I need your input, y'all! What video do you want me to make next!? Let me know below, and thanks in advance! 👇

Ah yes car speakers, the final boss of mixing

There’s a feature in pro q3 that I’ve been using for a couple years now. put a proq3 on the reference track and hit analyser pre+post. Then at the top name it either ‘reference’ or the title of the track. Then put another instance of PROQ3 on your master and click analyser (pre+post) again. Go down the list until you find the reference and select it. You should now see the reference track as a red analyser behind your tracks analyser. This can give you a better representation of spectrum analysing rather than having two copies of proq3 next to each other. Enjoy

tnx again G, was nice meeting u at ADE, said hi to u after Armin talk at Felix :D peace! 😎

Cracking tips, iam 53 and still producing. and still learning. I remember the days of midi keyboards plugged in to my atari st , its a million times better now with everything as vsts 😀

You have really helped me in everything lol!

Favorite youtuber 🫶🏽

I do my final mixes on just one (!) Focal Monitor. So I have a perfect Mono Source. And for the overall sound I check my mix on a cheap radio. And the magic clue for translation is using a pink or brown noise curve for balancing the frequencies. That really takes out the guess work out of mixing. Thanks for your tips. ❤

This channel is an absolute goldmine!

Use a “grot box” like an old iPod dock. The frequencies boosted on these speakers are similar to car systems. VSX is also unreal for this use.

You are legend bro

Quite funny this, I've choosen my monitors (Kali IN8) because they were great as monitor speakers but also to listen music on. So without knowing your trick I'v been listening to hundreds of hours of well mixed stuff from other dj's / producers. It really helps a lot, you immediately notice if something is slightly off. I love it when a good technique / trick is fun to do and takes no effort 😍 Personally I like to switch between the Kali's, my normal headphone and probably the most used device to listen music on : Apple airpods, another option that's used a lot is a simple bluetooth speaker like for example the jbl ones. If it sounds good on all of them I trust it to be good. And they're all easily connectable to a laptop or pc, so switching is easy. Last check, when I think I'm done, I put the track away for some time, few days or more, then listen to it again and be open to the renewed first impression. Sometimes I really don't like a track and sometimes I love it.

Your resilience is truly inspiring! 💪 -- "The journey to accomplishment is often fraught with setbacks.."

Maybe just my opinion, but going back to the 14 mix tips video showed me once more, I liked the style of the old videos better. No silly jokes and flashy editing, just straight to the point and more serious. Educational value of the content is still as great as ever, but I enjoyed that style better. Regardless, thank you for your videos!

final FINAL mix.mp4 😂 Too true

i know its totally unimportant, but its not "nice sprites and scary monster" but "scary monsters and nice sprites" :D

Great topic and very interesting video, sir! Thank you once more!!

That intro was on point

Ozone 10 is pretty good option too with reference tracks as it grabs them and adjust the eq width and limiting to the ref track you captured

Sounds good on my monitors, screen captured project, post on fb, listen to it on my phone:.... Change audience to only me straight away. Repeat

Excellent video as usually. I know I'm asking too much, but if you could make a video on fixing a poorly mixed track when compared to the reference track. For example, if the stereo width of our track is tiny/too wide compared to the reference track. Same goes for the frequency spread. And one more - how to choose a reference track. Not all reference tracks are equally good IMHO.

Loving the humor! And maybe the great knowledge as well!😊

BRAVO! Very Useful! Thanx!

Remember to set your windows speaker settings to full range.. I spent a long time on "sattelite speaker" setting.. meaning bass distortion/ compensation into the high - midrange. It took a while to understand that typically you want your sound / speaker circuitry to do its magic from a normal full range signal.. the only magic windows gives you is for tiny speakers.. the scary part is its unticked by default.. and easy to miss.. its like that because buying tiny desk speakers at the supermarket is so common..

Tip 5 is great, even easier if you just buy metric AB, wonderful tool

Nice vid as always Will, since when I started dabbling with music the C-64 didn't plug into the car... yeah so somethings to learn here.

Good positive advice Will 👍🏼.

thanks fella thats awesome! cheers

Love From UAE

I really like the trombone sound with the submarine.

This happens on my way to work on headphones and often it'll get deleted from Soundcloud until I can fix it later on

lol love the humour and great tips thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Let's go!

This is above my head 😂

Next topic will be what is the best DAW to use to produce high quality music

that's funny but after a mix I check directly inside my car, for me that's the best solution to find troubles between kicks and bass, or wrong levels....

Cool beanz. One of my biggest fears is that my music wnt soind good thriugh oyher speakers so thisnsi really helpful thanks.

The most important thing is to know your system in the studio. So go along and listen to music (NOT yours), watch movies, documentaries etc. IN YOUR STUDIO ... a lot of it. I mean really a lot. If you are only in the studio for your own production sessions, the chances are very high you will not know your monitors well.

oh, that intro.... nice one, Will, I'm still laughing.

A useful one, but rarely spoken about: DON’T A/B If you’ve decided that something needs compression or EQ (Or both), then there’s no purpose comparing to the raw sound. You should only focus on whether the processing achieves what you need it to do. This is usually why mixes sound bad on a car stereo. Being too conservative with processing because you’re wasting time listening to the original sound.

Will with some great Infos again. Some stuff i do already... like using the headphones for listening to music that i use for mixing...others i need to try out. 👍👍👍❤☮☯❤☮☯❤

I still think you need a solid audko chain. Convertors are SO important. Laltop speakers and headphones driven from that port are going to sound terrible and youll be chasing your tail. It was a world of difference when I got a highend DAC and headphone amp.

Sorry, I hadn't actually watched your vid when I posted that last comment. Thank you and great advice. Apparently a lot of producers are advising against using lots of different speaker types as that can lead to confusion. Instead (as you said) learn how your own speakers/headphones sound with lots of music. SonarWorks??? Would you believe I keep my SonarWorks switched off. I can't believe their response ... seems too bass light. I wonder if I'm alone here. Lots of Acoustic Rockwool around my room though. Keep up the good work. Not sure what I'd like to suggest for you to do next Will. But I'm getting into DnB and though I've watched all your Dnb production video even more would be lovely esp as there's 3 Dnb singles currently in UK Top 10 right now. Amazing, it's more popular than ever. :)

Sometimes I just mix the track through the aux in the car tbh 😂

Downloaded this wifi audio app on my phone and the host app on pc and it streams direct from daw to phone speaker. Decent for spotting instant red flags, call it a turbo mono switch of certain kind

You posted this 1hr ago and you've got nearly 1000 views already??? I'm going terribly wrong somewhere. Well done to you tho Will. :)

I tested tracks in mixchecker and they sounded bad, so I tried loading famous tracks into mixchecker and they sounded bad too, so didn't worry.

I'm producing not sure what kind of gengre. So not sure if there is proper reference track.

what about panning in Mono when you say the whole mix whould be mixed in mono? does this work well?

Everytime! lmao

Using headphones.

Oh will i love you 100% nuff said ❤❤(maybe even 200% 👀🤣)

Hs10 is a sub hs8 are the monitors.

Can you kindly tell me how can we replace the vocal or the instrumental section of a song with a piano voice ? I really appreciate your reply🙏❤️

@EDMTips thanks for your hard work, i really appreciate what you are doing for the community, i am one of a religious follower of your work! and i have to say thanks so much for your tips it actually helped me aswell :)

Left-hand drive car? Something exotic?

Know your room! Best hack you can get. If you listen to alot of music in your room and can train your ears then you can't go wrong. If you have respectable monitors and headphones and familar with your rooms acoustics then you will get pretty damn close. Don't forget Artists have openly admitted realeasing music soley made on laptops with no engineering experience yet they blow up and have massive hits. If it sounds good and it sounds good in your room with trained ears then its gooooood.

So do you think where I get my reference track from is important? If I buy from beatport, aren't these overly loud? Where is it best to get a reference track?

how did you detach the pro-q vst to stay on screen even when you switched to different audio/midi channels? please explain!

Slate VSX!

Then, do the mixing in the car. If it sounds good. Boom

pewdiepie @3:54 🤣

Yamaha Hs10😅 that’s a good hybrid between HS8 and NS10

I have to start mixing in my car... 🤔

Sorry Mate, but do you mean Yamaha NS10 or Yamaha HS 5,7,8?

👍👍👍

Great video, but misses one major essential. Walk away from the damn thing for a couple of hours. Yes to meters and visuals, but that lughole fatigue is a total quality killer, so I always get a kind of in the ball park mix, which takes long enough, then just leave it for a couple of hours, even overnight. On return, the mix, reference track, all of it becomes 100 times clearer, and easier to deal with the deficiencies. So go and have a beer, snog your partner, get some sleep, anything but sitting for even more brain-draining hours in front of the mix!

5:30

Audio tehnica has low impendance and its not good for monitoring .😮

i don't make music for people who listen on their headphones or car speakers.

I'm afraid that Yamaha HS 10 does not exist 😆

ВАЗ 2106 в центре) на превью

Comercial after comercial ..

I wonder what you would look like with long hair :)

Amazing tips but isn’t it best to leave the mixing to a sound engineer?

don't mix just on a Sub.

In Your car you look like lefthand driver....aren´t You English?

JUST GET THE STEVEN SLATE VSX. THOSE WHO HAVE IT KNOW WHY
