The Feline Music By the way for Logic users, make sure you are Stereo Panning and NOT Balance Panning. Learned that from the channel Why Logic Pro Rules.
Kas in Logic, right click the pan button for the selected track ON THE LEFT SIDE of Logic's screen, NOT the main window i.e. the side where you can add plug-ins etc. You can also do so on the mixer window. You'll see a drop down menu showing Stereo Pan, Balance, or Binaural Pan. If you right click on the pan button in the main window where the midi is displayed nothing happens.
@@LifeStyleDidIt I don't understand what you mean by "mixing in mono", is there like a switch to put everything in mono or something?? I really what to know how to mix in mono and the ln switch back to stereo...especially with vocals
Oh my god, you spreading gold worth knowledge, sometimes i cant believe that you actually giving away so much and TRULY USABLE information, i love you man
Sadboi GABB On FL 11 it’s right under the green “on / off” for the fader on the mixer channels. Just turn it to mono on the stereo bus. On FL 20 it’s right by each fader on the mixer. Right for mono, left for more stereo width
Thank you a lot for Sharing your Wisdom With us 😊✊ I tried the Trick you told With the low Volume Mixing and I Feel like it increased the Quality so much.. Same Workflow and same Drums but With just half of the Volume in my Headphones.. it Sounds Way better ❤ Really thank you
@@PlunderOxy Below the master volume fader find the Circle thingy and it says Stereo Seperation, If you turn it all the way to the left (Blue) all the Stereo information is increased by 100% and if you turn it all the way to the right (Purple) it's 100% Mono.
Your content is lit...🙏❤️❤️❤️ The moment I saw your first video I am digging into your channel...😊 Pls keep making such helpful and awesome videos... Lots of love from India...❤️ Keep it up.🔥 See you in next awesome video...🤩
All that you said is key to a great mix but you really get superb results by adding automation to allow the track in focus to be given the needed space when it’s meant to stand out. Loved your video.
What's up LifeStyle, I haven't watched your videos in a while cause I had finals to study for and take but damn man I'm really seeing like, how comfortable you are now in front of the camera, you go really straight to the point, looking directly into the camera and I don't know man Congratulations you look so much more confident I feel like talking to a star already !!! Keep on grinding and going, do what you do I feel your energy on so many levels it's amazing man, have fun !
This is all great advice. All 5 tips will definitely help. Great video my dude! I’d say it’s a good idea to mix at low volumes, but also test things periodically at other volumes just to make sure everything is still where you want it to be. It can also help point out harsh frequencies when you crank the volume for a few seconds. Best way to avoid ear fatigue though is just make sure things aren’t too loud over all.
Thanks so much for all these tips. Finally produced my first decent song using tips I learned from you, using a raw vocal from the internet. Couldn't have done it if your channel wasn't here.
@@LifeStyleDidIt Yooo I came across an issue with my mix yet again... I uploaded a beat today and I had to redo it like 5 times, yet I cannot get rid of this fuzzy sound. I'm not sure what it's coming from, I know the mix isn't going over 0 db so any tips on fixing it?
I feel like I recently turned a corner on my mixes, and the big one for me was understanding input gain and finding the right levels where instruments should sit. Also, bringing in a reference track also helped, especially for understanding the bottom end and ensuring my snares weren't too loud.
You have amazing tutorials and tips, I feel like everytime I watch your new video about mixing, I get better! Keep it up, your videos are really helpful
Nice Video guy. Thanks for sharing this. I to use these techniques but not only when I’m in the lab, also when I’m tuning active car audio systems. Keep it up. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Liked & subd. Good tip on mixing in mono... I need to do that. You could do your sidechain EQ/comp ducking with stuff in mono because it'd help you find clashing areas & then switch to stereo and make tiny adjustments.
Gain staging is working each track and also all the tracks together at your 2 buss...so if you hit your 2 buss at -8dbfs is very probable that if u put a plugin(that emulates analog) yo uwill be hitting his input at -8dbfs... that means u are 10dbfs louder that optimal input level this plugin needs......
This is all fantastic accurate advice I would like to add on to EQ portion though to boost wide cut narrow... and if u have to go more than 3db.. no matter how good you think it sounds when you go to master it will create subtle flanges that are not exactly but when you go to mix that track live as a DJ those subtle in harmonics and flanges become anti phase locking nightmares, especially if your using scratch or Serato... I have two golden rules when a track is done and I listen to it to decide whether or not it is releasable. Does it make you want to dance or move your body and to can a DJ mix it. Because he's going to other people for your music that you really get your name out there. Chairs hope I could add some extra info on an already great video! have a great day buddy! I'm excited to start up my channel as well because I spent years during TH-cams First Growing Pains. And was lucky enough to be involved with some amazing techno artists that really showed me these first hand
Anything panned wide is going to have major ducking in mono, so if you’re doing mono mix for level, not just masking, I would recommend panning everything up the center and then doing panning in stereo after you’re happy with the mono mix. If you pan before or during the mono mix, once you flip back to stereo, your center channel stuff is going to sound like it gets a little tucked.
Idk about other people but clipping drums in FL sounds 🔥 to me. I push my Oneshots a db or two over then bounce them back down. After that I bring everything down to a decent level but that extra flava is already on them drums.
@@LifeStyleDidIt idk what's different but when trying that in other DAWs the clipping sounds horrible. May be some sort of coding under the hood that handles hot signals differently. Idk 4real lol
The other thing that sped up my process is finding my own template. Ive got certain harware eqs on busses. I got the fruity gains at the right volume feeding all them into the inst. Bus, i basically have everything leveled 1at the right volume, so when i work, i can work on sound design mainly. Yes some things aren't perfect but then i go in there and fix them. I think the only thing i wasnt doing til now, was leaving enough headroom
For anyone asking for the leveling video I mentioned, here it is!

its true i mix in mono and i tend to almost forget that I'm even in mono, when i go bak to stereo the field opens right up it's pretty cool to hear
