The best mixing series ever. I have learned more from listening to this guy talk than from any tutorial or book out there.
Woohoo! Mission accomplished!!
agreeeeeed
You should listen to his UBK happy Funtime hour podcast 👌
Can you read mate? (Just teasing)
the sexiest mixing tutorial out there...
I feel like we're on a date and you're explaining panning to me.
all his videos feel that way. like a long date with a sound engineer and every episode feels like a new topic in the conversation
Its great, isn't it?
@@TheWstawNazwe it’s amazing!
ahahahah
I feel like he took off my pants without touching me?
I always love how, unlike most audio UA-cam channels, you rarely, if ever, demonstrate anything you are talking about. We have to go and figure it out for ourselves, which is what learning is all about. Keep it up!
That’s the best way to teach mixing, bring out the theory and keep practicing it over and over.
To be honest I love these videos just for giving me inspiration. Usually after watching these I spend the next few hours tinkering with sounds and I love it.
Same. Greg's videos remind me of the Nike "just do it" ad where Tiger Woods steps up to a driving range and hits a couple of shots and suddenly all the amateur golfers who are there pick up on his vibe and they start magically hitting the ball better.
I prefer to mix with sunglasses on with one speaker turned off and sat in the neighbours living room. Really educational about how the low end translates to the neighbours. It's these kind of limitations that really get the creative juices flowing.
hahaha
It might not make a cool thumbnail but id love for you to make a video speaking more about how you got into making gear and some advice for those starting off on that path,. All the covid downtime got me into the DIY hole and Id greatly value any advice / food for thought on the topic you may have for us noobs :)
Well its about damn time you started making some gear Mr. Geary
Not close to Gregory's level, but the DIY gear path is one I headed down in the last few years: treefallsound.com PM me if you like to discuss.
Can't find the right words to explain how enriched I feel after such a lesson
Working with my four-track cassette portastudio has shown me the value of sending a mono tracks into stereo effects. Inspirational video, Greg!
i just love how chill you are, thank you lol
Lol. Yeah
this guy understands audio, as WELL as the concept of mirror neurons very well.
This man is Yoda for aspiring sound engineers. Don't stop master.
The intro alone, is worth a like. There's always anxiety waiting for a new video, but it's worth it. These are the lessons I look forward to.
When he's talking, my mind goes on it's own little tangents because he'll mention some idea and then take that idea to where he's going but my imagination takes it somewhere else. This guy is amazing! Underrated musical hero!
I used to have a major thing for sending a stereo signal to two mono center panned inputs on the desk (a real physical desk - it was some time ago) one was dry, the other was eq'd the same, but the twist was it was set to send all the signal to a reverb.
Then I'd MIDI control some panning into the sound.
It created a very different feel to just having a bit of verb... the sound seemed to feel like it was moving to and fro, as opposed to left and right.
Fun stuff.
When I normally watch these videos - I usually respond with "yeah I do that too"....purely because I 'fiddle' with sound and was never traditionally taught - and made quite a success of it too.
Today I initially thought - how cool!... never done that!..... but the I started to think about the sound design work I have done - particularly with 'Doctor Who' that requires you to create the weird and fantastical from sounds that sit in the most unusual places. Gone are the days of the old BBC Radiophonics workshop (although I do know some of the guys who worked in that area and spend most of their time now cleaning up old recordings) ..... so whilst I have not consciously tried these methods within songs - I have definitely done similar exercises to push the envelope and get weird and experimental...... once again- great video!
I fell like I'm being hypnotized every time I watch your videos. I just want to say that I forgot what I was going to say;)
“Phase dancing” love that 👍
...and yeah it's one of those days where syncronicity works at its best...struggling identifying the panning of a reference track and here he comes with another gem right on time...wicked
Reminds me of one my favorite things composer Mick Gordon said in a presentation (speaking about the Doom soundtracks) : “Change the process, change the outcome”. It’s such a simple idea, but it’s true. We all fall into a process thats comfortable for us, that we know can work well from prior experience, but it’s also going to direct us toward making the same decisions over and over. If you want to do something new, learn something new, you simply have to change your process. Set some uncomfortable parameters, it’ll start working music muscles you didn’t know you were neglecting :)
You are the best teacher online i've found. Really. So proud of the way im listening to my music now.
Thanks!
The different mono reverbs vibe is one of my go-to’s. Glad someone is talking about this, it’s a dope trick.
What a bad man this fella is🏴
This basically confirms the hypothesis of audio engineering, the more you experiment with audio, the more you know how we perceive the infinite amount of combinations, leading you to be a well experienced engineer to know how to get different audio tracks so consumer perceives it as musical as possible. So this is the classic: learn how to do the already-done art so then you can go further and come up with a new concept, and be the next viral song.
i loved this little era when i went from 'full-depth' panning to hard LCR. and now i'm loving a new era of going from LCR to full depth again
your voice is soooooo soothing, and i think that leads me to understanding everything you say better haha
The James Rocket has this throwback guitar thing (powerpop/garage/college) where there's always a lead/rhythm pair opposite of each other (or two rhythms with distinct parts, not doubling). On the first album I sent them discrete L/R, but on the next two albums I found the benefit of pulling them in a bit from the sides -- it made both the drums and any stereo fx seem WIDER. Turns out having paired instruments out to each side marks a sort of mental "fencepost", and when select bits are allowed to go beyond that perceived boundary it seems that little bit more "extra".
Tbh I never liked when songs had elements hard panned 100% in either direction. The way I see it, that’s now how our ears work irl. If we hear a noise coming from the far left in the distance, your right ear doesn’t automatically turn off to that sound. You still hear something even if it’s just a little bit.
This is even more jarring in movies and shows.
it tickles the ear a little bit, that's where it's fun. Stuff like the recorders/flutes in stairway to heaven being hard panned was probably just the technology of the time and the expectation it's going to be played on speakers, but I get enjoyment out of that sound on headphones. It's just different.
“panoramically diffuse” ❤️
This is my favourite ASMR channel
I missed you Kush... love you bro...
no joke this is the most gangster advice ever with all the pannings of instruments AND it's stereo effects in different places is for sure next level mixing, this video absolutely had me at the edge of my seat.
One fun exercise i do is,
I get to pick 3 one-shot samples that i have to turn into an entire song. I have to create all the sounds from those waveforms and process them into drums or fx and the instruments. You’d be pleasantly surprised with how good a song can turn out doing this
I don't see how this is a "kind of crap"... It's very valuable! I'm so grateful! Thank you!
I'm always grateful for the glimpses into your creative mindset.
Thank you, I needed that.
you remind me of bob ross painting a picture, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience
Incredible work as always Kush! Thank you so much!
You are great Man !!!
Thank you Gregory for sharing smart stuff with us!
Love yer vids, mate. I look forward to many more
Very useful, thanks!
So stoked every time, my friend. Thank you.
glad to see another upload, Iv been missing my UBK fix :)
Full of great ideas as always. Thank you.
Some folks only mix by a set formula. I like to experiment. I am totally with you on this one. Thanks bro!!
Keep it coming, strong and streaming! Absolutely agree about constraints, one of the best ways to turbo-charge creativity. Thanks for the reverb insights I shall give them a go in my next mix
dude. thank you!
Thank you 🙏 for all the information!
your videos are very good! thank you for making them!
You are wonderful.
These always help
Another excellent video! Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos, they are really insightful and helpful!
Thanks again Gregory for another mind expanding talk. Can't wait to try these ideas out.
After Hours keeps getting better. This is one of your best yet, and one of the things you do best-describe the "art" part of playing the studio like an instrument. Thanks for sharing!
Great series
Cheers Greg.
Thank you so much, I can literally hear my mixes get better with these tipps while watching.
Gotta say. Love you man because you think of mixing from a pro level-the tools are an instrument themselves-and it’s so refreshing to hear mixing from a musical perspective.
Thanks dude! 🤘🏼
Im learning a lot from you Gregg..thank you!
So important! Love watching your videos man. Good job and always inspiring ✨🤯
Cheers
You are the best! Every video takes me to another level
THANK YOUUU
This video is mind blowing. Thank you so much Gregory
Great! Gregory, your insights are so Valuable. I come to your channel from time to time and every time, I really learn new ways to hear. You've allowed me to understand that your ears and the development of them is the craft I am working on. You are a true gift that keeps on giving.Thank You Brother
Absolutely wonderful ideas in this. Makes me miss the Happy Fun Time podcast quite a bit! Keep these coming, Greg!!
Thank you so much for your advices and tricks, always implement them and stumble into to a whole new universe! ☮️✌️
Simple concepts brought to life.
Great exercises! Thanks for helping me to expand my thinking.
Love the constraints approach. Please do more videos. ❤️
Thanks, real food for thought and keep throwing it
Thank you Gregory, i really appreciate all your tricks and tips, very helpful 👏👏🙌👋
I just found your channel and definitely think for the most part when you talk about hard concepts (ie automating parallel effects and using multiple compressors for different purposes), I'm getting to the point where I don't get as much out of it anymore; which is okay, though I'm still far from where I want to be.
I do really enjoy these kinds of videos though. I like when you break into the abstract instead of providing information and instead talk about exercises and ideas that you have in relation to bettering your own craft.
I think providing people who are really fresh into mixing with concepts that pros use is amazing, but for people who make a living in pro audio, the good shit is when you talk about your thought processes and approaches to things outside of technique.
Keep up the amazing work and keep inspiring people. you've got something awesome going here (:
Thanks Greg for another Music = Life lesson👌
Thanks for the Vid man
Gregory Scott is an Amazing Teacher!!! Thanks for all the Great Info! I've learned more from you than most youtube tutorial videos. Excellent!!!
Great reverb ideas here. Thanks man.
Very interesting! I’ll try it!
Incredibly articulate. Philosophical. Thank you.
Dear Gregory, This is once again a totally excellent video. You are really incredibly inspiring. I will definitely do your mentioned exercises and I am already very excited about this musical journey. Thank you very much, all the best, and see you soon! :-)
Glad you did this VID. Took me some years to find out how I like to Mix like this, which is how you were mentioning in your Tutorial.
Again, always another Great Topic that helps us. Thank you, George 🎚🎧☺️
Great exercises, amazing lessons!!!!!! Thanks Mr.Gregory Scott....you are my guru!!!!! Oh! Captain, my captain!!!!!!!!!
Great ideas 💡 gonna have some fun today ha ha
I’ve been mixing for almost two years now. And every month I feel I’m getting way better than before. But this I think is some of the best advice. Breaking patterns and the reverb being panned and in mono... things I haven’t tried yet and seems like such a cool thing to do. Gonna try it out
Awesome exercises, thank you, different spaces for different mindstates. TYVM. GS ROCKS!
i have never thought to do this in my life. you were right.
Every time you talk about LCR panning I'm hearing "Healthier Panning" :)
I literally squealed in delight when I saw a notification for your video 😁
what a great vid! Im a huge fan of "harmonic" type of Mid/Side compression while in mono!
Gregory Scott...so fun to listen to you share...I knew there were deep waters in that head sir...thanks for taking us on another voyage!
Neat tips! I'll have to try them out! :)
this guy is really an artist
Your perspective on breaking the norm and wonderful scenarios able insightful and and creative enhancement. Thank you
Fun fun fun! 15%-20% panning... i'm digging it. And the idea of pushing the reverb to one side and a delay to the other. Great exercises.
I know I would love this one
I do the L/R different reverbs for drums in 75% of my mixes, thanks for the other tips!
I apply the second exercise A LOT… and it really makes a huge diffeence
This is a great exercise in most creative processes: Working within given constraints. It is a real creativity boost!
Thank you Gregory, interesting and informative but most of all fun! All of my mixing tends to be "experimental"... mostly not by choice though!! 😂👍
thank you mix jesus
I like how you kick the hi hat on the last fill of the outro theme. Jazzy. I'm applying this panned delay/reverb idea to my current mix session. I have one electric guitar mono with sends to two fx buses that are hard panned and tucked down to add width. Sounding nice IMO. Thanks
Nice tips, already been doing most of the panning moves for the whole time I’ve been mixing, possibly comes from me mixing many live shows where hard panning is disadvantageous to people that are off to one side.
