    This is the best music production tutorial I've ever seen. Finished my first track a couple of weeks ago, but I just couldn't mix it properly. Instead of just giving us a list of steps to follow, you demonstrated a very professional workflow. That's what I liked the most. You helped me organize my mix better, and now I know what goes first. Can't thank you enough.

      @GreediPhresh The way in the video is great, I usually use a fader to lower all the tracks first by 10DB directly to prevent my stereo out track from turning orange. Then I start balancing. This is my way I don't know if it is correct.

In the late 90's I started recording live shows with Digital Performer and then switched to ProTools in 2002. Did mostly live until I retired in 2019. I am now helping younger friends record using Logic. Thanks from an old guy for all the short-cuts and all. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but, while this is about mixing, remember good tracking practices. Can't polish a turd. Cheers.

  • @cjoth
    @cjoth 2 роки тому

    @ 30:45 the reason u can hear difference even tho it's not showing on analyzer is bc the levels are set a little low on drums during gain staging. if you go to far left of EQ & click any of the numbers (0-60), & drag up, u'll be able to see the Analyzer below -60dB & make your adjustments accordingly. great video btw! demonstrated a lot of things, like around the Noise Gate & Expander section.. basically, this video is everything i needed to know in terms of Logic Pro X plugins.. all other tutorials around the internet are just bonuses hahahaha

    im a little confused on when you mentioned gain staging in the very beginning, you said the sweet spot is -18 but most tracks were going well over -18 once you actually started gain staging? im sure im missing something but if you could elaborate what that means then i would appreciate it, thanks!

      @djelbert23 4 роки тому +1

      The sweet spot is -18db to -6db. (bouncing in between) Aim to make sure nothing goes over -6db before the final mixdown, that gives you headroom to boost if you need to, without clipping. I literally just learned this in School For Audio Production.
