How To Mix Beats PERFECTLY Like Platinum Producers | FL Studio Mixing Tutorial

[@DrellOnTheTrack]

Fl studio runs from the Chanel rack to the plugin to the mixer. Digital is just like analog -18 so turning down the volume in the the instruments are still going into the plugins to hot. That’s how it’s routed

[@LegacyBeats]

gochu

[@yungdevotion]

Yes that’s what i thought, this doesn’t make sense since you have to gainstage first. Sending a kick into the mixer above 0db is gone fuck ya up.

[@florizi_wethu]

I tried your method and it really works!

[@LegacyBeats]

Glad you like it!

Love the way you explained I have learned something

[@johawnn]

i dont know how i feel about the drum samples you picked but i understood the assignment sir! nice vid man

[@LegacyBeats]

Thanks! What didn't you like about them? They were fairly crisp samples

[@johawnn]

@@LegacyBeats they just sound like drums i used when i first started is all. Theyre just thin and not fitting into the mix very well

[@LegacyBeats]

Idk they are hitting pretty hard. This beat is designed to have vocals on it though, so the beat isn't taking up 100% of the audio space. If it was a trap beat to be released on it's own, it would have hard drums and 808s because there is no need to leave space for vocals@@johawnn

[@jamovfx]

@@LegacyBeats unfortunately I think he's right. These are low quality drums, especially the clap. The tutorial is good and valuable tho

[@pdkfkdlfkf]

Definitely helped me understand more. Im always doubting my mixes but this was clear cut info. I also noticed you didnt use compression as much. Impressive.

[@LegacyBeats]

Thanks. Glad this helped you!

[@SamiDaComposer]

Cuz u shouldn’t Michael Jackson’s mixing engineer said he barley uses compressor if u know how to get the recording or instrument right with volume and it’s tru I’ve made beats without using compressor plus I hate compressor

[@LegacyBeats]

💯

[@zaa-flips-it]

Great tutorial. I feel like my biggest weakness is 808s. I know sound selection is important and I've at least fixed that problem but I still can't place them correctly. everything else ive gotten better at execpt 808s😂...its goofy as shit and i don't understand

[@LegacyBeats]

Yeah making a baseline can be difficult. I always look at the melody, and usually follow the lowest note on the melody. I tend to try and follow the note that’s the closest to C5 as that tends to sound the best. Watch my other vids about drums to learn more!

[@drakehasbula5557]

very good thank u got u a follow G ! 💫

[@LegacyBeats]

Thanks 💯

[@matthewk5325]

This is awesome info thanks man, do you eq your drums in the same way you eq the Melodie’s?

[@LegacyBeats]

Glad it helped. I very rarely do any EQ to the drums. I just add effects like reverb or distortion if needed.

[@mukeshpathak7302]

WavGrind, are you the same person who released a drum kit some years back with Lary ohh?

[@LegacyBeats]

Yeah we’ve worked on lots of packs before!

[@artyom9137]

preciate u gangy

[@LegacyBeats]

thank you!

[@Sedhement]

So would I be right in saying, it's best to have nothing on the master (for selling beat files), and just level between -6 and -3db properly? Then you can use soft clipper, izotope, etc. on the beat to post on youtube, for example, so it sounds good. Or should we boost the song with a clipper when we sell it, because the engineer can remaster it anyway?

[@LegacyBeats]

Yeah so boost the volume with the master. That way, the volume is loud if they just want to use the master. If they want to have the non mixed version, they can buy the trackouts which won’t have the volume boosted.

[@teequakhaan1772]

Hi, just wanted to yell thanks for the resources.

[@LegacyBeats]

No worries!

[@oar1x]

[@LegacyBeats]

eh maybe. You can use wide claps for trap too.

[@S.BOfficial786]

You deserve a sub thanks

[@LegacyBeats]

Thanks for the sub!

[@luminousbeats9347]

this is sick

[@healty-d6q]

how do you know that your sound is crashing with each other we need a video of u explaining that to our understanding

[@LegacyBeats]

By listening. If it sounds muddy, it’s likely the layers are crashing.

[@IrishRhymeAssasin]

So what about the people that don't use fruity loops? I personally use MPC program so this kinda helps but doesn't fully explain how I could do all his in that

[@LegacyBeats]

It's all basically the same. Go and use a mixer to level everything correctly, then use a maximiser or compressor to boost the volume.

[@ryde2012]

[@LegacyBeats]

Hey, it depends on the pack. Most of our free packs require an email to download. In that case, log into that email on your computer and the link will be there.

[@Knowcaptv]

Where do you level your kick? -6db or -8db?

[@LegacyBeats]

To be honest, I never really look at the numbers. I just listen to how it sounds. I try not to make producing a numbers game

[@bobboj-l8p]

that doesn't matter i promise gang, look up "PIERRE BOURNE MIXING SAUCE ALEXMADEIT" thank me later ;)

[@beezy9283]

When do you change it back to stereo?

[@LegacyBeats]

When you've finished mixing

[@3k9k]

Would you recommend maximus?

[@LegacyBeats]

It’s decent. I’ve used it before. I just prefer using a clipper or ozone.

[@Fraend]

i think it's all good ,except for the processing on hi hats, I would change the velocity more and reverb to make them more realistic and not that reverbered

[@LegacyBeats]

Thanks for the feedback

[@zeezy8054]

any leveling tips ?

[@LegacyBeats]

Have your final levels pretty low so the maximiser/clipper has room to work. Go through and remix the layers one by one as many times as you need, to get a mix your happy with.

[@zeezy8054]

@@LegacyBeats thank you! also, my sounds don't clash but my mix is usually pretty harsh and so i always get parametric eq 2 and put a 7 db cut on the 670hz and 3500hz , it sounds fairly clean but i feel like it takes away some of the life of the beat but i can't make it not harsh any way else, any tips ?

[@IRBY_BEATS]

I'm new to selling beats and I have only put 2 up at the moment . I'm a little stuck atm. Should I mix and master the beat and drop the wav / stems down -6db Or do I mix my chanells and leave the master to an engineer or someone to buy my beats

[@LegacyBeats]

So I recommended the master being at -6db before adding a maximizer/compressor. 99.9% of artists will be fine with your mix, as long as you follow these steps. If they aren't happy, tell them to buy the trackouts lol.

[@IRBY_BEATS]

@@LegacyBeats thanks for the knowlege m8y , much appreciated

[@LegacyBeats]

agreed

[@jericoejones7376]

aint no way bro cranked the post gain on the clipper all the way up and pulled threshold all the way down...on the master. lmao don't do that. compress and if needed, soft clip your drums on their own mixer inserts or send samples to a bus if you have a lot of drums...then compress your melodies on their own mixer inserts or bus....then you can put a soft clipper on the master along with a limiter/compressor to increase overall loudness without having an insane amount of gain reduction affecting the master. soft clippers are better used to assist compressors and limiters with harsh transient peaks from the source signal and to round out gain reduction and ultimately get more loudness out of a signal. you don't need make up gain at all with a clipper. you use compressors and limiters. the only time you would even "need" a soft clipper on the master is if you are trying to squeeze an extra .5 to 1.5 LUFS without distortion before the signal hits the master compressor(s) OR if one of the samples in your mix has harsh transients. some good tips here...especially gain staging and sample selection which are very important....but also some oversight. ggs tho.

[@LegacyBeats]

I usually raise it an octave and check to make sure. It followed the notes of the melody so it sounds fine. But I may have been able to find better root notes.

[@drivvzy]

My beat was mastered with the way i've been doing it (self taught) and it was prob my best, i removed the presets and all of my own mixing to get a better mix and this video completely ruined it! thanks for ruining my beat!

[@LegacyBeats]

If it was your best beat with your best mix, changing it for another strategy is your fault. Either way I stand by this strategy you just need to do it properly

[@stevengallo1469]

meh this doesnt really help with people who dont use melody samples

[@LegacyBeats]

it is exactly the same. I could have loaded the original project for those melodies and the mixing process wouldn't change.

The fact you didnt touch the mono stereo knob makes this whole video unreliable

[@LegacyBeats]

I did? I turn my beats to mono when mixing, then back to normal after I’m done. Maybe it was cropped out of the video, but that’s all I can think of

[@slackstarfish8133]

Most platinum producers especially those who make trap beats are actually pretty ass at mixing and barely understand the software, they just send it to professional mixing engineers to get it to sound good

[@LegacyBeats]

They do use engineers a lot, but there's still very talented producers who mix their own music. A bad mix can ruin your chance of a placement.

[@taha_mirza]

LOL .. I'm sorry but you have no smallest cue what (professional sound) sounds like .. go and listen to any song in top 10 then immediately listen to what have you done here, you might understand. What you just did here is 99.9% of people do, grab sounds from here and there without even knowing how good or bad the sounds were at first place, the moment you selected first two samples I knew how your final product will be going to sound and I was 100% correct. Very poor .. you need to watch this video of yours and re-read my comment after 20 years to understand what I said. And if you think that I'm just throwing words, I can meet you online and 100% make you understand that your mix in this video sounds like something coming out of a poor phone speaker even by listening to it in on a professional monitors in well treated room. Its just Dunning-Kruger effect because Platinum Producers is just easy to type.

[@LegacyBeats]

Lame mixing

[@LegacyBeats]

Not true. Learned this from top producers.

[@itsalientune]

your 808's out of key

[@LegacyBeats]

I have had one other person say that. I followed the notes of the melody but I should have raised it a few octaves and triple checked. I was in a rush when filming

[@itsalientune]

It’s just a mix tutorial anyway it shouldn’t matter but I was telling you in case you didn’t know

[@PRODTRIPL]

soft clipper on the master channel... dont listen to those lame beatmakers.. and dont put this shit on ur master

[@LegacyBeats]

I didn’t recommend it, I recommended using the izotope maximiser which is very common in hit beats. Using a soft clipper on the master is also fine and used on so many hit beats too. The engineer will go and re master it anyways.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

808s are overrated. They sound like farts.

[@LegacyBeats]

aha. They are used in 99% of hip hop and trap tracks, which are my genres, so I'm kind of stuck using them.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

@@LegacyBeats Oh yeah they are everywhere. I've got every conceivable version of the 808 sound in my sample files. Since they all sound like farts it's hard for me to tell if I got any repeats. Know what I mean? Been really checking out trap rhythms lately. I might have a sub for 808s that I like. Others might. Not likely.

[@DavidBlackmore-zi3yj]

Step one: stop mixing in Fl Studio

For most producers it's completely fine. If you're sending beats out for placements then they will have their own engineer anyways.

There’s lots in this video including levelling, EQ, and adding a maximiser of compression. The soft clipper was just one of the potential strategies, and the end result was pretty good
