This is a great video! It would've been nice to have a couple of solutions to some of the issues you described though. For example, what are the alternatives to using outdated riser effects for build ups? What are some techniques for changing up the energy levels in a less rigid way? Apologies if you've already covered these in other videos, I'm quite new to the channel!

Hi Alice! 2:08 isn't true -- in fact, overly hi passing your reverbs and delays to avoid "muddiness " is a massively easy way to cut a lot of body from your mix and relatively add a lot of "tinniness" and perhaps even harshness -- Spatial elements are elements. Theyre not just "effects", but they are an element of your mix. When an element of your mix is conistently highpassed so it has no body and only 800hz and up, then you are effectively increasing 800hz and up in all your mixes, which relatively speaking is ducking 800hz and down. On mix with the masters, ive seen almost NO pros hi pass their reverbs. Michael brauer has made fun of this practice (coldplay mix engineer) -- Jacquire King hi passes at around 150hz and explicitly says do not go further than that. This seemed counter intuitive to me because i was like "but reverb! its muddy in the low mids!" -- this is not true at all. Its an element that needs to be mixed in like everything else, using eq, compression perhaps (rare but can happen) --- it is NOT just something we can automatically hack away, because real reverb in real churches and real rooms dont do that. It leads to a tinny, bright artificial sound. Further more, sometimes you really really want low mids and bassy reverb on your kick, to create a cinematic kick for example with lots of boo0o0o0m, but i understand that thats a specific niche case. Better solution: high pass up to 100, 150, max 200 hz -- then use shelves, bells (i prefer bells) to reduce the low mids and medium mids to taste. This has made an enormous difference in the body and "glue" and "pro" ness of my sound, and im not bragging but i already had a good sound to begin with just like yourself :) Have a great day Alice!

I produce old school 90s jungle so I avoid all the modern icky sample collections and stick to what was around in 1994. To me, genre drift is one of the hidden big mistakes. One thing I would love you to cover is, specifically, multiband compression treatments for ultra subs. It's really hard to stop a pure sine wave at 44kHz from either being inaudible or overly dominant... and then you listen to it in your car and it's completely changed. Thing is, nobody was putting comedy distortion on the subs back then so they have to stay clean to be authentic.

I intentionally compose interwoven muddiness of many types of heavily distorted rhythm guitars all dynamically layered together to fit the mix. I fuse many elements between orchestrated symphonic with electronic elements into several styles of progressive metal, death metal and black metal with some alternative, funk, jazz and classical influences. I compose what I want to hear. Whenever I record my guitar improvisations, I use two foot pedals to dynamically and fluidly change the tempo so that a drum draft matches my guitar playing instead of sticking with metronomes or quantized grids. Also, I deliberately layer multiple acoustic drums with modified 808 bass drums in double kick formation panned slightly so as to hear the drums as a drummer would hear them. I do not compose simple songs despite a few chorus hooks. Songs that are easily digestible are easily forgettable as well without much substance. I have also written specific guitar parts that rely upon extremely different reverbs in contrast to one another which creates a specific effect for multiple rhythm parts fused together as though multiple songs sounding perfectly fused together.

Cheesy fx point is kinda odd. If we are talking about audio effects that come with DAWs, they are pretty much doing their job. There is whole market for vintage fx, like tape delays or old reverb units. Many of them just work right in the mix. The only thing that might give that 'outdated' sound is the reverb, since it has complicated algoritms, and some of them might be hard to tweak right. Some good reverb impulses might do the job better than crappy reverb plugin. But if your are talking about risers/impacts, most of them, especially old ones, need some processing to make them work in a mix.
@Alice-Efe

Nono, it was not meant to use FX comes with the DAW. They are better and 80% my FXs are ableton FX devices. That meant using those "you-know-which" FX risers, and adding tons of reverb on it. Making already an overused cheesy sound, cheesier.

Great video; lots of information. I would just say that starting with little vocal chops that are out of tune is a great technique for inspiration. You can always just delete them or tune them, but sometimes I find i get really fun ideas for contrasting harmonies that I would never have thought of without that little "stake in the ground." So, yeah, make these mistakes on your way to learning how to avoid them. That's part of the process.

Great content as always! Most of the amateurish errors in one packet. I've done all of that list. But let's say "error" in a positive way because once you hear the difference you can fix them quite easily. Maybe amateurs don't do "errors" but they don't listen the mix deep enough and don't listen reference tracks carefully. I would say that the worst error you can make is to sit and mix too long at a time. Your ears get stuffed with all basses and snares and finally you don't hear anything. This get worse with own music because you always evaluate bass lines, melody and other stuff which you've made. And soon you find yourself playing new patterns and basses instead of mixing. Sorry, quite a long story but I'm excited 'cause I signed up to a Dolby Atmos mixing course that includes real mixing in a wonderful new studio here in Helsinki. Maybe old dog learns new tricks :)
