Out of all the tutorial videos that I’ve seen on TH-cam beside maybe 2 other tutorial makers you go so in-depth to explain the 5 w’s Who what, where, why, when .who’s one of the fundamental ways of learning because if you don’t know for what reason you are doing something then it’s basically no use. I see far to many tutorials where the person just says cut the low end and i’m like why until I started watching your videos . I just want applaud you for the great work you do keep up the great work and giving back to the new Produces that are coming in and really truly to learn the craft of music making. Thanks fams
Again, this tutorial resonated with me. Your attention to detailed explanations are exactly what I need to retain the needed information. A genuine and heartfelt thank you is far too small of a gesture to express my gratitude for your contributions to the craft...✊🏿👍🏿
Bro your explanation and Teaching technique and knowledge all are amazing you taught me those things which took me to learn so many years..! Please keep sharing knowledge through your videos it's helps us a lot who can't afford to purchase high paid course!!!!
Your videos/tutorials are some of the best I've come across on youtube over the last 4 years. The way you explain everything in great detail and simplify concepts so they're easier to grasp is amazing. I wish I found your channel sooner. Thank you!
This is like the 5th video I've watched on your channel and I can say I'm a fan now. You are #1 production teacher for FL Studio users un my opinion. Keep it up!
Good video 😎 Using Para EQ 2 and Peak Controller to sidechain stuff is also a nice technique 🎧 I may do a tut myself on that and share some templates later on.
Yo Max, love your stuff. I purchased the entire Mixing Course back and it has helped me tremendously. Also, the way you have broken things down in this video make a lot of sense. I've always struggled to understand layering vs instruments keeping their own frequency lane. Knowing when to add or remove elements in a mix can be challenging. Thanks for covering and hope to see more explanation on these concepts.
Killer tutorial, Think "Frequency Masking" just became a little bit more defined to me. Like others have said : 1. Your tips are killer and useful. 2. Stereo imaging - mixing/balancing/etc would be a good highlight to learn about, I reckon that's been one of the biggest mixing setbacks for me.
Bravo. Not only is this an excellent (and eye opening) tutorial for amateurs like myself, coupled with the all important 'why' makes it the gold standard on how to impart music production knowledge. I've learned a lot - thanks!
8:35 This can also be a nice starting point for when you're filling out freqs with noise, which has some cool uses in it's own right. Recently I ran into a problem with release + reverb tails ringing over a chord change and really didn't wanna compromise it, take out all the dissonant frequencies, add wider noise back in their place (Note EQ patcher preset is pretty nice alongside a parametric 2), and it sounds full and rich without having the noise eat up and warble the freqs you want to cut through, the noise shouldn't really stick out as it's own thing. This can be a pain in the workflow, though, it can be a whole session of it's own to set up and get it sounding right, and you might need a duplicate instrument to affect tails separately. Anyone got shortcuts? Also, we all know multiband ducking, but imagine an EQ could read the input and duck each frequency according to how loud it already is in the sound you're trying to complement with noise, or what have you. Then maybe a control to give the freqs already there some more room, maybe some sensitivity to count slightly different freqs, I've always wanted something like this. Basically, say you had a saw and add a square by this means, you get a saw + square, except the frequencies the saw already had aren't added from the square.
Wow dude I just finished your Beginner to Intermediate and Chords & Progressions courses and I haven't binged so hard since Altered Carbon season 1. I think I can speak for all of us when I say you need to courses like that for all of FL Studio ...like all the stock plugins which you seem to know better than anyone.
When trying to make the kick and sub (808 or just pure sub) work together you shouldn't use a dynamic eq ( you will disrupt the phase when using the eq on low end ). I will recommend just using a level ducker only! I tried the level ducking method and never looked back. Anyway, for other frequencies, you can surely use dynamic eq( I use it a lot on my samples for when the kick and 808 hit, they will get a lot cleaner).
When you master (not mix) it is best to re-render stems you work with when you have applied the desired effect, then the phase is “finalised” and you can easily see the phase you are working with.
There is one important thing: sometime instruments sound solo or with another instruments and that mask would not work anymore. In this case only automatic tools would work cutting freq conflicts in real time
for eq sidechaining like you do with tdr nova, I just use patcher's multiband sidechain preset, it has a lot of more bands, they pick the frequency for you and it's a lot more precise and organic. It's a lil cpu intensive tho so I might use ur method on bigger projects.
Take note 10:19-10:28 I stop frequency masking a while back I think that why I’m starting to experience “beat blocking” because I don’t utilize this heavy tips anymore. Btw I always felt like this was a great mastering tip and to see this video on my newsfeed I am inspired again to cook up in the work shop cause yes now that I think about the other beats I have made without this tip 🤯🤯🤯 well… guess what I am getting back to it. PS they need more videos like this with other producers and their shared thoughts.
Bro out of all the tutorials i seen on TH-cam, i rank you the best, i ain't never seen no tutorials so prolific to watch like yrz , i ain't watching no dumb ass tutorials again, Imma subscribe to yr channel.🤗
Thanks max, you've made this video on my request. Finally this video has Cleared all my doubts regarding frequency masking 💗💗 you're a gem..🔥🔥🔥🔥 (and i have sooth 2😁😁😁)
This is the best channel I found untill now. Whenever I'll get the money I'll consider buying your course brother! thanks for the amount of knowledge you're providing for free. Much Love
Thank you soo much for your tutorial brother 🙏🙏🫂💐💐💖 I'm very much improved at mixing n mastering after watching your videos and I'm confident now for mixing mastering previous years I was weak at mastering but all thanks to you brother God Bless You 💐🫂
Hi, with all due respect - I know you intended well and it's good to try helping other achieving their dreams - but I honestly think you may be over-equalizing! For sure you will set a desired freq range for everything, but sometimes you might loose some character on instruments (Is your EQ for the vocals that drastic ?). Also, EQing affects the sensation of space : Here, after EQing the flute sounds way more distant, because of the removal of high frequencies, it feels pushed to the background. That is a decision you also might want to take consciously. Also, systematically applying High Pass to midrange elements may alter their transients drastically. Take an electric guitar for example. I think your advice might work OK-ish for EDM production, but you might want to go easier on the cuts!

5:40 this has driven me crazy throughout my life, people always telling me to do this or not but not telling me the reason.
This is hands down one of the best tutorials I have seen. Very well explained, like and a sub with bells on

I was just about to write the same thing.
This. I do this all the time and even with effects sometimes to make things interesting.
I use the same technique
Lifesaver!! 💯 I never knew frequency masking existed for about 8 years until now...DAMN Thank you Max!
i just didn't think its necessary

Powerful Detailed Things you are providing bro ..
Bro you gave some great sauce.. no body tells this part of mixing.
Good looking out man. Ive been looking for somethin like that tdr nova.. u have one of the most helpful channels.
Dynamic Equalization, When You Were Using Nova.
That’s Incredible!!!

With TDR Nova you can choose exactly what frequencies you want to target only - not possible with Stock Multiband Sidechain Patcher Preset ;)

yesss please make a video on layering. i cant seem to get it right with leads and such

This is a real lesson, no waste of time like many on YT.
Make a volume leveling guide Max. I need it. WE NEED IT!

That trick was just awesome ...Love from #Kerala @india
First time seeing u Maxx!! Lol the voice definitely goes with the look😎🔥😂
they will tell u u r butchering ur instrument but this trick actually work
It's just a volume game at the end of the day. It may be the frequency dependent or envelope dependent or the overall volume. It's all volume
u R the best ive ever seen no gimmicks
thanks 🤘🏼
Very good info you are best Teacher
Great content dear, really helpful ✌️
I was using TDR Nova only for deessing vocals, didn't know it can make that magic, priceless video 🔥
Can't wait
Thank you very much for the tips, you are a good teacher🙏🙏
You are in a God mode bro 😎😎😎
For me is a huge game changer ..
Great vid man nova is great but I’ve found it uses a lot of resources for simple things. Do u also use eq and peak controller?
