Thank you for making my recordings sound amazing 🤩

This is a perfect example of how a solid performance can make so much difference for the mixing and mastering process. Micheal, Karra, and Chris are all so masterful!

Sidechaining the delays so the tail ducks down on the transient hits is brilliant! This one tip alone was worth the watch. Your vids and advice are always excellent!

It’s amazing how much confidence a little bit of compression brings to the mix.

Self-taught producers such as I appreciate your work🤝. My journey with Fl Studio started right here 5 years later...a certified sound engineer😄. Much love from Kenya.

These more in depth and walkthrough style videos I always find super helpful. Just so much detail and insightful tips that you can't really get in a 2 minute video. Keep up the great work Michael!!

Here we can see a professional doing a brilliant mixing & mastering session for free. Personally I would make the long vocal reverb a bit larger, the vocal sounds a bit dry in the full mix in my opinion. I don't know if you used it because it isn't in the video, but I always sidechain a little all the instruments and sounds except for the kick and sometimes the bass with the vocals, this glues the vocals and the instruments together. Anyway, wow, the difference between the raw and the final master is incredible. Will save this video to watch it every time I start a mixing session, thanks for your work :)

This was awesome! Thank you Michael; smashed it mate!

Love this kind of videos!! So much to learn and you also make it look sooo easy, very helpful!!!

I loved how you side chained the delays with the vocal very clever. Makes the vocals more clear! The vocal performance was amazing! Really good song I would listen to it a million times.

Omg what an amazing new years gift, you always teach us so much 🥺🥺🥺 theres so much to learn at once when youre just starting but its so comforting to know we are being well guided 😊! Happy new year!!!

This is the best mixing video I've seen in a while. So many ideas

Great video! I am completely new to mixing in so this is perfect for helping me understand what I need to focus on while I learn. Thank you, Chris Buck @ChrisBuckGuitar, and Kara for sharing your talents! 👏👏👏

What I find more facinating is the channel set up before mixing.

🙋‍♂️From the Arab world... specifically Libya🇱🇾... I salute you💯💯 for this most wonderful work ⚡️with the talented Kara in recording vocals.

Wow... Extremely useful path for a beginner amateur like me. I appreciated a lot compression and eq, which saved the original groove from musicians. It makes everything professional in a hifi mode (not easy to be found nowadays). Bravo!

Music is so subjective, but I really appreciate your view a lot. I'm a bass fiend so I'd shelf it slightly but it sounds great !

11:15 blew my mind, that's very helpful, I had no idea about it

Thanks, mate! I typically keep the vocals quite simple, usually just one direct voice, perhaps with a few choir voices. I've come to realize that experimenting with doubling and panning might yield better results. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks again for the inspiration! 🙂

That master is ear candy! Amazing!

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤👏👏👏🎶🎶Good Mix and fire Big master and good job INTHEMIX🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🤝

Wow, nice job! I like the results, only thing I would try (and maybe throw ayaw after trying) to start the "transition" drumbeats (the part you also repeated during the final showoff) from a lower level and let them build up to max, for some more dramatic effect. Maybe works, maybe not, worth a try. But yes, this is what mixing is about. Chapeau!

This guy doesn’t know how much he has helped me, I’d love to meet him and thank him in person 🙏❤️

Happy new year Michael. Have been using FL studio since version 4, you would have been just a baby. Thaught myself the basics but you're helping my mixes shine. You're irreplaceable as a tutor. ❤

SHE SINGS AMAZING AND YOUR A GENIOUS , LOVE UR CHANNEL

The mix and mastering really add depth to the guitarist and singer's awesome performance!!

So helpful to see the thought process. Thanks for a super valuable video

Bro is quite literally singlehandedly preventing Image Line's reputation from going down the dumps lol. The FL tutorial scene is so laughably bad its upsetting and you and also SeamlessR to a degree are the only people actually giving REAL, informed mixing and production knowledge with FL. I learned FL on my own, but I wish I had your tutorials when I was younger. Every amateur FL producer should see your videos.

"It actually sounds pretty cool" during the vocal tuning got me.. Helpful video. thanks

I miss you bro upload more or upload vlogs I wanna see you

nice video format, the right length, very informative, thanks!

Wow, this is the video i was looking for all these decades, finally. It's super helpful and i would like to thank you guys for the efforts and love you put in to make us great producers. Thank you.

Omg this is the most beautiful new year's gift I've taken! A start to finish mixing tutorial and even with my studio gears and the plugins I have... Truly amazing, I can't tell how much I'm grateful. Thank you 🥺💙

youre my inspiration whenever when am down Sir you just give me this power to make something nice .....youre the beat Michael keep up Sir

That guitar is amazing

one of my favourite teacher ....yes Boss ❤❤❤❤

Nice. I would have added a little bit of "air" to the lead vocals (and maybe a tiny bit to the "lead" harmony). Not "shure" if the drums were a stereo loop, or separate tracks. But if separate, I would have made a copy of the kick drum, then created a sub-kick out of the copy by HF cutting everything above 60Hz, and boosted the 40Hz with a medium tight bell by 6-8 dBs. Add some hard compression, and fast gate to reduce any "sub-tails" after the initial hit (this makes for tightness). Correct for any phasing between the kick and new sub-kick - then blended the sub-kick into the kick to taste. This adds a little "umff" to the low-end. Or maybe done this technique to the Bass guitar instead (not the kick drum). But definitively not create a "subs" for both the kick and bass, which would be too much. I think creating two subs would have taken away from the groove of the guitars. Nice though.

I wanna hug you, Michael. Thank you ✌

Some of the greatest people united to make this video! Congrats!

DUDE YOU WORKED WITH KARRA!? That's pretty awesome. She's a legend already and has worked with some really big names in the industry. Reid Stefan is her boyfriend and he's got a pretty big channel. That's really awesome that she was able to give you some vocal samples. You got top quality there.

High quality, splash. Happy New Year!

You're incredible! Thank you for all your help to the producers community!

Nice work. Sounds like you helped with the groove as well as bonding it all together. I like your style, nothing too extreme.

Very nice song. Got 90s vibes, for me at least.

Thanks for the great video!

thank you so much

I didn't even knew it was 18 mins long and it felt so short Love your content 😄

WOW!! really love this!! As i am a beginner in the Mixing and Mastering section, this really helped me a lot and lets me know what I needed to improve. Thank You!! Hoping to see more videos like this.

this video was helpfull, keep it simple like this and keep creating

It's a blessing having Mike Mixing for you. 👍

Literally the balancing and leveling part in a smooth playthrough really helped me understand it a little bit more, I've always struggled with leveling and it takes me quite a while to get it right. What I find hard is keeping the volume difference between the verse and the chorus fairly minimalistic yet choruses have to sound energetic and secondly keeping the drums at a level where they are not too prominent but at the same time loud enough to be exciting and not sounding dull!

Thanks for the great work 🔥👏🌟

Thank you for creating this video! 👑

Dope video. Great editing, everything looks so seamless and allows us to just focus on the music

Still learning from you 🥺 thank you for this 😍

Incredibly useful and inspiring - many thanks

It's invaluable to see you going through the thought process and applying processing. I have saved this video and can see myself coming back to it time and time again. Thank you.

That's awesome and Happy New Year.🎉

I’m just excited to hear a pop song with a guitar part in it!

Bravo Michael, you did a stellar job on this track...

Thanks for all the lessons

wow that's amazing work yah...! love It😍😍

Thank you for sharing this ❤

The tutorial I've been waiting for ❤❤ thank you

One of the best content I've seen on KZfaq about mixing, and I've seen plenty. This is in my top 3.

I love that you used Karra's vocals!! You both are great to watch!

very insightful.

love the master. you do a wonderful job. i would turn the adlibs up just a tad bit no more than 2 db lol.

This sounds marvelous!

Sound amazing and her voice OMG I just melt loved it. Great video but we need a whole session with all the details please make a pay course.

So good! And as noted already, a good end product *always* starts with a good performance. Personally I would have tried to keep the vocals more immediate/intimate, so no delay and maybe a different approach to the reverbs.

Cool! 👍🏻

Superb Michael! Enjoyed that!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏. Cheers!

Thanks for your amazing knowledge and helping us people who are trying to get to your level! Which will probably not happen anytime soon! Lol

Top-notch as always 🔥🔥. Waiting for release
