28min marker he’s right about it depends. I’ve made a 808, hard kick and a mood bass line fit in a mix all together without mud or clash. (Larry June type beat) and it worked I didn’t lose any depth but it could be said that each of those probably fit in a different spectrum of the frequencies which made it work

Did it so you don't have to: *Table of contents* 0:54 How to manipulate frequencies that are already there 2:29 Know when to add harmonic content 3:57 Know how to control the dynamics 4:57 Know how to control the transients 5:40 Know how to manage harshness 6:46 Understand sonic relationships 7:50 Don't play sounds at the same time 9:27 Depth in the mix 9:37 Volume 10:13 Transients 10:59 Delay and reverb 12:00 EQ ( Low pass for make it sound far ) 12:38 Width with contrast 13:30 Chorus 16:00 Ping pong delay 16:39 Objectivity 17:15 Know your tools - DAW and your plugins 17:48 Know your frequncies 18:10 Reference tracks 18:45 Take frequent breaks (5 min every hour) 19:20 Mix creatively 20:20 dynamics and movement 21:30 Automation 22:29 Types of listening (objective and subjective) 25:00 Have a workflow 25:55 Have time management 27:00 Mix with emotion in mind 27:50 Understand context 30:40 mix with the end in mind 31:57 Attention to details 33:30 Mix everyday (practice) 34:49 use reference properly 35:02 trust the listening environment 36:40 have an open mind 37:50 embrace mistakes

Thanks for this. Valuable advice. I’m still in the recording phase of a great part of my work yet I find this truly helpful! 🙏

I'm only halfway through and this is already one of the greatest videos on the subject I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll even watch again and take notes. thank you!

You folks are sincerely a gift to my personal experience with creating music from the heart. Thank you!

From a home recorder... thank you for this great video. I have revisited one of my mixes with your advice and it is sounding 100 x better! You have a great way of explaining things. .Well done.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I know it would’ve been a lot of work but I hope it helps knowing it was really helpful.

I've watched countless amounts of these videos on youtube and i rarely hear NEW useful information. most of it is regurgitated points but this was great. salute to you

I consider these kinds of videos a gift. Thanks guys.

This is the most informative and honest video I've ever watched. The clarity in which you described everything was captivating.

great video! it provides a wealth of helpful and inspiring advice in a very approachable way; thank you so much! 🙏

Like your explanation..Also the nails in the bolder..Good job..Thanks

You are the first person i have heard from who doesn't assume we should all know what they are talking about. Thank you, sir. 🤟👌 ❤

This is a fantastic mixing guide 🙂

Very well explained! Thank you!

OMG, I ve been looking for this kind of tips, the way you explains, make this saunds so easy, congragulations for the videos.

Well,,, The very best professional sharing I've ever seen. And clear, and well pronounced....>>>> (I've seen a lot before ! ! !)

you got me with that analogy at the beginning. great visual introduction!

Great analogy. Made a lot of sense

That is a reeeeealy valueable video! Thanks for packing all the knowledge in this one, I highly appreciate it! Again, thanks you, subbed 🙏

Ultimate mixing advises guide 👍

What an inspirational analogy! ❤You nailed it 😂

Brilliant video, sir. Even in my 24th year of production, there are a couple of mixing techniques here that I had not played around with.

Amazing and concise.

This was a fantastic video! Thank you!

Wow! This is very generous information! Thanks!

This is great thanks! I still struggle with mixing and mastering and want to spend more time improving. This video certainly gives me a great starting point

That was so great 👌🏼 thank you for making this 👌🏼🔥✌

thanks, always! one of the best youtube channels!

Love you Dane your the man bro your wisdom is impeccable

Thank you for the class!

Great video. Thanks. I learned quite a bit from this. I’ve done a lot of this stuff in my mixes but as a self taught guy I didn’t know why which makes it difficult to replicate.

I was apprehensive of yet another "N Tips" video, but this was insightful, straightforward, and super useful. Thanks!

You are making the absolute best instruction videos on the internet right now!! 💯💯💯

Number 24: get to know your studio sound on a deeply intimate level. You can do that by not only going to the studio to make music and/or mix ... but listen to music from other people, podcasts, heck even watch movies und documentaries IN your studio ... that way you get a feel for the sound you have and how stuff "has to sound". I believe this is more valuable than having perfect acoustics, which most of people do not have anyway ... even big pro studios don´t have "perfect" acoustics.

That is an excellent comment, getting to know the sound of your space is invaluable.

Probably the best and most useful video i have ever seen on mixing. Great tips amazing educator thank you

Thank you man 🙏🏻❤️ appreciated it 💣🔥🫶🏼 all the tips and your time

Such a good video Thank you!

You are an extraordinary teacher, It is an honor to be your student. I have learned a great deal and look forward to applying this knowledge to my music.

Amazing content. Congrats!

First of all, great work. Thank you! To those watching this video from a purely technical perspective, listen to it again. This time, shift your perspective to improving basic human communication. The second time, I heard advice on improving my understanding and perspective of fellow humans. More philosophical, less technical. This may be another dimension of better mixing.

Thanks much for this emencely educational vidio, it's inspiring and motivational. This video is priceless . I am honored too chosen to be in this free class. Hearts of too you and the balance of your team. You are an awesome teacher Sir. Lytleton Cornwallis Lisson

congratulations. Your intro - analogy- is attention catcher, clear and relevant. As your glasses! :-) cheers! EDIT! And the "nail the mix"! LOL. Awesome, mate

Thank you Thank you Thank You. Very Deep .

Thanks for putting this together

Thank you for this information

This is one of the most helpful videos I've see.

You have managed to keep my attention without showing many examples, and that is a merit ^^ thanks!

Wonderful video! The most important things said in the best way! Thank you! 🙏

Truly wonderful insights - Thank you❗

Explains why Roger Hodgson spent a solid 6 months perfecting Supertramp's Breakfast in America album. Very helpful video: thank you!

That metaphor in the beginning alone made me subscribe!

Could you share us the pdf of 'Mixing checklist'? It would be really useful! Thanks for the tips!

A nice nice nice ! I always appreciate when people know what we producers go through when it comes to combining all the signals in the spectrum able for us humans to hear, quite struggling with it and lots of your words hmz will still be figuring out what you mean but you are a man who understands sounds, I stick with you now firsttttttt subscribing time and listening to you what your smart brain have to say, nice video ! Thanks for the knowledge you want to share with us ! Really appreciate that !

Great video and tips 👌 Thanks

Thanks for this

When it comes to cutting or boosting for me it depends on my ability to hear what I like or don't like in a sound. If I can identify the parts that I don't like in a sound I'll take them away and vice versa. The rest takes care of itself! The result is really the same but it's just a different way to get there

THANK YOU SO MUCH! THIS VIDEO HELPED ME IN SO MANY WAYS I WASNT EVEN AWARE OF!!!!!! YOU HAVE A NEW FOLLOWER IN ME THANK YOU!

Great! Thanks!

Such an inspiring and informative video!

Why can I not stop thinking Caleb wrote this script ? 😅 great stuff Dane!!!

Thank you 👊🏿 very helpful 🎉

Nice tips, thanks

Cant believe i found this😢thank you guys. Came exactly the right time. Thank you so much. I feel so bad for mot having enough money to afford the course cause seems like its exactly what i needed . :/

Very nice video! Tks

17:15 every time anyone asked me how to learn music production, it is a steep curve of learning. I just said learn your DAW or console like the back of your hand, you will eventually know what to learn next.

Finally something that’s not 10 hours long haha thank you 🙏

Some of the things I've thought of: Consider that some things may be "pre"-EQ'd, in that they come with spikes and dips, just based on the context around the recording of that instrument/track. It I think is helpful to have an open ear (especially upon first hearing a track) and consider that there may be profound imbalances compared to what it could be in an ideal, neutral scenario (in the capture of the sound), and making movements accordingly rather than being shy, and listen if the moves really work too. Same for dynamics of it. Knowing that things can come pre-baked with "issues" and being able to solve them without hesitation, and knowing the extent of the issue (maybe helps to do some recording to master this). I guess this is more of a tip for the earlier intermediates. Another tip being, doing the little things that make big contributions to the song being good. That vocal throw, or automating a reverb decay or volume, can tie a mix together, and in retrospect be viewed as an essential thing, so don't be afraid to try everything and anything, and as time goes on you will likely learn when and in what way those things are needed, and execute them quickly and exceptionally well. It can allow for the mixing to open up, so rather than making finicky moves trying to make a section or the song feel good, pulling that snare reverb down during times that's needed allows for good progress for mixing that song. Again, another kind of newbie tip, but once you learn some things, similar to learning attention to detail, you can't un-hear them and these ways open up a new door to likeable mixes in a qualitatively better way, once developed.

Oh man, he's stringing pearls here! Wow

Phenomenal video.

Great video. Very informative. I have one critique. I wish all of you guys in the music production industry would use other genres in your examples. To me using EDM type music source is easy, but in my opinion its not complex enough to illustrate all the transients and harmonics in other genres like jazz, classical, rock, indie, country, etc.

I tend to feel the same way b/c of my personal taste in music. And at the same time, various forms of popular music with these electronic & digital elements is what’s most listened to globally. And in my experience this reflects on what is most in demand for mixing. So it seems like what indo/ed is offered is pretty representative overall. Also, there are plenty of content creators on YT etc who do mixing ed with live instrumentation.

I think that is over complication. Once you learn the techniques in the simplest way you can apply the same ideas to far more complex ideas.

I disagree, because production itself is tied to working with electrics, it makes more sense to talk about genres that work with DAWs on a more fundamental level. Not that Jazz or any other acoustic genre doesn't utilize daws or electrics, but specifically, electronic music is audio fundamentalist music.

@fivebyfivesound

6 ай бұрын

@@LexMassive Agreed that the fundamentals can be applied broadly (hence "fundamental"). But that doesn't mean that a particular mixing technique based on a fundamental concept will work well in every application. I think the point that @jackprice7828 is making is that the synthesised sounds of electronic music have relatively less complexity--or at least variation--than acoustic sound sources. So using electronic music as an example when demonstrating even fundamental principles doesn't necessarily show how the same approach would be applied to mixing acoustic sound sources. This said, most of what is presented in this video--and how it's presented--does seem pretty universal to me. And that makes it great content.

@fivebyfivesound

​@@BVSSIC What do you mean by "audio fundamentalist music"? Isn't audio--that is, sonic phenomena--fundamentally mechanical in nature, as we experience it with our bodies? And then analog and digital sound is a representation of the mechanical which we use to translate, transfer and then recreate mechanically the original sound?

very true

Very good 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great Stuff

thanks sir !

Thank you for video really hellpfull cude u please make an video about how music theory makes songs glue up together ? Would be really amazing to see frome pro view

Hi! Thanks for great video. I was wondering if there is anywhere I can find that step-by-step checklist?

🎉thanks 😊

thank u ♥

Great vid.👌

Great video ❤

Maybe you can share some tips on mixing and mastering orchestral music, which frequently have a dynamic range from pppp to fff. I struggle to render a master with good volume because use of a compressor and/or limiter reduces the dynamic range, indispensible in classical music.

Question: why do you use plugins for your examples and not analog gear?

🔥🔥🔥

💅 ‘d it!!

Very informative, thanks. Haleiwa..12:45 nice. Suggestion respectfully: do a video on mixing a track with mostly acoustic instruments (real drums, Bass, Guitars background vocals etc.) I think some people still do that (smile emoji). Great tools and plugs available these days, maybe too many but Ultimately, it's all about ears!

the daily thing is 1000% accurate. And sticking to its

"so assuming you know..." *_proceeds to list everything I definitely am not good at, cannot do, and don't have_* 😐
