@@InTheMixJoeCarrell , thank you for the video! I totally agree with what justinaswellmusic said, this feels a little like an apprentice watching you and I think this helps a lot! These types of videos are really good value. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you Joe, you blow my mind this is the very best afther years on my Adam A77 speakers, 4K screen close to see, i think did is the avid machines plugins good in size. your mixes are incredible amazing. from Brussels.
on top of being a fantastic engineer Joe is a wonderful human being. Had the chance to attend two of his master classes at warm audio recording studio in Leander Tx. It is amazing how fast and accurate he works in a real-world session. So much knowledge and freely gives it in a very humble way
This was very enjoyable. I will share this with my friend. I see well mix the same way. I'm looking forward to your next upload. Oh yeah, still Lol about your tight bottom joke. That was so funny 😂😅
Another good one from Carrell. Excellent sharing of thought process - and Showing of moves, settings, etc. Could definitely watch a longer, more in-depth tutorial of this kind; but what we're given is just enough to be satisfying - "digestible," as the man said (and useful, as the mix turns out quite well).
What I like about this is the intentionality of the WHY. And shown in a practical example. We can all do the, that solo instrument sounds like it should, then that one, then the next. But then you add them together and it sounds like a mess. Intentionality and context is everything. I want this to do this, if I have these out wide and bright it gives us this. Plus, having REALLY good sounding raw tracks is such a time saver.
Informative as ever Joe, thank you. A Bouzouki is a Greek instrument, with eight strings. Think of it as a 12 string guitar with the low E and A strings missing. And...it's tuned 1 whole step lower. so from low to high - C - F - A - D - . Fantastic instrument. I use it on tracks that are acoustic heavy and it's a nice counterpart or even alternative to a Nashville tuned acoustic.
Hi Joe, thanks for these tutorials! Could you do a tutorial about how you set your multiband vocal compressor - you've shown it in a few videos but we haven't seen how you tailor the settings to the vocal. Maybe on a couple of different vocals? Cheers!
Joe, you are my to go tutor, as your step by step explanations are easy to understand and replicate and what is more important all your tweaks are musical and meaningful. Every decision makes sense and improves the mix
Thank you Joe. This video came at exactly the right time. Even though I've been mixing for quite some time and nothing you showed was new or revolutionary, somehow it clicked on a different level and it helped me complete a mix I had been struggling with. It feels like I've taken a step forward in my journey. Thanks again for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.
thank you joe ! for saving my ass from running into mixing abyss labyrinth and overcomplicating things. your technique is really elegant-straight to the point. thanks for sharing your wisdom and knowledge in such a beautiful way. keep doing that please!
@@piggycity it’s just so quick and simple when I’m only wanting to lightly tap something. I know there’s technically better now, especially when getting heavy-handed. I should probably take time to reset that insert someday 😂 Thank you for watching!!
@@BengtSkogvall Glad to hear that! Unfortunately for this track I can’t give those out. I should try to work out some of those type agreements in the future. Good reminder
Awesome as always Joe. Always learn so much from watching you do your thang! QQ: Would you expect to be automating or ducking the keys once the vocals go in properly?
@@ian_palmer_muso automation is what separates the good makes a great mix in my opinion. Everything I do gets a substantial amount of automation! Thank you for watching 🎉
::: Hey Joe, I just wanted to say that I've been learning a lot from you. You're incredibly talented and a real inspiration to me. Thanks for everything. :::
Always learn so much from your videos. Thank you. What is that percussion element that comes in with the whoas and is hitting where the snare would be and sounds like a deeper echo-y clap?
@@bombshellmusic1004 you are very welcome. If I remember right, there is a snare sample, a couple claps, and maybe even a white noise type of burst. It varies from section to section.
I’m glad you mentioned that. I’ve been considering doing a series based around my template. The template is ever evolving, of course, but the idea would remain the same. And I would need to do a few different videos showing how I import the files and do the gain staging and choose between different flavors and such for various genres. It would be a large time commitment on my part, but nonetheless something I’ve been thinking about.
Hi Joe. Thanks for the great free content you're giving us here. It is truly appreciated. I have one question if you don't mind. I got your course from PMA "Mixing Kayley Bishop", awesome stuff. When mixing guitars you said that your Squisher 2 parallel compression AUX is "calibrated". And you mentioned the same for Mastering Compressor on the Drum and Bass Buss. What does this "calibrated" mean? Thanks a lot
@@belgradeboy1977 good morning! In my template, the subgroup and stereo bus compressors are “preset” As to when compression would kick in. When I mix, I try to be very consistent with how the levels are hitting the subgroups and the stereo bus. Much like we would have within analog. in fact, that’s the reasoning for it because when I work hybrid, I can patch in hardware compression and they are in their appropriate spot. A good tool for this is placing a signal generator plug-in and setting it to whatever your DW is calibrated to as analog zero. I keep mine set to -18 which is once again to interface well with analog inserts. So by putting the signal generator at -18 and dialing in the compressor to be sitting at one DB of compression, I would be in a sweet spot.
Hey, Joe! Gotta question: When working on the acoustic guitars, you mentioned that you wanted that to sound like he's right up front in your face. How do you go about making those decisions during a mix? I feel like i've heard that there is a standard location "protocol," but I feel like that would limit the mix? Is it feeling for you? Ref Tracks? Genuinely, curious. Thanks for the video!
@@MixingInActionStudios absolutely correct. I don’t go in with preconceived ideas with only one option for anything. I think you are on the right track, listening to the song and deciding how it feels and what we can do to make it feel even more of that. Whatever that is. Whether that’s bright and upfront, dark and distant, dry, heavy reverb, etc. It’s all on the table at the beginning of the mix.
@@marmotman I use a few folders. Mostly on really large track count things that I try to reduce the view on at times. Things like strings, brass, woodwinds especially. Very often I’m only making one pass of automation. That’s detailed to the track level on those items. Then throughout the rest of the mix It’s often only the level of the overall group up or down so it saves me a lot of unnecessary scrolling. But for everything else I’m usually making detailed automation moves all the way to the very end. So I would really never collapse or hide those tracks anyway
@@InTheMixJoeCarrell Firstly, thank you for taking the time to respond. And on a Sunday! Very much appreciated. And yes, that all makes perfect sense. I guess I prefer hiding everything away for the sake of session tidiness at the cost of constantly unfurling stuff when I need it! Thank you for your videos, in a sea of BS here on the Tube we're very lucky to have a genuine working pro like yourself imparting knowledge, tips and tricks. Cheers, Mark.
@@InTheMixJoeCarrell Sorry, English is not my native language. I'm trying to ask the question in a different way, I hope it will be clear. Could you create a video where you will show how to make a sound like in this song. All your instruments sound so divine... I am just in great delight. I write music for my band.. but it's a hobby, for me and my friends. and I can't mix the mix... I recently found out about your RUclips channel and your sound impresses me. I understand that the original recordings are very important, but maybe you can show the settings and chains of all the devices and tell a little about how you did it all.. thank you.
It is awesome that you and the artists you produce allow you to share your knowledge through their music.
