Why do I get the feeling that after recording these you push a button and the wall opens up, and there, behind bullet proof glass in a hermetically sealed climate controlled robe humidor (rumoured to be of qualude feuled Hugh Hefner design) is a red velvet robe. After robing up and shooting your cuffs two security guards open a door with a gargoyle peep hole and instantly you are flanked by the beautiful and interesting people. Another gargoyle door and you walk in, nod to Barry White at the piano and then the real after dark begins...

It's like if God wanted to explain sound to man and thought I'm gonna need a Jesus Two point O to get this stuff across to them. And then God created Gregory Scott. And he did look upon his creation, and did send him upon the earth. And he did educate man that there was a reason he made him with two ears and one mouth. And man did understand "oh I'm meant to listen twice as much as I talk. I get ya". Then God thought, mmm tomorrow's Sunday. I reckon I'll have the day off.

OMG!! - I haven't heard this spoken of in a long long time - and I still do that in the digital age. I had only just started in the late 80s early 90s - and the guy who I saw do that technique was none other than.... Brian Eno. I was brought into a school that had won lottery funding as a music teacher with "some" skills in mixing to help launch a lottery funded music department with recording studio.... the guy who designed it was Brian Eno. I saw him do that very technique and whilst he didn't explain it as brilliantly as you just did - he said "you gotta feel the beat as well as hear it" .... awesome!!!

If the end result sounds good it absolutely doesn't matter how you reached it. You can even put your butt against the rubber surrounding of the woofer and this way achieved the most amazing kick+bass relation ever heard by human kind. However I advise you to watch out who you tell this original mixing technique to. 😂 Bottomline(Pun intented): If you have good trained ears, NOTHING matters. Nobody's ever going to know what plugins you used on what and if the plugins were even intented for that sound. Use plugins on sounds they were not intended for. It makes for the most interesting creative sounds. Let all restrictions go and make some art. 😉

@deceptikon4889 3 жыл бұрын

I've done the "feeling the speaker" trick for decades now and everyone looks at me like I'm insane. I've always sworn that I can feel the details in the transient of the kick and snare better than I can hear it. Especially after listening for more than 15 minutes straight imo. Also feeling the air flow from the ports if you have ported speakers. An overly loud sub freq will result in an obscene and disproportionate volume of air coming out of the ports even though you may not hear the freqs themselves. A well mixed low end usually will make the air coming out feel like its resonating with the key of the song.

@chucklewis9217 3 жыл бұрын

It's amazing how much you can highpass that kick and still have it wallop. For setting level, I'll send just the kick and snare through the mixbuss compressor, hitting both at equal amounts. Then bring in the bass with the kick and do the same thing. After that, start moving up the highpass until the kick feels tight and out of the way of the sub of the bass; like you, sometimes up as high as 50-60hz. At that point, the groove of the kick is enhancing and playing nicely with both the bass and the snare. I haven't tried the finger trick, though. It's now on my to-do list for tomorrow!

I must say after adding just one of your plugins, specifically the UBK-1, to one of the tracks I am working it just did wonders for the sound and feeling of the song.
