Alright the mix is done! Sort of. You still need to send the mix to the client and get their approval. In this video I talk about some things that you are going to want to do before you send the mix to the client, and how to handle it when they send their feedback.

One of the last things that I like to do as a part of the mix process is dial in some processing on the mix bus to glue the mix together and finalize the sound. Check it out!

Before you can mix acoustically recorded (aka "live") drums you need to edit them. In this video I show you some of the techniques that I use to edit a live drum take and prepare it for the mixing process.

How to Prepare Your Tracks for Mixing
Was this demonstration straight from Shimmer Shake Strike 2 only or were there any sounds from the expansion ?
Luna’s sound is incredible.
Absolutely love it!
That was one of my deal breakers, now if they can create a plug-in to do hardware inserts, Im IN , however as a hybrid mixing engineer that is my biggest deal breaker.
Lyrics, Production, Arrangement and Vocals...All in perfect Balance. Great work Bro..💯💯
Great video! I love your laid back vibe and I'm also loving Shimmer Shake Strike. Now I need to save my pennies. Thanks.
Quick question, i have the x32 producer, and i have the additional SD card expansion- so my question is - is it possible to record to the SD card with effects and EQ Also being recorded with out using a DAW? Please say yes and if so, how to set it up thx 🙏🏾
@@IMakeBeats I believe so! You can typically record the main mix to the card. I don’t remember the routing off hand, but I would recommend taking a look at your routing table.
@@EdMcCraeMusic Thanks for responding... I've been asking this question for about a yr now and no one seems to have a tutorial explaining the correct routing setup to make this happen... I'm not a DAW user, I want to be able to completely mix and master right in the mixer standalone... Hope you do a video showing how this is setup up... Everyone on UA-cam only speaks from the DAW side and never covers the standalone side of routing Effects, Compression, EQ ETC to all be captured to the SD card multi track recording...
@ The next time I have my hands on an X32 I will take a look!
@@EdMcCraeMusic Ok Thx- I thought you owned one... My Bad!
@ No worries!
I love slate digital!!!
Luna is such a great concept. ARA 2 integration would be the single most important addition for me to consider changing from my Studio One / Neumann MT 48 combo . Thanks a lot for this informative video, Ed.
dope dope dope track my nigga kkkkkkkkkk thanks 4 the class bro
Have mercy, Lord. Powerful message in this song. Thank you❤❤🙏🙏
hello sir help me to produce music im a aspiring artist from philippines ❤
@@motibstv You can use the links in my channel profile to schedule a consultation.
Hi Ed! You can Cmd+Click on Solo Button to switch between the two.
Bro! Have u tried the Restream plug in on the DAW? To send the DAW mix to the Streaming Program but everything in the same computer 😅
Not yet but I have heard about it!
Ed I am confused! When I worked in studios we bounced when there were a number of tracks to put together onto one track. Your demonstration of bouncing was only one track, and could be done easier by selecting a section of a track in Ableton or Cubase copying and dropping onto a new track surely? To blend the effects simply freeze etc. Unless this option is available for multiple tracks going down onto one track, I cannot see the point so please enlighten me. Thanks.
Hi Rob! So the goal in this case isn’t to comp multiple tracks into 1, it’s to bounce down a version of the track with whatever the plugins were doing printed onto it. Freezing is also an option but you technically still need the plugin on the track for it to work. If for some reason you lose access to the plugin it won’t work. Think of it as a more permanent version of freezing.
Great video!!! I got alot of tracks in a project, that won't bounce. Is just say, cannot freeze thise tracks. I works in other projects. Have you tried this?
Your voice is awesome
Thank you!
My brother! I cannot thank you enough for this video. You just helped me solve a huge problem we’ve been having.
@sto8058 THIS is why I make these videos man. This really blessed me today. Thank you!
Nice!
Great video! And great beats. I'm gonna buy Shimmer Shake Strike 2 now.
I asked Grok AI to summarize your notes for UAD so hopefully we can submit these as feature requests! "Suggestions for Improvement Mentioned: For the bounce feature, the user suggested that the bounce settings should automatically appear when choosing to bounce a track in place, similar to how it works for session-wide bounces. For track presets, there's a desire for more granular control over what aspects of the channel (like sends, track name, color) are saved or loaded with the preset. These updates are significant for Luna users, enhancing workflow efficiency by allowing for quicker setup and management of sessions with complex plugin chains or when needing to conserve processing resources."
That was a really great video! I like how you explained and demonstrated all those features. The Luna 1.8 update is impressive, especially how they’ve implemented those features. You can also drag the track presets from the browser window onto a track or next to a track and it will create that track or bus automatically. By the way, you mentioned Logic a few times. Which one do you prefer to record vocals, edit, and mix in, Luna or Logic?
I prefer Logic for midi production and tracking, and Luna for editing and mixing.
Track Presets are game changing. Love it. The new Browser is fantastic u can add folders too (right click new folder), lets hope they add a Sample Browser too.
I love the look of Luna , it's pretty, but for me , unless I can create orchestral midi music, with all the scale and chord tools availabe in cubase and Studio one and to a lesser extent Logic Pro, I cannot move over. I wonder if you can save 8 tracks loaded with plug in instruments , like a string section and save that as a preset like you can in S1. I am not sure that UA are focused on midi , Luna seems to shine when used for tracking and production . Otherwise I like the look and feel of Luna
I use it specifically for editing and mixing, but all of these comments about the production limitations have me intrigued. I’m going to attempt to produce a song just with Luna and see how it goes. Maybe it’ll be a video next year 🤔🤔🤔
@EdMcCraeMusic - Dude how do you think daws get better, with out people complaints, and asking for different things.. if you just a yesir man than nothing going to get better PERIOD!!
@@duimusic100 Agreed.
What's the hype, is it literally because it's UA?
In my opinion it’s a great alternative to ProTools and it sounds amazing, especially if you are interested in emulating an analog console.
Until they make a real piano roll, I just can't use Luna
The current Pianoroll is just a place holder. They are cooking!
@ I mean, most people are doing mid production using a piano roll these days you’d think they’d spend more effort on that
@@MaximusWhyman yes they are working on a real midi editor. I heard they releasing Luna 2 next year.
Agreed
I just started using Luna and I'm eager to learn this DAW! Thank you for all your videos, keep them coming, fam!
So, Luna is way like 20 years behind other DAWs? Lol
@@paulmisty8998 It’s still a very new DAW comparatively.
Being able to use real hardware like studio one
Turnable Update these should've came with it.. What we need is a better piano roll.
@@duimusic100 I haven’t done any midi work with it at all since I prefer Logic Pro for that. What’s the issue with the piano roll?
I'm hoping for custom shortcuts, clip fx and ARA2 support before moving to Luna.
I saw a video from a beta version with Custom Shortcuts. Its coming..
@iliravdyli4109 awesome.
Cant wait to be able to use this daw on windows. Unfortunately I still cant get it to run. Hopefully they fix that soon
really appreciate you making this vedio❤very helpful
Can i bounce a track with the mixer effects on it? Ie; reverb and delays
If they are through a send then no. You would need to solo what you want and bounce a stem. If you put the reverb or delays directly on the track you're bouncing in place then yes.
This tutorial is EVERYTHING!!! Thank you sir….you have a new subscriber. Looking forward to learning more from you. God bless!!
@@deebyrd8383 Glad this helped!
Good job on the video. I'm crazy excited about having the bounce feature as well. Can't wait for ARA2 integration and LUNA 2.
That would be great but imo I don't think a numbered release approach is the way to go. Keep it Luna, keep it updated and record. Putting numbers on things is just putting numbers on things. Just opens up more confusion for users.
One of the best plugins I've ever put in the toolkit, I adore it. So do my roommates, I usually record that stuff at like 4am to minimize background noise. If you listen close to one of my jams you can hear "simon shut the f up" heh
@@RaspberryMeatsicle Lol! Don’t let them bully you 👊🏾
You can really play those KEYZ bro smooth
@@norryellzy3455 Thank you!
appreciate the detail and real-world usage of the horns - I just got these horns, but haven't had a chance to get into them yet, so this was helpful in getting a sense of what they can do. Thanks Ed
I have this and the WA76 (I put it after, not in the insert - works well that way) - they are great for my home studio, I love them!
Can't believe no one has left a comment, I'm hearing this for the first time and it's OUTSTANDING! 🔥🔥🔥
Who not sitting hear for a hour to get inspired from someone that knows!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love Keyscape... but those file sizes kill me...
I feel you. Those file sizes are crazy. I’m glad you can put them on an external drive.
Hi Ed, can you have something on Reaper as well?
Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with Reaper.
Great review of SHP! I'm getting an upgrade...for all the right reasons!
Thank you Ed!
Yes
Great work sir
Thank you!
Very nice
Excellent
Yes I am but need a tutorial on how to hook it up to my keyboard standalone.
