We’ll see how people like this video, maybe it’ll become a regular thing! :) make sure to follow me on Instagram @bigacreations so you don’t miss these in the future
I'm new here. And i can already conclude you are amazing! You're clear and straight forward, easy to follow and sounding great to listen to! I'll definitely be checkin' your channel out when I'm in the mood to learn more. Thank you a lot! It really helps!✌❤
I usually just use my C4 Multi Band-Comp for Increase some thickness or remove some unnecessary low frequency or breath,l mean I only use it for specific range,so I always bypass other bands,just want to know what particular reasons you need all the bands?
I was trying to go along with you but I had to make up something for your compression settings because I don't have that compressor. I have no idea what I'm doing I'm going to have to learn this stuff for my music. Then I listened to my vocals and they were weirdly statically so I just stopped trying to go along and deleted everything I followed along to. Hopefully one day I can mix my music! Thanks for the video.
Hello Valentina, so you've first mixed the music down to a stereo pair then added the vocals to another 4/5 tracks? Not a bad Idea. I had a project with 38 instrument tracks and decided to mix it all down to a stereo pair. I then opened a new project and imported the instrument mix into it. Once that was done I did all the vocals. I did have to remix the the stereo mix a few times to make some small changes to the instrument track. I actually worked out great! PS...you have a great voice.
Very interesting, especially also the thing with the high end vocal, but also the rest. 👍🏻 I‘ve got these Waves plugins, H-Delay, H-Reverb, and the others (Horizon Bundle). Do you also mix for others and how much would mixing a song cost?
I found your channel recently and I really enjoy your videos and your style of teaching. It’s straight forward, so informative and easy to understand. I genuinely learn something new every video or how to do something better than what I was doing before, so thank you for such great content! It would be amazing to have something mixed by you, is there another way we can submit things if we don’t have instagram?
Genial como siempre Valentina .\ si algún día quieres dar un tutorial para castellano hablantes seria genial /. Porque hay demasiados en inglés ... enhorabuena y gran trabajo
Great song, the artist did an awesome job with it. Shame he sent you a RUclips beat though with the watermarks from the beat maker still lodged into the mp3. Hopefully he purchased it at some point. Not having the stems to the beat really binds the producer's hands, however you still made it sound amazing. Loving your content, hope to see you on the charts one day girl!
About 8:16 in, you mention an mp3 file is being mixed. Wouldn't you use a WAV file instead? Very good tutorial otherwise as this helps boost my confidence for future practice.
Imagine you are mixing a song of 40+ tracks and start renaming all those tracks. Duh... right? So it is the best Tip for a person to rename by himself/herself all the tracks before giving to the engineer.
A bus is a way to send audio from one track to an aux track. So instead of adding a reverb to multiple vocal tracks you can just send them through bus 1 to 1 instance of reverb. So can adjust the send amount to taste from there. Saves a lot of cpu usage
Just think of bus tracks like a real bus. Everyone on that bus is going to the same place instead of everyone driving their own cars hogging up the parking lot (CPU). You have the Reverb bus, delay bus, background vocal mix bus etc. It streamlines the heck out of your mixing time as well
@@THELAP Hi, thnx. I get that. The question though is whether when in the actual recording process, you have the chain enabled or do you prefer to record without the plugins enabled and add them to enhance your raw vocal take after the fact? Thnx!
@@paulcasanova9340 idk if it’s too late for the info but to answer your question , yes you can record thru your vocal chain while you record , but if you feel like it’s too much going on or your experiencing delay while you record then just record Raw then enable the vocal chain when you’re done recording . Hope that helps
Why is there such a and delay between what you hear and what we hear? The VU's aren't matched to what we're hearing, there's a big delay between when you play and when we hear.
Hi, can you also change the gain of that 2 track instrumental using the gain on the inspector and reducing the wave form by multiple DB etc. or is that the wrong way to do it? Thnx
hi sis you're presentation is awesome, The only difference that matters here is this you're a girl..... ha ha ha and that's makes you better than others...... for me...
Please valentina you had a video that was just over an hour long that really was helping my mix but it seems you deleted it.. CAN YOU PLEASE REPOST IT OR SEND IT TO MY EMAIL?? Thank you!!
Honestly, I don't understand why so many rappers use mastered beat to record their vocals. It makes no professional sense. Why they don't use the mixed version without mastering like normal people. They really have to learn the basics of sound recording
It's not about your mix, sorry; but I really bored about this auto tune thing... All vocals sounds the same.. It was good when Cher was singing "Belive"... I really want to hear real vocals. I miss 80's...
Are you kidding me?????? What is this!!!! You didn’t even listen to the vocals before you started processing them you didn’t clean them up at all is this a joke????
Chill. She did. She stated in the video once compression is added everything is basically enhanced (breaths, pops, etc.) and for this video she's not going to edit it out (which the song was given to her basically unedited to begin with). She mentioned this twice in the video... to be sure to edit/clean up the tracks/vocals.
@@NielleOfficial These type of videos are insulting to true engineer’s. That’s why her fan base went from 70k- to 1k hell of a difference. Don’t just sit here pretending to make a beat.

Hit that like button if you want to see this become a series! Also, let me know in the comments if you have any other requests :)
Muy buen vid 😉👍🏻
did you get my song
I watched in entirety. I usually have to skip ahead but she has so much golden info.
If there are more episodes of this in the future, I would love to submit one of my songs!!!
We’ll see how people like this video, maybe it’ll become a regular thing! :) make sure to follow me on Instagram @bigacreations so you don’t miss these in the future
Yes! Been waiting for this vid! Thanks for the upload! Much love from Toronto
Glad I could help! Hopefully I can visit Toronto some time in the future!
Wow. The impact you had here on the sound of that song is incredible! Really impressive. Well done :-)
Thank you this video was very helpful!
Wow this a long but amazing.
My friend’s in school would be sleeping but I would just be watching and watching.
Who ever this artist is is dope and the mix is crazyy🔥🔥
Valentina! GREAT VIDEO! You are so talented. Thank you for all inspiration!
Oh girl the way you move to that beat is just artistically beau.
Thank you for sharing all of this! You’re amazing! Learning a lot from you, plus extra inspiration 😎
Y'all are so talented omg!! 😍
Awesome video Valentina.
Valentina!!! Qué buen video! Im struggling to get good mixes and this one helped me a lot. Ahora pondré manos a la obra. Gracias!
Nice. I think the delay that was on the chorus originally should have been added back in to fill the gap.
so much knowledge shared for free! thank you very much!
Been w8tin for this 4eva... Thx
You’re welcome :)
Sounds great. I would maybe put a spreader as well add more stereo
Thanks a lot, Valentina. I learned a lot from your videos! Your mixing is MAGIC!
That fire
Great job Valentina
Thanks for your effort - informative video. I would love it when the next one is more instrumental mixing based.
Great work 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

You crushed that mix. The bass sits so well.
omg so amazing!!!!!
Tight track

This channel is awesome glad I came across it!
Processing in isolation i didnt think it would fit but it does.
Hi. Miss V. So much knowledge, so helpful! Then, the knowledge yields great sound. Such a pleasant experience. Nice track, as well. Thanks.
Thanks!
You’re welcome :)
Wooo! Killed it!
I’m learning so much thank you
This video was very helpful. Please post more like his whenever you can
Thank You !
This is a really nice idea for a series. One point though - you can't tell the difference between examples if you don't gain match.

Siempre la mejor Valentina!!! Quisiera saber cual es la configuracion de tu imac, el año y si te actualizaste a Big Sur. SALUDOS
That song is dop 🔥🔥🔥
sounds great
Nice
this is sick!
Greatness
Loved the vid! What did you mean by "two track" when you were talking about compressing the beat?
The beat itself was a track and the vocals, she didn’t have the stems for the beat so she was explaining that she compresses the beat
Very interesting, especially also the thing with the high end vocal, but also the rest. 👍🏻
I‘ve got these Waves plugins, H-Delay, H-Reverb, and the others (Horizon Bundle). Do you also mix for others and how much would mixing a song cost?

Que som maravilhoso..muito bom Valentina.

Does anyone know if the song is already out?
Hi, Valentina, do one video of mixing main vocal with only Waves Plugins, please.
When is this song coming out andnif its out where can i get it. Artist n song name
Thank you so much!!!🔥🔥
About 8:16 in, you mention an mp3 file is being mixed. Wouldn't you use a WAV file instead? Very good tutorial otherwise as this helps boost my confidence for future practice.
Hi Valentina! Please make a video of how to mix an acoustic guitar like your reggaeton song! 🙌🙏
Nice..
🙏🏾
Imagine you are mixing a song of 40+ tracks and start renaming all those tracks. Duh... right?
So it is the best Tip for a person to rename by himself/herself all the tracks before giving to the engineer.
hey Valentina, what camera are you using? Or am I missing it in your equipment used?
its in the description
Hey Valentina your content is exciting, so can you tell me where do you buy a computer desk? that's interesting too! Thank you :)
Okay time for me to really try and learn
I’ve been getting in to the more complex tools in logic, what does a bus do exactly?
A bus is a way to send audio from one track to an aux track. So instead of adding a reverb to multiple vocal tracks you can just send them through bus 1 to 1 instance of reverb. So can adjust the send amount to taste from there. Saves a lot of cpu usage
@@phinn9823 good explanation!

@@chefxlouieofficial thanks!
@@chefxlouieofficial also good explanation
eqing compressing dessing etc...with the vocal on solo ?? you need to hear the changes your doing with the beat
Shes not a pro mixer obviously
@L T All those inserts for one vocal channel really ? no way correct LOL waste of CPU
Where did you buy your desk 🤩 It's so nice 🔥
Do you record your lead vocals through your vocal chain or add the chain after-the-fact to enhance your dry takes? Thnx
If it’s in the plug-in chain, the vocal remains raw, so if the plugins are disabled it’ll just be a dry vocal
@@THELAP Hi, thnx. I get that. The question though is whether when in the actual recording process, you have the chain enabled or do you prefer to record without the plugins enabled and add them to enhance your raw vocal take after the fact? Thnx!
@@paulcasanova9340 idk if it’s too late for the info but to answer your question , yes you can record thru your vocal chain while you record , but if you feel like it’s too much going on or your experiencing delay while you record then just record Raw then enable the vocal chain when you’re done recording .

Hi, can you also change the gain of that 2 track instrumental using the gain on the inspector and reducing the wave form by multiple DB etc. or is that the wrong way to do it? Thnx
I thought dividing by 2 gave you smaller fractions? Like- 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc...
Thats a heck of a lot of plugs ins on there, is that really necessary?.
You are cool
Following you from Cape town, South Africa. Your a Legend. Have learnt Soo much. Is it possible for you to Produce, Mix and Master my tracks?
why is she using stereo plugins tho, she only effected one side with some of the plugins????
with what did this song was recorded?
what mic stand do you use?
I would like to do a duet together, I appreciate you for a long time and I like everything you do
Hello do know of any good mixing courses online I would suggest
I want to learn from you
hi sis you're presentation is awesome, The only difference that matters here is this you're a girl..... ha ha ha and that's makes you better than others...... for me...
I like your desk. Im building mine. I just need to order legs. I may make them.
Please valentina you had a video that was just over an hour long that really was helping my mix but it seems you deleted it.. CAN YOU PLEASE REPOST IT OR SEND IT TO MY EMAIL?? Thank you!!
WAIT AM I FIRST?!?!
🙏🏾

hello. i need kam vrij. from mij

Voice too thin
To much compression its no dynamics in the vocal
bam! i was looking for someone in the comments to say it lmao
Terrible advice being completely honest, 4 compressors on a vocal? 😂🤣 perfect example of someone with all the gear and no idea.
Are you kidding me?????? What is this!!!!
You didn’t even listen to the vocals before you started processing them you didn’t clean them up at all is this a joke????
Chill.
She did. She stated in the video once compression is added everything is basically enhanced (breaths, pops, etc.) and for this video she's not going to edit it out (which the song was given to her basically unedited to begin with).

These type of videos are insulting to true engineer’s.
That’s why her fan base went from 70k- to 1k hell of a difference. Don’t just sit here pretending to make a beat. If you are gifted with skill... show it don’t just program a pattern that’s wack.
Very insulting to true musicians.
Just keeping it real!
