As far as depth, you could have mentioned how compressor’s attack and release can be used: fast attack cuts the transients which makes it seem farther while slow attack let’s transients through which gives a closer feel.

@@Cymanytb have a drum loop playing, put a compressor on it default settings will be 0 threshold 1/0 compression and different attack and release times depending on the plugin, they dont even matter at this point since there is not compression happening yet, bring the threshhold to 25 30 db and bring the compression to the most agrresive setting 30/1 lets say ( normally you wouldnt do someting like that unless you know what you are doing and using a technique that requires doing that, we do that to just the test how compression will effect the sound, we make it agressive so that we can hear it and understand it better) now you will hear some compression, you can play with threshold there to what it changes but after that put it on the 25-30 range again now play with the attack and relase setting bring attack to lowest, 0ms or 1ms, you will hear that transients are squashed and the loop now is a lot more pushed back in the mix now bring it to 300ms or 1000ms someting you will hear the opposite, it will be more in fron, it more snappy i am not getting into the relase setting because after that there will be combinations involved, low attack low relase low attack high release high attack low relase etc etc and i can explain all of them but be sure that it wont mean anything to you unless you do some testing yourself and force yourself to actually try to hear the differences those different settings make.

With a voice with reverb an interesting technique is to have the reverb in a parallel channel and compress it using the voice self via side chain. This way, when the voice sings loud, the reverb disappears momentarily but it comes back when the voice is lower or silent. Another way to bring the voice upfront, even if it has a reverb.

Additional bonus side-effect (or main reason i do it) of that is it kind of softly 'ducks' the verb so you have audible verb without clarity loss. There's the opposite technique too, using an expander or gate quite famously use on Bowie's Heroes..but in digital DAW days i'd agree that automation is more powerful for big structure changes.

This is excellent! I'm saving almost every one of your videos in a playlist to keep as a reference. Lowering or boosting the high frequencies to give the illusion of presence, or, well, absence, is a great trick. I have for many years now known what the presence knob on an amp does, it boosts the highest frequencies, but I didn't really know until now how it works. That example at the end was great, I really understand it now!

Your videos really take me back to when I studied at the School of Audio Engineering in 1987, without so much mathematics involved! 😁 This video was very simple, but with concepts absolutely essential to mixing. I'm reminded of one of the exam tests, we had to draw our mix on paper, in 3D, and then create that mix on tape, if the tutor hears what you drew on paper, you passed. Another thing that was in the exam that you've touched on in a video is the "ear training", sine waves were played, you had to write down which frequencies they were. You truely deserve your channel name, and I'm thankful for the, much needed, refresher course! 🙂👍

I run true Haas effect in my mixing template. I say "true" because some people refer to the Haas effect as a simple short delay on one channel. While this does create a psychoacoustic effect and does create a palpable phantom effect, true Haas involves inverting a channel's phase and applying a rounding EQ, and then mixing that stereo image back in at lower levels with the channels flipped. This is an excellent summary - subbed.

@jorgepeterbarton

11 ай бұрын

That's more like a full 'binaural' effect. Prob is it adds a lot of extra 'mud' frequency for full mixes as relies on spectral filters.. Haas does refer to a property of delay, in fact it actually refers to short delays and whether we perceive them as phase or dinstinct echoes, dependant on a minimum length for them to be audible. its just that this effect is more often used as a term when describing the phase producing delay (that is not heard as an echo) produced by the distance between ears giving distance positioning

Simple, understandable and comprehensible

Kyle the "pan knob" as you referred to it, is more correctly known as a "pan pot", and THAT name is an abbreviation of "panoramic potentiometer". The panoramic part refers to the ability to move an audio signal from left to right and all points in between, and the potentiometer part refers to the ability to alter the potential between left and right channels (in other words, the variability).

bro I really love your channel loaded up with invaluable content but I really need one thing which is like a roadmap to start learning to produce music like how do I start and learn basics of sound all the technical stuffs like compression eq like how do changes made in a plugin affect the sound what it really does and everything bro . it will be really helpful. I just want to make beats like a hobby

So this was great for me for two reasons. First, I’ve always been frustrated by how “distant” my sound becomes, the more reverb I add. I play classical guitar and love reverb but also want to have a present sound, so it’s an interesting game every time to try to get it right. Second, I like your theory on high/low depth perception via EQ manipulation. I’m going to record some flute and guitar duo music this summer, and so I wonder if I can get the flute to “sit” on my guitar’s sound using this technique. I also wonder if mic placements also help with creating a 3D, more immersive mix, and so if you ever do (or did?) a video about that, I would love to watch it! Thank you for this excellent channel and content.

And don’t forget delay. A very good tool in place of or along with reverb.

You guys can also use this in film making. Instead of plain clear voice (due to mic never change the distance from the speaker) this will add more realistic feel. Indie films normally do this trick

Goat Best

I see things in 3D just like stated at the beginning. Then you want your instruments to have their own space. With the vocals sounding as real as possible like the singer is in the room with you. I love reverb but always send it to its own bus so they are no artifacts floating around. It gives you more control over your vocals. But I think we will be always learning as it is not an exact science and feeling has a lot to do with your final mix.

also check out binaural panning. Its basically using all these techniques in conjunction with each other to simulate a 3D or surround image when using headphones (you can hear on good monitors too but headphones are the best for this). I know logic gives you that option straight in the pan section of the fader (not sure about other DAWs) but there are also plugins that will do this. All of it is just a combination of filtering, levels, panning, and a little phase but the specific algorithm is really interesting and can definitely give that effect. There are also binaural stereo microphones that you can use to capture the source
