Thank you!
Where can I find the song?
The song is "Same Kind of Life" by Finlay--it's a v good one!
Would you just use a Trigger software to blend in or replace. It sounds like a Blend would be perfect.
Thank you, great question! I agree, a blend can be very helpful. With the video example, the drums are quite roomy, which can make it difficult to isolate the beater of the kick or body of the snare. So blending/augmenting can be a great option by looking for a sample that provides what's missing in the recording capture. In this case, a clicky kick sample might be a good help
@@makeediblemusic Thanks.
Hey scott, thanks for this - really informative!!!
Greg, thank you! (saw your edit--is it working okay for you?)
@@makeediblemusic yes thanks i figured it out you have to rename the file name with extension . als and that fixed the issue :)
Great! I'll look into making it more straightforward on my end... Let me know how the template works for you! I'm thinking about making some variations/additions too
Well said
I like the Red 3 transparency, it's a clean comp, I use it when I already have a track with audible harmonics and distortion and I don't want to add more harmonics. I like it a lot on clean beefy subs.
Yes, I like it a lot too, for the same reasons! Those are some great situations to put it to good use
Hi, can I use 003 digi as protools artist interface?
Yes, certainly! It should be available in the preferences menus to choose as an interface
You explained this very well. Thank you.
Very glad to help!
thanks. this is one of the best tutorials I have watched.. just what I need
Thank you as well! I'm very glad it helps
Moongels and hit hard
Well explained, thanks!
Thank you as well!
Just wanted to say great video! Really enjoy your teaching style. Thank you for this lesson.
Thank you as well! It really means a lot
Great video. I see you have the eq before the compressor. Wont the eq moves get soaked up by the compressor?
Very good question, thank you for asking! In this case, no, they won't--these broad EQ filters are meant to shape the tone of the bass to where it balances right within the rest of the mix, and then the compressor is meant to lock that tone into place
@@makeediblemusic Well it certainly sounds good. Thanks
But how do you find the fundamental
GREAT question, thank you for asking it! The fundamental frequency for a kick drum is usually between 40-75 Hz (sometimes up to 90 or 100 depending on the drum). If you sweep an EQ filter that's shaped like the one I boosted, starting from the higher area ~75 Hz and moving gradually downward to lower frequencies, you'll find a point that has a much more focused "thud" compared to the frequencies surrounding it. If that thud doesn't come forward, you might just need to boost that EQ filter a bit more and repeat--but it's there!
My difficulty has been specific notes are very loud while some are normal volume. Not sure if this is a microphone problem or bass issue.
It might be the instrument--but one thing you might try is to lower the clip gain of just those single notes that are very loud, to try and bring them to the same volume as the surrounding notes
the red 2 eq doesn't have an input gain. How do i know i'm not clipping on the input?
Thanks for getting in touch! A couple ways you could check--if you've just opened up the EQ with no adjustments yet and the meter on the top right of the plug-in stays lower than 0, then the level is in a good place. Otherwise, you could add your DAW's stock utility/gain plug-in before the EQ to bring the input level down or up if needed
What's been frustrating you about mixing bass lately? Too loud? Too quiet? Something else?
The title of song??
This song is called "Long Way Home" by David Tyo--it's a good one!
Yess mixing bass is difficult 😢😢
Tell me about it!

Hi Scott! Great video :)
Oh hello there!
This my absolute FavTape Pluggy like it much betta then the DPS Aberantt wehich many like but this iss special sauce.
Yes it's a fun one!
dude say "now i set attack and release to the fastest" and turn buttons on slowest.. I am confused
That's okay! Thank you for wondering. 1176 compressors have a quirk where the attack/release settings are opposite to other compressors. Usually, compressors are faster to the left and slower to the right. But 1176 compressor attack/release times are faster towards the right and slower towards the left
@@makeediblemusic thank you for explonation..
Beginner here. I'm very glad to stumble upon your channel!
Me too! Let me know anywhere you start feeling stuck, I'll be glad to help
Side chain
Is this just machine-calculated application of EQ?
Can someone explain why anyone ever would use this? I don't get it.
It's a good tool for a newbie
i've been searching for sample room sound video for some time and suddenly it appeared on my youtube home page. really cool approach for imitating real life reflections of room!
I'm glad you found me! It's a fun exploration process to layer and emphasize different reverbs
It is my understanding that when using the internal sidechain, the whole signal still gets compressed. The internal sidechain only affects what triggers the compressor.
Interesting and educative ❤
Whew! The studio is HOT today
How did u get these stems! I received them to practice mixing by a teacher
They're from Cambridge, a great resource for practice! I share them with my students too
Should you reuse it for a remaster that youve overdubbed instruments on?
I haven't tried it out for that use case myself--but I expect it would be useful! In this video, I was surprised at how much the tone had changed with the plugin yet it still sounded clean. I think to get the overdubs to sit right it would be worth a try
@@makeediblemusic Do you think you have to get technical with the plugin like you did, or just use universal and learn over the loudest part of the song is okay?
@@MacEnstein Just universal would be a good idea, and then to choose a setting that fits best to keep it quick and easy
@@makeediblemusic thank you, sir
Excellent!Thanks
5:45 the way I understand it is the knee gets sharper at higher ratios. Btw attack time typically ranges from 20 to 800 microseconds, the "slowest" attack is under one millisecond! Atb
AMAZING PLUGIN - VERY SLEPT ON
Thanks, gonna try this
where do you put balancer if you have many plug ins in your track? first or last? please reply thank you
GREAT question--place it first, or perhaps second if you need an initial EQ to filter out some frequencies that aren't helping the sound: areas like deep low-end rumble, or noises that aren't part of the music

Super useful. Thank you.
I really appreciate you and your educating content! Greetings from Germany
Thank you, Fabian! Let me know of anything you're working on learning and I'll look forward to giving some help
@@makeediblemusic actually the principal of compression stages in a production. I always hear in professional tracks a lot of pressure and cohesion. Maybe it's because the groups and parallel processing of groups...it can't be done with one compressor that's for sure.
You're definitely on the right track when thinking about group- and parallel processing. And those are in addition to individual channel processing, plus compression and limiting during the mastering stage. It's compression galore, though they're applied differently at each stage
nice video - thanks!
I overlooked it usually as I had no idea what was going on, I'll try to use it more often.
It's worth experimenting with! Might make some steps easier
Very slow attack time? Under 1ms isn't generally considered very slow, 1176 only has two attack times, fast and faster
Haha v true - here very slow is relative only to very, very fast in this case
Tip number one… Use the real thing. Don’t use plug ins.
Wanna share that infinite money glitch?
Why? Have you ever done a blind test in a mix? Bet you can't tell the difference.
@@EdwinDekker71 yeah most of those who say it are stuck in the past
Bro do simple videos like this on whatever or all plugins and you’ll be UA-cam famous. This was epic simple and extremely informative. GREAT WORK.
Thank you! I definitely think I'll do some more--let me know if there are any plugins you'd like to see
