Into The Lair #47 - Creating LOUD tracks w/ EQ and Compression

[@jonq8714]

I am a hobbyist, so I struggle with a lot of this, but watching this guy work really makes me realize how little wisdom and knowledge I have when it comes to this art. It's humbling.

[@mrdebrahtube]

One thing I learned from Dave is, When playing around your instruments and mixes, its not what you know or how you see it. Its about what you hear and feel. Its not about sounding good. Its about sounding new

[@williamallen9635]

You are an incredible talent mate. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these tutorials. Hi from Sydney, Australia and thanks again.

[@frankyduks]

You are truly amazing Dave, having your knowledge available like this is simply amazing! you are an amazing man and mentor! thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

[@kennyglod7]

Outstanding!!! Again, wisdom and creativity makes him a great engineer!

[@kingdomenttv1378]

Loving the videos but I was wondering if you could do a episode on mixing 808's and how you would process them?

[@lagiator]

These videos are gold!

[@TrueFallacy]

Awesome-ness. Just what I needed, thank you!!

[@MegaMixking]

Great work Dave..

[@samuelvelhomusic]

Ozone is on Aux Master, after the Drum bus, and probably before the Master print.

[@mynameisfahrenheit]

You're a f*cking hero.

[@maxreaper25]

Love you. Thank you.

[@InstaHitMakers]

[@vasilioskarteros3329]

You're a legend. Thank you!

[@richyabel1]

This is super helpful Dave... thx

[@vluri258]

Watching in 2019 , this is gold !

I've heard there is a certain Pultec sound when boost and attenuation are cranked up at the same time, and I noticed on the parallel Puigtec he had both cranked on the low end of the kick. Was that intentional?

[@gizmoriderfulye8007]

Is he ever explained why there is always that sign that says CLOCK! there :D

[@shorthsht8906]

Hey Dave do you use a sub with your monitor set up? or strictly just near field monitors

[@dmv_p]

I think Dave has the highest Like to Dislike ratio! Keep up the good work Dave!!!

[@hazybrain7]

Cheers Dave !

[@offthewallstudio]

great videos! thanks for sharing your secrets!

[@NaikyPedraza]

Dope video!

[@JedidiahProductions]

So the Ozone is on the drums bus right? And thats before the master limiter?

[@ViniAndradeMusic]

The thing should be how to get your mix loud without raising your LUFS level so you could sneak into streams plataforms with a louder music without breaking in the LUFS limit.

[@tracktaylor2783]

Thank you man!

[@ja24]

Haha thanks man, I figured it out a few days ago!

[@AmpsforBuddha]

I'm mixing on Rokit 5s, and I'm pulling my hair out. Mr. Dave or someone here, would you recommend Avatone's Mix Cubes or the less expensive Yamaha's?

[@EriksonRudy]

anybody knows whats the clock/meter brands??? I saw this on barefoot studio eric valentine as well

[@aarvin1]

You can make mixes punch in the clubs and sound loud(pleasantly loud) and exciting, even on smaller systems, including ear-buds. 30 Hz won't even work in a club as those systems are hi-passed at 40Hz. For the moment believe in everything that he says, then after some time make your own experiments and you'll see things in a bit different way, hopefully :)

[@ja24]

Now, I wonder how I will achieve that in Ableton.

[@ja24]

And also listen to the tutorial with headphones.

[@bdlblob]

based dave thank you GENIUS!!!

[@aarvin1]

I can say it cause I have tried :) but you are of course free not to believe me, maybe try by yourself :) Mixing evolves through time and new techniques, new tricks are found to meet different mixing needs :) Take any pop track from billboard and compare with Sweet Disposition- (Axwell remix) , in a big PA system :) I have heard many high class american mixing engineers wonder how SOME OF the dance music mixers from europe, get such a punch and solid power in the sub frequencies.

[@natewilliams2426]

whats on bus 45

[@DjSadhu]

thnx

[@haui82]

5:07 Cheers, Dave :)

[@aarvin1]

Sorry Dave , the low end punch is not there ... might sound good on little laptops but if something must kick and punch in the club, in your house , on your laptop and sound exciting, this is definitely not the way to go.

[@queenpurple8433]

Hahahahahahahagaaggagagagagahhaahajahahahahshahahahahhaa

[@illestofdemall13]

All I can say is Mr. Pensado is known for his mixes and though you may not use the same method I don't think you can say his way won't work in the club. If that were the case, some pretty well known people in the music industry wouldn't specifically have him mix their records.

[@danielsmeyer]

Loudness is not 'low end punch,' mid-range is. Why? --> Nice demo, Dave. Love the concept of over-adding mids to compensate for 2-bus compression with an end focus on loudness. :) That BD is crazy loud. But I agree with you, sarvin, it's not for a club sound-system. Too bad most people don't have club sound-systems. :P I like 30 Hz BDs, but they suck out so much energy from a mix, that they then can't compete for loudness on ear-buds. Let's all stop using ear-buds. :)

[@boxroomstudio143]

Thank you!!!

[@jakobole]

Make new track (the bus). Set "external in" to "Not configured", and set the monitor-selector to "In" (and not "Auto") Select the tracks to be "bussed", set their output to the bus-track (and not "Master")

[@earshootersmed2627]

awesome with compressors!!!

[@ja24]

You could always chose other samples

[@Davlet]

CLOCK!

[@dayboyy24]

get majid jordan on the show!!!!
