This dude is a godsend! No weird tips, no "this is the one secret you need", just straight up, objective, easy explanation of essential mixing methods!
Man, night and day difference with the mult-band vs. the regular compressor. I'm definitely going to start reaching for the multi-band more often. Thanks for this video!
@@inthemix Funny, I actually re-watched your Dynamic EQ video for the second time after watching this video even before you replied. So yeah, I'm realizing both Dynamic EQ and Multi-band Compression are two tools I have been under utilizing. Thanks!
i literally just watched the vocal compression video and wanted to see if there is any mb comp tutorials and you upload it minutes later man im shocked 😂
all those people, all those tutorial talk of this as if it is self evident and only your tutorials show in detail what all those things are for in the end. thank you.
I keep running into your videos... It's not just the knowledge or the fact that you use the same DAW...But you're laid back and there's no waste of time showing off, but still a passion about what you're doing. Definitely one of the best music making channels on TH-cam. Clean, clear info too!
You’re one of my favorite TH-camrs about music production, your explanations are very clear, your tips are so useful, and your voice and gestures transmit very good vibes!
Multiband Compression is one of the audio editing techniques I rely on most and seeing another engineer use it helps give me greater insight to use going forward. Thanks for the great content 👍🔥😁
Another great tutorial vid. The best take-away for me was the difference between using an EQ and a Compressor, don't know why I hadn't thought of it before !
I recently used multiband compression successfully for the first time after watching your videos. I had a frustrating buildup where the sub bass coming in was making everything else sound a little quieter because I was using regular compression on the instrument bus. Using multiband fixed it! Thank you :)
thanks for the great demo .you can also fix one-offs like those cello bumps by creating a strong EQ / compression fix and only activating it for the quick passage with automation. If you have enough recorderd material it can also be possible to crossfade parts of other clean notes into the bad one to replace it in the mix. Surgical edits are usually challenging but kind of fun when you find a solution and no one will know
I think I'm going to start writting down on a booknote most of the things you teach us, because each video is literraly a gold mine. I love the way you debunk each subject and make it understandable to others DAWs users. Thanks to you my music gets better a little bit each day !
The vocal example where you described a singer moving back & forth really struck a chord with me. One of my band mates, who continued to record with me after the band broke up, sometimes rocked back & forth when he sang. He did that when he sand sitting on the floor. I told him there's no way to fix the volume changes in the vocals. This was before I started using a DAW. I was using an external multi-channel recorder. Compressors are amazing for this reason, as well as isolating things in a DAW & doing volume changes that way.
such a good tip. I am starting to mix my first record, and I am going through all your videos and applying them. Then mixing and remixing each song using the new tricks. This is hugely helping my skill
tbh, in your first example, your first choice shouldn't be either eq or any compression. Especially with the way you described how much you like the sound and performance already. And I would agree...it already sounds great. Instead, volume automation is the cleanest, most natural choice. Maybe if these plucks were occurring all throughout the mix and was feeling lazy, then I would go back to considering compression, which can be though of as automatic volume automation. When you were describing the vocal, is the best example of that exact situation. But even then, for vocals, I recommend manual volume automation first before reaching for compression for a cleaner, more natural sounding performance. That being said, I do feel your final example is exactly the situation where multiband compression makes more sense because plucky guitars in general sound great through multiband compression without volume automation because of the nature of the sound (plucky). It's easier to tame plucks from strumming while keeping a natural sound with compression vs. sustained sounds like cellos, vocals, etc. I'm happy you mentioned dynamic EQ as well, it's absolutely a great option (I prefer it to multiband compression in most cases). I actually went over that myself in terms of sidechaining in FL yesterday.
Oh, nice, that demonstration at 9:00 made it really easy to hear and hearing it is the most difficult and most important part. Thanks for a great tutorial, and special thanks for hearing aids :)
Just wanted to leave a comment, first video of yours I've seen. I really appreciate your thoughtful explanations and careful pacing, I feel like I'm in good hands learning from you.
Good tips. I've not tried multiband compression yet. I'm using the F6-RTA on specific frequencies on individual sections (1st/2nd vlns, violas, cellos, double bass) as there are certain notes that are just louder and more resonant and overpowering than others. I also like the API-2500 compressor on strings because it has HPF/LPF and L/R link controls.
Ahhh here I was just trying to learn some techniques for my pragmatic side, but the big chord just after 0:54 very unexpectedly nearly put me to tears. Eeeeesh.
I just want to say that I’ve seen a lot of videos on mixing and mastering and yours are simply one of the best! Have you considered doing full blown courses? I’d definitely sign up and pay for one!
Please make a video talking about 440hz vs 432hz and how to achieve them. I seen a few videos but some contradic the others, I trusted your ears and knowledge. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sometimes I cut the track on both sides of the small problem area & EQ just that little section. It's usually on the vocals. If don't hear any popping sound at the cuts, I'm good to go. The EQ works in that case. It's only in parts where maybe one word has too much bass in the tone.
I'm thinking of using this on my mixes as well as on some channels in either Studio One or FLS. I didn't know you used S1 as well. Great video as always Mike!!!
Greetings from Sri Lanka! I watched almost all of your FL studio tutorials bro.

If you want even more control, I'd reach for a Dynamic EQ too. They let you really dive into and the interface is more familiar to most of us :)

Off topic: Is it weird to think Michael might be good at reading audiobooks or meditative instructions?? :D :D
XD
Off topic: i love yall
I swear he talks like he just wants to fucking scream his soul out
😂😂😂
I was looking for this comment !
And yes he totally might :D

@@strongholds12 Any need?
Why Do People Capitalize Every Word? Sometimes I just don’t understand
i literally just watched the vocal compression video and wanted to see if there is any mb comp tutorials and you upload it minutes later man im shocked 😂
I am here!
I didn't lie when I said that I was looking forward to it.
I appreciate it! Thanks for joining in on discord :)
This is a really good example as opposed to a vocal that ends up sounding annoying after the 30th time it gets played.
all those people, all those tutorial talk of this as if it is self evident and only your tutorials show in detail what all those things are for in the end. thank you.
Man never stop this, you're a whole school by yourself
Thanks for sharing, thanks for the love
i got a school shooting ad at the start, very related to multiband compression
i got a mobile shooter pvp game
@@Kinzuu that's related to multiband compression for sure
They got you on their sight pal D:
Ofc, If you compress just one band you get school shooters
What kind of ad is that???
Multiband compressors and dynamic EQs are fantastic when it comes to solve certain problems, like the one you just shown here and deessing.
the cellos literally gave me goosebumps.. incredible
u have such a calming voice bro!

Anytime I am searching for a tutorial on a topic and I see you Michael, I search no more. The way you teach... hmmm you are the best
"MULTI BAND COMPRESSOR" is much clearer now to me... thanks you mate...
The way you approach the camera & explain to us thru the camera is amazing bc you take you're time to actually teach us 😊😀😁😇😇😇😃🤣🤔🤔😇
Smoooth presentation, good job. So comfortable with your style, and improved video editing in general! Thanks, M
Thanks Brian!

I hardly scratch the surface in this video, it's such a powerful technique :)
Bet this channel is the most trusted one and also I'm sure no one teaches music Production like Micheal does...thank you so much sir!

Great Tutorial! Good to see Studio One getting some love.
I always come to your videos thinking it won't make a difference but I've been wrong every time. Well done again.
There's nobody out there explaining these things better than you! Can't wait for the video about compression on drums!
This guy actually really teach something unlike these other youtuber. You are the best bro

Yep.. Very professional and detailed.
ur way to mix using multiband compression is so lively and informal. nice discovery this is.

Man you’re a savior ! I was trying to understand multi and compression so hard nowadays 😭
One of the best multiband compression tutorials!
It's worth mentioning that dynamic EQ can solve the same issues, and it sometimes does it more gently.

In cello part I would go for dynamic eq especially for that specific freq.
You are teaching my ears how to listen. Thank You.

I’ve watched this one a year ago, but just realized the purpose of it, my God 🙏🙏🙏
I love how Michael explain
This is my go-to FL Studio learning channel!
Where I am now, it's becoz of u bro,
I have totally learnt alot from u
Thc for helping so many producers like me
Never stop being a good teacher thank you 🙏
your videos are actually so calming
You know your stuff and you know how to communicate it so it's understandable. Well Done!
i really wanted in the mix to do a video on multiband compression 🖤
Excellent video! Multiband compression was a mystery, it is not anymore! Can't wait to use it on my mixs
Can you talk more about the difference between a multiband compressor and dynamic eq?
that guitar sample is really nice and good chord progression
as always , simple yet intelligent explaining
Just wanted to leave a comment, first video of yours I've seen. I really appreciate your thoughtful explanations and careful pacing, I feel like I'm in good hands learning from you.
Great tutorial!
You're so generous, Michael!
One of the best TH-cam channels ever. ❤️
I would be so lost without this dude!
I love your teachings 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽Agba teacher fi le fun.
In The Mix, you're the best youtube channel online! for mixing in the box. As always thanks for all the work you're putting out here.
Definitely worth thinking about / testing a dynamic eq for this sort of surgical treatment though - tend to be a less colourful than compressors.
You're a really good teacher. Thanks for doing this video, it has really helped me.
Great tutorial with great examples. You showed that multiband compression can be an easy tool.

Immediately had goosebumps after these cellos! Another great video mate!
Tell me about it! Recording it was amazing

You're doing such a great work...keep it up Michael🔥
Holy crap so that's what it's for! COMPRESSION IS AMAZINGGGGGG.
Muchas gracias por los vídeos! Siempre he aprendido mucho de ti!
amazing cello sample too, i love it, keep up the great videos👍💕
Thank you, it's just beautiful :)
I rlly wish I could see u in person and tell how much I wanna thank u for all these tutorials
Thank you for this tutorial! needed that (to not just slap OTT on everything)
I just want to say that I’ve seen a lot of videos on mixing and mastering and yours are simply one of the best! Have you considered doing full blown courses? I’d definitely sign up and pay for one!
So glad you're testing the waters with S1!!!
simple question when I should use multiband instead of dynamic eq? could you clarify ? great video!! Michael
This is easy to understand this morning!
Please make a video talking about 440hz vs 432hz and how to achieve them. I seen a few videos but some contradic the others, I trusted your ears and knowledge. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I've been watching a lot of vids of mult compr, but I liked this one cause it compares with the typical eq and compressor. Thanks!
Thank you for all the great videos you make!
You always bring the best out of the rest ✌🎹
The only TH-cam channel run by a God.
It really helps me smooth out high mids
Sometimes I cut the track on both sides of the small problem area & EQ just that little section. It's usually on the vocals. If don't hear any popping sound at the cuts, I'm good to go. The EQ works in that case. It's only in parts where maybe one word has too much bass in the tone.
We would love to know about frequency fundamentals in next video.
Beautifully explained !
Thank you for all the knowledge given to us!
thank you so much sir,,, love and respect from INDIA🌹🌹🌹💓💓
Great tutorail, everything is explained super clearly!
Thanks so much Michael!
Mate I just started music. You inspired me a lot.
I'm thinking of using this on my mixes as well as on some channels in either Studio One or FLS. I didn't know you used S1 as well. Great video as always Mike!!!
I have been waiting for this for sooo long, thanks Michael, this meant so much!
