How's it going?

Someone once asked Ray Charles how he kept his music from clipping when he couldn't see the meters. He said "I use my ears and when I hear clipping I turn the fader down. " I think we could all apply the same principle.

@@waynevdk1 Well actually this story would apply even more to the digital domain where clipping is more easily heard. And either way, the core principle here is that if it sounds good, it is good. A universal truth.

Yea exactly. On analog mixers back in the 90s n early 2gs, I could hear the distortion n clipping. Then of course you'd hear it when u mix it to a cassette. Wit these digital daws n mixers, I can't hear when it clips. N distort. I can only tell by sight. I would like to learn by my ears tho if possible.

So blindingly obvious once it's explained! Now to go back and adjust all of my 8-bar masterpieces and hopefully they'll sound nice enough to inspire me to complete the songs!

I started stringing them together at random and keeping the ones that sounded good. (:

all these years scared to release music because the sound was weak and I was scared or red..soooo glad I found this..

Several years ago I noticed what I thought was clipping in the meters, but I never heard the clipping. I always thought that was strange. Your video just explained why. Thanks for that!!! Thanks for being AWESOME! I just discovered all these videos and learned quite a bit in the last few days. Wow, this is a game changer for me.

Great tutorial Ryan on the understanding of headroom and the red levels....rock on!

agreed.

New to Reason. It was actually my last desperate choice...but I love it. The DAW, the RACK, is perfect for my brain. Thanks Ryan for putting this together in 2016 so that many of us coming on board to REASON can benefit from it in 2021. There will be a little bonus in your paycheck!

This was BY FAR one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen! Thank you Propellerhead team!!!

I just mixed a song following your advices, and it sounds great! Thanks from the buttom of my heart for share all this tutorials.

Yup, until I watch this video, I was pulling the channel down from the VU meter red position. Never again, thanks for the great video!

Same for me. I've had Reason for 4 years now, and I'm finally understanding why I wasn't getting that pro edge to my sound.

I was guilty of freaking out over my levels on the mixer. Thank you for clearing this up for me. Now I can relax and get back to making music without fear of creating a wall of noise.

I did not realise how much I needed to see and hear this video. Amazing 👏

OMG, this is probably one of the most simplest yet effective ways to really bring my music recordings up a major notch! Thanks so much for making this video!!

Very informative! Keep up the great videos!

These tutorials are really great. They are really well presented, well explained, and they don't waste time. Thank you and please make more like these! Super helpful!

Thanks for this tutorial, I have been confused about this for years!

Thanks a million for this video. You have just opened a horizon of possibilities for me. Respect.

I love (and miss) these video series!

This series is quite possibly the best series of videos I've ever stumbled across.

I really do appreciate Ryan's Videos. Video Production. It's cohesive and to the point. I truly enjoy them. Thank you!

Very informative and another great video. Keep 'em coming!

Sheez these tutorials are like the best on the internet and makes me want to stick to Reason even more. Please never stop these series Ryan!

Wow!! Thank you!! I, coming from an analog background, came back to what I love and hit a wall with the digital world of production and engineering. Everything I did sounded so thin. Well had i not tweeked the life out of my works in the mixer channels... outstanding info bro!! Thank you!

"The thing about mastering limiters......" - Albert Einstein ... LOL! Great vid as always! XD

Possibly the best Reason video I have seen.

Love the perfect montage and design in this series of tutorials

This is the finest video on this topic I've watched. I am very guilty of smiting down a mix channel because it sees red. Its something I've always done with DJ'ing, I'll keep my EQ's flat and just boost the volume until it sits neatly in the amber. But this video is essential for folks like me how know how make a tune, but not really know how to improve its sound.

Very good video ! I learn a lot and it's really fun, thank you.

This is way more important than you think, sooooo many people get way confused about volume and gain staging the final bounce etc.. this video is great.

Broh. All of your vids are phenomenal, but this one really helped me. Thanks for breaking that all down.

thumb up for it even I didn't watch it over. I know the quality of this guy. now I'm watching...

You explained it so easily! Your tutorial was great, please keep on doing these great vids!

Nice explanation, thank you for this video. I think I'll rewatch many times in the future.

Such a great tutorial. Thanks Ryan

Thanks for "turning on the lights" for me. I had assumed that this was true when adding output buses because almost always when I output several channels to a new bus, it would end up in the red. I figured what good would that be if it was now clipping (and it didn't sound like it was clipping). But now knowing that all channels are not clipping just because the level is in the red is a HUGE piece of knowledge for mixing moving forward. Great video!

Another great video! This is an amazing tutorial series. Thank you Propellorhead

Such an eye opener bruh!! Great job as always 🙂

Thank you Ryan and Propellerhead -- GREAT info for those of us just figuring these things out!

these videos are immensely helpful, thank you

You might not have envisaged doing this tutorial, but for someone who's been using reason since reason 1, that was very revealing. And sorted out a confusion I'd had between channel strip behaviour and master strip behaviour since the beginning. Thanks!

You are literally the FIRST person I've met that has FINALLY agreed with me on this! In fact, I've had artists turn away from using me to produce their songs because they fight with me on seeing red LED's. Mind you my music sounds 10x better, more clearer than the "Producers" that they end up giving their money too.. I have subscribed, and will finally start pointing out this video to all my nay-sayers I've met over the years of producing music. #MISTA808

Go team Red!! ;) This video has been really useful for me too because people still comment on my other videos about red LEDs they see and now I can just refer them here say "go watch this and then come back and say you're sorry." LOL And you know how I already know your production is good? Because you've already displayed your convictions to trust your ears and instincts instead of book learning and internet myths. Well done and thanks for the subscribe! /ryan

Love all your videos. Thanks!

perfect timing, needed to learn this!

As always, so well explained! Thanks for this :)

Great video! Now I can spend more time focusing on the music and less time (or no time at all) worrying about levels. Thanks, Ryan

the sound of the levels is most important... listen more look less. have good monitors, and a treated room and you can be accurate. which is what you want. LEAVE as MUCH headroom for you mastering engineer... to crunch out the last bit with the nice expensive gear they have... which will make things sound VERY nice :)

Anyone else give a hearty chuckle around 09:54? Magic...

Nice tutorial - What isn't mentioned here is the RMS level and using reference material as a good guide to setting "How loud" something should be. At @9.00 - Many ozone presets recommend a certain RMS level at input - usually -12 dB RMS, -3dB peak - which I'm guessing the RE version doesn't show, so ideally you'd have a pre-gain knob just before Ozone, set that to get to the recommended input level , then your Ozone insert (to get the most out of the maximizer without sounding squashed).

I learned soooooo much from this video. Thanks a ton. Once again Propellerhead shows us why they are in an untouchable league of their own.

Reason 9 + These vids has changed my musical world. Thanks guys.

Well that was just a great myth-busting crash course in digital audio. Thanks!

Wow, such awesome explanation!

Thanks for clearing this up. Great vid.

Again, another great video. Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

This video makes me smile!

THE BEST VIDEO ABOUT MIXING I VE SEEN IN MY LIFE

very precise and nicely done

Simple gain staging tut please! you make all of this so easy to understand and I don't even use reason!

Superb video guys!

Thank you for explaining this! This helps a LOT!

Amazing video, very informative and hilarious as always, you guys are great!!

Thanks a lot Sir, for this great video, that certainly is not just for me very helpful!

thanks for the info. I pull all of my channels down til I see no red. but now this video has changed that...somewhat. I've learned something new and hopefully my mixes will be better for it.

Ryan. We definitely need you more than once a month :(

This is super helpful!Save my tons of time!!Thanks,and also this video is soooo good!!

thanks man ,great video as always!

Amazing video- thank you!

Great, awesome, super informative, and helpful video. Thank you Propellerhead!

Great vids, easy to understand and no bullshit! Have used a few tips and tricks from the series, mixes sound much fatter now! Thank you!!

Thankyou so much for this explanation. I'm guilty of leaving my master fader at 0db and having all my channel faders way low down for fear of clipping in the mix bus (a habit from using low quality hardware mixers in the past). Not that my mixes weren't bad, mind - I just gave myself less headroom to work with. I'm gonna try and force myself to mix differently from now on :)

One of the best videos ive seen

Awesome! I love your videos.

I barely hear at all after years of mixing in the cans/headphones. So it's all good. "What? What's that you said/played" lol Thanks. Great videos. Makes music production fun again like the we all started out and didn't know a fader from an EQ. Thanks bro.

This lessons helped me a lot. Thanks!

Awesome! No more fighting the dreaded red zone for me! Keep up the great tutorials :)

OMG! I needed this!

Love these videos! They help a lot! I'm an aspiring music producer and I was wondering if you could do a video on getting that "full sound" in a track. More specifically panning and getting depth to your sound and that sort of stuff... all while giving an artist room in a track. I'm looking for a way to transform from making beats, to making instrumentals. I bet Justen Williams could help out a lot too, after Sallie May Back.

Great video, TNX for sharing!

Great tutorial! No wonder my rough mixes never sound distorted when I export them! Really useful information.

Reason is the bomb dude.... gotta love it!

I was having clipping anxiety just yesterday haha. This video gave me an idea for a refill. Call it "Bit by Bit," a bitcrusher that can go from 1bit to max by increments of single bits. I imagine you could get some versatile clipping out of it.

Thank you very much. Im all the way back in reason 6 but I can still produce radio quality songs with it now that ive worked in the same program for almost 11 years. im thinking about upgrading soon to get all the new toys but for now im glad with what I have now. Had the clipping issue and would reduce the volume on all my levels but now i dont have to worry thanks to you. Subbed.

Ryan keep up the great work!

I never comment on videos...... This one was is FANTASTIC !!!!

Great lesson. Especially the part about don't run mastering plugins like the maximizer while you're mixing. I see everybody doing this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video!!

Oh my GOSH - I wasted days with my maximizer ENABLED during mixing, what a headache - thanks a MILLION

AWESOME ..AWESOME. VIDEO. .!!

Amazing Video ! Even Can Say Life Changing For a Lot Of People !!! Wishing for new mixing videos ... or more tutorials anyways

Thanks for the advice!
