I would even buy a poster like this 🎉
I'm in Berlin, Get me into the Guess list!!
Heartfelt thanks Alice - You continue to be such a help to me - May you rise up from strength to strength 👍👏🙏
The Mercurial Tones Kick are superb as well!
This is one of the best video about mixing I ever seen
Glad it was helpful!
You are so helpful, your pareto principle mixing tip in your techno course about starting with the biggest issues of what's lacking and then honing in on the minutia was SO cool!
Awww thanks a ton for kind words. And wow really appreciate the donation! All the best to you ♥️
thanks Alice for being so generous! This is gold!
I just want to comment again and say this is my favorite video on mixing! Seriously if you apply these it will help your mixes so much. I even made my own little chart from your chart that I apply to every mix I make now and I’m so happy how they come out. I’m finally at a similar pro level now. Thanks again for this info, you have my biggest support 💞
Was looking around for mixing tutorial with levels (explained) for ages. And finally!!!
Thank you, Alice! ❤
Tysm for teaching and sharing simple tools like this and not just trying to sell gear or plugins. It's so refreshing to see, this will be where I point new people, no doubt
Fantastic video! There's definitely new information in this video from pretty much every mixing video I've seen, and it's all great.
Heartfelt thanks Alice - You continue to be such a help to me - May you rise up from strength to strength 👍👏🙏
Big love Alice. You always have great content and good music! Thank you for all you do for the music production community!!
thank you, as always, another great video, been following your channel for years and you keep on giving value
Hands down best mixing video I’ve seen so far
Thank you, glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this guide. Was searching for so long for something like that. Awesome. This will improve my production so much like no other tutorial the last months
Really great to hear that the video will be helpful. Good luck!
I watched this video two days ago I doubted it would work as i don't a genre thats on the chart but it is similar to deeo house. Yesterday i tried this on one song and it made it song so professional that i couldn't believe that it was a dong i produced. I was smiling for hours realizing how powerful this is anyway i mixed 2 more songs after that. May all your dreams and desires come true you truly helped me just as i was starting to seriously consider giving up.. Thank you
Wow great video. This was extremely insightful. Thanks so much for your content.
This is great advice on how to really get good volume balance which I’ve been struggling with for a while now! Thank you 🙏
Simple, concise and brilliant! Thank you Alice.
Happy to help! ❤
Brilliant workflow! 😍
Your videos really helpful for me, I learn to many things watching your videos.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice guide, really helpful!
thank you for your detailed explanations and your valuable work!
Happy to help!
crazy, this is exactly how I mix my tracks. Good video Alice! I have been using a similar method for years.
Cool to hear that.
Many engineers I know also use very similar methods to get the mix to a good balance and then make all the extras afterwards.
This was more or less my try to consolidation of all the things I have learnt and I use. ✌️
So valuable, thank you!
The way you used Youlean is really clever! I had never thought to use loudness to mix and find levels, only to master! It's also really nice that you took the time to make notes for differences in various genres, as well as including that these are never hard and fast rules but rather suggestions that can be adjusted depending on the song - well done Alice! Thanks for the tips!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤ All the best to you!
Youlean is awesome!
Really helpful, you've contributed a lot to my knowledge
Thanks - great tutorial
Video with reference track would be super helpful
Got it!.
@@Alice-Efe please please please!
Alice just want to thank you for sharing all of this knowledge and all these skills. Already a huge fan of your UA-cam work and packs, can't wait to start with the melodic techno course I just bought. You deserve all the support and hope you'll have a blast in Berlin!
Aww thanks a ton! Hope the melodic techno course brings you tons of knowledge and inspiration. All the best!
I needed this video. Thank you so much !
Glad it was helpful ✌
This is a precious video, thanks. there is no certain db points of course but it takes you to really good point and you can adjust some db's by ear. Nobody willing to teach some real mixing tips but you!
This is what i've been dieing to find, a set of "rules" or standards i suppose to what level you're instruments should be relative to one another
There are so many takeaways in this video, I had to pause so many times. Making room for bands, setting levels, and it's cool to just watch how you personally approach the mixes--I wouldn't have caught the hi-hats taking over the mix at the end, but when you made the adjustment, it added so much drive to the feeling
Thank you and all the best with your mixes!
As time passes I appreciate you more because your Honesty And selfless sharing and you don't promote bad Products like many do .
Aww thanks a ton! I really try my best to help and try to share whatever I know.
Thank you Alice, you’re really helpful! 🖤
Happy to help!😊
This might lowkey be the best mixing tutorial on the internet🤣 Clear, concise and easy to follow💯 I printed/followed ur flowchart and the quality of my mixes immediately improved 1000x!! U are a genius sweet Sis, and u got a new subscriber🙌🏾 Thank u
Wonderful song. Beautiful mix. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 💙👍🏿
Thank you for kind word, I am happy to help!
As always amazing vid - thank you! If you upload the one with the REFERENCE it would be da bomb!!!!
Incredible video it makes so much sense
Love the flowchart! It kindof replaces the "mixing magic" with a tangible approach. I have some sort of similar workflow, but it is in my head only (no flow chart :)) and it starts with a kickdrum at -12 dB. And after that I mix all the other parts in, relative to that kick. As I usually mix psy-trance and uplifting trance, the relationship between the kick and the sub/mid bass is very important. I use different levels as a rule of thumb than you show here, but as you say, many things are depending on genre and style. You have a new follower in me. Thanks for the awesome vid.
congrats for the Ritter butzke gig. well deserved. Another great video
Thank a ton! It will be a cool gig!
Thx for the video, your tips are always very welcome
Happy to help!
I'm looking forward to buying your courses. Thank you Alice.
Hope they give you tons of inspirations and knowledge! 😊
hello Alice, I have been following you for more than 3 years,your tutorials always relevants, well explained and with a great video production ! Too bad you're not in FL... but your explanations are clear enough to be easily transposable! I love your songs... maybe a concert in France soon?!
Thanks Alice, this was a very informative video 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice tutorial...😊
Incredible video!!!
Amazing! Thanks Alice ❤🙏
Thank you!
Great Video!
This is a great tutorial. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
thank you for fixing my mix! I needed this. What a gift.
Any time!😊
@@Alice-Efe I love your tracks on soundcloud
It's reassuring to know that the way i'm thinking about my mix and sound selection is similar to the techniques shown here. Which gives me more confidence to push the creativity forward :-) Helpful video as usual.
Great, consistent and well organized tutorial, thanks! For measuring just the peaks, the mvMeter works better for me, because it does not take so much UI space.
The best Channel in YT for sureeee!!!! ✨
I think this has been the most helpful mixing tutorial I've ever seen. I don't have the best monitoring system, but I'm gonna go back to some projects and see if I can't improve the mix using this.
Hope it helps and improves your mixes. Good luck!
Very useful! Thank you!
Aww thanks a ton for the donation ❤️ Appreciate it!
Thank you so much i will try this 😊👍have great time ...
Happy to help and good luck! Hope it helps.
Epic as always Alice 🙌🎶
Thank you!
@@Alice-Efe thank U
Τhanx a lot !!! Very helpfull
immediate sub. Love your video and your vibe!
I appreciate that! ❤ Welcome!
yoo thank you I just applied this to my mix and it's acutally night and day difference
Yayyyy! Once you get used to the method you wont need the chart anymore. Good luck!
Love this! 🎉🔥
making flowcharts really helps with workflow for sure! awesome video!
Glad it was helpful!✌️
A nicely done video and a clear tutorial and explanation of the process. I appreciate the educative skills, including eloquence. And the joyful attitude towards music. :) There's more I could list that I appreciate, however I'll make this comment short. Just know I like your videos. I wish you a lot of lovely moments with music. :)
PS. I've been composing hardcore in the late 90's, early 2000's, no DAW, just an advanced tracker. Nowadays I play my synth and I like to just immerse in the music.
I tried to set up the Loudness meter on my kick Chanel and the fader dont Effekt the loudness in the plugin. Can somebody explain how to Show this waveform in the Plugin? Does it only work on Groups?
Thank you Alice its gona help me alot and please make an other video for Snare and clap.👍👍👍
Brilliant, thanks 👌
Cheers! ✌
I appreciate that you do more than just say "just raise or lower this until it sounds right." As a novice, I need to know what sounds right! Just because I can tell the difference between a pro and amateur track doesn't mean I know how many db should generally be between kicks and hats, for example.
A few seconds in and The first mix sounded wayyyy better to me, the second one sounded muffled and dull. I’m convinced I’ll always suck at mixing 😂
Your mixes might have sucked in the past, but your hair is a banger! ❤
so helpful and transparent, indeed very helpful +1sub
this was really good video best ive seen in a while im going to stop messing around with multiband compression now on the master lol
haha good luck!
Very nice video!
Thank you!
how can i download your chart ?
If video gets 2000 likes I will make it free to download! 😊

Pro level tips, and simple.
Her zaman ki gibi, fazlasıyla faydalı içerik. Setin de başarılar dilerim. Teşekkürler!
Good bless you
Great video
Amazing ! Can you do a video on mastering and the best way to go about keeping every song consistent in volume etc ?
I have a video on mastering on the channel actually. Check that one out :)
this is so helpful thank you
Happy to help, cheers!
This one is super simple to follow but probably one of the most effective tuts on mixing. Fact. Please do one on the reference route also nice one! peaCe
Glad it was helpful. After hearing the feedback on the comments, I will make a reference version as well.
Liked and subbed cause you shared the chart
Thanks for this tutorial. What is the name of the Preset you use in Hive?
I love you for this video
I really like this approach and I don't even do house/techno. Thank you!
Now I'm curious what the vocal flowchart is. 😁
Hi Alice. You are truly brilliant and infectious. Could you also give tips for an ambient techno? I would appreciate it.
this has helped my mix so much, just what I needed but where is the vocal flowchart?
Have fun in Berlin (RB near Spree river) ....maybe choose other Clubs too Maria , Club of Visionär, both for the after hour...and clear try the Ostgut/ Panorama Bar
Alice, I love your channel, its so helpful.
Was just wondering, are you a Noisia, Mefjus fan? If so, do you have any tips for fx chains and Neuro fx processing in general? Thanks.
You are the one. Thank you
Cheers
Some of the drum samples I use are sitting at -20db or more. Should I turn them down in simpler then add more volume on the channel mixer volume to bring them back up to -6?
You've hear explained to me mixing in a way I hadn't thought possible.
Very excited for you playing in berlin. Wish I lived in Germany. I have family there so maybe one day.
Hope you can catch me somehwere else! ✌😊
i'd adore to get this flowchart
You will get it very soon!
Teşekkürler ❤
Altså, dette er helt supert. Du har klart å sammenfatte en hel vitenskap til en fjorten minutters video. Bøyer meg i støvet!
Kick bass ref also depends on genre I feel. In trance I usually mix the kick to -12 db and the sub -15db ish
and at the end you bring the volume up with master limiter?
@@snubdawg1386 I think all these tips (and in the video too) are to make room for someone to master the track, and they bring the volume up. In the end, the sound should be brought to just under 0 db.
Inrteresting but you don't talk about panning and I would be curious to know how you are going to pan for instance the hi-hats and 16th hats, and if you pan also the pad or let everything in center? thanks
Panning really depends quite a bit of the genre and the chart is more about getting the volumes right. I have another drum mix video where I talk about the panning a bit more.
The way I think of panning when I start is if I were in the crowd watching a band. Starting with drums Kick in the middle like a drummers drum kit is, right handed drummers Hi-Hat and snare wll be on your right (the drummers left) Hi-Hat typically more right than the snare, Hi-hat about 20% right, I usually use 2 closed hit hat sounds so one I make 18% and one 20% right, open hi hat same way. Snare about 12% panned right. Floor Tom panned about 30-35% left, and you should get the rest for your toms and cymbals. (look at a picture of a drum kit if you have to). Bass and Guitar are fed to the mixer board in live band so they can typically be centered, or maybe put your guitar 10% left or so.
Thats a very basic start, everything of course and be tweaked depending on the track.
so yeah, just imagine a band playing all the instrument, where are they at on the stage from a listeners point of view facing the stage.
This is a great video! Really good guide on how to get a more balanced mix. Personally, I find that doing the fader adjustment phases here is EVEN STRONGER when doing it in MONO. Get that balance in mono, and I promise the switch back to stereo is magical!
Please share this chart!! I loved!! Youre content is so pro!!!!
Thank you! The download link is on the pinned comment and the description of the video 😊
Video with a reference would be sick
