I just stopped the video to comment. You should be proud of yourself. Seriously. I kick myself every day bc I didn’t commit more time to studying and perfecting my passion for music. There are several good channels that I watch for tips and information but I have made your channel my go to for my brain meals on music. Your videos are extremely useful and will certainly take ones creativity and production to a new level. Well done sir. Well done. Who knows what kind of skills you will have sharpened by the time you are my age.👏🤝 +k+

Started from the beggining without skipping forward and then started laughing to myself as the underwater gem came about with the half time and not forgetting the drums bus section.

[@fioribeats]

Man how much harder can my drums hit? you guys keep dropping gems. I’ve known about drum bus mixing but never did it before

[@fioribeats]

Do engineers not mind having those drums on one wav instead of split up when they get the trackouts then?

Fiori in my next trick I’ll show you how to make the drums disappear 😂

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

[@ayylmao6113]

Tip - 1:40 control click to select all the different drum tracks in the mixer to route them to the drum bus all at once instead of going one by one

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Ayy Lmao thanks for mentioning! I didn’t because sometimes the tracks aren’t linked in order they are scattered!

Walk Among Kings we actually didn’t mean for that...😂 we made a really bad beat and then we were like “what if we slow it down?” And it saved us haha! But I love that we didn’t like it at first because it shows that not every beat is gonna be fire! And we just kept going and posted it because it was live on camera. But thank you so much!

@@LifeStyleDidIt the perceived loudness with the JST CLIP changed everything for me. It's the real deal. Thank you very much.

[@gelatinous6915]

Something that can definitely help with those super punchy dynamic kicks is to lo-cut the clip mix. Letting the sub frequencies go through can help maintain a little more bass without having to fix it in EQ (which can suck after you've gotten a good loud clip)

[@JAYFLOPROBEATS]

As many times I've been on youtube learning how to mix "properly" you just blow my mind with your approach to gain staging. It's stuff like this that keeps me from going hard on developing my youtube channel because one minute I learn how to do something and then want to possibly share it by building up through my channel the next I don't because BAM I run into a video like this because the other way I learned how to do a particular thing is totally different BUT your way is more effective than the previous way I learned and applied from somewhere else. Looks like form now own all my mixing knowledge is coming from you.

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

haha thank you so much! Everyone is gonna have their own way of teaching it and explaining it, that's the beautiful thing

[@JAYFLOPROBEATS]

@@LifeStyleDidIt You right about that bro! I think what it boils down to is whatever i learn from you I apply it in my own way to my own projects and beats then in turn like everything else "pay it forward" by giving the game back to those who follow me and look to learn in the same way because I may find additional cool ways to utilize those same techniques in my sound and teach other that without having that feeling of just regurgitating info from someone else. One of the reasons I haven't came straight out the gate with the traditional "FL Tuts" because it's already so many with that provide those tutorials already like yourself there really is no need to put out the same beginner style teachings or tutorials, IMO

thanks for the video man! i usually put a t-racks clipper on the master at the end of everything, idk, should i put also a soft clipper on the drum bus? or it would be 'overclipped'? same question with compression, i've hard that a little bit of compression on the drumbus (like 1 db or little more) helps creating more groove, but ik ill put compression on the master too, so idk, hope u will answer! videos lit

[@Mubu5Reborn]

Cool tut. Already do all of this so I skipped some parts of the vid. A bit surprised you didn't cover NY/Parallel Compression. It works really well for drum sounds especially on a send channel so you can have the mix know be the volume fade and get more control over how you want the compressed sound to be affected. My go to is audio damage rough rider. But i guess a clipper can achieve the same effect, it's all for the purpose of saturating and bringing in some warmth where EQ alone would fail. Looking forward to the next vid!

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Mubu5Reborn thanks. I left it out because I’m going to make a full video on it. I use it about 3 different ways so I want to make a full video to showcase it

[@watchdiscover]

Hi again, just a quick last two questions if ok!. So after having applied these effects to the drum bus (e.g. clipper), would you typically still apply normal compression to control for subtle drum dynamics etc? Also, for parallel/NY compression, I’ve seen people apply aggressive/obvious compression on the wet channel (e.g. drums), and of course zero compression on the dry channel, then balance them. Is it safe to say then that subtle compression (e.g. gently shaping the dynamics, even-out softly etc) is not really used in parallel compression then? Kindest Regards and thank you once again
