This single video is PACKED to the brim with so much value, you're the best!! Here's my personal takeaways (timestamps so I can come back later and study): 1:38 bad snacks violin effects (3 takes hard panned l/r) 2:25 slice sample to midi (by 1/4 note if transients are not very pronounced) 4:10 cmd+shift+u to quantize (not 100%) 4:47 remember to fix velocity to 100% when playing samples through midi controller 5:08 increase attack if samples are too harsh at the beginning 5:29 common old school hip hop technique: transpose all samples +5 semitones to give flavor 6:25 add random panning to samples played at the end of the phrases 7:28 sample mixing (RC20) 10:32 cmd+j to consolidate 10:49 make hi-hat loop more tight (reason: high frequency percussion tends to take a lot of space) 11:38 save your favorite drums samples as a drumkit 11:47 set closed and open hi-hats to choke each other (just like in real life) 12:42 mix hi-hats using vulf compressor 3 (to give old school crunch) 14:00 use track delay to nudge entire track backwards 12ms (14:26 if drums are tight on the grid, you can accentuate the groove by pushing back the off beat percussion just a lil) 15:35 mix your drumkit (kick, snare/clap) with drumbuss (make it tighter and give crunch) 17:20 sidechain 18:14 quickfix for velocity overly-sensitive controllers: add midi effects > velocity 18:34 lounge lizard (tine-based BFly1) with RC20 as pad 21:12 another pad layer with synth (w/ cutoff automation towards the end) 23:31 bad snacks electric bass rack 24:44 expand the composition: keep the same instruments but different drum patterns, lead patterns, new bassline, add new elements \/ 25:11 arpeggiator w/ crazy autopan magical8bit 25:50 arrangement

@nsjx4 жыл бұрын
Appreciate the great vid 👋🏽 There’s nothing wrong with mixing “on-the-go” as long as one isn’t futzing around with this settings for too long. many new producers get caught up in this ‘mixing’ as they proceed w tracking/arrangement and it ‘can’ impede the flow of the overall composition process (creative flow). note, this kind of ‘mixing’ does not (often) negate the necessity for a later thorough “mixdown’ stage where all FINAL elements are blended and place “in a pocket” within the total stereo “MIX”. when experienced/“knowledgeable” producers say they are mixing as they go then they often mean making FAST decisions WHILE IN THE FLOW (exactly like she did) that they KNOW will have an impact on the TRACKED instrument/recording or the overall final result. These decisions are made from experience, usually AFTER making a few tracks. I just wanted to warn beginners that it’s not something to worry with in the absolute beginning. This producer’s “settings” and mix decisions MAY be entirely inappropriate to the kind of music YOU are making. It’s often better (until you got a few tracks under your belt) to just go with the flow and get to arranging the song as efficient as possible. One will automagically gradually learn their style and will be better suited to implement FAST “mixing” (tonal/gluing/gelling) decisions as time goes by. I got myself into that rut a while back and I just wish to make sure no one else does the same. Get to arrangement fast WHILE you are in The Zone. This doesn’t apply to everyone (it is Art afterall), but I know this worrying about HAS affected many creative beginners in getting finished tracks. This only a suggestion to help you get to the end of a finished arrangement. Rant over ;)
@davelanciani-dimaensionx4 жыл бұрын
I'm a big fan of trying to get everything sounding like a final mixdown right up front. I like the initial sounds to be as close to the final song as possible. When it's time to mix the final song, most of the work is done.
@rumtrax4 жыл бұрын
One thing these videos hardly ever mention is that the mixing begins with the incoming signal from the external instrument/mic that they are gonna be recording in to the DAW. And how to maintain the gain stage with all the elements to be brought over to the project for ex. all the samples they are picking up from different sources. Even though Ableton and other new DAW's are quite good with headrooms it is still quite essential to understand where to aim with the levels of your sources already during the writing/sound design process I reckon.

I had a friend who loved making beer. He made some wonderful suds that rivalled the factory breweries. Then one year he went to a craft brew festival and his mind was so blown away with what he encountered from brew masters who were miles more talented than he could ever be, he quit brewing because he could never reach that level of beer flavor that these people could...so he packed up his house and move to a state with lots of craft brew masters and never looked back. Watching this video of how she creates this sound...well, kinda makes me wanna do the same thing as my friend up there...Why bother, when people like her are out there making what I can only dream of ever accomplishing?

@@mindbuzz4670 It all depends, Madlib can get away with very little elements in his beats but his endlessly repetitive loops sound even better than most thorough-composed piece of music because he knows how to put grooves together masterfully.
