LoFi Hip Hop Mixing Tutorial

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ค. 2024
- Today I show how I mixed the LoFi Beat for my last video using the FL Studio Akai Fire controller. This is to give a flavour of some simple mixing techniques that can be used to give a Lofi vibe.
This was mixed on the fly while producing the beat and in this video I talk about why I did certain things and also how it could have been improved.

The hint to go for mastering first really helped me with my beat, thank you!
This stuff is SUPER Helpful!
Thanks Michael. Besides the content of this tutorial in general, I'd like to give you my compliments for your presentation. Your explanations are very clear and the tone of your voice feels comfortable. For "us" your tutorials are like: "Just sit back, relax and get a lot of information, and a free plug-inn" that can be used instantly.
Thanks again, learning a lot from your tutorials ;-)
Greetz,

Thanks Ed, I really appreciate the kind words, all the best to you :)
That listening to the headphone feed with them off is golden! Been doing it for a while - didn’t know it was a thing. But it’s so smart and so easy

Wow ! That's a really nice videos ! thanks a lot bro !
i've only watched 15 out of 20 minutes so far, & i have to say this: the tutorial was so freakin good that even though my LoFi is a completely different style of FX processing, i can still apply everything i've learned to my mix. just finished my mix actually, and will be live soon :)
best tutorial ever! :) thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been doing it for years but some things are new to me. And also there are not that many FL Studio tutorials focusing not only on Hip Hop/Trap stuff (even though I love Hip Hop). Thank you and much respect from Ukraine
Thanks for the tips👑👑🙏
Your headphones are hella dope.
Good Sir, this video is a treasure!
Another great tutorial
Great stuff, thanks

Great tips ! You seemed to be in a particularly good mood here :D
Thanks, I just had a lot of fun putting this beat together (one of those ones where it all fit together easily) so I was happy to relive the memories by looking at the mixing I did on the fly :)

Can you do something on leveling and instrument selection?
@@NanaSarfoBeats yes certainly
5:14 most important
5:07 this makes me love this channel even more.
thanks for this video! would love to see a 2021 updated one! also would love to see more about side chain usage and tricks for this genre
First hip hop beat on this channel? Nice!!!!!!!!❤️😏👌🏾
Yeah It's my first one :)
In The Mix I like it! Thumps up!
In The Mix teach us how to mix trap beat/hip hop.
It’s interesting that you noticed that lo-fi drums can be either punchy or mushy! I’m glad to hear that from you cause I always thought it was going one way!
You are awesome at making this kind of Videos. I´ll definitely watch more of your Videos to learn more about music making!
Thank you very much! I'll definitely do more in different genres :)
I'm just at 5:03 and the video is already so helpful :D much thanks!
Dude, that kick and snare sound so clean and punchy
This is really helpful
Thank you so much !
Side chain like alllll the instruments to the kick and you're really a lofi man😆
great video, and it is nice to watch it too.
🤘 thank you !!!!
5:15 *_exposed_*
this is so wholesome
Thanks for your video
Great vid. Just what I was looking for! I do the taking the headphones off thing too. Also go out of the room when using speakers, which is a similar thing...
1 million soonn 😍🥳🤩
Nice man, I'm using ableton but definitely some take-aways from this. Liking the beat too!
Great beat
thank you so much for this video, i'm a total rookie here, i work on ableton but this was so informative . i took down notes. . also, great smile :P
Thanks for touching on how the low end is often sucked out a bit in lofi. I've been making some lofi tracks and it is a very easy hole to fall into wwhen you have a hip hop drum pattern to let the low end ride super hard. Saturate it and dial it back so it sits in line and 'gels' with everything else.
Thank you!
your videos should never have dislikes man.
Nice video ! :)
Hi there!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos are fantastic, as far as I am conderned. I also think you are a fantastic teacher. (Coming from a professional math and physics teacher in Austria ;-) )
You're soooo good teacher..i find your channel 2 days ago...and i hope you make a loot of videos in the future...and reach millones of susceibers..because you desirve it.
Thank u very much man
Thanks 👏
U r awesome man
Thank you
Thanks so much.
Nice job
you are really a good man
I frequently put the headphones on my desk and turn up the volume. I thought I was being an amateur with a bad habit.
Step 1 : isotope viynl
Step 2 : enjoy
yep in some cases that's pretty much it!
Oh yeah nahui
@@hollohollo7228 is das nich von mois?
Can you just use Izotope Vinyl for the drums?
@@lowpasseq8070 ja
Great
Not really into low fi but I learned a lot thx again :D
interesting workflow for the mixer I've never did a channel for "instruments" I will try it. It would be nice if you could explain the generic dB for these kind of master channels, because I don't find a lot of good informations on internet (I know it can depend on the kind of projects, but some basics would be nice)
🙌🏼
damn u hyped me up
That look at the camera when there is no highpass on piano 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds volume issues with my track by removing my headphones 🎧
5:15 gotcha 😂😂
Top Tip for anybody who uses high pass on all their instruments:
Instead of putting your eq on every individual track, create a pre-master bus with a high pass preset on it and link all your sounds to that so it hits that before the master. You’ll probably notice it sounds a little better as you don’t have lots of plugins creating artefacts and doesn’t use as much cpu
THANKS)))
You're welcome, Hope you enjoy the free plugins and samples :)
It sounds nice to piano
Nice ;) which layer make you first? (leads? Rhythm?)
Could you make an advanced tutorial about compressing in the way you would compress your tracks? Thanks already for your great work!!
Genuis bro
Rotterdam the Netherlands salute🙏🏼✌🏼❤️🧡
Nice video. 7:20 drum beat sounds like phub theme to me.
Good video, still waiting to see a video using the MT power drum kit plugin- I've been using this plugin for the past year and would like to see how you would manage,mix and EQ using this plugin for those of us whom rather use a complete drum kit plugin over the pads etc plugins... thanks for your consideration Michael-
Samples that match *In The Mix*
4:57 i like how you this with a video to go back and refresh the brain 🧠 I memorize it more and more. 5:14 👀
I hope you can make a video..explaning how we can improve the quality of our audio(of the video we gone to upload to youtube).. in FL Studio.
