Hope you found these tips helpful! Let me know of any other topics you'd want a video on. Thanks again to Baby Audio: babyaud.io/ Here's my new album: fanlink.to/AndrewHuang-DustAndDewdrops
Thanks for the amazing content as always! I'd be interested in any insights you had on correlations between oscilloscope sample views and the (perceived) quality of plugins. For example, do 'higher quality' plugins produce a perceivable difference in oscilloscope readings compared to 'lower quality' ones when fed the same midi information? The golden rule always remains 'use your ears', yet there are certain underlying 'industry standards' when it comes to acceptable quality transitioning to quality music. Figured knowing a method of determining quality would be more useful than just being told the most used plugins in the higher music industry echelons. If you could make content related to this, that would be great! Thanks for your hard work always!
I clicked the link to your new album, then stopped at the point I realised I would have to pay for it. Please consider giving your music away for free. I believe the gifts you would receive in return would far outstrip the financial revenue from sales.
The sub-low-pass chain for phaseless frequency splitting is a wonderful tip, thanks, Andrew! Would love a video on how to make glassy/marble-ball reverse glitch transitions - for instance, like on Ochre's album 'A Midsummer Nice Dream', or on the Plaid track 'Wallet' - the way it envelopes the drum hits. I'd like to know how to set it up and control it... particularly in Ochre's case. Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing. Greetings from Moscow ❤
Hey, Andrew, how u doing? I’ve just been called about a winning prize by a profile in your behalf. Your name, your official pic, 5 followers… is that really you or may we be talking about some scammer?
I've been making music for 25+ years and have had a career in professional sound design for about 13 of those years. Despite all of that experience, almost without fail, I learn from your videos and they make me want to go make things. I sometimes don't even get all the way through the video before I have to go make noise. A great record makes me want to make records. A great youtube video makes me want to go put parallel processing into all of my songs that don't have it. Your videos are a constant inspiration. Thank you for that.
I've only been making music for about a year. All self taught so not great but I enjoy learning with videos and playing along with them. It's good to know I'm on the right track if I feel exactly the same way as you after 25+
The tip with shaping the bass while paying attention to phase, and the sends tip were golden! I really appreciate that Andrew exaggerates a lot of these effects in these tutorials at first before dialling to taste, because it's easy to hear this way. There's way too many UA-cam tutorials where the presenter doesn't accommodate for this and they end up making a bunch of really subtle and tiny changes that are not obvious for those with an untrained ear/not listening with a professional setup. So it's no exaggeration that Andrew has taught me the most out of anyone on UA-cam over all these years, and continues to even today!
tbf the processed side of the parallel should be exaggerated otherwise you're just blending more dry/not fully wet signal in which is phase issues galore
That phase flip tip :o you’ve always got some really sick tip in there for those who’ve been around for years, I really appreciate you making music creation accessible.
If you mean the splitter he tried to make with EQ eight and a utility, he actually made a bell shaped EQ boost. Because he put the Utility in the wrong place. You want to put it in the chain called "EQ" not the one called "DRY".
Im not even entirely sure its a bell shaped EQ he made. Either way, it wasn't the splitter he intended, and I explained how to make the splitter he intended.
Love your 'forever a student' comment, because even though I've studied music and mixed my own stuff for a while now (by no means as a professional haha), I'd NEVER thought to have used polarity flipping for splitting out lows and highs without affecting phase. Such an awesome wee gem in that piece of knowledge alone! Fantastic examples in this video too! ✌
9:05 This is funny, because is other genres the opposite is usually done! In metal, the highs and mids are often distorted , while the lows are kept clean but are heavily compressed. This way you get a very agressive bass sound, but you get a very stable foundation in the low end that doesn't lack clarity.
I've been using the frequency split trick for bass sounds for quite sometime. But the idea with a low and high compression/distortion send for mixing is damn good. I will definitely make use of this very heavily from now on. These tips are dope, I hope people will pick them up.
Any tips? I'm gonna try doing parallel compression. Do I just make sends with different EQ filters and adjust the levels of the send or is it something else?
@@pappasierra703 I don't know much about it but I watched Dan Worrall's videos on parallel compression. They were very comprehensive and had a number of tricks relating to things like Delta signals and notch filters. Gonna try those as well.
@@pappasierra703 I always prefer sends on post, as it keeps the balance between dry and wet sounds. If at some point you like how many high frequencies there are in a sound (by using the send) and later have to change the channel volume to improve the mix, your previously dialed in balance would change with a pre-fader send. I did boost both sends a bit with like 3 to 10db so I can go nuts if I drastically want to change the sounds timbre.
Wow! I always LOVE how much you go in detail on EVERY TOPIC! I’ve been learning about parallel for a year and it never made as much sense as it does after this video. AMAZING! Thank you Andrew🙏🏽❤️
On 5:22, some software like LMMS using sends is really the only way to do parallel processing with FX. Otherwise any FX put on a channel runs sequentially through the stack. (Although each effect has a W/D control, it's still going to the next FX on that channel.) To parallel you basically put instrument(s) to an FX channel, then use sends on other FX channels to parallel from that, and possibly recombine in a final channel. (Sends work at the FX channel rather than instrument level on that software. And don't forget to disable send to master on channels not considered final output.) That's no-budget music making without having to go to the high seas; awkward, but it does work doing it that way. There's probably some portion of those watching that may find that info useful (hope it was explained well enough), otherwise not knowing that there is a way to make the process work with that particular program.
Man thsee tips are awesome!! Huge respect for sharing it for free .. it seems to me that as you're getting more confident in your game and musical brand you're sharing bigger and more complex processing. I mean there are a lot of mixing engineers out there who wouldn't even consider to share any of these things (like the parallel bass process). They sleep on it like it is a treasure they need to guard. It takes a lot of confidence in what you do to share it in detail without being too preoccupied with how you can profit from it or how someone else might "steal" your process. Thanks a lot for sharing. Great stuff!! 🍻
I got super lost in the reverse phase bass stuff but I will have to try some of these. I'd been using compressors with wet/dry mix but I hadn't done separate sends for delay and reverb, for example.
Just safer for phase this way. Depending on your eq settings there will be some frequencies overlapping in both channels if you just do an LP and HP at the same spot
Wow, I did not know I could do this kind of stuff. As a beginner, I also learned the dynamics of send busses and their functionalities. Thank you for sharing this information.
Phase Flip tip by MrBill 8:15-9:00 one of the beste Ableton advises of my life. Combine it with a Makro to set the frequency boom you have a clean splitting tool 🤯
In ancient culture there is a compliment to the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire. Those are the 4 states of the elements: hot, cold, dry and wet. Ancient science!
I go to Full Sail University and this is one of the first things that they teach in my degree program. Utilize sends to put all the effects in (minus dynamic effects like compression and such)
The phase flip trick for splitting the signal is next fucking level, I've seen so many people recommend this "signal split" idea but I'd have phase issues every time, also stuff like this is why I mix in Ableton, imagine trying to conveniently do this in protools lmao. Thx a lot Andrew!
Great video! Lots of tricks here and there that makes me want to do more music. Composition-wise I'm in love with the little glide arp in the last track, hopefully that comes out soon if it hasn't already!!
Wow this video gave me even more drive to create then usual. Once I get more time on my hands I really want to rediscover music creation and I'm thinking about buying a first analog synth once I figure out how to easily send it midi or sound from a daw and bring the sound back at the same time.
Almost everything you talked about in this video is suuuuper super simple in FL Studio, all effects in FL have this Mix knob automatically. Also the phase stuff is really easy to do in the basic sampler in FL
Eyyy I'd been using some of these tricks for a hot second but never had any terminology for it haha. Thank you! I am going to have a way easier time explaining to students why the mix knob on a compressor / FX / etc. is so important lol. Phase inverting the bass EQ is a super neat trick 😮 Fantastic saturation on that master 👏
Hi Andrew, thank you for this tutorial, really great. Especially the section from Mr Bill, splitting up the low and the highs. However I think you should put the utility plugin with the switched polarity on the EQ effect and not on the DRY effect, otherwise you do a polarity switch and the sound of high and low together is different. I just tried it out and this was my experience. Thanks again anyway for this great tutorial!
I came up with this idea or something similar independently earlier this week and have been having tons of fun doing a generative twist on this in VCV Rack where the computer decides which FX to blend together. That’s how you know it’s a good idea- someone came up with it before you did!
Wow... you cover so much in this! Definitely the first time I've genuinely understood parallel processing - will be using that a lot more in my own tracks. P.S. Love the lo/hi phase trick.
SHARING SECRETS?! Love this! Ableton is not great for send flexibility as you only have 12 for the whole project, so duplicating tracks or using the effect rack is incredibly useful!
Isn't this idea similar to Fl Studio's Patcher? Patcher is able to send the original signal and seperate, combine, and adjust the send of effects/vsts.
Thank you for writing the answer on the title and saving me the anxiety of having to watch the whole video just so i could have it. I am still watching the whole video nevertheless.
I think it's very smart to do more extreme examples. Sometimes you see other people trying to do very *subtle* stuff and the viewer might not always pick up on that because 1. They don't have the ears you do. 2. It gives of a more genuine understandin for beginners trying to learn the basics, rather than making them do it like pros. -which they aren't.
Really cool tips, I can seriously improve my mastering and I really need to try some of these tricks out! I really like the lighting in this video and the last one. Also, I am looking forward to last Theory Thursday's follow up video, I can't wait to hear what everyone else came up with!
I learned to do this right from the first thing I ever mixed but I didn't know it had a name or was anything special. I was just told this is what people do. I guess I had a good teacher
So weird for you to upload this, as a few days ago I did a stream where I implemented parallel reverb on my snare bus. In FL, you side chain to a different mixer track, connect them using fruity send, put the effect on your sidechain track at 100 percent wet, then blend it in using the dB fader on the mixer. This will also prevent the effect from moving downstream. This is useful if, say, on a drum bus, you have a compressor, but you don't want a reverb effecting how the compressor reacts. Well, in parallel, the reverb won't move downstream, and it won't affect the comp.
nice video, thanks. i think you'd be really interested in dan worrall's videos on parallel filters - he goes really in depth on when to worry about phase and when not to.
Oh hey I just did this for a contest on Emily Hopkins’ channel! Three layers of the same recording, each processed differently to make a rly cool & dense but distinct mix
Thank you. Some of these techniques (like the phase shift) are more advanced than I feel I can master, but the basic concepts of parallel processing (and your demonstrations of it) are likely to improve my mixes. ¿What about splitting out the kick into a separate track so you can set a different compression level for it with regard to the other percussion?
Yup you gotta come up with whatever solutions serve your track. Drums might be combined in various sub busses before some or all go to a larger buss. And/or every individual element may get its own (parallel maybe!) compression
Anyone interested in hearing an amazing example of sound mixing majic, try listening to, the God particle, from Sphungle ! Its a trip without leaving the farm lol
good video i learned a lot. in ableton when you do group chain it with dry signal is kind of parallel processing too right? i kind of learned that from reid stefan, but this video take it to another level of understanding.
So instead of routing all general effects to aux like reverb and delay standard am I routing every dry track into a new buss(not sure if cakewalk has independent fx chains) with those effects? Using cakewalk and want to make sure my fx chain or parallel compression is in the right place! Thanks for help! Great video on the bass much needed info!

Just safer for phase this way. Depending on your eq settings there will be some frequencies overlapping in both channels if you just do an LP and HP at the same spot
Brilliant! I agree! Base should always be dry, but equalized so that the kick does not get distorted!
Wow, I did not know I could do this kind of stuff. As a beginner, I also learned the dynamics of send busses and their functionalities. Thank you for sharing this information.
Ableton is just so good when it comes to parallel processing, great video!
that applying same LP filter and flip one's phase to achieve parallel without phase issue is so 🤯🤯🤯
Assign both cutoff points to the same macro knob for easier adjustment too, and save the rack as a preset :)
Always love getting new producing tips!

Hi Andrew, thank you for this tutorial, really great. Especially the section from Mr Bill, splitting up the low and the highs.

As always thanks bro, genius!
Thank you. Some of these techniques (like the phase shift) are more advanced than I feel I can master, but the basic concepts of parallel processing (and your demonstrations of it) are likely to improve my mixes.
¿What about splitting out the kick into a separate track so you can set a different compression level for it with regard to the other percussion?
Yup you gotta come up with whatever solutions serve your track. Drums might be combined in various sub busses before some or all go to a larger buss. And/or every individual element may get its own (parallel maybe!) compression
New York compression is specifically adding a high and low shelf EQ to the paralell signal.
