RULES OF MIXING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION [2020-CAN YOU BREAK THEM?]

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Many techniques used by top engineers break the mixing rules. 1:08 Audio School & my first shock! 3:34 Phase issues 4:16 Printing with Effects 6:18 Going over 0db? Yes, no? 7:44 Analog vs. Digital 7:54 Saturation explained 8:43 Saturation demonstration 9:17 Overloading Analog modeling plugins 9:40. If you're ready for an advanced technique, then please check out this video on Extreme Compression. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmXMZndmos-nj7M

[@nichttuntun3364]

Printing with effect, especially large delays and then experimenting with reversing the audio can result into astonishing surprisingly great sounding, unpredictable sonics.

Okay, Arty, how the HELL hasn't your channel blown up? It's nothing but gold and great quality!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Well I planned on putting out more content during this quarantine. But unfortunately I'm one of the coronavirus victims, And I've been battling fevers for The last 3 weeks and I continue. But hearing a comment like this makes me really want to continue. Thanks so much for the comment 😀

Thanks so much Alex. It's comments like yours that make me want to do it. So more on the way 😁👍

That dark night to heaven montage hit so fkn hard bro😂

[@rawkinj6609]

Thanks for this!! I"ve unlearned so much!!!

[@bigkid757]

One rule I was taught was rather than boost frequencies in an EQ subtract the frequencies around the Fq you wanted to boost, then adjust overall level accordingly.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hey Bob. Subtractive EQ is definitely good advice for certain things. It does sound different than boosting though, but sometimes that's what's needed. Thanks for the tip 👍. -Arty

[@bigkid757]

Hey Arty, I use that technique because if just boost I find I get into a level war with everything else then I start boosting this, boosting that and before you know it I’m clipping.

[@nichttuntun3364]

@@bigkid757 Just boost for the sound you are going after, but keep gain staging level afterwards. Most plugins have an output control. If not put a plugin which has one into the chain.

Another one man! Perfect !

[@stacyOyo]

All your video are gold, some tricks I knew but having your voice to remind them and confirm they aren't bad feels great. Hope you'll keep doing those. Personally strugling the most on reverb, At the end of my mix I offen have a soup of space if ever you have some tricks about that it would be amazing! Best,

[@DT-uq3py]

I'm glad you not only told a story but you dropped major knowledge also.

I just discovered this channel please make more mixing tutorials , I always have very low low mids in my mixes and I don't know why 🥺, also I still cannot find the overall right (kick , bass,) and sometimes vocal volume in the track 🤪.

Thank you Arty.

Thanks Melody man! It's all about the melody, ain't it? 👍 Arty

[@melodyman8484]

@@SkyeLabMusicGroup Melody is key my friend, but that is a talent all by itself.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

@@melodyman8484 Yeah, talent is right. Melody is the intangible 'gift' that makes one set of notes a hit record, and the same notes in a slightly different order, unmoving. Bach, and Paul McCrartney, have very simple melodies that move a person in the first few notes. I wish I had more of 'THAT' myself :) -Arty

hi sir all links doesnt work.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Schlonak Mazine. Shukran. I fixed the links. And you make me feel guilty about not working out anymore! Nice channel dude! Arty

[@ShwekasaurusREX]

Awesome! Thanks so much for this. Do you ever go through sessions where you'll record once with a clean guitar and then again with effects just in case you need to use the clean track in the song?

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

It depends on the situation, but usually not. But with the great amp simulator plugins these days, it gives your more flexibility in the mix, so I understand why you might want to. But guitarists very often have their own sound, and worked hard on developing their own tone. So I try not to stray too far from it. But good question, thank you!

[@darkworld737]

Hey Arty, just found your channel and love it. I have a question about releasing something as a first solo endeavour. I don't have a much of a budget for marketing (300 give or take). How do I get the best bank for my buck? Where can I substitute spending money with hard work? The record is written, recorded, mixed and mastered. Artwork is done. What is my next step?

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hey Josh. Not really my area of expertise, and the target seems to be changing constantly. If you haven't already released it, Distrokid is great for the digital distribution. And this guy Damian Keyes has a lot of good videos on promoting music. Good luck!
