How Jaycen Joshua Mixes Bass

[@georgetmusic]

Jaycen Mentions he uses the plugin KNOCK for subharmonics! Check out the plugin here pluginsthatknock.com/?ref=UB-0XX5HMD9Nld

[@juanfradebernardi5968]

do you know how does he use it??? i dont understand the thing about the subharmonics

[@mollyoko]

just not necessary if you use a real synth and have any modicum of skill as a producer.

[@robmanolo]

Soothe 2 settings: Hard | depth: 18 | selectivity: 6.4 | sharpness: 0 | Attack: fast | Release: 1.0 | set high pass 500hz with 24db/oct Q: .07 then side chain it to your kick

[@benjaminsweetmilk5013]

High Cut*

[@SeriousBeats]

thank you!

[@benbeazley2974]

Thanks for this. Dumb question as I'm new to this. Is Soothe sitting on the Bass line channel or the 808 and being triggered/key coming from kick?

[@ggdszzvx0509]

​@@benbeazley2974soothe is on the bass track, then you route the kick signal to the plugin's sidechain

[@kimseniorb]

lmao its material dependent you lazy bastards. it doesn’t work like thT😂

[@mrnovember410]

Video about bass being 8:08 in length. Hell yeah.

[@Barncore]

Haha good catch

[@aydenperkins2005]

NO way I didn't catch that!

[@kosmo_komputer]

Soothe is by far the best sidechain because it's cutting exactly the frequencies of the kick, and not just a general scoop out the low end. Edit: Trackspacer is dope too.

[@kahunamoneyminded8362]

Bro have you tried Track spacer ?

[@kosmo_komputer]

It’s also by far the most pricey sidechain 😂

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

Very important to notice that the kick is in tune with the instruments. Thank you for the video!

[@goodmorning-bd1oi]

the intro is too funny bro, you are killing the game edit - oh nah bro... the entire things editing is too fire

[@xxllx86]

I’ve heard that a lot of upcoming producer these days tend to use plugins like Soothe 2 and Smoothe Operator on almost all of their individual instrument tracks as their standard go-to plugin. And even though it works it tends to de-harsh too much of everything and it makes the sounds and tracks feel lifeless. But in this special case it really becomes in handy. BTW: I’ve seen a video about Smoothe Operator and a bug where Babyaudio updated the plug-in. There is the opportunity of changing the plug-in between Classical and Modern mode, where the classic mode introduces strange sound fragments and distortion and the modern mode gets rid of the strange behavior. So people should really use the modern mode, not the classic mode.

[@alloutofoptions]

There's no comparison to Soothe2, there's a harshness that's still in smooth operator that can't be derailed. Soothe is worth every penny, plus I just caught on sale for 139💯

Great in depth review on TGP! I love this plugin, and now I understand more about why! Thank you sir!!!

[@bruhrashad]

Trackspacer is very similar to soothe too, as far as being a great quick sidechain technique. Just like soothe, you can choose which frequencies are effected

[@BrofUJu]

Yeah whole time I watched this I just thought "I'll just use Trackspacer" way faster too

[@georgetmusic]

He actually uses trackspacer on his all music bus sidechained to the vocals

[@bruhrashad]

@@georgetmusic oh nice! That's a great idea

[@ScottThePisces]

@@BrofUJu yeah use what you already have, soothe is just more controlled

[@kosmo_komputer]

Was thinking this

[@marcito12345]

Is there any difference between manually trimming the 808s transients to give the kick space like he does, and just sidechaining it? Using laser sidechain for example does pretty much the exact same thing right?

[@Alex-wl6oc]

Yes. manual volume automation does have more control in the sense that a compressor's release control is always dependent on the input (the kick). to get more control using a compressor, shape the input signal (the kick) by only letting in the top end of a kick, creating a sharper attack and release of the compressor since low end is usually more sustained, making the compressor clamp down for longer than maybe needed.

[@Mixedbyjojo355]

Use the duck plugin ! Has different envelope shapes!

[@Hogboy345]

Send a click to trigger Pro-C, super tight/clean sidechain.

[@josepapiii]

I'd advise looking into baphometrix channel. He uses the best method imo, a ducker paired with an oscilloscope so you get the perfect sidechain

[@romanmark]

Of course there is no difference ) When you know what are you doing it doesn't matter what instrument you use.

[@wfhhq1976]

lol bro :) Im loving this intros. you got a good sense of humor my friend. expand on that if you can

[@ScantlessBeatz]

@GeorgeTmusic so i just downloaded this GodP plugin and it definitely makes the whole mix a lot louder. Im getting ready to do a deep dive into it and go live playing with the features.

[@adrian_ajv]

I love how the length is 8:08

[@tyreemorrison732]

JJ is one my of favs, and I’m never opposed to knowledge. But I found using Ali’s method more effective, which is just EQ’ing the kick to taste so that it just cuts through your 808 🤷🏽‍♂️ less work, less plug ins. Plus you don’t lose any 808 information 😁🤝🏽

[@DreTheEngineer]

EXPLAIN OR SEND LINK

[@diemturner5755]

@@DreTheEngineer He did explain it. That's about as straight forward as it gets. EQ the kick so that it occupies its own space where the 808 isn't to inhibit masking effects between the two. That's what the EQ is for. That's how EQing has been done forever and should be done as a SOP because if you don't, instruments are going to mask one another all over the place creating a smeared, foggy and undifferentiated mix with poor instrument separation. What's the alternative? Setting up sidechain ducking EVERYWHERE as an alternative method of equalization that you could equate to a 1-band broad frequency dynamic EQ of sorts? I suppose you could do that in theory and I'm sure you could make it work but, it wouldn't be my first choice.

[@stylzkeyz]

Instead of Trimming the 808 I sidechain with Wavesfactory Trackspacer. Its perfect, precise and easy to use. The shit is like Parsley; I use it on EVERYTHING lolol.

[@Getemprod.]

im getting it next pay bro

[@DreTheEngineer]

WOULDNT TRACK SPACE DUCK THE ENTIRE 808? HE IS JUST DUCKING THE ATTACKS

[@TonyByte]

Isn't using the Cableguys Kickstarter 2 (and now VolumeShaper in Shaperbox 3) , in audio mode, exactly the same thing as trimming down and copy / pasting on every 808 manually? You can see the waveform of the actual kick layered over your 808 and make a custom curve just as precise. No?

[@g.o.9513]

Yes. 1/10th the price too!

How can you mix with just your right ear?

[@devinkei1469]

Does this sidechain work for ghost kicks? I would only do that because it doesn't have a lookahead, unless it has a lookahead?

[@Skrenja]

It would be kind of pointless for a ghost kick if you're just using a click sound. If it's a silent duplicate of the actual song's kick it would work, though.

anyone know the piece playing in the beautiful intro?

[@_peeg2033]

can someone please explain the 2dB thing he mentions in the video because i really don't get it

[@bluedev1495]

I interpret that he is using automation to drag the transient down -2db since he doesn’t need both the kick and 808 pumping at the same time because they cover the same part of the low end spectrum. So he saves 2db of headroom by carving 2db off the kick or 808 (forget which one he said he does it on). By saving that headroom he can then crank his mix up higher before the kick and 808, start to clip or distort in the limiter

[@sin_phany_tv]

Guys what’s up, I am a blind engineer, and believe me, I’m pretty talented, and would love to share my music, anyways the reason I’m riding is because I cannot follow along at all what he did on the preset for sooth, too, is there any chance that you could send me the presets so I can sidechain it to my Kik And base it would mean the world. Let me know if you guys can help me out. I use logic, and ProTools.

[@elonthebass6870]

How is he using Soothe2 and MV2 as parallels and sidechains? Both those plugins have latency. Soothe2 in particular is very CPU intensive. I’m using Logic X. What am I missing here? Great video yet again btw.

[@jonmovtxan6556]

I don't think you are missing anything. I once tried replicating his template, and one of the conclusions I came to is that he has a beast of a computer.

[@obangamuzik]

Idk how logic works but in protools you can turn on delay compensation that’s for plugins with latency and it keep everything in sync

[@georgetmusic]

Soothe isn’t parallel he uses it for side changing. For mv2 he has a parallel aux that he sends best elements to

[@Nightmoore]

Latency shouldn't effect anything you're doing while mixing. When you hit the spacebar in your DAW and start playback, the DAW should automatically calculate how much time is needed using delay compensation so everything stays in sync. Latency becomes an issue when tracking instruments or vocals. That's the whole deal with fighting latency. That also includes trying to play something in using MIDI. Once you've got a bunch of plugins and effects going, it's nearly impossible to punch in and start recording a guitar solo or play anything that requires you being locked into the groove. Playback though? Not a big deal.

Basically just automate the volume of the 808 everytime the kick hits so that they don't both hit at the same time. You can use Fruity balance and automate the volume or you can automate the fader from the mixer. You can also automate the low end of the 808 everytime that the kick hits to simulate what soothe2 does. It just takes so much time to do all of this.

FL studio also have custom sidechain input, click on the gear icon (VST Wrapper Settings), then click "processing" and choose 1 in "Stereo Side Chain" box. Now, your custom plugin is able to receive sidechain information from mixer routing
