I even made my own little chart from your chart that I apply to every mix I make now and I’m so happy how they come out. I’m finally at a similar pro level now. Thanks again for this info, you have my biggest support 💞

I watched this video two days ago I doubted it would work as i don't a genre thats on the chart but it is similar to deeo house. Yesterday i tried this on one song and it made it song so professional that i couldn't believe that it was a dong i produced. I was smiling for hours realizing how powerful this is anyway i mixed 2 more songs after that. May all your dreams and desires come true you truly helped me just as i was starting to seriously consider giving up.. Thank you

There are so many takeaways in this video, I had to pause so many times.

Love the flowchart! It kindof replaces the "mixing magic" with a tangible approach. I have some sort of similar workflow, but it is in my head only (no flow chart :)) and it starts with a kickdrum at -12 dB. And after that I mix all the other parts in, relative to that kick. As I usually mix psy-trance and uplifting trance, the relationship between the kick and the sub/mid bass is very important. I use different levels as a rule of thumb than you show here, but as you say, many things are depending on genre and style. You have a new follower in me. Thanks for the awesome vid.

I appreciate that you do more than just say "just raise or lower this until it sounds right." As a novice, I need to know what sounds right! Just because I can tell the difference between a pro and amateur track doesn't mean I know how many db should generally be between kicks and hats, for example.

I feel like using peak level references may be misleading, as you could have the exact same "felt" volume or RMS with a clipped sound - so lower peaks (snares, hats, kick). Interesting take on things though.
@BorisBeing7 ай бұрын

@AutPen387 ай бұрын
I prefer to use VU meters (and occasionally look at LUFS too) rather than peak dBFS, but I think you can use either and just get used to different relative numbers. The key thing is to have a particular setting/number for your kick, and then practice (or use a flowchart) for balancing all your levels (in dBFS, RMS VU, or LUFS) relative to that.

Inrteresting but you don't talk about panning and I would be curious to know how you are going to pan for instance the hi-hats and 16th hats, and if you pan also the pad or let everything in center? thanks
@Alice-Efe7 ай бұрын
Panning really depends quite a bit of the genre and the chart is more about getting the volumes right. I have another drum mix video where I talk about the panning a bit more.
@couchtrax7 ай бұрын
The way I think of panning when I start is if I were in the crowd watching a band. Starting with drums Kick in the middle like a drummers drum kit is, right handed drummers Hi-Hat and snare wll be on your right (the drummers left) Hi-Hat typically more right than the snare, Hi-hat about 20% right, I usually use 2 closed hit hat sounds so one I make 18% and one 20% right, open hi hat same way. Snare about 12% panned right. Floor Tom panned about 30-35% left, and you should get the rest for your toms and cymbals. (look at a picture of a drum kit if you have to). Bass and Guitar are fed to the mixer board in live band so they can typically be centered, or maybe put your guitar 10% left or so. Thats a very basic start, everything of course and be tweaked depending on the track. so yeah, just imagine a band playing all the instrument, where are they at on the stage from a listeners point of view facing the stage.
