Maschine Tutorial - Mixing Tips for Wide, Full Drums

[@SenecaTyree]

This dude is the best. Been following him for years now my beats are finally dope!!! Thx homie!

[@drum877]

You should make a drum air bus using a room reverb a filter to take out the lows of the reverb, tape saturation and compression. Then you individually send each hit to the send. It will give you a sound that makes your drums sound like a drum break and a less choppy sound. As well make a send to a distortion type plugin mess with settings to get some harsh grit then pepper that in the kit to make it crispy. Route them all to a group then compress to taste. Instant crack to your drums. The stereo widening took a little pop off of your drums when you added it. They were wider but had less snap.

man that beat gives it a pop

Great tutorial!

Hi, at 8:30 you can see the 3 hihat sounds are alternating. I guess you really trigger each separatly? I saw in DAWs sometimes is the possibility to automatically change/rotate the sample in every use of a event to get a littel variation and life into a track. Do you know a way to do that in maschine? Sincerely

[@dwaynemusik]

can you show how you program that drum pattern and also with the swing I have been trying to get that type of swing and drum pattern with machine but have not been able to achieve it you got it perfect

[@elcritico76]

Andrew, have you considered making a mixing and mastering tutorial? it would be super useful for sure!

[@Adsrsounds]

+Percy Enrique Guevara I will keep that in mind! I don't do much in terms of mixing and mastering though. My mixing is 80% getting the levels right, 10% panning, 5% EQ, and 5% dynamic effects. Mastering is usually a tinyyy bit of reverb depending on the project, bit of bus compression, and a limiter. I'm sure there are better ways to do it but that's my routine !

[@henryaaron4935]

Could you make a video explaining your routine easily

[@johnnybermudez]

Solid tutorial. Thank you! 💪🏼⭐️

[@35thChamber]

dope beat

[@namanrawal5849]

Sounds great. Did you use any compression on the group bus? Thanks.

[@jbest911]

Andrew, great video along with all of your others! I use MASCHINE and absolutely love it. Question about your kick drum: I'm having trouble getting my kicks to "knock". I've experimented with side chain/ NY compression but i feel like they are still missing something. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe layering more or EQ technique? Thanks, keep the videos coming!!

[@Adsrsounds]

jbest911 Glad you enjoyed it. If I really want to get a good kick, I'll usually layer two sounds - a deep, round, sub sound and a higher, sharper attack kick sample. I'll usually EQ out the lows on the attack sample so they don't conflict with the sub kick, as that provides the low end. Then I'll add compression, a bit of saturation, maybe Waves MaxxBass, etc on a bus of the two layers. Another trick I've read is to use some FX to trigger a low sine wave whenever your kick sample plays. This has a similar effect as sample layering that adds a deep layer to the kick. And keep in mind that a lot of the work in getting a sound or sample to sound right is to fit the others around it. In the case of the kick drum, that could mean sidechain compression driven by the kick, or it could mean EQing other low frequency sounds, so on and so forth. Hope this helps!

[@wlsntech]

Do you or ADSR Sounds have any tips/vids on learning how to finger drum? To actually get to use this great sounding drums

[@DylanBuckle]

Wil A Will There is great Ask Video tutorial on Finger Drumming by Jeremy Ellis. He as has some free Finger Drumming basics free on KZbin. I am learning too at the moment.

[@benice3117]

Dope beat! Is that Boom Bap essentials kit pretty good?

[@kgone]

Great stuff

[@arexpressionsphoto]

How do you get into the pan menu?

[@OfficialKonSite]

Definitely, dope tutorial Andrew. So you can use the Choke group to link 2 sounds together? Is that the only way?

[@Adsrsounds]

Official Kon Choke group cuts off pads; link group connects the pads!

[@OfficialKonSite]

I've got it, now to test it out. Thanks!

[@ozgunsen4354]

Hello there nice tutorial. I have a question: People are making the effect like when kick or drum hits the main melody's volume temporary decrease like compressing. How could we do that? Thank you.

[@Kicksareus919]

Özgün Şen I think you are referring to side chaining my friend. That peaks the kick drum over the whole mix, it should be in the compressor in the sound plugin in tab

[@Dub_AR]

How do you pan individual notes? & then how do you make that single note, a synth note for example, start panning on one side and end panning on the other?

[@paczmix]

Videeo is very helpful:) please tell me where is "S1 Imager stereo" - very nice effect but i can't find it. Thank you in advance

[@MithrilbeatzGethisbeatz]

PLEASE MAKE TUTORIAL ABOUT PRODUCING THIS BEAT!!!!! THAN WE GONA LEARN ALL ABOUT MASCHINE AND MUSIC :)))) THIS PREWIEV IS SICK!!!

[@dwighttaylor6908]

hey andrew when i get my mix like i like it in maschine when its not clipping and sounds really good to my ears. i then dump my tracks into protools and it doesnt sound the same or its clipping bad. i dont want to just place a whole stereo beat into protools i want to have the indidvidual tracks layed out and have my same mix. can u help me PLEASE

[@digitalfire4433]

What levels are you putting your drums at? I could have my drums not clip at the sound level, but they do clip on the group and Master level.

[@heylovers7362]

How do I control length of sound with my fingers?

[@beattender]

Do you have any phase issues when the mix is summed to mono using the Waves S1 and the beat delay techniques?

[@mathuraw__]

bro what do you recommend the master volume on when mixing ?

[@ShotGunDaBeatKing]

pretty damn good bro

[@michaelmoore4417]

How do I layer and connect the pads together on maschine mikro?

[@Adsrsounds]

+Michael Moore Same way, use the pad mode button and change pad link

[@pablohenriquez2]
