Mixing a Beat 2-track | Too Much BASS

Get access to the full online course and the actual tracks used in the video here: store.deekeimixes.com
In this video, I briefly discuss the importance of metering and referencing well-mixed tracks. If you donʼt listen to lots of music, how will you know what the balance of a mix should sound like?
A common issue with many hip-hop mixes I hear these days is having way too much bass/low end. This could be due to people not monitoring correctly, or never comparing to other popular mixes. Metering/Spectrum analysis can be useful, but make sure you use them to reference, and donʼt ever “mix with your eyes”.
The moves I made on this track were a lot more subtle than in the previous video. Listen carefully when I turn the plug-ins on and off, and see if you can tell the difference!

out of my 5 years of engineering records at different studios I can still say I've learned the most crucial tips from youtubers like this who barely get any views, crazy. Definitely using this to mix a youngboy record I'm working on🔥

[@MysteronLunaris]

Super helpful, and you helped me troubleshoot a bind. Cheers.

[@Luan_araujo91]

Man u´re dope! great tips!

[@shawnsteven1869]

Dope ! I use the promb splitter and sometimes mess with that or gulufos with it from 22-60hz or up more to see what it does

[@whoisxander6026]

This is solid in 2022! 🙏

[@maikon6910]

You are awesome

[@murica8730]

great video buddy

[@DeeKeiMixes]

Thanks 👍

[@hugobonz6187]

I you want to refresh tonal balance control and insight you need to deactivate and active so the plug-in to show the new sound.

Do you know some Instrumentals from Hip Hop where i can get a good Reference

[@dennisgonzalez3489]

🔥

[@DeeKeiMixes]

Much love to you, brother!

[@brettjr9521]

Do you know of any songs that have done well that used a 2track beat instead of the full track out of the instrumental? I'm curious. I know it's supper important to have the full tracks but producers charge alot to to own the beat out right so it's hard to pay for the stems of a beat and release the song just for someone to swoop in and buy the beat completely and own the copyright to your song

[@DeeKeiMixes]

I think you’d be surprised how many big trap hits were mixed with a 2 track. Its not ideal, but many times you don’t need to flexibility of the track out to make it sound good

[@pachinifivefive6607]

I use them all the time

[@mamabil]

For this type of processing, it would be better to set the pro-q3 to natural phase or linear phase instead of zero latency.

[@DeeKeiMixes]

I don't touch that section. Linear phase doesnt work very well with low end and causes pre-ringing. I would just leave it at the default setting which I believe is just zero latency. Natural Phase should be a good option too, but honestly, what setting you're on is kinda overthinking it imo. The setting will not make or break a mix. Good Luck!

[@kaankr808]

Isnt that going to introduce phase bc of the cut?

[@DeeKeiMixes]

It can so be mindful when cutting!
