Facts, too many videos about shortcuts instead of actual informative vids that give you something to build on

my pleasure homie! glad to help 🔥🔥

🙏

my legit pleasure. I appreciate your kind words too

I struggle to know where my baseline volume is when producing a track. Check it out: I pop in a synth and sketch out some chords or something. Next, maybe add some layers and melodies, then drums. Boom now I’ve got an arrangement going on. But the problem is… when I put that first sound in, I just adjusted the gain not to blow my fucking brains out. So when I layer, I’m adjusting gain of those layers to accent my first sound. When drums come in, I’m adjusting their gain to cut through and be heard, often times hard limiting them to really squeeze them through. (I sidechain too, not always just loudness war lol.) Now here comes my bass, it’s gonna drop in at the chorus. But to get it to be strong enough with my other elements, I gotta crank it, limit it, saturate it, and it is just kinda audible but basically redlining. I’ve carved lows out of everything else, etc. I feel like not knowing how to start my track gain wise and maintain a standard on how loud everything is really fucks me as I move forth.

yup. in all honesty these three alone are good enough. obviously a super professional sounding mix will make it sound better but its not really necessary id rather people focus on making good melodies and sound choice

@@ChuTheCreator lol fair

Not so much any more, but I used to mix in mono a lot. I might get back to doing it again

what? lol

The clipper is a form of mastering. So yes. I recommend mastering.

@@ChuTheCreator yes, thank you for that correction but my question was if I should take it further than that

@@sneakyonthebeat cool. I'm making a video that will answer this. thanks for inspiring the idea 🙏. I'll link it here when it drops tomorrow.

i don't master traditionally like that because i clip in cascades as i mix. this video explains - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7tyZc2qycvNl2Q.html

@ChuTheCreator Thanks chu👌👽

I think I explained that in the video 🙏, but it's also explained here in this blog post : bit.ly/3XFeacn

It’s probably still on my channel 🙏

not in my experience

Windows: Alt + L Mac: Cmd + L

It’s not as simple as yes or no . Watch this it might help - you need to care less about mixing *probably* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7yUqbh4nbyvZ2Q.html
