at home..love these videos. This one is particularly useful
Thank you so much for sharing! That was probably the most useful beginner video I have seen so far!
This is a great video. I love the Brian Wilson example. Thanks to all of your videos you have shared on this subject, I am better at arranging low end instruments in my midi orchestration. I absolutely love all of your work from Produce Like a Pro training site. When Im not lazy (LOL), I actually do OK midi orchestra mixes thanks to you.
Thanks ever so much Thomas! I really appreciate your kind words! I'm glad to be able to help!
That beach boys mixing method has helped me a lot, even with organization and workflow; Just grouping everything into 3 Busses: "Rhythms"(rhythm guitars, bass (guitars and synths), contra bass drums, percs) "Melodies" (vocals, leads, keys, orchestra and "other" (any buildups, risers, non-melodic textures or sound effects/water/crowds/etc)
I'm working on this problem in my mix right now. Very timely and informative video, thanks!
once again, pure gold!
Thank you for this video! I've been watching your videos as I am almost done with my album I recorded all at home! :D Ever since I learned about the PAZ Analyzer I have been able to zone in on which frequencies work best per instrument. This has made my records MUCH MORE CLEARER. Thank you again! :)
Everyone of your videos teaches me something useful. Thank you!
Wow! Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for this video. Such good information without a lot of extra technical stuff bogging it down. My mixes always get muddy as I layer in tracks. This is so helpful.
Thank you so much Warren, these points are so useful and can't be overstated. Really helping my understanding of how to accomplish what I'm shooting for.
First time watching one of your videos and you're AMAZING. I love your energy. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Just found you, so a ‘first timer’. Subscribed right after you mentioned The Beach Boys. “This guy understands.”
I think that that sub synth should be set in monophonic, in that way when the notes change they don't clash together for a few seconds, like it happens here. Probably that would make the low end a bit cleaner. Idk correct if I'm wrong but coming from the synth world, this rings my bell.
This lesson is put together beautifully. Super production! I’ve been working in GarageBand without the ability to record live drums and bass. Consequently, all my drum and bass tracks have to be cut virtually. The frequency response of the virtual instruments by themselves is decent, but they tend to be weak in the mix. It’s tricky to beef them up without running into the muddiness problem. What I’ve been doing as a work-around is duplicating the tracks, then EQing each track in different ranges, similar to what you’re representing here in this video.
For drums, I select a main or fundamental drum kit. After working out the lines, I choose a second kit with a different frequency character, then copy and paste the fundamental. I repeat this process a third time with a third kit. I shape the first kit with bright frequencies that give definition to each instrument in the kit. The second kit gets shaped with darker mids to pull out the toms and give the snare a good punch. I’ll even run this kit through an amp sim - the toms really sit nicely with a touch of gain or crunch. For the third kit, I work out low and high frequencies to pull out the kick and draw some additional cymbal definition. The result is astounding. The drums are right up front, clear, and punchy, similar to an acoustic kit.
I take same approach for bass. Picked bass for the fundamental track that emphasizes middle and upper range, usually with a fair amount of crunchy gain through a guitar amp sim. Copy and paste to a fresh track, choosing a softer bass style. This track will pull out the lows and maybe some low mids. I’ll sit the second track a bit higher in the mix. Also, to create a little more width, I slightly offset this track so it’s behind (or later than) the fundamental. The result is a huge and present bass guitar that sits just perfectly with everything else.
I’d love to hear any feedback. What do you think about this kind of approach?
Thanks again for this great video! I picked up so many great insights.
Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment and sharing your insight! Great ideas! Thanks
This was extremely helpful. Especially boosting the fundamental and adding the high pass. I'm definitely going to try that. I never really know what to do with big distorted guitars.
Diggin this series - thanks!
Thanks so much Warren! This video really helped me to understand how to EQ instruments around each other. You are awesome!!
Excellent tutorial. I will have to watch this a few times.
Fantastic, perfect mix to use, so fun to watch and awesome tips!! Thanks ever so much Warren
Wow! What an amazing video. Certainly lots of information that will help my mixes.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
So obvious but so easy to forget everytime you mix. Great show!
These tips are invaluable Warren ..Great and we'll explained video
I've never commented on any of your videos before, because I'm mainly here to try to learn more about recording with a DAW. I'm from the dinosaur school of recording I guess, where we used tape, and mixing desks, outboard effects, and microphones, to capture the performance of a musician. From this video, I would kind of get the feeling that I really would prefer to have all the sounds come from organic instruments, and leave all the virtual instruments for the video games.
Maybe that's why the music of the day seems to lack the soul of the music that used to be... no one has the patience to learn their instruments, and put in the sweat to make it happen.
Warren, thank you for posting your videos. You reveal a lot about what to do, and what not to do when mixing recordings.
Hi Harley, pleased to meet you! Thanks ever sp much for commenting, sharing your experiences and your kind words!
@@Producelikeapro Hello Warren, I am pleased to meet you also!
I've been a subscriber for a couple of years because I find many of your videos very helpful, and some are very entertaining, ( Interviews with Jack Douglas, Aspen Pittman, Billy Sheehan, Tony franklin, and many others).
I'm basically just a guitarist who loves to compose and play, but I'm also proficient in bass guitar and drums. I've been watching and listening to your videos to help me put together a home studio of my own with the goal of recording and producing my own music to the best of my ability. My biggest hurdles are in trying to make the transition from the analog recording world to the digital one.
You offer a LOT of information in the digital recording age, and sometimes I find myself a little overwhelmed, but I don't give up. One day, I will have some recordings down to my satisfaction, and I credit your videos as a large part of the guidance I've followed to get there.
Thank you!
You’re a genius at explaining things properly. Thank you for your hard work.
Wow!! Thanks ever so much
Great video! I like watching you mix in action.
Thanks for imparting your wisdom, Warren. It's much appreciated!
Thank you very much for uploading quality content! At least for me as a hobbyist it's very helpful! this is a problem i typically struggle with and more often than not do to much EQ and it ends up sounding really bad. I had just completely overlooked that it can be really helpful to EQ out the low end before the reverb :)
Your teaching method is very upfront. Especially for the beginner who has no clue what all the terms being thrown around are. Thanks for giving me more clairty in this area of my frustration! Subbed!
If you look out for Warrens early series of videos (I think they were called recording basics), you'll find it all "de-mystified", from ground zero / 101, you may already know quite a lot, but if there are any gaps, you'll find the piece of the puzzle in them ;0)
No one is perfect! What a really important video whenever something just doesn't go your way when recording or mixing a track, and enhancing it!
Haha indeed! No one, well there's a few 'experts' out there! Haha Thanks ever so much for your support!
@@Producelikeapro Ahh that is true! You are very welcome!
@@RC32Smiths01 stay healthy and happy my friend!!
@@Producelikeapro Likewise to you man!
I really enjoyed this video. Muddy vocals are my achilles.
Wow the Brian Wilson frequency technique has just opened my eyes (ears) !!
I really appreciate the visuals and detailed step by step explanation rather than just theory. Thanks for generously sharing your knowledge!
Thanks ever so much Anna!
@@Producelikeapro yes, I started watching your channel yesterday. The information is amazing!
Great examples as usual. I'd read about sticking a sub under a live bass to get a clean punch, but this is the first vid to really demonstrate how great it can sound. And in such a busy mix it really comes through nice and clean, but sounds 'real'. Thanks for the effort you put into stuff like this. For someone like me, where this (unfortunately) is not the day job, jems like this are awesome ;-)
Thanks ever so much my friend! I am very happy to be able to help in any way I can!!
Warren! U do these things for free, its really amazing. Contents are better than most of the University's lessons. Thank you a lot!
Aw shucks! I’m very happy to help!
OMG that was not a muddy mix but a busy mix! Fantastic invaluable and superuseful information as usual! THANKS A LOT
Thanks dude!!! Subbed/liked😎👍
This was exactly the info and presetation i needed.
My project is bass band, lead bass, rythm bass, bass bass. Mud slingin party.
I had to redo compose a lot of sections, from my original inspirations. Not full cords, move parts higher or lower.
This will also help with a 1981 reel to reel recording first band, 2nd gig.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Great video, Warren as ever! I love to clean up low mids and leave them or boost them in my snare and snare reverb to fatten the snare sound of a thin recorded snare drum! Much LOVE
