Great video!! Have you tried Audified “Mix Checker” plugin, emulates playback thro different speakers like cell phones, laptops etc. been trying to use it to see how bass will sound on smaller speakers while mixing, having mixed results tho and still not getting bass to translate well, curious if anyone has experience using this plugin
This was dope!! Dave Pensado also had a great tutorial on how to get bass to cut through on smaller speakers without affecting it on bigger speakers or headphones using MaxxBass! Great help as well for cellphone/laptop playback
Your videos actually get me excited to mix my songs. It's normally my least favorite part, but your tips actually work! Thank you so much Devvon. The song is fire too!
Extremely helpful. I have a fine mix that translated really well to an iPad. EXCEPT the bass literally disappeared. This ‘trick’ solved it as much as can be expected. Now you could sense and feel it . TY!
Bro, Devvon, I've been watching through a bunch of your tutorial videos and I wanted to say THANK YOU for taking the time to make these. I know virtually nothing about mixing, but you really seem to be such an incredibly cool and unusually intelligent guy (and incredibly talented too, your music is freaking astounding), and the fact that you go out of your way to put together these extremely well-produced, in-depth tutorials also reflects a very considerate soul- so I may not know wtf you're talking about specifically in these, but I appreciate you being a genuine dude who cares enough to share your vast knowledge with the world! If I could ask you for some advice: I'm a rapper, I've been writing rhymes since mid-2011 but I'm finally beginning to get some traction on UA-cam. But the thing is that as I mentioned, I don't know anything beyond the basics of mixing, I know only enough to make my songs not sound like garbage (to my ears at least... they'd probably still sound like garbage to you lol). I don't know any producers/engineers personally, and I'm not sure where I would begin trying to find one (assuming that learning everything necessary to do it myself would take more time and/or money than I have at the moment). But also, even if I were to find one, I wouldn't have the level of knowledge that I'm guessing would be necessary to be able to evaluate how good they are / whether they are worth what they charge... since for example someone like you who is obviously a highly skilled expert, and some rando who knows a tenth of what you know, would both call yourself "engineers" and how to perceive the difference between you is something I wouldn't know how to do... So, might you have any advice/recommendations for a floundering rapper?? It's so incredibly frustrating knowing how to write and record, but then spending 8 hours spinning my wheels trying to make the mix sound decent with my microscopic fraction of the knowledge you have... I know you are undoubtedly very busy so if you don't have time to answer then I totally understand, and either way I hope you continue to do the awesome job you're doing. But if you do, any advice you're wiling to give will be *infinitely* appreciated! 🙏 (Also I'll be praying for you brother, I saw your video about taking time off music- I really hope you find exactly the peace and direction you need man. Much love)
This is the best tip for mixing bass to date... Keep doing things like this!! I would like to see tips on effects processing (eg. overdrive for bass and guitar)
Watched on my iPad on purpose ! Not sure if I really heard a difference. I will say the kick cut through pretty good! I understand what you are doing with the math but remember the rule in Audio is that if it sounds good than its all good. I’m not sure if I’ve ever boosted 100hz on an 808, but I will boost around 147hz just to get some of that mid range and a a lil saturation or distortion just to bring out some buzz so that the 808 can cut through small speakers ! Anyways dope stuff and for the people reading he ain’t wrong.
Please teach Gain Staging!! It’s so important!! So many beginner producers, including myself miss the important step before they start producing music.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. Been working on a really big vocal track and it sounds like complete fart on my phone and not much better on headphones, this was helpful.
Hi Devon, Can you please do a video on how to mix vocals on a two track Instrumental beat and what are the different ways of tackling it. Keep up the good work.
I wanna see how your able to fix a crappy vocal(recorded in a room) recording that has echo and it's flat and be able to make it sound good and clear with no echo and all that
Try to isolate your vocal recording as much as possible! Record with an isolator or in a closet w clothes, etc. A great mix is crucial but a great recording is even more so IMO. He has a video on cleaning up vocals that shows how to do subtractive EQ on nasty frequencies. Try that out as well to help a bit!
Thnx for sharing this super cool trick:) Since your second bass note seems to be not the tonic of your song: What criteria do you use to select the right bass note you want to emphasize? Do you choose always the deepest bass note for this mixing technique? Keep up the good work:)
Hey Devvon. Do you think alot of the principles you teach can be applied to other software like Logic Pro x? Although i go studio often im new to the whole concept (not completely.i understand the jist) and i want to pick one and get started. Your channel seems to be the best by far but im not sure if i can apply what your saying ti another program or would it be easier to download the one your using. Also once you develop profficiency with one would you say its fairly translateable to another software?
Bro i am a noob and i watch all ur videos and apply them to my music the only ques i have is bro .. that these new techniques u are teaching while producing,should i apply them before mixing and my parrallel compression and all the tricks u told in the mix series ... Or we have to choose btw these new or those parrallel compression technique ?
Great piece of information. I'm going out there to try it out and will get back to pass my comments. I also wanna know if this trick can be applied to any other type of instrument like the bass?
What's up Devvon, thanks for the video. I was wondering when you boost the frequency around 100 hz, that will be claching with the kick, how do you go around that? and when you boost the harmonics, it adds more harmonics up the middle range I guess, wouldn't that affect other instruments`?
DBR PROD cut the low frequencies from you vocals. Not completely but to where it’s pleasing to the ear. Put an EQ on your master and see where all your frequencies are hitting. You vocals are mostly always going to sit in the midd and with the high mid frequencies.
So what you need to do is cut the low frequencies before u start compressing even try a really high roll off at 120hz and see what happens then compress
Had to reupload!!! Here it is!!
Thank you i really like your videos, here since your second video💯
@@innaxspace aye thank you!!

Help Me Devvon I need the name of the app
Damn this help my 808's so much on the smaller speakers WITHOUT affecting the subs!! Thanks. Yiu have been one of my teachers for about a year now.
Mathematician with the mixing. Learning things from you
LegitEntertainmentRecords use the math but don’t marry urself to it! It’s more of a super guide !
This resolved definitely how the bass is pumping up in the PC laptop speakers. thanks a lot mate for this AMAZING trick!!

I use your last video techniques (mixing 808 with a lead) and my 808 sounds so good :)
Thanks for these mixing tips bro
I love the fact that there's an actual formula! Thanks Devvon! Keep the tips coming!
You're teaching style is on point!!! thankyou and much appreciated for all your content!!

hy welcome back
happy to see u again
Omg the title alone blew my mind. I’ve been trying to figure this out for weeks your the man bro ❗️❗️
Thank you Devvon !!!
This tip is perfect and yes, Rbass is the key for adding harmonics to your bass. Try to use a chorus (mono) to make the bass/808 richer too
Interesting🔥 i ll try it with a chorus, do you use it on sub frequencies
@@innaxspace credits to Ibeenbart for the tip and yes bro. Rbass + Chorus (via send) are nice for making a richer bass 🙌
@@BelBeats GREAT IDEA!!!!

Man you got all the plug ins. How can I do these with built in protools plug ins? EQ?
unfortunately this would be one where you need the plug in bc its adding harmonics and not just EQing anything
Thanx man 🤙🏻
Hi Devon,

Great tutorial ! But i want to know what's the difference between the r bass intensity booster and simple eq boost ? Thanks
Super
Can you do a video on vocals cut through small speakers plz n ty
Sure!!
Thnx for sharing this super cool trick:)
Since your second bass note seems to be not the tonic of your song:
What criteria do you use to select the right bass note you want to emphasize?
Do you choose always the deepest bass note for this mixing technique?
Keep up the good work:)
Devvon slik intel - will put to gud use - thanx
Deaven , 🆘 make a video on how to mix snare or claps to make it sound good on phone speakers
Hope you are feeling better...if u can, dnt leave music.

How do i contact you to get my music mastered??
dope bro from jamaica what level should the aux tracks be before you turn up the submix master track

Or we have to choose btw these new or those parrallel compression technique ?
Hello Devvon.
Is equing your bass after using this technic can affect the low end?
For sure use your ears and decide because sometimes it may add a certain tone you dont like so u may notch out the frequencies
Great piece of information. I'm going out there to try it out and will get back to pass my comments.
I also wanna know if this trick can be applied to any other type of instrument like the bass?
Yh. The main makers of this VST used it on their voice and others used it on their pianos.
@@jr-shotsadeogun7029 thanks
Firsttt Good Looks Bro
What's up Devvon, thanks for the video.
I was wondering when you boost the frequency around 100 hz, that will be claching with the kick, how do you go around that? and when you boost the harmonics, it adds more harmonics up the middle range I guess, wouldn't that affect other instruments`?
help me devvon when i mix vocals with the beat the low frequency of my vocals had competition with the kick and 808's
DBR PROD cut the low frequencies from you vocals. Not completely but to where it’s pleasing to the ear. Put an EQ on your master and see where all your frequencies are hitting. You vocals are mostly always going to sit in the midd and with the high mid frequencies.
@@joshythepickupman yes but when i compress vocals the low frequencies jump and clashing with the kick and bass
So what you need to do is cut the low frequencies before u start compressing even try a really high roll off at 120hz and see what happens then compress
so is rbass the way to make 808s sound bigger/make them more audible/give them more high end, without adding distortion?
You the Truth Younster. 🤣 What do you think about SSL Native SubGen?
So my 808 is cutting through but on a sound bar or tv the tone is diffrent and much higher. How do I fix that ?
