How many others channels make perfect easy to understand tutorials like this ? And even better how many channels have the decency and consideration to respond to each and every comment and question. I only know if one and that's this amazing gentleman. Legend !
Thanks Daniel! :) I set aside some time every day to reply to comments. I think it's important to engage with people and try to help out in any way I can, even if it takes up quite a lot of time. I too have noticed that most youtubers don't bother doing that. I'm still rather small though, just 5000 subs, It must be a lot harder when there's 100 times that amount. Still, I'll continue helping out for as long as it's possible :)
Another way you can shorten the tail of the kick is increasing the out parameter in the 'precomputed effects' section in the sample tab, that way you don't have to load the kick to the channel rack, and shorten it's tail using the envelope settings in the envelope section.
Man your turorials are great . For the first time i've used compressor eq reeverb properly and fixed my kick and low end . I'm producing for 10 years on blind by ear and my mixes were muddy and low volume . Thank you the difference is huge just with this steps . I'm looking forward to learn more and more. I wanna now about saturation and automation clips more in depth. Thanks
Everyone has their own way of learning, I do have always many questions, but you explained almost anything whithin one simple tutorial how to be better! Thank you for that! I just saw first video and I'm gladly suprised! Gonna watch you and subscribe, like all your videos! keep it up!
love your videos :) Any ideas how to make Kygo style percussion Stereo image, i know its stereo processing and panning but no idea which plugins are good for it :o
would be awesome to hear ur feed back on my new vocal edit with andrew harris, would love to hear ur feedback on the mix, really spent alot of time on the mix, also what was the marimba you used on ur sexual healing remake, been looking for that exact marimba for ages :D its from some keyboard marimba isnt it ? like korg etc
I usually like to use stereo delay (separation) on various percussion elements to get them slightly out of time. That's great for making more room. Usually, everything will happen at the same time on a hat or on a kick or on a bass or whatnot, this way you'll be able to make them stand out more and be heard in the mix. For panning I usually like to automate it manually rather than using plugins. :)
I don't remember exactly which one it was. I'm at work right now but I can check when I get home. I think it was two marimbas actually, or one marimba and a hat perhaps.. I remember I couldn't find one that was like the original, so I had to try and make my own by layering and saturating it. :)
So the baseline can be sidechained to the kick and the sub bass? i see some people sidechaining the kick to the baseline and some kick to sub? i don't get it :(
I always tell people that even if they produce music their entire life, by the time they die they still won't know it all. It's an extensive subject for sure. :)
Hey firewalk thanks for you useful job! Could i ask you if you want do some tutorials how to make a emotional athmosphere? Pad, bass, plucks, violins, voices... All of these things combined in big ambients. I love these things but i can'do do these very good. Thanks man i learn every day from you!
Thanks! Sure, I can make a tutorial about this. There's a lot of different ways to add ambience. It also depends on the genre of course. Some use more ambience than others, ranging from white noise to more tonal and rhythmic elements.
It's fully possible to layer two kicks, like one with a lot of low end, and another providing more high end. Be careful about overlap though, you don't want two kicks with a lot of low end at the same time.
Hey, this technique fattens up the low end by making sure that the tail of the kick does not interfere with the onset of the bass. If you have a long held bass note this won't work. You'll have to rely on sidechaining the bass or use EQ automation to reduce some of the low end of the kick to make sure there's room for everything in the low end.
I know this question am asking has nothing to do with this tutorial.. all I want to know is should I keep my lead vocals in mono or stereo? and also do a tutorial on how to convert mono sound to stereo thank you
Vocals are often recorded in mono and placed towards the center of a track. This is what enables you to extract or remove vocals from a track by using phase cancellation. That said, it's not a rule and some times a vocal can be spread out also. Especially background vocals, ad libs and such can be spread out.
In that case I recommend using a transient shaper. Alternatively you could chop up the loop and treat the individual elements differently. Check out my "beatformer" video, it deals with just that kind of thing.
Great tips! Thank you so much Firewalk! I wanted to ask, do you think that a subwoofer is imperative for mixing? I can't afford one and it would also be too loud for my apartment. So I am doing a little bit of guessing with the super low end... any thoughts?
Hey Daniel. This is a great question that requires a long answer.. But I'll try to make it short. I'm going to make a video about this in the near future. The short answer is: Yes and no. I wouldn't recommend using a subwoofer while you work. It will amplify the low end by a lot. Most of us don't have 100.000 dollar studios, so the listening environment will be less than optimal, causing reflections and even more bass buildup. Working under those circumstances will almost certainly influence the way you mix in a negative way. You will make decisions based on false input. It's then easy to end up with a mix that has too little low end. What you SHOULD do with a subwoofer is to use it to check every now and then to make sure the low end is right, or check for conflicts in the low end area that your main monitors won't be able to reproduce. Just as you should check your mix with headphones and monitors as you go along, to make sure it sounds good on both, you should do the same with a subwoofer. Here's an example explaining why you would need a subwoofer: Let's say you make a mix that you're happy with. You bring it to your car to listen to it there, and it sounds terrible.. The bass is way too loud.. You go back to your room and it sounds fine there.. This is a typical scenario we all experience. Most average sized studio monitors will produce sounds from 50 - 20.000+ hz. This means that you won't actually be able to hear the low end bellow 50 hz. And there's plenty of energy in that 30-40 hz area. In order to reproduce these frequencies, you need big cones. Most people don't buy 10" studio monitors. So that's why a subwoofer comes in handy. If you listen to a mix in a car with a 12" subwoofer in such a confined space, even the tiniest amount of bass will become deafening. If you have a subwoofer, you can then use the it when making critical low end decisions that you wouldn't be able to hear otherwise. This will save you a lot of "reference time" as I call it. You won't have to spend so much time running around testing your mix on various systems in order to make it sound good. I could go on forever talking about this, but I hope this answered your question. A 8" or 10" subwoofer will usually be a good match for most 5 - 8" studio monitors. :)
Thank you so much for such an amazing response! I guess I will have to just send music to friends with subwoofers for reference when I am at the finishing stages or right before I get to the ultimate "car test." I like your strategy because I can definitely imagine mixing with a sub results in too little low end. Love your answers, they are always so helpful :)
How do I create fat cushion sounding mixes. How do I make keys and string also fat and cushiony? Most times I try to make my keys and strings fat they get distorted quickly.
When you layer too much it will start to distort and phase etc. Try to use stereo separation to make them wider. Also, use panning to spread similar sounds on the right and left speaker to avoid cancellation issues. A wider mix will almost always sound more epic and more "huge" in a way. To add fatness you can also try adding some saturation. Especially on the mid range. But don't use too much or you'll make it sound harsh instead.
So your kicks sound almost slappy and tight, how would one make them sound wider? I have this problem with my kicks all the time, they always sound so tight
Generally, kicks should usually be in mono. Transient shapers can be a good tool when working with kicks. I can also recommend a plugin called beatformer from accusonus.
Can your bass and sub bass be in the same key? or does the kick, the bass and sub bass all have to be in different keys to prevent phase cancellation from happening?
Would the same effect happen if you go into piano roll and write out the keep to end right before the bass. You can turn the hold parameter all the way up and the rest all the way down? Just a curious question.
Let's say I create a 'bus' for the entire percussion set (kick, snares, claps, hits, toms hi hats, etc). Should I apply this "low end" to the main bus?.
@@FireWalkMusic Could you please recommend what kind of elements besides the kick, I should apply this on?. I'm not a newbie but first time I get into the technical part, I started by songwritting and composing, now I'm into 'self-producing'.
find some kick, clap or snare sample in FL studio, click on the sample setting, you will found it on the precomputed effects, it's called pogo effect. But you can also use pitch to tighten up your drum. I hope you can understand my explanation.
hey bro how long can a bass and 808 can go... i use most time the root key eg if a root key was in E or F i use bass line or 808 in the same key in lower octave but the bass and 808 sits around 30 ~ 32 hz but cant listen those bass on speakers.. in headphones it was in a small amount of volume compared to a G bass Key which Nearly Sits on 40~42 hz can be heard in lots of speaker and headphones clearly and had an amazing thumping effect... what can i do if i write a song in the key of E or F and have the bass to be heard is there any way to do this or i have any hearing problems on those 30~35 hz frequency range... it was my major doubt when i start produce song...and my hearing also so good as a average person...want some clear view about using those E or F root key basslines or 808 basses... awaiting for a reply..
It depends on the mix and the genre. But keep in mind that low frequencies have more energy than higher frequencies at the same volume, even though we tend to perceive them as quieter. That's because our human ears are not very sensitive to low fequencies, so you need to take this into account when mixing. Also, keep in mind that most speakers can't reproduce frequencies bellow 50 hz. Usually, you'll end up with a very low going kick, and a rolled off sub, or a rolled off kick and a low sub. If you need it to go all the way down, I would roll it off gently so that it doesn't muddy up the mix as the speakers struggle to reproduce frequencies they can't really reproduce. Have you watched my how to EQ tutorial? There's some useful information about this stuff in there: ua-cam.com/video/-LFK2xgKMQU/v-deo.html
Why did you turn off the 'bass' mixer track (at 2:57) while saying "it's a good idea to have the bass playing"? Does the bass still affect the kick like it would if the 'bass' mixer track were off? If so, why? Thanks, Dan
Sorry for the confusion. I had to shoot the video again due to some problems the first time, and it got a bit out of sync when reusing the audio. When I said it's a good idea to have the bass playing, that doesn't mean you should only do this with the bass playing, try it with and without and you'll find the sweet spot. :)
Do what I say, not what I do! ;) Seriously though, it's often difficult to show mixing techniques and such in a video without confusing the viewer. Often times it's impossible to even hear what's really going on, so you'll have to either exaggregate or adjust things in isolation to make it easier to hear what's going on, when in reality you would typically do it in the mix, with everything else playing. :)
@@FireWalkMusic I totally understand! I get why you did it that way now, thanks for informing me. I loved the video either way, very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!
or you can just fade the kick sample itself. oh wait, this is FL. Everything requires much more extra steps LOL! im jk i love talking shit about FL. great video thou, i learned this a year or two ago and my low end sounds so much better because of it
I assume you're in Ableton? Actually, I much prefer Ableton myself when it comes to audio handling. It's just very streamlined when it comes to that sort of thing. But then again there are other things that's easier in FL and vice versa, so in the end it just boils down to which workflow you prefer overall. :) In Fl you can just turn the knob in the sampler as well to fade it, but I prefer to do it this way because it gives you more control of the curves. :) Some times I just throw a transient shaper on it too. It depends on the kick itself. I've even been known use LFOtool on some kicks as well, when I need that really fine control. Turn on the waveform display and you can see exactly where it needs to be faded out, which gives you much more control than using a compressor or a transient shaper. A little bit more work though. It just depends on how lazy you are :D
your voice kind of sounds like the guy who narrates the show How Its Made
You're not the first person to say that :p
you should call your tutorial series "How Beats Are Made" lol
that's a great idea! :p
The alternative title for this video would be:

Another way you can shorten the tail of the kick is increasing the out parameter in the 'precomputed effects' section in the sample tab, that way you don't have to load the kick to the channel rack, and shorten it's tail using the envelope settings in the envelope section.

With the envelope on you can just draw out the notes in the piano roll and only tweak the release knob. Faster and easier.

Why did you turn off the 'bass' mixer track (at 2:57) while saying "it's a good idea to have the bass playing"? Does the bass still affect the kick like it would if the 'bass' mixer track were off? If so, why?
Thanks,
Dan
Sorry for the confusion. I had to shoot the video again due to some problems the first time, and it got a bit out of sync when reusing the audio.
When I said it's a good idea to have the bass playing, that doesn't mean you should only do this with the bass playing, try it with and without and you'll find the sweet spot. :)
Less talking, more showing :) I like it! Sub! :)
Thanks :)
noiceee
Thanks :)

muddy sound please!!
It's on my list :)
HAHA nice pattern name :)
hehe, not everyone notice that :D
Yeah isn’t it easier to just edit the length and out setting on sampler?
grt
Thanks :)
2:56: “it’s a good idea to do this while the bass is playing.”
*doesn’t do it while the bass is playing*
Do what I say, not what I do! ;)
Seriously though, it's often difficult to show mixing techniques and such in a video without confusing the viewer. Often times it's impossible to even hear what's really going on, so you'll have to either exaggregate or adjust things in isolation to make it easier to hear what's going on, when in reality you would typically do it in the mix, with everything else playing. :)
@@FireWalkMusic I totally understand! I get why you did it that way now, thanks for informing me. I loved the video either way, very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!

or you can just fade the kick sample itself. oh wait, this is FL. Everything requires much more extra steps LOL! im jk i love talking shit about FL. great video thou, i learned this a year or two ago and my low end sounds so much better because of it
I assume you're in Ableton? Actually, I much prefer Ableton myself when it comes to audio handling. It's just very streamlined when it comes to that sort of thing. But then again there are other things that's easier in FL and vice versa, so in the end it just boils down to which workflow you prefer overall. :)
In Fl you can just turn the knob in the sampler as well to fade it, but I prefer to do it this way because it gives you more control of the curves. :) Some times I just throw a transient shaper on it too. It depends on the kick itself. I've even been known use LFOtool on some kicks as well, when I need that really fine control. Turn on the waveform display and you can see exactly where it needs to be faded out, which gives you much more control than using a compressor or a transient shaper. A little bit more work though. It just depends on how lazy you are :D
The Extreme example was a bit Extreme , i find that The kick is abit unusable
Indeed. Often times people don't really hear a difference, so I exasperated a lot in order to really bring it out. :)
@@FireWalkMusic yeah :)
And...
And what.. ?
This is some shit to dance with your boyfriend too
