I’m so glad I googled how to mix on a mastered beat and you showed up on the top video suggested. I’ve spent countless hours learning how to mix and no one explains every step and thought process of the techniques is such detail. You are very good at explaining things in a understandable way. Definitely brought so much value to the table and the whole hiphop community as we all know how often a song is mixed on a one track instrumental. Thank you! Instantly subscribed and can’t wait to learn more from you!

@@5piece So I have finished one song and I may not have taken as much time as I have wanted to on it but I notice some really good improvements. The first tip on gain staging and clip gaining to -0.1 then moving the fader on the beat down to around -6db was a good tip. Before, I was just putting the trim plugin on the beat track and pulling the beat down that way. Running the vocals and beat to their Aux tracks were a good tip as well. I was able to do some serious volume matching with the vocals and beat with the fader trick. The bx compressor on the beat aux really brought out the beat as well. Lastly, trackspacer and only using it around 1k and 5k did some good as well. I was doing it at 300 hz and 3k. I will sit down and spend more time on fine tuning more but I do like the results. I do have issues with 2-track beats and the bass or low end being to boomy and high to where I cannot push the mastering to much. Not sure if you made a vid on that but that would help. It could be that the beats I am getting are not that high quality but I am unsure

@@MegaLilWadeawesome, glad to hear all of these little tips have made a difference! Using a trim plugin actually could work just fine, so long as you follow a similar principle (bringing it down -6db ish to start and going from there) I honestly don’t have a video on treating low end / boomy tracks like that just yet but I appreciate you pointing that out so I can add it to the list and see what I can do in upcoming video. I would likely reach for a MB Comp or Dynamic EQ for that as well, so hopefully I can show off that approach in a video soon. Appreciate you reporting back on this! 👊🏼

New subscriber Im taking a step back to get my levels more correct. Question- do you know a ruff estimate on how much a 1 time mixing engineer would be and would they suggest recording at levels -10db to -20db before sending them the vocals Thank you
@5piece
4 ай бұрын
Appreciate this question. Lots of variables here, like all things mixing, there isn't exactly a one-size fits all answer. Mixing engineers range from $50 to thousands depending on the person's experience and track record. I find a happy medium for an actual, GOOD engineer is at least $300-$500 per song, but it really depends. Low price points PROBABLY mean the engineer is probably inexperienced or templating everything to the point where your record may come out good, or not even close. Good if your music is "cookie-cutter" but I find every song is unique and requires its own love and attention. A good mixer will obviously mix music that is similar to what you make, and music that you think sounds good (otherwise, why hire them!?). They'll also work with you, communicate clearly throughout the process regarding what's required and timelines, provide revisions in case they don't nail it on mix 1, and in the end, give you everything you need to release the song properly (including radio edits, performance edits, DJ packs and so on). Or at least, an engineer like ME would do that ;) In terms of recording level headroom, yes - you'll want to have headroom on vocal recordings. I did a video on this many years ago, but its worth revisiting: kzitem.info/news/bejne/2XxmvniEm2p7lqAsi=A0vCTAmgVItm31lr

@5piece

What are you referring to exactly by "do this"? If you're referring to shooting the video after I mixed the song, then technically YES but of course after removing what I did in the mix and basically re-creating it during each section of the video to demonstrate the points I'm making (otherwise my videos would be hours long of me working through things). Plus sometimes I make a decision in the moment that I later, after a break and listen on fresh ears, decide to remove/undo so I'd rather demonstrate something closer to the final product with committed decisions. If you meant something else, let me know, and I'll try to help,
