@@maxreaper25 nice troll lmao

[@MXIII_MUSIC]

Thanks man. Been struggling trying to mix my second album with mastered beats. This was a huge help. I prefer the EQ cut as opposed to multi-band compression as that always seems to add pumping to the tracks. The saturation made a huge difference to the integrity of the beat. Cheers.

[@kavvmakesbeats]

I dont even mix vocals but I love watching your tutorials! the more u learn the better

[@UkamMaran]

Hi devvon, thanks for all your videos. Probably we need something like time markers or idk what their say that, but something like that in your youtube videos for show us all the points you talked. by the way, thank you so much.

[@KudaKwashe]

You just listed every step I use except for that analog saturation. These tips are great, thanks for sharing this. I'm in Jamaica and Dancehall is my primary genre where being able to mix on 2 tracks is an essential skill, gladly I made a name for myself as the 2 Track Assassin lol. you're awesome!

I am not gonna forget the fact that you've helped me bro thank you so much. love!!

[@tenea24]

Thank you SO FREAKING MUCH!!!! I'm new to the home engineering front, so I was trying to be patient. There's a song I've been working on for about 2 months solely because everything was clipping because of the beat. I promise you I won't ever forget these tips cause mannn!!

[@ingenious247]

Thanks for doing this video. Although I'm familiar with this, it took a lot of experimenting to get this right on my own, this will help MANY home artists

[@dylanschweitzer18]

Great content! Had to dive threw a coupleof videos that were NOT mixing 2 track beats. Keep it up good sir. #subscribed

[@Prodby_duke]

Relay from izotope works good for this. Load one on the beat and the vocal and let neutron listen then make adjustments afterwards.

[@lamarmurray9887]

Thank you for this amazing info you really make things easier for us Pro tools + Studio one Est Audio mix + Mastering Engineers Thank you and stay safe out there God bless #RoadTo100k

[@chrissagalamukiibi8720]

Super helpful info bro!! Thanks! Love that scooping the beat to give room to the vocals! I do the same thing whenever I'm adding anything new to an already mastered track

[@ShimoYukimura]

You have assisted me in a problem I have been having trouble with lately. My vocals were battling with the sample beat and I am excited to apply this knowledge to my future mixes! Thank you SO much. Real talk, college didn't tell me this haha You have gained my subscription and bell click!

[@ABARBERR]

I appreciate you! Very helpful. Can you do a tutorial on how to mix low end??

[@vrivers_]

You’re the man🔥

[@stockmanager]

for the vocals side chain that shit so your eq only kicks in and effects the beat when ur vocals are present. That way u retain good stuff from beat in the frequency the range ur messing when theres no vocals.

[@keith9776]

I've been doing that for a while as well. Great trick.

[@IOG2K]

Hey, I need help with this on Logic Pro x please respond. Do I sidechain all plugins for the two-track beat or just the EQ? And how would I do it in relation to the vocals, thanks!

[@nomperfect]

Facts that makes sense

[@nomperfect]

But when youre using a daw that doesnt support sidechaining and stuff what do you do then?

[@davekody444]

Thank you very much for this @Devvon

[@Luan_araujo91]

Man you are dope. All i have to say to you is thank you! thanks for sharing a content that really helps everybody. I'm a brazilian cover singer and I got a very little tiny homestudio , all my mixes after your videos were from 50 to 150% better. I use this 2tracks beats to mix with my vocals, i would like that you make a video using the (WAVES TRACKSPACER) in order to create a pocket for vocals in the instrumental, the WAVES TRANS-X (SHAPING THE TRANSIENTS), a basic Equing in order to get rid of the frequency masking and the (WAVES CENTER) to get rid of the center information for the vocals to sit in. I appreciate your content, I know youre a great singer and a great producer, I think seeing you make a full mix and master process of 2track beats instrumental could save thousands and thousands of people like me. YOU'RE DOPE!

[@HabibiTommy98]

Perfect trick is to use an multiband compressor or a dynamic eq (Pro-q3) and use it with sidechain from the vocals. 🤟🏻

[@Cheis159159]

or eq from neutron

[@Thatnigacj]

it'sLue what is sidechain? Is it the same as parallel compression?

[@HabibiTommy98]

Thatnigacj no it isn’t the same. Sidechain Compressing is a complete different way to edit. U use a Compressor on a Track. In this kind of use at a instrumental Stereo Track. Than you sidechain the plug in to a group or Track with your vocals. Than the compressor will compress the Beat like it would be your vocals. Compression on vocals just on the beat. I’m very bad at teaching😂. Very famous technique for 808s with kick drums. Use for sidechaining 808

[@206onyx]

true that but I'd say if you cut the mids before side chaining the vocals it let's the vocals to sit more comfortably than cutting through when vocals kick in

[@Thatnigacj]

The Internetz can you teach me?

[@tmoney4782]

thank youuuuu

[@NostraBloom]

Hey Devvon did you say you'll show how to clip gain on other DAWs but didn't or did I miss it? I would like to know how to do it on Fl Studio. Thanks for the tips

[@juliettesunshine7035]

this literally just helped me SO much, thank you 😭 i love the way you explain things too, you make stuff really easy to understand, whereas a lot of others tend to over complicate 🩵

[@LiveToSingMusic]

You are the best Devon

[@MerajTypeBeat]

Learned so much from you 🔥💯

[@TheOneKeyToLife]

So how would mastering work? Would you still add a limiter to the master bus even though the beat is already limited?

[@StevenBrien]

nah, thatd usually result in a lot of over-limiting and itd sound too squashed, unless you really want that sound :)

[@peterjulies4657]

you help me alot!!! thnx...you tha best!

[@toxen9672]

How can i make my drums wider without the doubling effect?? I just heard the beats in this video and the drums are sitting near the sides. But MY drums are sitting in the middle of my headphones!! Please, tell me why is that happening and what should I do??

[@lucas09685]

you are amazing bro!!!

[@ChosenTheTheologian]

your an excellent teacher THANK YOU !

[@ezequieldavila8444]

Im barely finding out you have a channel to help me produce my own music thank youu !

[@jacksp8de]

Love your tutorials bro. I got a question, I’ve always thought there was no quality difference between DAWS, but I have been using pro tools and the audio seems fuller than Logic. Am I trippin or does pro tools do something different with the audio?

[@lilmaybe241]

It depends on the DAW settings a lot. One of my prod told me that he see the difference, but i think its just a placebo effect and he just likes one DAW workflow rather than other

[@hareeshs86]

Check your interface/audio driver settings. Either that or there's some major bit rate conversion going on that's messing with your output

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Man this is such a big conversation and to my knowledge and experience different DAWs have different types of audio engines and algorithms so in my head I feel there is a difference but I could be VERY wrong. I notice FL studio is colder but knocks odee. ProTools feels like it tries to mimic a more analog feeling more on the warm side. While logic feels bright and spacious but once again I could be very wrong!!

[@sammbusy]

They are absolutely the same, just export same track with same settings and then inverse polarity of one of them to see.

[@jacksp8de]

Help Me Devvon that sounds about right from my experience. It would make sense since that they are slightly different I’m sure they don’t all use the same algorithms and code

[@biggie_dane]

Can anyone please tell me how to do the clip gain thing in fl studio? It’ll be of great help

[@ptahbey7270]

Game got a video on it

[@jabulanimahlangu6863]

hi devon nice technique, please can demonstrate with a vocal on that 2 track beat

[@thecurdge5934]

Love the 2 track tutorials. In FL studio would switching the channel the beat is on to PRE instead of POST be the same as clip gain?

Very useful as always!!!!!!!!

[@xgamergamer7282]

thanks bruh:) as usual great Info.

[@suavemarieco]

Devvon do you still Feel the need to add a limiter or other mastering plug ins on your master fader when recording over a 2 Track beat because the instrumental is already mastered? Or do you continue to mix and master the session as if you had the track out???

[@PolymerJones]

Your videos are amazing thanks so much man. In Ableton with Saturator would I want to select Soft Clip?

[@jaiventuras]

(Got this comment from your other video) Do a mixing and mastering tutorial of a 2 track beat with vocals! i don’t think anyone’s made a video on that

Then you Eq lol

Great info

[@TheUndebunkable]

And is there a stock plugin or way to get saturation with the stock plugins because that’s all I have.

[@itsTaybie]

Good shit

[@KudaKwashe]

Question. I often use a sidechain multi band compressor on the 2 Track receiving signal from the vox to help maintain the levels better. What's your opinion on that?

[@dhortonofficial165]

Thanks 💪🏽💪🏽

[@RizzieRedd1920]

So I’m confused bro .. if u clip gained ( turned down actually file ) why did you still have fader down -6?

[@Sam-cq9us]

Devvon Im having trouble when i put a limiter r clipper on my master for loudess my beat (mostly kick) is way to loud before i even hit 0db and its distorting what should i do? i mix at low volume btw

[@bigxrecords7375]

Man I try and try to get good at mixing I’m at the point at giving up it’s either you got it or you don’t

[@Cerdarious]

Hey i'm looking into gettin a TLM 102, i dont have an extra 300 to get the 103. Would this mic still be great for vocals

[@maxwally6772]

Yo man I have the 102 and it's great. 103 has slightly better recording quality but the 102 is probably the best mic in its price range as far as what I can tell

[@thebeatfinder7559]

thanks bro

[@TangyCK]

Bro I can't wait to get good from you , more Ableton please

[@bigxrecords7375]

Is trim, clip gain ? Or no cause I use sonar

[@sSKiiTZzo]

I would just eq the track. Lower the low end, lower the mid just a little bit to clear up sound. Maybe lower the hi for the hiss. Might just be my phone e speakers. That’s my opinion
