How To Mix (part 2): Getting The LEVELS Right

In this mixing tutorial you will learn how to mix a song in FL Studio in order to get the levels right. You will learn how to get the volume right of every individual element in your song in relation to each other and how to get a balanced mix.
In this example we're mixing a trance track, but the same techniques applies to most EDM. You can look at this as a basic starting point. Various genres will favor different elements in the mix, and will therefore require you to mix somewhat differently.
This is part two of my "how to mix" series. Make sure to check out the other videos as well if you want to learn how to mix in fl Studio.
Note: When you EQ a sound you will alter it's intensity. This will affect how you adjust it's volume. Like wise, the volume of any given sound will dictate how you EQ it. This means that you will have to go back and forwards in order to get the levels right.
Make sure to check out my mixing and mastering playlist if you want to know more about how to mix a song.

FireWalk Hi its me once again i have serious problem with Mixer Levels Volume,i hoppe U help me with a tutorial.

[@nielsen5730]

hey man! i have a question, in your gain staging video you said that none of the plugins should exceed -15, but then I get here and the sub is at -13, is it that the sub is an exception or something else? i just have that boubt thank you I love how you explain!

[@FireWalkMusic]

@@nielsen5730 Hi, sorry for the late reply. There are no exact levels. You might want to aim for -15 or -8.. It doesn't really matter, the only thing that really matters is that you don't clip. As you keep adding more channels, you might end up going above 0 dB on the master channel, so keeping the levels quiet is generally better than keeping them too loud. But let's say you gain stage everything to -8 dB and you end up going above 0 dB on the master when you have lots of channels. You can then simply turn down the faders, so again, there's no harm done. :)

[@francestan186]

Hey man I would like to say thanks for the valley fill method, that really helped me so much! 👍 This tutorial is much better than a cheat sheet.

[@EnergyDubz410]

I don’t know if you check the comments, but I’m watching this seven years later multiple times a day and it does help me. I don’t really know what I’m doing but I really enjoy making dubstep music and you’re tutorials have been the cleanest, most precise tutorials on youtube that make the most sense to me even with learning disability’s. Your tutorials are straight to the point exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

[@kungfublob5951]

I've just started learning mixing and your tutorials are so easy to pick up on. I promise you, when I make it big, I will give you a million dollars.

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks! That could come in handy! :D

[@assi4you]

If you`re reading this and want to start mixing yourself from Zero - THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE for you ! Mannn.... i`ve been seeking for weeks now some basic mixing explanations. Half were so technical and others were very precise to actual track with no understanding of what is mixing and how should it be done for beginners. I watched this video this morning on my way to work and wow. this is it. finally got to understand it. Much appreciated. Thank you so much man (don`t know your name...but thanks :))

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks! Much appreciated. Glad you found it useful :)

[@Foxy_James]

Man, I think the note at 11:36 is possibly the most important note in this entire series for me. I’ve spent so long in a personal mental loop thinking on the one hand “never solo thing outside of the mix because the levels will need adjusting after” and other other hand “adjust levels before the mix and EQ after” but I think the correct answer is levels first, EQ, mix, levels, EQ, mix etc. but always levels/ gain-staying first! Thank you so much!

[@Ardefisty]

I've only seen part 1 and 2 and my mind is already blown away. There's so much to learn just by seeing you keep the levels at -6 AT MOST. No wonder I get ear fatigued after a single session lmao

[@FireWalkMusic]

Glad you found it helpful! :)

[@silvernox4908]

To be completely honest... i studied music production at a private school and paid a shi* load of money for it, but these KZbin tutorials from FireWalk are like a hundred times clearer explained and better structured than my shitty school :D Anyway... I'm really happy that i've found these tutorials and i highly recommend them over a 16k€ education. They're for free and really really good. Like, subscribe and thank this man, guys!

[@FireWalkMusic]

You're welcome! I really hope you make it then! 😁😛

[@EminoMeneko]

Mixing is definitely one of the new things I need to learn. I have a track I'm working on and I tried to mix it by ear but it seems that my personal decisions while mixing are not so good. I learnt about LUFS metering and decided I'll go through all my tracks and make sure they all reach about the same levels in LUFS and maybe one will say this is not a good method but it helped a lot. Mixing and mastering are very complex yet captivating subjects. Thank you for this tutorial. So to summarize Gain staging at any dB (per video it was what -12, 16, 18 I don't remember watched in several times ^^') Setting the kick a bit louder per video -8dB Setting the subbass 3 to 10dB lower than the kick Putting the Hat at same level as Kick This should form a valley Basically making the rest fit in between so that the end result looks smooth in the spectrogram.

[@MaxBraiman]

Just found your channel, cool stuff man. Glad to see another youtuber making trance tutorials. keep it up

[@FireWalkMusic]

Hey Max! Thanks a lot! That means a lot coming from you. I'mm a huge trance fan myself. I fell in love with the sound instantly, as it evolved from the late 90's. I have watched most of your videos and they are truly awesome! Your channel is probably the best place to check out for aspiring trance producers I would say. :)

Your channel is going to change my life !!!

[@SAZIZMUSIC]

'This channel is all about quality. We're not here to waste anyone's time. We realized early on that music producers wan't to make music first and foremost. When they finally do go to KZbin it's because they need to know something, and then get back to making music. If that sounds familiar, then this is the channel for you' 100% agree and that's why i tell my friends to use FL and look no where else but Firewalk for tutorial.

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thank you! Very much appreciated! We're a very small Channel still. We spend a lot of time on every single video, which is why it takes so long to get videos out. We're only able to release a couple of videos each month, but unlike some other channels we just don't just record videos on the fly and upload several times a week, we script and produce every single video methodically in order to get it as short, simple and valuable as possible. By sharing the videos with others you help us a lot, and for that we are grateful! Thank you :)

[@SAZIZMUSIC]

@@FireWalkMusic Yes that is the best thing about team FIREWALK that you guys don't compromise on quality. That is the main reason i have a lot of respect for this channel. This channel will surely grow. It kind of makes me sad to see such a good channel is yet to reach it's deserving level of subscribers, especially considering the value it provides to independent musicians and producers like us and for that i thank you guys from my heart. 😊

[@abishekraju8787]

@@FireWalkMusic 31k subs ain't that small in my opinion :P

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks, glad to hear that you find the content useful, and we'll try to make more frequent uploads in the year to come :)

[@FireWalkMusic]

I suppose not :D The reason we grow slowly is because we upload max 1 video pr week. The major problem for us is that our videos are rather short. We always try to make it as short and to the point as possible. Unfortunately the algorithm is punishing us for doing that, and our videos are not recommended or boosted so much. KZbin favors channels that upload many times a week, and it also favors longer videos that keep people on the platform longer. Watch time is everything. Videos that's more than 10 minutes long can have more than one ad, which means more revenue and more watch time overall. The longer a video can keep the viewer on the platform, the better. This is the reason why so many KZbinrs purposefully drag out the time in order to make their videos longer. They start talking about their life, their dog or whatever.. We don't do that. As I've said many times before: We're not here to waste anyone's time, so we're going to keep making short and straight to the point videos. To hell with the algorithm :p

[@nicolausthothmes2325]

Video after video on youtube has just been a bunch of people teaching stuff that they dont even understand the principles behind. Its taken me 3 days to find someone that can teach this stuff effectively and thoroughly. I was about to quit and find a job. Superb content firewalk.

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful. This was actually the whole reason I started making these videos in the first place. A friend of mine was having the exact same problem you just described, so I decided to start making short, simple and straight to the point videos with no babling about my life etc. People (producers) just want to know whatever they need to know as quickly as possible, and then get back to producing. :)

[@hambakaTV]

It's good to note that depending on the size and shape of your room, it may cause certain frequencies (also referred to as room modes) to be perceived as louder. It's possible to graph a frequency analysis of your mixing space using REW (Room EQ Wizard) by using a sweeping tone and a microphone with a relatively flat frequency response. This can help you become aware of problematic frequencies in your space, and mix around them. Nothing will beat a space made specifically for mixing, but having an awareness of your environment and using your ears can help achieve a decent mix in any environment.

[@projectanigma]

Sounds very helpful! I know what to do rather than playing the mixer levels for no reason!

[@FireWalkMusic]

You're welcome. While gain staging isn't always needed (if you know what you're doing) it sure can be helpful when it comes to getting a balanced mix. I find that if you start with for example your kick at a certain level, and you know that the kick is going to be the most powerful element in your mix, you can just leave it at that level, and then use it to center everything else around it. Just make sure to never adjust the kick volume if you go that route though. :)

[@projectanigma]

@@FireWalkMusic How about compression?

[@FireWalkMusic]

@@projectanigma For the kick? That depends on the kick and the mix. You shouldn't compress a kick just to compress it. There has to be a certain reason for it. What many people fail to realize is that most kicks from quality sample packs are already compressed and processed, so they should be ready to use with just minimal tweaking in terms of EQ and such.

[@projectanigma]

@@FireWalkMusic Yes, less is more! Thank you!

[@DidoInFlames]

[@bencollyer39]

in gain staging you say to set everything so that it hits between -10 -15 and then reset the mixers, but that means there is very little room to increase the mix faders

[@FireWalkMusic]

Hey. I recommend using a limiter on the master to push the volume back up after gain staging. That way you can give yourself some more volume while wokring. After setting all the synths to the same level, you can start pulling mixer faders down. You typically don't want everything to stay at the same volume. Some things such as the leads will be very loud and up front, but other things will be more in the backround and much quieter. When a mixer fader is set to the standard position, that should really be the loudest thing in the mix. That said, it's no problem to use another setting if you'd like. if you want to set all the faders at 50% for example, that's fine too, and will have no effect on the gain staging. :)

[@lukewheatley3070]

Exactly... wtf

Great tutorial! That animation in the background with the monitors, headphones and the car sums up my life perfectly! I can never get my mix to sound good everywhere! :\

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks! This is a classic dilemma. There are so many different sound systems out there from very low end to high end, and they all reproduce music very differently. Getting it to sound good on all of them is impossible. You can get it to sound acceptable on most of them if you do it right though, but it's hard.. My best advice is to check your mix on various systems often. Test it in your car, on earbuds, small Bluetooth speakers, on your cell phone, on your home stereo etc and then make adjustments accordingly. This is how I do it. It takes a lot of time but its worth it in the end. :)

Thanks! :) Good suggestion. I'll put it on my list :)

I would like you to do a video on how to use reverb in the mix. Particularly in relation to giving the individual instruments their own room.

I will include this in my "how to mix" series. :)

FireWalk Great thanks a lot! I look forward to it and part 4 of how to mix.
