I'm a graphic designer & practicing mix engineer. I'd be happy to update the Mixing cheatsheet for you... just throwing it out there. Thanks Jordan for this brilliant video!

Love the cheat sheet. Ready for version 2 with the piano 😉

While you were saying "piano is not on my list" I was writing this info on the list lol. I did security way back at a rock festival for Emery (if we're talking about the same band) Awesome guys. Didn't talk to them much because I was with Brian Welch. Love this series of info. I do future bass. 2 years in.

Been waiting for this forever if you could add this to the cheat sheet. balancing the pianos and guitars are very important. Thanks a bunch please add pads as well along with the the frequencies. Love your channel you do great videos and they transfer to any genres of music. Very cool!

glad you showed the automation for the eq too...definitely what I'd do for the first track on the intro so that it still sounds warm, but then automate the low end cut and the midrange boost when the rest of the track comes in.

My friend, thanks for the tricks. As a doctor, I can tell you you need to rest near the sea for a week, you may be tired. I hope your health is fine and I'm wrong. Respect for your insights, it really helps work on the tracks.

Great share! I still play my upright almost every day! So a lot of what you're sharing here links back through to the natural tonalities of the instrument; 5K Boost ~ Overtones; Sometimes if I'm mixing or mastering I might use an multiband expander here depending on the hammer action , if I want it to poke a bit harder depending on the setup of the piano or articulation of the player; The 1.5K boost ~ Fundementals of 2 octaves above middle C can also be a really useful cut to make depending on how well balanced the pianist can balance themselves in a performance; I often find during fast runs or transitions between chords piano players have a lazy right hand, where they either get a bit heavy and things can get a bit too loud or attacky in that range or it's they struggle to make the movements and the notes are a bit weak and you need to boost them; 100-200 ~ Lot of the body and tone from the bass clef; great overall balancer depending on the arrangement Smart move using the automation into the heavier parts of the mix; those overtones that are present in the piano are a great lil’ cheat to pull through some clarity without over processing

Thanks for the video, really love the fact you listened to us requesting this one. I was quite surprised you didn't mention anything about the area around 500hz which usually is what I always find to be the most problematic for me to tame, but again maybe it's a matter of different contexts I guess, those two piano tracks were nice sounding right away. Cheers

@JoshuaDalviken 4 ай бұрын

Great video, thank you. I've mixed a lot of piano - often in a metal context - and it's been a challenge each time to find those magic frequencies, especially to sit just right in a dense metal mix.

i really like your approach of mixing, people are really afraid of pushing things so much that they do not do half of it and it turns mixing a nightmare for them.

@sgfdancecompany 4 ай бұрын

Great Video. My approach is really similar but with acoustic pianos (and also the library ones) i tent to put the eq in dual mono, unlinking so i treat the mid and lows in the left (also left of a really piano and hand, where this mids an lows are) and the right (where the hi mids and high are) with a different boost and cuts.

Do you send back or not take up sons that aren’t arranged well, or lack a good performance? With this song I feel like instruments aren’t aligned. So do you fix it yourself or send it back? Also main reason for the comment is, how does one build a template? What do you save under a template? I use a lot of samples with my drum kits, only cause the recording quality in India isn’t too great maybe, and I’m also still new to this. Still figuring out my workflow and goto plugins.
