Hey! These are all great questions. I can only really give some general advice on here since I’m limited on the comments and there’s a ton to cover. 1. Use high quality samples to avoid over processing. Normally, you can’t really make crap sound good with a bunch of processing (there are some rare exceptions). 2. Use a reference track to see what direction you want to take the song to and mark where the intro is, build ups, chorus/drops are. This will help you with arrangement. You can also google “house music arrangement” or any genre to get a visual idea as well. The sound waves on the reference tracks will also give you a good idea. 3. Processing: leverage the big 3 (saturation, eq, compression). A little bit of all 3 is more than enough to get a solid mix. Don’t worry about fancy plug ins. The basics will get you to a pro level. 4. Use a spectrum analyzer like span to reference other tracks high level mixing and levels. This will help you get your mix some what close to your favorite artists tracks. 5. Don’t over think it. Focus on arrangement by referencing, basic eq,sat, comp, and use high quality samples. You don’t need to be perfect. Just make your song playable. I plan to make a series on the specifics to get people gig/label ready. My other videos cover some low end tips to help you with that as well. There’s a lot to go over with these questions but I hope this gives you some general guidance 🙏🏼

Thank you jefe 🫡

Heck yeah! I’m happy it helped! That’s a remix I made a while back of Monaco by Bad Bunny. All background songs in my videos are my IDs.

@@croco.nation oh ok, that’s hard af. I was constantly replaying the outro lol. Btw you guys thought about making a video on how to make Latin Afro house from scratch maybe ?

Haha thank you! Im going to release it early 2025 on my SoundCloud. Most likely. I will probably go over a whole song in an arrangement/composition. How to structure an Afro Latin track. Anything on particular you’d like to see?

@ nooiice, I’m a beginner (only made 1 track) so I take every single advice and I really don’t have a picky thing I wanna learn, just the track overall. Btw props to the fast replies :)

I have some videos on beginner tips and essentials. I hope those will help. That’s awesome, keep at it! 👊🏼. Thank you! I try to be as engaged as possible.

🙏🏼

Thank you for watching and giving feedback. Yes, I plan on making full series videos from start to finish that include full processing, mixing, mastering, arrangement, etc. These videos are more so high level snippets at the moment.

🙏🏼

I don’t have that option available yet. Though, I plan on setting something up in the future!

I had to 😂

🙏🏼

Thank you fam! I appreciate the support 🙏🏼

Thank you! I appreciate the support and kind words. It is Ableton 11. I haven't upgraded yet lol.

Thank you! Yes, this is something I may do in the future. I will most likely do a comprehensive course with templates included.

@@croco.nation sounds great and thanks for the quick reply

Thank you bro 🫡

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Coming soon bro 😎

🙏🏼

I randomly came across it in Kontakt: Cloud Supply instrument - Hendu preset. Hopes this helps bro.

@@croco.nation what a guy ty ❤

I gotchu bro 🤝

It’s a classy 101 remix in working on rn. Going to upload to my SoundCloud once it’s out: on.soundcloud.com/AAa3f8AY4d19ochw7

@@croco.nation how would copy right work? would you get the sample cleared or since you're publishing a remix w/ out making profit it should work out fine?

Appreciate the kind words. Looking forward to hearing your bangers 🤝

Thank you bro! Yeah, I plan on eventually making a video on mastering. Though, I would say mixing is more important.

Every song is gonna need it's own adjustment for mix/master. It's not a one size fits all

@@DJLeskoDetroityou’re absolutely right. There are some fundamentals or general rules but never a one size fits all.

@@DJLeskoDetroit yeah no shit I just wanted to see what he did for this one

NP! I got you 😎

I got you bro 🫡

Thanks! There are many ways but you can leverage “Utility” within Ableton and increase width. Other plug ins like rc-20 and many more have a width option too.

Sheeeshhh! Thank you bro! 🤟🏼
