Hmmmm. I don't get it. If the mix aint right then yes using stems can definitely help. But isn't that what the mix engineer is there for ? Accepting or Sending out a mix that one does not approve is also not right. Mastering is not supposed to fix mix issues. Fix the mix first before anything I would suggest.
It can be right, but just needs that professional touch. Last 10%. So instead of remixing everything you can just add on top with Stem Mastering.
My old engineer says he never heard of it or no clue what it is lol. But 💯 your right, I'd prefere the demo alot of times more than the mix master he done. I'd semi mix my self and even send him a reference and nothing come back how I would ask. I was like it's on the reference track and tracks semi mixed already just neaten it up for me lol 🤦♂️ he sacked, he sooks about everything 🤣
Great tips! It's always good to brush up on the basics of mixing. Thanks for sharing!
Great vid
man, everything in here is extremely valuable for me as a first timer. Thanks!
Glad to be helpful:)
Excellent advice gained from a hybrid study, practice, experience viewpoint and most definitely not learned in a day. TBO my take home is leave it to the experts.

I completely understand wha you're saying . Im a full time electrician and alot of people can do electrical work. I would trust someone that does their craft for a living with experience in ther field. When people dont have the time, knowledge, experience etc , its a rational decision to pay for services. RUclips and the internet in general allow information for DIY but there is a difference between skilled and unskilled work
😊🙌
If music is your career it makes sense to take this advice. If you are not getting any return of investment from you music and/or you make music for fun i suggest buying sonarworks for headphone calibration and ADPTR METRIC A/B reference plugin (it will humble you to make better mixes/masters). Sonaworks then ADPTR METRIC A/B on the last plugins on master bus .Disable both plugins when bouncing/rendering to wav/mp3 Have
In my experience, this is wrong due to the fact that not all music works the same. If you're making super commercial stuff like pop then maybe yeah it would be good to go like that, but stuff like Rap or genres that have a lot of textures and sometimes ''dirtyness' to its sound require a certain approach in order to get to the point you would like to and that is something that a ''pro'' overlooks a lot of the times (again, at least in my experience) I would say that getting to know a ''pro'' and working along with them until they understand the sound you would like to have is the actual stuff that could boost your music. Also, if you're making very little money from your music, spending a lot on a mix is not really the best way to handle your $$$ unless you really have a complete distribution plan for your release, which is something most people doesn't understand until later on their careers.
You’re absolutely right that different genres and styles can demand very specific approaches, and not all professionals will immediately understand the nuances or “dirtyness” that some genres, like Rap or experimental music, thrive on. Building a relationship with a mix engineer and ensuring they understand your vision is crucial. It’s not just about hiring someone but collaborating with them to align their technical expertise with your creative direction. The video’s focus is more on the general advantages of working with a pro, but I completely agree that the best results come when there’s strong communication and a shared understanding of your sound. A great mix engineer isn’t just executing technical tasks; they’re listening to your vision and adapting to the unique requirements of your music. As for the financial aspect, that’s another valid point. Investing in professional mixing and mastering is a big decision and should ideally align with a solid release strategy or budget. For artists starting out or those with limited funds, it might make sense to learn the basics or work with someone more affordable to build that understanding over time. Ultimately, the goal is to find a balance between creativity, budget, and collaboration. Thanks for shedding light on these important considerations! 😊
this is bullshit. if you want to learn it and do it yourself, you can. if you don't feel like it, spend the money
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your perspective. You’re absolutely right that if someone is passionate about learning mixing and mastering, they can absolutely do it themselves-it’s a great skill to have. The point of this video, though, is to highlight the advantages of working with a professional, especially when time, resources, and career growth are considered. Learning mixing and mastering to an industry-standard level takes thousands of hours and a lot of trial and error. For many artists, focusing on their core strengths-like songwriting, performing, and networking-makes more sense than spending that time learning every technical aspect of production. Hiring a pro isn’t just about convenience; it’s about leveraging their expertise to achieve superior results in less time. Plus, professionals often bring valuable insights, trends, and networking opportunities that can be a huge boost to an artist’s career. Of course, if you have the time, passion, and determination to master mixing yourself, that’s awesome! But for those who prefer to focus their energy elsewhere, delegating to a pro can be a game-changer. Ultimately, it’s about what works best for each individual. 😊
@MajorMixing you don't understand where you made the mistake. My first comment might have been a bit strong worded, but the thing is that you adress this video to absolutely everybody making it sound like you don't want people to learn mixing so you can get more jobs. Mention the people that want to do it and aknowledge that it is just as viable of an option especially for begining musicians or younger people that do not have the resources to hire professional engineers. Your video sounds really out of touch because you just assume everybody has 3000$ laying around to pay yearly for mixing professionals, which absolutely not the case, especially for people from other countries like myself. Just to put it in perspective for you, $3000 is about 15.000 of my currency. If you want to make this video strictly for the US, mention it, if not, take it into considerstion that not everybody has the resources to get these services and when you talk about it so carelessly and make it sound like such a normality, it stings to me because it makes it sound like the work i put into this is worthless
@bogdanlivezeanu3585 This isn’t about devaluing DIY efforts-it’s about showing how delegating tasks, like mixing and mastering, can help artists transition from a DIY model to a business model. DIY is great for starting out, but if you want to boost your career and scale your impact, you need to focus on what you do best and let professionals handle the rest. Look at major artists-do you see Taylor Swift recording her music, mixing it, shooting her videos, and doing her own promotion? Of course not. She delegates because that’s how you level up in any industry. The video isn’t suggesting everyone has $3000 lying around, but it’s important to understand the concept of leveraging effort and investing in your career when you’re ready. DIY can be a trap if you don’t evolve from it. Many talented artists get stuck at a low level because they try to do everything themselves instead of focusing on growing their craft and their business. That’s the bigger picture this video aims to address.
Man, I've spent like 3k on mix&master and in the 5 tracks I've remotely commissioned engineers I've always had to spit blood myself to make things sound right, many professionals are ungrateful and don't have the value of money in mind, working superficially. This is just my experience!
This has been my fear. I’ve been mixing my own stuff for 20 years and I’d like to offload that work to someone else, but I’m afraid I’ll just get back something worse than what I would’ve done for myself.
Thanks for sharing your experience-what you’ve described sounds really frustrating, and I completely understand where you’re coming from. Spending that kind of money and still having to push hard to get the results you want is disappointing, to say the least. Unfortunately, not all professionals approach their work with the care and dedication it deserves, and that’s a big issue in the industry. One of the key points we wanted to emphasize in this video is the importance of finding the right professional. It’s not just about technical skill but also about their ability to communicate, understand your vision, and collaborate with you. A great mix engineer should value your input, respect your budget, and be genuinely invested in making your music the best it can be. That’s why I always recommend doing some groundwork before hiring someone-listening to their portfolio, having a conversation about your goals, and even starting with one smaller project to gauge how they work. It’s not always easy, but finding someone who truly values your project and delivers quality work makes a huge difference. Your experience highlights why trust and collaboration are so important in these relationships. I hope your future projects bring you better outcomes and more satisfying experiences with the professionals you work with. 😊
@@justin555666 After 20 years of mixing your own work, you undoubtedly have a deep understanding of your sound and what you want to achieve, which can make it nerve-wracking to hand that over to someone else. The key to overcoming this is finding the right mix engineer who not only has the technical skills but also takes the time to understand your vision. A good engineer will treat your project as a collaboration, asking questions, listening to your feedback, and fine-tuning the mix until you’re fully satisfied. It’s not just about them “taking over” but working with you to enhance what you’ve already built. You might consider starting small-sending one track to a mix engineer to test the waters before committing to a bigger project. Or you can simply try Stem Mastering option. Outsourcing mixing can be a big step, but when you find the right person, it can free up your time and give your music a fresh perspective without compromising the quality you’ve worked so hard to achieve. I hope you find someone who can meet and exceed your expectations! 😊
@@MajorMixing those are some good insights. Thanks! It’d be nice to find someone to work with so I can stick to my strengths.
All these rules lol
Just one thing that wasn’t mentioned is some of these points are related to specific genres. For example ambient electronica, Lofi call it what you will frequently uses heavily processed sounds in the production stage, listen to Tycho, Green, guitars are echoing all over the place, Lofi as the name implies deliberately uses or processes the sounds to sound low quality, not every likes it but I do, I agree with the bass tips definitely, a lot of the amateur electronic music producers frequently overdo the bass, I suspect they don’t have monitoring equipment that goes that low I have the most expensive Audio Technica monitoring headphones (ATH-M70x) and their frequency range is insane (5 to 40,000 Hz) and when you overdo the bass it really messes with subwoofers also, may sound ok on monitors at 40 Hz but below that it becomes a mess, trap bass mixes are often guilty of that, but then again their market is aimed at the sort of consumer that has 4 12 inch subwoofers in the boot of their car where they can’t even run their aircon because they need the windows open otherwise their ears will bleed from the pressure wave but thanks for the advice haven’t got to mixing much yet, I don’t seek validation for my ideas and can entertain myself forever doing it in my head but I guess I will get around to it at some point so thanks for taking the time to teach this is the best part of RUclips I just subbed, (note I discovered a setting in the RUclips app that allows comments to be deleted if they attempt to tag you, as I use this particular account for other purposes I flicked that switch and I never read replies ever but I will find you on my other account which I am training the algorithm to only show artistic related content.)

It’s corporate guys like you is why we have country music mixed in with everything! Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Just stop with the country bullshit already!
Great tips! It's always helpful to learn what to avoid in the studio. Thanks for sharing!
@@mpt_house_news Our pleasure 😊
What part of music is subjective don’t people understand…. All the greatest songs, albums did the opposite of what the industry told artists to do. Berry Gordy loved mistakes in the music, you just have to make everything sound intentional… there is no right or wrong.😂
This bass layering advise/side chaining is only good for dance music, even if it sounds good side chaining instead of managing the sounds will make the listener sick from the pumping.
You can adjust sidechain so precise so there will be no pumping at all😊
Some of these mistakes need more elaboration imo. Not a terrible video. 1,5,6,7,10 are def more along the possible mistake lines than others.
Thank you. I learned a lot. My mixes were muddy due to the same frequencies. You explained it well. I'll see u at the top
We glad to be helpful:)
so many good tips! thank you
Our pleasure😊
great overview.
Can adm file upload to youtube?
No, the ADM file is only for Apple Music. We provide 2 masters for our clients. Regular master and ADM.
@ can combine dolby mix with ADM and upload to apple?
@@Prod-m8h Yes:)
@@MajorMixing ok thank you for information :)
#7 is honestly more or of a preference thing. Not all music require this element. The great J Dilla has a whole community in youtube where people extend his beats for 15 minutes 😂
@Kitskadew what? The point is that people can enjoy music without constant variation... Music is art... 7 is not a "rule". Also you do realize that Dilla didn't made the beats 15 minutes himself? It's the FANS of the music that extended many of those pieces. Dilla isn't the only artist to have extended music on RUclips either. There are several others. You are the type of guy who thinks every single song has to have the same generic song format to be "good"
Solid advice, great points. But I have one suggestion for future videos. ... It's not pronounced "ack-um-PAIN-ment". The word is pronounced "ac-COM-pa-nee-ment."
Thanks for pointing that out! I'll make sure to correct the pronunciation in future videos.
There are many videos available on this subject, and almost all of them at amateur level. This presentation is excellent, which I think will be best appreciated by the more experienced technicians.
Thank You for your comment! Glad you liked it! :)
You just gave me an idea for a plugin... A graphical EQ / Waterfall display that overlays several tracks on the same graph, but colorizes them separately. That way you can see each individual track's sonic content on one graph at the same time...
You can setup FabFilter ProQ to do this thing:)

Straight forward. Helps producers and the wonderful engineers they work with (who usually know more than the producers and don't always have time or interest in guiding producers past these issues). If you find a good mentor or engineer do your best to learn to make the most of their time and friendship.
Great thoughts!
good knowledge but not sure i follow drum loops part, so what do you recommend
Never use loops unless it sounds 100% perfect. In other cases use one shots for each drum and maybe some loops for percussion.
Straight to the point,no bullshitting,great advices,no ads. Thanks man,earned a follower!
Glad to hear it:) ♥️
One of the most helpful tutorial I've seen so far...thanks a lot brother❤❤🎉
So glad you like it!:)
I found mixing much easier to understand once I knew about frequency masking. Put simply: when multiple instruments are playing, at any specific frequency range you can only hear the instrument that is loudest at that frequency. So you have to decide which instrument can be heard at which frequency. And when you have instruments "pop out" at different frequencies, the listener's brain will fill in the gap between them.
You got it! Very well explained!
you could also use a dynamic eq. or ducking some freq. example ducking a delay or a reverb track
Contrary to tip # 1, I just recently watched an interview with Dan Lancaster & Bring Me The Horizon where they said they layer synth bass (in addition to a bass guitar) literally everywhere. Tried it and it actually works great. So yeah, just gotta use your own ears.
I'm sure they're either filtering the original bass, use a lower octave, or ensuring that every note is in phase (which is possible and something many people do). However, in 99% of cases, this approach ends up hurting the sound for many people, and it's generally better to avoid it.
Nice name of the band by the way😊🙌
Thank you🙏 very helpful and very true

mistake 9.."proffesional monitoring" You can have the best krk or pioneer speakers but is topic is more about room acoustic. knowing you will lose bass freq. in a untreated room. Swits to headphones while eq and ajust the volume of the low-end.

Thanks mate yours was the most straightforward tutorial on this 🙏
I think this is a great explanation of Atmos mastering advantages and limitations. Even though this video is a year old as of my comment I don’t believe we made any great changes.

Thank You for your comment!:)
Thats the most inaccurate explanation ever apple digital master requirements is at least 24bit and 44.1khz which means they have to be lossless and AAC is a lossy format you should,ve said ALAC
Hey! Our studio has Apple Digital Masters certification done by Apple. Our explanation is correct. Apple Digital Masters and Lossless is different things.
I disagree with this whole collection of logic. they can be 2 different environments and 2 different ways of outputting art. I think the more Atmos sounds just like a stereo mix but with the usual "reverb" or space in the rear, instead of a truly immersive mix. If I sent you a mix to master and you changed my mix or panning to your taste or style. why's the point of me existing? You would never touch someone's stereo mix and I would only send a 2 track to you. If you're mastering my Atmos, I'm sending the ADM, not my sessions.....
If it’s going to be very different from a stereo mix, then it’s a different song it should be released as such. Every Atmos makes needs stereo companion, and they need to essentially be the same song. It’s not really about creativity in this context. Unfortunately, I do not know of a format where you can only listen to a creative Atmos mix and not have a stereo companion.
Damn your handsome
Doing this you are not bouncing the processed signal
Extremely helpful advice, thank you so much!
I start my Atmos post production by turning my synths off.
short and sweet, bro got a nice voice
