Gain stage every sound to -12db Turn up the Master fader 12db Adjust each track's fader, only reducing and never gaining Reset the Master fader back to 0db Add Ozone Maximizer

internet money really out here changing lives with these tutorials bro... got me watchin at work 😂

2:50 Bring Knobs to -12 db 8:50 max out master fader 9:00 adjust the rest of faders in context 11:38 reset master fader 12:30 add limiter to raise gain

This is the kind of video you watch and be like « damn .. game changer, I’ll be 10 times better from now on » just after. I’m so hyped up to put these new knowledges into practice next time I open my laptop :)

The beat playing in the background and the seriousness of this video at the start makes you feel like some shit is gonna happen lol

By far the best tutorial I've seen yet explaining headroom/gain staging. I've been legit SMASHING my levels against limiters trying to make things louder because I didn't know what I was doing, but this explains so much. Excited to try this out.

Extra tip: Gain stage in mono!

If it’s too quiet , crank your monitors . Don’t start pushing faders or master fader to get more volume because you can’t hear it. Gain stage , bring all faders to 0, start leveling important elements to least important . Work your elements around the driving force of your song.

I've been doing it like this the whole time and I didn't even knew I was gain staging. I thought I was just leveling haha

Probably one of the best, straightforward gain staging and balancing tutorials. Appreciate the knowledge 👍💯

Not only is this tutorial excellent, but the beat is super sick. Thank you, KC!

This is truly the best and most organized idea towards leveling. Of course he is passing on info that is out there but he did this tutorial so damn well for all people, especially beginners. Hats off to you KC💥

The head room made a huge difference even listening through the phone you can tell how leveled and settling it became! Thanks man this is 1 i had trouble learning but now since i have 4 yrs of learning on my own i can understand it clearer... Much appreciated!

This is the MOST comprehensive gainstaging tutorial I have ever seen!!! Thank you so much for this treasure!!!

He didn't say the most important thing: you need to gain stage after every effect you add on the chain. 90% of the times when you think that EQ or compressor made wonders, actually only raised the volume and that's bad because you re going against gain staging.

Oh my gosh bro... you’re awesome! I’ve always struggled with getting a good, balanced, yet dynamic mix and I feel like the next track I produce is going to sound so much better now! Thanks so much bro!!

this was extremely informative and interesting, i learned a lot of new things, thanks for looking out for the prod community! hope this can help everyone get that professional sound!!!

Yoo, this has been the most helpful mixing video I've every watched. you didn't have to add compression, reverb just clean and tight. Appreciate it.

This is without a doubt one of the most important steps in mixing. One of the most important mixing tutorials on KZfaq. Completely changed my mixing game! Thank you so much Internet Money for this gem! Straight up GOAT!!! 🐐👍💯🙏

I can’t believe I never used this technique 🤦🏽‍♂️ n my mixes sound great already but now they finna really be pure 🔥 💯 appreciate the knowledge 🙏🏽

This helped a lot my mixes are astronomically fucked up everything’s always too loud or too quiet

Finally the video I've been waiting for! 🔥

Ever since I started following your steps of mixing my songs sound a lot more nice.Realised I was doing so many things wrong.Thanks so much man.A lots respect to you.Salute

The dude sets the levels in solo and still gets it to sound good🤯

You guys are teaching a whole new era on producers the techniques they'll use on hit songs 5 years from now... much respect for these videos

Damn, bro this video is so simple and straight forward and easy to implement. This is the best mixing tutorial I've ever watched so far thank you Internet Money, Thank you KC supreme👍🙏💯

Superb tutorial got my mix sounding clean and gave me a concise idea on what gain staging is. Thumbs up!

Boosting up that master fader as you mix in everything is such a genuine tip, respect

Thanks KC, this actually made me under stand gain staging a LOT better, im gonna try it rn with this beat im working on, thanks fr fr

This exercise has been making my beat mixes a lot more healthy.

I agree with all you guys on here... this is the most simplistic, yet effective tutorial for mixing. KC focuses on gain staging, but he doesn’t even realize the is a mixing tutorial minus the effects. I have been following Internet Money for at least 2 years or so now and this is definitely one of the most useful tutorials you guys have put out. 🙏

I just wanted to tell you thank you I always come back to this video for refresher so simple and so effective much love brotha!!

Who else been watching IM for years now ? Been 2 years for me 🔥⚡️

KC came through w a gem for real

My mixes are now clean an loud thanks to this video. TRUST THE PROCESS

Thank you for walking through the entire process! Catchy beat too!

This is a great tutorial for people trying to get their mix right man I have been focusing on my mix for the last 2-3 years now and gain staging is the goat my guys! Its all about leveling the individual sounds, not how much compression and all the paid plugins that you put on the channels

Man I've been producing beats for 20 years and so far nobody had been able to explain this concept to me! Thanks a lot dude. You really have a way of explaining complex things with easy words.

I cannot describe how thankful I am for you guys, this channel has helped me so much man like honestly. Other tutorials have not taught me as much and given me as much help as this channel with just a few videos watched... Subbed for life. Thanks for this tut KC.

This is lit. Been strugglin with mixing and this is a huge help. Can’t wait to start makin some quality

It's like kc supreme read my mind needed a new mixing tutorial video

Amazing, this just uped my game for sure :) Much Love brother, and God Bless everyone reading this, keep chasing those dreams :)

I feel humble watching videos that give you this much info, you guys know that there will be fire beats cos you had your fingers in teaching us how to. Cheers everyone

Just tried this method and it definitely works! havent even EQ my leads and synths yet they sound pleasing and dynamic already, GIve it a try!, Thanx IM, keep the good work!

Can we all appreciate how nick lira went to genius constructed for the second time now

old school -> mix with ears new school -> mix with eyes and just turn the limiter to the max

Best 14mins n 38secs I've spent this year on learning to perfect my sound! Salute!!

Thank you for your help KC Supreme!!!

damn this helped me so much thank you! took 5 years for me to finally see a relevant video

the heat of this beat is slept on

bruh i love seeing a producer like kc supreme put on the same headphones i use, really makes me feel like i made a good purchase lmfaooo thank u so much for this tutorial on mixing its going to help me a lot

ive constantly came back to this video. super straight forward and it speaks volumes. love

IN A NUTSHELL: Make sure all your instruments from the start are somewhere close to -18 DB in volume from the instrument panel's volume knob itself. You shouldn't have to see the faders on your mixer turned down a lot. Most plugins work best when the input of the signal if around -18 to -10 DB anyway.

I honestly couldn't thank you enough for this video. I can't believe I was recommended this! I've been having a whole heap of trouble with Albeton over CPU usage. Been trying to find out the issue for months, and I just wasn't gain staging. It's making me laugh. Dude, you are seriously awesome for this.

Glad I found this and you! This is a gem 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Great video!

This Tutorial On Gain Staging is by far one of the best to break the science of the concept....Like others I suffered from bad beat mixes n so forth....I Appreciate The Knowledge wished you were in 04' lol

Just put reverb on everything and your mix is good to go 🥴🥴

Nice Video... Thank You!

Good shit homie

I like how u put “can” in the title to not mislead small dudes who cant produce yet

All you really need is 5 instances of SoundGoodizer on each mixer track fully maxed. Gross Beat on the master, and you're set!

Subscribed to your channel .. wow amazing !!

The truth right here...Easy break down on how to gain stage any project your working on!! Amen!

Also another useful way to quickly gain stage tracks is by using the rule of 3s. If a track is too loud try lowering it by either -3 dB, -6dB, -9dB, -12dB, -15dB. If you need to go quieter than try lowering by 1dB until you reach a desired level.

Damn! This helped a ton just now! Such a huge difference doing this. I can't wait to actually go into the full mix of my current project! Thanks so much!

Nice! Good video! Thanks.

Great video man

Rule thumb number one Never mix by solo-ing the tracks U need to mix the kick compared to the 808 and the other drums not the kick only till the volume of it its good.

this helps out so much I usually level and mix everything around the 808...but this video helped me understand the post mix side if Gain staging I appreciate it. Im suprised yall told people this for free....

wow dude this is a great video..I started making beats like 2 weaks ago and im really good at it at least my friend tells me that who is a producer for 4 years.I didnt really know to mix my beats but this is so helpful..Bless you for sharing this

Thanks for the knowledge. And by the way, this beat is amazing! I came up with the coolest melodies while you're mixing 🤣🤣

The beat in the background to fire I cant concentrate

Would be cool if u did a/b with and without gain staging in the end

idk which step did it, but this helped fix the 'kick flattening the rest of the mix' problem I been having. preciate it my boy

Thank you very much for this!

To break it down, route everything to your mixer and adjust the gain knob so they are all hitting around the same db. Around -9 to -12 db. Then mix by utilizing your faders in the mixer. The further down the fader goes, the more db it will decrease by...so its more precise to have your faders zero'd out to work from there. Another important reason is some VST's don't like/react/work well with hot signals.

Never seen anyone mix in solo so much. thats crazy. sounds good though lol

Thanks for the video, it was very informative!

What a well explained Video! Thank you

Hi, thanks for the tips, anyway is it possible to have a video where you talk about setting the limiter right in order to get the desired loudness? There's a new standard for measuring it, I don't remember the name now, it must be something like lufs. I've heard that the final level must be kept at - 1db from the ceiling to avoid clipping when converting to mp3, or another sampling frequency (like from 44.1khz to 48khz). Also, seems that KZfaq, Spotify and all the digital distributors have their lufs value to be used.. Thank you

i wonder how many superproducer still watching yall videos haha

Great video huge help bro

Great tutorial. Thanks

Step 1: place soft clip on master Step 2: Level beat in step sequencer, adjust levels how you want Step 3: route to mixer Step 4: gain stage thru your fx chains, meaning make sure the output volume of each plugin matches the input volume of your "pre fader" sound Step 5: adjust level on fader POST plugins Step 6: add vocals, use mix busses, master etc..

Damn my kicks and 808s are hitting and it SOUNDS CLEAN!! Thank You 🙏🏾

Thanks for sharing!! Very well explained!!

Thanks so much for this! Great advice

KC is literally the only one that actually teaches you something from the internet money group .

One thing I see he didn't mention was panning. Panning is important just as well as gain staging. Panning gives instruments space you don't want ALL your instruments straight up the middle.

This made my mixes 10 times better, thank you _very_ much

Preciate the knowledge and your energy man 🙏🏾

I keep coming back for more information then i get stuck on how fire this beat is. Nice vid

i'm a fairly new musician and i've done this before even knowing it was a thing..lol oop.. i guess i'm off to a good start, but great! advice and vid take notes.

so cool thank you so much

Good shit 👌👌

Based Gutta was doin it right all along time

WHEN I TELL YOU I HAVENT CLICKED A VIDEO SO DAMN FAST!!!!!!

thank you so much kcsupreme!
