Try moving the attack on the envelope of the 808 just a lil bit. It allows the kick to punch through and the 808 provides the sustain. It gives more headroom too.
I was searching to learn proper mixing on kick and 808 - very surprised how detailed this video is… THANK YOU!!! I am new to programming and just doing it for fun - usually don’t use 808s but will now that I have this info 👍🏻
I attenuate the lows at 110hz for pretty much everything that isn't the kick or 808. Gainstage around the 808/kick. Put all the drums on one bus and compress. Send that to another bus with slight reverb and compress. Side chain the kick to the 808. Using logic go to the multi effects and use phat effects, increase saturation, boost the bass at the 80hz frequency. Also I sometimes fade the kick transients and the 808 punch.
The whole point of using an 808 is the long-lasting punch, the reason your kick doesn't fit in with the 808 is either cause the 808 already has a transient beginning (kick), phase trouble or the sound selection doesn't go together. Depends the mix/sound you're going after, but using sidechains tends to leave a more EDM-ish taste. Different producers do different stuff to their 808. Some sidechain, some don't, some don't even use a kick in the first place. You don't have to mix your beats at all if you're not selling your beats as a finished product, cause someone else is gonna mix them. Mixing doesn't necessarily mean "changing" the sound, so yeah, the samples are already designed with compressors, saturators etc., but you still need to fit those samples in YOUR whole picture right? So if you're cutting all the mids from the melody so your 808 is the main character in the mix, you'll need to compensate and use something to bring the 808 to life in the mid range or it's gonna sound empty, which means...you'll have to mix your 808. 😉
Amazing work! I am super happy I found your channel. You have helped me greatly in my journey through music. Thank you for your hard work and can't wait to see what else you create ✨️
Actually I want to be able to recreate Lorna shore and devourment breakdowns entirely with layered distorted tuned kicks instead of guitars, any advice for that ?
what i do to make my 808 hit i put an eq + limiter i compress it a little bit + sidechain + add saturation + boost the gain a little bit and it works always
most 808s are compressed out the box, adding more compression does nothing other than raising the gain (unless you set a high threshold, then the gain increase is attenuated, which probably isnt good because the 808 will be overcompressed and sound less powerful). EQing is valid i do that a lot. sidechaining is unnecessary if you have good kick/808 samples. Adding a limiter is the same as over compressing. Saturation i rarely use but in some cases it might make ur 808 sound better. Essentially all u rly need to do is raise the gain, the rest is extra assuming you have good samples

I hate to break it to u this is very weak sauce beginner advice, there's a guy leaking audio school material the shits rare look up alexmadeit

@@2kIlIxon which mix did you make a comparison on to come up with that statement?
White Theme Is Hard To See What You Are Doing Idk Just Something I'd Like To Point Out
😵💫 my eyes are burning
Yea looks ugly asl
"Mix the track around the 808 instead".
That is the most time saving thing I've learned in making beats. It's so simple but never considered it.
Larry Oh is a PsychOh for using the white theme.

Very well spoken! 👏🏾
Flashbang theme 😶🌫️
Lol
make a video about how to make loud mix without distortion
He is him with that light mode
Is taking out the low end in all of the sounds and letting the 808s stand out does that do this also?
When is fl 21 dropping?
Okay but how do I stop myself from using the spinz 808 every beat 🙏🏽
Delete it😂😂
Great tips as usual! 💪🏾💯🔥🙏🏾
Appreciate it!!
I hate to break it to u this is very weak sauce beginner advice, there's a guy leaking audio school material the shits rare look up alexmadeit
those atmospherics sound amazing!
Awesome video, thank you! This light mode decreased the lifespan of my eyes with 8 years, but my beats sound better now :)
Hahaha I did it mainly to see how many people would talk about it 😂 I honestly don’t like it
Join the dark side padawan
So if my daw doesn't have Mano, do I keep it center or duplicate the 808's and have one left, on right?
I was wondering the same thing cuz every time I go to mono it start playing out of the left speaker only.
White FL Studio is malevolous
bro why u have white fl studio bruh
Do you have a video that explains what side-chaining is?
Yes, that song I will buy. Where can I get that?
maby i have a stupid question but does the 808 still ha\?ve sidechain after i export the stems ?
Amazing work! I am super happy I found your channel. You have helped me greatly in my journey through music. Thank you for your hard work and can't wait to see what else you create ✨️
How do yall get yall mixer to look like that
What are some good drum and 808 kits?
Nice one sir.
But I don't go with the white theme, strenuous.
Is it worth not putting the 808 in mono if you want to do panning effects with it?
It won’t pan if you put it in mono.
Man I love your FL Theme where did you get it from?
😶
it comes with Fl 21
thanks@@evzyxnelson
Awesome video, very concise.
thanks broo
00:04 DAMN FLASHBANG
Very helpful... Thanks Man 👍
aahhh who throw the flashbang 😵
Still need a soft clipper tho
your thee is killing ma eys bruh !! hahaha
Don’t be so dramatic 😂
Actually I want to be able to recreate Lorna shore and devourment breakdowns entirely with layered distorted tuned kicks instead of guitars, any advice for that
?
Lol
Same! Let's collab!!! TRAP METAL
Another great video man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ✊🏼
great stuff . i get ya
thanks man 👍
That all white FL Studio theme is gross! Why would you sign up to set your eyes on fire like that? 😐
Thank you bro!
bro thank you man!
This dope Tip. U get me
Thanks
thank you
True 👏🏽
Larry you just explained so much in so little time, really appreciate it
Perfect video
Light mode is crazy 🤣 looks dope but blinding 😂😂
Most the kick be in mono
Great Tutorial I'm sidechaining from now on
Awesome video man keep it up
why the white gui...
right i couldnt see shit
I'm blind bro how are you using this fl skin

yea, that was a fun notice, when i figured out that any processing i added to my 808 and kick just made things worse 😬
I see you have the White theme, do you need help, do we have to call someone ? Nice video tho hahaha
I may yes lol
All white is so😂
i was waiting for this comment lol
the color is amazing but the dark one is good for the eyes if you are spending hours in making beats
i like to do my sound desing ,,, is more unique!!
You deserve to be subcribed bro appreciate for the video i had problems in mixing 808 with the kick 😢
Drop your flp mane 😭
Ofcourse the samples are already processed. Don't process them again and destroy the quality. You don't cook pizza again after ordering it do you?
Is your whole song just an 808?
sidechaining the kick is controversial ive talked to very prominent producers an heard two sides to it
I’ve heard both sides. I still like to sidechain when it’s needed for me.
Thanks. You got everything covered lol
