GetGood Drums Mixing Tutorial by Ermin Hamidovic

[@GITMmusic]

I enjoy ggd products. I’d just recommend that the initial A/B comparison be an even comparison, instead of having the mixed drums play along with the rest of the track

[@mlsoundlab]

Or... maybe the first tip is to raise the faders on other instruments!!! :D Just kidding. This was my thought as well even though I like Ermz and GGD.

[@KotaCraig]

Have to agree. I would have preferred an even comparison, but I will take all the advice I can get!

[@juliankonowalski]

Nice! Well explained, I've even managed to get similar sounding mix with just stock Reaper plug-ins too, so that's awesome!

[@marcinpolczyk]

Tak ci się wydaje tylko :D nie no, jest SUPI!

[@constantinerodriguez9447]

he is a great mixing engineer and his book is pure gold to learn how to mix

[@MrJaapdeboer]

This was awesome, thanks so much. I've just made a bunch of Logic presets from these tips, so it'll save me lots of time in the future

[@matnrocknroll]

Awesome... it would be also cool to include the reverb settings... :)

[@jessebodonnell8170]

At 23 minutes I noticed that you used the term "parallel compression" but put the processing on the snare bus. Is this because you are dialing it in with the "mix" knob and not truly compressing the whole signal?

[@plateusigmaband4912]

I took a similar approach to my drum sound in the normal version of GGD I feel like the cymbals and kick drum sounds better on modern and massive other than that my result was very similar to this !

[@XiyuYang]

M&M has a wonderful room sound, there's just a "hugeness" in the room mics. Use a gate in upward expanding mode, and use your snare bus as external sidechain trigger, boom! You got this huge sounding snare going.

[@Georgecostanza91]

Which kit in modern and massive is this ?

[@eranddroory9987]

One year later Still no reply. Those guys wanna sell their product or what?

[@MatthewMaranan]

This is awesome! Can't wait to learn about all these moves.

[@85crossy]

This is great. Like really great.

[@romanduelin]

What if I just have ableton and don't have access to any of these fancy ass plugins?

[@prashuryagoswami6122]

Find what the plugins are modelled after use the one similar in your own daw

[@DemonEmbarasser]

So all the shells go to the shell bus, and the cymbals go to the cymbal bus. Which bus does the room bus go to?

[@davidviera3347]

What about the reverb settings? My GGD Invasion can´t sound like that...are you using external reverb or internal?

[@fossilmerrick]

Is this just M&M straight out the box? Or were levels adjusted inside Kontakt first?

[@BrandonofRedemption]

Tim Merrick Nolly responded to me last time (not sure if it’s a re-upload) and he said he had everything set dead even at “0” before exporting out of GGD.

[@RaytownProductions]

Ermin awesome tutorial! Drums sound awesome! I love your signal flow and session prep (especially the automation tracks!). I was curious if you could elaborate on why you are using natural phase for all your drum EQs? I'm assuming you are trying to minimize changes to the phase resulting from EQ to maintain the phase coherence between the drum mics, but I've been concerned about pre-ringing - especially for bass heavy transients. Do you ever run into this issue? Probably going to pick up these drums for an upcoming project. Thanks again GGD and Ermin for the great video! Cheers-

[@junkawakami3193]

no doubt it's killer p.s. amazing to know that Ermin doesn't fall into the Mac/ProTools hole, but yeah gotta know more than just a system you prefer

[@robloyst4514]

Anyone know what kit or kick and snare this is? Totally loving this tone!

[@michaelcanoy9200]

What snare is this?!

[@junkawakami3193]

i think it's a Bell Brass snare, precisely the Gretsch one

[@timothyhammonds]

Man, I literally do not understand a word of this. I do understand some of it, but for the most part I am completely lost. I bought the Matt Halpern pack not knowing how hard it would be to get a great drum sound. I am very agitated at this point, as I am not an audio engineer or producer lol... I don't know what to do.

[@KotaCraig]

Hey Tim! We talked on Instagram today. This was one of the videos I was referring to. I dont think it will help with the level problem you described to me, with your tracks being too quiet, but this, along with Nolly's video about programming realistic drums ( velocities play so much) and Misha's parallel compression video, should help with your drum sound. We just need to get your levels up first.

[@stephenopolis3294]

I know this comment is late but it just takes time. Trust that as the months/years go on, your mixes and knowledge surrounding the jargon in these videos will improve.

[@CaptnShred]

Thank you for doing this 🙏

[@jonnyb93]

What company promotes your CD/Album/music ???

[@easymix8109]

Sorry but the andy wallace attack time is not 30ms. Please check better

[@joeyvpoisonfree]

Easy MIX so what is it?

[@easymix8109]

@@joeyvpoisonfree 1ms attack time, autorelease, 4:1 . he compresses a lotttt on the master. 4db. he compresses a lot on the master and very few on individual channels

[@joeyvpoisonfree]

Easy MIX killer that’s cool to know

[@goatsurgeon]

Love this guy I’m reading his book 📖 If my Druminator kit I got from Audio Assault ends up being more trouble than it’s worth I’ll have to use GGD Oh look... He starts with an SSL Master Bus compressor.... Huh....

[@prashuryagoswami6122]

Bro you need to make a mastering tutorial

[@junkawakami3193]

to be fair it's kinda waste of resource to route mono source as stereo tracks, my two cents tho, because you can route mono materials as mono channels in Kontakt

[@AscentToZenith]

Hold up. Is that Snuggles coming back?

[@danmenez]

Master!!!

[@Bcwilderness]

maybe im being picky but the mix lacks cohesion the drums sound like one studio the guitars another, something i try to balance out personally, but hey decades of ear training geek me out , great vid

[@joeyvpoisonfree]

Now I know why you deleted this from your channel lmao
