[@djlokho]

Didnt realize those shades of green represented average and peak. Also, I’ve been fooling my ears by not matching the gain increase some effects/plugins cause. Huge game changer. Thank you as always

[@ELLIOT8209]

You can use a clipper plugin to tuck in that light shade(peak) into the dark shade(rms) and achieve more headroom and avoid overworking the limiter on the master. Check out the Clip To Zero method by Baphometrix.

@@EDMTips I've tried to mix people's vocals into my instrumentals, but because we are all just file sharing, I find it hard to mix it in because they used crumby microphones, or peaked too often in the recording. The vocals can't be re-recorded. Are there tips for fixing noisy vocal recordings?

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome :)

[@neroldeer]

Nice! Follow the flow is the perfect . The path I follow is 1. Stage the sound plugin. (Obviously that doesn't exist when is just stems). 2. Input gains (Cubase has it built-in - looks like ProTools needs a plugin but should be identical or at a minimum considered step 3). 3. Stage the input effect plugins. 4. Stage the Effect groups/busses. 5. Stage the Buss groups.... rinse and repeat 3 through 5 as needed depending on your buss setup. Finally, when needed - 6. The Faders.... if you do all the above correctly, the faders should mainly sit a 0 and just be used for volume automation. Obviously, there are exceptions depending on what you are trying to do but overall, that covers 95% of it.

[@neroldeer]

It's hard to cover everything when pinpointing something, and the points of not over obsessing is perfect, but, while it's not being said here, there are two points to keep in mind while gain staging. 1. Use your ears, not just your eyes... "move it all to -18db!!" can kill a mix when it destroys specific loudness's the music needs. 2. Keep your peaks in sight. Mastering needs at least -3db, better is -6db to work with. -18db should keep you below those levels but some percussion or big/wide drones or had hits can push above that range.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! i was in a rut for hours trying to find a good db ratio for my sounds, and this fixed it. my track is so much cleaner and more smooth now

[@repasiv]

This opened my eyes a bit. I haven't cared much about gain in the daw, as most of them are 32 bit float anyway, so even if you clip something on the meter, you can dial it back on your next stage, no distortion should happen. But I've got also in a different setting a behringer x32 console and the manual states the same.... set your input gains to -18 dB, which is actually the top of the green region on the meters. I have been using it like this on the x32 and doing it in a daw makes totally sense. Thank you!

Hi Will, I'm devouring all your videos one by one, I'm coming from a "little" creative block and you're getting back the fresh spark of creativity and the desire to continue composing and mixing. Particularly, this technique was one of my favourite in the past (it's the most comfortable way for mixing as well), but I've got rushed by the "more volume on each track" syndrome and lost my way. Thanks for this super clear reminder, for your awesome explanations and, equally important, the A/B demo results of one way and another. Really really appreciated. You have a new fan for sure!

[@elkinsmedia]

Hey great job breaking that down to a practical list that follows signal flow and explaining why gain staging makes a difference in the actually fader movement- I knew all of this stuff but for some reason felt weird about using secondary gain utility plug which is stupid. Another good side effect of having gains at the end of the fx chain on each channel is that you can use the last gain to balance- then all your automation is proportional so it just rides on top of the new level. Much better than going into volume automation points- selecting them all and bringing them all down. Also- that last gain plug in can be automated as well. Great job!

Ugh. I wish I watched this earlier in my learning process. I could have saved a TON of frustration. I couldn’t figure out why everything was making sounded so unbalanced and muddy. I had zero clue that you had to balance the gain at each stage of the process. Just went into my last project and made the adjustments and now it sounds incredible.

[@Ezechel.Trifan]

I have an utility on every track, but then I see you putting 2 of them one after another and I'm like "Well, that's stu... - Oh, wait, you're doing it just to sandwich the plugins in-between. Nice". One of the most informative videos for me. Thanks.

[@JozeatTxb]

Very useful video. Just a few old school "reality checks" 1) : possibly the MOST important ultimately :- make sure you have good quality (professional/studio) monitor speakers first!! All that hard work will come to nothing if you cannot hear precisely what is happening. I've had " fantastic results" on some famous modern good speakers, but on going back to my older speakers (eg Yamaha MSP5) which cannot be "fooled" , they have sound me out every time. That also goes to your listening environment (acoustics). 2) I think all in all , lots of modern production relies too much on digital "re-processing", via plethora of plug-ins. That alone instead of making it easier, just gets the project far more complex for relatively little gain - because mostly the samples you have ARE already optimised!! When not recording raw acoustic (eg vocals, live guitars/drums) I often use the "presets" from hardware synths or sound modules (see Yamaha Tyros/Motif) which are 'studio grade' wav recordings anyway_: reprocessing them merely recolours the patches all unnecessarily. Then it's really about simply balancing up the mix levels to optimum -unless original samples are that bad- any , additional plug processing being for effects or final mastering. 3)- Reference music records that have stood out before as perfect engineered masterpieces : In this aspect, lots of the "analogue" pre-DAW recordings (late 80's to early 00's) pop hits are excellent. That's not to say they are perfect, but sonic wise sound that "authentic" simply because of minimal processing. Sometimes this is exactly why they have lasted as hits! This (above) works by the way for ALL music genres including EDM. just my 50 cents. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp2ogpaFacijadk (mega control of mutliple complex sound sources) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4CZqZuCqcuqjZI (sound scaping and dynamics) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYrGYplrhtmrqqc (why sometimes the unprocessed raw audio (no autotune,compress,etc) is the best)

[@lupebeats2036]

Bro this is incredibly 🔥 . I love u u have saved my life. Being stressing up with music for about 5years now and thinking to quit.

[@WORKINPROGRESS-Music]

I’ve never ever ever had a tutorial where I’ve learned so much I normally use the faders to gain stage ! This is gonna help me sooooooo much mate thanks a lot ❤️

[@jeremietoussaint4085]

When you use your faders you are just increasing or decreasing the volume, not the gain ;)

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome! 🙂

[@bernardodocruzeiro2496]

@@jeremietoussaint4085 whats the difference between volume and gain?

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

@@bernardodocruzeiro2496 Im learning about this too, the way I understand it is gain volume is the waveform volume increase/decrease.

[@Lupo150]

@@bernardodocruzeiro2496 see it as Gain - input, Volume - output. So when you're working with a bunch of plugins in a channel you want your GAIN to be (somewhere) around the sweet spot down the processing chain in order to achieve the best possible sound and keep enough headroom for final processing of the whole track. Volume is just how strong, or loud, your sound is in the mix. For example, if you want your strings to be somewhere in the background you'll adjust the VOLUME, not the gain.

[@RePeterPod]

Yknow man i appreciate the little zooms and stock footage you put in. Your editing helps you get to the subject faster than others. I like it.

[@EDMTips]

Cheers! Working with a really good editor now :)

[@MrVinylistic]

Great video and very important facts to get a balanced mix with enough headroom for the mastering. As long as you are working only "in the box" it works fine. The problem of this " -18 dB rule" comes when you would like to integrate external effect processors that are connected to your audio interface (especially some great sounding vintage reverbs and delays with only analog ins and outs ). Then the -18dB leveled signal could be sometimes too low for those external reverb processors and they wouldn't react properly (e.g. no reverb is coming out or only with a lot of hiss). In this case I recommend to copy this certain signal to another track from where you send it to your external reverb processor with an higher average level (maybe -12 dB or -6 dB). Otherwise you wouldn't hear any reverb on your fx returns. Some external reverb boxes offers digital i/o's like AES/EBU or SPDIF, then you stay on the digital domain and you may work with them as a plugin.

[@ed_synth-bass]

At 07:50, that is a tip which seems nonsense, and yet... Really useful for me. Thank you so much Will!

[@DowdenProductionAcademy]

Great video Will! I think my favorite tip is about A/B with your gains matched in volume. So many times I see videos of people cranking a compressor or saturator and then thinking it sounds better because it's only louder!

[@EDMTips]

Exactly!

[@ghonair]

good one!

[@LennonStephens]

Yes. This is the only way to tell what an analogue emulation plug really sounds like.

[@JeuneLysOfficiel]

Thanks for this ! I usually set the gain stage at -18 except for the KICK and Bass wich are at -12, and still have to lower something between 5db and 12db on the Trim to keep under -12 (when using processed or normalized Drums of course)

[@EL_N0IR_2201]

[@JS-wd2bk]

Great Stuff.One great thing that one can take from the meters, is how compressed or not, a particular track is, and also a rough idea of the crest factor per track or in the master, just looking at the peak and RMS tops and the difference between them.

[@thelateraledge]

I do something similar, however I use soft or hard clippers depending on the source material instead of a gain plugin. This allows me to adjust the dynamics of the source sound first, then I use the output gain on the clipper to gain stage. I do it this way, so that if I for example send the source sound to a compressor afterwards, the compressor won't have to work as hard to control the dynamics, which is kind of the common goal here, that being, to feed these plugins with source material which allows them to perform their best. Just something to think about, it is not just the level that effects some of these plugins but also how dynamic the source material is.
