Hey Miami great video I think it would be really cool if you guys do a vid about the process of creating tempo map to record live drums and the preparation of it.

I feel like the automation tip here is massive. I almost forgot about the impact it has until recently mixing and realising that, as you said, I can’t tweak a compressor to fit every moment of the song differently.

Thanks for another good video. Correct me if Im wrong when setting levels on your drums you apply gentle compression to the snare to make the peaks consistent and to make the tails fit the song. Then AFTER you EQ and apply another compression (main one). Am I right?

There’s no specific order or rules. What you described sounds like a good approach! When taming big transients like snares, it helps to use more than one compressor. You can also play around with limiters, saturation/distortion, transient designers, clippers, etc.

@@YeahButStilll thank you for your reply. So far I was always taming transients by applying either limiter or clipper at the very end of snare processing. That's why this technique presented in the video was new to me. What's the difference between applying gentle compression at the beginning Vs limiting/clipping at the very end? Thank you once again

@@LucasMichalski sorry for the late reply! I like to use compression first because it kind of eases the signal into the clipper/limiter. With compressors, you have your ratios which allow you to decide how much gain reduction is applied when the threshold is passed. So you can round off your peaks as gently as you’d like. Hard clippers and limiters don’t let anything pass the threshold. If you zoom in closely on your signal, you’ll see the peaks are squared off. It’s a much harsher transition to go from a point to a square, rather than a rounded off signal to a square and the audio will reflect that and sound more transparent. But again, there are no rules and different strokes for different styles of music! But in most cases, compressing first will yield more desirable results. Hope that helps!

Oh! Also, I don't think you've covered this topic, but I would love to see a video about making several tracks sound consistent for a release, be it an EP or a full length. I would love to know how much of the consistenncy between tracks is in the mind, or if it truly is the goal of a mixer, or mixers, across an album to make it as consistent as possible given that the nature of some albums have the input of multiple mixing engineers potentially across a variety of studios. It would be cool to know if there is specific elements that are considered 'musts' in terms of tonality, like the snare for instance, compared to guitars which are more likely to have a variety of settings per song anyway. Thanks!

that’s a cool snare, more 90s ‘TACK’ kind of sound we don’t hear much anymore these days, maybe i’m old haha i think tape saturation is always nice on snare also!

Cool info, but Miami, that snare sounds a little thin or tuned too high like ping, ping, don't you think? Missing your 'Sub'... lol. Snares should have some balls I would argue.

Man, however edited the video or used AI to remove the pauses - please hit the breaks. Almost all the words on cuts are cut and you don't need to remove a 0.2 sec pauses it's so annoying to listen to. Miami is always good at presenting but this video annoyed the hell out of me due to the edit.
