Jaycen Joshua on creative drum mixing
Музыка
Full video available exclusively on mwtm.org/jj-malamente
Jaycen Joshua demonstrates how he transformed drums and percussions on Rosalia's track "Malamente".
This unique set of videos uncovers the template and highly sought-after techniques used by the exceptionally talented mixer. Using a new ITB mix session of the hypnotic 2018 single ‘Malamente’ by Spanish artist Rosalía, Jaycen shows you how he managed to craft a fully digital mix that competes with his original console mix. He discusses and plays the source tracks, then demonstrates how he treated them using his innovative template and plug-in settings. Aside from the technical aspect, Jaycen tells of how his involvement in the project began, the collaboration with artist and producer, his sonic expression through personal taste, optimizing transients and voltage for perceived loudness, mastering, and more. To make this series even more special, we have featured the legendary Dave Pensado asking Jaycen some very pertinent questions about his approach!

Isolating the transients with slow attack, hard compression and putting back only the top end is a genius idea.

Me too. I don’t like using that thing on things because it takes away some of the presence of the sound, but after seeing how he used it I’m gonna try using it creatively
"Sometimes wrong is right"... so true!
"I'm taking away the fidelity... I'm fucking this loop up." And *now* it sounds dope. Genius
Jaycen, thanks! Thank you Mix with the Masters! Y’all have no idea! But yet you do! This is major!
This guy is living my dream, love learning from him ❤️
I need to see this whole video. Every video I've seen on Jacyne hes dropping gems.
Thank you, for the excellent teaching and examples.
I was so lost once he hit the transients and once it connected I was blown away
noise suppressor took it to the next level
Mix engineers: You see I've added subtle compression to this one frequency Color grading: You see I've added subtle warmth to this one pixel Audiophile: You see I've added subtle clarity to this rca cable Wine snob: You see I've added subtle oxygen to this rich flavor Dan Worrall: Why does it null?
1:00 .... poofy..That's my first time hearing that in reference to drums... nice!

Can anyone with more experience explain to me what he meant at 06:19 while saying that MV2 plug-in is basically "a front-to-back panner". How come it can affect depth? Thank you in advance!
@ntcowing
Жыл бұрын
Front to back "depth" is controlled mainly by volume. He's very deliberately only adding volume to the focused transient information so that the perceived volume of that part is much bigger without clouding the mix with all the rest of the sonic information of that track. So when he brings the MV2 in low, and then slowing starts to raise up the volume to taste, he's basically dialing the "front to back" level. Adding the Decapitator and such is next level. It's all super subtle, but when you add up all of his high level, subtle moves, you get superb, Grammy winning records. Jaycen is a master at the craft for sure.

A simple move of how he adds back in voltage and harmonics what he takes away from the raw signal, explained on a different video of his. I use NLS myself and it does add girth to the shape and tone to the things applied upon.
When you realize that those before and after sounds of the same drum, resembles two phases of Kanye West's production styles. lol. Im not kidding, its the only thing I was thinking.
