How To Mix Drums! (Mixing Masterclass Part 2/6)

[@SteliosMusic]

THIS is how you teach: no yelling, no seizure-inducing jump cuts, no f**king memes, no constant begging viewers to buy some product. And the products that Big Z does promote (in a classy manner) are totally worth it. I've been making music for a damn long time and I still learn from you man. Keep up the good work!

[@Tiogar60]

Most of the videos that have what you describe in them, are meant to be memes lol. They are pretty entertaining

[@0374studio]

I'm actually 27 years in electronic music (!), and when i was discover Big Z's lessons, i think - that man know how to explain, with even no one micro water drop in the sesssion. Great dude!

[@HowardCharlesUK]

I've never seen anyone mix a Kick like that before. Very interesting

[@cormacgoodwin9867]

Pro Q3 settings used: 30Hz - 100Hz 150Hz - 400Hz 400Hz - 1100Hz 1000Hz - 4000Hz 4000Hz - Top Hope this is helpful to someone! Thanks for the amazing videos Big Z!

[@jamiecorke3195]

[@weijen5645]

Thanks for this!!

[@kooimma4004]

Hi, I just discovered your channel barely a week and I couldn't be more grateful for the ton of practical information you give. Could you sometimes use acoustic/live recorded kind of music so some of us can benefit more. Thanks

[@giannipulli]

Great job Big Z

[@sebastiansloth1839]

Hello, hoping to win the competition! Loved your content for years

[@martintangen4534]

thanks for all the good content, really helpfull!!

[@DJNash-pi7oq]

Thank you big z i like all your tutorial plese help my how to make mastering ?

[@wouterwessels6380]

thanks for the advice! Very helpful!

[@grantrichymusic1333]

Hey man thanks so much for sharing! Can anyone answer this question though? Do you gain stage before you stem out the track into the mixing project?

[@raccoonoutoftheforest2344]

Have the same question, I think yes! Because you shouldn't export a clipping wavefile. So maybe you make a premix in your session with the gain knobs or you gain everything to -12db and rough mix it with the mixer fader. Also I think once a stem is made, the instruments should work together, so a premix is essential. Imagine a too loud subbass with a very quite top bass. So have a rough mix before

[@HlyanHtet26]

While referencing, is it ok to use a track with different key?

[@axelezequiel97]

HEY MAN 9:49 why do you create a bus for side chain? why not side chain with the original kick audio track?

[@mikesaintjulesmusic]

I think it's because he wants all of the components of the track to sidechain under one type of ducking. This is as opposed to ducking multiple bus channels.

[@djronakdelhi]

I have a question : as you bounce out the tracks for ex, you bounced out the kick track , which includes all the kick from the verse , drop ,break ,build etc.. what if i specifically want to mix the verse kick right without affecting the others kick ,how to do that! im really confused what route should we take then

[@andrewsenchenko3651]

Amazing series!

[@matthieuperrot2093]

Helpful video, but how do you determine how much you need to reduce the reference track gain please ? Thanks for all!

[@alonzodjoficial]

Not sure if it's still usefull, but get a LUFS meter and match with the master of your project. Generally speaking, in most cases you must turn the reference track by 7 to 12 dB.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

Big Z! I'm loving it! Like McDonald's! Been a musician all my life, discovered I'm more of a song writer than a drummer but I can play rhythm guitar well too. Love your channel ❤ can you mix guitars from Logics Pro X Amp simulator?

[@Wh1teland]

I've done this same technique at least 3 times in the past 5 years. I should do it everytime tho. Thanks for reminding

[@surajsingh-uu7fe]

THANKYOU FOR THIS BROO!!!

[@fredmartin31]

Very very interresting man,i like

[@aleksandarmatejic4766]

Great series! 👍🏻

[@Hashtommusic]

What a good video, man! Very informative!

[@Nomisuryoutube]

amazing series ! thank you !

[@ryanw9307]

@big z Yo, before bouncing to stems are you turning off reverb and delay to any custom fx as well? A lot of time the reverb and delay are what make those sounds. Also, where do you get your reference tracks? I would think that getting a song off of iTunes or KZbin, the mix will be different than when they originally finished the song. So don’t we want reference tracks that haven’t been adjusted yet for streaming platforms? Otherwise I would think if you mix to that and then stream it, it’s going to be mixed for streaming platforms twice essentially……or am I just overthinking this?
