In todays video a take a look a pro mix engineer mixed by ali and show you how mixed by ali uses the ssl console to get cool sounds. I show you how mixed by ali uses recording templates and how mixed by ali mixes. - Фільми й анімація
Remember that Ali also made Section 80 sound great purely in the box w/ cracked plugins and a broken mic. Dude is special lol
Knowledge comes b4 the tools. You can have the whole console but with no knowledge the result not gonna be the same.
Remember everyone, the #1 mixer in the world Serban Ghenea is completely in the box. Don’t worry about gear, do what you can with what you have 👍🏾
He’s working with recordings that are going thru top end gear.
@@trevorellis-guice5794 Love yours, do what you can with what you have. Worrying about what you don’t have is pointless 👍🏾
he's still using some of the old ass Metric Halo plugins too 😅
@@HuntersGalaxy I agree, but Serban works with top level source material
I don't think that there is a "#1" mixer. I'm sure Serban is great.
So true. Having worked in some of the biggest studios in the world I can say this dude is totally on point. I’m not saying plug-ins won’t eventually catch up to outboard gear, but they’re definitely not there yet. When I compare my analog outboard to the plug-ins, none of the plug-ins can touch Physical outboard. It’s not a matter of opinion or preference, it’s just a fact. Just put a JunoDS next to a 106 & pull up same patch. Not even a fair fight.
You not lying most ppl can't afford it. I've been analog hands on for the last 5yrs and its a sound that can't be duplicated no matter how hard they try. From the tubes to fet transistors
So what secrets did we learn today kids? That Ali likes mixing on an SSL! Whoo hoo!
thank you for the useful information, very helpful 🙌
You can mix in the box and make as many hits as mixing on an SSL. But the problem is. If the song ain’t a hit it don’t matter and if the song is a hit it don’t matter. It’s all about the song.
These young producers have way more creative options by mixing in the box and I’m an analog guy hard core. Worked on SSL for years I mix in the box.
The box is the same like when digital daw just came in the game...we can do way more in the box with plugins and its easier to do in the box. Ppl only talk about warmth when comparing analog
@@Sleeplessnights007 I agree with you. The only downside to the box is too many options.
Analog will always sound better why because humans are analog and analog strikes a different emotion on humans then digital does.
But with that being said nobody cares only us engineers can hear the difference but the listeners can feel the difference they just don’t know what there feeling. So with all that being said nobody care as far as the listeners goes they either like the song or they don’t.
Analog will make like most songs because analog just feels better , and it has more emotion. But analog is over. For the most part l.
NEW GEORGE T CANT STOP WONT STOP
Smashed it 🎉
The greatest mixing engineer in the world is individual peoples ears
Most of those Analog equipments don't have Mid-Side capabilities amd nowadays its really a big deal. And with the warmth or character, i beleive that its a personal taste and sound and the way i go about it is to use multiple instances of analog emulation plugins each one with a fairly sound till i feel like its warm or bright enough. If i have to use 3 nls plugins to achieve a certain character on drums i will do it, if i have to use 3 ssl bus comp on my mix bus i will and it really works for me, its literally a hack that i use when mixing my clients mixes at my home studio. Another one is, i can make a sound dark/warm and punchy enough and later use something like Fresh air at the end of the vocal chain to give it that air, beleive me, it sounds way better. Its just personal taste and workflow.
For me since I cant afford one of those consoles at the moment is kinda sad LOL but I would love to get my hands on a consoles like those. God job George. Greeting from Panama
Get ssl 2+
If you know how to mix it doesn´t matter
bro you are boss
Been tryna figure this out for a long time but do you just hook it up to your computer or how does it setup?
in the dj Khaled recording God Did, you said the Avalon vt-757. But you are supposed to say the Avalon vt-737 cause there is no such thing as a Avalon vt-757 and he also uses the Apollo from Universal Audio.
Hey george Its possible your ultimate effects template for Reaper?
dude how are you mixing your voice? what is with all the clicks. love the content though
where can i find clip of ali mixing DNA?
This video can discourage some people. He is saying that analog is the best. Well it isn’t! Sometimes it is a huge problem because analog has lots of noise, sometimes you want it and sometimes not. I use Universal Audio plugins SSL E and Neve 88RS ch.strips and I love how these sound!
One advice for aspiring producers from me…use analog drum samples…multisampled instruments like guitars and orchestral stuff and these days we have soooo many analog samples for free that you do not have to worry about anything! ;)
Just so y’all know, Jesse ray ernster mixed Burnaboy’s grammy winning song “Twice as tall” all in the box!
You’re wrong in two out of three ways. Tracked on top notch analog gear and mastered on analog too. Tell the whole story.
Yo these videos are amazing, but please throw on a HP filter on your voice lol. Any time you hit a plosive, I think somebody's slamming a car door outside my house.
So basically saturation… hahaha
That intro lol
he uses a SSL4000 and plugins! hardware!
F@ck man , its been almost a year that i compare and mix my songs comparing goodkid n butterfly ... no wonder why no matter what i do my drums n bass can't go as high as his ... a legend love him - cant wait to work with him and get my own ssl :)
Did you use lots of saturation, distortion and parallel compression?
I garuntee you don't need an ssl to get what your missing, at most his hardware might make it simpler to get the exact sound, but I promise you could also do it entirely in the box and get just as good of results with just as much work if you found a process. Like the other guys said, saturation, compression, and then good sound selection and arrangement will get you 95% there on its own.
well saturation and distortion wont work as you may think - that's why he says no matter what these companies promise you ,you cant achieve the analog "good" clipping ... maybe and little bit of saturation to the upper mids of 808 or upper mid of a kick .... but it wont do a difference cause saturation is about flavour ... parallel compression i wont suggest it - what i would do is double track basically parallel compression without the compressor but again you can double as much as you want the track but the sum should go below -12 rms ....or else there is clipping digital which sounds bad - thats where the analog comes in , he clips it on the ssl which sounds good and then routes it back into the daw and he has an advantage over me or over anyone who uses just the computer daw , sonically and level wise :P thats why his drums especially kick n snare go so loud and clear :)@@terenceblack3724
no it won't -but never mind :) if you want you can show me a track you ve made and we can comprare it to let's say money trees- kendrick lamar @@incognitiveincognito
Get a summon mixer
2:30
Is that your real voice?
No
He sounds like he is getting horny speaking about audio stuff LOL
In short he clips the sounds, distorts them or saturates them
Seems he mastered a cracked version and shitty mic before he got out the box and so he got the chance to use real authentic gear so of course it would change the game
yea its fun but expensive. This field is not cheap. I promise i will be the greatest in the box to do it. Just watch
Nah You gotta go through me first lol
lol how i see it i wanna keep working all together. BEAT this AI ish@@NurseWalker
@@MoveTrueRecords_Big facts. They trying to replace us smh
NEVER. LETS WORK BRO!!. Cant replace the SOUL@@NurseWalker
But if I had an unlimited budget I would mix solely in analog.
I don’t want templates either because if you use templates all your mixes will sound the same and you will not discover new tricks through mistakes.
Templates will make you lazy and less creative.
I would rather have to start from scratch on every single mix just for the creative process. Because I feel different every single day life is not a template neither is music.
What tf is the box????
Computer box. Laptop. Desktop. A box
Analog consoles are not magic, to sound good you just need to learn mixing, don´t believe the hype of rich people
Ali mixed Section 80 with cracked plugins and a broken microphone. He earned his stripes and it's cool to see younger mixers like Ali preserve the great engineering that went into those boards and still utilise it
Just because you have ssl no guarantee you make things sound good 👍 it depends
Wow so insightful who woulda thought
but that chances are that if you have an ssl console, you're probably coming from a family who professionally do music, and have been trained to use it lol
Wow REALLY??? His secret is using 150.000€ ssl G 4000 console??? Wow who would of thought his mixes sound great and his mentor was Dr.dre lol. People dont even know how much $$$ you need to spend to mantain these old consoles. And if hes using this console hes probably using all analogue vintage gear worths millions. No wonder his sound is good. Oh i forgot thats "his secret" while madvillain was recorded on 1500€ of gear and slaps
Watch the video he is using the console to just sum at this point. He could mix all itb and it would sound 97% there. It’s the ear not the gear to some extent 😉
Bro honestly I don’t really like how Ali mixes stuff. I mean it sounds ok, it sounds “nothing special “ IMHO
all subjective, i really fuck with his mixes
@@mdptg1990 that’s what IMHO means, it was my personal opinion, thanks
@@Gualaguala659Come back in a year or two to this comment.
@@nuellebeats1774 for what?😂
he is a better mixer than jaycee Joshua....jacen Joshua sounds like what a Mitsubishi eclipse would sound like if it mixed for a living
