Thanks for the amazing content as always! I'd be interested in any insights you had on correlations between oscilloscope sample views and the (perceived) quality of plugins. For example, do 'higher quality' plugins produce a perceivable difference in oscilloscope readings compared to 'lower quality' ones when fed the same midi information? The golden rule always remains 'use your ears', yet there are certain underlying 'industry standards' when it comes to acceptable quality transitioning to quality music. Figured knowing a method of determining quality would be more useful than just being told the most used plugins in the higher music industry echelons. If you could make content related to this, that would be great! Thanks for your hard work always!

The sub-low-pass chain for phaseless frequency splitting is a wonderful tip, thanks, Andrew! Would love a video on how to make glassy/marble-ball reverse glitch transitions - for instance, like on Ochre's album 'A Midsummer Nice Dream', or on the Plaid track 'Wallet' - the way it envelopes the drum hits. I'd like to know how to set it up and control it... particularly in Ochre's case. Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing. Greetings from Moscow ❤

Hey, Andrew, how u doing? I’ve just been called about a winning prize by a profile in your behalf. Your name, your official pic, 5 followers… is that really you or may we be talking about some scammer?

I've been making music for 25+ years and have had a career in professional sound design for about 13 of those years. Despite all of that experience, almost without fail, I learn from your videos and they make me want to go make things. I sometimes don't even get all the way through the video before I have to go make noise. A great record makes me want to make records. A great youtube video makes me want to go put parallel processing into all of my songs that don't have it. Your videos are a constant inspiration. Thank you for that.

I've only been making music for about a year. All self taught so not great but I enjoy learning with videos and playing along with them. It's good to know I'm on the right track if I feel exactly the same way as you after 25+

The tip with shaping the bass while paying attention to phase, and the sends tip were golden! I really appreciate that Andrew exaggerates a lot of these effects in these tutorials at first before dialling to taste, because it's easy to hear this way. There's way too many KZread tutorials where the presenter doesn't accommodate for this and they end up making a bunch of really subtle and tiny changes that are not obvious for those with an untrained ear/not listening with a professional setup. So it's no exaggeration that Andrew has taught me the most out of anyone on KZread over all these years, and continues to even today!

tbf the processed side of the parallel should be exaggerated otherwise you're just blending more dry/not fully wet signal in which is phase issues galore

Love your 'forever a student' comment, because even though I've studied music and mixed my own stuff for a while now (by no means as a professional haha), I'd NEVER thought to have used polarity flipping for splitting out lows and highs without affecting phase. Such an awesome wee gem in that piece of knowledge alone! Fantastic examples in this video too! ✌

If you mean the splitter he tried to make with EQ eight and a utility, he actually made a bell shaped EQ boost. Because he put the Utility in the wrong place. You want to put it in the chain called "EQ" not the one called "DRY".

Andrew your production value is world class - both audio AND video

I love baby audio! Out of all of my plugins, I reach for theirs the most glad to see them show up here!

Man thsee tips are awesome!! Huge respect for sharing it for free .. it seems to me that as you're getting more confident in your game and musical brand you're sharing bigger and more complex processing. I mean there are a lot of mixing engineers out there who wouldn't even consider to share any of these things (like the parallel bass process). They sleep on it like it is a treasure they need to guard. It takes a lot of confidence in what you do to share it in detail without being too preoccupied with how you can profit from it or how someone else might "steal" your process. Thanks a lot for sharing. Great stuff!! 🍻

I've been using the frequency split trick for bass sounds for quite sometime. But the idea with a low and high compression/distortion send for mixing is damn good. I will definitely make use of this very heavily from now on. These tips are dope, I hope people will pick them up.

​@@pappasierra703 I always prefer sends on post, as it keeps the balance between dry and wet sounds. If at some point you like how many high frequencies there are in a sound (by using the send) and later have to change the channel volume to improve the mix, your previously dialed in balance would change with a pre-fader send. I did boost both sends a bit with like 3 to 10db so I can go nuts if I drastically want to change the sounds timbre.

Bruh, the bass treatment...going to be my go-to!

Thank you Andrew for the detailed insights! It is the most useful and inspirational video on mixing that i have seen so far! lots of love to you ❤

Great tips Andrew. Love the MIX POLISH tip in particular. Been in the industry for 30 years and still learning from you. Many thanks.

Thanks for the hard work in getting these videos out! Much needed tutorial!🔥🔥🔥

Andrew, What a amazing new background lighting you’ve got over there! So atmospheric 😍

Excellent breakdown of parallel processing. The depth of your knowledge is crazy. 👊🏿

Always love seeing Andrew in the background when Andrew is talking… great video as always!

This video is amazing. Really see the value in using the rack over sends now.

Always a great day when Andrew uploads!

YES! ive been struggling with mixing for quite some time. thank you

Brilliant! I agree! Base should always be dry, but equalized so that the kick does not get distorted!

Really cool tips, I can seriously improve my mastering and I really need to try some of these tricks out! I really like the lighting in this video and the last one. Also, I am looking forward to last Theory Thursday's follow up video, I can't wait to hear what everyone else came up with!

Assign both cutoff points to the same macro knob for easier adjustment too, and save the rack as a preset :)

Mid side + parallel is my fav

This is unbelievably helpful holy moly

I got super lost in the reverse phase bass stuff but I will have to try some of these. I'd been using compressors with wet/dry mix but I hadn't done separate sends for delay and reverb, for example.

Wow this video gave me even more drive to create then usual. Once I get more time on my hands I really want to rediscover music creation and I'm thinking about buying a first analog synth once I figure out how to easily send it midi or sound from a daw and bring the sound back at the same time.

You are the best. Thank you so much!

BABY AUDIO PLUG INS ARE SOOO GOOD! I use the spaced out plug in in almost every track

awesome tips...thx so much!

This was a great video for parallel compression. Finally think I can understand it

A lesson on how you set up side chains and frequency blending would be helpful. This teaching format is great, thank you!

As always thanks bro, genius!

Thanks for the great video! You rock!

Absolute gems

Great examples, Andrew - and clever product placement from Baby Audio - I just bought IHNY2 immediately after watching your video 😂

Ah man I'm in love with that pink light

Eyyy I'd been using some of these tricks for a hot second but never had any terminology for it haha. Thank you! I am going to have a way easier time explaining to students why the mix knob on a compressor / FX / etc. is so important lol. Phase inverting the bass EQ is a super neat trick 😮 Fantastic saturation on that master 👏

This is extremely valuable info dude. Thanks for sharing this with the world for free haha you rock.

I came up with this idea or something similar independently earlier this week and have been having tons of fun doing a generative twist on this in VCV Rack where the computer decides which FX to blend together. That’s how you know it’s a good idea- someone came up with it before you did!

Great video. Thanks :) 💜

Amazing tips, thank you

These are the lessons we actually need. Yeah I can record and mix... But processing signal levels and effect chains is hard! Cheers champ!

I STILL LOVE UR SONG “pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows!”

game changing. learned something special

thank you man you are the best

I go to Full Sail University and this is one of the first things that they teach in my degree program. Utilize sends to put all the effects in (minus dynamic effects like compression and such)

That phase trick is priceless

Just wanna say the studio lighting is a VIBE

In ancient culture there is a compliment to the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire. Those are the 4 states of the elements: hot, cold, dry and wet. Ancient science!

Hell yeah 👍 fantastic video

Almost everything you talked about in this video is suuuuper super simple in FL Studio, all effects in FL have this Mix knob automatically. Also the phase stuff is really easy to do in the basic sampler in FL

Thank you, my friend!

Patcher in flstudio is so powerful for this, i like using it to isolate the delay for sounds

New York compression is specifically adding a high and low shelf EQ to the paralell signal.

SHARING SECRETS?! Love this! Ableton is not great for send flexibility as you only have 12 for the whole project, so duplicating tracks or using the effect rack is incredibly useful!

I own all of their stuff and its amazing!

Autotuning the reverb sounds interesting. Gonna try it out!

The Spacestation Thou 🔥

Oh oh Andrew's messing with time crystals again

9:05 This is funny, because is other genres the opposite is usually done! In metal, the highs and mids are often distorted , while the lows are kept clean but are heavily compressed. This way you get a very agressive bass sound, but you get a very stable foundation in the low end that doesn't lack clarity.

I think it's very smart to do more extreme examples. Sometimes you see other people trying to do very *subtle* stuff and the viewer might not always pick up on that because 1. They don't have the ears you do. 2. It gives of a more genuine understandin for beginners trying to learn the basics, rather than making them do it like pros. -which they aren't.

The phase flip trick for splitting the signal is next fucking level, I've seen so many people recommend this "signal split" idea but I'd have phase issues every time, also stuff like this is why I mix in Ableton, imagine trying to conveniently do this in protools lmao. Thx a lot Andrew!
