A real plate verb? I would MAKE space for that shit.

Good video and advice. What I will say about high-pass EQ with kick and bass: if you are LAYERING sounds together, you'll want to avoid high-pass on your lowest kick / sub bass and leave well alone. But for layers further up towards the lower mids, you ARE going to want to high-pass those so they do not mask the lower bass area.

good advice. really helpful getting feedback, looking online for forums to serve up burgers. :D

so how do you do this in a DAW besides Ableton, like studio one

14:51 This is misleading: overshooting 0dBFS here (or at any intermediate point of your signal chain) is not what results in the unwanted clipping that you describe. So even if the plugin's GUI shows some flashy ominous red warning, no clipping happens at this specific point in the signal chain. That's because your Ableton session and all your plugins are working with a 32bit floating-point signal, which can represent signals way above 0dBFS and therefore gives your signal a virtually infinite headroom. That kind of unwanted clipping (and thus distortion) will only happen when a bit depth conversion happens, ie. when the signal is sent to your soundcard or rendered to a lower bit depth audio file. Quite notably, you can have all your tracks summing way over 0dBFS, and it won't clip as long as you apply gain reduction on the master bus before the signal goes "out" of your DAW. So yes, obviously there is no point in purposefully mixing at like 200dBFS only to then apply a 200dBFS reduction on the master bus, but it's important to pinpoint where in the signal chain distortion may or may not occur, so that when you do have an unwanted distortion you can more efficiently find out where it's coming from.

You've explained it perfectly, thanks!!

Cool

Fantastic advice. Thank you

This sounds like EDM

4:36 I think you could have made much better settings in the multiband compressor. You are compressing too much and too aggressively changed the balance of the track. Live's multiband dynamics can be controlled yet subtle if you carefully set it ( by ear ) and don't let the visuals impact your decision making too much. You could have also used different crossovers, more suited to your example track.

Great video! When you say this mix is far from perfect, what exactly do you mean? I feel like people often say that but never show a "perfect" mix. Is it still missing sounds in certain frequency bands or do you mean it's not fine-tuned perfectly?

Amazing video, thank you

Thank you brother, with your tutorials im finally able to have a professional mix. A full mixing session with mix and master from start(zero work) to finish would be sick! Cheers from Sweden.

echt super, vielen Dank :)

Brilliant video this will help me so much

Great tutorial thank you

Excellent truly ... I agree totally .. whoever is setting the controls to the heart of the sun ( the creators ) has to have taste and intelligence ... Whether it be unconditioned naivety ( often surprising as they have no boundaries ) or knowledgeably experienced the talent will be in the editing , revision and execution of their thoughts ... Inside to outside integrity etc . This has been the best no nonsense explanation of the yet to be realised . Bring on the clever clogs of tomorow. Russell :)

Cool tune :)

Thx bro, needed that

great fun to play with thanx...

Like an old school noise gate key. Cool.

Never been a fan of M/S processing because it literally tears the fabric of the sounds, losing focus and solidity in the process. To be used extremely sparingly if ever....

That is not weird. If left and right channel have same identical audio it means it will be mono. This is what makes MONO, Mono in stereo systems haha. So when you have 3 different signals, they will have identical harmonic information in some frequencies so these are also going to be heard in mono way, thats why you still hear it.

I just really started diving into your videos and seeing a lot of very helpful info. I have to say, this was probably the most useful/helpful video I've run into in a while. I really struggle with getting good width in my tracks, and this video really laid it out for me. I'm the guy that has that lead synth (or other parts) that look like the horizontal smear on a goniometer... and I wonder why my tracks leads sound so dead and narrow compared to pro tracks, no matter how much I try. Well, it seems it's mainly because im focusing on the wrong thing.. trying to widen something I shouldn't be, making things worse and causing phasing issues. This definitely gives me better knowledge to understand what is really happening, why my attempted solution doesn't work, and what I can do in order to achieve a better, wider sound. Thank you :)

You had me at hello but lost me at black box. Great example showing sum and deference.

Great video

Great video!

This channel is great. High quality information, reminds of the great Dan Worall. It's refreshing. I realized a bit late that MOST KZbinrs only cares about clicks, comments and views to grow and make a living by monetizing clickbait shitty content. Seriously, thanks. This kick tuning nightmare reminds me of that famous ''Use your ears'' that everyone says and that I used to hate. It's the most irritating quote, and the most important one. The hell with asking yourself which key is that, or to use linear or minimum, or which hi pass slope. Feels like trusting your ears is the first and last step of audio processing.

Thanks. Best/Mathias

I love how you make it really obvious (isolate) which frequency range you're affecting, because it's really hard for some of us untrained in mixing to actually know what to listen to. Up until now, I thought I simply lack the talent and that there's little chance I could ever learn it. So, thank you.

With the amount of tracks I see being released lately that literally peak ABOVE -0 Lufs, the loudness war is anything but dead lol

When you release this track ? ;P

Nice channel good information but use a de-esser on your voice please 🙂

The sound you are altering at 9- 10:00 is the best sound by far so much I would ditch the rest of the track and really rock that noise. Including the bass at 11 that does the same pattern. Not because anything is bad, but because that sound was standout good.

Thanks for that! Do you know by any chance if EQ8 when in m/s mode has linear phase?

Amazing video as always. I just have one thing i didnt really understand. you often mention density, i dont fully understand what u mean by that

Awesome brother 🔥

I would have expected you to use a low-shelf for the kickdrum, instead of a high-pass, to preserve the phase as much as possible. You did use a high-shelf for the perc + hihats to tame that a little. Good video tho!

just the video i was looking for. thanks bro

Hey I have an idea. Maybe stop continuing making music using 25 year old formulas.

Mix like an artist, great tip. Can we turn it around and say: mixing is an art? Mixing into a limiter seems to be useful for genres with a constant ooomph like edm. Never do it since I do want natural dynamics for my music, guitar based.

Gute Tipps.

Great video, really appreciate the info. Does anyone know how to enable the LUFS meter on the pro L-2? Ive been using the youlean loudness meter this whole time, and I cant figure out how to enable the extra meter in the pro L-2

Endlich jemand, der gut erklären kann! 🤗

I want to be the 1% club 😂

This is not favorite plugins this is Plugin -Allianse Promo 😂😂😂😂
