    Synth Layering
    ------
    Round Tones Dull and Soft , good for foundation
    -Sawish for upfront layer.
    -Turn up octaves to help layers, turn up the sync or proccess a layer differently to make it stand out more
    -Cut extra frequencies not helping the layer.
    Kick Layering:
    -Again make each sound play a role.

  • @cooloutcoexist
    @cooloutcoexist 5 років тому +3

    In your video, where you mixdown your individual tracks to audio, to start mixing a creatively finished song, you turn off the EQs and some other effects first and I get why, I think. In it you say, that if the respective effect is integral to the sound, you let it on for that process. So in this case for the EQ'd layers I recon you would not turn off the EQs on the layers, cause they are part of the sound of the instrument. Is that correct? Thanks, I love your content and the way you present it :-)

Loading back those track in the arrangement view for mixing, how do bring those effects and automation back or don't i need them back??????

    • @syokiofficial
      @syokiofficial Рік тому +2

      this is kind of an old comment but to anyone wondering. maybe u do now but 3 years u didnt quite get it. There are two things, 1. sound design. 2. Mixing. So mixing is stuff like cutting some hertz in eq, stereo shaping, gain staging, sidechaining, gluing things together. With underbellys method, you dont do mixing while producing or doing sound design, dont do any automation when producing or any kind of reverb effects and such, thats mixing most of the time. Now, sound design on the other hand, DONT TURN OFF THOSE EFFECTS, if you put a phaser with distortion on a sound and it will make a unique sound, those effects are what makes the sound, or you have a bass synth loop and you automate the pitch envelope so it creates some kind of vowel, you dont turn that off during exporting!! because without those effects and automation, its not that sound anymore and when u export it turned off, u will basically be doing sound design in a mixing stage. Now underbellys guides are really nice, but there is nothing wrong not bouncing anything and just do mixing and stuff while producing, what underbelly said, its really good for begginers because they tend to lose focus on producing and end up mixing on a kick drum for hours and all the ideas will go away, so its advisable to quickly make an arrengement and then do mixing.
