One thing I always like to do before I finish a project is to hear it start to finish on different amps and a few very different environments, like leave the studio and hear it in a car, maybe a couple cars, on a small handheld stereo, even just on a crappy phone speaker, just to hear how all the frequencies balance together when elements of their medium are increased or decreased, or when they're competing with external environments ie. Noisy car rides, dead quiet, empty rooms, my small studio room then my garage, so on and so forth, I always catch something new I didn't notice before from hearing it so many times on my studio monitors
If you have learned your monitoring sources and know the fundamentals of mixing, if you have trained your ears to hear all the frequencies and have a good mono monitoring source your mixies will sound good everywhere, its all about mixing fundamentals and once you learn how to do it you release it's work and takes time, much more than coming up with a beat or song.
omg these are good. I just applied the techniques from the previous one to a track I'm working on and it's transformed it. Also, I like your explanations because some of the mixing decisions are also informative at the general songwriting stages. This is really great stuff - thanks!
It's hilarious(ly sad) how this video clearly demonstrates the need for multi-clip editing and a proper multi-track spectrum analyzer, so we could easily see clashing frequencies... Also, I was expecting this will be about using kick (or whatever signal) to trigger a dynamic compression or - better yet - dynamic EQ on the other tracks. Removing the offending sounds altogether should be a last resort solution. After all they were placed there for a reason and usually only a selected bands (low/mid-range) overlap and everything else is fine and adds to the overall sound of the music.
Hey Matt I hope is well with you bro. I’ve been watching your videos for 3 weeks now. And I find very useful, I’m just saying thank you and keep up the good work. Thanks again for helping guys like myself who don’t have the money to go school to learn this. One question I have reason 10 and I would love to see a video on how to use vst.
Joseph Tiggs If using Kong you can just route each pad out to it's own Mix Channel. Here is a video on how to do it th-cam.com/video/JNJm0notEYU/w-d-xo.html and also you can download a free patch that has it all wired up for you on the ReasonForums.com here www.reasonforums.com/showthread.php?115-KONG-16-Mixer-Channel-PresetThis is the best way to have each pad on it's own mixer channel because you use just one Kong, works great.

I'm so glad that you are making these videos.
still learning...after using reason since reason 4..you are the best!!
So happy we now have multilane edit @9:20

Excellent presentation, and attention to detail. A++ Matt my dude!
Excellent tutorials mate.

Life saving info... I appreciate these videos
Great stuff!
_Great tutorial. keep going
Loving it thanks! °¬)
Thank you
You're welcome
Videos are great bro. Does the explode feature work on kong?
Joseph Tiggs Yes, it works on any midi file, pretty cool.
LearnReason Cool Man! Thanks!!
What happens if I get this loop in a wave rather than an input that can be separated by reason?
I do not understand your question?
Good ship pops
this is the same song did they let you use it??
Yes, just had to work things out with TH-cam.
Is it a way once you seperate the drums to their own lane that you can make them into separate tracks??
