How to get a perfectly balanced mix 🎛

[@clunt2548]

That’s a great tip, i remember when I learned that tip it legit changed my mixes so so much.

[@WassupFred]

So basically you listening for which one is too loud or too low?

[@clunt2548]

@@WassupFred Yea essentially! As well as it will change how long certain sounds rings out when you change the attack knob. A good term to research is Transients for this concept.

[@sergedotcom]

Mad useful. This is one of the reasons i swear by Tonal Balance Control. But this is essentially the same thing just free af.

[@ubu-ibme]

God tonal balance control is amazing 🤤

[@realjerrymerry]

@@ubu-ibme it's not free tho

[@ubu-ibme]

@@realjerrymerry Nope. I actually prefer this method better cuz for whatever reason you can't turn on/off the bands in TBC... only click-and-hold... like wtf? Why?? I just like the gain margins they show you. But yeah, definitely not free. Definitely not worth buying it just to buy it alone. Way better if you can find it in a pack instead.

Do you live and die by TC?

[@JulienFade]

I use exactly that! Happy so see someone having the same thought

[@davejohnsonmusic]

TB Pro Audio has a monitoring plugin called, ISOL8 and you can mute and solo 5 different bands with adjustable crossovers. M/S as well. And it's free. A great utility.

[@tronos]

one of my favorite plugin

[@christiand8243]

Thanks for the info 🙏💯💯

[@RikiAbi]

Isol8 is saving my mixes🤟

[@davejohnsonmusic]

@@RikiAbi It's a really handy utility. The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did (last I checked), was the ability to swap L/R channels. I have high-end hearing loss in one ear and need to swap channels while mixing. I use bx_solo for that. Edit: I stand corrected... they did add a L/R swap to ISOL8, so I will have to thank them for adding my suggestion..

Very useful, thanks!

[@kojoefante]

Right on .. Thanks so much ..😊

[@SanctusKain]

When I heard "balanced mix" i was tgink youll talk about something very different, haha. Also a great trick for reference tracks as well. Comparing your track with the reference using the same MB idea.

[@tdcmusicnow5312]

Excellent tip Balancing out each sound .. Some samples coming at a different volume or even DB

[@sj4267]

The plug-in reference is great for this! And more

[@Garavito911]

It costs 60 € (or 60$?) but it's totally worth the money!

[@WassupFred]

@@Garavito911tells you of there’s too much energy right?

[@ashdeen]

@@WassupFred it doesn't tell you, you have to listen and determine that for yourself (which is how mixing works)

[@BTL400]

I also use that trick but with the multi band comp found in Reaper. I solo the bands and have a listen to the "bleed" of the instruments. That way I can check volume/energy and frequencies of the instruments and know if I need to clean something, say a synth that should not have any lows, etc.

[@StormbreakerYT]

I use Ozone’s Tonal Balance Control to monitor the energy of the Frequency Spectrum. Way better than any technique I’ve seen

[@BodyOfPlayMusic]

Cool trick!!

[@vivanmusicmaker]

That's very helpful thanks❤

[@MATTHEWXXWILEY]

You just saved my album.

[@MikeBrayton]

I mean, you can really just do this visually using the analyzer while listening to the whole mix. After all, it's only in the context of the whole frequency spectrum that you can know which area needs to be increased or decreased. Soloing different bands is just a way of confirming what you already know.

[@OhItsNoctu]

„Ah so these are the high mids, they do sound like high mids! Nice, good thing I’ve used this great technique“ - someone using this right now

Gonna try this, makes sense, thanks

No don't lil

[@benjaminfrolich3661]

Best trick i‘ve seen !

[@nosam]

I see that NLS on the chain too 🔥👌🏼

[@anthonymetcalf660]

Thanks for that! It gave me the idea that you could also run a parallel bus with no output, drop an EQ in there with low- and high-pass filters, and place a multi-analyzer behind it.

[@nabeshin7741]

Multiband compression should be used to fix issues, it shouldn't be an absolute go-to for every mix...

[@sytch4u]

It is not using any compression. It adjusts the volume in different bands.

[@kronbakeren]

So you do this before you send to mastering or mastered it yourself?

[@SuperDaski]

Photos from your settings please?

[@SelfPoisonBand]

I have a better tip. Use your ears and plug into atleast 4 different types of speakers when mixing. Done. We be using devices too much

[@henrygrandpagobbleblobber6751]

Not that useful if you're not experienced enough and there's nothing wrong with using tools to aid you achieving industry requirements. Put this bullshit 'purist' mentality aside and realize that even the most prolific/successful musicians/producers use samples, presets and whatnot. Shit, nowadays we put mediocre bozos on a pedestal, passing them as the next Mozart, while if you were to shut down their auto-tune mid performance they'd sound like a gay porn actor shooting a scene.

[@henrygrandpagobbleblobber6751]

We be preaching to much while on our high horse.

[@pete3816]

@@henrygrandpagobbleblobber6751 You be ignoring great advice too much. He’s right. There is zero need to ‘see’ how much energy different parts of the spectrum contain. Use your ears and check decisions on multiple speakers. Been done for decades, and is way more reliable.

[@alexanderkendysh9071]

Wtf maaan. Get yourself a voxengo span. It’s free. It measures frequencies in lufs and it’s the better way to get good sounding balance for your mixes…

[@kahyui2486]

It's an analyser. It's got nothing to do with soloing frequencies

[@Diabolicalppp]

@@kahyui2486you can hit control and left click and solo any section of the frequency spectrum with Span

[@CaptainVelveeta]

So the goal is to have an even (straight line) freq response all the way across?

definitely not

Hi how does putting the NS10s on top of your mains sound? Been thinking about trying that eventually but I'm worried if it would color the response of my mains

[@bukowskimoho]

Yeah, but how do you know if an area has too much or too little energy? Maybe it's useful referencing other mixes but you need a context... Or am I missing a point, been doing mixing for 10 years and I haven't used a single reference mix to work.

[@WatchMyShorts303]

So how i see visually when to increase or decrease something?

[@banaaaaaan]

Never "see", always feel or hear. The stuff you can see depends on major changes, the tone of the song is not visible in an eq. If you can't make good decisions yet, try it out on different sounds and songs and compare, ist just training
