- Опубліковано 31 жов 2019
- In this free mixing masterclass Adam "Nolly" Getgood walks through the Periphery song "It's Only Smiles" - with a twist! All the drums have been replaced with programmed versions using the P IV: Matt Halpern Signature Pack. In the class, Nolly covers everything from master bus processing to reverb, EQ, compression, and automation strategies, using a variety of plugins and techniques.
But wait...THERE’S MORE!
YOU CAN MIX ALONG WITH THE TUTORIAL! All you have to do is download the stems and midi for FREE here - bit.ly/GGDSmilespt1

Looks like the key to perfectly mixing guitars is to have a perfect input tone
Is it just me or does Nolly's voice makes the masterclass 10x better?
Backed lmfao

thanks dude hahaha people who comment with time stamps always deserve a medal
you all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Walker Elliott instablaster =)
@Kylan Marley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Almost 2 years later - I have no clue how this only has only approximately 67,000 views. Seriously an underrated video.
I had no idea there was a sax here, it's fucking beautiful.
I didn't either!
Adam "Nolly" Getgood the Messiah of tone.
35:52 - First time I've ever heard the term "sausaged" and I'm totally okay with it.
my reaction exactly.
There’s a joke plugin called ‘sausage fattener’ thrown around in a few audio forums :)
Kinda comforting to see that even Nolly can't explain some of his mixing moves. Maybe I still have hope.
watching these mixing vids made me realize one thing: once you're a pro at mixing you kinda go full circle and do the same things you did as a complete noob (but this time with purpose)
"yeah, so I put on this weird plug-in and I kinda don't know what this does, but turning this knob makes the track sound better" - t. some total noob, but also every pro having a mixing vid on youtube
I love how unafraid Nolly is of using Soothe and pushing it to audibly hear a smoother sound. I see so many people trying to be so subtle with Soothe, just BARELY touching like .5dB of reduction on those notches, almost pointless. The brain is a fickle thing, sometimes making you think that what you're doing is doing something, when really your brain just makes you think something is happening that you "expect" by simply clicking on a plugin.
It's because soothe can start to get really harmful by taking away important resonances to the sound and essentially making it lose all of it's power. As with everything, it's situational.
That synth part just makes me want to cry. What a beautiful choice of instruments and melodies
It's incredible how much fidelity we lose with the final product being streamed... I love this song even more now that I can hear so many details, I can't imagine hearing it in the studio
Can you teach how to mix in that swallow at 35:55
Boy you can really tell nolly is in his wheelhouse ....I'm truly happy for him and periphery to have had an amicable and respectful split, they are family always but nolly wants to be producing and he should be he is outstanding
Nolly, I just want to say that you are so amazing at what you do! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us so generously!
I’ve been doing that PowAIR trick all this year. :) when Nolly does it, you know it’s a good move
Couldn't wait for Part 2 let's goo!
You rock Nolly, thanks for sharing!
This is pure gold. Thank you so much.
'The guys from Periphery'
Thanks for your awesome mixing tutorial!
These videos are really helpful. Thank you GGD and Nolly!!!
Awesome, Thanks so much for sharing these videos Nolly.
Thanks for all the tips!
that IR loader looks pretty cool. Looking forward to hearing more about that.
still can't believe this is free. Thank you Nolly
I cannot thank you enough for putting this out for us to see, Adam. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Always the best videos. Mixing is hard and this is my birthday gift. Thanks so much for this Nolly. Much respect.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard - thank you for changing my life boys
I love you guys for sharing all this knowledge with the community. So take my money!
found this to be very helpful and very inspiring! as a huge fan of your work i really enjoyed the song and i am ever so thankful for all the valuable information you provide us the the listeners for no cost at all. bless you Nolly.
Part 2, let's go! I love Nolly's videos
A cab plugin from GGD? I'm gonna keep my wallet ready
Holy shit that synth mid freq cut tip! Thank you!
Thank you Knowledge Knolly
Nolly quickly becoming a legendary tier producer
he's already there though
HOLY noise batman! 23:00 That lead tone without the cab sim is unbearable, but cuts like crazy still after you apply the cab.
Nolly, you killed it again! Thank you so much for doing these videos. I could watch you mix all day long.
awesome content!
I fucking love periphery! Although i haven't had the time to sit down and give Hail Stan the listen it deserves (cause you know Periphery albums are something you really should get intimate with with a pair of headphones) And this is the first time i've heard this track. Alls ive got to say is I got goosebumps listening to it. Amazing work!
How did you came with the dist bass? Is it your usual B7K or your KSR amp? Thanks! :)
Did anyone else enjoy the production on P3 more than P4? If so, how would you describe the difference? I feel like it's just too much warmth, maybe too compressed on sublows?
Thank you so much for these! Just to clarify. Do you send all of the the instruments to a bus then send that bus and the vocal bus to the master bus? You touched on it in the first video but never got back to it. Thanks again from a happy customer!
Love it!! ❤
Crazy how common that soft lo pass on guitars is. I usually really dig those airy frequencies in a guitar tone.
22:48 👀👀
This will be my new ASMR.
Ah, QL Spaces. It is so good...then again, it ought to be, since the developer stated that it cost insane amounts of money to make. My go to reverb for my orchestral stuff!
Great video. I wasn't able to download free stems and midi though. I go to linked page and it says "Just download the free stems and midi here:" and there is no link to download anything. I even checked source of the page because I though my browser was acting up but nope, no link whatsoever :(
The amount of knowledge that has been provided to us for free is more than we even deserved.
27:09 Do you have a loved one suffering from irritable bowel syndrome?
the solar system has nine planets
Those tiny eq moves make a huge difference!
"Pianer"
lol I love these guys
I’m actually quite surprised to you don’t mess with UAD stuff. It’s a great way to stay in the box without sounding like you’re staying in the box. They’re tape machine, channel strips and bus compressors are top notch.
I'm a bit confused on how to split the wav files when importing them into logic pro. I see he has all the guitar parts in different tracks yet when I try to do this its importing the guitars into a single track. Does anyone here know how to handle this?
I wonder what would happen if Nolly used UADs . Nolly , you are top!
Anyone knows how he made the distorted tone ?
I would love to see the actual logic file :)
wait, where is the rest of the drum mixing? I don't think anyone got close to what yours sounded like cause you missed some steps?
Hi Nolly, what did you use for bass grit?
Nolly's bass playing is so tight it almost sounds programmed
I have so much to learn lol
This video is a mf gold mine
It saddens me that Nolly refers to Periphery as "they" now. :( Really reminds us of the separation.
I know. Being that he still plays bass on the record, and mixes the record, I see him as a member of the band who just does not tour. But
I guess he doesn't see it that way lol
Doesnt sadden me. Nolly is a beast and is still connected to periphery he just cant tour and spend as much time. also he is making a name for himself with mixing albums such as alien and holy hell
Very aptly named "sexophone."
Watching this raises a question, the stems provided are instrument groups, have they been processed with the processing you're showing us, or has everything been bypassed?
Bypassed otherwise there would be no point in doing this
@@3AwesomeLetsPlayers not sure it's so cut and dry. If it was bypassed, theres a few moves he does on individual tracks that we wouldnt be able to do. By that logic he shouldnt have shown us anything but the buss processing, right? Maybe I'm just crazy, idk. It was a genuine question though, it seems like your response was unnecessarily flippant.
The stems provided are mixed
It is indeed pointless. They probably just took the album stems they sell instead of exporting every single track. Can't think of any reasons why.
@@escalator9734 did you reference against the producer pack? That's interesting. I think the point behind this was to kind of show what nolly did to achieve those mixed sounds as sort of a demonstration of how he mixed within that context, as well as mainly showing you a way to process the P4 kit and other GGD kits. My belief is that the goal of these guys is to give everyone the knowledge to mix a competitive sounding record, in the hopes that people will focus more on songwriting rather than chasing tones, which seems to be the trend in many young self producers these past few years.
@@silura8349 I don't know what it's called I just saw it when picking up the free stems.
I think the same way you do about the videos, but I guess it was more motivated as a ggd ad than a real educational thing, like a nail the mix style.
I don't like it but there's nothing wrong with that, they're here to sell their product not give free knowledge/practice, that has monetary value (again like nail the mix).
It's still a great watch, the mic is broken down in video and we get a view of what a great not so common sounding engineer does, in detail. Then stems themselves are pointless in that regard.
But yea it's always good to have pros laying down knowledge, it's gonna be helpful for a lot of people and I only wish I had this kind of content we have know from all these channels/articles back when I started.
Zilla cab sim, hell yes!
where are the stems and midi? the link does NOT show!
Sometimes I really wish I could see behind your talking head cam when the faders are on the screen
Love that pianer and sexaphone
Why does he use two different eq on bass bus? Why stock logic and FF Q2? Didn´t they do the same thing?
Andraws Santos my guess is that the Pro-Q uses a lot more CPU. It looks like he mostly uses it for the complex curves and the really simple ones are left to the stock plugin
ggd ir? i can die
Wow...
Subtitles please !! Thanks
lmao literally one dislike. Nolly is our favorite.
Can't download tracks :(
27:09 I only came to learn how they mixed one of my favorite songs and I ended up sad with that part :(
“Do you know someone suffering from irritable bowel syndrome?”
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi all, can anyone help me out? I'm using Cubase 10 and when I import the drum midi it creates two separate midi channels, with one having the bulk of the midi. The other channel is a .nka file extension which is for NI Abbey Roads Drummer. It is not all condensed in one midi track as Nolly's above. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Drag one of the midi files on top of the other holding control/option and when both are together go to the midi tab and hit bounce selection. That will fuse both parts into one. Then you'll have to figure out the midi map on your own. That's what I did when I got the stems and it worked 100%
@@_thaaatguy Thank you for the reply! I will give it a go this evening. Have a good weekend
@@691High no problemo, amigo! If you couldn't figure it out I'd be able to send you the midi already fixed.
@@_thaaatguy actually, couldn't get it going.. 170 BPM and was not synced up. if you can send me the midi, id really appreciate it.
@@691High I couldn't fit it in any actual tempo (which wasn't provided) but I got the two midi files that loaded when I imported the tracks to work together as one. I'll send it to you. Hit me up, man. atunfromhell@gmail.com
I think the snare pokes out way too much, the attack needs to be tamed a bit but everything else is awesome
Why did you guys remove the stems for this :(
They are still available. Head to the first video and sign up to get them :)
@@GetGoodDrums Yes thx, was able to doenload via the phone but not via Chrome for some reason. 🙄
"the vocals he has provided me are pretty well sausaged already" lol Nolly with the low key dis 35:50
That isn't a dis. He's saying the vocal tracks are already treated and compressed. Compression tames the peaks in audio files which can leave the waveform looking like a sausage, which is a comparison Nolly makes frequently when he talks about compression. There's even a bus compressor plugin called the Sausage Fattener! Not even close to a dis.
0 unlike because of pure 100% data -- Respect ^^
44:48
It's Only Violas.
This mix is amazing, but as a sax player I have to say: that MIDI sax sucks hard xD Thank you for the mastercalss, sensei Nolly!
Zilla cabs prototipe
26:59 Love me some good ol' SEXAPHONE
Hmmm yes.
I N T E R E S T I N G
32:25 Elfen Lied
"sexaphone"
Does he look bored to you
I bought dsp. It sounds like the rest. Shit. I have better luck with a 100 dollar mixer and a sm58.
Hahahaha Sexaphone
tfw nolly's DI sounds way better than your mixed bass...
how much i love these classes, but how much i hate this voice and the style of singing.reminds me of some 90's pop punk
love the music......love the production.Vocalist is talented...i just think that this style of vocals is more suited for broadway, or school kids from Mary Poppins or somthin.
