I’ve tried abelton and reaper and the interface is so complicated for me, I can’t even figure out how to connect my Helix to it. I always end up going back to GarageBand because of how easy they make it. Plus with GarageBand allowing VST plugins, and there being so many third party plugins you really don’t need any other DAW

this is my second time round watching your vids. i learned much from the first time round but didn;t retain it all. my mixes have already begun to improve. im taking notes this time. then back to the drawing board for me. once this song is finalized (if that day ever arrives), im gonna go back to each of my previous mixes and apply what ive learned from you so far. great job with your video editing too. thanks for your help so far. btw, as you likely already are aware, if you click on anyone's icon to the left side, it'll bring you to the commenter's YT channel. have a listen to some of my older stuff if you have a minute. that's what i will be doing so that i can compare how my progress is coming along. cheers

Hi Colin, this series of videos has been a game changer for me! Thanks a million for sharing. As my pals are unable to get together often, is it feasible/advisable to record, eq and mix a basic track of rhythm guitar, bass, drums and guide vocal, as a basic demo, and then add more parts, vocal, lead guitar, keyboard etc later? Keep up the great work 👍👍👍

@mrugank2110 6 ай бұрын

The volume part was eye opening, it's silly but I always had issues adjusting the basic volume. (i) keeping TBproAudio in -3 to -6db range and (ii) the fact that you get more volume not at the mixing stage, but while mastering. You can use limiter with output level -1 and increase gain.

@massoudshamel Жыл бұрын

This is great stuff and thank you so much for this guide, it is so helpful. I noticed that you list the six steps here as static volume, followed by master track processing, followed by .... But in one of the earlier videos you say the sound goes through Track Plug-ins first, then through Volume Fader and Panning, then through Master Track Plug-ins, then through Master Track Volume Fader. So, given the list of six steps in this video at 2:35, it seems like they don't match the way sound moves chronologically as you have said in your earlier video. The reason I am asking is because I am confused which step I should begin with? Should I begin with setting up my EQ and compression in individual track then move on to individual volume track volume and fader then to master track plug-in then to master track volume; OR, should I go about it in the sequence of the steps you have outlines at 2:35 in this video? I hope it makes sense.

I have never done what I’m about to say as an actual practice for a part of a song, or the master, but I will say this one time I was just messing around with my midi controller and the alchemy synth, I somehow increased the gain so much that my fader was reading at +30 db 🤯 however the sound itself was definitely the exact same volume I heard it at when hitting -11dB earlier. I was wondering maybe this was a safety feature to protect monitoring systems from breaking?? Sorry I know this is a pretty random comment, but you mentioned digital zero and it reminded me of this

@TheBandGuide Жыл бұрын

That's a great question! I've heard it might actually have "overload protection" built into it, but I'm not positive since there is basically no official GB training actually from Apple. But that could be it!

Thanks for the great videos, but I don’t know why my Garage band UI is very different and has almost nothing beyond instruments and just one small page for some very basic effects. Is it because I’m using an iPad? It looks like a very limited version of the app you and other people I’ve seen on KZfaq are using.
