[@malobeats]

Haha yo, I highly appreciate you taking the time and sharing your feedback. Nothing but love and blessings to you brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽🙏🏽

[@nakotaunyane8783]

That beat in the background 🔥🔥🔥

[@doughpalicious7270]

Love this type of videos. Mixing in the context of hip hop is very helpful to understand the nuances of what to look out for and to understand what to apply to my own beats. Would definitely be interested in more videos like this. Very helpful. Thank you!

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much for this feedback it means a lot and I also wanna say thank you for taking the time and watching the video. This will not be the last video I do on mixing so be on the lookout. Again I really want to say thank you for taking the time brother. Blessings

[@kayfox902]

Your videos are literally the best, keep it up!

[@brandonsmith2594]

I asked you about mixing on the last video and you came through best beat production channel on KZbin thanks bro

[@malobeats]

Hey Brandon, just know I do my best to read each comment and to come through as I know there’s a lot of people messaging and I’m not able to get to everybody but I do my best. It will not be the last video on mixing in mastering so again thank you so much for your feedback it really means a lot. Blessings to you my brother

[@Rulon-bo1ig]

The results are fire, the drums slice through your mix beautifully, and choosing the right samples helps a great deal, you really don’t need much to get a nice mix these days!

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing your feedback it really means a lot. And you’re absolutely right with the right samples and drums the only thing I’m doing to my mixes is adding texture and having some fun with different plug-ins. Thank you so much for taking your time I really appreciate you

[@Houdinibeatz]

I learn Alot from this MALO! Thanks you! Please dont stop making your videos! I respect you craft my mann!

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much for these words of encouragement they really go along way, your support is extremely valuable and I hope to continue to deliver. Blessings to you my brother.

[@siifi]

I'm sticking around, just subscribed. I am looking forward to learning how to mix and master 🙏🚀

[@mrloosethegoose]

Yes. We need mixing tutorials on mpc. Thanks man.

[@malobeats]

Hey Jayson thank you so much for dropping by and sharing this feedback it really means a lot and I’ll definitely be posting more on mixing and mastering on the MPC itself. I appreciate you brother thank you

[@mrloosethegoose]

@@malobeats your channel kicls ass. I see lots of subscribers coming.

[@stevesample]

Great video, love your content 🔥

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much for the feedback and support, I highly appreciate you taking the time. Blessings to you

[@fitog9249]

Hell yeaa my bro 🔥, great video ! Will be on the lookout for the next one . RC-20 is 🔥, I got it like a year ago and always use it .

[@LoneGRoEnt]

Great video.. I'm having a hard time mixing masting my boom baps and it was helpful to see your workflow. Thank you, sir.

[@CaldoHits]

Would be fire to see more mixing and mastering content. This is absolutely fire.

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so much for this feedback and also the request as I really want to start diving in to mixing and mastering but that would be new content to my channel so I’m not sure how it would respond, your feedback really means a lot and I’ll be sure to keep this in mind thank you. Blessings to you

[@RustyShacklefordIrishHipHop]

@@malobeats yes, 100% behind seeing all this too!

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

This is very very very interesting for because most of the mixing and mastering videos are regarding songs with vocals and studio recorded instruments and shit. I needed a mixing session for a beat with chops! Thank you!

[@malobeats]

Thank you for this feedback and that is one of the reasons why I want to start diving into mixing and mastering some boom BAP sample based Production since it’s a very different workflow when it comes down to mixing. This won’t be the last video I do on this topic and I hope to do more very soon. Blessings my brother and thank you for your feedback it really means a lot

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

@@malobeats thank you for the reply and I'm looking forward to the videos! I'm mostly mixing in the MPC Because I still only have Ableton Lite. I'm waiting for a sale to get the 14 tracks (and more version).

[@henryskillz1090]

Nice work brother your videos are very informative. Good progress in this. take notes people this is free education.

[@MixedbyBreeze]

thanks for this brother

[@Lorage]

thanks a lot !

[@johnnymandez]

🔥🔥🔥 Thank you!

[@malobeats]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ramsessjappie]

Thanks for sharing the video, very interesting to see your process! A quick tip: when you right click any knob in a Soundtoys plugin it will show the exact value, so you can see at what exact frequency the filter is set.

[@Edge_0202]

🔥🔥🔥

[@malobeats]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@carbonvibes]

“Don’t pan your drums” lol Very good advice Malo, thanks for sharing your process and practices. You are definitely not the only person who echos avoiding panning drums and I agree. 🔥

[@malobeats]

Lol Thank you brother appreciate you taking the time and sharing your feedback, obviously it depends on the style of music we are mixing but for boom BAP style of beats I tend not to pan Any of my drums but obviously it’s not a set of rules it’s just something I do. Blessings to you my brother

[@KarasamaBeats]

definitely ! especially boombap drums, i prefer to keep them all dead center

[@tompbeatsCO]

Oh shiiit. This video's gonna be good.

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, I appreciate you dropping by and taking the time I hope you enjoyed the content. Blessings

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Interesting, I want to go back an master old tracks.

[@malobeats]

I know that feeling lol, I have so many old beats from years ago that I’m tempted to remix and master but I know it will take some time. Thank you for dropping by brother it means a lot.

[@veracityhiphop]

Dope work, soaking all the info I can find after coming off a long hiatus. I will add that over mixing is not the best thing to do anyways since there needs to be headroom for the vocal artists. Then the full mix and master should be handled by engineers that focus primarily in that section of our field. (Not saying you or anyone else can’t be multi talented and be a mixing/mastering engineer yourself!) The main goal should always be proper sound selection and have everything complement each other. It’s one of my major issues with beat leasing as a lot of them master their beats for loudness to entice people to purchase. Then they record and can’t have their vocals sit well because no headroom or tweaking of individual frequencies is given. Very frustrating to see. Thanks for the no nonsense vid on mixing broski. Wish you much success

[@malobeats]

This is deep, I’m so glad you wrote this in the comments and you’re absolutely right I’ve always told a lot of my clients when I used to mix music to always hire a mastering engineer that is dedicated to that art but a lot of people didn’t have that type of budget so I ended up mastering for them. Thank you so much for taking the time insurance this valuable input.

[@theareaofgraffitiwild8529]

Could you tell me if you make a gain structure for each sound or just go directly to a mix in the DAW mixer because the first step I do is put each sound at minus 18 db and from there I go to mix in the mixer

[@stephenkaras2784]

Great video! People like yourself who actually share your knowledge on this process are invaluable to the rest of us, thank you so much. Quick question, did you do any processing on the drum samples inside the MPC before exporting to Ableton for this video? Or are these just good samples you selected?

[@davidscott2095]

Great video, Malo. I feel like I'm back in college. Great job. Thank you kindly. And the moral of the video: DON'T PAN YOUR DRUMS! 😂😂😂 Tell us how you really feel. Blessings!

[@malobeats]

Hey David, lol well technically anybody can do what they want but I tend to keep my drums in mono when I’m mixing boom BAP style of hip-hop lol. Appreciate your brother thank you for dropping by

[@davidscott2095]

@@malobeats ❤👊

[@darthknowl9222]

Can you do a video on mixing in the MPC One or Live? That would be very helpful. Thanks

[@roots1981]

Hi Malo and thanks for your contents! Just a question about AIAIAI and mpc headphone out…mine sound too high and i have to reduce volume by the rotary gain, and using jbl104 monitors the master volume became too low instead. There is a solution to level both volume independently?

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

Seeing that you're only using 5 tracks makes me doubt all my beat making process :D I'm always using 10 tracks then I arrange the beat mostly with the mutes and shit. You have an amazing stop right around the beggining of the beat. Is it possible to make something similar in standalone mode?

[@prodbydrumdrop]

does youtube just come out louder or is it me picking not loud enough sounds? because when i level the kick and everything at a good level it doesn't sound as full and loud as yours.

[@Elliott.Revell]

Just a thought Malo, if you ever wanted to do some content on remixing someone elses beat using the mpc, I'd be happy to provide some stems and do some cross promotion. Keep it up dude.

[@abelchristian951]

Which version of Ableton is best to mix in cuz I have lite and im only limits me to 8 tracks - is there a way around this ?

[@JayInTheLab1989]

I would like to see how you would clean up vocals with background noise and instrument artefacts left in, same on how you would mix samples with drums in the background you don’t really want. 👍🏻

[@ariarimeowmeow]

Is that a Nana Caymi sample? Immediately thought of her when you played the beat

[@rasmussgaard2596]

Nice video! What track is this @0:45 ?

[@Groove_digga]

Does anyone know how to convert a sound/sample to mono from the mpc one? i need help with that 🙏🙏

[@isaacjohnklein]

"Stems" are not the same as "Tracks". STEMS are 2-Track Mixes of group elements. TRACKS are the individual MULTI-TRACKS of your session.

[@Johnnystormbeats]

Anyone find a quick way to export stems to ableton? Process takes forever smh. I love my MPC live 2 just a hassle moving stems to mix

[@PRODUCEDBYAD]

Oh man mixing and mastering is the thing I need to work on most! Love the live 2 and barely use any daws but this seems waaaaay better for mixing

[@malobeats]

I know exactly what you mean, and you’re more than capable to mix and master on the MPC since it does provide you with all the tools but in my personal opinion I enjoy mixing and mastering in a DAW much more.

[@AdamFraserTv]

I enjoy and appreciate what you do but there are some methods you’ve mentioned that I amongst many others would disagree with and that is not panning your drum elements . For example : in this very video you’re attempting to make the kick the most prominent which is exactly what you want to do however, one of The best ways to achieve that is by panning other elements and it will naturally centralize the kick . It’s not necessarily about volume and more about pockets / eq etc. Just a friendly tip .With that being said , there are also NO RULES especially in a creative space so I would recommend others to experiment but there are definitely tricks /tips to achieving specific desired effects . Thank you again for the content .

[@malobeats]

Hey man, thank yo so much for taking the time and sharing this valuable input with us. I love hearing other methods to try out and this is so dope. This is golden 🫡🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@JEFFMAN90]

I'd rather mix and arrange in a DAW as well. The MPC is the best tool to make beats on though.

[@malobeats]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@prodbydrumdrop]

the drum samples i use must be terrible because my mix just sounds low after the leveling lol

[@aesogoins2580]

What kind of computer are you running your daw & plugins on?

[@malobeats]

At that time when I filmed that video, it was an old Intel iMac, but I’ve recently upgraded to the M2 mini pro which has been a night and day difference from my performance

[@aesogoins2580]

@@malobeats thanks for the info. I’m tryna figure out the best computer to buy for running Logic Pro. I currently have the MPC Live ll, SP404 & the Aurturia Microfreak. I want to expand & finish my beats in Logic & also be able to run plugins or master without problems.

[@shoqwavebeats8745]

I listened to all your albums couldn't find this track,

[@EuphoricCritiques]

Hey bro a couple of basic things to make your mix sound better. Might wanna add eq before compression in the sample bus. Also when side chaining your kick to your sample you wanna do that pre fx rather than post because you have a pultec on the kick. Hope this helps and happy mixing!

[@darthknowl9222]

Panning your drums=‘s the fastest way for people to not like your beats

[@user-pd7ch5de8j]

Even Eminem panning drums xd

[@edbaiza7757]

Those speakers are $1600.00 a pair
