4 Tips To Improve Your Mixing Forever

[@SuperFake777]

I went to school for audio engineering and I can vouch for all of these tips man you out here dropping gems doing the lord's work

[@caffeinatedfailure123]

Idk if I should study law or my passion. Do u have a good job from audio engineer school?

[@nicmag7238]

@@caffeinatedfailure123 I recommend doing law. Your passion will still be there after you're done.

[@justus7470]

I’ve been following your work since back in 2015/2016’ish when you were still doing Remix-covers & dude your growth since that time has been exponential. You’ve taught me so much these past 6 years and I’m grateful 🙏🏽 you got a lot of character too, just rewatched “Free Guy” and realized that was you in the intro 🔥 keep it up chief.

[@ELMCinc]

When I watch your videos I don’t feel like I’m just watching a tutorial. How detailed you are, I get a full understanding as to why you adjust the settings the way you do. I appreciate your uploads always. 💪🏾

[@kagisorams898]

No cap.

[@rawprodzhaiti1965]

💯

[@dawnlee3158]

Real shit 💪🏾 li I like how dev go into detail as well.. gives you a full understanding of why it should be done

[@edsterling5258]

This guy is 100% right. Probably the most important four tips. I've been home studio recording since 1985. Took me years to learn this. Take his advice.

[@lordm.a114]

I was happy when I saw your sound go viral on Tik Tok....Great ..Nice Tutorial..,

[@amndjungl1193]

Devvon never lets you down

[@yungrlomanagement3619]

Great content. I’ve been watching you for 3+ years. Im 19 I stopped attending a music college because your content & material is more helpful. You helped me grow and learn a lot about mixing and mastering plus more

[@cliftonboyd4284]

I appreciate you being considerate and editing the profanity in the track for the vid. Respect.

[@dyrtiredd4906]

I am so anxious to settle down and mix again!! ✊🏾🥶

[@DiTowers]

thanks you for showing all the cheat codes, you show me that the only thing that stop me it’s my self, thanks you for teaching us every single thing you know

[@amyr0214]

your music is getting doper fam

[@mastamnd]

Can't thank you enough! Nobody does it like you do. Mixing to consistently compete has kept me at an undesirable level for years (in my eyes). Steadily gotten better but not at the pace I would like. Watching your videos are not only connecting the dots mentally and process wise but you always tend to add even more insight as to what is going on. I never knew there were so many ways to create headroom. I purchased a couple of plug-in's recently and it's made a big difference for my low-end and overall mix. I'm just anxious to learn more techniques that will eventually become natural in my process. Really excited to hear how my sound improves! 🙏🏽

[@KingKasper]

When are you dropping a FULL mixing template. Vocals + Instruments, FX, parellel comps, all vox, etc. WE NEED THAT

[@louisecollins9213]

You are gold your tutorials are great

[@yoshaa]

i've been watching for 3 years and i still use devvons techniques to this day :)

[@nawok3rouack243]

Your vids are really well stuctured, thank you so much!

[@ochilohpaul6857]

Never got to school but the more I watch you tutorial the more i learn.

[@GhostsInSpace_]

Im just guna keep commenting cause your videos are exactly what I need. I personally make synthwave sort of music but each time I walk away from you videos, I become better equipped. Never stop!

[@tylerdilorenzo8585]

Devvon is such a goat!

[@3rdStreetPoppi]

You could be a great teacher, very helpful video thanks

[@scottwheldon9992]

I like what I'm learning. I would like twice if I could. Good job Devon.

[@DarkWorldProduction]

Great video y’all, watch this for sure

[@sonpmusic7317]

[@mwangii8524]

Maaan,this is great🎉,thank you

[@Soloskillz]

The first 2. So subtle. So necessary.

[@MrMindmist]

Man you are so good. You know what you are doing BUT you also impart your knowledge with modesty. I love what you do ... I'm a massive fan :)

[@guruhood4795]

Thanks for another Helpful video!

[@Vinnie-Tee]

Great tips i didn't know which im going to try. Makes sense as to why i still thought i heard low end freqs in the car even after cleaning up the vocals and etc.

[@Lion126TSE]

I JUST found your channel, and I'm loving it already. SO MUCH good stuff that will help promote growth!

[@shimmisamma5931]

[@jonre6214]

[@fullmediatechnology]

When Devon teaches referencing, I always love Devon mixes better than the referenced track, especially the references in this video. Thanks for pouring out yourself.

[@kassih.musica]

Hi! Your classes are amazing man! I wish it was on Ableton, but no problem! Blesses! Keep the good work! Wish you the best! Greetings from Brazil!

[@dazbuc]

[@NateGs1]

Another great video! Thanks for always dropping gems

[@alanbaum3228]

Love the guitar track ❤️‍🔥

[@50bandzent40]

We met once at “Blue Faces” video.. However you are a master at this

[@ProfitGang-ps2on]

s one sound so good on the delay and reverb

[@2halves565]

You’re a legend, thx Devvon

[@lukeaway]

I have the REQ vst but never figured out the concepts you've shown. Nice

[@hollychannel7719]

wow wow you just blow my mind again Devvon, I Needed this you always deliver the goods nobody show us

[@OndreVersi]

Ive been usin your mixing templates for awhile now. You inspired me to actually pay for my waves plugins lol

[@thioeden]

Devon with the gems again. Appreciate the tips bro🙌🏿

[@maplefoxx6285]

thank you so much Devvon you always have the best tips. Here are some tricks I just learned from a famous keyboard player, Sidechain compress reverb sends for keyboards. So the reverb is pumping, it sounds cool. compressor after a reverb then a sample sidechained into the compressor either with the kick pattern or any pattern works. Just using a muted aux track to send something to the compressor as a trigger. Also... pitch shift the reverb send up a 5th, another trick that sounds really cool. And compressor after a reverb send with fast release on the compressor so when you play the keys hard reverb is not there as much but when notes are played softly the reverb comes out, it is a neat effect.

[@kaisersoze9488]

Thank you Devvon your a genius bro always bringing great content.

[@burns46824]

Analog saturation!!! (plug-in 😢) these are some good tips, especially the reference mix tip. I work on analog tape and with hardware… very hard to find any videos on that on the Internet. Similar concepts, but digital is much more versatile. But it doesn’t have the same sound. These plug-in mixes from this era sound samey-samey.

[@SlumdoggVII]

Dawg I need that shirt no cap Great idea and BIG facts lol

[@affluencen8591]

You’re the best for me I’ve been following your pattern and it’s helped me a whole lot you changed my mix

[@lmgindamix6996]

You're the best man.

[@nmcdre5603]

Dope video🔥 keep helping us and giving us the jewels bro we appreciate you. Blessings to you💯🙏🏿

[@oldschooljohnny]

Thank you devvon!

[@cliftonboyd4284]

Great tips as well! Thank you for the vid.

[@xavierreid5153]

This may sound crazy, but um your track sounded better than the reference track. That is mind blowing, you can tell by your skills you've been doing this for quite some time now I salute you homie

[@hillsoundrecords7431]

Big loves from Nigeria

[@mufuape6753]

I love your channel! It’s amazing thank you for all the help in mixing this helped a lot I appreciate it!

[@tinab3001]

[@lovedoctorjoshuadaniels]

This amazing, beginning to end learn a lot in this. Hmmmm that last tip na game changer🕊 thank you

[@deeliseo]

Thank you so much sir. You have made me move from like 10 to 80 in a month ... Blessings. .🙏🙏

[@KevyJBeatzBangerzfromBelow]

Real 💎 s bro! I Appreciate it!

[@iamtreezz]

That song hard asf!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@evaggeloskalabakas8257]

❤ you are the best bro from New York city

[@drinkinslim]

Nice. Would be SUPER COOL if you would use a free or low-cost plugin alternative as well as the expensive plugins. Otherwise, a lot of us are just watching the video but can't really do much of this stuff, LOL. PS I can't find the link to the Waves Vinyl plugin template you mentioned in the video.

[@prestonLmoore]

Hey Devvon, it would be awesome to have instructions on order recommended to watch these kinds of videos for the beginning. For example, I am starting to understand some of these things but looking at your template that you're using it letting me know you are very far ahead of where I am starting, and hard for me to determine how to not only catch up but even get on a learning and development track. I notice you haven't had too much new content; I think this would be great for your channel. I am sure you have it already but maybe scattered. Gracefully, Pres. Merry Christmas

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Very approved tips, even tho I use all these I still love seeing and hearing how others do it too! Def always more to learn! I find it hard to mix in other studios until I have worked in them 5+ish times/sessions. Best case scenario is 3 or 4 days tracking like 3 or 4 tracks, then starting on some mixing. Every once in a while there's a room that feels right the 1st day but most the time I feel like the rooms and speakers almost sound too good! I wld love to have some genelecs or some small nearfelid speaker that I cld bring to any session with ease right!

[@N9MGyoutube]

MAN! ... I have honestly been mixing in logic for years! and I did not even think of this simple trick (tip 1) I FEEL SO STUPID LOL to achieve that lofi delay I tried everything and it always bugged me how I could never get it exactly how I wanted it! and all along it was as simple as adding REQ6 to the bus! man why an earth didn't I think of this lol .. THANK YOU ! that one tip has literally just changed the game for me!

[@DavidJonesAirway]

Great tips bro, love the channel

[@playgroundentertainment3838]

Thank you sir!! But we need another one of those live mixing streams again were you mix everything, I'm talking instruments, vocals and drums. I see you've got new tools as well.

[@GodsOrdainedVisionary]

I love your tutorials they have helped me so much

[@AnonymousAffiliation]

HMD SAVES LIVES!!! 🔥💯

[@nertilavretodanielmustafa]

You are the best bro 👊👊✌✌🙏

[@irvjson]

Tha mix docta himself 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@MarF-DD]

thank you, great as always!

[@jnyce283]

You should try Heat inside of protools just activate it and adjust setting in mix window and its all built in

[@JusJalin]

That first tip is elite 🔥 I wasn't doing this for so long and wondered why my mic sounded like 💩

[@holywaterandgreentea]

Excellent Thanks

[@hallsaga9719]

When i started using reference tracks my songs finally started sounding professional

[@streamofconsciousness1881]

Give us the full blast. I've been rolling off the low on my verbs and echo's, but the high's not so much, it really tames the tails in your example. Good stuff. Any suggestions on EQ'ing the Parallel Compressed channel, leave it flat or copy the "Master" instrument Bus, or hard cuts to highlight a particular frequency range (low Mid's / High Mid's).

[@gpmgwest105]

KEEP GOING!

[@bartekpiwonskiofficial]

Great video. Thank you.

[@sozinhofilipe5970]

Hy gy How is it Like your video, you are super tallents!now Am follow your tips try to be a better producer.

[@Eyuelin]

Damn bro your vocals are fire how u not famous yet

[@ronson795]

Dude, you basically just pushed the mids by 2 dB in Saturn2. The saturation knob was on zero so you didn´t really saturate. Also you added slight multiband compression as the default compression in Saturn2 stays at +0.2 on each band.

[@svctixnbeatz5844]

u hv great content ma G

[@LBREE2E]

Dopeeee. Always a great help

[@fulumbeats1310]

Thanks for this qualit advices, the video editing, it's very instructive, What the name of the song you mix? out ?

[@freedomwin784]

Summary: 1.Cleaning Up Effect Sends: When using reverb and delay effects, it's important to clean up the effect sends to free up more mixing space. Using an EQ to roll off low and high frequencies in reverb and delay effects can prevent muddiness and enhance clarity in the mix. 2.Parallel Compression: Parallel compression involves blending a heavily compressed version of the original signal with the dry signal to add power and energy to the sound. Different parallel compression chains can be created for various elements, such as vocals, instruments, and drums, to enhance specific parts of the mix. 3.Reference Mixing: Reference mixing is the practice of comparing your mix to a professionally mixed and similar-sounding reference track to ensure that your mix holds up in different listening environments. Choosing a reference track that matches your mix's style allows you to assess the balance and sound quality of your mix more effectively. 4.Analog Saturation: Analog saturation emulation plugins add harmonics and color to the audio signal, enhancing its overall tone and character. Analog saturation can provide warmth, depth, and excitement to the mix, making it sound more dynamic and lively.

What's the name of this song That your using to teach? Its so good... @Help Me Devon

[@GDMUSICPROD]

ey yo my man greetings from cartagena colombia Im super fan of your job and your tutorials, I think that you are amazing bro, I would like to know what interface you work with.. good vibes my man

[@playnogames340]

Hey Dev, been applying your techniques for a while now so always appreciate the content. Just an FYI, the EQ on Pro R is already Post reverb but there's always more than one way to achieve the same result.

[@SteveAdamsChannel]

He mentioned it in the video then said I want to show you if you don't have a verb with that capability!

[@CIABU]

Your songs are dope

[@ernmoneywrightdjrubbacity1723]

Thanks bro 😎
