After watching some of your videos I realize that 90% of what people teach on KZbin is mostly wrong or miss guided. It feels like they want to seem more professional than they are. Or that for a bedroom producer it dossent matter, cuz the songs won't be played in a club, only on their home speaker. =) You are really teaching me a lot, and its easy to understand. Thank you!=)

Aaah, another great tutorial by philip. What a way to start the day having coffe and watching your video! Thank you for using my track 'Inertia', very interesting to see how you analyze the full mix of it. Put things into perspective how another set of ears looks at it :) Learnt some things too :)

Loved your video content. You explained what the tools are used for, what they can do, what they show you, and what each of those things means audibly, musically and technically. Thanks for the content and I look forward to much more :)

I like your mastering vs mixing perspective, in terms of the FFT smoothing. Do you have Metric AB on your master from the start of your production?

Another excellent tutorial.. You show how to use and apply what you are explaining. Many others just go down a list of what they can do without showing you how to apply it.

@pickyourselfofficial Жыл бұрын

"Show don't tell" is something that I've learned from one of my mentors. I try to apply it as good as I can :) To add to this, I do my best to then also tell the "why" behind it. My hope is that the people who watch the videos adopt the mental modals (if they want) and immediately implement them. Thanks for noticing and for your kind words. I really appreciate it!

@@pickyourselfofficial One more thing--Metric AB has a new version its Beta testing. It's amazing. I was lucky to get to test it because I had some issues and they sent it to me. You might try to contact them as a YT influencer and get the latest version. I've had two updates and it just keeps getting better and better..

Started watching your tutorials, so far among the best yet so I'm following.... I am producing psy trance but I think most rules work regardless even if there are some universal differences also in between the techno World and (psy) trance.. Thanks a lot for great tutorials!

Very informative, thank you. I have a lot to practice and learn. Critical listening is a fundamental skill I am trying to learn that really needs good direction and explanation with actual sounds to compare so thanks again for some insight there. Any more info with this would be much appreciated. Please release your track asap its great!! (where can I find more of your tracks please)? Thanks

@dnlxl Жыл бұрын

so they lower everything based on the peak LU, I suppose? Or integrated?

@pickyourselfofficial Жыл бұрын

With “they” you mean streaming services? If so, it’s integrated. This isn’t ideal, of course, but over a long, diverse playlist it obviously is the most consistent outcome. That’s why I recommend to master for the right “feeling of density” that a track needs (looking especially at the short term values in the loudest parts, then double checking the rest).

Awesome vid. For some reason the free SPAN analyzer plug-in it's in Demo mode so it mutes audio from time to time. Do I need to make on account on their website ? It asks me to "buy" the software / add a license , but if it's free, how so ?

Have you maybe accidentally installed the pro version? If not, contact their support. This is weird.

Great tutorial! It gave me overall understanding of the spectrum analyzer tool and ways to implement it in my mixing sessions. I'm pretty sure training my ears to pick up and interpret the information will be the more difficult part of the learning process, but I set my foot on the right path 😅 Greetings from Poland, thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Yeah, less theory, more action ;-) Don't worry, you're going to see massive benefits soon and you will get a deep understanding of how everything is connected frequency-wise in a mix.

After using side chaining for years, only a few of my tracks sounded as I intended them to. At least when it comes to the kick and the bass. I am curious on how your method will turn out. Currently I am working on a project and without even using compression or mastering, it sounds really fat and dope. So I hope it will as well after I export it. Thank you so much for your video anyways and have a wonderful day as well

@spurv 3 ай бұрын

Comparing frequency content between your track and a reference track can sometimes be pointless. If for example in the reference track there's an open hihat throughout the song, and in your track there's not, of course the highend is gonna look different. And it won't help to use an eq to raise the highend in your track, rather, it will most likely ruin the balance of your track. Because you're trying to amplify something that's not there. If you really want that same highend energy as in the reference track, you might instead think about introducing a similar (open hihat-ish) sound in your track. Which will take you back to the arrangement.

@ELLIOT8209 3 ай бұрын

why would you reference a track that has different elements from yours?

@spurv 3 ай бұрын

@@ELLIOT8209 I’m just saying, be aware of this. It could be just one element thats different. It might not even be throughout the entire song. In the video, I noticed the exact thing I’m talking about.
