"they are not listening to the drums, they are feeling it" Well said!

[@yankelecom]

This is heavy stuff on a Friday but I think I get it: the ball moves forward= volume the ball moves to the sides= panning offside= limiting referee= DJ

[@musicplaylists59]

harsh, disruptive frequencies you EQ'd out= Vinnie Jones who just got sent off for headbutting someone

[@shayeasy]

brilliant analogy that applies to songwriting and production as well. it’s easy to get distracted or overwhelmed with a complex mix or arrangement, but ultimately it is about one thing front and center at a time.

[@jayemakebeats]

I was taught this "listen at a low level technique" many years ago from an engineer and it works all the time.......great video Streaky. Good luck on reaching your SUB level!

[@maxsounddesign]

Streaky you're a legend. The John Motson of mixing/mastering. "synth line creeping up the left field, carves a space in the midfield, passes to the vocal, vocal receives the focus and runs with it. clear path for the vocals as they weave past the muddy patch of the field. beautiful agility shown by the vocals, passing another muddy patch by the 18 yard box. the vocals slowing the game right down picking a shot and ....gooooal!!!... the vocals really getting the taste of wembley in their nostrils with that one"

[@Streaky_com]

Hahaha excellent

[@photicsonar]

Wow, this by far the best mixing tip I‘ve heard in my whole life!!

[@maeckie55]

one of the best ever Streaky vods, because so useful ! i knew , but someone had to say it clearly. Thank you deeply !

[@Erdnase23]

This channel is pure gold.

[@COSE666]

Awesome as always Streaky! Was just stressing to myself the importance of limiting ear fatigue. You saying to REALLY turn down our monitors is such a phenomenal tip. Cheers!

[@TheDilligan]

I've learned this trick before and it helps a TON. I turn up when I'm focusing on fixing specific things. But if I ever find myself needing to readjust balance, I turn it back down and take it on from that perspective.

[@alexosemusic]

Also, this tip can work well on laptop speakers to see what's sticking out (loud) in between the focal point (loud) what's not.

[@SamuelLaflamme]

Love the way you teach! Cheers

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

Thank you streaky, always great

[@Guitarist33764]

Thanks Streaky! Found your channel the other day. Love it. Love the attitude, the cheeky and serious bits as well. I pretty much mix at a low volume. And turn it up for gut check of how "good" it sounds loud. Cause everything sounds better LOUD. RIght?!? That's why some amps go to 11. Seriously, thanks for showing if the mix is hanging together at low volume and sounding focused and balanced you have a winner. It also makes a great exercise to do this with music one uses as reference material. I'm subscribed and following. IMO mastering engineers are some of the best guys to get advice from. Keep up your excellent work.

[@bassManDavis1953]

What a great tutorial Streaky! Such a great way to explain how to do it properly, yea , yet another one in the back of the net ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

[@victorgabriel-udoh3376]

i can’t stress how helpful this was.🙏🏽

[@MichaelsPaintingChannel]

You're amazing. What a great idea to listen to it with low volume!

[@bdespain11]

Great advice, makes total sense! Enjoying the vids!

[@robertmint3768]

Nothing but love for your videos 🙂

[@LeighDWYC]

These videos are great - and I've even inadvertently learned the summarised aim of football, and I have absolutely zero interest in like any sport. Still good to know you can teach me stuff in every video you make whether it's about music or not. My new favourite YT channel

[@jasonfrancis3482]

👍🏿 Great explanation of how to apply balancing on a mix. Cheers Streaky! 😀

[@SlayerDarkRaver]

Great video amd I love the football parallel. A solid technique as well. I've been using this for 2 years or so. It works on both speakers and headphones.

[@TreBeL1000]

Right off the back i love the energy my dude keep it up

[@matrixate]

Interesting but effective analogy. Thank you for sharing your insight.

[@sebastianleitonmaldonado7889]

Maaaaan that it was!!! I've spent a week trying to make my song sound balanced and only now that I saw your video I was able to do it. Thanks very much dude :)

[@iamredventure]

Thanks for tip! Will utilize this going forward!

[@HolyshescaBob]

Great mental visualization! Thank you 👌

[@LT3D]

Loved the football analogy. It's a great way to put it, the whole track is a team working together to drive one focus point.

[@MacReviewzOnline]

3950 Americans going...what..football..where is the egg..I don't get it? lmao...

[@mystikrebel1089]

An excellent perspective and very helpful

Great tips as always 👌🏾

[@jeffwalker5406]

Brilliant clear advice. I need to be mindful of the focal points of every section of the mix. Cheers 👍🏻

[@craigstyles8455]

Can't believe I'm only coming across this channel now. Ridiculously helpful content man! Big ups 🙏

[@mimidhof2179]

Yeah great trick for balancing... I've heard about that trick a long time ago, seen the dB scale of loudness perception increase logarithmicaly it is a way to compress the sound naturaly to listen to it at very low level, so we keep a clearer apreciation of the ensemble of the sounds in a mix. But keep in mind that for EQ work take care to not be fooled by Fletcher-Munson curve and put the level back to 83-86 dB this trick is only for balancing.

[@robpenningtonaudio]

This is amazing advice!!

[@vxl3026]

Always good advice 🙏🏽

[@PereRevert]

Fantastic recommendations and a brilliant way explaining it !!

[@chrislysiak9561]

Finally, a mastering guy that understands football (and we're not talking about the American hand-ball played fake football here !!!!). You got my loyalty for life my friend :) BTW, great video and great tips!

[@alexei-dostvinogradov7080]

Thank you for your job!

[@EISERMANN80]

I remember doing this in the mid 90s, figuring out what I hear first from headphones that were just laying around. Cool to find this technique in a mixing video today!

[@lamellmatthews]

Much appreciated 🤙🏽💯

Amazing mindset tip. Thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lucanjones5351]

Thank you much appreciated

[@Keroser1983]

Perfect metaphor and cool stuff. I knew this technique but could not get used to it. Seems like I need to get an habit out of it. Thank you Streaky!

[@cbankn2628]

You are the best short video (S) Awesome informations ,u are CHOSEN

[@okidot]

Fantastic - something I was eventually intuitively drawn to as I started to understand the physics of a mix. When I started out, I used think I wanted that balance at all volumes.... boy oh boy was I wrong! You want certain elements to come forward with high volume - and drop off at low! Balance is taken too literally by some people. A mix that has all the elements with equal bias can sound pretty boring. Its all about lead elements catching the ear, and this requires a) a creative understanding of what stands forward in the mix and b) a bit of boldness in your dynamics.

[@richardbradley5936]

Brilliant!

[@kcsounds]

@streaky can you do a vid on how to achieve that vocal sound from Tyra Chantey? Been chasing that sound forever lol

Hi, great video thanks. So any advice on speaker calibration, spl, and pink noise? It seems the level 75-85db is really loud in my small home studio. Any tips on monitor listening levels would be awesome! Thanks for all your amazingness! Have a great day.

Can we get some mix automation tips Streaky? Love to see a video on that. How to give your track more energy and dimension with automation

[@lahattec]

Great talk, Streaky. I wonder if you would apply the same concept to something like 'spa' music, for example. Thanks!

[@-peace4508]

so cleverly said

[@omarr2423]

Man you were serious about staring it all ... thank you for this

[@CharlesK441]

Great analogy Streaky! Ted Rileys Centre back (snare) had aspirations of being a striker! 😆 Great stuff! Thanks 😊 🙏 😊

[@dawnpoint]

I’ve had really good luck going one step beyond balancing at really low levels: I balance in mono too. Also helps expose problematic frequencies and fine-tune EQ stuff.

[@ruhmankhalid6675]

Did you just drag down the fader or do you have to slap some gain plugin and drag it down there?

[@dawnpoint]

@@ruhmankhalid6675 Logic has a dirt-simple "Gain" plugin that also has a "Make mono" mode, and I slap that last in line on the master output.

[@artisticproductionsthearti7967]

This really made something click for me, thanks Streaky 😁

[@schmuckeprinz]

Thanks for the good content! I build up a Homestudio the last years for my own Music but i feel i am more and more interessted in mastering. I always try to find beginner music to master and i dont want money for that. Its just fun for me to sweeten the songs and get them loud and hopefully send a song back that is ready for upload. I thought it is not possible for me to become maybe onetime a mastering engeneer but in one of your Videos you said it is the best to begin for hobby and make years of practise. Before you everyone told me you have to be a mixing engeneer for years to even think about mastering

[@thedigitalsnake]

Nice, not seen mixing presented in this manner but it makes sense, thanks. Some cool songs I've heard recently keep things interesting, supporting the vocal, but you forget the details of the backing, like you say. To notice you have to make a point of listening for what they're doing. Will deffo try this approach.

[@justinbeck4197]

Interesting. Logical really. It's the convergence point of mixing and arranging.
