Some more tips: 1) Muddiness goes all the way up to around 400hz. 2) As well as low end roll off don't forget you can roll off the top end too. Cut out as much frequency band as you can get away with on every sound - this should form your initial mix. 3) You can create 'false' weight by using a resonant filter to cut your low end. Add a bit of resonance to regain some weight back 4) Using an EQ turn up the gain and freq to max and to the thinnest bandwidth. Then listen to your main section of track by slowly scrolling from the high end to the low end. The frequency should mainly be musical, but if anything suddenly jumps out or sounds out of tune cut it by 3-5db. Obviously your monitors have their own characters so check on 2 different listening sources. Keep repeating the EQ sweep until you've done the whole track. You may easily end up with 6 or more cuts in the mix. 5) Sum everything below 200hz to mono 6) Cut your mix below 40hz with at least a 48db filter. Do 4, 5, and 6 before entering any mastering compression. You want to even out peaks before you get there and cause unnecessary compression artifacts.

Apart from composition and sound selection: proper volumes and eq are the main players for a good sounding mix. And always cut your reverb tails below 150 or higher even ... i mean always when you are using it as a spacial fx. There are some sounddesign techniques involving reverb in bass and subbass ranges, but thats another topic. For mixing purposes: cut your reverbs, or even better: put the eq in front of the reverb (on the same send/return channel), this way you get a much more natural and clear sounding results

Somethingpeople often forget, clubs use L+R mono not true mono, so youstillhave a left and right.what this means is you can use full stereo panning (panning equally on both sides except for the key elements like kick, bass, vocals) to create a clean mix. I'm studying this at fullsail, and one of the things we are told is fader/pan balance is more important than any EQ or compression we can do. i have noticed this helps my mixes, I hope you give it a try in yours and let me know how it goes!

I generally remix 90's female vocalist stuff (Mariah Carey, Tori Amos, etc.) and I've found my mixes to be creative and well executed, however I was having a lot of trouble mixing / mastering. This gave me so much insight on how to make my mixes sound less muddy and more balanced. If you listen to the mixes on my channel you'll hear that masteringwise they're not the best. I've gotten better over the past two years but I felt like I was hitting the ceiling in the sense that I had tried everything to make them sound better. This is gonna help a great deal, thanks!

@@EDMTips I'm struggling very much with the volume of my tracks. I like the drums to be somewhat quieter in the mix, as opposed to EDM tracks, for a listener to feel the atmosphere more, and I like the emphasis on the mid-low frequencies more than on any high synths/instruments or dominating vocals. Moreover, I'm totally not a pro in mastering - some people say you should compress the track for loudness, and some say that LUFS accounts for the dynamics, allowing the transients to cut through, so idk who to listen to. This overall results in my mixes being far quieter than the reference. I think it's a quite common problem, so I would love to see a video about this from you

You have a really smooth and concise style in explaining things that can take people years to understand. While these are obviously very basic concepts and are to be expanded upon to garner their full effect. They are all extremely important foundational fundamentals everyone should begin with. One thing i would alter sometimes is to not “hard cut” all mid/high freq tracks but rather use a shelf filter instead, to subtly remove the mud and avoid jarring frequency clips within the mix. Whilst they are usually hard to hear to the untrained ear. They can be a noticable problem when finishing a track in its final stages if there are too many hard cuts in those same 100k-200k areas. Potato, potàto, but its something ive started to do and i feel like it helps keep things smooth.

Will. I love all of your EDM tips but a long time ago you made a comment about Mix values being about -18db but didnt specify if it was involviing recordings or just plain jamming on simply Synth tracks. Yet I have heard making synth only tracks being mixed at -6db and this is enough headroom for tracks. We are talkiing 12db of difference before mastering. Now I am a huge Deadmau5 influence and I know there is no way on earth he starts a project at -18db on initial jam and mix. Without vocals and just wanting to make a huge bassline like his can you show how Deadmau5 and some drum and bass artists make the real difference between kick and solid bass line Beside this I love every video you produce and this channel deserves more than 98.2 Subs. This is really a great channel. Also you have taught me that Abelton is so much more UI friendly than FL studio when it comes to grouping and bussing

Great info on mixing. Thanks for the tutorials. Sending to a stock compressor plug-in with ducking (with dry vocal channel as the sidechain key) to a delay and reverb FX send was a pointer I latched onto several weeks ago. It truly does give me much more control of that reverb. I can mix each plug-in on this reverb channel full wet and use the fader itself to mix it in as I see fit. And I think it sounds far better than beforehand. I also do an FX send to an EQ and a Waves stereo widener plug-in, setting the EQ to low cut below about 250 Hz. It's adding a bit to side mid and high frequencies, and it seems to fit decently into my target sound. PS I'm sending each of these FX sends as prefade so that my dry fader doesn't affect the FX channels.

The only and only right answer, is use your ears, and monitor with a good analyzer, but not like the whole time analyzing. And don't be shy to use high / low pass filtering. But also with other filters, less is more. Or tick the phase knob or like you did, switch it to mono. Or parallel compression, there are so many ways to cut a space for other instr. / voices. But sometimes twisted phase can be your best friend. But that takes a full podcast to explain. Great video btw. I use Ableton too for my DJ work with a APC40 mkII, consider this like you have a new subscriber.

Apologies if you have covered these, Thank you for all your knowledge you share, it helps me and everyone else a great deal!!

Hi and thansk for the cool video! I just wanted to add that all the tips work for rock music production as well, especially the top-down mixing approach. When drums and bass guitar already rock than you are on a very good way. So, rock on!

Indeed, the techniques I try covering in my non-genre specific videos could be applied to any genre! Glad you found them useful too :)

Good video. Just some notes. Too much cut-off on any sound can make it too thin especially when using plugins. Also, some of the best mastering engineers from around the world said to me, always mono the kick and bass as standard - this is important for vinyl pressing. I actually had a mastering engineer nearly reject one of my tracks because he was complaining about minor phase issues and I've been releasing nearly 100 records since the 90s. It would be interesting to see a video explaining the differences between vinyl and digital mastering.

I’ve heard that even having too much bass on vinyl could cause the needle to jump out of the groove 😂

This is one of the best videos I have seen on this topic, I was trying to explain point 4 and 6 to someone a while ago and you have explained it in a far clearer way than I could. Point number 2 is so important. The best tip a producer ever gave me is to get a trained composer to do the composition for you and to simply submit the composition as sheet music or a midi file. It will make a massive difference. I had never even considered the idea of side chaining a reverb mix before.

It was great tutorial. Though I started working in FL Studio 20 recently It was everything clear about mixing. Cause that always led me to confusions I made earlier. No doubt this will help to clean up our mixes
