Transients! How do you like to get creative with them in your mixes?
bass.
send to bus, low pass at 400Hz, tape emulation.
makes the low end pump.
@@freezingcathedral marvellous!
I recently discovered using multiband distortion to bitcrush, but only the high frequencies. Gives you a hint of the old school sampler sound, but without making the whole thing sound like a chip tune.
I like to mess with the ADSR of the transients using Kilohearts' transient shaper to see what difference I can make
Something I think I've mentioned on another one of these things, if I'm trying to get a clearer snare sound without making it so "big", sometimes it helps to pick a prominent instrument that's active in the mix and add a tiny amount of sidechain compression from the snare to that channel.
Maybe not so applicable in modern pop or hip-hop where you probably want the snare to be one of the most prominent sounds in the song since the main elements of the song are likely to be percussion and vocals; but when you're writing or mixing something in a style more resembling, saaaay, thrash metal, where the drum track is fast but the instruments need to be prominent, I've found this can be a big help.
If I'm really struggling with getting a snare properly heard in a busy mix I'll sometimes use both this and distortion or saturation.
If you don’t saturate your transients, you can’t have your pudding
How can you have your pudding if you haven’t saturated your transients?
you! yes you snare
@@Producelikeapro legend you beat me to it, stand still boy!
Haha
@@Producelikeapro well i dont know i will hire a guy to make pudding
You've snared me! You've snagged me on your hook! Merry Christmas Sir Warren, my friend... See you next NAMM, I hope.
Thanks ever so much! Happy holidays!
Nice tip
Thanks ever so much
Nice trick, I’m definitely gonna steal, I mean use your trick!
Steal away!
This video is about 20 minutes too short! I love your content! It has helped me a lot!
Haha thanks ever so much
I watch your longer content too but I'm liking these recent clips as quick ideas or reminders. Thanks!
Thanks ever so much
Great video thanks 🙏
Thanks ever so much
I found the bit crusher in BFD handy for this
Love the hints and tips, but dear god please don't use a white background for the upright phone video shorts, it makes UA-cam blinding! lol
💃
Thanks ever so much
And thus was analog tape dragged out of the closet and into the control room once again.
Hahaha I have an A80, however I also have a lot of plug ins that can do wonders!
Limitation I think is other cool trick. For evade crest factor.
Marvellous
Sometimes a limiter is what you need, but it tends to just remove energy from transients, while a saturator feels like it's not removing energy, but transforming it into additional harmonic content so that the perceived loudness is similar and often times even higher.
Ez to overdo it and then it sounds thin, subtle use is key
short tips are great, but I miss the functionality of a "normal" youtube video that you can scroll backwards and forwards on, non-linearly. I guess it doesn't matter as much when the video is only 2 minutes long
Absolutely! All of the img form videos still exist! This is specifically for people who want to consume content in a different way! The Ming versions are still there and I’m still posting 5-6 of them every week!
Or you can use a compressor to slightly duck everything on the snare hits, I recently learned this, and it makes the snare, kick, etc have more "punch"
That's completely right! If you saturate snare, you get so much lower peak level and higher percieved volume. Great video!
Big up from Poland
Thanks ever so much! I’m glad to be able to help!!
How to do that?
@@nunu9849 Just use saturation plugin like bx blackbox or something. Match the perceived volume (on ear) and you will see that you peak level is lower, but perceived volume is the same
This short tips are just gold.
Thanks ever so much
I need to go back to this. I tried this a few years and a lot less experience ago and I could never get it right. Now what I do is I put the whole drum buss into a limiter. I kinda love it
Working with tape and analog equipment early in my career has made this concept easier to transition to use in the box. Saturation is definitely something that is easy to define, but there is no better way to understand it than pumping level into the tape machine until you get the right amount of warmth or pop. Thanks for being so free with your knowledge and experience! Great stuff!
I’d like a Vulcan mind meld with you sir!
I love me some Star Trek!
just started watching your videos warren after finding out you've mixed songs for Aerosmith please never change your content ! This is a pro as it gets thanx
You’re very kind! I’m glad to be able to help
I've only recorded analog, even in real studios, until earlier this year when I finally had to get new gear. I have been having some minor issues with getting things to sound good on digital. I'm not using a DAW, just a standalone recorder, but it's digital. & I never use plugins (whatever those are) or even anything else except maybe a pedal or two. I guess it just takes time to figure it out ...just wish there were videos with tips for people who don't use DAWs.
I saw transients and thought this was going to be about San Francisco or Portland
Will try!
Marvellous
I like that song, and the tip.
I like to call that dirt. 👌🏼

I'm enjoying your shorts \o/
Thanks ever so much

dang and i thought i had discovered something new. Come on boyz get your snare transients harmonically distorted. thank you warren
Haha thanks for sharing!
The Kramer tape add a slight delay to the signal so be careful if you are applying it to any tracks that have a duplicate
Indeed! I would have it directly on or if on a bis always 100% wet with zero dry signal
Medium attack and fast release on a compressor helps to bring up the tail of the hit while pushing the hole instrument to the front.
Marvellous! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Warren.
Im curious how this would compare to using a diatressor in a hybrid set up? Possibly blending with nuke mode? I would anticipate more flexability, but havent tried myself yet.
Cheers
For anyone using Studio One, the “Redlight distortion” stock plugin on the Op Amp setting works beautifully for this use case
I literally just figured this out completely on my own a few days ago and NOW I see this video. Would have been helpful 2 months ago youtube algorithm! Great content as always Warren!
Awesome tip Warren! I mix the good old days of analog mainly because of the distortion from all the gear.
Just the fact that you have a separate snare bus from the overarching drum bus on the session opened up my eyes. Great little tip!
Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome
i felt your emotion
Thanks!
what is your headphone ? love what you do btw !
Thanks ever so much! I’ve been using the Blue Headphones for a while now
@@Producelikeapro Thank you so much !
This is what jDilla did to get his drums to JUMP :D don’t know if that’s your style of music to listen to but, love it
I LOVE J Dilla! Thanks for mentioning him!
not really.
dilla was all about good samples while utilizing a gate + layering on mpc.
look at the waveforms on beattapes like another batch. none of the drum transients are smashed.
@@kdeeone yes but my point is that in order to get drums that hit hard, there was some form of trading off dynamic content for harmonic content. Be it already done in the sample itself, or having just the transient clipped/mushed, and other times the type of beat called for the whole dynamic range of the drum to be left intact
