This is prime example of: Don't overthink it, just do what sounds best. Mixing is really subjective topic but I think we all can agree that regardless of the genre overall volume balance and making space in frequency spectrum are the fundamentals. Many people like me in the past thinks that they need to have certain mix chain to mix certain sounds, complete bs. Just make a track based on your likings and while you do countless of em , try different approaches to see what fits you for wanted result. Quantity creates quality with proper self-reflection.

[@KingSolomon1111]

Another good tip is to occasionally throw your whole track into mono and give it a listen because it can help you hear frequencies that could be clashing that you wouldn't be able to hear in stereo. A lot of smaller speakers like Bluetooth speakers, phone speakers, laptop speakers, etc can sometimes be in mono and when you play your song through them it will sound way different than on bigger car or studio speakers. This small trick can help you get a more rounded sound on all devices and help your mix sound better, because if you can make your track sound good af in mono then it'll sound even better in stereo.

[@hejsans1948]

Late reply, but how do you put the whole track into mono on FL?

[@off_lineofficial]

My little tip to help you all: Once you set up and have organized an entire project, save it as a template and use it every time you start a new project. Once you get your skill down and the ear for mixing, use your best completed track as a template. That's what I do. I'll take an entirely completed track, clear out all of the old patterns and audio clips, and change what I need as I need to. Gives you a huge headstart. Trust me.

[@james.1994]

i wouldve never thought about that wow thats a good idea

[@Burglecutter]

FL just lets load the template. No deleting needed.

[@Franktasy7]

Wow great advice! I can change over the loaded instruments and samples and go from their which would be quicker 👌

[@outrospector]

Exactly! that way you have a consistent sound and never have to start from scratch, just adding some few tweaks as you learn how to improve your mix

[@Franktasy7]

@@outrospectorso we should finish a full track and the full mix and save it and go from their but just replace the sounds,samples,fx,melodies etc...?

[@_NagaMusic]

My advice on this topic is simple...listen 👂 use your ears .....there is no right way or wrong way to mixing but rather its the undertrained ears that creates a bad mix even with the best tools or equipment ....learn the fundamentals (eq compression reverb delay panning automating the loudness and theres more ) and you be the judge on what tools will make your sounds more pronounced and prominent in a mix without muddying it up...but again this comes from listening to lot of music and breaking these mix down as well as practicing to mix. Another very good suggestion is to ask yourself "why" i need to do this before reaching for a tool for eg. Compressor or EQ, if it sounds good it sounds good, just because tutorials showed to slap on a compressor doesnt mean we have to. Just have fun mixing try out what approach fits you the best for "your" style of music which will help you achieve cleaner mixes. Last but not least very underrated: it all begins from choosing good samples, sound design and or good quality recordings which sets the foundation rather than eqing things for hours to make a bad source sound to sound good. Happy producing cheers folks! ❤

[@hugot8226]

One thing that so many people don't understand about mixing : it's not about getting a perfect sound or going for a goal. It's as creative as the track creation. YOU decide what you want to ear more or less, there's no external truth about it.

[@WeissAdvice]

You know, I am an "expert" mixer and I gotta say this is pretty good advice. Although, you don't really NEED to make your low frequencies mono. Don't be afraid to experiment with stereo bass, it can actually work really well. But, yea, mixing is just an extension of the production. It's just an opportunity to refine things and bring out the ideas that are already happening in the production phase. Find a system that works for your production, keep it simple, and let the production do the work and that'll get you pretty far. Most label execs don't care too much about "the mix." Dave Waxman at Ultra is probably the most honed in on mixing out of any exec I've worked with, and he's not like crazy about it (he just has a really good ear). They just want to hear music that makes them excited.

[@kisstherajn]

wait, are you saying we don't need to make the sub frequence (below 200hz ish) mono only? I understand you can have stereo bass, but the sub tho?

[@AaronWOfficial]

@@kisstherajn he is saying in tl;dr that you do not necessarily need to make your low frequencies mono, and sometimes it can sound better in stereo it depends what kind of bass track it is. he is not saying it is wrong to make bass end mono, its just not essential for every track. To elaborate a lot more on this. The reason a lot of mixdowns tend to put bass end in mono, is it makes the bass sound more prominent in the track since it is a lot more centered than it would be in stereo. However, having stereo bass end with the right tweaks can sound better on wide-type bass sounds. A good example would be those energetic big room bass sounds you tend to hear on uplifting trance music, they will usually have some form of stereo enhancement to widen the sound and make it cover most of the mix, and then its just a matter of eq'ing other sounds so they do not fight the bass. There is a cheat you can do for this though which uses a mixture of both. You layer a very basic subby bass underneath your main bass, cut out all of the frequencies above the sub bass range so you end up with a pure sub bass layered underneath, you make that sub bass layer mono, and then you cut the sub bass from your main bass and then apply stereo enhancement to the main bass. Once you have all of that set up, u tweak both your sub bass and main bass eq so they bleed into each other just the tiniest bit (this glues the bass together a bit). What you end up with is mono sub with jus a little bit of the upper low end bleeding into the stereo sub, and the main bass with a little bit of the stereo sub bleeding into the mono sub. It takes quite a bit of time to get it sounding right, but once u done it a few times u do it without even thinking about it With all of that being said, making all sub bass mono is good practise, and usually yields good results. So props to Fiko for this nice tip

[@kisstherajn]

@@AaronWOfficial I always thought that the reason you put mono for the low end not only it results in a cleaner sound but also it sounds better for a certain speaker setup. So basically, it's a good practice for 9/10 of the times for most genres, except for the 'bass heavy' ones or experimental ones.

[@AaronWOfficial]

@@kisstherajn you are right, it will sound cleaner because the bass end is more central in the mix the bass will cut through the other frequencies in the mix more and have a more dominant presence. and again you are right about it being good practise. but stereo bass is underrated, if you can get a stereo bass to work well in a mix u end up with very wide and warm basses. Only would advise doing this to more advanced DAW users, and again it is highly dependent on what type of track. For instance, if I did your typical 90's club track with a simple offbeat bass, stereo isn't gonna do shit for that. But if I had a typical long note sidechained bass, with a lot of width to it then stereo may sound better than mono with a little bit of tweaking. I tend to jus work with my bass end in mono, I like to keep my basses pretty simple and work more on the more melodic sides of my tracks. But I have dabbled with wide basses in stereo before, its a pain to set up but can sound pretty awesome

[@kisstherajn]

@@AaronWOfficial Yeah, I sometimes do stereo bass too but I always end up put a low end mono on my master bus because I tend to overthink and don't want to give any reason for my track to 'sound bad' if you know what I mean.

[@Mobbprod]

I liked it , but what about saturation , compression , limiting , soft clipping , every basic tool we got for mixing ?

[@anadenanthera5285]

That has more to do with the mastering process I think

[@ST3PPA]

In FL, I gain stage all sounds to -15db using a minimum gain of -18db. From there I balance, shooting for -6db… then master after that point.

[@macjbeats]

What really helps is mixing on the go. Instead of waiting till the end to mix it, just change the volume, use the eq, reverb, compressor and so on. All of this is mixing (even turning volume down a bit) - all of this is to make the sound fit in the whole composition. Some may say that 'it may be bad for the flow especially if you have a good idea' and I believe that's true, but I also think that there's nothing more uninspiring that having to sit down and just mix for 1h straight listening to the same sounds over and over again. Organization of the track is really great and as Fiko mentioned, asigning every sound to mixer. I also like to name each sound and colour according to some 'groups' like drums/vocals/fx/bass/etc. It makes mixing way easier and comfortable. And the most important thing that many people don't talk about. If you have a sample, let's say a kick and it does sound good - DONT MIX IT. It's so easy to overdo mixing - ofc if you want to make it sound a bit different maybe quieter or louder or distort it, go ahead it's your idea in the end, but keep in mind that 99% of the samples are already mixed (unless they sound really bad). Just asign it to the track even if you're not going to touch it at all and leave it as it is. And of course the question like 'but if i don't mix my kick at all there might be some bad frequencies or whatever that makes the whole song sound bad' may appear. Believe me, you need years of mixing to actually be good at it. I've been producing for 4/5 years and I'm still missing a lot. I think its better to leave the kick as it is, and focus on other things that are truly important than mix the kick, make it sound bad because you cut some frequencies from it and now it sounds flat. I've been making beats for almost 6 months for my new project and my first release got signed to a label even tho I didn't really do anything crazy (as well as all my other tracks). I was just having a good time not overthinking everything and trying to build an idea and a vibe. And while doing all of this, I was mixing. Mixing is hard to master, but the more you practice and experiment the easier it gets. You got it!:) Keep in mind im not an expert, im just sharing what I do usually hah P.S. The kick was just a metaphor. It applies to many other samples like snare, hats and so on. You may want to use EQ on those sound to cut some lows/highs depends on the sound and the vibe e.g. on the snare there might be some low bass freqs that may mess up your mix.

[@iamwissu]

I'd say it's a balancing tutorial rather than a mixing tutorial since it shows only one side of MIXING. There is also parallel EQuing, Parallel Compression, Sidechaining, and Reverb Control... Though, your video is so great, shows the most important thing concerning mixing. If you balance right, then everything is going to be right (Which makes complete sense). Good job Bro. Keep it up

My quick tips for what they're worth: 1. Hi pass anything that doesn't need bass 2. Make quick yes/no decisions and move on. 3. Don't mix in solo. 4. Don't put anything on the master bus for as long as possible. 5. Don't do anything more than 2-3 dB, that's gain reduction, eq, anything. 6. Try to compress each individual track as much as possible without compromising the sound, this can bring up the loudness a lot.

I just started watching your video, and after one minute I could tell you made a great video and that you’re a good dude for organizing and presenting your knowledge to the people. Now I’m gonna go listen to your music, I am now a fan.

Lol if you produce with already compressed and mixed samples, yes, it's that simple. Let's have a discussion when you mixdown any accoustic music. Then.. my friend, it's not that easy :)

[@RealHomeRecording]

Hehehe! Yes indeed! Mixing sample / electronic music is definitely different than mixing raw non-EQed and uncompressed tracks!

[@GIANTSKY]

best comment. 🙏

[@BigStereoVR]

Skirmantas, I don't understand. The mix stage is mathematics. Gain, compression, expansion and eq are all governed by the inverse square law at this stage. Reverb and delay are governed by room area. Math takes hours to days of guessing out of the work. It should take less than 20 minutes for you to fix anything that sounds out of place, after the math. All mixing is easy.

[@jomesias]

@@BigStereoVR this does not apply for modern metal. Instrument, instrument buss and master buss compressors later you still have to eq EACH DRUM INSTRUMENT (kick snare toms etc) and then snap the kick bass and guitar to fit in the pocket! Then apply saturation for snares. Then using compressors to give the kick and snare punch. We haven’t even talked about controlling ultra lows with Multiband compressors yet. Lol It’s quite a lengthy process, you can get an idea of this modern process on Joey Sturgis’ channel!!

[@CJMattias]

If you create every sound yourself whether synthesized or acoustic, it requires a lot.

i used to think mixing was a much harder to learn thing than I had imagined but watching this video taught me that im waaaay over thinking it. thanks for the advice!

[@dmks2146]

As an engineer I'd say you're doing it right. Mixing is balancing energy. EQ is just a frequency dependent fader. Compression is like a dynamic fader. It's not rocket science. The most important part is to have a (good) monitoring setup that allows to judge correctly so that your balanced mix sounds balanced enough on other playback systems.

[@JJLofficial]

Great tutorial!!

[@KemetOG]

There are actually people who just self record & go to the studio & lay vocals & know nothing else about music or mixing so trying to learn it seems so overwhelming. It just seems easy to you cause you've been doing it for a while & learned things along the way.

[@gattekai]

My tip for you guys: You can use the pink noise for mixing too First put the volume down on every channel, than turn the pink noise(it’s very loud so i usually make it on really low speaker volume) than raise the volume on each channel until you can hear it through the pink noise, and that’s it.

Honestly you said it - “the track has to have GOOD IDEAS”. A well written song/beat mixed decently wins every time over a perfect mix of mediocre ideas.

Whatever sounds you don't like, eq it out. Sounds you like eq it in. And then leave space for all instruments in the sound spectrum. And then leave space for vocal. Compression etc isn't even needed most times after a good individual eq

Most pro producers don´t do the mixing and mastering, they send stems and a mixing engineer does the job. A music producer doesnt need to know how you perfectly master a track, you have Master engineers for that. Only if you like it, you can learn it and do it by your self. There are many producers, that are doing it by them self, but I think it´s a total different field. Instead of being creative and putting your ideas into a new song, you need to know a lot of technical stuff and that´s different then making music. You can use a little mastering before you sent it out yes.

Wait... But the compression... Stereo shaping... Image placement using reverbs... I mean eq is great, but I feel it's only the first piece of the puzzle. Corrective eq is only the first effect in a mixing chain. Next you want your technical compressor, second eq, saturation, and dynamic eqs

The more I study mastering and the more I realise there is no perfect answer and its very subjective, if you have fun with it and it sounds good to you then people will like it and they will accept it for the way you crafted it. There are few important rules of course and unless you are working for hollywood movies etc I wouldnt overthink it.

This only applies to non-organic music like EDM which is all MIDI based. Music with real recorded instruments is a whole different story.

[@amaurythewarrior]

yes definitely. this is not disrespect to people who produce electronic music though. but if you start with commercial or treated samples, this is like mixing perfectly recorded instruments.

[@meneermankepoot]

What would change in terms of fundamentals then? I dont know much about this yet and i love acoustic over EDM, so any help is welcome :D

You got a subscriber, great video

[@kilibecher]

I'm totally with you, never understood why people overcomplicate it. I guess because "content". Maybe you will run into that issue too at some point XD

Fellow producer εδω, φιλε μου με αυτο το βιντεο μου ανοιξες τα ματια, παντα φοβαμαι οταν φτανω στο mixing stage αλλα βλεποντας το βιντεο σου καταλαβα οτι πολλα πραγματα ξεκαθαζονται στην πορεια οσο προχωρας το beat και δεν θελει πολυ σκεψη αλλα πραξη, πολυ ωραιος!

Nice tips! I find using a decent mixer recorder than import into a DAW and clean up helps my workflow. I hate living in a DAW and hate using DAW software. Prefer live playing and record live and mixer recorder has tools to do it live and dump to an SD card and clean up later on in a DAW. KISS principle at work.

Your sound selection and composition should be such that your track sounds good and doesn't really need any agressive EQ on top of it. It should only be there to refine the sound ever so slightly and to potentially give more space in the mix without taking anything vital to the master out of it. Shape your sound as you produce your track or you'll end up with a bunch of noise that you'll "fix in post when I mix it". Once you get good at producing, you'll find that the mix already will be there when you're done with the composition.

[@SynphamyMusic]

I disagree with the comment that eq should only be used minimally, it's just an arbitrary rule based on nothing. EQ isn't just for correcting and cutting bad frequencies, it can be used as a tool for shaping tone and filters and effects too.
