    good sound selection is the most important thing i learned in sound engineering college. if you find yourself needing to use any extreme eq or sidechaining to make sounds fit together then something needs to be removed or swapped. i find if i've got a great groove going and it's sounding muddy after some basic eq then the best thing to do is start removing channels one by one. usually you'll find everything becomes a lot clearer and more powerful when you've removed the offending sound which might be great on its own but doesn't work in the mix. choose what the star of the show is and treat your other elements as support

    Im producing for 12 years, Im also a trained sound engineer and I really have to say that you mentioned almost all the important things.. I would have only one more important thing to note, which is the right sidechain.. Sidechaining has greatly improved the sound of my songs and is one of the most important components for a good and clean sounding in my opinion :)

      ​@@Andre21206side chain the sub with the kick, it will clear up the mud that would usually be there from the kick and sub frequencies competing and then use that technique to have (for example) your snare cut thru any instruments that are competing with the crack of the snare... Of course only use it if necessary or else it will thin out your mix

    Hi thought id add a couple of helpful definitions here to clear up to misunderstanding amongst the "in the box" producers.
    GAIN STAGING: comes from the world of recording and mixing with analog gear: The act of optimising the signal level through each audio device in a signal chain, or through each section of a mixing console, to maintain an appropriate amount of headroom and keep the signal well above the system noise floor.
    Compressor attack time: When a sound goes above the threshold, the compressor does not instantly apply the full compression to the overshooting signal. Instead, the compression ratio increases gradually from 1:1 to the maximum within a certain amount of time. This time is called the attack time.
    let me know what other bits of information I can quickly clear up and add here.

      Hey @SIKKY BEATS great video. But can you clear "Phasing issues" for me....I mean I tried to learn through other sources but I'm still standing on the point where I started from. Not really able to understand it man...and what exactly does it sound like so that I know when I'm havin it?...It will be great if you could clear this for me and others too.

    • @SIKKYBEATS
      @SIKKYBEATS  4 роки тому +2

      @@iamphoeniiix audio wave forms visually go up and down. like a sine wave.∿
      imagine when the wave form is on top is +1, and when its below its -1.
      if you were to play 2 sine waves at the exact same time but one wave form started with +1 and the second wave form started with -1
      you would get 0. this is phase. when audio from 2 sources clash with each other and result in a quieter sound. sometimes it is quite in only certain frequencies.
