5 tips to INSTANTLY step up your 808 MIXING GAME (trap & hip-hop)

Mixing Guide: 1. Fix every sound with eq if needed. But I recommend having great sounds so you dont waste your time. 2. Add effects to your sounds if the beat needs it. 3. EQ the low end of every sound until it still sound great. But don't eq your kick & 808 only if you want more or less punch. For this kind of thing I recommend using a transient shaper plugin like Transient Master by NI or the default fl plugin not an EQ. 4. Gainstaging: For trap music, Kick & Clap (or snare) should be the loudest element because thats moves the head. Put the kick at - 6, Put the snare around -5,5 and the 808 a little bit under it. The rest always depends on the beat and the style. 5. Sidechain: I recommend sidechaining everything for the kick a tiny bit. This way when the chorus comes you will have much more impact. Do everything like EdTalenti said about sidechaining. Plus thing: check out how long your kick is in ms, and set the release the exact same amount. 6: Your mix is done. Mastering: Have an eq plugin which has an output gain knob. I recommend Fabfilter Pro-Q 2. Do a cut at 20hz. And make your mix clip a little bit with the output knob. 7: The secret thing: Put on the master after the eq a clipper plugin. (FL Studio users: Fruity Soft Clipper) This makes your beat sound much harder and louder at the same time without distortion. Hope this helped you, and feel free to correct me in the comments. Maybe your advice helps somebody.

[@jacopocinelli1410]

To me the snare at -5,5 db sounds too loud, I usually put it at around -15 because it is mainly made of mid-high frequencies

[@trapnest_music]

-6 peak or RMS? Also, you cut at 20Hz on the master? And what's a clipper? Compressor? Saturator? I'm asking cause I use Ableton and I don't think I got a clipper. Thanks

[@g.k.keyser7975]

@@trapnest_music -6 peak in the mix, this way your output on the master will be around - 6 as well which is perfect for rappers to sing when they buy the trackouts from you. On the master lowcut at 20hz with an eq, and increase the output gain within the eq until your master level is above 0 peak. Then after the eq put a clipper plugin. (like T-racks soft clipper or maybe there is some free ones, search on KZbin or Google)

[@g.k.keyser7975]

@@trapnest_music Clipper is a clipper its like a limiter without compression, basicly it takes your clipping mix and limit it in a nice and smooth way so you dont get any distortion only if you make crazy things.

Great video. I feel like mixing is the hardest thing to do for me when making beats so this is super useful thank you

[@EdTalenti]

Really glad it helped!

[@arminius2404]

I watched Mixing tutorial for the last 2 years and I learned more with this amazing video than the last two years. Thank you for this helpful video. Talenti you are fire 🔥

Edtalenti on the beat BOY!!!!

[@EdTalenti]

🙏🔥

[@knowledge3.072]

I was actually surprised you didn't use a flute this time...

[@ofri925]

Quick recommendation: use linear phase eq when you're dealing with low end. regular eq moves the phase which can be really critical when dealing with low end.

[@EdTalenti]

Good advice!

[@Sepi666]

Great video dude. You explained everything comprehensively and it was easy to undertand. Also the beat was nasty like always🥶

[@EdTalenti]

Ayyye thanks bro 🙏

[@mic.james_sa]

Dude that big muddy fart killed me! 🤣🤣🤣

[@OkMarionPark]

You explained that so good my g! Most youtubers talk in circles and half engineer code like we are all at the same level. I subscribed because I didn’t have to rewind out of confusion. I don’t have FL, I use protools, I’ll have to watch more. I might explain mixing vocals better than half the people on KZbin as well lol.

[@JohnDoe-pm9ip]

I never understood side-chaining until you explained exactly what it is doing. Thank you.

Dope video

[@Deenk2009]

808 Sub 20 Hz / Kick 20 Hz y aqui esta! Magia!! todo suena genial!! xD, hace falta mucha mas ecualizacion, para que el Kick y el sub dejen de pelear en esa zona, los 40 y 50 Hz son muy peligrosos, y entre los 95 y los 130 Hz, tambien... a veces es mejor o hacer una mezcla buenisima y que ambos se complementen entre si (que es complicado) o hacer Sideshain (de muchas formas) podemos hacer un high cut en el kick hasta los 40 Hz o 50 Hz dependiendo del kick... si el 808 tiene mucho cuerpo, la cuestion es jugar y jugar hasta encontrar el equilibrio. Un Abrazo Crack!

[@ceik1223]

as always a great vid, but i felt u wnet through the sidechaining part without givin the last sauce such as the gain and release which i think for most are almost equally important... but hey you'll probably do that in another vid if u haven't already ;)

[@tomrao4]

Great tips!! Alot of top engineers suggest that sidechaining is completely unnecessary.

[@EdTalenti]

Yeah it depends a lot on what samples you pick and also personal taste 👍

[@dvnty6481]

Laskoo 🔥🔥🔥

[@JANEEL]

I subscribeeeeedddd

[@hitto_dubstep]

when you eliminate frqs like this with eq8 you kinda fucking up the phase so i recommend to use a 3rd party linear eq like waves low band

[@fishbonegaga]

Great ! Thanks a lot . I didn't try shaper box 2 yet , how is it ? Actually you could do vst review sometime.

[@takingsoulss]

doesn't it make any difference where you put the utility for gain staging? before the eq or after? at the end or after the sampler? please i need to know this!

[@dashm33]

with the low cut we shouldnt just blindly do it with every 808 right? some still feel good with those frequencies hitting

[@EdTalenti]

I actually used Quicktime and edited everything in Final Cut

[@salvaloco13]

@@EdTalenti thanks the reply my guy

[@mattremblay_]

Solid tips! Just wanted to ask about the clipping happening within the sidechain that i can see happening under the threshold? Shouldn’t that be gain staged before going into the sidechain? Let me know! Cheers

[@EdTalenti]

It was but I selected the kick "pre-fx" so it bypasses it but doesn't make a difference. It's just to set the level for the threshold 👍

[@mattremblay_]

EdTalenti oh okay so after you set the level do you switch it back to post FX?

[@Rens_Beats]

Fire video, what scale did you set the push to for the piano?

[@EdTalenti]

Tbh I don't remember now lmao

[@EmvyBeats]

Would sidechain EQ on the 808 to drop in the frequency range of the kick be better? since its not dropping the whole volume of the 808? I don't even know how to do it if its possible.

Thanks for (more than anything) to have fun with all this stuff💕
