See title





+1





Or better still, I send you one of my tracks and you do a video on it being professionally mixed down :P:cool:





:smiley:

So no one wants any advanced tuts then I take it?

I Agree!!!

Would find this wayyyy more usefull than any how to sound like at this stage…



So yahhh would be good to have a think about i think!

yepp i think that would be really great!!

I just got back from a gig in a night club:.and tested some tracks I made before in the big sound system. I think the mix is okay . But I noticed a lot of poor eqing around 1k. I think is because of my studio speakers set up . Maybe having an basic accustic tutoriall with thehow to mix tutorial would be really helpfull

A Mixing Tut with Ableton Project with just theĀ Stems.

Then that way, we can all try the track ourselves & compare the results here on SA?

If you do use some 3rd party stuff - Comps etc… Please explain equivalent in Live (or Logic! :wink: :slight_smile: )

Great idea! Mixing is something that I’m starting to get to grips with … a ā€œhow toā€ tutorial on it would be the icing on my wannabe producer cake! :smiley:

heres what you should do…its not that hard, just takes practice. take a track you love and A/B it with yours. Start all your levels at 0 and move them up and compare them with the B track. The issue here is that mixdowns are very subjective. When I do my mixdowns, I always have a chain on my master bus for loudness so that I can hear what it will sound like after mastering. It gives it a good idea.

Yes, me and you know that, but others dont, it’s like sidechaining, risers and other things on Sonic, WE know that, but others don’t. Besides, i’m sure there is something that even me, you and others would pick up.

I suggest things because I think it would be good to add to the Sonic Training Videos, not always because I personally want them. Although in this instance, I would love to see what Sonic come up with in regards to mixing! I definitely think i’d learn some great things from it.



Besides if professional mixing was really as easy as you’re making out then many mixing engineers would be out of a job…

3d mixing is what i think you need to think of when you mixdown ,picture a box, up and down is pitch ,front to back is volume , left to right is panning !

try it it works ! :slight_smile:

this is what i learned on…
