What do YOU do to your mixes? Let me know by commenting below!

[@aaroncampmusic]

What do I do to my mixes? Try not to mess them up! ha ha. I have a Wes Audio Prometheus I like on my 2 buss and it has stereo/dual mono/mid side modes. I'll have to try this! I also like running mixes through my Otari mx 50 50 with Ampex 406!

[@edkrausmixengineer]

I put every channel through the Brainworx SSL 4000e strip and adjust the THD screw to taste. This is a way of controlling how hard you are pushing the console in each instance. Sometimes I take all the THD out. A piano for instance. Sometimes I crank it all the way. This work particularly well on lead guitars.

[@tone9930]

But, a lot of plugins have m/s. So...How do you "stack" m/s plugins on busses and maybe the mix bus. ? Thats my big Q. Just trying to work it out...

[@glendon6367]

I found a limiter plug-in the other day that brought my previously mastered track (alternative punk/rock) to a place that sounded much more fun to the ear. The drums sounded fatter/more chaotic, guitar sounded more intense and vocals slightly improved. Fooled around for an hour, rendered it and the next day it did not sound as good as I thought. It's interesting what your mind/ears can do while in the moment and had I backed off 15% it probably would have been great. Is there such a thing as "mastering" tracks different depending on their genre or is it purely personal preference?

[@GuitarFuel]

This is so cool !👍 thx for sharing it!

When Marc explains; I listen. Really enjoy his lessons, tips, tricks etc.

Possibly the clearest explanation of creative use of M/S technique I’ve heard. Love the 15% rule caveat!

[@LocaliLLocano]

Agreed

Wonderful Steve!

Love Marc’s videos. It’s not just his calm, cool explanations but the music used for examples are amazing!

[@wayveemusic]

I really enjoy what you do and what you share. This is simple trick but exactly what i need right now! Thank you.

[@unitedsouls11]

Thank you, this is a great lesson that even helped me to lively up a techno mix, even with a mono track and a stereo track that only allowed me to use the eq in stereo mode and not in mid side mode. But even that way it just made the track sound better. thanks again!

[@moritzvdforst]

Thanks for this video... I already did this before but it helped me to understand better. I love m/S processing and even recording, cause it is so wonderful mono compatible.

[@bryancolevox]

Great video! Thanks Marc!

[@Preachmusic4u]

my gosh, I may not know much about you but your music mixing science is phenomenal. its like simple things you do are so subtle and those simple subtle things make a huge difference. It shows i have a long way to go to being half of pro mixer of this caliber.

I have nothing to say, genius. And somehow for some reason the music give me motivation. Thank you very much!

wow awesome ... love this song and the sound with these tiny little moves... awesome.

[@jacobcarrisalez2477]

As always great stuff!

[@robpittman3132]

I like doing this with fat synths as well when they’re overlapping vocals. I dynamically reduce the overall level of the synth in the midrange in the centre channel, while still making it poke through on the sides.

[@bluenotecat]

Loved it! Thanks a million.

[@trip_.j]

Thank you! The video was super helpful

[@KellyDavidMusic]

I didn't know this trick ! thanks

[@ogcubaa7180]

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks

[@NMPIN]

I've had a problem with lush stereo mixes sounding tinny on tablets and phones. The mid side EQ on the mix buss solved that issue quick smart. Watching your demo on a tablet I heard the issue appear and resolve.

[@charliekey2979]

Good advice, Thank you!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@JustinNathanielAdams]

Whoa... I'm going to use this. Thanks!

[@aaron_stanton]

Awesome. I actually never knew how M/S eq worked. Definitely want to try this now, with the 15% rule in mind of course. Thanks for an excellent video as always. 👍

[@themindbadger8]

Excellent as always. The song almost sounded flat with the MS stuff removed. Another great trick to add the 'glitter'

[@ivankind3151]

That really works!!! Thank you so much🙏

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much

[@JonAnderhub]

Thanx! That was some good stuff there

Marc, you are a brilliant producer. The tricks you teach work like heaven, and I use them on all of my mixes. I dream of having a series of private lessons with you. But I guess that it's not possible, because you are busy. Anyway, all the best to you, you are brilliant.

[@sergelaporte4295]

I really like the fact thay you actually mix and use real music to demonstrate different techniques. That, to my ears, is far more pertinent than to put 24 compressors and distortion plugins on an already dull , dead and soulless and distorted snare... Well done, Sir :)

[@Tom-Studios]

Marvelous

[@kennedydulira1799]

That's a beautiful song

[@rokkinranch6215]

Great video! One of those moments you feel that you have really learned something remarkable. The way you put it: like creating an exciter made it clear to me (that just is better than an exciter). As for me I have done lot's of live sounds and for those I have had a routine. I first tune up the P.A. with the album that for me is the best sounding rock album ever: Soundgarden's Superunknown and especially the song Black Hole Sun. In the beginning you think you have great low end, but the real low end really comes later. Once that song sounds good on your system you feel good and ready to work. Then for the band I try to mix it so that I think what kind of an impression the band on stage wants to give and not so much of separate instruments and go from there. For recording my own music I am on the other end of the scale compared to the nice music on this video. If I say that some of my favorite sounding records are MC5:Back in the USA, Iggy Pop: Raw Power, Velvet Underground with Nico, Ramones First and Heartbreakers L.A. M F.that should give a pretty good picture. And with those I mean the original masterings, not remasterings. I guess I want a sound that refuses to be captured in any civilized way. Lately I've been trying to recreate the Ramons first album sound and especially Tommy's drum sounds. I read lot's of discussions about that. Some think the album was recorded with some Tascam 4-track, but then I learned more. I read that the record was recorded at a high end studio in New York and the persons involved were very respected professionals. Then I realized that they had worked hard to get exactly that Lo Fi sound. . They were obviously also very creative and adventurous. They had for instance found out that the grand piano in the studio had resonated and that sound had leaked to one of the drum mics. and they made sure it stayed that way. If you listen to the drums with headphones you (or at leas I) soon start to think that some weird things are happening. One essential part is the Hihat sound. It gives the perfect track for Johnny's guitar to ride on. It is good to keep in mind that Tommy was firstly a producer and just secondly the drummer.

[@RichiRatsch]

Super nice Tip 👍👍👍

[@tobiasjeansson]

Thanks!!

[@raprein3]

What should I look for on youtube to understand all the jargon that is mentioned in this video? Low pass, pushing it right and left, I am not getting exactly how I could translate this to my own daw, ableton or even to davinci in my video projects, but somehow I feel there is gold in this video. So thank you in advance 😊👌
