I've paid for mixing and mastering courses and watched hundreds of tutorials all to leave me still confused. Things never really stuck until I came across your channel. You teach in a way that makes things easy to understand and remember. Youre the reason my mixes went from just experimenting to actual decent mixes, I can't thank you enough. Please keep up the good work! you're doing a great thing and helping people like myself actually enjoy the process.
You have to remember that you just made the entire tack louder by a couple of dB which gives the perception of "Instant Energy". It's a great tip that a lot of people use through compression in the mastering phase. If you want to know if a track has improved with a plugin, match the gains before and after... louder will always sound "better"
Hey, do you have a video just using stock plugs (eq, compressor, etc.) that can help you get a good/decent mix or mastering sound? ONLY stocks though.....
Could you perhaps do a vid on how exactly panning works? Like your own idea on how what instruments or types of instruments should go where in the "sound"? Im just coming into this type of music.. But have been watching your vids for a while. I feel like sometimes the most basic information fits the best!
good job Devon. thank you for your hard work. what I would like to see is a setup of you recording vocals. literally mic placement, how far away are you from the mic, pop filters, etc. then if you run any kind of vocal chain printed.
Aveces pienso que Devon esta en su home studio experimentando con cualquier boludes en el Mix bus, y de pronto escucha algo que según el suena increíble y nos hace un video de 30 minutos hablando de EL UNICO PLUGING QUE LE ENTREGA ENERGÍA AL MIX... Primera vez que veo esto, son locuras de este chico no más, salen de su mente
Love the concept! Really fits the genre. The volume increased a little bit obviously making it sound better psychoacoustically but I feel the crack of the drums and the vocals "bite" a bit harder for sure. Well done!
This song has been my jam since Friday, lol. Would love to see the whole mix as well.. or some creation videos showing some recording techniques, or producing techniques. All of these videos are great!
Hey Devvon, you’ve been helping a lot lately with all this, I know you went to full sail, what kind of degree did you get there? Audio production, music production, etc.?
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Thank you so much for your knowledge, you are a good person Devvon and you're helping so many people Never stop ♥
What's FS alumni I just started watching your vids about 2 weeks ago and to day as I was watching How to eq rap vocals in pro tools #1 I found out that you are a graduate. Congratulations I have one question for you how long did it take you to launch your after FS career?
Laptop Legends Transient shapers work best on kicks and snares depending on the source/sample if you want to control the attack and sustain to make it more punchy or snappy, but I would highly recommend NOT using it on the master bus. It’s actually extremely bad advice to suggest doing so. An example of when you would want to use it on a kick for example would be if your kick has too long of a sustain and the tail is colliding with the 808 or bass causing phase issues, then you might want to control the attack and sustain to bring out the attack and take out a bit of sustain to make it sit better with the 808 in the mix. So in a way it is adding energy by just cleaning things up and adding more punch and snap, but it’s not always the right thing to do every time. Like I said, it all depends on the samples you’re using. If you’re using a really punchy/snappy snare or kick sample then a transient shaper won’t be needed. Just like how if you use a sample of a 808 that’s already really heavily processed and distorted, then you probably shouldn’t compress or distort it even more. Adding something that’s already there is NEVER a good idea.
Yeah. I appreciate the visual layout of it, as I'm more of a visual person and it seems to have a nice color to it all around. I've been checking out the transXwide and the TransXMulti and haven't mastered how to fully take advantage of it, but certainly drawing those transients from a bus and mixing it back in makes for a nice punch. Ive even used the transxwide on vocal tracks, which helps pull things forward. Either way this Smackattack plugin is fantastic. Thanks again for the advice on these things. I'm sure your vids are bringing people out of the dark ages, bringing forth more colorful music.
I can recommend you guys another plugins that are almost unknown but they are fire! The LVC Audio Suite, try them guys, it´s really really amazing and has a unique and clean sound. Nice video Devon, thank you so much for this one!

Good work bro I like your tutorial but may you show us tutorial how you star mix your beat and levels of instrumental coz myself when I do the mastering when I boat use limiter my kick disappear so why so I want to know where I was doing mistake
xII_KING_IIx very thing is free now days you just torrent it like get studio one I use Mixcraft for all the mixing and mastering fit the tracks on my channel if you like the quality hit me up
Yea man panning aint that hard and u can watch any video about it for beats but for vocals the Lead vocals always in the middle unless u wanna do something abnormal then u can automate it to go left and right a bit but for background vocals whabi do is have background vocals one on the max right and one max left and i either record two back track or i record one and duplicate it

I hope i can find this plug in for presonus. Im using windows and for antares autotune plugin you suggested it said i needed dongle hardware. Anyways this waves smack attack looks pretty cool to try. Thx 4 sharing
DON'T use headphones for mixing... It never ends well. Use it for an additional reference tho; A lot of people listen through headphones, so it's necessary to make sure that your mix translates well to as many devices and scenarios as possible.
Hey Bro Sometimes I’m Scared As Hell To Make My Vocals Feel Airy Like That On My Rap Vocs. For some reason I like listening to my song better with the vocal sounding inside the beat and not over the beat and I like the natural vocal sound so I’m scared to use reverb because it don’t sound the same after but I can hear the room i recorded in the Vocs and I don’t want that.what would u do to fix the room but keep the Vocs sounding natural?
Best suggestion…try spend more time doing subtractive EQing…remove all the bad frequencies out of the vocals b4 u start boasting and maybe lil short plate reverb
To be honest i feel like it is about how you want it but an producer for steview wonder said that if u want real sojnding drums u put the Hihats on the left a bit and snare aswell but a little bit less and the kick in the middle crashes little to the left or right depends where u want it.. and tombs on thr right but just by panning drums i feel lime the knstruments sounds perfect in the middle since u freed up some room

indeed this is why we're always level matching while adding and removing plugins.
Im looking forward to reading your comments, request etc!!!

Literally about to do the same lol
Thank you for doing this! I’ve been using this only on my kicks and snares, and occasionally my drum bus. thanks for the sawce!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Devvon your vids really add perception to all the different techniques it takes to make amazing music. Your tracks really inspire. Please keep it up!!
wow that means alot thank you!!
Devvon, I have to say mate, you talk a whole lot of sense. Thank you

Nyne Renditions no problem!

Scheps particles is dope too
This is LITERALLY the same plugin I started using recently and then you made a video about it! Great minds! Haha. It really works so well!

I have one question.. did u insert this plugin on the master channel or
He did bro
your videos have been extremely helpful man. are you ever gonna do a video on mixing vocals to a 2 track?
Gleekoh Legacy yes

I'd really love a video on how to camouflage edit points with fades. Explain in detail the difference between equal power and equal gain settings.
fire..we need one on Panning Instruments
Hi Devvon I like the way you mix and master. Do you do online mix and mastering services?
Yes he does he announced it ill link it to you
I checked again and turns out he still didnt open the service but he did announce it in the 20k subs video
The question I have for you is where can I download that song it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
tenkeys it’s called take me serious available on all platforms ☺️
Pretty sure he dropped it couple day ago i heard it
banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the concept! Really fits the genre. The volume increased a little bit obviously making it sound better psychoacoustically but I feel the crack of the drums and the vocals "bite" a bit harder for sure. Well done!
Zach Porter exactly a bit of volume increase but you can def notice a significant boost in the attack and the energy
This song has been my jam since Friday, lol. Would love to see the whole mix as well.. or some creation videos showing some recording techniques, or producing techniques.
All of these videos are great!

I do like that pluging bro. What other transient plugings would u suggest?
This is the video that made me realize my favorite engineer was one of my favorite artists. How I hadn't put the 2 together is beyond me 😂
Thank you bro!
Would have never thought to use this on the master channel ❗️🔥🔥
Laptop Legends and you probably shouldn’t 😂
Koda Keller Why not?

any tips to writing the song. i tend to get a chorus, intro or a verse but i have a hard time putting it together
Devvon plz. Tutoral of multibandcompression on master chain.
Question for you. Where do you place the plug in? is it safe to put it on the stereo out I would love to hear your response.
this song is now in my head and i've been singing the same line all damn day....thanks Devvon! lol
(edit)and i just found it on Apple Music!!!
so i bought the instant energy preset... should i put it on the master bus or should i put it straight on the vocals? :)
Yooooooo this soo cool bruh! learened soo much from this!
such a great tip man thank you very much!!!
I use the waves transwide for the same effect, but this vid makes me realize I should be using it more.
Joshua Love I kno that one and honestly I like this one more I can tell it was probably made more for edm producers
