Mistake I used to make often was I'd make the whole beat on my laptop or bedroom pc and then export the wav to the studio. I later realized you don't really notice the 808 acting up when you use these regular enhanced headphones. So the beat sounds good, then it gets to the actual monitor and it sounds like some torture room shid

[@michaelramirez1444]

What did you do to correct this mistake ? Mix on a bad speaker ?

[@Prodby3128]

*first five seconds:* “maybe logic is different cause my 808s sit at like -1😂”

[@loe175]

I set my 808s to 0, hi hats, snares, and Perc get mixed in off feeling. All instruments set to -14. Pan instruments, hihats, and percs. limiter and soft clipper on the master. Works everytime

[@notprosperBEATS]

the truth is that there isnt no secret to mixing, it all comes with years of practice and training your ears on certain frequencies, and dont rely on buying expensive plugins to make your mix sound better, they are gonna make your mix sound worse cuz you dont know how to use them

[@ChuTheCreator]

Everything takes practice. You aren’t saying anything profound. And there are definitely things that all good mixing engineers do across the board . Don’t talk about situations you know nothing about bro

[@steveo6408]

Thanks Chu!

My pleasure homie

[@4rios78]

Okay, but what about the master chain ? What do we use ? Is Just a limiter/soft clipper okay?

[@xcvsumextra]

Try a multi band compressor and a stereo shaper

[@sjwbeats6290]

Heard from Kenny beats that he uses nothing in his master chain. Unless vocals are being added

[@nxssim4118]

just a limiter to turn things up, you don't really need a bunch of eqs and glue compression and whatnot when mastering a beat maybe just add a soft clipper

[@slackstarfish8133]

@@sjwbeats6290that’s because for him the mastering happens when the artist has already rapped on the beat. So it’s not like the end product is actually dry. If you wanna make a beat to be played like it were a song you’re gonna wanna put master effects on it to make it hit louder

[@tabor503]

@@sjwbeats6290where?

[@prabh8197]

Whats on your master?

[@ChuTheCreator]

A soft clipper

[@ChilledP]

Since the melody is so much lower, the waveform dynamic is so far apart (because of the drum transients). How is the waveform full and consistent when I look at professional beats? I have used a clipper and that frees up headroom to try to maximise loudness but I still can't get my beats loud enough still.

[@KhaledBeatz92]

but what do you do after you level everything? How do you make it loud in the end?

i think ur kick and 808 are too loud that happened to me too an it was bcuz these 2 were extremely over the top

[@atularken]

@@icedupamin does lowering their volume or putting everything a bit louder will help me out?

[@icedupamin]

@@atularken idk like id make sure that the kick hits at 0 preferably -3 db and 808 lower depending on how much you want it to stick out and then it should be okay. if melody is already loud enough don't make it louder just make other stuff quieter

[@onlywayisforward]

Il try these tips and imma stay tuned for more.💯

[@seantreyfr]

What about the pre faders on the step sequencer what do you do with those?

I can only say so much in a 60 second video, check out some of my full length mixing videos

Definitely

This doesn't work for everything mixing is relative. My kick at -15 is a low for me 🤷🏿‍♂️ depends on the sounds u using

how do you gett that effect in the mixer, the moving waves?

He liked but didn’t answer you lol

Click the triangle options on the upper left of mixer, then go to drop down "view" and select "waveforms" or you can hit the alt+w shortcut when the mixer is open on windows

[@astral_nemesis]

Dumb Question: I use garageband so how would I apply the tips with the fader bc i dont think I have that, would I just adjust it using volume instead?

[@ChuTheCreator]

Yeah. Faders just control volume

[@rxloadzz]

How did you get the db level to appear above the leveling knob. Like on a single mixing channel

[@noticedbeats]

If your asking how to read the db of individual tracks, just select a track and look to the left of the master. Whatever track is selected will show the dab for that track tk left of the master track. Not sure if that was the question hope it helps

[@blud_lyne]

Would an imager be better before or after a limiter on the master channel?

[@mikaeloien]

Your limiter should always be the last thing in your masterchain✌️

You only got one main melody???

don't follow this down to a T, the sounds won't all be the same volume as used in the example, just use your ears

True. At some point you have to use your ears

Watch someone who's been producing for years and when they're finished every fader will still be at unison.....this was filled with a while lot of general statements. Doesn't include clip gain.....sample differences, maybe it doesn't have an 808.....ur explaining how instruments should be balanced.....not how to mix perfectly every time....🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️
