yeah but he doesn't speak about production, he is talking about mixing and people usually bring trash for you to make it sound better. So these advice are really legit. Layering helps to fix bad sound selection for sure.

@@SoundPeaks ... But that's not the mixing portion, that's a production tip. Sure, it helps if you completely produce a new track out of one that's sent to you - but that's not fundamentally your job as a mixer.

im 50/50 on this.. sometimes layering percussive samples like hats and snares with more of the same kinda samples give a weird phased out sound.

Yeah 100% if you can do it without layering you should. At the point where you are layering your client's drums you might as well change them outright.

You can try phase flipping them or giving them a delay of a few milliseconds, voxengo latency delay and melda mUtility can both do this

I'd like to add that a lot of this depends on the vibe of the track as well. If you're making heavy dubstep, it's essential to have these harsh transients. If have a super mellow track, you're probably fine with rounder transients.

That is a good tip also for synths i rather layer than distort or compress them , cause u make sound bigger rather than overcompressed and u also get nice texture with it if u do it the right way.

I notice you don't really use Macros in Logic Which would allow you to automate multiple parameters to one or two Macros to a knob by pressing B to bring up the control panel. I was in Logic for 6 years before switching to Ableton 11 in time for the free update to 12 but 12 is so powerful. If you're going to be doing midi tracks a lot Live is just better made to do it. I still use Logic for some things but Live is just better made for electronic music genres.

I also don't understand layering and then saying the transients pop more when your snare and hihat are now level with your kick. Your kick is supposed to be the loudest element, everything else moves in the spaces between kicks in tracks like this. If you make your hihat this loud that is going to ruin your ability to drive the limiter in the mastering change without pumping.
@2cthetruth2 ай бұрын
Correct. Try 7.1 dbu to the side chain with the limiter set on “flab” while pushing the 5khz band to the compressor to 2.6dbu with the octave resonance set to “normal.” This will give the kick room while also giving the hi hat room.

Not gonna lie, the first after mix demo has lost all punch from the kick and everything is FAR too wide. The fact that 75% of people listen to music on phones or crappy earbuds isn't going to make a difference adding more wideness to mixes when the more intimate closer sound of the original sounded pretty good overall just needed some EQ and compression and that's it.
