Nolly: “There was this really harsh whistling” *cranks the whistling noise, totally fucking my ears*

[@EthanRadell]

😂😂😂 this killed me lol in his studio/listening space, he's prob got dope monitors and it's probably decently treated and you actually can hear that shit with the correct environment but man that's funny 💀

You are a legend sir

[@GoldSoulsOfficial]

THIS SONG. MUST BE. RELEASED. THANK YOU ⛓🔥

[@davidlinares3320]

I come here everyday just to listen to this song! 48:32

[@Snurfbros]

I've never seen such a clean work flow like this.

[@Wonderlust69420]

Nolly articulates things in the most digestible way, and then the content of it is a whole other dimension to the quality of his stuff. Thanks so much!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Thanks for watching!

[@victornevares]

Can't get enough of nolly tutorials, i mean, i'm learning, having fun and getting inspired at the same time, gotta love this dude wisdom.

[@rollacoastaride1937]

these videos are like the citizens advice bureau of production, much appreciated

[@DarkRattlehead]

Nolly, you have a really soothing voice and pace, it makes the video really enjoyable. You should do voice acting for documentaries and storytelling when you get old, Morgan Freeman's not gonna be here forever! Great workflow, I'm a big fan of the top down approach myself. It prevents from gutting the drums to a point where they don't sound like anything anymore. Will watch your next videos for sure. Oh and your impulse response sounds ridiculously good at what it does

[@lukemoralesTV]

Nolly already was a hell of a mixer when he produced Juggernaut, but you can see how nowadays he's got even better and is in a whole nother level!

[@QuincyKane]

I'm gonna be coming back to these videos a lot, haha! I purchased your session of Nail the Mix (which helped me immensely), but the vocals were already mostly processed, so I really appreciate you sharing your vocal process in this video!

[@christmas-telecaster]

I just wanted to say that i have played and recorded music most of my life, but your videos has really helped me step up my game in the studio to a whole new level. I really hope you see this comment and know that your videos really help us that struggles a lot to really be better so thank you very much Nolly!

[@marcpeiron_studio]

This is one of the most inspiring mixing videos I seen on Internet. I have learnt a lot. Thank you, Nolly!

[@richardwilliams3497]

These videos are amazing. Answers a ton of random little questions I’ve had. Finally got a GetGood library today, not disappointed

[@RoccoPezzin]

That mid-side trick is super cool!

[@mitchelllee358]

Blew my mind!

[@iseeu-fp9po]

That's the part I didn't quite get... :/ Was it an EQ on a stereo track...? A group track?

[@pyarmusicstudios4624]

Incredible as always Nolly. Nailed it.

[@ninjasyndrom]

I absolutely love your videos, Nolly! STUNNING amount of knowledge. And wisdom ;). Thanks!

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your insight!

[@NickDelaneyMusic]

Thanks Nolly! Greatly appreciated!

Not afraid to use that EQ Nolly! Wish I had that plugin with my parents back then. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@joaquinpinochet3719]

You´ve helped so much with this class, than you so much

[@miketesoriero]

Will be using that mid side trick for sure! Already use it at times, but I'll be using it more! I use F6 on my guitar buss and side chain it to the vocal to slightly duck the guitars out of the way of the vocals in M/S mode.

[@Amber097]

I had used a high pass filter and a stereo enhancer in the case like 21:30. This is helpful for me, it sounds very natural.

[@GerryTrevino]

Thank you for this!

[@AlucardXIX]

Every time I see one of these ridiculous things Nolly does that are so simple I feel stupid. The Mid/side Eq on the synth is brilliant, and I have the perfect project to try it on!

[@heyimdalton1]

Nolly, been a fan of yours since way back from the Harmony Central days. Just wanted to say thanks for this and all your other wonderful content. A true professional in every way.

[@TheDkmg]

Nolly is a huge influence on my mixing style ❤ I'm following him since creative live first course then nail the mix and now on GGD 😍 I'm super grateful to be stalker haha 😅

[@maxmolodtsov]

[@TheRafaboka]

I love you learnig, you and misha are a dreaming couple tone FX guys in same insane band OMG!!!

[@fahadhc]

SO DETAILED I LOVE IT Thank you so much man.. really the secret of a good mix is good tracking, this video proves that. Nolly you are a genius with your methods.

[@XiyuYang]

Yep, if the source is recorded right you really don't need to do a lot of processing, but if the recording sounds wrong, no amount of processing can redeem that, could salvage a bit though

[@jacobsmith1877]

Phenomenal vocalist. He gave you some really great audio sausages!

[@monsieurabsurd1395]

Fantastic video series! Loved both of them. My only gripe would be when you're showing us the A/B comparison's, also show it in context with the mix. It would help with your explanations on why/what you're doing. For example - when you're on the rhythm guitars and talking about the eq'd version's sounding a little more harsh than the un-eq'd version's, showing us the A/B in context with the mix would have helped further demonstrate your point. Awesome series and thank you for this!

[@cutrona8956]

Super informativ, thanx a lot!!

[@danknittel1250]

Fantastic video! =)

[@joeyvpoisonfree]

Thanks dude

[@KRayxKodessA]

Is it just me, or do the verse vocals sound like the singer has the mic touching his mouth in certain points? Amazing video, btw. I could watch Nolly iron a napkin.

[@andromeda6463]

It could be a weekly thing #nollywithanapkin

[@Herbieswizz]

YES THANK GOD!!!

[@GerardVachon]

It’d be dope to get these stems or even just a bounce of this song because it’s catchy as hell

[@BenvanGeest]

Hi Adam, could you perhaps share you bass IR with us? That would be very cool. Thanks for these video series. Excellent!

[@jero_mendez]

I need 1 month with nolly to learn all, Nolly Bootcamp :D

[@Penninn]

Nolly has a great Creative Live Bootcamp available. Check it out.

[@J-MLindeMusic]

Really recommend everyone to check out that Creative Live bootcamp. It's a goddamned goldmine!

[@aaronpace7885]

This was an awesome series to watch, I just was wondering how Nolly had the Pro Q2's analyzer tilt set?

[@chamelious]

This was fantastic thanks so much. If /hopefully when you do another, would really appreciate a look at the thought process of actually making stuff fit together. A lot of these mix tutorials emphasize how important it is to make choices based on the mix as a whole but still only show changes being made in isolation.

[@willthomas7365]

I think because he's such an experienced engineer, he can make these changes in isolation and know how they will affect the mix fit together. The best engineers can consider how each individual part affects every other part.

[@polpottopg]

wow all this work and effort for 40k views :( we appreciate you nolly

[@JoshuaTheKvlt]

Think I might have to revisit Scuffham S-Gear. The Wayfarer model is sick.

[@carlasker9285]

Love the workflow and the quality of the tracks! Question: how do you make the group names visible like that in between the various instrument tracks? Looks so neat to have space between them with the names of the tracks.

[@kallumnisbet3350]

once he pointed it out it was obvious, never would have heard it before that I don't think!

[@Adam_GRS]

If you have a really drastic point in the curve like Nolly does here, and boost it you can move it around through different frequencies until you find harsh ones like this and then do the cut. It's easier to find them that way if your ears don't pick up on them at first.

[@UrThysis]

nolly should have a grammy for best mixed record ASAP

[@supermental5633]

Fantastic sound! Nolly, please make a selection of paid video lessons.

Hi, do you set up the DAW mixing routing in a "rear-BUS" way, that A. Schepps does in this tutorial ?

[@DRJTUBECHANNEL]

Amazing tutorial and insight! Hats off! But you left out mastering! :( Hope we get a video on that sometime soon too.

[@GeraldLyn]

What I wanna know is what DI box you’re using to record with

[@elguaripolo686]

I would love to know Nolly's approach to sidechaining bass and drums, guitars or other instruments...

Is this part of an acutal song or did you just write a short section for the sake of this demo? Very helpful video!

[@roberthaskin1723]

Have you ever touched on the bit depth and rate you record with?

[@jacklaing15]

What desktop monitor is he using?? looks fresh as hell in a session.

[@DragosGeomolean]

[@misterkenova6695]

SO GOOD. Do you prefer vocals single tracked for verses and doubled for choruses? Cheers and keep up the great channel. I purchased GGD and its great.

[@misterkenova6695]

Nevermind you answered my question haha. Cheers! Doubled with low volume on second vocal on verse.

No need to low pass the DI and high pass the amp track to give each some space? Although I dont hear them "collide" much so I guess its not neccesary in this case.
