I watched this video two days ago I doubted it would work as i don't a genre thats on the chart but it is similar to deeo house. Yesterday i tried this on one song and it made it song so professional that i couldn't believe that it was a dong i produced. I was smiling for hours realizing how powerful this is anyway i mixed 2 more songs after that. May all your dreams and desires come true you truly helped me just as i was starting to seriously consider giving up.. Thank you

The way you used Youlean is really clever! I had never thought to use loudness to mix and find levels, only to master! It's also really nice that you took the time to make notes for differences in various genres, as well as including that these are never hard and fast rules but rather suggestions that can be adjusted depending on the song - well done Alice!

There are so many takeaways in this video, I had to pause so many times. Making room for bands, setting levels, and it's cool to just watch how you personally approach the mixes--I wouldn't have caught the hi-hats taking over the mix at the end, but when you made the adjustment, it added so much drive to the feeling

Love the flowchart! It kindof replaces the "mixing magic" with a tangible approach. I have some sort of similar workflow, but it is in my head only (no flow chart :)) and it starts with a kickdrum at -12 dB. And after that I mix all the other parts in, relative to that kick. As I usually mix psy-trance and uplifting trance, the relationship between the kick and the sub/mid bass is very important. I use different levels as a rule of thumb than you show here, but as you say, many things are depending on genre and style. You have a new follower in me. Thanks for the awesome vid.

@Alice-Efe I bought your mixing and your mastering courses and I enjoyed them very much. I learned a LOT and I think you are a great teacher Alice. I learn something new every day or I have some huge relevation and I want to incorporate that into my current projects to make them better sounding. But this results keeping them in a development hell. When I go through the past versions there are some obvious bad ones but I can still find good things in the earlier versions. How do you know when is the right time you should stop tweaking the mix or the master?
@marcus2685 ай бұрын
You reference, with a track in your genere, metric AB from Plugin Works is really helpful, because you can compare Stereo field, and have several tracks to compare to. Use the same bpm and key on the reference track, makes it easier.

I think Marcus has a great point. Reference tracks are good way to compare if it is enough. And also remember the pareto principle. When you feel like the changes you make are really small and doesnt add much, it is a sign that you should consider stopping.

I feel like using peak level references may be misleading, as you could have the exact same "felt" volume or RMS with a clipped sound - so lower peaks (snares, hats, kick). Interesting take on things though.

@AutPen384 ай бұрын
I prefer to use VU meters (and occasionally look at LUFS too) rather than peak dBFS, but I think you can use either and just get used to different relative numbers. The key thing is to have a particular setting/number for your kick, and then practice (or use a flowchart) for balancing all your levels (in dBFS, RMS VU, or LUFS) relative to that.
