adding reverb to a bus is also a good way to get some glue cause it makes all the instruments sound like they're in the same room.

Am on my way to being one of the BIGGEST mix engineers in Jamaica 🇯🇲 thanks to you bro...

The way these tutorials are just aligned with my thinking process is starting to scare me! We appreciate you Devon #TheLivingWeirdo

You should fr make a mixing course where you teach everything you know(from beginner to utmost advanced) explaining how compressors work, eq's, flangers, etc. Glueing mixes, vocals, etc. Your tutorials are always so good but sometimes I feel confused as to how/when I should know what to be listening for or what to listen for when using certain plugins or effects.

His KZread channel is basically that. If u go to his profile he has a mixing series that walks thru an entire song mix

6:09 great description of what’s happening.

Bro can you do a video on how to mix guitar bass/sub and 808 bass/sub? That would be very helpful 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

So...great video as always. Extra secret pro tip: put the kick and the bass on it's own bus altogether. put a similar processor on the kick/bass bus. the point of this is just so you have even more control overall on your low end. there's no reason to compress the kick into the drum bus when the kick/bass relationship is important. then I put them all together into yet another bus and kiss it with glue compression.

Everyone keeps talking about glue in mixing, but doesn't really explain it as well as Devvon does in this video. The channel lives up to its name! It really did help me. Thanks!

Reaper's folder system for creating busses is SO much better and easier than every other DAW.

Finally dropped my project Self Made last Friday with help from videos like this and advice from the Discord team!! #blessings

you are a really good teacher

Thanks Devvon🙏🔥💯

I subscribed your channel when you had 89k subs like 2 months ago and now you have 117k subs, keep growing and I never miss your videos ever since.

bro wen u explained the slow to med attack with the fast release I could see that lol it move all the way to that spot were its fina hit wit that med creep attack n then quick release pop!! nice video bro full of gems

devvon helps the community so extensively

always on point...always making things simple and straight to the point!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Hope that in the near future you will mix and master an entire song; Hip Hop and R&B

Hi am i ever glad i found your channel, you explain things in a clear prscise way.i started with your vocal thickening parallel compression and haven't looked back

Every time I use drum bus compression for hiphop/trap drums I make the drums more "peaky" - you can check that with an oscilloscope. literally the very very first peaks of the kick get louder, which to my ears always destroys my balance. the dynamics gets wilder which leads to more limiting which leads to lower rms/lufs. instead I would rather try saturation or clipping or limiting on the drumbus. remember those drum sound which we use are already compressed AF and have enough peak information. instead a real kick drum recorded in a drum room isn't that punchy and need more peak so you grad a compressor with a slow attack to emphasize more the initial transient and tame the rest. again remember a compressor is a ADSR shaper. Hope we can help each other out to get better at what we do :)

That's likely happening because of setting too fast of an attack time which is squashing all the transients. If you do set a fast attack its best to use it very minimally if used on a drum bus

Very well explained!

One of the best explanations of how compression works. Congrats!

Dammit Devon! All I can say is I wished you lived in my home town. Your know how is one of the best on the web! Thanks for the hard work it really does help out here in audio land!!!

You're my favorite production youtuber, you are very articulate with your explanations, phenomenal video :)

your tutorials are so short, but on the point well explained :) So easy to understand and contain so much information at the same tim :) Keep Going

I just read about this on Insta and I wanted to know more... Just in time bro!

Great tutorial. Thank you!

Thanks Devvon! Super useful!

Thank u!!! Very helpful as always, God bless ya homie! 💯🙏🏾

You are the best instructor on KZread!

thank you bro hell yea lets go!!

Thanks for the info. I love the effort you put into this channel. Really good content.

Excellent video. Though, something I’ve realised is that many people who have watched this will have watched other tutorials (not even on the same subject) and have adopted other methods of producing and mixing that may contrast what you say. For example, A beat making video from busy works beats said the snare should always be the loudest element. Then in this video (when explaining the compressor) you imply the kick is the loudest and the snare is quieter. Something that may help amateurs is explaining in these circumstances that there are no rules, it’s all entirely dependant on the track as many (guilty myself) take something someone else has said in Other videos as fact, not subjective. I believe this might help amateur producers Great Video Devon, thank you 🙏

Thanks for the tutorial. I’m somewhat new to producing and after watching this video I went back over some projects and experimented with this technique. I found for boom bap i keep my parallel bus substantially lower but for some hard hitting trap (especially with rimshots) that squashed track sounds nice cranked up. I just subscribed, looking forward to watching more tutorials

Devvon, my man with the best tutorials! Where do you typically like your drums to peak when recording and getting the mix started? For instance, kick hitting at -6db

Thank you very much. You explain everything very clearly!

Always got great videos brotha 💪🏿 thank you

Teacher, i have a question🙋 5:48 why should you compress with a plugin when you can set the volume of the kick lower in the mixer then push the volume up on the drumbuss?

amazing tutorial thanks Devvon!

Awesome stuff this helped me so much!!

Love the video! thank you I did have one question I can't seem to find an answer for, in the context of making trap beats; Does a compressor tool go on the mixer bus, or place it on each individual sound / instrument where it is needed?

awesome tutorial bro appreciate the help

You make things a lot easier

Thanks a lot

The RAWE Academy🔥🔥🔥🔥..Suggestion 😅😅 How about you start up a section on your channel called "The Sonics Cheat Sheet Series" where you basically do more simple tutorials like this one, I bet the upcoming engineers will benefit a fortunes worth of information from this. 😃😃 #TeamRawe

Woaw , thanks a lot for this info

Great tutorial 🤝🤝

I can definitely hear the difference. They sound more together, the best way I can describe it. But my question is where in your process of making the beat do you use it? Is this like one of the very last steps? I'd have to think so because you'd have to make sure you're not adding other stuff into the beat or else it might change how you have to mix everything.

A good way to think is to separate production, mixing, and mastering. I fall into mixing while I produce & it makes me never finish beats lol. Definitely a finishing touch step.

@@JoshuaBmusic Thank you. I'm actually decent at mixing except I never grasped compression. I understand exactly what it does, and how to work a compressor. I don't really get when and where to use, or rather whenever I'm making beats 99% of the time mixing, and just thoughtful composition, tend to eliminate the need for it. Yet my beats don't sound good enough so I know I'm missing things.

@@threezysworld8089 what I’ve began to realize is that a lot of the one shots we download are already compressed and EQ’d. The changes are minor & more for getting my sounds to sonically sit right. Tiny cuts. In truth I’m in a spot where I’m afraid to boost frequencies. I need to study that. I saw something that said think of the threshold on a compressor as what’s pulling it forward or backwards into the mix. (I hope that was the right tip, I am just trying to go from memory). So if I have a sound at the level I want it but it’s too forward or hidden I’ll compress it bring it forward or backwards.

Thank you for the insight

THANKS MAN THIS REALLY HELPED

So, I noticed that the Kick and Snare track were parallel compressed, then, you created a drum group and parallel compressed that also. That's not too much compression, is it?

Very helpful!!! ❤

GOAT!

I finished this vid being 120% wiser!

Awesome sauce

Dope tutorials bro. I’ve learned a lot. What other wave plug-ins would you recommend if I dont have smack attack?

thanks boss this has been very help full, can I send you a mix I used this tip to make?

His target audience is for new engineers, so he makes sure to elaborate on every point so its easy to understand. If you want more technique and philosophical approaches to mixes watch Alex Tumay, Mike Dean, or MixedByAli. They stream some mixes start to finish, very useful.

what up Devon

I only came for the beard.

Let me get this clear !! So first connnect all the drum and percussion to single Drum Bus and then signal from the drum Bus as input to another mixer called Drum Parallel

Yo, Devon - love your stuff man... Curious... have u messed with the no latency afx2daw plugins from antelope audio Or microphones... there top notch and phenomenal quality...if u have, can u share your experience or thoughts. Thanks bro keep up that good work

This was legit one of the best and most educational videos I've seen on drums... I would love some insight on how to achieve this with stock pluggins tho...

Should a Clap go to the drum bus as well or nah?

Is there any chance you'll be adding reason studio files in the future too? 😫

Bt headphones to mix and master :O i thought hardwired was better?

Major key was separating the bass from the drum bus. 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Don’t kno why I don’t think of the little things.

شرح مفيد شكرا على المجهود

Do you treat your 808 like a bass or a kick?

Thanks 👏🏽

Good video 📹

Does the drum bus method work similar if I group my drums and do the processing in Ableton?

evertime i try and learn how to use compression i just get so confused lol. i can never remember what does what :(

🔥🔥🔥🔥

hey man recently purchased a waves template and it didnt come with a vocal bus Aux track setup been trying to reach out

Pleaseeeeeee make video on mastering r&b track with waves plugin specially with abey roads tg mastering plugin?? My tracks are not loud specially when mixing two tracks beat how to master them plzz🙏🙏🙏🙏 make video❤️

Hie bro how do u stop hearing urself when recording in protools

So is it wise to send the 808/bass information to the drum buss? Or should just the kick/snare/hat/perc all go on the drumbuss and have the 808/bass be separate on its own channel? Sub bass takes up alot of headroom

@NahTrust

You could try send everything except the 808s to a buss, process that bus to “glue those elements together” then send that buss to another buss with the bass if you wanted - just mess about with it and see what sounds good

yo anyone of you wanna tell me where is the pro tool software

Smash your parallel bus and the like button.

Do you send your bass/808 to the bud?

Depends on the mix. I usually compress synth heavy melodies but it’s very subtle. Anything else no but I do bus them together!

Great tips. But your voice is so louder than the drums that it was very dificulta to hear the changes...
