how to mix & master lofi beats (playlist worthy mixes)

[@TheToneWork]

Best part of the video... "If you're a professional and you think I'm an idiot, take one of these." I'm a professional. I've worked in studios for 30 years. You're fine. Everybody has their own way and your way works just fine for you. Keep doing it and sharing. TY

[@DASBOTSCH]

Thanks bro! ❤️ cheers from Cali

[@okcreama]

dude has the most lofi sounding voice ive ever heard

[@aetherkat]

Ahaha, that finger at the end This is lofi, and I just keep telling myself, "Don't overthink it, it's just music. Just enjoy making it." These are really good tips to keep me in that mental lane. I guess I want to add, I was watching a thing about Prince's work ethic the other day, and my god, he was a finisher. That's all I want for myself, too: just catch that raw, unrefined vibe of making Lofi for myself I just wanna turn my brain off, turn my heart on, finish my tracks and move on ❤ Thanks so much, L Dre!

[@fvsh_music]

I love the way you explain things, straight to the point and simple to understand

[@Bad4Good2]

In Gullfoss, recover brings sounds that are being dominated by other sounds forward in the mix, tame pushes dominate sounds further back into the mix.

[@prodbystk]

The people ask and L.Dre deliver. Good shit bro. Bless up.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Have to 🙏🏾

I love your honesty. "I dont know what this means " i don't know if you add/remove 50hz or whatever..." It helped

[@nicolasnicolas3889]

I always come back to this video when my head is getting complicated, I'm just learning and watching different vids on how to apply effects and mix, love the simplicity, simple is best, thanks buddy! ;D

[@SedyyBeats]

smth about how this video was edited is just 😍

[@chrismerrell816]

Love the tutorial bro! You should try something.. Send all your melodies into a single bus. Create a drum bus, and side chain the drum bus with the melody bus. Also, if you have a reverb send, route the reverb to the melody bus. I do this all the time and it gives tons of head room for drums and melody reverb without anything clashing. Also helps the drums sound a lot more clear :)

[@Johnhasa1]

Cool. I'll try that.

[@EV-47]

I’ll try the snare trick. Thanks again for the gems! ✨

The difference is in the impact of the low and hi end material. After spending two weeks making Drill or Trap going straight into a lofi mix wiill sound confusing at first. 😂 always remember to recalibrate your brain. Lofi hits soft with lots of depth (and tape emus) Tips; kick loudest element Snare high cut matched with low mid energy Hats quieter than percs No 808 basses Play space like an instrument

what about your export settings? 44.1 @ 16bit? do you run your session at 48/32bit then dither down? if so what dither option do you use in ableton!

Love the vid man👌 The biggest problem I find is that when I’m mixing/ attempting to master, the track sounds fine in my headphones but as soon as I export and play it in earphones or my car it sounds kind of muddy and pretty much the whole track sounds so unbalanced. I can never pin point the problem so looking for any advice😁
