Hey Kenny. Loving the new mixing series. Would love to see you mixing the vocals, guitars or bass of the song if you can extend the same series some how. Thanks for everything you do for us.
Could you do a full video on routing each drum in SSD 5 to a separate channel or point me in the right direction if you already have it. I cant seem to find it. Thanks!
Great subject, great video as always. In my personal experience, three or more +3db boosts on an instrument means I have lost the forest through the trees. When that happens, I bring everything to 0 and try subtractive EQ on problem areas. More often than not, I'm happier with 1 cut than 3 boosts.
Hi Kenny, thanks for your videos. I think the auto make up gain function is not so good, because it makes sound louder then input signal, that can be confusing. Manual adjusting works better
Thanks Kenny, You're the best! Great series! Question, about auto make up gain... I followed along to your process with one of my kick mics peaking at -12, when I applied the same amount of GR averaging ~3-4db, rare loud hits @~6), I had to apply -9.5db to wet, to keep my track peaking at the same volume. I thought the idea of gain staging was to keep tracks at the same level after apply fx? Have I lost the plot? Any feedback appreciated
Sorry for being a noob, what do you mean by transients?

Transients are the very short attack (usually few ms) at the very beginning of sounds. They appear as sharp peaks in the waveforms of percussive sounds (drums, percussions, acoustic guitars...).
Going to check this out since I pride myself on still being able to mix a great live drum sound

Huge improvement in the sound quality of kick/snare. Great simple EQ and Comp. example

Damn Kenny, you're a saint. 🤘
Strap in cuz Kenny bout to drop some bombs. Probably parallel compressed bombs......

I appreciate the softer punch in the intro, my jaw couldn't take much more 🤕

It's not perfect. I often have to adjust the wet adjustment as well.
@@REAPERMania for sure, thanks for the reply! If it sounds good it is good, and it sounded good!
nice song
oh....now I need a drummer. Can I ask Myk? Cool tips as always. But for now I do not record live audio but with plugins...really nice thanks Kenny
I got you, fam 🤘🏿
yay @@LetsTalkAboutReaper
How does one avoid the cymbals from being adversely affected by the compression? I am using the drum crush but the cymbals sound un natural
Kenny do you ever EQ before the compressor to help not driving it hard or nuts?
Yes. If I'm doing any substantial cutting of frequencies I would do that before the compressor so it doesn't trigger the threshold.
@@REAPERMania Kenny thanks as always for the video and the info. Maybe if you could work a video in where you have to cut some would be great.

@ Yup. :)
@ like picks striking the string?
@@chrisdaviesguitar Yes !
Kinda misleading, no? These drums are programmed, not tracked
Yeah without all the bleed I feel like it's a lot more straightforward...
