What are your favorite drum mixing tips and techniques?

[@thedutchdjentleman]

As long as there’s a stereo room track, duplicate it (if there aren’t two stereo tracks) and use a slow attack to add punch to the tracks and blend it with a smashed track, to increase the room’s sustain

[@zeclomal2265]

Parallel comp. Always!

[@jasoncoffey]

That was very helpful. Thank you for putting this together.

[@danybones4171]

AWESOME! I always do almost all of them except for limiting the drum bus, but now I'll try out. Thanks so much!!

can you do this again, but doing something like more advanced techs? I learned all these a while ago, which are great! but I want to see some deeper stuff, great vid though!

[@artemi-music]

thanks

[@RusiruRupasinghe]

Great video! One question though. Is there anyway to push the snare back and have some space? I tried with a reverb but hard to hear it in the full mix.

[@scarabass3924]

try taking some top end off, it will make it feel more distant

[@briietsai1997]

I literally was looking for a mixing drums tip video last night lol.

[@masteringcom]

Aha! Perfect timing... I was picking up your vibes :)

[@james7110]

[@masteringcom]

I am a total Slate nerd lol

[@bigphatpimp47]

Whoa hey , I know you ❤ thanks for the help bud

[@coppermeloman9143]

... 👍 !!

[@hxcguy4187]

Fun fact, he didn’t blink once. Lol.

[@rickyred001]

Tightness is a useless phrase to use. Shame he didnt talk about the removal of mud which is the quickest way to improve the sound of your drum miz. Some useful advice here worth remembering, but he missed a lot out

[@merchannel7762]

If u ever feel like ur life isn’t going anywhere and all u WAHHHHNT…

[@bigboomInc]

This guy. He sells extended warranties on power tools. Or time share vacations. Possibly has a felony for hazing at his fraternity.

[@dolmena]

Does he blink? Why do you show us a robot?

[@ReyBanYAHUAH]

Much love! The Father in Heaven’s Name is NOT “the LORD” it is YAHUAH (YA-WHO-AH) The Son’s Name is NOT “jesus” it is YAHUSHA (YA-WHO-SHA)! Beloveds we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression of The Law Of YAHUAH The Father in Heaven. The Law YAHUAH Gave through Moses. We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On YAHUSHA The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM Today! Much love!

[@dennislacroix9962]

These "TIPS" only apply for acoustic recorded drums...

[@np466]

You need programming tips? Lower the velocities and vary them.

[@coreystone7435]

Why do you have autotune on your voice lol

[@masteringcom]

HAHAHA I do? I'll check with my editor on that... it's more likely that I simply speak in perfect pitch 😜

[@estudiotamboril6025]

Samples? No way

[@zeclomal2265]

You can ride your horse while we ride our Teslas 😂

[@monarchdrumandbass8700]

Wait till you find out about electronic music 😳😳
