How To Mix Beats Like A PRO In FL Studio

[@TheInsomniaProject]

Mixing is my forever-nemesis but I love the process, whenever I reach a new milestone I get reminded I know nothing and it's so refreshing to keep having more to learn and more to strive towards. I Love some of my mixes, and others I feel like I failed miserably, but I got into a consistent workflow where now I feel confident enough to push more and more into advanced territory. It's frightening and it gives you motivation at the same time. Thats why I love making music, it's such a wide range of subjects to learn and to try and master, that you always feel like the student and never the teacher, even if you're also teaching others. Great video, this was very insightful and with a ton of gems! 😁

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@TheInsomniaProject we can always learn! Best thing we can do is always be opening to learning! I approach everything like this as well! I appreciate your comment!

[@doommega]

[@z3vano]

[@DocKaosBeats]

Wow this is the video I've been missing I tweaked it some by throwing my drums into a bus and adding decapitator to it but overall flawless video my beats sound better than ever now

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Thank you bro!! Decapitator is great on drums fr

[@prodbyuki]

Videos like this are never long enough. Thanx man

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@prodbyuki I appreciate you watching!

[@paperheartz_official]

Nice!!!! I run my drums through a drum bus first and get em all crispy and nice before they hit the master. But I didnt know you could use that limiter to sidechain the kick and 808, definitely gonna have to incorporate that technique!

[@rizoros8734]

[@tisbutascratch9374]

i like to have 2 busses. one for the instruments and one for the drums so i can bring all of them down at the same time. same effect, different method i guess. and i also i can throw a eq on each bus to adjust and eq to see where my levels for either one is at.

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Busses are extremely useful!

[@RealNuruMusic]

If you’re professionally mixing yes. If just selling beats it “could” be overkill, especially if the customer is buying stems to have a different engineer mix/master it.

[@causticmaterial]

im hearing impaired so my mixes are always funky but i still try regardless

[@dreallenmusic]

What gain staging volume do you recommend all your sounds individually be at before your start leveling?

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

This question has many answers tbh haha. A decent start is -6db, but I don’t really aim for a specific number anymore, I just make sure I got it. But if you read some plugin manuals, the plugins are modeled after analog gear so they will have a “recommended” number to feed gain into the plugin for desired results

[@OttoEevert]

Is the youlean loudness meter free? If it is then could you link it? Also fire video as always, keep it up!!

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@OttoEevert it was! I believe it still is. It’s been years since I got it. You can google you lean loudness meter. It’ll bring you to their site where they have both versions.

[@Jmwangs]

Would you also follow this mixing process for RnB? Great video bro🔥

great tutorial whats your audio interface volume like when you are mixing ?

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Thank you!🔥 It's low enough to where I can still have a conversation with someone next to me without raising my voice! I learned that when I first started engineering and it's really helped

Let’s go!

[@ericsmoloff161]

what are your thoughts in just leveling in the channel rack and leaving the levels all the same in the mixer channel?

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

You can do that but the channel rack is prefader, meaning that is the gain that feeds into the plugins. If you click plugins, it usually doesn't sound good (with the exception of some that are designed for hot signal to emulate gear, ect). Depending on how much you implement gain staging, I would say it can cause some issues!

[@Cornerfill]

is it okay to put Maximus on the master and select clear master preset after i mix all the instruments?

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Tbh I never used Maximus before and I don’t know what the preset is doing! But if you like how it sounds and it works, use it! One thing I would recommend is to study and understand what every thing does in the plugin and preset so you know what to adjust ect!

[@Cornerfill]

@@LifeStyleDidIt thanks i'll try to study that

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@Cornerfill welcome!

[@darkcharmrecords]

if it sounds good after then yes!

[@flstudio-iq]

[@prodjnboy]

Should I mix with open headphones or closed? or both

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Try both and see what you like more. I mix on closed back headphones. DT770 pro 80 ohms

[@meloX_music]

Bro sounds great, what is this for kontakt Guitar??

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

Thank you! Electric Sunburst Deluxe Melody edition

[@meloX_music]

Bro very good work !! Always respect

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@meloX_music thank you!!

[@ESSnEFF]

Do you recommend 250 ohm or 80 ohm headphones ?

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

80 ohms if you don't have a dedicated headphone amp

[@2024style]

Don't you have to move the threshold down on the first limiter after you put the volume down to tame the 808s?

[@rosegurung3388]

Yo bro if you wanna upload beats on youtube is this ptocess enough or do you master it differently afterwards?

[@Farabeats70]

👍👌

[@hypehouse7271]

hhhhhhhhhhe??? no drum bus & no melo bus mixing? u miss alot of glue & wormth if u leave bus mixing away
