Use THIS Production Trick for PRO Tracks

[@wale.a]

Honestly, this should be called "2 Tricks I use...", cos the first thing I noticed was that Reversed Guitar. I thought that Reversed Guitar + Reverb transition was neat as it went into the Lo-Pass Filter. Definitely a 2-trick combo in my book.

[@HenryMittnacht]

LOL same here!

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Great catch!! Yes I used that to "mask" the automation of the EQ plugin turning on

[@kalelisuperman]

The guitar tone on this is stellar.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Hmmm wonder who played that? haha This man - Phil Coleman on the guitar, folks!

[@kalelisuperman]

@@NathanJamesLarsen Thanks buddy! The processing you did sounds fantastic!

[@BrandiLynnColonMusic]

Ayyyyyy 🔥

[@bassManDavis1953]

Nice,nice,nice! What a trick, I'm gonna go over some of my past projects and see what I can do? Thanks Nathan.

[@MartyZylstra]

know about it, but now I'm gonna start using it! really nice to learn these tips and tricks from you!

[@thomastreppenhauerphotosho3972]

Yeah, it's true, thank you for explaining it.

[@utsav-nanda]

Nathan tips and tricks are far more better than others. Simple, Up to the point and detailed! ❤️ from India.

[@timbranniganmusic3458]

Thanks for another great video! This technique is going to go a long way for me. It’s a great way to carve out space for different things and create movement throughout the mix. Thanks again! Best Wishes - Tim

Nathan: That's good man, this is the stuff we love about the Producers Accelerators course. Intentional composition decisions which create well thought out production. Love it man! If you haven't signed up, use the link in the description and level up today!

Thanks James! Love hearing that as I'm sure you know. Intention! Yes. You know I preach it hard! 👊👊

This is huge!!! Very helpful. Thank you for sharing this!

[@JasonFerguson1283]

That's nice using the reverse reverb swell just before the vocal enters!

[@danabarnes4751]

nice work. I would love to hear more about the backing vocal production! thanks for the vids :)

[@jim1664]

A great trick there. Looking forward to hearing the single!

This is brilliant Thank you for the tip

Great easy trick! Thanks 🙏🏼🎶🎶

Thanks for the in depth scoop on the ways to use LPFing, this is really good stuff.

[@pretentioushab]

you post vids as soon as my classes are done so thank you so much :)

[@holliemay_music]

Great video. Please could you explain how you bypassed the lo pass filter so that it's only enabled in specific parts of the stem? Thank you 🤓

[@fabiankahwati]

Awesome man. Had wondered how to achieve that method as you can hear it in so much music.

[@KloudNineMusic]

This was soooo helpful! Thank you sooo much! How did you do the reverse guitar? Do you have a video on reversing guitar. If you I will search your channel for it.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

In my video on Transitions - I show how to reverse elements

[@3xAudio]

Simple yet very effective

[@nontalibbrecht-carey2966]

Suuuper helpful thank you!!

[@DanielDeakin]

yeah filters are great!

[@VocalChordsMusic]

Nice tip - Beautiful song btw

[@my_kuuh]

i’ll definitely be using that first electric guitar idea seems like it’d make a song feel more diverse. also i’ll be waiting for that song! man it’s so good

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Heck yes! And thanks! Can't wait to release it next week!

[@johnathanbeats]

This is why lots songs are played different live. They go on a deeper note while being the same key.

[@definfected]

You and your awesome tricks!! This is such a useful one. I literally just used it for a transition. Lol Thank you for showing us the way!! Much love Nathan!!

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Love this! Thanks man!!

Great Tip Nate ' Cleaning up ;)

[@דודמזון-י7ז]

can you do more producer battle? maybe vs Phillip Mills

[@yohami]

Excellent

[@SoummayGhosh]

Genius 🔥

[@zackmatthews235]

So is he using latch mode to apply the filter on certain parts of the track? Or is the filter on throughout the entire track? 🧐

[@ashutoshmishra8036]

Learned!!🤟👌👌

[@justam_ess]

Literally just recently figured out you could Automate eq.... hahahaha... Great Video Nathan!!

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Learning new things always! haha! Automation is amazing.

[@proliitt]

How do you mix your vocals ?

[@ninjaneer1974]

well done, sir. this is a good one

Thanks Phillip!

@@NathanJamesLarsen I really admire your work, great content, thanks for doing this for all of us.

[@avx8187]

Hey Nathan, do you bounce those individuals tracks with the automation printed or do you export without and repeat the process in the mix stage?

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Great question - I bounce down that stuff. I mixed this track but I have used mixing engineers before - and on something like this that I know exactly how I want it - I will bounce the effects and "bake it in" or you'll hear some people use the term "commit" I like making those big choices during producing and not mixing because to me it's a production choice and has a lot to do with the actual sound of the track. Obviously you CAN have it done in the mixing stage - and some cool things can happen there, but just in this case I did it during production.

[@avx8187]

@@NathanJamesLarsen Ohh I get it, basically it’s just a matter of preference. I’m a beginner, so I’m trying to understand the mindset behind this kind of choices, thanks for the quick reply! Greetings from Brazil

[@88omarz]

can't seem to figure out how to apply this then get it to return to the normal audio track, what am I missing?

[@joeymorsemusic]

Do you have a link for the movement piano? Love it

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Just used a Native Instruments Piano with the Movement plugin by Output!

[@mangomakebeats]

At 6:00, is there a reason why you would use an instance of EQ for each sound rather than sending it all into a mix bus?

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Yep! As you can see I didn't filter out everything - I already had a stack created for the entire set of drums and when I added filtering on all of it - it took out too much, and there are some things I didn't want filtered or I didn't want filtered at the same frequency. Definitely CAN do bus filtering if it's all the same.

[@mangomakebeats]

@@NathanJamesLarsen ah I see. Thanks!

[@FrankBell]

Epic

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Thanks Frank! 'ppreciate it!

[@TheVideogamemaster9]

The style of compositions I work on need to be too bright and energetic for any real kind of filtering except for extremely quick effects lol

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Sure! Like I said you can use the opposite and do a high pass filter too. Really for me it's about 1) carving space and 2) designing my sound a bit more

[@gonzogil123]

You can clearly tell where the rupture in no way arose from, but objectivized nevertheless.
