I'm willing to stick my neck out and say I love everything about this video even though I'm not even half way through. Next time stereo microphones plz!
This loud whispering is terrifying. Thanks for being a weird character in these videos. I know you're just having fun, but it is very disarming and filters out a weird,insecure part of my brain and I feel much freer to just learn the presented concepts without giving up.
im doing this cause i will probably have to watch this again and i need to extract the max possible from this two times cause we knew this is impossible to watch 3x
There's actually a lot for experienced producers in here. Some of these techniques are some of the most slept on pieces of making a mix sound professional. thanks, UB
@@thejayce I’ve done it but I overlooked the digital clip mode, I usually used analog or soft sine and sometime I wished there was a more transparent option (but there is lol)
Dude I love how humorous your videos are while remaining some of the most informative production tutorials. Genuinely the stuff you teach in these videos stick with me because of the dumb (in a good way) jokes and characters you bring into the videos. I always look forward to new uploads!
When adding a saturator to the drop drums and cranking up the drive, how does it not distort the living fuck out of the kick? lol im trying to apply these same concepts and my stuff sounds like shit. I can choose waveshaper instead of digital clip and it doesnt distort but is that achieving the same effect?
this is actually the only video in all of youtube that I know of that goes straight to the point in how to create loud mixes. FINALLY someone who delivers!!!! thank you
Gotta give the two limiters on the master bus trick a go. Thanks man! I also disable high quality mode on the saturator and make sure there's no oversampling with my clippers and limiters. That way you get a nice brick of audio and your levels won't go higher than where the gain is set. Disabling true peak limiting will help to preserve transients.
instead of limiting the overall master together causing distortion, it is a better practice using bus mastering. separating all of the frequency ranges and sending them to their own limiter , instead of sending all of the lows, mids and highs to one master channel fighting each other and being crowded, separate the frequency ranges by creating a pre-master track and making separate send busses for the lows, mids, highs and drums. by sending all of the frequencies separately to their own bus and having their own limiter, you're giving them their own personal space to become even louder. you'll have a way cleaner mix and an easier master.
How is this accomplished? I don't know of a way to separate sounds by frequency. Surely it's not just a combination of low and high pass filters is it?
@@stormblessed9455actually, it’s exactly filtering. you can create them manually with basic filtering tools that come with your DAW, you also may use some 3rd party solutions, such as Multiband by Blue Mangoo that designed specifically for the freq splitting or use other multiband processors (saturators/compressors/etc), such as FAC’s Bandit but exclusively the part that splits audio with no actual compression/saturation applied and send the resulting signal out to 3 separate groups/auxs/buses for further processing. basically all of these options provide frequency splitting using filtering and Q-adjustments to dial in for avoiding phase-related issues. in regards of slopes and cross-points: 6db is the most phase-distortion-free slope to use for that purposes, 12db is the one that’s mostly-good-enough option with the phase shift and distortion low enough not to cause any issues, higher - such as 18db/24db and above will most likely cause problems at the frequencies of the cross-points.
@zufi422 at the same time, i’ve got a question for you - how do you treat the resulting output signal (overall master output after 3 separate limiters) clipping caused by overlapped signal at the cross-points. say, you split the audio at the premaster stage into 3 bands - filtered low/mid/high with 6db/12db slope, applied a limiter to each one of them and sent the buses to output - there’ll certainly be ovelaps in 3 signals that will cause the output to the level above digital zero. i wonder how you address this particular issue. ‘cause the overall concept makes sense judging on how multiband compressor usually adds clarity to the mastering chain, i can see why there’s a point in using “multiband limiter”, but as of now, i can see several ways to tame the resulting clipping, so i wonder what did you find to be the best practice in regards to this technique yourself?
I’m not sure why I’m watching all your videos but I can’t seem to help myself . I use an MPC….. but I’m liking your awkward Bob Ross style delivery. Haha good stuff man.
I don't know if you are aware that a lot of producers tend to have hypersensitivity to mouth sounds and clicks. For me, personally, it was almost painful. Good info by the way
Still so much Gems to drop, this should be basic by now, but it always gets me how less bass or dynamics and other stuff is needed for loudness. And damn UB, what a trip going back and forth between your vid’s, always something to find there !
Underbelly, dude, I F'n LOVE the juxtaposition of your delivery VS. the subject matter and the relative ridiculousness off it all. I held back a full out laugh...that is until you started sucking on your coffee. I was also sucking on mine but I blew mine across my monitors in hysterical laughter. No worries, no damage to the hardware. My brain on the other hand is damaged for life with your genius videos. THANK YOU for being informative, and at times a threat to my equipment, but, it's F'n "Wowzers" worth it.
Confused a bit about the first tip using saturator. Did the exact same technique and just completely crushed my kick, land pretty much losing all volume. Where am i going wrong?
Use less drive. Don’t look at someone else’s “numbers” or settings and think that copying them over to your track is a good move. Every track/song will be different. - If your serious about improving the objective quality of your music production then I highly recommend getting a book on the subject of mixing (amazon etc)… it will cover multiple interlocking topics that will at the very least expose you to the right terms and point you in the right direction (TH-cam) if you still have further questions. Good luck.
What's up Underbelly Your EP on Halcyon is brilliant! I was listening to it about 3-4 times in a row and analysis :D Please help me... HOW TO MUERTE OR SVDDEN DEATH -0.2 LUFS BRO???
When I try the saturator technique at the start it just makes things sound super distorted, yeah it limits peaks but it also distorts everything. And that doesn't seem to happen here
@@texxwave I think it's due to the fact that the mix is super super quiet, it went up to like -20/-30 lufs and my mix with no gain from the master goes to about -4.5 LOL
Highly informative and uncomfortable. Thank you.
Sums up the whole channel, not just this video. Never change please Mr Underbelly
😂😂
I never laughed so hard at something I hated
Yep, sure was creepy! ;D
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate that this is so informative that i have to watch again and listen to this asmr😭

what is that swimming pools remix
There's actually a lot for experienced producers in here.

Oh definitely. I never thought to boost the drive and equally attenuate the output to squash those transients. It's so simple!

but the OTT method adds that cool tail tho

dude this is fucking FIRE thank you so much.
Dude, I have had to watch this muted with subs on because whispering makes the backs of my knees itch.
Hey, noob here: I tried the saturator tip on every instrument, and now they all sound saturated and quiet...what am I doing wrong ? thx :(
Highly highly highly informative tips. That limiting dynamics tip is easily top 5 best tip I’ve had on TH-cam.
Am I missing something? Adding saturator just distorts whatever I put it on with the exact same settings you're using.
For the love of crunchy water don't ever do ASMR again...
Hokay so chekkit
Good video the other shxt just unnecessary
-30 lufs because I'm a respectful neighbor
bruh like some psychopath licking my ears stop i just want the info
I'm thinking the sip at 2:56 came out as a big poot about an hour or two later. Thanks for the ear tingles as always UB
it sounds too distorted when I try to copy your saturator method with the digital clip and drive+ and output - volumes
Your creepy yet comforting aura is growing every year with your hair. Fantastic tutorial as usual Underbelly
Holy shit the grain delay part with the chords melted my brain lol
Can you make this without ur Reggie voice? 🙏🏾
When he said "PBTBTLSLLSBSBTLTLTLPTLLTLLSBSNBS" it gave me chills bro
When I do that digital clip thing it distorts the high frequencies in the side channels, how do i stop that?
mmmm now scrape your toothbrush on the mic to REALLY set me off.
