THE INVERSE LINK FEATURE IS NUTS!!! I bought a bundle a long time ago that came bundled with Neutron 3 and I had no idea this existed. Thank you for showing this feature off! It's amazing!!
Thanks for the tuts Mr Loose on how to tighten my low end! It’s hard to know without any external reference specially using headphones. The visuals are quite handy in neutron I never used them before.
If I have to boost something, most of the times I just cut the very unwanted frequencies first and then I simply turn up the fader to make the freq I want to stand out to the correct level. if it's not enough I just gently cut the adjacent frequencies around the one I want to boost and I just do the pocket thing + side chain. I think that cutting preserves the sound more compared to boosting but after watching this video I've noticed that boosting 2 different frequencies on kick and bass it's what gives that thick "pro" low end separation feeling I've always missed, totally different from simply making the 2 elements fit together using only the "pocket method" after equalizing them in solo. Today is a good day for me thanks to this video.
Why would you measure the loudness difference in LUFS when mixing the low end? You can have true peaks that are higher and use more headroom but have a lower LUFS reading, right?
They just choose some elements of focus for the video targeted mostly for beginners. Nothing He said here is anything I didn't already know and do already.
I understand the logic here, but I think this kind of mix driven by kick tends to make all songs sounding pretty much the same (boom - boom - boom - boom). Might be OK for EDM, not so sure for other styles where bass is not just an "impact", but also brings groove and different notes.
You can choose if You want kick or Bass to be lower then the other. Hiphop tends to sound better with the bass lower then the kick but in DNB its the opposite.
If your bassdrum sounds boom boom, your mixes seem to be muddy. The indication being there is not enough separation of kick and bass. Which is a key to a successful or a bad mix. Most amateur mixes are terribly bass heavy and sound terrible especially after being maximized when lot of the access bass is converted into loads of distortion to make up for a solid lack of headroom before.
I can confirm this is true, I’ve learned mastering and if you do this to certain music then it takes away a lot of the track’s elements and it feels like something is always missing
finally, something faster and synthetic was used as an example song here :) I would love to see you mix a fullOn / psytrance style song somewhere like 145 bpm with a galloping melodic bass line and a fast clicking kick. and the question immediately arises to me: what about the phase and exclusions in the kick bass relationship? Maybe in a technical song or in minimal or general EDM it doesn't play such a big role as during the first bass hit on the oscilloscope it overlaps when the tail of the kick sine is still sounding and the sidechain doesn't help much hehe😀 and it would also be worth mentioning that it's sharp and light lo cut on the sub bass or kick shifts the phase, which results in mutual cancellation in the graph. (yes, I know about the existence of nonlinear eqs 😜) anyway, cool tips. we want more of them
@@DEL8_PL I think with mixing its sometimes easy to over think it. Sometimes I look at a mix that sounds good but its very mono but sometimes that kinda works, it can be a bit annoying when something is panned one side without something complementing the other. Alot of famus 80s tunes had this problem only really noticeable in headphones.
Export your track and put the your in a app like audacity with a reference track, how does it look, are there any visible peaks? Does your track look like a cactus, vs the smooth rounded reference track, because if so You need compression. Ones your track and the reference track look very similar then play them side by side back on as many different speaker and headphonesas possible. Do both your track and the reference track sit well together side by side at the same volume? If its Yes then your done.
I mean, that's a bit like saying lets go back to Oil Lamps over Electricity. This may have been good advice 15+ years ago, but in the new digital age, music mixing has evolved. Especially since most of the music is made for digital platforms listened to on cellphones or pods. Not only that, but the track you are referencing was likely mixed on hardware, not software. Will it "look" the same? Sure, but will it sound the same? Absolutely not.
@@sorenandrews1078 UA-cam blocked My comment but no its not, because I used Reason 4 for since 2007 up until 2021 lol 15 years before upgrading to 12 so I'm exactly the person your talking about.
Jaja eso no es un bajo eso es un teclado jaja, el bajo tiene 4 , ( 5 o 6 ) cuerdas y no tiene nada que ver con un teclado, hubera sido lindo decirle a Jaco que que el lugar delbajo era ocupar los graves, nunca voy a enterder porque le ponen un compresor a un teclado 🤔

Mr. Loose talking about tightening up the low end. Haha love it
You can’t make this stuff up…
Beat me to it you bastard lol

Accurate work as always. Thanks Izotope 🥂

One of the best videos I have seen here.
Wow, i am often using the unmasking feature but i didnt know about the inverse link function and how it works. Great tutorial!
same, I was like 👀
Does cutting like 3:30 won't engage in phase issues ?
with a -12 dB its less problematic. -24dB or -48dB or brickwall is worse
im not a professional so correct me if im wrong but thats what I know🙃
Best Video on this Channel thanx
Nice and easy Clean, boost and pocket ! Thanks izotope 💎
Multiband feature on trash2 with the high end being active is a great way to get your 808 to cut through in a mix.
Thanks, needed this!
Thanks Sam! 🙌

That's really easy to follow. Thanks.
thanks, Sam as always this is the best explanation
Congrats D.A.D.!!
Please make RX Connect compatible within Studio One. Yall have the technology to do it. 😊
Hi! I would love to see a tutorial how you use Neutron in a Reggae mix Especially Bass and kick
Is there a correlation between the key of the kick and where you cut/boosted eq in the beginning? (35 Hz cut and 1 Hz boost)
Why would you measure the loudness difference in LUFS when mixing the low end? You can have true peaks that are higher and use more headroom but have a lower LUFS reading, right?

@@HOLLASOUNDS that has nothing to do with my question, lol. But yes, these are obviously beginner tutorials.

@@wolfhard2420 Use headphones and a refrence track to hear and see the difference.
@@wolfhard2420 By "boom - boom" I meant too much kick drum, so that at the end you just hear it and you just kill the bass signal.
I can confirm this is true, I’ve learned mastering and if you do this to certain music then it takes away a lot of the track’s elements and it feels like something is always missing
Something I like to do:
Put Ozone Imager on the bass after saturating the miss/highs. Then give everything over 160-ish just a kiss of width.
Thanks for sharing ❤

In Pro Tools it only lets me sidechain buses, how do I get it to sidechain from other neutron eq bands
8:00 just turn volume up on the sub rather than messing with Eq and phase :D.
No because that would be changing the mix which is mixing, vs this videos topic which mastering.

Sorry in advance for the lameness element I'm thinking about but, an AI that applies these settings?
Merci pour ce tuto :o)
Level compensate please......
sam loose i love u
Is that a “Dad” shirt?
It most certainly is 😎
@@SamLoosenice! I love it!
@iZotopeOfficial if I purchase Neutron 4, does it also come with previous versions of Neutron?
No
Skullcandy crusher headphones for the low end... 😂🎉😅
It’s a matter of taste, but for me, version before processing seems better balanced
Damn ever since Nicholas did his kick bass mix vid everyone doing them, 😂 UA-cam.

I'm the second to comment i need a MacBook Pro izotope 🥈😅
This is sounding so messy to me...
Now work on video quality. This video is so dark I have my contrast way up to try and compensate. Maybe there is a vampire filter on, I'll check......
Get your eyes examined- really nice positive comment
Video is great.....something is wrong in your settings
Yeah, get your eyes examined. Video looks fine.
