Learning mixing from a book sounds pretty damn smart. It must save a ton of time to not just learn by trial and error.

would you mind sharing the link to get this book? or the name!

Send me that bro

@@DRUGSdify it was a few years ago. The book is called the harcore mixing guide. If I remind correctly.

@@apocalypsem4553 don’t know if that is allowed.

Thanks! That’s awesome

Those two sentences are completely unrelated to each other.

Unsecured website :/

Well i m not 100% with this logic, because depend on the source, i Mix only hardcore EDM music like Hi-Tech, DrumNBass and psytrance. And actually u cant sound competitive with dance music for festivals if u cant hear under 100hz...... There is what makes people move, and you have to sculpt it very careful with highend expensive big monitors ;)

I mean just to clarify, what you do with your genre is fine.... But you have to say to people that this dont work for everything..

My thoughts exactly

Wow interesting just went to listen.. how thin! The drums are so quiet too its mostly julians voice and guitars

@@SkeleMusic seriously! those albums are freaks of nature from an engineering and production standpoint i highly recommend reading Gordons memoirs from those sessions.

a lot of band indeed does not think about "taking their place" in a mix in their tones or composition!!! I think you pointed out a good part of that problem!

Orchestral music isn't bass heavy though. Listen to it om a set of good speakers. Literally none of them makes your sub go boom. Heavy bass has never been a problem yall had to deal with. This is a modern music problem.

yup! we can learn a lot just by going through classical scores. they are the masters of form and arrangement, instrumentation and dynamics. and just one person doing it all. classical composers are foorkin amazing

@@TakeHit0 I think your missing his point. When an orchestra is going full tilt, with amplification remember, you can still hear the piccolo, for example, based on it's timbre, frequency and placement.

@@AndyA1234 You know it's a very common problem that the entire string section gets masked by the brass section and becomes almost inaudible. Anyone who thinks you can cure mixing problems with "good arrangement" has 0 understanding of basic audio engineering.

Everything depends of the context. The results in the examples are not great. In the carved out the kick is way too much cut. In the overlapping one he get a rumbling lacking punch kick and a thin electric bass. The second setup is better but nothing good. In fact, the carved one is the overlapping one because he comes up with the kick and the bass sounding thin one on the other letting the sub empty. And than in the overlapping one the kick take the empty space in the sub and the electric bass keeps its upper place (they do not overlap they complement each other here). It is true that you have to be gentle with placing your elements in the spectrum trying not to cut too much just to make each one its place but overlapping elements in particular in the sub and bass area will create interference/masking (sound is waves) and weakened your elements. Here is a middle ground that you develop with years of practice. In the examples, again, the overlapping sound the fuller because in reality it's the carved one. It's the one where both elements complement each other having each their place to breath (the kick in the sub and the bass upper). He is showing the opposite of what he is talking about. I heard at least 3 bad advices in this video that are not pro advices but more I don't care I go with feel kind of advices or illogical intuitive biased based advices. The one at 9:44 is ridiculous. What I think of this is: You should be able to make the difference between sub frequencies and low mid frequencies. If not, you have to practice more your brain in a analytic way for that. The solution is not not having a sub woofer because you could be fooled. The solution is to learn to hear where you have enough, not enough or too much volume in the FULL spectrum. For that, you need a system, a setup that reproduce the full spectrum. Too much feel and not enough comprehension of what is happening. Feel is absolutely needed (because we are talking about music here) but when comprehension, technicality become an automatism to be able to optimized what we want to convey as emotions. Otherwise we stay with a rough result and don't know why. I would recommend you MixbusTV. This is a professional with professional results and he is really good to explain things with logic and nuances.
