    I pretty much know this stuff. I'm just not confident. This just made me more confident. I just need to learn that EQ and other plug-Ins. Thanks for making this video.

      For real. Ive seen mixing videos and all they do is talk. They do not show anything. After watching this video, I feel like I put too much into my FXs for my sounds. This is wild. Lol

    Ocean MY MAN, this was super helpful to get some clarity with this.. The one thing that always holds me back from the creative process is the tweaking of sounds and over thinking will this sound good in any scenario. I really want all of my beats to sound the exact same in terms of volume and sound quality of individual tracks. Right now I'm all over the place.

    8:30 I like putting a bit crusher on the kick make the resolution 24 and downsampling at 1 and turn the drive. It’s soft clipping

    I also mix along the way. Now before mastering the output should peak at around -6db. Only problem is I don't know how to master, and I don't use any mastering plugins like Izotope. Mastering just polishes a song off, so for now I guess I could get away with mixing everything so that my stereo output peaks at 0 to 3 db without clipping.

    Ocean , Should I be converting my midi tracks to wav first and then mixing down as wavs?
    Will it make a big difference?
    Your thoughts welcome.Thanks a lot Bro !!!

    • @willyknotz9718
      @willyknotz9718 2 роки тому +1

      yea bruh, you want to bounce your midi tracks into wav audio before mixing. Keep them all as their own separate tracks though like you see in the video so each sound can get mixed properly.

    You shouldn't usually turn down all the low frequencies in your melodies, just really any low frequencies that interfere with your 808s. If you turn down all low frequencies in the melody it wont sound as full
