I will look at all the plugins Jaycen joshua uses to mix hip hop drums. I will reveal jaycen joshuas mix template he uses for major hiphop aritists like gunna, dababy, bts,

[@FazeTanna]

George T man... you don't understand how important you've become to the community. Keep doing your thing bro.

[@robheskin]

Totally

[@baxonbeatscookin]

Completly agree

Facts

[@MrLeggo101]

pray for george - they gone be comin !

[@tilda140]

Jaycen if you're reading, give this kid an interview! He deserves it!

[@aherbs86]

George you're an amazing human being. Thank you for everything you've done and all that you continue to do.

[@robertodagostini4946]

I’m producing my first album and I came across your Jayden Joshua videos and I bought the God particle and spectre right away. And then even after that your videos did such a good job explaining I set even more time aside because you made this shit seem cool like mixing basics. I owe a good portion of my progression to you. Thanks man.

[@georgetmusic]

To Clarify he only sends the kick and snare through this processing. Hi hats and other percs go to the to hi end percs aux. also the nls buss is 2b idk why I said 7 😅

[@carlosp.1846]

Not sure it would work for everyone, for house music you send kick and bass to a buss separated from snare/hihats/percs

[@KashMeng_Engineer]

I'm still confused why he pans the right side to 86. Does NLS Buss cause phase shift?

[@aoss28]

So, u said that all this processing in video only for a kick and snare, right?

[@gaboonschoolofmusic9848]

People can watch these all day for inspiration but if you don't garner your own skills.. this will not fully come full circle.......there are no short cuts ...one must put the work in at all times

[@user-is9pl4np7v]

I luv your channel bro. Keep up the good work man we appreciate the time you put into these videos

[@anthonycruz9238]

This is gold dude! You're the Sherlock Holmes of mixing techniques. Absolute legend 🤟

[@ndubwou]

Jesus Christ. I jus found your channel like not too long ago & bro the amount of value in your videos is unmatched. Thank you. keep doin what you're doin G blessup 🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥❤ GOAT fr

[@AlasMusic-in]

great video, been obsessed with jaycen's mixing techniques for more than a year now, made notes and everythinng, he kept on changing his mix template or alter a few things, when he mixed 'Malamente' by Rosalía, he was running all of his drums and 808s through a single drum bus with those eight instances of nls along with rbass,sdh and blackbox, then on the next workshop, he was using separate buses with nls for 808s, he stated that this gave him more control over his 808, plus there used to be rcompressor in his 808s bus to control the envelope further more, he was no longer running his hi percs through the drum bus, only kick and snares, thats how he has much more control over those elements, also he uses low shelf and high shelf combination of eq around 1-1.5k to take out the weight added by 8 instances of nls

[@unityinfusionmedia9102]

Ive seen the episode. Its always been through seperate aux tracks the Nls are just routed as master buses ( C drum M ) - the M stands for master but are used as a Master parallel bus to the original ( C drums ) which is no different from a normal bus..... which is used for parallel compression. Its just mixed into the orginal ( C drum ) which is mixed separately and blended. Thats why 1 bus is done to 0dbs and another will be -1dbs or lower. Each seperate drum sample is also proccessed which goes into the ( C drums ) then to all drum bus. Best level of thinking cause if you over do the effects or screw a sample up. You are able to sort it out at any stage. Jaycen Joshua template is like a ribbed and dotted condom. Gives all the excitement with a saftey neck.

[@joecm]

This was great, thanks George. Glad to see you setting up a way to make this more sustainable for yourself too

[@richeymcc]

Amazing amazing work compiling all this George!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@oldkmbeats]

Many blessings to your life and career brodie, learned so much from your content!

[@jzg7890]

Great video once again! One thing you forgot to mention is that he uses the soft clip saturator around 7-9%

[@RipleySterling]

I was at a talk he gave about mixing drums and bass, he's using soothe 2 to sidechain the kick to the bass for more clarity. He was doing like a full 15db of reduction, fastest attack and release, 100% wet.

[@rizzyinstrumentals]

love your passion and i love the way your quality is improoving i see you george. Much Love from Germany

[@georgetmusic]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@LeoDaShaman]

The trim is down -2db on the 7th NLS. Great vid always T 👌🏾

[@Holysci22]

sheesh- this some advanced stuff here. very in-depth look. ty bro

[@spacejack6145]

The GOAT strikes again with his god like knowledge spreading. Bruh. Thank You so much

[@cameroncho]

Best channel for mixing and mastering!

[@Witcher6666]

Thank you for your work! I can guarantee, that if you ever do a video explaing the routing and how to emulate this in other daws you will go viral.

[@luroque]

My guess for the mysterious "SUBWOOFER" aux : a simple bandpass tuned to the fundamental frequency of the kick or bass - for the bass, you'd need to automate the fq to stay in tune Dan Worall made a great video about this technic. Tony Hoffer used this technic too in his mix for M83, with a resonnant lowpass (moogerfooger LP) to give that "oomph" to the the 606 kick.

[@luroque]

I forgot to say thank you for your videos, great content !!

[@deusbeatsgroovetemple3882]

Oh my God (particle), this is amazing content!

[@PerceptiveAudio]

Big up George T! A hero amongst men

[@thomastellem]

Great video as always man!

[@radiantjumper]

Is it possible to show the map of the aux buses how they would be routed in another DAW like in Logic for example like which aux bus goes into which?

[@Anci3ntRobot]

exactly Im confused cause I dont use pro tools

[@breezyoakk]

another thing that hasn't been mentioned yet - he uses the sidechain on the Shadow Hills

[@lucasmirovski1003]

Amazing video, thx George!

[@jjeremyhaze]

Big Brain video George Thank you!

[@thomasbrereton4472]

Thank you George 🙌

[@prodbyowls]

insane work G!! Tnx!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcito12345]

great video as always dude! I researched the same stuff just last week the timing is crazyy Also no offense or anything, but i think at 4:34 the trim is down like 2db, not 7

[@georgetmusic]

It is I just said 7 for some reason

[@djfreerman]

If you made templates for ableton man I'd for sure pay good money for it!!! Appreciate the videos you're a legend

[@craigerwin4007]

@George thanks for this vid! Do you have any video showing how much Jaycen crushes his kick with the MV2 on his parallel? Thanks

[@Barncore]

You sir... are a god send

[@robheskin]

Keep going man!

[@ryanlehrman9015]

Amazing bro

[@djvoid1]

As bizarre as the '8 instances of NLS in series' thing is, it does kind of reveal a bit of what's going on under the hood for that plugin. It feels like a smile curve eq, plus some extra sustain in the low end and subtle saturation.

[@AlasMusic-in]

those 8 instances does wonders to the drums if you put on right levels, been using it on drums on my beats, but stopped using it since last couple of beats as it puts alot of pressure on my potato cpu

[@andiherzog]

Great video, thanks for this! Incredibly useful info. A note: At 4:33 you say to put the trim down 7 db, but I think you meant -1.7 db. That's what the knob setting is looking like.

[@georgetmusic]

Yes I made the mistake it’s supposed to be 2

[@Griuofficial]

Thanks a lot for the video🤝

[@prodbycactusjoe]

You The Man!!! 💯

[@terenceblack3724]

Do you think that using the Lindell 80 Series channel strip with random TMT on each track in the Drum Bus and on the Drum Bus itself is similar to using the NLS that way it is used in this video?

[@shaharkarp4357]

George T you are a good man

[@LoganPrescott]

great content man! is there any way you can balance your audio? your narration mic is about 10db quieter than average YT volume, and the livestream/IG vids you use are just as quiet. and then you'll have a video clip come in and blow up my speakers at 10-15db louder. thanks dude!

[@TwinParksBX]

@GeorgeTMusic we need this template for other daws like logic, studio one and Fl studio

[@KingKasper]

GEORGE YOURE A BEAST BROTHER

[@georgetmusic]

Thank you !

[@wonjinlee7882]

yo thanks so much george. appreciate the sauce bro

[@georgetmusic]

Any time!

[@joeyf808]

Thanks George! Any word on his new Orion plugin?

[@ignorezbeatsg]

So im not using pro tools so can you or anyone explain the exact signal flow. I kinda got confused where the signalr starts and where it goes after. does everything come in into the NLS BUS Channel or is that at the end. etc. Would aprewciated

[@Gaatouya]

Protect George T at all cost !!

[@rizzyinstrumentals]

George you are the GOAT

[@georgetmusic]

🙌

[@johnathanbeats]

cool! I feel a little better about my drum mix. I use 3 sends sometimes 4.

[@SwimnBird]

For the Sub channel, is that running in parallel from the ORIGINAl dry signal of the Kick and Snare before going into the NLS bus? Or parallel post NLS bus?

[@MagicCvstle]

Thanks for the vid George T! So only the kick and snare go through the NLS bus (DRUMS M) and then into C DRUMS? Hats and percs go through a diff AUX?

[@georgetmusic]

Yes they go through hi end percs which goes straight to all drums

[@sendmewavdanny2429]

What the final gain after all the process of the drums ?

[@legacybge]

Do you have a drum template for windows users? Not really sure how to open the file after unzipping

[@EudoxeP]

Quick question Does JJ gain stage by changing auxs send volume, or by sending at zero db and pull the aux track volume back ? Thanks for your work man 👍🙏🫶

[@akasiixxyoungtaliban3322]

Do you now gain staging is Not only about the aux ?

[@Anci3ntRobot]

so are these auxes like a send which he sends each drum with a different percentage ? or what

[@SwimnBird]

Quality video

[@edoson_808]

George T....got DANG....KABOOOOOM!

[@brokbeatz]

George and guys I just want to understand, if we think in Ableton aux is group bus not sends right? He is using nls and c drums as bus group not sends or return? (Thanks for your all videos bro)

[@maxgreen4535]

everything except the transformers are groups. the transformers can be made in a effect rack where you can blend it with the og signals

[@Yungnicholas]

what instruments are on the drums buss? kick , snare , hi hats? open hats? perc? also does he process the drums individually first? or after the drum buss

[@chrisdavis9334]

only thing i found close to the heat setting for all my none protools users is the soft tube console 1 using the 9000j emulation put the drive on 3.5 and the charter on 6 thank me later

[@stevetypebeats6493]

Haha nice definitely did ur research 🙌🏻

[@TheRealBabyHawk]

Could you possibly go into depth about the routing for all of this. From signal to six, to buss. All the way through

[@SuperFake777]

GOAT

[@manv_world]

George Teeee🙏🏽

[@gabrieltierney981]

Is the drum mixing teplate part of the ultimate effects template below? The old link is dead and I don't see the drum mixing templated as part of the bundle of templates there.

[@kiidz760]

been trying to use this for a while but I don't have the shadow hills so I just usually have to stay away

[@J0lyD3ath]

i have a question, i don use prootols how you make the chain, i mean every chanel like all drums and c drums and drum and bass you root all your drums into a channel that is all drums next you root thta all drums channel to C drums and like that ? or you just are adding the effects to the channel like you like a parallel compression ? i dont know if i am clear

[@vycashh]

that information is needed, no one explains it

[@prodyoshi01]

🔥🔥🔥

[@blackears2245]

INSTANT SUB ❤🏄🏿‍♂

[@oldmanstones3448]

is the template still available? link doesn't seem to be working for me. thanks!

[@thejudgejuror2547]

Engineers don’t get the respect they truly deserve. I can create great music but I can’t mix good.

[@RealHomeRecording]

Thank you! Just the same I am not good at creating music, but sure can make it sound better!

[@alvarezgamers]

I have your same problem. I can produce my ass off, but I hate mixing.....And so bad at it lol

[@Dellidell10]

As an ableton user, I'm confused about the routing. Aux is essentially a send and return track, right? So the NLS aux (C Drums M) is also paralleled, returning it's signal back to C Drums or to the 2-bus?

[@KashMeng_Engineer]

C Drums M is before the signal comes into the C Drums Bus

[@maxgreen4535]

just make a group with the nls and then group that group again and make c drums

[@AvinashKumar-hw2us]

Is the bass included in the drum bus in his template?

[@tsaomarcus7484]

Maybe a dumb question. After the C Drum go to Drum n bass, what is the output for Dum n bass aux?

[@vycashh]

ALL DRUMS

[@danthegeetarman]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shadowkyd]

amazo.

[@Indigo_Jams]

I'm a gear freak but the first few seconds of these made me go: this dude is a gear ninja wtf? freezing frame over some blurry knobs damnnn

[@Indigo_Jams]

I actually have a NLS bus preset I made after watching that same stream but I never use it, when I do it's on parallel. I didn't piece it all together like you did here damn man you really doing a work for the community. It's pretty complex though. Don't know if it's worth it, have you given it a try for your stuff?

[@reveilmusic3741]

Was looking forward to grabbing the mix template you provided. It won’t send to me…

[@36mg66]

How can I set this up in ableton

[@OTea]

Amazing content! Please can you break down that panning part at 5:23 in the comments? I didn’t quite get it. I’m Trying to experiment with the technique in studio one.

[@SuperMax_____0.0_____]

I didnt quite get it, maybe someone can share it with us

[@shitpains]

@@SuperMax_____0.0_____ @OTea The NLS spreads things across the stereo image, almost randomly, so you have to meddle with the pan to get it back to the middle.

[@SwimnBird]

@@shitpains Well, not to get it back 'in the middle', but rather to get the left and right channels matching with their output because his drums are stereo.

[@lengout2535]

Does anybody know how hard he hits the first NLS Buss? The amount of gain staging is pretty important to the sound of the saturation

[@breezyoakk]

good question. i think last time i mixed with his template about 0VU sounded good. could have been +1 VU, just try

[@vycashh]

@@breezyoakk 0 VU = -18dbs ???

[@ProdGreener]

anther thing to add might be how he uses it. Does all the drums go trough the c drums? Or it is just kick and snare?

[@georgetmusic]

Dang I forgot about this completely 🤦‍♂️. Yes it’s just kick and snare

[@ykoshanks]

How can I translate this template to FL Studio?

[@notsobeit]

That was fucking nuts

[@bluematrix5001]

wow Jaycen gained lots ofweight

[@LyonGeezyTV]

✨

[@bigloxxito]

Fun fact, the NLS is not a technique from from Jaycen Joshua, its a thechnique from Steve who mix for Mike Will, when Jaycen receive a session from him he just let this track with full NLS then he deleted it and realised that the drums was suddendly wack , so he keep it in a aux track, but the first time he saw that NLS technique I thinked that it was a mistake lol...

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

What about the density setting on the Blackbox? One of the key features that completely changes how it sounds

[@georgetmusic]

Whatever it defaults too. When in doubt tho just experiment to see what sounds good

[@3mpathy717]

so only the kick and snare goes through the nls processing ? and what about the 808/bass?

[@maxgreen4535]

it has its own group with the same nls:s and then similair to the drum c processing but turn off the compression in shadow hills and use rcomp instead for the comping after the shadow hills

[@exposingyouthetruth6443]

How do i open the template in ableton?

[@JayVibez00]

You should do playpicaso next vocals

[@veryzon8292]

The link no longer works :((((. Could you please repost it 🙏

[@surfingandy1577]

wish there was a ableton template for this

[@maxgreen4535]

just make a kick/snare group with the nls, then group that and add the c drums. do the same for the 808 and or bass. group those together to the drum n bass bus with the clipper on, then group all your percs, then group all of those to "all drums". i use a plugin called HOFA 4U meter/pan to do the same panning on the c drums and boom c group

[@NickScottProducer]

Is there supposed to be a super massive sub when I stack the NLS plugins upon the first hit?

[@stevetypebeats6493]

You might have to clarify what you mean a bit

[@ProdByAV_YT]

I hope there’s an FLP in there 😭. I understand how 50% things work in protools but it’ll suck if I have to recreate it from scratch 😭😭

[@itzz_dna1481]

Its maybe a weird question but what monitor do you have? That pro tools is looking sexy xD

[@georgetmusic]

I’m just using QuickTime player to screen record 2019 MacBook Pro

[@benavanzato5127]

hey the drum mixing template link doesnt work
