Hi, Nik from Noisia!

[@Leopard105]

Hello person

[@vectoreq_dnb]

thanks man, so many tutorials on sounds , not so much on making them sit. happy there is one more now! :)

[@tuffpace]

cheers Nik

[@TheGreenCheeseMoon]

Welcome to this place, Nik!

[@Abstraiit]

a masterclass solely on mixing and mastering by Noisa would be crazy

[@AtomNic]

and that is for sure :D

[@ilcapitano9915]

usually you right, but the world has so much shit that we must hear and see and because that i think we deserve it :)

[@naota3k]

They say that just by rubbing his head you can improve your mixing by orders of magnitude.

[@dadvader6197]

just imagine if you could sniff it...

[@Hazelcut]

He did that with just one arm, imagine what Noisia can do with 6 arms :)

[@jarnsus2038]

lololol

Hazelcut *counts number of arms they have together in my head*

[@profyle766]

[@arnav3133]

They can produce this way better with 4 hands and the rest 2 hands can be used for... "other" purposes

This is the best RAZER Music tutorial ever. Thanks for sharing. I've always thought that Noisia had a mixing engineer doing everything for them.

[@klaptroprod]

But can you do it without hands????

[@smileyface3107]

I'd pay $500+ if Noisa did a master class. Thanks Razer for putting this video together

[@spiralspree]

The last 40 seconds were really exciting. Never thought about using stereo placing for separating rythm patterns. Definitely gonna try it. Thanks!

[@geoffcraz2342]

no doubt, this is the best 10 minute tutorial on youtubes

[@erradate6425]

fuck yes

[@manifatzigula]

I like how at around 5:00 it sort of shows how he uses the drum rythm and the bass as inspiration for a melody in the stereo field. And BAM it sounds like Noisia. Awesome :D

[@aayushpathakFHL]

After watching this, mid-side separation is one of the first things I do on all my instruments so that I can treat them separately. Thanks Noisia!

[@nezoomie]

"Yeah! This is a song! I'm happy!" NEVER.

[@skychall]

These little Noisia videos are amazing! So much great information shared quickly and effectively.

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

I would watch a week long video from Nik. I learn something every two seconds he speaks.

[@freenemo5122]

watched 2 minutes, really really interesting! not like these thing are nothing I've heard about but having things so well and clearly layed out also the pure approach to it, is yet mind opening. very inspireing. Thanks Nik!

[@dinfluence30]

He is very good trying to explain the frequency spectrum through mixing. Damn... It's so clear to understand...

[@moeneff]

5:31 How does he switch between mono, stereo and sides with one button? I use Cubase as well. it seems like a great tip for mixing

[@supersquare]

I would also like to know, I’ve never seen someone do that before

[@linusberglund5109]

Not sure, but you can achieve the same thing in Pro-Q in Mid/Side Mode with the pan knob. Not as nice as toggling it with the press of a button though...

[@supersquare]

I forgot to reply here, but at 0:15 you can see D&B Jesus using a Crane Song Avocet, which offers mono toggling and mid/side soloing among other things

[@MarkDanov]

Very late reply but you can do that if you enable control room in cubase, which is actually super helpful when mixing

[@zodiac909]

Noisia = G.o.a.T.

[@csomika88]

when the video is so interesting you're afraid it will end in time..:D

[@ExposureDJ]

Yes, great tutorial. one area of production that is rarely covered. Good stuff!

[@BlackenedNL]

This was great to watch! I'm kinda proud to be dutch hearing the way he speaks english

[@smileyface3107]

this video IS FUCKING GREAT. THANK YOU! EYE OPENER!!!!!!!! great learning from someone so knowledgeable, I like how he talks about his thought process and kinda challenges the viewer. edit: this video keeps getting better, the PROCESS he is taking and way he thinks about things is so great!

[@ScottBowman1]

Phenomenal and incredibly insightful tutorial. Wow. Thanks so much for that!!

[@blindcamel6236]

9:21 how did he keep the transients mono and the rest stereo? Anybody please?

[@dampeification]

Nice examples. Would be great to actually see the specific mixing he did with the final results. I understand I can change things with mixing, but my results are shit :D

[@tentato2262]

[@moedemama]

How many clubs have a stereo setup?

[@alexchau89]

Hey, does anyone know how Nik is able to keep just the transients mono and move other parts of the sound to stereo?

[@valkata1997]

Let me know if you find out! I was wondering the same

[@adriencastberg]

Duplicate your hit/sample, mix one of them and keep it mono, use a haas effect or any sort of creative mixing to widen the second hit so it occupies stereo. Then go thru and EQ each sample so that you're isolating the parts you want in mono and the part you want in stereo. You might keep the majority of the mono hit intact, and then eq out some top end on the stereo one. Do this in context of the rest of the song so you find where they sit best, not where they sounds good solo'd. Balance the levels of the mono/stereo hits to your liking (again, in context of the song), throw some saturation and glue compression on it.

[@megarix007]

Here 7:50 /watch?v=ezh2BM2dh5s Nick explains how he usually approach drums transients and stuff

[@Ozzy-87]

So the last loop, are you saying for dancefloor music you should really have both drums and the bass in mono???

[@tonyvice6661616]

i think he means the bass parts of the drums, as well as the transients of the drums in mono. so the tail will be fed to stero space.

[@trollfred]

well thats just awesome

how did he get those transients in the sides? Split bands and modulate panning on high end?

[@lewderection5029]

oui ces ce qu'il explique

[@secondnatureful]

excellent video.

[@DjMrGrimM]

Amazing tutorial!!

[@Shineh234]

but the big question I still have is: Are your tracks played in mono over big club and festival sound systems? If so, doesn't alot of the stereo information get completely lost?

[@supersquare]

That’s why you need a mix that collapses to mono, but has an interesting stereo field for listening literally everywhere else.

[@Shineh234]

I guess that breaks down roughly to making your sounds in mono (or very mono compatible) and then using a stereo send channel with a stereo fx chain?

[@supersquare]

There are plenty of ways to do it, but you're on the right path of making your sounds mono compatible. You don't need to start in mono necessarily, as long as when you shift to mono, it's still intelligible and not phasing like crazy. Sometimes it sounds better (and is easier lol) to have a straight stereo processing chain on certain elements (like pads, fx, leads, etc), but keeping the main elements (or even just the transients like Nik was saying) mono so it translates better on systems. The stereo information isn't lost, it's just collapsed to mono. There are plenty of plugins that allow you switch a stereo signal to mono for testing also. Even laptop speakers and phones are going stereo now, so it's really only in certain situations where a mono mix will be used. If haven't seen it yet, you should check out Pensado's Place on youtube and his in the lair series. He demonstrates a shit ton of these techniques and others.

[@Scyber_Official]

Hello person. Welcome to this place.

[@pjdahmen]

Great tutorial

[@Nonkem]

This is driving me nuts I cant figure it out how come he says the bass is being sidechained where in channel 37 called "Copy of SC Trigger" there is no signal comming out of it? I use Cubase aswell but if someone is into audio and know what i am missing would be very helpful. Thanks!.

[@MarkDanov]

Closest I've gotten is to use LFOtool (plugin) which is basically a volume envelope that can be triggered by a midi signal.

[@SeidGibbons]

you can use it to trigger the sidechain, but have the output routed to no bus. simple way would be just duplicate your kick track, and remove all output routing. very handy way to have more control over your sidechaining

[@thedefector6153]

Yeah, he's basically good.

[@PlasticVibeMusic]

Legend

[@NATmusic27]

wow, just wow

[@embx8032]

what's the best way to make your transients mono ??

[@DanGerrousRobBery]

Noisia generally layer drums. For example they have a snare transient. (just the attack) then layer it with a tail of a snare... Hope this helps.. note: Make sure when layering samples that they are the same pitch! You are welcome

[@DanGerrousRobBery]

you can then make your transient sample mono in your DAW or by using a third party plugin

[@tobykiefer7086]

Good stuff

[@theon3__]

good man!

4:19 Are you fucking kidding me that sounds way better, so Noisias secret is stereo mixing ;O

[@pcmaster888]

9:24 what? just make everything mono? :D

[@pcmaster888]

btw I think he meant Stereo for the Transients, at least that makes sense in context of the stuff he explains afterwards

[@edrevvvv]

Transients and body( low/ mids )mono. High frequencies of the body in stereo

[@jsadecki1]

Ah but can you do it under water?

He could do it blind, underwater and without using his hands
