      If it took you "years" to figure it out, you're either lying with exaggeration or still suck at mixing music. Mixing in Mono is an old school technique of the 70-80s. It's not a new method.

      My dude, you don't instantly start as a pro! The fuck are you on about? I've been interested in beatmaking since I was like 11, and now, 6 years later I'm getting used to it and feel better with the sound of my music. I've started learning from youtube producers for the last year, and I've improved a lot since then. Figuring things out on your own can be really hard for some people, like it was for me, but getting help from others is never a bad thing, just like with anything, getting help is a good idea

    What up @LifeStyleDidit great video bro been a part of FL Gang for some years now and you've taught me a few new things I really didn't grasp as well as I do appreciate it, but @ 16:25 if you want to mute your fx plugins, the FX buttons (those that are glowing yellow) at the bottom of each mixer is what you can click on to easily cut the fx chains for each mixer channel.

      neeraj singh yeah I could do that. Honestly the easiest way is to do the kicks first and get a nice rhythm going, then just copy and paste the kick pattern into the 808 and just make sure the notes you choose are in key. Then go around and have fun with it

    @Smaextn 5 років тому +1

    great video, thanks for the advice! When cutting out the lower frequencies, how do you decide between using a real lowcut vs a low shelf? (because i've seen you doing both)

    • @LifeStyleDidIt
      @LifeStyleDidIt  5 років тому

      Just using your ear! low shelf is calmer

    • @splashgvng
      @splashgvng 5 років тому

      a low shelf will give it a more natural sounding cut vs the lowcut will result in a more dramatic change in the eq. so like he said use ur ears and if in doubt try both and go with whatever u prefer!
