[@drumandbassonvinyl]

One of my mentors taught me to “Learn the rules well, so you’ll know how to break them.” That was one of the most important things I’ve learned about music production.

[@Tai-Dye]

Nice

[@thepandasdoitbetter]

EXCEPT THERE ARE NO RULES Xd

[@Nocsucal-BeatGod]

That’s phenomenal advice. Absolutely true

[@aiconic10]

Facts. Indeed, there are rules. Base concepts you need to understand. Then you can be creative and add your own spin from there.

[@High.on.Life_DnB]

@@aiconic10 not even sure about the base concepts, but yeah, you need a slight understanding of some technical music terms, other than that, you just have to be creative 🙂 as long as you make something your ears can enjoy, it's all good! (Oh and good audio equipment definitely helps!!! You'll want monitor speakers or at least calibrated speakers)

Excellently done Thank you for quality content 💪🏻

[@danbient]

I really needed to hear the whole mix as an artist vs engineer thing. I feel like the vibe and energy are there right after balancing and then I tweak the life out of it.

[@pickyourselfofficial]

Oh yeah that’s a good one! A cool little heck is to save that first rough mix as a different session, export it, and then load it as a reference in your “real” mixing session. I use metric AB for referencing, makes it really easy. This workflow can help you not get too far away from the original essence.

[@realraven2000]

i always put older mixes on top of the page (in Cubase i like the split arrangement with chord and marker tracks with notes on top) - then I am always one solo click away from "am i getting better or worse? ". if I got worse, ask myself what do I prefer about the old mix?

[@realraven2000]

@@pickyourselfofficial Totally, routing is super easy, love the side chain management... as regards exporting as different session (not sure if I understood that fully), you can just click on "add track after mixdown" when making the rough mix 0- then you automatically have a fully aligned mix reference, just make sure it is routed to Stereo out and not the Master group with all the processing.

I use the exact limiter on every single track, the audio cue to hear what is being limited is such a huge benefit. I remember producing tracks and basically didn't eq, didn't group, didn't compress or limit, zero mixing or mastering basically, because I didn't know it was even a thing. At least I panned stuff? That was over 20 years ago. It's been a fun journey even though I'd still call myself an intermediate/advanced producer at most, not a master of the craft despite well over 10,000 hours. There is never a day without learning when it comes to producing. It's like the weightlifting meme of the music world. Do you even lift? No, no you don't lift.

[@Synthpoptroubadour]

Excellent tips bruh

[@JonValtandtheEvilRobots]

Lol when he says listen to this sample and tell me what you focused on, I was keeping tally of the different *instruments* I was paying attention to. I wasn’t aware of any mixing stuff - wasn’t listening for it. His Tip #1 is spot on. Glad I got to experience it. Because I always hear “mix with your ears” and I do believe it, but perhaps I don’t truly practice it.

[@greensleeves32]

Enjoyed the video and will be watching more! I need help with workflow in my 150+ track sessions lol

[@phinyx]

Point #1 - great one! I have thought about this a lot and how Mix Engineers MAKE musical decisions, not just "objective, scientific" decisions as if it's not musical at all. And this has been the case since the advent of mixing music recordings in the analog era....electricity made it possible even before the computer, and that's why ALL *recordings* are "electronic music": not possible without electricity....all that vocal processing comes from either hardware or software, but it's a result of electricity, not from the mechanical era of music.

[@ricardochiesa9829]

Im a videogame music composer, and as soon as you said listen like an artist, not like an engineer, you got me. especially in video games where there is not a single idealized professional sound, but more like profiles that correspond to a particular artisfs works aa if their mixing style part of the composers craft and an extension of the composition itslef.

this happened to me just today. I was making a2nd mix version of a track and i've started to surgically fix some things in the main synth elements (old recording of some grooveboxes of reaktor, very articulate and with various elements each) and i ended with a perfectly balanced track with no emotion and character. So i went back to the first version, fixing just what it needed.

[@hippietrap]

grouping stems is such a big one. organization in general but grouping is going to help with bus processing and getting your tracks louder which is going to also help the mastering later. or that sbeen my experience great tip!

Never thought of mixing into a limiter. I always rendered my mix and started a new mastering project. Why? In just don’t know..😂 This is going so save me a lot of time. Good advice!

[@jeremypcaulfield2474]

Great Tutorial ..❤sometimes the mistakes that a limiter demonstrates on a mix can be disheartening. It takes some patience to pull though and balance levels before trying again ..

[@cilafr]

Thx for the video :) Silly question: do you export your stereo mix for mastering with or without the limiter enabled ?

[@SoundPeaks]

The advice for grouping stuff comes out of the bad grouping capabilities of Ableton. In other linear DAWs this insight comes very organic and quick during the study of production. After the limiter, there should be a waveshaper if you really want to push the limits.

[@heistworld]

Amazing video! If it's alright to share, I am wondering what model of Audeze headphones you use for mixing and mastering?

[@KitKalvert]

Great video thank you! I presume you disable the limiter just before sending the mix off to mastering?

[@spiritspun4836]

What we are talking about here really is the left brain versus the right brain approach to life. The right brain can appreciate the whole flower but the left brain breaks it down into its parts. They say that Beethoven downloaded the entire symphony from the Universe through the right brain while the left brain merely put the notes on the paper. Getting lost in the minutiae leads to averageness at best. The right brain is able to put everything in its context. Using the stem groups enables higher order artistic functioning in the brain which activates your inner genius capacity. Great video! Please share more of your tips.

[@aaronmichaelmusic_]

I’ve sent my demos to some big labels over a long period of time. It has only been until recently I’ve got compliments on my mixing and mastering from A&R. Honestly…. It comes down to the mix. For dance music, the spectrum needs to look similar to the Pink Noise spectrum. The mix should have 3-6 db of open headroom, and it’s okay if it peaks sometimes above that, but rarely. The big mistake most ppl make is having their tops too loud. Just turn it down. Our ears are attuned to hear those sounds easily. I don’t use “glue” compressors, I don’t use compressors at all in my mix, unless it’s for sidechaining, adding gain, and limiting a sound to get a uniform volume. My mastering chain is extremely simple. I literally only use a tape exciter, imager and a limiter. That’s it. I push the limiter to hit 3-4 db of gain reduction, again, at the louder parts of the track. I check the master fader to make sure it’s always hitting the top threshold during the main parts of the track which I set to -.1.

[@felixando7492]

Good insights thank you. One question, do you think it is better to use a second gain staging plugin like ableton’s utility to push the volume that goes into the pro-l instead of letting the pro-l do the whole work? I noticed that sometimes for very quiet mixes where I need to push the gain dramatically on a limiter , it introduces a lot of saturation before I even reach the target lufs level, but when I split that task with another gain plugin, I seem to be able to reach that loudness without any noticeable saturation.

[@bluematrix5001]

Those peaks make sense as correlate to the high pitched instruments that are resonants but is how those sounds are..are their core essence

[@tubeo94]

Good content

[@gumbilicious1]

In my experience, people don’t really care about EQ and compression when evaluating a song. It has to sound ok with The Mix, but song writing, instrumentation and arrangement are where the song is made… then mixing helps the sound. Spend most of your musical efforts writing songs and recording, get them to sound interesting, this goes much farther than mixing tips

[@alexc9278]

Yeah, once you have a good song aka arrangement, sound design etc. mixing is easier also

[@Collins777]

Great video, really appreciate the info. Does anyone know how to enable the LUFS meter on the pro L-2? Ive been using the youlean loudness meter this whole time, and I cant figure out how to enable the extra meter in the pro L-2

[@albinholmlund]

I’ve looked up the lufs values for some of my favorite tracks in my genre (Swedish punk) a few years ago and that’s where I found out that not only Swedish punk but almost all punk is mastered to approx -6 lufs. And ever since then I’ve been using that as a target, and it has worked really well for me. But it has always bothered me that everyone everywhere keeps recommending that you master the tracks low. This is the first time I hear someone even mention the -6 lufs target! Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but whenever I master low volume it sounds muddy and lame. But whenever I push it to between -8 and -5 lufs it slaps 😄

[@billaveda6408]

I've measured some Trance tracks at -6db also. The loudness wars have not gone away.

[@albinholmlund]

@@billaveda6408 Yea. It’s literally worse than ever. The loudness wars used to be about “how high can we push this records volume without losing the sound and quality”. And back in the cd era there was really no good measurement available for how loud it was, except subjectively determining if the volume is worth the loss in dynamics. But ever since we started normalizing, the problem is that to be able to normalize, we must automatically measure the loudness, which gives producers a metric that they can try and go around and trick into making their track louder. I have a very unrelated parallel i thought about a while ago. There used to be basically an open drug market at the center of my city, and the cops kept arresting people there. So they came up with the idea to put cameras everywhere to prevent people from buying drugs of each other. And it worked great on paper, but in reality it just forced the criminals to be smarter in where and how they sold drugs. So it actually made it much harder to arrest those people that used to be very easy to spot, and it also made it more dangerous for people buying drugs since they couldn't be at public places anymore. The point is that if there is a demand, putting restrictions on it just gives people more reason to be smart about it, which will make the problem even harder to solve. I think the loudness war will end when an AI exists which actually can determine loudness with precision, making it impossible to trick the system. Someone is probably already trying to make this.

[@mukeshpathak7302]

Hey bro. A quick question, currently I'm producing (2 years in now) and doing mixing of my tracks but for mastering I just use Bandlab's free mastering service ..and release my tracks with that. As I want to improve my productions and mixing, I don't spend time mastering... Do you think Bandlab's mastering is okay? Or should Invest time to learn mastering as well?

[@royalmusicparis]

the more important is too respect some point like the volume, the panning, a good balance, a good true peak, the limiter yes is important too... but the balance is really important

[@EricDoesMusic]

great video

[@elevan2760]

Nice vid.. quick question, why would you use such a small boost on the master bus and then follow it up with compression? Wouldn't the boosted signal trigger the compressor first, and then be compressed to the same level to before the eq was used?

[@altseason_musik]

gold advice

[@realraven2000]

i like the grouping capabilities of your DAW. in Cubase i often do folder tracks for organisation and group tracks for summing and volume / stem automation. in your DAW this seems to be combined into groups?

[@pickyourselfofficial]

Yeah to be honest, for mixing client projects I actually work in cubase because I find the routing options more flexible. But Ableton definitely has a nice UX if you keep things rather simple and don’t need tons of return tracks.

[@klubstompers]

In Cubase, i have set up a default arrangement, so when i open Cubase and start a new project, i already have my groups and vst's i commonly use in the those groups sitting in the group, and as i add new tracks i put them under that group track; Kicks, Subs/Rumble, Perc, Leads, Stabs, fx/sweeps, vocals. You can select all the tracks under that group track and color them if you want.

[@dirtykvrt]

Great video! What do you suggest to use for what you mentioned about limiting / monitoring LUFS if you don’t have pro L . I only have pro Q 3. Thank you!

[@pickyourselfofficial]

In that case, use whatever limiter you already own together with the referencing process I show in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/monKeJmcbqqhb6csi=wuwbuDf6ragPpBEK

[@digitalmindstudio8143]

[@turbofuntime]

Im curious, how is it that when listening to the clipping at the end of your video, you are able to tell thats its from the bass? Is it because the rhythm of the clipping matches the kick?

[@gbigbo_zjebeezjeboo]

great tips !! Is this listening function also available in Ableton stock limiter plugins ? If not, how can we achieve this ?

[@pickyourselfofficial]

My 100% honest reply: I think you can get VERY far with Ableton's stock tools, but at least one great limiter for the end of your chain is a good investment. The Ableton Limiter might be okay for single tracks but it's just not suitable for mastering. Same goes for the FL Studio Limiter and most other stock DAW limiters.

[@gbigbo_zjebeezjeboo]

@@pickyourselfofficial any idea about IK Multimedia T-Rack TR5 plugins ? Suitable for mastering ?

[@pickyourselfofficial]

I don’t have personal experience with them so all I can say is that pretty much every mastering engineer I know uses the Fabfilter L2, Ozone Maximizer, or Bettermaker Master limiter. But there are exceptions for sure.

[@monkmusic5994]

Gute Tipps.

[@Rhekluse]

Pushing the master limiter to a specific LUFS isn't always a wise approach because you can really over-squash and ruin the whole mix trying to reach an arbitrary loudness level. It's really important to listen to what the limiter is doing so you can maintain the integrity of the mix; like the low end and the drums. It's possible to achieve the loudness you want with less master limiter workload by doing some of the heavy lifting in the mix. Cheers!

[@alejandromagana1554]

I have an eternal question that I have never seen it answered and that is: how does a properly mixed track look like (I KNOW it matters how it sounds first) but my gut feeling as in pro standards there must be a “defined” way a pro mix looks in its waveform before sending it to mastering. Do you have any resource, idea or any comment really about this? I’ve checked the mixes from my own music that I get from the engineers I hired in the past, but now that I’m starting to mix my own stuff I’m curious about details like: how dynamic can I leave the mixes? Is it good that it has very minor peaks within the waveform? Etc etc

[@pickyourselfofficial]

Great question! To be honest: It really depends on what the song wants to be. So there can’t be one ideal-looking mix. I’ve seen mixes that looked very weird on analyzers plus waveform but sounded great. I’ve also seen some that looked super nice and balanced but sounded boring, lifeless, and muddy. I know that this isn’t the answer you were looking for but it’s the only real answer I can give you.

[@billaveda6408]

Isn't clipping the same as limiting? I've always thought that compression is a soft limiting (like pushing the amplitude of a waveform down) and that limiting is a hard ceiling (clipping the top of the amplitude).

[@OfoeNelson]

For 150 stems breaks down to about 15 stems layered 10 times right? Does layering really make a difference if its the same sound

[@dalgren]

[@guybraham1483]

so i get why you put a limiter and it helps hearing mistakes you made, but after correcting them do you take the limiter off? cause isn't sending the song to be mastered when you already limited would make it harder for the mastering guy?

[@evanwickstrom7990]

Is there no way to measure loudness build into ableton?

[@npawelczyk]

would you recommend disabling the limiter before exporting the track and sending it off to mastering?

[@pickyourselfofficial]

Yes, if you export in 32bit floating point (recommended). If that’s not the case for whatever reason, make sure to check the whole song for any peaks before deactivating the limiter and exporting. In case you spot a peak, lower the whole mix accordingly. With proper gain staging, there shouldn’t be any peaks above 0dBTP. And in case you see/ hear/ read that you should always export at -6dB, that’s total BS.

[@npawelczyk]

@@pickyourselfofficial thanks for the info! so you're also saying, if you export in 32-bit floating point, then it's ok to export with some peaks above 0dBTP?

[@pickyourselfofficial]

@@npawelczyk 32bit floating point allows the mastering engineer to reconstruct those peaks and normalize everything down to below 0dBTP without any quality issues. I still don't understand why 99% of producers deliver pre-masters at 24bit. Most mastering engineers, myself included, even mention 32 bit floating point as the ideal export format.

[@npawelczyk]

@@pickyourselfofficial great to know, I really appreciate all of this info! One last question, if you don't mind--are you also "mixing into" the EQ and compressor, and you'd disable them before exporting? Or would you consider those devices part of the mixdown that stay enabled during the export of the pre-master?

[@pickyourselfofficial]

They are part of the mixbus processing. If in doubt, double check with your mastering engineer. I always consult my clients personally throughout the whole process.

"Mix like an artist" - mainly stereo separation and levels?

[@nebelform]

yup I follow pretty much the same way. I dont Like non Linear Eq´s on the Master. Or while Mixing neither. Lol I pretty much Hate doing cuts on Bass. Makes it sound so ugly lol. Some people say you dont need the part under 40 hz and they´re cutting it away but in my cases it basically wont work. I just use one Autofilter from ableton before the Master-Chain and That´s It. No more low cuts :D Synthwise Its different, I pretty much cut every synth that has not necessary Bass in it. Depends on the Material. Fast Bass tripplets or something like that I wont lowcut, better use a shelf to controll it and and use some sidechaining. xD

Omg. I literally just watched your Video how to mix Bass after that one. Just what I mentioned. true true
