Hi Alex, My problem is I bought unbalanced cables that rum from my monitors to Focusrite audio interface.. Then my interface is plugged into the back of my PC through a USB cable.. But when I turn everything on I can hear what sounds like computer processes through my speakers, when I not even playing sounds through my PC.. Do I just need balanced cables or is it a different problem..

This is probably the problem I have then. I'm going to buy some balanced tomorrow and see how it goes thank you

Alex have you or know a way to work on your mixes when you have bad Tinnitus ringing in the ears, like the test of the emergency broadcast system on top of finger nails scrapping down a blackboard 24/7?

Very well presented. Now I know why so many female singers today sound as though they are computer-generated!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial

THE WHISTLE GO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I'm from Denmark. I have learned the skill to hear a Canadian. LOL

IMO That`s an easy skill to acquire, althought real the mastering can be missleading because of the dynamic elements one has in the track, which may make u think like u need to boost 3k, when u need to lessen the peak at 6k for example

Honestly, I'm very much over high boost past 10k in vocals. It just doesn't sound natural to me and gets in the way of my high strings, symbols, shakers. One thing that really woke me up and improvement my mixes was hearing Jack Joseph Puig talking about the importance of the mid-range, and he specifically said for 600hz-4khz, because that's where the true heart and cry of a lot of instruments are. I also took Mix With The Masters and saw Chris Lord Alge do a lot of 2k and 4k boosts. Only 1db-3db, but they make a big difference. I usually do these kind of moves and little clearing up with low mids going into my compressors. Then after the compressors, I do like putting on a little saturation, but I usually end the chain with another Pro EQ 3. I don't boost or cut, but will put dynamic EQ bells between around 2k-7k, just to keep control of those harsh frequencies, incase they get too abrasive. I also often put another dynamic EQ bell between 200-500 just to control any mud. But I set the range on the dynamic EQ's to a maximum of 1.5db - that's all I need. Hope this helps some people. I find mixing vocals so so so much easy now with this mind set. I just don't boost above 10k on vocals any more, unless they recorded on a really awful mic! And obviously, there are exceptions. If the singer naturally has a lot of harsh 4k, it better to leave it or cut a few db. Trust your ears.

Great video 💥

Thank you for sharing this what a great video! Just subscribed

nice video man, love how you emphasize, for sure for the presence to high range, that it's all to it's context and situation, this is very valuable info for those starting with the music production process, lots of tuto's on youtube that only say presence to high range fequencies and resonances bad and you need to cut all of them

Wow nice, this is really helpful to understand how the frequencys Sounds like. When I recorded clarinet, I had a lot oft Air in the tone and lower from 3k everything down, the Noise was away. But I am a Little Bit afraid, that I cut the overtones of the clarinet away.

loved this demonstration, a little ask however. could you please write in the freq ranges in the chapter markers, i think it could be a huge help for viewers while watching. either way great vid!

Great great vid. Wish I had this when I started.

slate tape is outdated af. t racks has better emulations. so does softube. and obviously uad. waves isnt good either.

Silly question: do they stand up on their own or do they tend to lean one way or another and then proceed to inevitably fall?

Sorry, very hard to watch the video with all that "wooshing" and jumpy editing, just in the intro. The BG music is okay, but all the woosh editing is ridiculous (and I was looking forward to watching the video because it sounds like it would be interesting content).

hey good tips man

Dude awesome video. I can’t believe you only have 8K subs. I honestly thought I was listening to a 100K plus channel. The tips you gave here are pro quality. I watch a lot of mixing videos and definitely understand all the concepts your explaining, but wow incredible for you to be the size you are for the quality you delivered not only in the info but the video as well.

Thanks dude! The whistling trick is priceless.. I feel like that tip alone can move mountains

Thanks this was really… ear opening

This is really helpful thank you

I just subscribed for your lessons

Cool it with the thumbnail graphics.

I experience two unusual quirks with pro tools, sometimes when I save a session under a different name to keep al my VI's intact for a new session (erase all midi and audio data on the new session) it oddly decides to start the song either a few hundred PPQ's ahead or a bar or two ahead plus some PPQ's and nothing I seem to do can fix this anomaly. The other is occasionally in a song with some audio and midi runny some say 60 to 80 bars, I find that I cannot scroll past bar 24 , 30 or past 40 (it differs on each PTX) and I never why I can't If I let it play past the last position I can scroll, it will pass that mark, very odd, usually by clicking all over the place and different tracks I can get it to scroll past the impasse. Even if I say cannot scroll past 40 and I enter 50 or bar 60 into the transport it will not locate the play marker to those bars.

it seems that unbalanced cables are not for guitar as they produce a lot of hum

Dude! This is the single greatest EQ lesson on the internet. I've been mixing for ten years and this real world association technique is by far the best way I've ever heard it explained.

Just off the top of my head, a lawn mower in my mind has a similar fundamental as a muffled club, so I'd assume it's woofy at 200hz -300hz, I noticed I don't hear bass in my headphones so well when I am mowing my lawn too.

dope 🔥

I think of 300hz as talking to an empty plastic can of sour milk. 900hz is the plasticky tone of a vocal I had in a song in 1999 and battled with the EQ to make it less plasticky and piercing in the mix. 4khz is a bicycle bell ringing dinggggggg for me, and the protruding tone is easy to flag somewhere in that area and then think is it lower or higher in tone to get to more exact area. 😅

Among all my teachers and classes, no one gave us this example of how boxiness or muddiness sounds. This is EXCELLENT

I didn't see the slate plug-in you used.

He's my FAVORITE new Tutor,,,LOL. I had some assignments due for Berklee in Pro Tools using Melodyne and & I had very little experience using it. Alex answered several of my questions and fixed SEVERAL of my issues, all in the first five minutes.

awesome video

Nice job awesome video I think your breathy area is described better with sizzle and associate it with like a stick of dynamite wick being lit . Or bacon in a frying pan Most people doing videos drive me nuts because they say um, constantly, dude I don't think you said it once. I love the pro Q3 although I bought the Kirchoff last year thats pretty nice too I think it's a little more musical than the fab filter. The fab filter multiband compressor is on every one of my Vocal submixes. 99% of the time, I only record vocals and send them off. Another good descriptive word for the upper midrange is harch. Is subscribed and liked

Is it useful to use on single instrument channels?

it's basically the analog analogue that's analogous to the sampling frequency

Why the fuck would we need to know this? Just use what ever setting sounds better

Thank you for the explanation. Sorry I am totally new to Tape Sound. Do you use this at the end of or your mastering, to like you say 'imprint the tape sound' into your song? Kind regards

Even since I started mixing ITB in Cubase I've been looking for a good analog solution, and I've tried almost everything, but the Slate digital console and Virtual tape machines were ultimately the way to go for me. Don't think it really matters what eq you put over it, it's those two slate plugin that do the job. One day I'll go for a Tegeler or a B32 Vancouver hardware summing box, but for now the Slates are closest software emulations to what I was used working on SSLs and Studers.

Yay balanced cables thanks -PREXENTS

I learned to pinpoint frequencies by ear decades ago but now as I‘m growing older it shifts. What used to sound like 8k now is really 5k. That sucks big time.

Duuude!!! Fantastic!!! Will record my whistle soon, this is gold!
