Kygo's Full Process for Mixing & Mastering #1 HITS

[@joeb336]

For everyone saying Serban Ghenea masters his tracks -that's true and Kygo says in the full course before starting this process that nowadays he's sends his tracks to a professional masterer who does it. But he showed us his process when he was just a bedroom producer making remixes. It's still incredibly helpful for people who have no idea what the fuck there doing

[@yuli8897]

serban ghenea it NOT a mastering engineer, he is a mixing engineer, mix and mastering are 2 different things, most of kygo tracks are mastered by randy merrill from sterling sounds and that's because of serban ghenea, randy master a lot of serban ghenea tracks hes like a legendary mastering engineer.

[@danic.3760]

The incredible thing of this video people don't see, is the massive layering, 4 different sounds for the snare, around 10 with pianos and other sounds for the melody, etc... That's how you make your music unique. Mixing & Mastering are things you learn through years, and if you are good and lucky enough to make money with your music, paying and engineer to do that for you is the next step, the goal, so it isn't anything to be ashamed of.

[@bencawood]

This is a great tutorial that gets straight to the point

[@joshclark8639]

So I was doing EQ right all along 😮👌🏻

[@heartshinemusic]

TIP: Turn off the analyzer in Logic EQ when you're done analyzing, it saves you a lot of CPU power because all those EQ's add up.

[@jojofogarty]

never thought about this thanks!

[@fuzzfaceflaco]

I appreciate you.

[@gualzofficial]

good to know!

U guys r really helping us all out, thank you. Kygo forever❤

[@solomonomusic]

Kygo is my biggest inspiration when it comes to production! love these videos, need more :)

[@Studio]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@iammusicp]

if you use filtering on the stock Logic Channel EQ, you should definitely turn on HQ (oversampling).

[@pawewawrzenczyk1762]

Serban loves it!

[@bfdavdb]

It’s very surprising to see him mixing everything in solo and not even hearing its effects in the mix 😳

[@apenasporserapenas362]

this type of video is just the vitamin of youtube, amazing

[@Studio]

Glad you liked it!

[@francesco.17]

good video, we need more videos of kygo!!

[@Studio]

More to come!

[@jeffrey2528]

Love the fact that you are helping people out bro. But how do you manage to have the piano's and synths all in the same frequency range and still have it sound good. When I try that, mud, mud mud mud, and masking.

[@iansykes5711]

Because he is using the same sounds since very beginning, in this case he use nexus ( Sunpiano and ballad ) One is wide and open and the other one is more dry and in the middle, he knows both are in the same frequency ranges but they are not competing and they glue together so well, this is not an exact science. That's why sound selection is very important, you have to know your style in every single way possible. He is a master in Tropical house, as Loud Luxury, We Architects or Mike Perry. They use the same sounds in their songs since very beginning.

[@sj4267]

I recommend listening to Andrew Scheps for mixing advice. Been getting lots out of watching his feedback videos.

[@SyntheticZenfreq]

The cpu power 🔥

[@jordanquillmusic]

2nd audio engineer or not, Kygo's still got very worthwhile advice to listen to

[@mrfleamino9350]

great ,thank you

[@Studio]

Glad you liked it!

[@Blepherk]

Big mistake i do in music production is focusing on mixing while ignoring sound selection, arrangement, melody, songwriting, sound design etc.

[@musicandmusic9796]

Sound selection is key - next is few and I am saying few. I have many plugins and I end up using 90% of logic plugins anyways. I have few I use non native like ni bus compressor, free massive from Valhalla, ott and this is it. Synth just serum

[@ganyimiklos]

This is polishing,house keeping, before pass it to Serban.

[@rako4869]

Kygo thx❤❤❤

[@mattpridgyn]

i love kygo but let’s not pretend his mixing and mastering process isn’t ’send it to serban ghenea' ☠️☠️ (he still has good sound selection tho which is arguably most important)

[@listenfidi]

Yeah, I feel like the majority of the artists try to hide their mixing engineer's, because it makes so much difference

[@yuli8897]

exactly,I hate these courses. he literally expend 30 minutes high pass filtering sounds and then add a maximizer in the stereo bus and boom that's it.... rookie producers gonna feel so frustrated when they do this same BS to their tracks and heard that's not enough to make it sound good, even tho all his tracks are mixed by serban ghenea, kygo knows there's no way you can make a good mix just high pass filtering stuff it's not only about cleaning. theres so many other stuff you have to do to achieve a really god mixes like compression,saturation, etc etc...even if you have the greates sound selection ever and everything its super clean...

[@yuli8897]

@@adriangaka1941 yes that's the normal way to go in the big leagues, but kygo as a producer has to known mixing, all producers has to be some kinda of a "engineer" too not gonna say they have to be serban ghenea because those are the guy who only focus on mixing they know their craft, but at least deliver a pretty decent rough mix to see how the track it's going to sound and definitely by only high pass sounds it's not going to make your music impress anyone specially labels who are a pain in the ass.

[@alenthomas2264]

😂😂😂😂

[@yahymusic]

lol the way he pulled up ozone i knew he didnt master his own songs

[@victorrabeloficial]

The Basic of The Basic! This is from Kygo noob course!

Very usefull tutorial!

What is this song name？ Where can I listen to the finished product?😮

Love out loud kygo

[@takemeseriouslyplx2124]

Mixing is so much fun, mastering sucks tho lol!

[@BARRIENOFFICIAL]

Not gonna lie that Mix and Mastering part lacked a ton

[@rishikoriginal]

That's crazy what did i just watched😅

[@branchyapple]

18:57 noooo he just removed the EQ when we the sub from the riser coming in

[@bautistalopez8468]

Good 🔥

[@bluesucceed]

how old is this course?

[@philiplent5068]

Around four years ig

[@SongDifferentVersions]

Is that Kygo's voice ?

[@FuzzFace80]

How is this a course?

[@charlesbarclay8181]

It is a video from the full course

[@tremonjaimoreno2026]

👏👏👏👏

[@dynoprod.]

But isnt Serban Ghenea who mixes their songs ?

[@philiplent5068]

Yeah

[@fedemeyer790]

As always in these videos, the entire process is very simple and amateurish and obviously does not sound like a final song. This channel always teaches quite basic concepts, not to mention amateur ones. You just have to watch Tainy's video. I recommend that if you want to really improve your sound you go to Mix With The masters

[@Luckytechnomusic]

low cut, hi shelf rave repeat aahahaha

[@djzoneymusic]

im the 1,000th like on this video lol😇

[@Studio]

Thanks!

[@alangreen142]

Nah this is not it, high passing everything for 30 minutes😂 so many obvious resonating frequencies in a lot of his sounds to which he didn’t pick up. Lotsa rookie errors in the mixing process, he must have a good engineer mixing and mastering his tracks cause there is no one in hell he got that sound by doing this😂🙈 also no offence to Logic EQ buts it’s filtering is terrible, surely a producer on his level can afford Fabfilter plugins, made a huge difference for me. compliment though, Layering is awesome though, very clever in the way he chooses his sounds👍

[@ShloimyZaltzman]

Slightly confused, first you talk about EQ'ing for mix, than by the master section you say you don't mix your stuff.... Also I could be off but your sooooo gatekeeping all your plugins, opens just an EQ and avoids opening anythinggg else haha... I get you bro!

[@oldtimer666]

Its because he doesn't mix his tracks. In the full course he said he sends his tracks to a mixing engineer also kygo hasnt learnt music production or mixing professionally so it kinda makes sense he doesn't have much clue about mixing. Also, the good thing you can note here is the type of sounds he uses with the presets are already polished and mix ready that it does makes sense he never required crazy amount of mixing in it. And to answer your question he isnt gatekeeping anything just watch the full course he even tells what plugins and which presets he uses nowadays edm producers are way too open they used to be since everything is available online. Kygo mainly uses sylenth and nexus for his keyboards and the sounds he uses are already there when you buy the plugins. The website who sells the course is in wrong doing tbh he is a producer and they should have uploaded production tips in which he is actually good but they wont give that for free lol so they posting this EQ bs

[@tresporros]

red card for 24db steep HPF on each track....I would advise learning the basics of sound engineering and maybe learning about the phase issue when steep HPF applied... Do not trust anyone who in promotes the idea of applying HPF on each track is a good idea....it's a mistake made by bedroom engineers.

[@EchoSoundWorks]

You calling a Kygo a bedroom producer is funny af. He has billions of streams and plays festivals

[@silly8395]

bs,....those tracks are already full professional modern boring edm stems heard and used million times before; cutting lo end maybe adds some 2-3% to the final sound that is already there

[@halometry5523]

Not true that the stems are boring

[@bfdavdb]

This is the laziest mixing and mastering I’ve ever seen lol. Honestly it’s actually encouraging though lol

[@planeguy95]

Those Logic sessions look SO bad - no organisation whatsoever 🤣

[@theatlasdog7143]

most boring one so far

[@sendaisweetie5297]

Thank you! He explained EQ in a way that I actually understood.

[@Studio]

Glad to help!

[@Dimi-l7e]

Now implement that but try to stay away from EQing in solo. Might work if you know 100% you don't need low end on some sounds but they always sound different in the mix and eqing while listening how a particular sound is behaving mixed with the rest is most certainly much much better approach.
