7 years ago I injured both my ears from loud mixing with headphones. I stopped producing after that. In late 2019 I saw one of your youtube video mixing etc, so in 2020 i got my equipment back and started producing again. All I am saying you played a big roll to motivated me to come back to music again. Thanks again my friend. Stay strong and bless
@Splitting Time so I've been having issues with that lately - and it's always when I'm sound designing and I make a frequency that my ears are like BAD SOUND BAD SOUND I can feel them physically recoil. I've been working with a limiter on the master to make sure I'm not going over a certain db level, and that has helped extend my staying power and I haven't had any pain. Also, get yourself some good, musician grade earplugs for extra protection. let hardware/software protect you. I also use monitors as much as I can because it gives the sound waves some space to dilute before it hits your ears.
@@katherinec4360 your ears are very susceptible to 2-4k frequencies. My ear canals will pulse if there’s too much of that sound, however I use it to my advantage, not disadvantage. Also you should never mix loud. Loud causes speaker compression and you aren’t getting the true sound. If the music is meant to be big, get it to sound big at a low volume. You can Imagine how big it will be when it’s played loud. But mixing it while loud you’re just fooling yourself.
"Make sure you stand up for yourself" - Can we appreciate the fact that he's not only brilliantly teaching us mixing/mastering but also gives us brotherly advices ;-; sir, you're precious
Name-Brother! I need some help! I made my own Bill and Ted music but I recorded it on a cell phone. I'm having a problem where it sounds best played back on a cell phone but very muddy on anything else. Do you know what would cause that? I knew enough to make the recording but the rest of it is currently beyond my know-how.
Michael, you are the BEST TEACHER ON UA-cam FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION. And yes, I mean the caps. You have taught me all I know in music production, from starting in a room with a laptop to having a full on music studio. Thank you!
When i first bought FL studio i felt i made a huge mistake there was such a learning curve for me for about a month. Studying your videos for the last 2 years has made me not only love my program but learn that it has less to do with the DAW than your own ear and creativity. Always down for your insights and many of your videos i watch over again. Cheers🤠
Music production is super overwhelming for like, the first couple of years at least if not way longer than that. Good on you for keeping at it and striving to get to where you want. Am on that journey as well, feelsgood.jpeg.
@@Xernive I love it so much it is definitely catered to my workflow style and I couldn't see using anything else to get the results I've been getting which are the ones I've been wanting. I don't use the program nearly to its capacity only to mine.
I've learned so much about producing my own music from in the mix now. and honestly I feel like every video he puts out theres something great to take away from it!
I never seen personally a mixing or mastering engineer working with fl studio. Especially comparing with industry standard. It's nice to see atleast someone is doing with fl ❤️
Honestly I see no reason why anyone is bothered which software we use. It’s amazing isn’t it? I can use a lot of different programs, it’s just a tool :)
This 'iNdUsTRy sTaNDaRd' that you talk about is redundant at this point, a lot of great mixes and masters were done in FL. It's just unfair to FL Users.
@@bodhisattva9762 im not saying fl is bad or not suitable. I'm just saying the fact. Ofc legends using fl studio. I'm talking about mixing and mastering engineer perspective. Even in this date if you walk into any studio you'll see pro tools or rarely logic.. im so proud of Michael ,he showed we can do quality stuff in fl
Dude thank you so much. I have been mixing, mastering, vocal processing, sound designing, and Producing since 2008 and YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME MORE IN 1 YEAR THAN I LEARNED ON MY OWN IN 12. I felt very proficient with Adobe Audition (when it was known as CEP2.1), Studio One, and FL, and yet you still teach me so much. And even when you touch upon topics I'm very familiar with, I still have a blast sitting down, listening with you, and I still pick up some new tricks and tips. Thank you so much for broadcasting your experiences for us, and taking the time to explain things. IDC If you've been in the audio engineering industry for 12 months or 12 years- Micheal here is your guy and comes highly recommended. Thank you good sir.
AAAYYYE! Cool Edit Pro, maaaaaaan ,the memories. Circa 2006-2007🥲 Had one of those old school computer stick-mics n egg cartons on the walls. When my homies got the idea to tape the mic to the wall, so we could stand up, you couldn't tell us we wasn't raw!lol
your mastering tutorials are super helpful. I feel like a ton of "tutorials" just talk about general concepts that are helpful for mastering, but don't talk about any of the actual processing. This video helped demystify all of that :)
Before watching the video I liked and saved this video in my music production playlist Because I m damn sure the Michael Sir will never disappoint me😊😇😊
This is what all teachers should be like. You explain everything in such detail and with so much enthusiasm that you really make us want to learn and encourage us to try. You love deeply what you do and it shows. We really owe you everything Michael.
I feel you are the Most Articulate Tutorial Engineer on the Web. I get more out of your videos than any others your techniques have raised my skill a lot! Thanks
I have a file called "final master 32" in my computer and I am not sure what it is but it still sounds bad. This tutorial will help me fix it for sure. Thanks a lot InTheMix!
I think now would also be a nice time to make a "Full Mixing start to finish" (even if it would be an hour long i would watch it) Would really love to see it
@@King1CurtisLOLZBros True mixing takes much longer as an hour. I'm down for a video too! Prefer the full process in a long video than a shorter one skipping parts etc.
22:04 Anytime I’m working on a mix, I listen to it on as many different devices as possible. I’ve found that it really helps me figure out how it’s actually sounding. I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this.
I'm in love, Michael. I've bought courses that have saved this kinda thing until the very end. Your work is invaluable and I sincerely thank you for all the time you've taken to share your love of music and keep on keepin' on my man!!!!!!
Glad to see someone master in FL, that said I used to use Ozone 9 until I got Wavelab Pro 11 🙏. Makes me realize you just have to find a workflow that suits you
@@Hydra2k12 even mastering ain’t that hard if u know what ur doing probably more easier than mixing also faster especially when u have Tons of shit to process
Love that "bypass with eyes closed [not knowing anymore if it's bypassed or not]" idea! Great way to make sure you're really listening and avoiding the "I invested time in these settings" bias.
Mastering is about being objective. Why is why (not always) but 95% of the time is better to send to a mastering engineer than doing it yourself for many reasons
I used to export the 'final master' and then listen to it again after a while make a few changes then label it 'finalest master' then later 'Final master xxx' and then '100% the final master FUUUUUUCCCCC'. Now I just label then as version 1, version 2.
Thank you so much Michael. This was great for me to watch. I knew about 60% of what you shared, but this means that I learned 40% new stuff which will make me even better. I do not see myself ever unsubscribing to your channel cause we grow as you are growing. Blessings.
Wait, really? Thank you so much! I've just been decreasing the output gain to match the input. That's gonna be really helpful Wonder if there's a same thing with just normal compression.
super helpful tips. I really enjoy the content on this channel and it has supported my mixing and mastering skills. looking back at my original songs I can clearly hear the difference of my mixing in my old songs compared to now. thank you so much for creating this content, looking forward to future videos
Very helpful video! Hope you can also do one of these in the future with a more EDM oriented track just to see how your workflow and EQ changes in these cases
Yeah man you are great in what you do. I have almost one year watching your best tutorials and really my music production achieved pro levels, such as I will begin now my own fl studio tutorials ! thank you keep shining and keep going!
You are a blessing to this generation.Thanks very much and may the Lord almighty continu to bless you so that you continu to help us like that.you are so simple and explain things so simple,eving some paid courses does not value your tutos. I love all your tutos.There help me alot. In the mix you are one of the best in this generation talking about music production and kindness.you help alot.Thanks for this course
Mastering truly is an art in and of itself, and an underrated one at that. There's a reason some of the greatest recording and mixing engineers recommend you send the mix to a mastering studio
Michael thank you so much! This is pure gold. I'm learning and getting better in mixing and mastering thanks to your videos. I can feel the progress! Best wishes for your music dreams. Watching and creating music from China to the world!
I think I speak for everyone when I say. . . . . .YAYYYYYYYY! Thank you! I've been a right lazy sod since the new year so I need this, cheers. Take care and stay safe
Great tip on only sending a portion of the song. I've had people in the past where you trust them enough and give the the file and don't get paid or they try negotiate a lower price. I ask for 50% upfront non-refundable and full payment before completion. Btw also wanna take this opportunity to say I'm glad your still making these tutorial videos and I've been watching your channel for years! great teacher and also, I'm considering the shed studio like yourself or playing with the idea of a container!
I really like the way you instructed, detailed and specific. I'm 22 years old but I made music when I'm 13. I didn't join any classes or any courses. Even though I tried to learn many videos on UA-cam and other digitals but only when I see your channel, I can do well and find the right direction for my mix, my project. Thanks so much!
As everyone here as said, great video, obv. After having Ozone 9 for a year, I just started using it instead of individual plugin chains, and lo and behold, you used 3 modules here! I'm mastering a grand piano & violin duet of 16 re-arranged Irish tunes, mostly from O'Carolan. I found that the Maximizer, even with everything but the mode (I like the IRC IV Classic) turned off, gives a bite to it. This worked ok on one of my tunes, but not another. I think I could hear the same on your tune here, which is maybe what you wanted. It was more bite and brighter than the reference track, to my ears. Thanks!
You know i watched the tutorial you made on the reference track mixing, and i can't stop smiling at how it comes out beautiful after mastering... thumbs up micheal... and yes for the 89 people that gave this video a thumbs down, reply below, i really want to know your problems
You may not read this but a couple things.. 1. Thanks for the transparency of your mastering process. It really helps. 2. Explaining exactly what to listen for and how to listen (earbuds, car, etc)... awesome. These are vital. 3. (and most importantly) fricken thank you for the biz advice as well! I don't think I've heard the advice of sending 1/2 the master and waiting until you're paid to send the full master. Overall, great video and do more like these! Have a good one!
I think your point about preparing yourself emotionally for the session by listeing to one's favourite music and getting into the mood is a good one. I've doing this helps no end.
I've watched a lot of tutorials but man your tutorials are the most detailed. Amazing work! I can come here and take notes confidently. Quick question before I pull the trigger on it. Is Ozone worth it? Or could I achieve the same sounds with what comes in the producer edition fl20?
Hi, Ozone is very clean but it doesn’t have a lot of personality. If you want clean then the stuff in FL is probably okay and you might want to spend the money on some interesting plugins to add tone
Your vibe is so chill I love your videos not only for the great content but also because you're so lovable. I've been watching you for a while now and this needed to be said no homo tho
Thank you so much for investing so much time and effort into making this really informative video. I am in the process of mastering my first recording of a jazz trio that I play in. I have learnt so much from watching this video and I will probably watch it a few times more, it is so good.

Labelling something The final master is essentially the same thing as asking a guy in a skatepark to film your "last try".
Mastering is about being objective. Why is why (not always) but 95% of the time is better to send to a mastering engineer than doing it yourself for many reasons
As a skateboarder this is so true lmao
🤣🤣🤣 The infamous words of every skater 🤣🤣🤣
How am I able to let 2 or more plugins open at the same time? When 1 is already open and I click on another the first one always disappears...
I used to export the 'final master' and then listen to it again after a while make a few changes then label it 'finalest master' then later 'Final master xxx' and then '100% the final master FUUUUUUCCCCC'.

I don't think I've heard the advice of sending 1/2 the master and waiting until you're paid to send the full master. Overall, great video and do more like these! Have a good one!
What a legend! Especially with the business talk at the end!!!!
I think your point about preparing yourself emotionally for the session by listeing to one's favourite music and getting into the mood is a good one. I've doing this helps no end.
I've watched a lot of tutorials but man your tutorials are the most detailed. Amazing work! I can come here and take notes confidently.
Quick question before I pull the trigger on it. Is Ozone worth it? Or could I achieve the same sounds with what comes in the producer edition fl20?
Hi, Ozone is very clean but it doesn’t have a lot of personality. If you want clean then the stuff in FL is probably okay and you might want to spend the money on some interesting plugins to add tone
Thx for the knowledge, you make my producer carrer continues
i think u are the GOAT huge tks from brazil artists
You're a legend to me bro you taught me so much and all in FL instead of Pro tools!!
You are the absolute BEST! Seriously man, I love you. If your videos were from a paid course, it'd definitely be worth it. Thank you for everything.
am an up and coming producer and I have been improving rapidly ever since I started watching your video ..❤thank you 🙏🏾
Your vibe is so chill I love your videos not only for the great content but also because you're so lovable. I've been watching you for a while now and this needed to be said

Man, you are helping a WHOLE community, can't thank you enough, keep up the great work!
This tutorial was worth listening 25 minutes, Thanks a lot Michael
Currently learning mastering and this video has been so peasant compared to others and this song has become a favorite of mine lol
Always making the best videos!
Thank you so much for investing so much time and effort into making this really informative video.
I am in the process of mastering my first recording of a jazz trio that I play in.
I have learnt so much from watching this video and I will probably watch it a few times more, it is so good.
