    You were the first person I've ever seen explain / show leveling the way you do with the channel rack and that was something i had never really known or used until now. I saw it in one of your more recent videos but its cool to hear you say it back when you did this!

    Nice. Another way to get good low end balance is get the kick hitting -3 on a vu meter then bring up the bass so when they hit together it hits 0 on the vu meter works most of the time.

    At 5:00,
    You adjusted the volume of the kick on the channel and not the Mixer. What's the difference between changing the volume on the pattern as opposed to the mixer where you had kick?

    • @LifeStyleDidIt
      @LifeStyleDidIt  6 років тому

      MghUnit407 it’s pre fader, so it will adjust the volume before it hits the plugin chain, so you don’t clip in the plugins

      CorescopePlays yes, they don't have much stereo information in their sounds, so it's better to leave it in mono to give more room in the stereo for your other drums and melodies.
