How do I get my mv2 meter to look like yours!?

[@philf4086]

It's kind of amazing to see this technology. Imagine doing this work with tape in 1975. Only tape. Bouncing tracks through the board, adding effects, splicing tape, repeating. Wow. This seems hard enough to me with the digital tools.

How to I get the mv2 meter to show like you do?

[@1morestrangerband]

I went through your free course a few months ago but only recently started to apply some of the wisdom you've imparted on the ways to really maximize the benefits of garageband.. The way you've assemble your content and able to articulate the step by step process is amazing. Thank you for these videos. I'm loving the process. 🤘

[@filmrollstroll2003]

It’s like you knew I needed a long format video of this after sitting thru all 30+ of the GarageBand guide over the last week 🤣 Today was when I started applying everything to a recent project for a group, and while sitting and writing all the things that really helped my mixes a TON, You bless us with this gem! Stoked to watch this over and keep learning from you 🖖🏾

[@tracynaimish9456]

This should have more likes! This guy is working hard for us. Very detailed instructions and free downloads. Should be appreciated more!

[@therealmorganofficial]

I absolutely love your channel, you're doing a great job. GarageBand is really underrated, so thank you for showing how great it is as a DAW!

[@pauldepechemode66]

WHY do my songs sound great through my m audio studio monitors but when I export and play in my car the whole album sounds muddy and no track clarity or separation? Ive got a whole album to mix now and I hit the same problems every time. thanks for the videos, I can already see there is so much im not doing in the beginning of mixing.

GARAGE BAND OR LOGIC PRO X??? 2024

[@billcummens3938]

Thank you for getting back to GarageBand. I look forward to watching and learning from this whole video.

[@tommylarsson2025]

Hello Boss! Excellent video and you are so generous with your knowledge. I just want to share a personal viewpoint although I still have much to learn about mixing I am pretty experienced in music. I think its important to withdraw from the learning process on and off so you can apply what you learn so you get an outflow and not to much inflow only. Your system for the process are excellent but even so its still my job to get my music to sound the way I want soundwise. So I encourage people to use your system but not forget what kind of sound they are after. It might be to brake some ”rules” here and there. References as you mention is a good way and also just experiment. Maybe go a little extreme with the snaredrum and pitch it high or something else. There are definately great rules to follow thanks to you, just keep in mind that our personality is unique so dont be afraid to experiment and define for yourself what sound you want. And thanks to you we then have a great system or way (whatever we call it) to also make it sound professional. Thanks a lot Colin! 👍

[@alasbruta]

Just finished watching it entirely. It is an IMMENSELY HELPFUL content. I feel inspired again to go make some music. Thank you so much!!

[@TheBandGuide]

Great to hear! 🙌🏼

[@virtuehealthcare]

great video thanks. any chance for timestamps?

[@sujoymukherjee2232]

Can You please make it for Ipad/Iphone as external sources are not found in mobile

[@mattpeabody14]

Is someone able to answer the question about the mv2 meter not showing please?

[@prayforcere]

how do you get a good static mix without the meter plugin, though? i use garageband mobile. are the colors a good thing to go by?

[@abhinavprabhakar455]

bro why do you plug your garangeband guide for every chapter

[@kuu6667]

thank you for such a helpful video!

[@LloydCapital]

When using a limiter, once you've set your max output volume, is there a technical difference between using a track’s volume slider to create "input gain" versus using the input gain adjustment within the limiter plug-in? It seems like the result would be essentially the same unless each one adds dB at a different stage of the overall chain? PS. incredible channel! This is so helpful in understanding how to really use production tools.

[@TheBandGuide]

Your second point is exactly right - the volume slider is after all of your plugins. Check out this video to learn more about this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6K2pn-BpM6Fj5Y Thank you! Glad you're digging it :)

[@DeAdrianColeman]

Is the digital -3-6 the same with vocals?

[@tracynaimish9456]

Thank you so much for this video and downloads. Very helpful!!!! Much appreciated!!!!

[@philf4086]

When you were trying to assign the GAIN level of the master track (24:30, 26:10, and surrounding), there was some nasty sub coming through that was throwing the meters for a loop. I am surprised that you didn't adjust that single track with EQ or comp.

[@erneste-3williams]

20:50 That mini jam session was dope 🔥👏🏾 Edit: I like to picture where I can see my track and for you definitely NHL games 🏒1000%

[@robinmjones6197]

Thanks so much; my mixes sound so much better than when I started out on the journey by following your helpful process, especially explaining compression and limiting

[@DavidStevensMr]

One thing you do regularly in the video when EQing is change the width of the frequencies you're adjusting or searching. Somehow you activate a tool that allows you to narrow or widen the colored band of interest. But...how do you activate/find the tool that allows you do change the width? I can't find a way to pull or push the sides of the colored frequency range. Hope my question makes sense. Great video! I'm redoing an entire project using the process you've described for us! Cheers!

[@mattmcglade1983]

This is a fantastic tutorial. I was really struggling to understand how this whole process works, it's so overwhelming for someone who's never done it before. You really help make it clear and simple for everyone to understand. I'm applying to my music now and the difference is unbelievable!

[@brianchrisrogers]

A life changing video series 💯 You’re changing the world man, thank you!!

[@kevinparson7474]

You are the man. No doubt. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@KuartoXVI]

Awesome! Thanks man 😊

[@dadoodfrumcheers.]

Colin, I’m always going to your videos for questions but I’m all over the place and never really know where to start, this is perfect and I’m excited to use it. I really appreciate it 👍

[@TheBandGuide]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy

[@RubenMainor]

@@TheBandGuide quick question I’m in the process of recording a song I use an iPhone with GarageBand. I don’t have decent headphones without headphones or headphones a must.

[@RubenMainor]

@@TheBandGuide also wanted to ask once I start the mastering process. Should I merge each track individually or merge the entire mix just trying to find something good trying to do it right as well.

[@IbraTsory]

This is so helpful I’ll sub and on your email list
