As a bassist, I must say this is very crucial for anyone producing modern dance music. Thank you Alice!
Happy to help 😊✌️
Sincerely I Love your transition as a person. But this honest respectful love is just an shadow to the positive emotions your content is really providing. Another great tip from You is helping me on my journey. Thank You Alice!
Great tutorial Alice! You're starting to show off some advanced stuff here and I'm absolutely loving it🙏🏼
This is so good. Been mixing 20 years but I love this technique.
Brilliant help will try this on my tracks. Many thanks
Excellent demonstration of how isolating and referencing specific bands can allow for you brain to make better decisions, without being fooled by the mids and other perceived loudness tricks when listening full spectrum. 👊🏻❤️
It is always a bit more tricky to hear specific bands when full spectrum is playing. Cheers Eph-Jay!
Thank you Alice, good stuff!
Great Video. Thanks for sharing.
WOW, What a fantastic approach!!
Best dance music tutorials on UA-cam! Thank you!
Bu sirlərini bizimlə paylaşdığı üçün böyük təşəkürlər, Alice ! Need more, davamı gəlsin😎
great tutorials, u present them in a really teaching way with graphics etc totally understandable and concrete
Thanks you very much Alice
the right level depend of the context, if the bass is the main element of your song then you can set up the level you "want", and build around the bass, there are many technics you can use, with the help of Voxengo SPAN for example, but this one is cool too. But yes, having at least one reference is important, it help a lot
i love this ! could you do a video on loudness / loudness meters ? im always confused between rms, LUFS, vs integrated and short term (for the whole mix, not just low end)
Fantastic content as always
Can you make a video showing how to use tracks as a reference to create new ideas?
Great tutorial!
omg thanks , just what I been searching for ❤❤
Cheers ✌️
thanks Alice for being so useful to all begginers around :)
Happy to help! ✌
is this something I can do across all frequency bands or just specifically for bass? thank you so much for another incredible video!!
Hocam I want to contribute a little more to this even though I am not as knowledgeable as you for sure :) What I like to do is to use a plugin on master channel which A/B's a selected loop on the referance track and your track, set a PRO-Q after the A/B plugin (to visualize better) and set EQ bands between 0-100, 100-200, 200-400, 400-1000, 1000-4000, 4000-20khz, do critical listening and surgical EQ to match the referance as closely as possible while keeping it at my taste :) I will also add this steps you showed me to my workflow from now on. Thank you for great content much love
I actually spent about a year searching for low end secrets. Doing my own experiments to analyze other tracks on the low end. Watched this video with the same interest. Hopefully. I did the same thinng with eq, I have made them a default template for all of my productions.
And I used sMexoscope, bluecat audio analayzer with 2000ms release and, 10 precision setting, peak line off, to find low end resonances and the level of each notes of kick and bass note.
With that I analyze two options, waveform (gain) with sMexoscope, volume levels by frequency (notes) with Bluecat audio analyzer. Why bluecat is cz its spectrum is working nicely in this case.
So I balance low end with equalizer on kick and basses (Tonality), and volume faders (levels). Now I'm kind of used to it and don't use reference tracks. Bcz the low end balance really depends on the sounds and the tracks we produce.
Thanks Alice, very interesting ✨
Happy to help! 😊
Now thats going Deep in your Bass!.. hahah Very cool way to dissect low end
hi! i love your videos, really usefull all of them... i was wondering if there is any chance that you make one about "how to make a track like Silver Panda" using his track Soul Connection or Close to me as reference. I love that type of melodic techno but really have no idea how to get there
what a great video !!!!
Killer video, Alice!
Thank you Nova! 😊
Very cool
Pure Gold Alice 👍
Thank you Vdub!
Great to see a good tutorial that is much deeper and more advanced than most of the yt crap. You really have a knowledge! You could work on your accent, but dont treat it as an insult or something like that, just a way to improve a channel that's already very good and usefull.
Danke!
Danke! 😊
I love you and your videos!
Really appreciate it! ❤️
Alice,the queen of premium sound, delivers alfa yet again. Thank you! Much love from random hungry Swedish producer
Aww thanks a ton, appreciate it! ❤️
awesome!!!
This is great.
By the way I really love your song Veil!
Aww cheers Gonzalez! ❤️
As far as the Low/High Pass EQing on the sub 200hz what are your thoughts on linear phase vs zero latency?
The perceived loudness should be matched between the two tracks first cause normally the reference tune will be mastered
thx for great tut. Do you split bass track 0-60Hz and 60-200Hz? What is Q on those? Thx
Amazing flow chart! Where can I get it?
Hey Alice, great video. Just one small comment a lot of the links to favorite FX plug-ins in the description don't work and go to a generic plugin boutique page rather than a specific product page. Maybe worth double checking them!
Thanks a lot for letting me know. I was actually about to update them.
For thecno rumble low end this technique works'??
Never knew you could do that with youlean. I was just looking at the LUFS number lol
You are the very best ❤
Aww thank a ton ❤
Ace tutorial covering all the bases (SORRY!) about how to produce and mix bass in any project. Love this channel so much Alice you're a legend. edit: a recent study from Canada has shown that people dance more if they 'feel' a sub that they can't hear. Turns out sub bass is incredibly important, so let's all push it hard.
Thanks a ton 😊 that study sounds super interesting. I would love to read it. Do you have a links for me 😊
Very interesting
Great tutorial, however I got lost at around 3:46. You mention that if the low loudness doesn't match, you can 'bring it down a bit more', but you don't explain how to do that. If we adjust peaks by changing the channel gain, then how do we adjust the loudness? Also, most of the discussion relates to the bass, but in the example, we are listening to both bass and kick. So, should we also be making adjustments to the kick?
Is this one of the final parts of mixing, or is it a part of mastering?
Thank you Alice for the knowledge.
A how to "Kalkbrenner" would be interesting. Tracks like Dockyard, Parachute etc. hard kicks, warm melodies.
Happy to help! There is a tutorial on him I made last year, have you seen that one?
@@Alice-Efe awesome. I‘v seen the 3 levels of techno but didn‘t see the „how to“. Thank you!
u the best!
♥️
hey alice. long time viewer here. Im happy with the video. will help alot in future productions. I would love to see a video on some harder genres / artists. Maybe you wanna check out protokseed. Insane audio engeneering by this guy
You never know 🥳
How do you know the bass levels for your reference track are correct?
Thanks, Alice. We don't want a never-ending sausage, after all, the variations add the spice. Love and light.
This is for mastering mainly right?
❤️❤️❤️
❤
just get the tonal balance control from Ozone, helps me big time.
But, instead of breaking the bass into different module, isn't it faster to use a multiband compressor instead ? And then something like Pha 979 for phasing ?
This method gives you a bit more flexibility and helps you matching closer. Also doesn’t create phasing issues. If you do it with only MB the sound will start to break apart for drastic changes between bands. For more subtle adjustments mb should work.
What's the solution for a high pass filter that's boosting the bass on its cut off frequency?, I think it's due to phasing but idk
Here it is not a problem as both reference and original uses same filter and boosted equally. And once the levels are fixed, you take of high pass / low pass filters.
Linear phase eqs are the tools to avoid high pass issues but they can create preringing with kicks. So it depends what you want to use it for.
I had a video about it couple of months ago, check that out.
@@Alice-Efe can you link the video please Alice
Does this Work for Hi Hats, Claps, Perc
As long as you can isolate them probably (low end is easy to isolate as there are not much going on there apart from sub bass) it should work
@@Alice-Efe Got it im going to do this ... Usually intro & outro there isolated ...But the Approach you just showed will probably work for it..THANKS
I dream of being famous and being able to entrust the mixing to a professional and just make music. always try to improve a little more every day the technical aspect of the mix but you have to be a little geek (or be a sound engineer with the training that goes with it) to go so far in the sound mixing
I hope you get there! There is nothing wrong with wanting to only focusing on artistic side of the music and leaving the technical details to engineers. 😊
@@Alice-Efe Sorry if my comment was a little bit disillusioned and thank you so much for your welcoming answer. Your videos always are quality learning tools which allows to progress at his own speed 🙏
what if I want to leave to headroom for mastering?
big thanks for tutorial btw
Thank you! Once you have finished mixing, delete the limiter and bring down the volumes.
Alice, I fucking love you. That is all.
Video liked but I do have a question: do you totally hate distortion fx? The music in the vid sounds horrendously clean.
Hey Alice, super interesting reference trick.
However;
If i got it right you basically put a limiter on your master track to match the limited style of the reference, and you isolate the bands in the mix bus ( lows, drums).
The problem is in the reference you use the eq after the limiter, while in your track you use the eq before the limiter (causing the limiter to only work on the filtered area, while on reference it works for the whole track since the eq is after)
Should be better to use the eq to filter directly on your track master bus after the limiter so its a 1:1 reference?
Maybe you have done like that and I missed that step.
Anyway keep going 😀
Hi Kide!
In original track; limiter first and low pass filter afterwards. Limiter is on the low end bus. That is reason I suggested at the end of video that if after level adjustments, the limiter is not limiting at all or limiting too much; then adjust the limiter and do the same circle again.
On reference track, the same, limiter first and low pass afterwards. And we pick a place in a track where it is less crowded and low end is driving the limiter.
And then we have YouLean for measurement after low pass filter.
I am lazy to watch whole video again but I think you can see both chain when camera zooms out on Ableton in some places.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
Crush on you
Metric A/B is another convenient tool for doing this.
There is a lot of clicks in the audio of your video, i had a hard time watching it without being distracted, 1:59 totally triggers me, sorry to say that, the tips in the video are great! (I have a problem with clicks....)
I have a question! Why English people doesn't speak so clearly like you? 🤔 Is very very good watching a tutorial and can understand all! Thanks 🙏♥
+your man or woman
Another premium trick from the very knowledgeable teacher Alice. Heartfelt thanks to you.🤓🎚🎛🎧
