      @@pavle988 Well I must admit this video was a bit hard to understand at times. I really appreciate the effort these videos. But if your english is not flawless as a videomaker, I think it's better to take a little more time. I rewinded the first part 5 times and I still don't know what meter he means. Edit: This is by no means a burn, this video was awesome as are the others

    A good way to preview kicks in context of the track (or any samples like hats etc) is just put them all in a drum rack with a looped 4/4 pattern in the midi clip and use the up/down cursor keys to pitch up/down the notes s so you can audition the entire sample pack all to find one that fits.....
    I did this today using your smooth kick pack. Man that saved me so much time. I must have spent about 4 hours trying to tune a rumble kick made from a bad kick and I just couldn't get it right, neither the kick or the rumble were responding to the tuner at all. Was absolutely doing my head in. Now it sounds better than ever! Thanks a lot dude. Love your videos!

    • @Alice-Efe
      @Alice-Efe  3 роки тому +4

      Definitely! Putting them into a drum rack and changing midi works as well.
      And thank you for purchasing the smooth kick pack and hope it helps you with your productions.
      Al the best Jack! 😊❤

    I record takes, put them privately on SoundCloud and listen to them a day later on my computer, phone, any device that can play it, really. The fact you're hearing a track away from the DAW interface helps to hear what is wrong or identify quickly what needs changing.

    I would like to add one beginner mistake (it was for me at least).
    Doing sound design in the middle of writing a track and then getting lost in it. Now i always try to make sounddesign a separate process. So that when i make a new track i have lots of my own stuff to use. But i tend to treat it the same way as presets and not get to precious about my own sounds.

    Great video, thanks for the tips! I do have a question about the last one though. Do you also side chain sustained reverbs? For example the reverb in which the instruments sit? And maybe the longer drum reverb? Or is it only the sustained instruments themselves? I’d love to see more videos on the topic of creating cohesive spaces as well by the way.

    As for nr 12 or for frequency peaks in general try the spectrum grab mode in Pro Q 3 if you haven't. Just hover your mouse in the lower part of the EQ. But you're right always listen over looking when it comes to mixing. Assuming you're not ear fatigued after listen to the mix for too long (it'll numb you to harsh frequencies) always go for first impression mixing decisions. Take breaks. Also thanks Yalcin good tips much love 🤟❤️
