The “300” rule is an excellent one too Brody (although I go 250 depending on the instruments I use). Anything that’s NOT bass kick or 808 goes above 300Hz (250Hz on some snares for phatness and some 808 harmonics).
Brother Jamaal, I watched this video this morning when I woke up and it really lit a fire under me. I don’t do hip hop music most of the time myself (I’m currently doing an industrial music/EBM project) but the principles are the same and I am going to keep this methodology in mind when I sit down to do remixes this weekend. Peace.
This video is exactly what I needed. My brain translated this to 2k myplayer lol. So you aim for a -6 to -3 db master. That’s ur 99 overall. And you stack ur track db like skill points to get in that range. It All makes sense to me now.
This is such a great video. I've been struggling to get my beats to sound good. This really helped me take beat making much more seriously. Your teaching style is amazing.
Fina-frickin-ly! I’ve been looking for this video for so long. So many producers use all this jargon (which is ok for pro’s but not beginners) and say you need this plug in and that plug in but here’s a brother who puts it so damn simply that a simpleton like myself can understand what you’re talking about. Thank you so much brother! Subbed for sure and saved this vid to my music files for later reference!
@@JamaalAbiade I never seen the “Hard Pan” approach on the master channel before, I’m gonna test that out. I usually put the gain plugin in on the master and toggle mono and listen to the mix like that.
What’s up love the video I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing info on who does your graphic design I’m looking for someone to bring an idea I have for my label to life thanks
Thank you! BRAH Many blessings on your future Endeavors because you really helped me with this honest Tutorial from Brooklyn to Michigan you done again. 👍
I tell people this all the time, sound selection is key. As long as you start with some fire sounds then your good to go. Also its better to buy high quality samples or find some that havent been r -uploaded a thousand times as they loose harmonics and punch after while.
@@JamaalAbiade If I’m ripping a sample directly from a vinyl record, how do I ensure the sound has the quality I need from the start? I appreciate the response 🙏🏽
@@JamaalAbiade its more people in my college and stuff bro. I have seen a couple of tutorials saying that but the idea is you use a gain plugin (eg utility in Ableton) to set ur levels as well as keep the integrity of the sound then after you have gainstaged everything you then use the faders cause it ensures that no individual track is distorted or clipping whereas if you use the faders on a signal that may not be totally clean then you could be turning down an already distorted sound or even on a smaller level if you know its not distorting it makes each individual sound just a tad cleaner but as they say It really is each to their own and ur a much better producer than I am so who knows.
I had some confusion understanding this concept. I would watch a tutorial saying something about using the gain plugin or the gain in the inspector, over using the faders, whereas others said theres no difference. These kind of things really slow down progress right? What I do now is use the gain plugin/option when in the initial producing stage to make sure nothing is clipping coming in. That said, I rarely need to do this if I select good sounding instruments. It's normally for like live recorded samples and such, or plugins that are really loud like some synths. And then i normally just use the volume on the plugin if it has one before even looking at it in the DAW. I'm guessing once you have balanced the volumes correctly initially, then there's no need to fix it further with gain. Another time to use gain plugins over faders, is maybe when someone else sends over stems and they haven't sorted the volumes before hand. I'm totally going of personal experience and what I have gathered while trying to learn. I can produce quite well now, but I'm still trying to learn the mixing and mastering side of things. Hope this helps bro, keep on keeping on!
yes and no / i teach a method/technique. my style focus are drums as does genres like rap, pop, rnb, edm, dubstep. this tutorial shows you how to layers a beat together no matter the genre

I like that as well! I’m going to put that in my next one
are you talking bout 300 in the EQ?

@@LouBurna yeah its just to see how things are sounding level wise its good to use to make little adjustments to the clap/snare/hi hats in my opinion
If I buy a hat will you release the master tutorial? Been waiting on that. You’re the best one on TH-cam. No lie.
Dope beat fam

How do you go about finding quality sounds?
@@aprilalexander9653 Gotta do your research, there's plenty videos about which libraries to purchase. Spitfire Audio is a good free starting point.
Thank you for this bro! Helped a lot
Most def needed appreciate this bro 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Glad it could help boss!!
Bro thank you for this. This helped me out so much. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
There’s def frequencies in the lows in every sample. Just bus your instruments then eq
Perfectly explained and elaborate! Much needed this cuz Cheers!
Thanks for the effort you made making this video it’s appreciated man! 👊
purrrfect 😀
Awesome 👏🏻 thank you man.👍🏻
really good at explaining bro i appreciate it

Follow up with the mastering video. How can I make beats louder and fuller?
thanks a lot
Bro this helped me so much, great tutorial 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you
Nice video my guy! What r ur thoughts on gainstaging? Do u ever do it?
The goat fr lmao
Great mix! Did you do pre fader metering??
Great video…I appreciate it you sharing your knowledge bro…blessings 🔥💪🏼💯🙏🏼
much love bro! i appreciate the support!
Great video!!

Bruh this was fire
La di dadi, Dope video bro
good looks bro!
bro im just starting out, really trying to get like lessons in a specific order. so i can progress better
Did you do the mastering template video yet. Just came across this whitch is great.
👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
What plug-ins/setting do you use for mastering
ya
GOOD VIDEO BRO
how did you turn the volume level control off on the track channels?
Hello, You said that the mix should not be higher then negative 3, But thats really low volume. How do i turn the song up in the master when im done?
did u gain stage everything before this or dont bother?
Where is the master tutorial?
Do you put 808 in mono or stereo like cause it’s seems like you just put the gain in mono and not the actual audio track in mono as well
A GEM
@2:25 How do you make your sounds good if you’re flowing straight from a sample? ? ?
re phrase that question for me so I can understand more
@@JamaalAbiade If I’m ripping a sample directly from a vinyl record, how do I ensure the sound has the quality I need from the start?
I appreciate the response 🙏🏽
Are you not supposed to use a gain plugin rather than the faders? its just everyone b saying that thanks for the tutorial though
send me a link to what your talking about

Does your mixing process vary by the type of beat (meaning the genre)
yes and no / i teach a method/technique. my style focus are drums as does genres like rap, pop, rnb, edm, dubstep. this tutorial shows you how to layers a beat together no matter the genre
my ggggg
How do I make it louder after the mix?
i don’t get it… you said keep it all below -11db but then you started going way above it…
Is pre fader metering not needed for this?
What are the templates you used for the plug-ins in the master channel
coming very soon!
this really helped so much that i left 2 comments u have a sub outta me fs
