So I just wanna take this time out to say how grateful I'm today for watching this tutorial. I don't usually comment anywhere with such enthusiasm as I am filled with in today. First of all, I wanna thank you Sean Divine for this channel and all the great tutorials. Really they helped me a lot and unlike these other creators that focus on building their "TH-camr - like" persona while doing music, you actually give out gems through these tutorials without compromising quality. A fine example of professionalism. Today I was stuck on an 808 part of my mix and I didn't know what to do or where to go next, I added whole bunch of plugins but it kept making the mix more and more unnatural to sound on my phone speakers. I was so frustrated and annoyed. I watched atleast 4+ hours of videos on TH-cam and none of them helped me in any sort of ways (and these videos were of mixing engineers with more than 100k+ subs). Despite being subbed to you for so long, it didn't occurred to me to watch your video. Shame on me. But then I searched and this popped up right at the top. I wish I could've watched this 8 minute video without wasting my 4 hours of watching complete BS. You truly deserve a lot more. Keep making such amazing tutorials, man! I personally really appreciate it.
that's awesome 😊🙏🙌
🔥🔥loves great

God demn, you described my day.
this guy just made me subscribe to your channel. hire him
@@osfield appreciate I could help you out 😊✌️ thank you for your kind comment
I never even thought about splitting the low and high
this trick is sick, it's also used a lot in Metal productions where they split the bass guitar in a high and a low track and distort the high track like a guitar
Big ups brother, bass has always been the trickiest parts for my mix. Always sounds good on headphones than transferring to car it gets messed up, but this def does the trick. Super helpful and easy to understand your tutorials. Thanks my man!
You are the best! I learned like 3 things today only, just from your videos. Sharing knowledge like that is why I love this era, knowledge is everywhere just grab it! Thank you a lot!
sure thing, glad to hear it 😊
wow! Ive never seen anyone else mix 808s in this way. Thanks heaps, im going to try it
Your videos are so helpful, clear ! It's gold for producer like me who learn everything from tutorials & books.. Thank You so Much ✊🏾🙌🏾 Love from France
my mixes are saved, thank you. youve earned my subscription
Thank you so much from Brazil!!!
Your tutorials completely changed the game for me, thank you for everything bro!
my pleasure Matt, glad to hear it!
Ayyyyy Cherne!
ShanetheShaman TV hahaa yoo smart move watching this channel. He’s one of the best in the game!
bought your deluxe course after watching this.
How was it? I’m sure it’s great he’s my favorite production/audio engineering teacher on TH-cam just wondering if you liked that particular course
@@prodbycxrlos I took it when I just started mixing, for me it was a very good starting point for learning how to mix. He takes you through 3 different songs where he shows different mixing techniques. I'd say it is for beginners tho.
I love your mixes. Thank you for making the delux pack. I will def be buying it on my next paycheck. 🔥🔥🔥
thats a trick that no one give us for free like that! Obrigado
I've never watched a tutorial that inspired me as much as this one. Thank you bro.
🙌
Thank you for the insight. i never thought about splitting.
I love your tutorials always!!I can know how to good mix from you.Thanks you for sharing!
Thank god finally a vid showing what you should do thanks you man🙏🏿
glad it helped!
I've been duplicating my 808s for a while now cause I didn't get them to stand out when I wanted to. Cutting the low end of and using saturation or distortion plus panning is the key 👍 The way you showed this, informative to the point.. Im subscribing 🙏
Glad I could help
@@SeanDivine do you have a video on your most essential mixing and mastering plugins? Im only using stock and free ones 😊 but ive seen a lot of people using izotope stuff.
you're videos are always super helpful man, thank you
THATS A SICK MIXING TIP EVAN IN 2024!!
Man I love your videos ! I know you from your old videos a lot of years ago and you're one of my fav producers too. Keep it up
useful and quality information in this video. Thanks!
Thank you Sean!
Thanks man!!!
I've never heard this one before

welcome :)
Thanks a lot for this, i use to wonder how some 808's sound wide in headphones 🙏
great tutorial m8! really pro 808 mixing technique! good job sir.
Sick beat🔥🔥and Super helpful 🔥🔥🔥
Tysm!! ❤❤❤❤❤
that beat goes hard champ..
Great video bruh. again a nugget.. question, can you do a video to show what phasing is? I have never heard that and want to see what you are talking about and how you do it with izotope
will see what I can do!
Thanks Man for all your vid,much appreciated,pls can you make a vid on how you made the sidechain on the 808 on this track,pls that will be amazing if you can,thanks
I knew about this split processing and tried it but was affraid to distort my highs so heavily, IDK why exactly. But now I will feel free to experiment with it more.
Best trick ever
Thank you for this wisdom!
Nice, thanks man, now it just sits good in the mix
dope beat!! thank you for the knowledge!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
ahhh yes, the OG intro :)
Great technique
I used this process (with a different plug in but same process), and I was able to turn up my 808 w/o drowning out any other parts of the instrumental or the vocals. I got a nice bassline now that is present in the mix as opposed to the one that I was having to tuck back to keep from overpowering the vocals, etc.
🙌
This is fucking awesome man, thanks so much! I've never thought about splitting my 808's but now I'm definitely gonna try this :)
🙌
Nice technique bro. Good job 🎶🎵🎼
thanks!
Dope video man. Ppreciate this🔥🔥💯
sure thing man!
great video man
Thanks for great simple tutorial.
sure thing!
The beat's so niceeee!!
THANK YOU!
sure thing!
I subscribe to your youtube channel for a long time ago.
But I am late to found this tutorial. 😂
Btw, thanks man!
Keep up the good work! 🍸🙂
Basically this would also be possible without splitting the 808 into 2 channels by using a multiband distortion plugin like Fabfilter Saturn or even better Ohmicide, right? (And for stereo width of the higher frequencies Izotope Ozone could possibly do the job.)
yes! that would work also (love ohmicide by the way)
Perfect, I hate splitting to multiple channels/creating busses/sends and try to avoid it unless it absolutely can't be avoided haha
I've never really used ohmicide so far in my released stuff but I'm trying to get into it atm. Maybe you could do a video about it some time if you feel like it'd be a good idea. But then again I have never seen anyone else ask for this in below your videos so it'd probably not really be worth the effort.
bless
I’ve resolved so many issues with my mixes by watching your videos. Thank you for all you do, you are very much appreciated!
:)
Great stuff bro
Stereoizing the high end of the 808! Fucking brilliant!
🙏👍
🔥🔥 beat . good tip 👍
Thanks for your lessons they are so helpful. your beats are crazy fire. Do you have any lessons on how to compress the bass to make it sound thicker and fuller and so the levels don't keep going up and down on the channel to keep it all at one level. Thanks
Thanks Robert. Check out bass rider 👍 th-cam.com/video/bu7dPkxU20w/w-d-xo.html
@@SeanDivine thank you
lol i thought about this from layering trance basslines... haha epic :P
This beat is lit!
Amazing vid
PRECIATE YOU
🔥🔥🔥
YO THAT BEATS COLD
Hi, your video help me a lot, many appreciate.
awesome!
wow, thanks al lot!
Helped a ton, thank you 🤙
🙌
Dude that was genius!
Do you master you own tracks??
thanks! I do
Que buena técnica 🙌
Are you able to show how to make bass nation styled 808's ?
wow! thankyou, liked - subbed - belled
:)
That beat is fire...gotta see a tutorial on that one!
th-cam.com/video/HjRVupI2Rvo/w-d-xo.html
Sean Divine thanks bro ✊🏿
Wow! Fucking legitness 🔥🙌🏽
Thanks for such informative and valuable vids!
Is this a ‘standard’ technique that could/should be applied to all songs with low bass?
I wouldn't say standard and there's no "always" in mixing... I use it often, just depends on the song :)
I have problems when seperating the 808. Its maybe because this sample aint perfect for this move. I can Not make it Hit as hard as if i let the 808 alone. I get some weird phasing issues. Maybe i will give it a try again but i think i will be sticking to multiband effects on the high frequencies of the 808 :) or am i doing something wrong maybe ?
Awesome! ISt's such a detail but gives great impact.
My question, is this usable on any other samples`? Like a kick drum or melody?
And If I "Sidechain" with an EQ (Automation) Will It disturb eachotehr ?
So!? Are you sidechaining the 808 to each other? What difference would it make if you sidechained the hi 808 to the lo and vise versa?
Thanks for the tutorial, Sean! I have one more problem with the 808s. What you explained in this video works fine for my 808s when they have all the same tone through the song. On some songs, I use 808s with a quite big tonal range. Some of these tones are way quieter then others. What can i do?
Here's a beat i made, where the issue is noticeably to hear when the 808s start to play: soundcloud. com/englishg2000/purple-drop
sometimes different notes of the 808 will be louder, depending on the speakers you're listening to. If you want to make the levels more consistent, you can EQ the louder notes to be quieter or use multiband compression
Thanks! I'll try it in the next sessions :)
Awesome! What quantize setting did you use for this beat?
Hey Sean, In the video I saw you leave the 808 comp release at 0 when sidechaining the kick. If I am not sidechaining the kick would you play with the release time on the 808 comp?
yes, this is specifically for sidechaining (going for the most transparent / quickest response)
@@SeanDivine Thanks Boss!
good technique althpugh that distrtion was so ugly texture wise. i mix my beats to the texture like painting with oils or acrylics too much fuzz can be too rough unless you going for that texture. bitcrusher allow more smoother finish or rough with more control than the distortion preset. also you did map the eq to get some of the specific tectures to jump out. for example listen to beyonce track she just dropped called already the 808 high tones were literally dancing through any system you play them on. great video anyways
Is there any stock logic plugins that can substitute for stereo delta.
you should do fl 20 content for the mac users
Thanks for great video Sean. Just one quick question. Can I EQ HIGH 808 track (of course using Linear phase EQ to avoid phase issues) or it's better to leave it as it is (apart from cutting low freq of course). Abd also when further in process I want to EQ that 808 sound I understand the best way is to group LOW and HIGH into group channel (BUS) and EQ them together. Thank you. Lucas
Hey Sean, just wondering how I can lease this beat? I can’t find it on Stefan’s website
Awesome video! Anybody knows any plugin that sounds like this Logic pro stock distortion plugin? I tried Fab filter staturn, Izotope Trash, Ableton native overdrive and non of them sounds like this :/ Perhaps it depends on the source of the sound but I wonder if that distortion is a specific one to logic. Thanks!
It’s specific to Logic. It definitely has to do with the source, too. I always grab i, first, whenever I need a distortion; sometimes it’s perfect; sometimes it’s not quite what I’m looking for.
This literally could not have dropped at a better time lol
:)
in the same boat
pure facts
Should I delay the high frequency 808 in the inspector to avoid phase issues?
is there a low pass on the hi-hats? they sound harsh as if you cut out every above 15khz-ish.
I hadn't done anything other than leveling to the other tracks in this lesson. I do the EQ and other processing later in this course - bit.ly/divine-beat-mixing
ah ok - just wanted to make sure my ears weren't broken.
