It's ALL About The MIXDOWN!

[@achillesmusicoz]

The secret to a great production, is a great song. The secret to a great mixdown, is a great production. The secret to a great master, is a great mixdown.

[@brianm2022]

What is difference between producing and mixing? lol

[@noname52768]

@@brianm2022mixing is the levels and clarity. Very low creativity. The production is the actual arrangement and making of the track.

[@bascurtiz]

This is such a welcome down-to-earth approach. So many nowadays seem to focus on limiters and stuff just... to make it louder. While in fact, it's about conscious decisions to be made. To put emphasis on those elements, you as the producer want to make stand out!

[@jb123abc]

please more vlogs like these !

[@aaronbazil]

This tutorial is so simple but HUUUUUGE in my arsenal from now on, wow! I was watching this, pausing, and going back to some of my tracks and hearing what I need to fix, and keep in mind in the future for my productions. Now that I have a framework to work around. Thank you so much, Luke!

[@R-C.]

Thank you sir.

[@UrbanLikwid]

Man wish I had this blog back in the day to visual what the first 50 pages of the LBL Forum was talking about. I feel like the first hundred pages of the Forum kept addressing this topic but as a newbie I could never in-vision it. This really gives you a visual on those pages. By the way who the hell is BLVD?

[@meis18mofo77]

it's actually funny how usefull this was, I can use limiters, clippers, compressors, fancy stereo enhancers, mid-side dynamic eq 'n shit, but what really makes me sweat is still the balancing. People see it as so self evident that they usually don't make any tutorials on it.

[@Cr4mirex]

Really great video

[@jonathandufour6153]

Great tips for house music and etc… people need to understand an EDM mixdown is very genre specific.

[@LeftCat]

Yes. I see a lot of mixing tutorials from engineers that work with rock or pop, and their advice just doesn't work for a lot of electronic music. They tend to focus on tones of instruments or voice, and the final mix is much lower in LUFS and higher dynamic range.

[@Junior-Kyla]

Very simple instructions, thanks!

Ik weet niet hoe het met de rest van je kijkers zit maar ik heb deze vlogs het liefst! Soort 2.0 versie van je forum. Heb daar altijd veel tips en tricks uit kunnen halen. Tof in ieder geval om te zien dat je nog steeds bezig bent. WE CAN NOT GET ENOUGH! ❤️

[@RogerRobert.10]

Why do you go for the sharp slope over the rounded one while clipping?

[@PZWAS]

Sharp slope (hard clipping) cuts off the tops. Rounded slope (soft clipping) cuts of and rounds the edges. This affects the way each one sounds.

[@fridayborn75]

This very helpful. My last mix and master was rubbish. I see you don't use a reference track. Is that because you just rely more on your ears for the sound? Plus more tutorials please and thanks😊

[@MichaelAnthony_ofc]

Epic video Luke. Thanks for the knowledge!

[@DamianSofficial]

One of my best teachers! 🙌

[@blackoutkiller]

I'm sure you already have Friday's vid already made. But would love to hear about how Kong became a thing on Revealed with Carta, and where it all started. Awesome to see you back on Revealed!

[@REEWIL]

kick and sub need to be fighting with each other or kick and mid bass' ?

[@connorstones4181]

I think by 'fighting' he means one is winning...... like the kick is taking down the bass. But they shouldn't clash together tho either you heavily sidechain the bass or shorten the kick and smoothly sidechain the bass (imo)

[@Yourtrainer08]

Excellent!

[@igordrm]

Thanks, Luke!

[@vividvice]

So putting a Limiter on every track to tame the peaks? 🤔

[@davidlanderos3963]

I would suggest doing it on every bus/group in combination with a clipper

[@woutervandam1645]

dank je, goeie uitleg!

[@caiovieira3139]

I must say his new track is fireeee, I played it with my sub and got blown away. Imagine playing it in a big system 🔊🔊🔊

[@prodbygoyuu9869]

Damn the track is really good, also thank you for those tips!

[@Taahm1909]

This is GOLD!!!!

[@Me25948]

i see lots of videos of people mixing so close to 0db but im confused because i thought you’re supposed to leave around -6db of headroom before mastering?

[@xnervemusic]

You can pull down the master Fader to -6DB until and unless the elements are not clipping in the mixer ;)

[@Vibesformusic]

Cielo is f KING 🕺

[@GrenOulio]

Interesting that you have 2 forms of the kick on alternate beats.

🔥🔥🔥dope info!

[@soundcore183]

Rather disappointed m/s saturation and harmonic distortion wasn't shown in some examples except on the clipper part. I know it is more an artistic choice like poking some elements in the mix. the content itself is awesome thumbs up - would like to hear some reference to hardwell too. I guess the main thing is focusing on the kick and leveling everything around. And with volume shaping / lfo tool this is finished of really quick (even the kick isn't right, it will still poke and sound good). The clip is mainly teasing some techniques but showing the real important and driving ones.

[@rodneyc3202]

Fr though, mixdowns just kill me especially when u get into really heavy complex genres

[@VoltrekMusic]

I struggle a lot with this. Thanks for the Video Luke! Love the new Cielo track!

[@iskndrtalibov4077]

Everyone want to be like The Prodigy😂😂😂. Ok. I use Distressor in the master channel and Limiter. Always compare with mix . This volume fit or not. Using balance in the mast channel not good idea,cuz you not hear, which sound high ,loud,or not. Actually, Different genres want different production level. This one is what you're doing. , but take some points from professionals Thx L.L Good Luck for everyone✌️💻🎛️

I cannot take him seriously when he mixes his songs with Beats LOL 😂

[@omarw007]

I one case it is actually smart. Most ppl listning to your music are also using beats or air pods etc. So no need to mix your music on the highest grade IEM or speakers when ppl will not be listning with that to hear and apreciate all the small things you master.

[@drifter402]

@@omarw007 no that's how you get a mix that only sounds good on one thing I reckon. Testing on something like beats makes sense to me but doing a majority of the mix on them I wouldn't do myself

[@jan_777]

I cannot take you seriously when you haven't seen his "Which headphone should I use"-video. There he explains which plug in he uses to be able to mix on a bunch of headphone, despite them not being high end for it.
