Love the way you explain and how much you love doing what you do. I am not that type of person that leaves comments on every video, but I just enjoy watching your tutorials and I am pretty sure I am not the only one. Keep up the good work! We learn a lot from you
For any Logic Pro users out there like myself, to invert the phase of a track: add the audio effect plugin Gain, you will find the option there can't miss it.
It can also be a good idea to set your clipper output to -1.1db... when your track gets converted to mp3 it will add 1db of gain boost to your track. So if your daw mix ceiliing is set to -0.1, you will get a file that is actually +1.1 and will be clipped... This is why when you post beats online or to instagram etc they will sound crushed and distorted. Thats not actually a bad thing for drill but if you want a clean undistored mp3 then set the clipper or limiter ceiling to -1.1db. (you can cross check this info with Izotope who make ozone
man that shit with producers / sample makers not tuning their shit to C infuriates me so much. took me years to understand why my 808s sounded out of key no matter what, because I assumed they were tuned to C like many samples. As a music theory novice, i was so frustrated over why some 808s would never sound i key until I learned to get/guess the key using edison.
@@mrc.3282 I know man, but I'm trying using a bit of distortion and about +3db eq around 500hz, but I still hear the 808 too "shy" on little speakers like mobile phone...
Quick question... what would be your process when sending this off to be mastered/mixed with artist vocals? Are you leaving the soft clipper on and bouncing as is or are you taking that off, bringing everything down -6b to leave headroom etc?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Anytime I need to mix any type of beat I’m watching this video
Bro will you try another soulker tutorial?? Just about the melodies cause I cant find the sounds like his melodies...His sounds are unique always
That's why Soulker doesn't make any tutorials, he doesn't want everyone's beat to sound like his, he wants to keep his unique touch
man still gotta look this up every time I mix
So much useful information, thank you for this!!
Yeah, i need more mixing tips, especially for 808s, thanks man🖤

Chase your dreams. Take risks! Talk that talk and post that beat. If your dreams don't scare you you are not dreaming big enough!
