When it comes to mixing, you should be aiming for -6db on your master fader. Everyone should also have a loudness meter, for getting the right true peak or LUFs. Youlean loudness meter is a free plugin and it works great. ✌️
I record my songs at about 35% volume (on my mixer & in my daw).... Definitely a pro tip 👍. I came to see if there was anything I might have been trying overlooking. Your videos have proved useful numerous times. Thanks
Appreciate what you do bro. Thanks a lot for all your hours and knowledge and honour for the creative, entertainment and business world. Blessings for 2022.
I Usually select all my mixer channel and slide them down to - 4.5 to 5.5 db, it depends sometimes on the sound that I'm working on! After that, i make a MixBus on the mixer For Instrument and drums and fx and the other sound in the project. So i can tweak the mixer Slider more easily. After that i send the MixBus Channel to a Master Channel not the one that near by the analog volume in fl studio no, i make another channel and i name it master Bus So i can add all my eq's and the stuff that i should add to my mix In the final stage of this mixing method, i send the master mix bus to the original master Channel, and i add a maximizer from ozone9, to hit 0db I usually do 0db for youtube, most of the time. But let's say you wanna record vocals on the beat, i tweak down the volume to - 6db. I hope y'all learned something ❤️
1) bring stuff down remember u can't work much with a sound that's loud and already exported/recorded, but if it's low you can always bring it up afterward n mess with it. 2) also I would suggest added everything to one whole bus while gain staging
Yes you can. In FL or any other 32bit daw is impossible to clip. Try it render any loud clipping audio in 32bit wav then throw it in another project and normalize it.
Actually, contrary to the thumbnail if you mix at 0 you don't have to turn anything up as much, which is all around better. Turning things down is always better, so mixing at 0 results in less artifacts from compression.
you don't want it to clip when ur recording aka turn red or yellow cuz it will sound distorted and you can't fix that. if it comes out low it's ok you can fix it in the post. let me know bro if ya need help
This is not great advice. You should, when recording vocals, aim to record as loud as possible without distorting your signal or introducing excess noise. You want to achieve as high a signal-to-noise-ratio as possible, which is the relationship between the desired signal being recorded, and the noise floor of your recording system. You don't really have to care about what your meters in your DAW are saying your vocal signal is doing, as long as you're not distorting it at the input stage, with your preamp. Remember that recording a soft vocal signal means that you're just going to be cranking it up in your DAW, adding compression and most likely makeup gain, all of which are going to bring up that noise floor. Also, yes, getting close to the microphone capsule does introduce the so called "proximity effect" which disproportionately increases low frequency response in the recorded signal, but you only need to back off the capsule a couple of inches to reduce this, introducing room sound into a vocal recording is usually undesirable, especially considering most of this channel's audience does not have access to acoustically treated recording environments. Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with recording with the proximity effect. If you don't want that exaggerated low end, you can just eq it out after, or during recording. But that exaggerated low frequency is desirable in some cases, for example it's used to great effect on radio voices, and certain vocals that need to have a lot of body. Note that the proximity effect is also only observed in figure-8 and cardioid microphone polar patterns, and not in omni. So if you really want no proximity effect, get a mic that can record omnidirectionally.

I HAVE THAT SAME ONE it’s so fkn nice, best of all, ITS FREE
@@danielcrase I actually purchased the pro version, but yeah the free one is great 👍
@@DjRuthful Same, but I know people can easily get away with the free version.
@@DjRuthful I saw it on “in the mix” UA-cam channel
@@danielcrase yes, you can get away with the free version. I did for months, but I wanted to get the pro version for specific reasons.

That melody is dope.

👊🏻🙏🏽
This was very helpful for my mix when doing vocals , thanks game

-3 to -6dB should be what you're going for just most people don't have properly treated recording environments:(

Most of my work flow top tips is from you, I put any I see on channel into practice and it been working thanks
Both are great tips that I need to take advantage of. thank you as always!

what is a mix bus?😂

@@yikeru114 dude...it clips everytime lol
Great vid 👍
In dubstep community we turn our driver quieter and mix loud, so the opposite to way busy is doing it.
Excellent Thanks

What was that bass'ee kick you're using?
Ну Бро,ну Бро надавал стилька бро ✨💞🦄!!!)))) Реально пушка полнейшая 🧞♀️🧞♀️🧞♀️!!!)))) Дикое звучание правда бро,удачи тебе в этом 🦄✨🔥))))))))))))))))))
How can i enter the holiday giveaway
So can i record whatever volume and then pull down to -6? Same thing ?
The gain staging is likely to be unsatisfactory... gain stage correctly.
@@YudazOwn wich means? Sorry

@@prodbydramatic oh i get it, i do that already so, but appreciate it!🤘🏻
@@killekillekille1 no worries its the only way to get better and put your pride aside and just ask. i wish u the best
How do you record in a lower db?
Turn down your preamps or input volume as you’re recording . The knobs on your audio interface control this
Boomp!!
why does everyone say -0 -3 is the best lol..
I am a beat maker
