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 stageā€¦



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

Deserves a bump up

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 etcā€¦ Please explain equivalent in Live (or Logic! :wink: :slight_smile: )

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

heres what you should doā€¦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, itā€™s like sidechaining, risers and other things on Sonic, WE know that, but others donā€™t. Besides, iā€™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 iā€™d learn some great things from it.



Besides if professional mixing was really as easy as youā€™re making out then many mixing engineers would be out of a jobā€¦

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 onā€¦
