Jaycen Joshua on creative drum mixing

[@dayman9432]

this guy is a wizard... the way he added transients back in to compensate for the gain reduction from compression, truly blew my mind !!

[@gd.4698]

Don't have clue what you are talking about but he really is a wizard

[@benjaminnims6513]

Isolating the transients with slow attack, hard compression and putting back only the top end is a genius idea.

[@splatsquatch3934]

pretty standard, shaperbox can be super helpful too to draw in a curve that allows you to hit a compressor if youre too squashed

[@ehzeeee]

[@REVOKEsounds]

bruh that creative use of the noise suppressor is making me rethink my whole existence

[@kylebostick2601]

Me too. I don’t like using that thing on things because it takes away some of the presence of the sound, but after seeing how he used it I’m gonna try using it creatively

[@axel.lessio]

"Sometimes wrong is right"... so true!

[@Darksagan]

I need to see this whole video. Every video I've seen on Jacyne hes dropping gems.

[@hueynewton1363]

I was so lost once he hit the transients and once it connected I was blown away

[@Ast3rixMusic]

Interesting adding that guitar distortion vst as a fl studio like sub enhancer. I need to play with my 808’s some more...

[@noname-ng6sj]

what on earth do you mean by "fl studio like sub enhancer"? You need to go back to basics if you use wording like that.

[@Ast3rixMusic]

@@noname-ng6sj Dude get a life… I think it was pretty clear… only you didn’t get it. Fl studio has a distinct distorted sound with its limiter/saturator. It really makes some 808 samples sound more wider or dirtier.

[@stevieflowers2754]

Definitely should play ✌🏻

[@Bati_]

Can anyone with more experience explain to me what he meant at 06:19 while saying that MV2 plug-in is basically "a front-to-back panner". How come it can affect depth? Thank you in advance!

[@ntcowing]

Front to back "depth" is controlled mainly by volume. He's very deliberately only adding volume to the focused transient information so that the perceived volume of that part is much bigger without clouding the mix with all the rest of the sonic information of that track. So when he brings the MV2 in low, and then slowing starts to raise up the volume to taste, he's basically dialing the "front to back" level. Adding the Decapitator and such is next level. It's all super subtle, but when you add up all of his high level, subtle moves, you get superb, Grammy winning records. Jaycen is a master at the craft for sure.

[@Bati_]

@@ntcowing What a wonderful comment, thanks a lot, Dave. You are absolutely right, these masters are distinguished with their taste.

[@allcapsbeats]

Could someone tell me the routing procedure of the transformer/transformer 2/louder sends? Would he be outputting those directly to his mix bus?

[@milestaylor8136]

Looks like they’re routed to the drum bus

[@allcapsbeats]

@@milestaylor8136 he's using them as send effects on the drum bus, but I'm wondering where he's outputting those aux channels.

[@milestaylor8136]

@@allcapsbeats I could be mistaken, as I’m not familiar with protools, but I think he’s sending the individual tracks to those returns so they’re processed in parallel. And then all of them, including the returns, are sent to the “ALL DRUMS” bus

[@allcapsbeats]

@@milestaylor8136 ahhhhh. Interesting. Damn, that's a whole lot of parallel. I'mma give it a try. Thanks! I suppose you have way more control over individual elements that way. Then all you have to do is mess with the fader on the returns to your liking.

There are levels to everything. To be a master, you must remain a student. You probably know a lot more than me and can do things that seem hard to me but probably come easy. I look at this and I think, I cant wait to get to this level.

It`s just the standard mixbus preset that the ssl bus comp is basically known for. Attack: slowest setting, Release: fastest setting. 4:1 ratio. It`s a setting that has been used forever by basically everyone.

Hey, that Tambor is actually real. It's called "tambor herreño", a very old percussion instrument from the Canary Islands, where El Guincho (the producer) is from. It's the glue to the song and the best part with Rosalía's vocals.
