I sat down yesterday to start a new track. The loop game was on. I had two reference tracks but slowly I began to slide into the creative zone and eventually got lost in it and forgot about the references. My loop was on fire! 🔥 Today I reopened the project and compared it to the reference tracks. They were wide as hell and sounded really good. My stuff sounded horrible. Narrow and lifeless. I started to empty all my knowledge to widen my sounds but nothing happened. It still sounded like crap so I thought I needed to look at my sound design. After way to long I realized I had the mono switch on on the master channel 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Great video Ben. I really liked, and totally agree with, what you said about taking inspiration from different reference tracks for different elements of the track you're making. It definitely helps with creativity and also getting out of the dreaded stuck-in-the-loop mindset. I'd thoroughly recommend having a reference track with a strong drum mix to build a good foundation for your track, as well as a couple more with strong hooks for creative inspiration. That said, it depends on the genre you’re creating. Anyhoo......keep up the fantastic work & great to see your subs near the 20k mark and rising 😁

I think the best tracks ive made have come from using reference tracks and i feel like theyre at a level were i want to show people. With that said i guess time will be a factor but i cant get my drums to slap like say D.O.D which is the style i like. What i tend to do it run the D.O.D track on one channel and mine on all the other channels while im making it and say like its the first drop i play both one after another the kick from a professional some times makes me want to turn off but i guess its a long road. practise makes perfect and all that 😇

Good day Bthelick. i think that its might be a good idea to make a video about setting instrument levels by relative volumes concept. matching volumes by a reference is great idea, however it needs something to compliment it,mainly to set the levels of small effect and such(to improve workflow).
@Bthelick
@Bthelick 4 ай бұрын
I don't have any methods for setting levels. You set levels where you want them! Other than making sure the kick dominates in dance music , and making sure the vocals are clear in pop tracks, there are no methods. How is setting levels to the reference not useful? If you don't yet have 10,000 hours of ear training and a great treated room, that's the only way you're going to be able to judge it! Unless you mean something else by "setting levels" ? Are you looking for relative fader dB numbers?
@tallandsman6780
@tallandsman6780 4 ай бұрын
​@@Bthelick setting the instrument to a reference is extremely useful and important. i find it very good for setting the core instruments,like kick bass and leads. instruments i prefer to set them as u mentioned, by listening to the kick level as a audio encore to compare to. i think i mentioned it because i did an amateur mistake by setting the levels just where it felt good to me, without mixing in relation to the kick(in our case). i used to do that in the past but neglected this simple practice. the results ended poorly as i my last published mix(i should have compare old vs new mix). maybe some newcomers and more experienced will benefit of a reminder in a form of video in your channel, that's the reason for the comment. personally i prefer to always use reference tracks and listen to then every 20 min or so and ido have a somewhat treated room and sonarworks+a few years of experience. patience and dedication.

The mixing tip for the right volume of the vocals,is great and I learned that a few weeks ago. But I do have a question about mono. Which channels are playing in mono in most professional tracks? Like is the bass and kick for example mono and all the other things stereo?

I mean to play and judge everything in mono. For the final track most things are stereo in some fashion but only as a 'bonus' to a good mono track. Kicks are typically mono yes . You can do what you like as long as the mono mix sounds strong

@Bthelick
@Bthelick Жыл бұрын
Yes simple, I don't have anything on my master channel! (Except metering). I leave the references at 0 so I can match my track to them. Then by the time I'm done matching sounds to the reference, my track doesn't need mastering and i release it just like that. I barely even have to mix too because the sound selection is usually so close! "The best mixes don't need mastering" - Bob Katz. Having said that, it must be said it takes a lot of ear training and experience to be able to work like that so if you want to work with things in your master you can direct the references to go straight to the sound card output and not through master channel. Just look in your routing options.

I am seeing the last decade + of me trying to teach myself flash back to me in moments now as in like "oh ok well thats why i kept having that issue, etc "the every 20 mins change your reference thing was the biggest aha moment. I cant thank you enough. Do you have a tutorial showing how you would go about setting up a reference track or a few? I am searching for a gain staging one now too and maybe another one or combo video where you explain how to have the kick maybe start at -6b or -10 i forget and then mix the snare for example to it , bass etc. Then how to check ( a/b) the refference track ( do we check the reference with our ears ( not solo_ as well as maybe look at a spectrum analyzer so we can also check( pardon possible bad terminology or explanation here) the shape of the kick ( as well as the frequency.. ( in my head im picturing/ thinking i prob should not just be trying to match the SPIKE eq ( where it says the root nore etc etc) but the whole 80-120 curve of the eq ..i overthink things can you tell. thank you for your time.

@Bthelick Жыл бұрын
yep you are definitely over thinking it! don't be looking at numbers use your ears. Put the reference track at the top of session and swap to it as you search for kicks in your library and try to match the level and tone. you can't have rules like all kicks stay at -6 or whatever, because that's not how sound works! -6 at 50hz? -6 at 150hz? -6 RMS, at peak or LUFS??? what does -6 mean? does it equate to what your ears hear ? no. most measurements on saw channel faders are digital peak meters which tell you absolutely nothing about sound. a -6 peak sound can sound half the volume of a -12 peak sound depending on density so don't rely on any meters just match it to the reference by ear as best you can. You can use meters to find problems (like checking sub levels that your speakers can't recreate etc) but not for overall judgement. Your audience won't be listening to your tracks with meters! 👊

Yeah xo is handy but mostly in the sense of a 'blind' sample selector since Ableton's search got much worse after v8. xo's tone isn't great, it just appears to be taking a single overall tonal snapshot, I noticed it simply puts shorter samples at the top, long samples at the bottom, Brighter samples on the right and bass-ier samples on the left there's not much more to it than that. Ironically I make so much music and the video takes so long that I still haven't had time to test Ableton 12 properly! I will be making a quick video on this feature though this workflow is paramount to my job.

Sorry if that sounds like a non-answer but it's one of those things that I can't teach. Unless we literally had a brain transplant with each other I can't show you what I hear! It's like trying to describe how I see the color orange! What if our oranges are different?! Hope that makes sense, but if you can't hear the balance of your kick vs your vocal etc then you can't hear it yet! There's no magic "make the kick -2 and vocal -6" nonsense that could ever work reliably. It just comes down to practicing active listening more to your references.

Ah ok in that case we're getting in somewhere already! D.A.W. is Digital Audio Workstation. It's the general term for the type of main software program used to record and make music like the one you see on screen in my videos.

​@@markksantos gotcha. I'd love to but the music & videos ARE my time right now. if I took on any 121 then the 12many has to stop! To start you don't need anything other than a daw and a computer to run it on. that's all. I use a daw called Ableton Live but tbh any daw is absolutely fine, they all work in a similar way. Live is not that cheap, but it is very easy to use. There are free daws available though like Waveform Free which is fantastic. Grab yourself a daw an have a poke around!

hi Greetings all layers of music are built depending on Emotions This is my idea to use so many references It makes the song a little mathematical, that is, similar songs come out in the mold, especially when certain sounds are trending in electronic music We can also hear it in my mind, projects such as templates to be a little more Original I think that reference can be used anywhere in the project to be a little more As I said, as I said, it is just an idea for me, since I do not study music for me and I have limited knowledge about mathematics in general, maybe I think this way What do you say Thank you for your sharing

Tchad Blake - one of the worlds top 5 mixers, just told in his last seminar that he doesn’t reference, as it kills his mix and vision. And he thinks it’s a bad idea. So I either Tchad Blake or you that is right.

Haha fair enough, Mr Blake ain't a beginner though! Tchad Blake probably doesn't mix like me either, because I barely mix and don't even master, my stuff goes out as is, and that's how I get my style. there's no "right" or "wrong" in music, be it musically, engineering, branding, performing, creative careers are creative! That's what's exciting about them! Music is art never forget that. The only proof is in the pudding , I've been paid consistently to do what I do for over 15 years now and have a few hundred million streams under my belt so all I can say is both ways clearly work is not right Vs wrong, music has no right answers other that what gets you the success you define. Sometimes I don't reference that much either any more, but that's because my ears and room have been sorted for a decade and I know them inside and out. The thing that accelerated my ear education the most both musically and engineering-wise was matching references. I can only pass on what I know to be true from my own experience as a pro, I ain't a KZfaqr haha, I'm just trying to help. (And so is Tchad)
