1.Balance Your Mix
Balance is three very distinct things: Volume, Panning and EQ adjustment.
When you’re mixing, you do a static mix where you’re panning to create space and clarity. This is always a great place to start and finish; having everything make sense. Creating a good static mix will show you what you need to make your mix great. The static mix/the balance of a mix will is very important because it will tell you everything you need to know. Knowing the song and what you want from it is going to guide you in all of your decision making.
2.Using Plug Ins Too Early
There is no one was to use plug ins. Since you will most likely be working with a bunch of different genres, you have to learn how to work with all different styles of music. Create clarity in the low end; you don’t want to bring in your EQ too early because you don’t want to end up chasing your tail trying to make everything brighter. For the EQ you do use, trying using some high passing/low cut EQ.
3.Don’t Use Plug Ins Too Late
If you’re doing a big, loud, slamming track, if you don’t get in early with the plug ins, then you will be trying to fix things at the end. This is a massive, common problem.
Don’t be afraid to use plug ins in early in genres like hard rock. Shape the kick a bit more, shape the snare drum a bit more, cut some low mids and low ends out so it doesn’t get too muddy, even out the low end of the base, etc.
4.Do Not Use The Master Bus To Do Your Mixing
Fancy plug ins are great! But, you don’t want to be using them to fix the problems that should have been delt with inside of the mix. If you only rely on the plug ins at the end of the mix to fix this issue, then you will get even low end WITHOUT definition.
Multiple instruments in the area create frequency masking. Distracting the ear from being able to clearly perceive the simultaneous sound. If you’re not supply something that is defined to these instruments, then you’re going to get low end with no definition.
If you are mixing into multiband Master Bus compression, you aren’t going to learn anything. It is pretty hard not to get something that sounds “okay” when mixing using this, but a mastering engineers job is to enhance the music which is not possible with so much low end. Professional mastering engineers only use multiband compression to FIX issues.
5.Listen To The Mix As A Whole
Always be listening to the mix as a whole! You should always be thinking globally; if you focus too much onto one instrument then your mix may sound like it is built around that instrument and you might not even notice.
What many producers do, is they will play the track, but leave the room and listen to it from outside of the room. It will help you get some perspective and help you in thinking globally.

When you're 5 plugins deep and you ask yourself "did this improve anything?", be honest! It's sooo easy to bullshit yourself at that point, especially if you've just spent 15 minutes tweaking. The reality is if I spend that much time tweaking, it's quite obviously because what I'm doing is NOT WORKING. Like Warren was saying, soving a problem by creating a different problem is not the way.

Yep. It probably means a bad arrangement and/or bad performances. These days, it probably means, "I didn't bother to even think about it, I just started recording stuff and figured I could spend ten times longer editing it until it sounds ok." If it doesn't sound 90% of the way there as recorded after basically setting levels, then that should be addressed, IMO. Of course that's pretty much anathema to the modernists. And of course of course, the incredibly plastic, inhuman nature of modern music means that '90% of the way there' is already inhumanly perfected.

Your videos have helped me sooooo much. I haven't commented on so many of them because they're years old and it seemed weird commenting so late. But I just have to and hope you see this Warren. I can't count how many I've watched and not commented on. I'm just getting back into it after a few years break. This one is a HUGE eye opener as I've been doing things backwards according to this. One of your other videos you mentioned to comment on what helped in the video and then mentioned you might have to watch these videos twice, maybe even more until that one time it suddenly kicks in and you get it. That is EXACTLY what has been happening to me. I actually watched a couple not even realizing I already watched them until towards the end and the light bulb went off and I suddenly got some things I didn't the first time watching lol thanks so much for all you do 😍
@jeffreycharroux4577 15 күн бұрын
One “rule” I keep in mind is that once you have the rhythm section and the vocal sounding as great as possible, all the other tracks are seasoning to taste. As a guitarist, I love getting all the different amp tones on multiple tracks, but when it comes to the listener, they only hear if the guitar is too loud. Thin then out, pan them, whatever. Unless it’s metal, the electric (and acoustic) guitars are a texture. Who wants to bury a great vocal performance? And sometimes awful tones soloed work in the context of the mix. Fantastic overview on mixing!
@Torsten08 Жыл бұрын
This is one of the most important videos, if not the most important video about mixing I know. I only would like to add one small thing, that I have to tell myself nearly every time I am mixing. “Don’t be afraid to finish!” Yes, there is always room for improvement. Yes, some months ahead of it you might ask yourself “Why did I do it that way?”. But the danger of losing yourself in a mix and never finish it can not be underestimated.

This is an OUTSTANDING video. Not just because of the wisdom and insight, but also because of the tone and delivery - with humour, a smile and some humility. Just from an educational standpoint, as one whos is a highly qualified educator, this is top draw education. If you are serious about becoming a "Pro" at music production and mixing, learn from Warren. Put in to practice what he teaches and work hard. You will reap rewards to be proud of. Also I have to say, as a cricket playing Scotsman - I'm pretty sure Warren is among my favourite Englishmen, along with Ian Shepherd.

The best piece of advice in this video is the leave the room and let the mix breathe and get the bigger picture. It can really help get a handle on the low end. Sometimes getting some distance from the monitors will let the bottom end wavelengths do their thing and you will hear things you just can't get close up to the drivers. I love to get as far back from my monitors as I can quite often to check how I'm doing. I have been blessed to have spent as much time live as I have, it helps in finding the problems. High pass filters are your best friends!

you are appreciated. listening to opinions of mixes is the cheat plan to getting a more balanced final output. yet a mixer must not allow opinions and suggestions to discourage them from finding the sound that makes them smile and sleep at night. i have been very lucky to watch these educative lessons. my first and cornerstone rule about mixing is FOCUS on the project.

Great video, and thanks for making it! The walking away thing, listening down the hall etc.? Best advice ever. It does make you focus on how the sound is mixing in AIR, feet from the console where it "blooms". Not right up in the nearfields, zooming in on singular instruments with tunnel vision. It also is almost like coming back the next day, and noticing something sticking out weirdly, or getting masked or lost. Perspective, like you said. I have one of my own, but I'm sure most (many?) people do this, but here it is. At the very end of my mix, I lower the level WAY down, turn off the monitor (screen), and turn out the lights, and listen to the TOP END. I've gotten to the point where I don't trust my OH, hi hat and ride levels without doing this before the mix leaves. It just seems like I am able to focus on the treble and "air" region better at low level. And not looking at the screen? I'm not distracted by all the visual stuff, and I love that. Some days, I hate computers man. Turning the monitor off reminds me that I am there doing AUDIO, and only audio. Not programming some digital nonsense, or playing a video game getting a "high score" by adding the 4th plugin to a track. Maybe one more plugin will make it 1% better!!!??! No. What the hell. Man I miss tape sometimes. Thanks again for another video that keeps me thinking, and learning. On the straight and narrow. Good stuff. Important stuff. Forest instead of trees stuff.
@DerekPower 3 жыл бұрын
Personally, I save the “global stuff” for the mastering stage - in my own work - to give it its character there as it is now in an even greater context of a larger body of work. I may experiment with effect chains on a master bus, but I make sure to bypass it and incorporate that chain when doing my mastering or mastering prep. In my own stuff also, I like to employ contrasts whenever I can (and this is something Musician on a Mission has brought up). Just like you have contrasts in song sections, you can employ subtle contrasts within the mix. For instance, I would have advised for your student’s “sweet mix” to employ something of the opposite to something else. So yeah, the vocals can still sound “sweet”, but the instruments can sound a little “sour” or “dirty” or “gritty”. It doesn’t have to be a dramatic difference. After all, we don’t top our dishes with both soy sauce and mint at the same time. But just a little bit distinction to keep it from being completely homogenous. And yes, I know it can vary by genre, style and overall end goal. But even in the most minimal of music (whatever that means), a little contrast goes a long way =]

I have been creating music in the box for about 7 years now and I am JUST starting to mix with my ear's and not my eyes. It's staggering. I literally hold my hand over my hands to not catch a peek at the master bus. I am just now getting into side chain compression/sidechain reverb and such. It is funny how the pendulum swings. First dozen projects are a mess of volume automation, NOW years later I barely do it at all. Its a loooong road for me but what keeps me sane is being older (52 years old) and remembering tascam 4 tracks and doing little dumb tape demos. I would be hard pressed to have the yarbles to listen to old mixes...every now and then I get brave and do so and it's humbling beyond belief. thank you for your channel! and CHEERS!

I’m improving a heck of a lot and don’t suck as much at it no more. I have spent thousands of hours trying to get my stuff to sound okay but now by watching videos like this I’m beginning to not only discover my own unique sound but learning how to mix along the way has shifted my whole view on mixing as an ARTFORM THANKYOU!

Thank you. I started watching these videos a few days ago and absolutely love them. They're so helpful. I'll have to search through and see if there's any videos on mixing to create proper space for kick, bass, snare, distorted tunes down guitars, "low end". And also a step by step guide on how to set up side chain compression.

Great Video Warren. A famous guitarist once told me to always play the mix and go and listen to it from the bathroom. I still do it. Also. Mix. Go to bed. Have another listen with fresh ears in the morning. The last thing you worked on is sometimes a bit too loud.

I’ve been playing for 50 years, and have been around studios a bit, but never made the leap to know all that much about this. This stuff is fascinating.

Great tips Warren! I'm in the final stages of mixing my blues rock album and dealing with getting cymbals to sit nicely in the mix has been my issue. Found a bit of tape saturation on the overheads helped a lot.

That was great and good to hear re: a top-down mixing approach - that's been my (limited) experience in that it sounds great right off the bat but I rarely seem to be able to get to a great 'finished' point from there. It feels like fixing symptoms (admittedly effectively) rather than underlying problems.

I'm a complete novice to mixing. However the one thing I have learned is that less is usually more. Especially in terms of plugins like you said. It's amazing how much mileage you can get from just some basic filtering eq moves. I've lost count of the amount of hours wasted loading more and more plugins for it to just sound worse and worse. Only to eventually strip all the plugins out and go back to the static mix! I think as long as you are learning from your mistakes, then it's still a win in the greater scheme of things. It can be hard though, as there is just soooo much information/disinformation out there. Thank goodness for channels like yours! Thanks Warren, great content as always.
