Thx🙏🏾

Sounds Bucas but ok

[@texturedvegetableprotein7004]

Thanks! Would be great @GetGood Drums to pin this or put in the chapters :~)

[@horizoniki]

I love how we all at some point just agreed to call Sponce.. well, Sponce

[@thegreateskate]

Love you

[@GekkoGear]

This was the most informative Vsauce ive seen yet

[@adamsylvan]

😂

[@olekslawko1231]

Insane how we can watch this for free. Thanks Nolly!

[@MichaelSorrentino1]

This is why we love Nolly. He doesn't gatekeep his knowledge and can flawlessly explain his reasoning for every move he makes in the mix.

[@alpenjodel24]

I swear to god, I've waited so long for this. I watch these 1-2 times for educational purposes but then these Nolly walkthroughs and masterclasses just become my background podcast, that voice is magnificent.

[@whophead6837]

Nolly audiobooks could be a thing.

[@progression_decibel]

So soothing.

[@cristl1375]

same lol

[@RarelyMediocre]

Ive heard other music producers here on YT criticizing Nolly for being responsible for creating a wave of "generic sounding" musicians, as everybody had the "same" sound after watching his mixing and mastering tutorials. That maybe true, but Nolly never said everyone should use the same settings and tools. But the way Nolly explains why something is done in a certain way make me understand how to approach sound and what to aim, in symbiosis with what I feel and like about music, thats priceless! I dont see other investing this much time and energy to create a free, in-depth, complex tutorials about anything, let a lone how to mix and master metal music. Thank you Nolly for everything you have done so far... be it releasing great plugins for creating music or tutorials like this,Im sure most people really appreciate it!

[@adamnollygetgood]

Thanks for the kind words! I am very glad that you feel you get a deep understanding out of this video; that's key to anyone being able to develop their own sound in an intentional way, I think.

[@alrecks619]

the same way people blame Joey Sturgis during early 2010s, Andy Sneap and Colin Richardson during the entirety of 2000s.

[@hangar4avs]

I'm totally speechless. To have knowledge shared like this...and for free? That is a huge testament to Nolly, Periphery, and GGD and speaks miles for their love and passion of what they do. Supporter 4ever.

[@DaiMurasaki]

You are a good man for releasing these, and I think not gate keeping will speak for a long and well earned success of the company

[@adamnollygetgood]

Thank you for saying so, the joy of doing this kind of thing is the thought of smoothing the creative journey of musicians of all levels around the world by making recording more understandable and enjoyable.

[@alrecks619]

it's definitely lovely when bands and artists can just be concerned about creating great music rather than having to tweak something here and there to achieve great tone.

oh hi there

[@sevazakharenko8176]

The fact that this is just sitting here absolutely free is brilliant. Thank you so much for your hard work and generosity in spreading knowledge!

[@jarrenharper718]

Love mixing along to these vids, lots of new fresh ideas to implement. Thanks as always Nolly & the GGD crew!

[@GetGoodDrums]

Our pleasure!

[@gitarmats]

So cool to be a fly on the wall for this! So much to learn...

[@Shred_Rocket]

How can anyone not love this kick-ass stuff from Nolly, a high-caliber modern mixing engineer, needless to mention a fantastic bass player... Thank you Nolly for sharing your insights into techniques that may be in some circles forbidden mystic knowledge!!! I would say to give credence to your products, these types of tutorials open a clear view of real applications as well.

[@ghastlyshimmer]

Parallax is just so versatile, awesome and fast when dialing good tones. I even use it on projects that are not rock or metal. Its really good

[@the_snackbar]

i agree, when you turn off the mid and high distortion theres a great tone there thats clean but still clanky

[@TommyToboggan611]

props for talking about the vibe on the old bulb stuff. the pumping was so so much of the magic on the early tracks

[@matthewduncan9405]

“Tell me if I’m a fraud and it’s mixing for me” 😂. Nah man we are blessed to have this content to help us 😅

[@HenryhyphenS]

This is such a fantastic tutorial about not only mixing but just general musicianship and how to treat performers in a band! Basically Nolly is the Rick Beato of mixing. In under 2 hours this guy has touched on so many things and although I love the turbo option for quick jams…this walkthrough shows how badass Nolly is. Keeping all the sounds from all the band in a world where we are constantly told to have di’s is just great. Sometimes having the choices taken away means you work with what you have and you just get it done. Awesome job 🤘❤️

[@wrongfuture]

>Nolly is the Rick Beato of mixing That's an insult to Nolly though

[@yeserguitar]

1:30:18 Nolly's ideas definitely will shape how I collab with people. It was really important and beutiful

[@klyntarrecords]

This is my holy Grail when it comes to Mixing... Sir, you are a genious

[@ksutton1207]

Thank you for offering up this and the Wildfire stems, guys. Made my day.

[@GetGoodDrums]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@alfiearock]

It was one of the most important lessons I've learned in a while

[@CheloWiiU]

At 1:52:30, I don't know if Nolly is trying to keep things professional, or is he a robot, he's so serious. At least I can't help but get a BIG smile on my face everytime a I hear those amazing vocal harmonies by Spencer 😍 . I think he likes those vocals too, but he's a real pro, and pros keep it cool 😉

[@adamnollygetgood]

Spencer is incredible, I don't think I was as much "keeping it cool" as feeling wiped out from several hours of intense and continuous talking :)

[@CheloWiiU]

@@adamnollygetgood Not sure if you are the real Nolly, but thank you so much for everything you do, you're so inspiring to me. Thank you ❤️

[@yeserguitar]

I really love how Nolly knows about Misha and points out really important stuff about him that other people could miss. He really appreciated his work there, you can just feel it even he listens the guitar tracks

[@el_cort3z]

Thank you Nolly and the ggd team for everything you guys do for the community. ❤

[@TheOddKris]

Ohhh man! Thank you for doing this for us, Nolly ❤️

[@jakobkr9508]

I am eternally grateful for all the content you and others have put out to help others.

[@QuincyKane]

These are always my favorite videos when a new GGD product drops! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience with us, Nolly!

[@DruNature]

I cannot believe this video exists, wow! This was my favorite song for a few months, such an amazing record! can you imagine what it would have been like to track the vocals for this thing!? I am super excited to watch this and mix along. I record all my own drums and I have a little collection of one shots. But, this really makes me want to grab more professionally recorded drums for layering and sound reinforcement!

[@Stoopdman]

Nolly: *calmly explaining wildfire mix in ASMR-y way Wildfire: *BANG BANG BANG BANG

[@thecoleh3311]

Great work Nolly. Thank you for everything you have done for our communities. Cheers friend ✌️💯

[@NiklasMeads]

Nolly you are a god send. Cant wait to watch this!!

[@H-D]

Of all the things I've listening to in the gym, this has to be the most unusual 😅. This popped up just as I was starting my workout, and I spent the last 2 hours just listening to Nolly share his wisdom. Doubly productive session!!

[@Metaljonus]

Exercising the body and mind bro. Git it! 💪

[@H-D]

@Metaljonus mind, body AND EARS 😁

[@Metaljonus]

@@H-D yes!

[@Jdcie]

I'd call your story about the djent sound around 1:31:30 more of an anecdote than a diatribe. I find it super fascinating. I hope you're not that hard on yourself; that section in Wildfire is my favorite part of the entire album! I think you took that classic djent sound and really gave it the fidelity and depth it deserves. A fitting homage to Bulb through and through! Thanks for giving us such a comprehensive lens into your process :D

[@AscentToZenith]

Just commenting because I saved the video for later. I was one of the people asking for more in depth tutorials in the GGD surveys. Thank you for listening to our feedback. I guess I have a new GGD kit to buy lol.

[@voice-of-oblivion]

Dear Nolly, thank you very much for all of this. It is very kind of you to give such a detailed inside and explain everything so patientlly.

[@Optimoe89]

I am working my way through this video and apply the moves and ideas to my own mix. It got 10x better straight away. Unbelievable quality of this video. Thanks nolly❤

[@BigBadMadden95]

Dude...thank you so much! Like to not only give mixing tutorials but to actually get a song you worked on's stems out for people like me to mess around with is just super awesome of you

[@progression_decibel]

Such a massively brilliant walkthrough and education on crafting a mix. Thank you Nolly!

[@shdsky]

cant thank this man enough for all the knowledge hes given over the years

[@elguaripolo686]

it is really UNBELIVABLE the quality of products that we can have at our disposition with such high-quality sick dudes like GGD team...

[@andivax]

great analysis, thanx! And THANK YOU for mixing Devin's "Empath" album. Pure MASTERPIECE!

[@olivierpeartnoy]

Since I have the PV drums I was able to replicate and use so much of what was shown here. My mixes have just taken a HUGE bump. Thank you so much 🙏

[@christopherbullock6679]

I'm interested in trying this with the drum program I use (I have the One Kit Wonder Metal and Fusion, but I end up using MT Power Drumkit in all my mixes because it's just simpler).

[@ryanschooley]

This is mind blowing, thanks so much for this free content. My early 2000s teenage self would have been amazed at seeing something like this!

[@AlexH8280]

Thanks for the MIDI...Get ready for Wildfire with EZDrummer. 😆 Seriously though, you all asked on Facebook what content we would like to see and this is exactly what I asked for. Having seen Nolly's mix tutorials before it's good to catch up with him and see what's new, what's changed and what's the same in his approach. Thanks!

[@OLV_Music]

I’ve learnt so much from Nolly, heck let’s just say I learnt everything I know from Nolly at this point. The way he just presents and just allows for such clear understanding of mixing as well as personal touches is just unparalleled. He truly is a master of his craft and an absolute asset to the music community. ❤️

[@tuomashaukka5667]

This video needs to win an award of some kind

[@leonscheffler]

Very valuable lessons in this video. Thank you so much for the generosity to share it for free!

[@AnmolRajWardhan]

Thank you nolly

[@adamnollygetgood]

Thanks for following for so long, I'm very glad you've seen big differences in your mixing and producing journey :)

[@Xeridae]

I appreciate this content so much. So much knowledge for free from the man himself. Amazing.

[@mybiggrin]

Loving how this seems more simplistic than previous developments. Less is more.

[@Derpadeedooda]

Videos like this make me realize what an amateur I am

[@AdamShepard]

For now!

[@Zachary-dr1mu]

Use these to help learn how production is supposed to work. That’s how I progressed; my mixes immediately improved after I watched the It’s Only Smiles mix overview Nolly did, and even if all I did was copy his settings (which I don’t recommend), it still taught me so much about why things are done the way they are

[@Gregypo085]

Thank you for doing these 🙏 I’m so pumped to watch this!

[@williamfaith6007]

This was brilliant and super illuminating -- thanks so much for doing this, Nolly. Much appreciated!

[@thecasiorobinson]

Hey and welcome! hi nolly thank you

[@TheOtherJohnBrowne]

I can't wait to sit down and give this a decent watch! Thanks for doing this

[@adamnollygetgood]

Oh hey, hope you find it useful mate

[@josephharvey1762]

God bless you Nolly, this is glorious

[@steveweilhart2359]

Nolly is so inspiring to watch work and let us get inside his moves and skill set explain why he doing a move and how it sits in the mix - the tools he is using surprising some Logic stock plugins along with the Slate products & fabfilter for the most part - charming guy , brilliant , off the chart musician and one of the best mix engineers on the planet - cheers mate

[@yeserguitar]

Love you guys a ton! Finished It's only smiles and Prayer Position Mixes before. Nolly is another level!

[@Fexiheit]

Thank you so much Nolly ❤❤❤

[@zoltanfonagy339]

This video is just a big present for me🤩

[@jasonpoland5507]

Nolly: we need you on stage bud. At least once for a DVD 📀

[@SavoryShredZ]

My favorite parts are when Nolly is just listening because it feels so good to listen to. I was experiencing the same thing. Thanks for that reminder of why I make music. I was taking notes on PV and one thing I wrote was "Don't have too much low end on kick during fast parts." Then I realized that low end was the thing I actually really liked about some of the kick sounds on PV. That "pummeling" effect that a thick kick has during fast parts sounds so much better to me than clickiness. I don't really care if the attack is completely audible because the feeling of the mix being slightly overwhelmed with low end is just so much more satisfying to me. Also, I've never gotten my toms to sound how I wanted and I did it for the first time here. Wheeze vs. Flappy attack vs. attack. Genius. So much of what I was focusing on was removing low end from everything for clarity, but it takes away so much from different parts of the mix. Definitely changed my perspective on a lot of things here. Again, thank you so much!

[@recentlysingle]

Thank you Nolly. Learning so much from you and love the calm approach. You make mixing fun. What a fucking banger of a song.

[@rikosimmo]

This video has pushed me to pull the trigger on your new kit

[@zekebeckman]

NEVER clicked anything so fast

[@BeHeardStudio]

Merci, thank you Nolly for taking your time to share so much detail for all of us! You and Periphery are so inspiring! Love you guys!

[@Sundaydrumday]

MY god that sounds incredible lol, it blows my mind! Thanks for doing these Nolly, I do not know about anyone else but these always inspire me to record and try and implement your techniques.

Damn! This video is a freaking treasure, would loooooove to see a mixing masterclass from Shrine of BFW

[@brandonpratt9353]

This was absolutely fantastic, thanks so much for making such incredible information freely available to us! I always learn an absolute ton from Nolly and not just with regards to what he uses and how but in learning more about the thought process that goes behind the decisions he makes, thats so incredibly valuable and never fails to inspire, thank you! :)

[@YeahButStilll]

He delivered! Can’t wait to check this out. Funnily enough, I was actually hoping Wildfire would be the song too.

[@alrecks619]

considering they have been teasing about wildfire for several years, i think they'll be releasing it as the free stem.

[@TheChrispablo]

da goat nolly blessing us once again

[@michaellandrumguitar]

thank you Adam I love your work

[@NikolajChristensen]

Fantastic video. Enjoyed it a lot. I have learned a lot from your tom processing. That limiter REALLY makes them work as you avoid having too much clickiness. Thanks!

[@blue_mountains28]

its very cool to look under the hood of this song and thanks very much for the fantastic instruction

[@Mark_N]

I learned so much form this! Thank you.

[@busted_sky]

In the original track there is my favorite drums sound ever! Happy to see this tutorial! Library is awesome too. Btw, I personally prefer instrumental bus with only first compressor.

[@tev9827]

You know I’ve always wondered if Nolly was ever taken aback at just how good the Periphery dudes are at this stuff, and the moment around 1:33:43 answered that one for me
