Dan Worall once looked at each frequency range by using the solo feature in fabfilter on his master bus and pointed out how each range had a “highlighted” instrument that was clearly dominant. That made it really clear for me and I use that as a quick check now. It’s not my main mode of mixing, but it helps a noob like me identify masking more easily.

Frequency masking is much easier to spot when working in mono, or at least that’s what i found for me

This channel will easily crack 100k subs if you keep putting out content like this. Keep it up!

quickly becoming my favorite channel

Thank you sir! It’s very hard to find in depth explanations for these topics!!

I wish i could sit down with Miami and ask him all my questions. Such a helpful dude. Great advice as always

thx for your videos Miami. love your vibe and all you explanation. thanks a lot.

Excellent explanation Joey.

Your explanations were amazing which led me to sub. Thanks alot!

Cool! That's very important! Usually when everything is recorded in different studios this problem is huuuuge!

Very helpful, thanks bruh!!

So good! I'm glad you also addressed arrangements and parts as being important to a mix. I very often play the same parts in 2 octaves both on guitar and vocally. I remember reading how a producer once asked Christie Mcvie to play her part up an octave so it wouldn't clash with the guitar. Before he finished asking, she started playing the part up an octave. Very overlooked but equally important part of recording and mixing. Cheers and thank you!

I'm seeing a lot of REAPER on here recently. I approve ;P

I'm liking that idea of adding on octave to create more of a pocket for a sound in your mix. It's been one of my go-to's these days in post to throw a little alterboy with a few percent of an octave or above or below the source, to give it some additional depth and "findability"

For all the fancy mix tricks and plugins this is the most fundamental as well as most important concept for mixing.

I try to keep my arrangements in a way to leave each element with its own space to avoid relying on EQ and side-chain compression, but sometimes the track needs extra oomph and I have no choice which is also the case when mixing a track someone else arranged. Depending on the track, if arrangement isn't the solution, I tend to rock a combination of complimentary EQ and side-chain compression to get the clarity I desire. Thank you Miami and all the folks at JST, you have helped me bring my mixing skills to the next level and you continue to do so! Keep doing what you do, much love.

ON A LOW CONTRAST MONITOR, THAT HAT LOOKED LIKE A PERFECTLY SPHERICAL FRO! iT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU1 LOL! lET IT GRO BRO!

Mami, great video. These are definitely needed techniques to use when mixing. Also, love that last bit "even if, it's a piece of shure". Lol 🤣

Jaycen Joshua was talking about that. Thank you for going deeper. You're still amazing, like your transition games 😎🤝😏

Great vid bro

This was VERY helpful. Thanks!

Thank you. Good advice. I like you.

Thank you

Good work 🔥

What I love doing is using mid/side EQ to unmask certain clashing frequencies in the lead vocal and its double tracks. 🤫 take off some of the lower range with mid-EQ, cutting only the “mono” signal from the double tracks , creating space for the lead vocal (mono) to sit nicely in context with its double tracks . Let me know what you think

Miami I really like your Videos .Could you make a video about how to get the Snare sound from songs like Dead Butterflies or Shadow Moses? I started a short time ago and I don't understand how they do it. Thanks

Can you do a video about mixing techniques that work great for one genre like Hip-Hop/Pop but no so much for others like Metal/Rock?

This video is awesome! I am always trying to get clarity in my playing and recording. I have a hard time listening to any music anymore that doesn’t have that clarity you can tell comes from a awesome engineer. Seriously love all of your videos!

Curious Miami. For sidechaining things like kick/bass etc. Do you prefer sidechaining with multiband compression or dynamic eq and why?

I'm just here to say, nice Video title and thumbnail. 10/10

Miami, what is the name of the song you used in this video. I hear it all the time I’m the videos

What track is the C6 on? the sub or the bass?

I have a difficult time working with mids fighting each other , they are a bit harder to listen to compared to lows and highs and sometimes I don't know where I should take out certain frequency ranges

You had me at “UN.”

When Miami says “timber” 😭😭

Great video. Also it’s pronounced “Tamber”.

Ludaaaaaaaaa

I understand that you were simply making a point, but don't be throwing around a bunch of phrases you aren't certain of . Pretty sure there isn't a real law of physics that says two objects can't occupy the same space. In neutron stars, matter is crushed together so powerfully under an entire star (and more) of gravity that electrons are stripped off and proton and neutrons are squashed together into neutrinos. What is your definition of "object". Because two liquid chemicals could be mixed together and go "on top of eachother' to form a reacted 3td amalgamation If E=M then more energy in one location or carried by a particle .

Guitar going all Boston strangler on the poor vocal...
