Never thought i'd see one of my favorite mix engineers mixing a song for BO6

[@DrProgNerd]

Saw this and bought BSA Silencer. Just threw it on a drum mix. Man, this thing is cool. Great purchase....and on sale.

[@clintyoung9902]

Silencer is the new goat. Be proud, you did a great job with it.

[@1verzhn]

I’m gonna dowload the mix cheatsheet and laminate it😂. You really as well as your team, take the bs and fluff out of mixing. I so appreciate all the stuff you give out for free. I can’t afford your flagship training but. Thanks for these tried and true methods.

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

Jordan’s way of mixing really does work. I was always over complicating things, which I guess is what happens when you’re starting out, but once I started keeping it simple and just using the principles that have always worked for great mixers, then everything just started falling into place.

[@Iceleben]

Love silencer, it’s amazing

[@BobCorey]

Mr. savior behind the rock n roll making...

[@kshep39]

Great chain! I usually throw BSA clipper at the end to really tame those transients! BSA tools look simple but work well and since they are easy to use, you’ll tend to reach for them to get the job done quick

[@brianpayne5773]

It’s amazing how much I take the magic of a gate for granted.

[@hernanbass5894]

Love this snare sound 🔥

[@scottykomer9992]

Fun! Congrats on landing this mix job.

[@counterspellband]

Silencer is freaking AMAZING.

[@joelarmendariz8876]

nice mix tips and sound after

[@itsmefrifri_]

Keep in mind that the dry tracks already sound very good, so don't forget to mention that the end results will be quite different depending on the quality or your drum recordings...

[@sjoerdvisser76]

Agreed. The snare in solo sounded very good on its own already.

[@peptoattack]

@@sjoerdvisser76 While it seems this is just a mixing job, this is part of Jordan's method: always get it right at the source (the recording stage). The more it sounds like a finished product in the recording stage, the better.

I love this channel but sometimes the comments are so awful. Happy to beat them here. Love your stuff! Don’t let the negative comments stop you from making such great content ❤

[@Fanafranky]

Yeah as far as SSL channel compression goes, I've been using E channel emulations for a while... Until Slate added all of SSL Native's own plugins and I stumbled on their B channel from the 70s, which I don't remember seeing any other company having modeled, and holy cow. The absolute opposite of subtle, lots of punch and tons of harmonics, I think its dynamics section either based on the bus compressor or the LMC instead of a completely different design like the later versions, and it's a lot more bare bones in terms of ratios. But it just has that dirty gritty thing that I absolutely love on drums (I'd still reach for an E or G channel for vocals or guitars)

[@jimistixhowell8517]

I wish Black Salt audio was soundgrid compatible, it would be so amazing to use it live

[@LightsandMotion]

since you love working with SSL channels trips, have you ever thought about getting a SSL UC1 controller and use the SSL ones and skip the mouse? I recently got one and it's pretty nice to be able to insert a 4K on every track and then not use the mouse when mixing more or less.

[@hardcoremusicstudio]

i have tried it briefly and I am interested. It definitely feels different and more musical turning the knobs than using a mouse.

[@Great-Beard-of-Zeus]

If you don't already have a video on plug-in order on a channel, I would love to see one.

[@stevedoesnt]

What was that reverb? It’s fantastic.

Loved it ! What do you do with the SSL on the snare bottom ? (where do you cut/boost and what are the settings for the compression)

[@ebenadewumi]

we need the reverb settings too...

[@EgyPeti]

Aggree. Didn't mentioned anything about the reverb, but im pretty sure it's switched on all the time during mixing... so please help us with the reverb settings, that would be amazing! Thanks!

[@michaelanthony9068]

Noob here, I wonder why the gate is important since everyone uses a channel of overhead mics plus a room mic anyway. I’m not throwing stones, I totally respect your expertise.

[@BrofUJu]

Because you want the compressor and EQ just compressing and EQing the individual snare. You're going to EQ OHs and rooms way different. Plus a snare is just a mono signal, and the mic is right on the snare. It's not in a good position to pick up cymbals and room sound. This is pretty standard. Happy mixing!

[@JackMorgan06]

If you put certain processing on a snare track for example, the bleed from other drums will also be processed and that can affect the overall drum sound negatively. Also it can sometimes help drums sound more dry in certain cases if that’s what you’re looking for. Another reason is because of a technique that I know Andy Wallace uses, where he uses a gate on kick and snare, and cuts of the sound very short, so you’re hearing the initial attack and less of the tail of the sound. That can make your drums more punchy in some cases.

[@michaelanthony9068]

@@JackMorgan06 oh, ok. That makes great sense. Thank you. Hot tip of the day !

[@michaelanthony9068]

@@BrofUJu Makes great sense. Thank you, my brother !

[@dj_instruments937]

Can I apply this same chain to kicks and other drum sounds? One of those people kind of OCD about mixing individual elements though I suck at it.

[@mattcarey861]

Very surprised that you’re not using a high pass on the snare to get rid of unnecessary low end!

[@LukeIcardMusic]

The advice of High passing on youtube ruined audio engineering for beginners. People that dont even know how to layer properly think theyve got to get rid of all the low mids, when really thats what makes your mix sound good in the car

[@hardcoremusicstudio]

sometimes I do... didn't really hear any bothersome low end though. Plus the gate is basically cleaning that all up for me already

[@Just-gt9oo]

👍

[@brianmckennamusic9434]

All of the snares ive ever used in various drum libraries have a sizzling tail on it. This snare has none of that. Any recommendations on samples or libraries that have snares that sound like this?

[@chriskemp466]

It's great if you can find a drum plugin with a snare that sounds good like that to start but they all seem so splashy with the horrid snare rattle. Where can you get a nice snare like that please?

[@joemarta8221]

Even dry that snare sounds amazing. Pretty low tuning especially in the age of all the Instagram drummers tuning way up and muting the shit out of it

[@1loveMusic2003]

Even if you attenuate the output with the saturation isn't the output of the ssl channel still clipping on the channel?

[@hardcoremusicstudio]

meh sounds fine!
