Easy to say when the stems are really well produced

@BR_READDY225 2 жыл бұрын

If they aren’t produced well then no matter how much eq and compression you put on it, it won’t help at all anyway..still going to sound like shit.

Your just not well educated on the matter. I hate to bust your ego bubble but if your music is ass then over processing shit will not make shit sound good

If you’re receiving stems I would hope they are well produced. Unless you are one of those people that call multitracks.. stems. Then I don’t know what to say..

@@jzilla_grudgegang yeah, there’s a bunch of ways to approach it. As a mix engineer I’m usually only sending out 2 to 3 sets of stems for a song. Either vocals/music or vocals/drums/music. Basically it’s just for commercial use like tv and film edits. Then I’ll usually just print them with the mix bus processing on. If the processing is so heavy that you can hear a change when summing the stems then I’ll do a phantom sidechain of the full mix and use that to trigger the mixbus processing. But if I’m receiving multiple stems to master (or mix), as long as the stems sound ok without the mixbus processing then fine. But it’s better to not have heavy mixbus processing in these circumstances. Especially if the artist was mixing into the processing. Then it makes sense to just use separate busses and process them individually. I guess the moral of the story is… know what you plan to do beforehand so it doesn’t become overwhelming and complicated. Also, I was really just trying to bust OPs Ass for using the term “stems” incorrectly. 😆. People gotta learn!

yall are taking this the wrong way. He is saying if a track needs a specific plugin, then do it and if it doesnt then it doesnt. Some ppl will do the regular stuff and then just slap on more plugins cause the youtube tutorial said to follow this chain.

Its true! When I first started, i’d have 10+ plugins on my master bus and god knows how many plugins on my channels. But these days, i’ve only been using plugins for SOUND DESIGN! Get it right at the source!!!

I've heard this from a couple places before, but I think it is good practice to still try to do something to the sounds. Because I have also heard the opposite from a Grammy award winning engineer who says not to skip the small sounds, and fx, make sure to compress and EQ them as well, but then at the same time says not to compress or EQ every sound. In my humble opinion, I think you should try to improve every sound in a mix, and if you find that one already seems to sound perfect, then you can decide then not to try to improve the sound. But usually there are ways to improve every sound in a mix. But I am a nobody with no grammys so should anyone take my advice? Probably not.

@boocackeedquackhead8454 7 ай бұрын

He wasn't talking about the small sounds. He was talking about sounds that are already heavily processed and already fit well.

Glue and some genres need it compresor even on progammed beat. Another things is sounds design and shape all of your percussion.

The problem for us engineers is that while MOST professionals and producers of Mike’s generation are pre-mixing these sounds the overwhelming majority of the new generation are not and they don’t give a fuck to learn how to. Type beat makers are decimating the game.

This is not even what he was referring to. Perhaps your ears are fried. The new generation you're bitter about are using processed sounds constantly, so whatever point you were trying to make here is the complete opposite.

Exactly!!!!!!!! Mane I thought I was tripping but not tripping. When tryna explain stuff for these other producers or people in general. Bro you ain't gotta do all that you messing it up I made that to sound just like I made it in the beat I did not intend to make it sound robotic and weird efx. Mane some of stuff is cool for your own personal ear or taste. But you don't hear nothing on the radio with all that efx n extra snare rolls n every trick up your sleeve in every beat SMH . Mane come on with all this dumb ash. MF taking 2 hrs to tweak a sound while making a beat. I'm from the hood Memphis and I been makin hard Lil beats since 98. I started off with a DR 5 drum machine. Y'all just don't know how appreciative I am with all these sounds nowadays. That's why I'm naturally cold bcuz I understand exactly what UNC talking about. That's why I b zooming through shyt 😂 killing folks making beats. Keep it simple sometimes. Or really learn the ART of natural swag. Ya know it's a major difference 😂😂😂 I'm like UNC I'm leave that one alone 👍🏿💯💯💯
