Worst Mixing Mistakes Music Producers Make

[@TommyUrbanskiDJ]

Only just came across your channel (had almost 3 years break from music making due to lack of inspiration etc) and I’m loving it! So much changed in the last few years I’m blown away! Thank you for your time and the knowledge you share! 🙌🏻

[@panorama_mastering]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@xoticboomofficial]

Dope stuff bro. So for mistake 2, can I smack them in mixing while maintaining gain stage or no smacking at all

[@DreamingLux]

I've been binging your videos lately and just realised I'm not subscribed haha! I have a question: at 10:20 you mentioned "request if they need any 15, 30 or 60 sec stings". Can you clarify what "stings" means here?

[@panorama_mastering]

Thanks man! Appreciate you following. Some publishers request short stings for synch purposes, there’s short/key passages in the song music supervisors can use in film/tv to denote transitions or movements that don’t require the whole aong

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

Awesome! 💯

[@panorama_mastering]

New mixing engineer from switzerland here. Really love your videos! been watching em all, so much good information, thank you. Also I've been wondering, the stings you mentioned what exactly are those? anyway thx again

[@panorama_mastering]

Definition au.audionetwork"Short musical phrases (or stings) are used in film and TV production as a form of short-hand or punctuation (perhaps to introduce a regular section of a show, or as a dramatic climax approaches.) This selection of Stings for Music Production will cater for any genre of Television; including, but not exclusively, Daytime TV stings, News and Current Affairs stings, Comedy stings, Drama stings or Sports stings." Think of the short sting which plays from the Seinfeld intro song during some scene transitions or when coming back after a commercial break;

@@panorama_mastering Oh! I see, very interesting, I was searching on the internet but couldn’t find anything. thank you so much for taking the time to explain! Can’t wait to watch more of your vids, I’ve literally watched every single tutorial there is but I’ve never come across such good information before, packaged in such a straightforward fashion! Your channel is literally the best on youtube for mixing and mastering engineers alike. Thx again for all the effort and knowledge!

[@KennWall]

[@panorama_mastering]

Happy to hear that!A real pleasure!

Would be great to get tips on mastering metal

As for lip smacks and mouth noises I've had some clients which told me to keep them and not remove them at all because they like them and it sounded more "real" to them. But I mix a lot of acoustic music (softly played acoustic guitars and pianos with vocals)

[@panorama_mastering]

Of course client always first; I'm working with a lot of pop and electronic and vocalists want everything pristine and perfect; so the softest lip-smack gets flagged straight away; if not by me; it'll be by them! I'm a big fan of in the attic of the unvierse by the antlers; I love how close you feel to the vocals you can hear EVERYTHING;

[@javierthemixmaster]

Hey! Absolutely loved the video, but I do have some questions about the last mistake which I made until now that I realize it is: How do you route the sends to print all of the three mixes (Full, TV, and instrument) without skipping the mix bus processing? I also work in Pro Tools (12.5) and usually rout the outputs of my busses directly into my 2 bus, so if I send the tracks straight into the print track, I understand it would skip the processing and therefore sound different? I hope this question makes sense, English isn't my first language! Thank you SO much for your content, it's really helped me a lot improving my mastering skills!

RX mouth de click occupies the first insert on every vocal buss template I have saved 😂😂. This plugin alone makes RX worth the money.

[@panorama_mastering]

YESSS!! So damn important!

[@sgfdancecompany]

MIX BUSS, expect for put in off the Limiter when you send it to your mastering engineer; is something that i not agree. the mix buss process can be a vital part of your sound pallette , esthetic or tone of your mix.

[@panorama_mastering]

Spot on! A great part of the tone of a mix :)
