So guys all right back to part two of this mixing tutorial I'm your host Weaver beats and I'll be taking you through this
Let's get started
All right, obviously gonna need some headphones or come on a drink set up I normally use a monitoring setup
But um
My baby's sleeping. So I'm
Gonna make sure you have a good set of headphones. We're gonna be using headphones
And you're gonna be used to them as well. What I use is a sony MDR seven five zero six
These are great. They're like studio quality headphones and they're like, I don't like fifty bucks or something
So the kind of headphones you can like beat the shiz out of and still sound
still work and
Yeah, you just buy another one when you're done
Folks I left myself some notes here. Try compression try saturation limiting reverb distortion
Alright. Yeah, that sounds about right
it sounds like we could probably limit these drums some like we want a
Little stool, let's use it some Ableton stock plugins. Oh, let's just do compressor. Alright, so we're going to put a compressor in the drums
plan is to compress it and have the makeup gain makeup for the game that we lose and then
Yeah, but should have some full sounding drums
What I haven't around is light for slang of helping
So I'm turn up the ratio turn on the threshold and try both attack and release I
Think I'm gonna do RMS setting I think I should get puncher than the peak setting. I'm correct
Alstom type the dry/wet set in here too. Then we can basically parallel compression. This is a quick way to do parallel compression
So bless Abel's and gods for that
You can always check their before and after like that by turning it on and off
It's great way to check what the effect has done
So in this case, you can tell it's me the drum sound larger
Personally I kind of saw I wanted to do this with stock plugins only but I really feel like I need to do some trash
to to this
These drums here. So imma throw trash to on there get some nice distortion going
I
Think I like the way that overdrive sounds like a
Kind of just situates the sounds that are already there. So I'm gonna do that and then light mix let's go notice
I'm still adjusting levels a little bit. It's fine
I still make adjustments like of the levels and whatnot while you're going through the mix
but it the way the way your mix should be working is you just start out by making big moves in the mix like
Moving the fader just a lot and then by the time you're getting to the end of the mix
You should just be moving the faders to throw a little bit like that. Like just point two and what not work big to small
Like I'm actually gonna cut back on the sidechain. I
Make sure not to overdo it though because I'm trying to make sure it still has a character that it originally had
One thing I'm noticing about this mix I may actually have to duplicate this a sample Channel and then every time it
Every time it does the part with no drums and there's no sidechain. I'm gonna have to play on this other copy of audio track
Cuz I'm gonna turn it down
Pretty simple reason just when the sidechain compression hits it
it makes this the sample quieter overall if there's a hard sidechain like this, so
Yeah, I'm gonna take the levels
To kick a couple notches their wooden truck I like to do is also love some of the instruments to see how they sound together
Mostly just to check the levels if I'm unsure about the levels still is that kind of fun?
I'm wondering the basis still kind of low
Bringing that back yet, maybe notice. I want to cut more low frequencies from this sense. So let's do that
I'm not taking out a copy of the SATA filter the duplicate it control D
Let's do this. I'm gonna duplicate it over to the
To the other sins as well. We'll do that by holding down ctrl and dragging it that makes a copy of it
I don't know it cuts out a lot of the meat there. I
think I might actually
Try bring it halfway
So like 60 60
Talk about that my camera died. I think I might impart to there though. That's pretty much it for a good mix
Oh, yeah, dude, turn off that hollow dock compressor and you got ok, stuffing mix down
I'm gonna do a part 3 though and then part three. I'm going to further analyze the mix
I'm gonna listen to it off different systems good and bad
I'm also gonna show you some extra techniques cool things. I do to make the mix sound even better check it out next time and
They're all sweeter beats
