Today I am showing you a simple strategy to get a balanced mix. This is going to help make the process much easier so you can mixdown like a pro producers. I'm using Ableton Live, but all of these techniques and principles are applicable to Logic, Cubase, Reason, FL Studio, Studio One, Bitwig and all other popular DAW's.

Tremendous work, mate! Thank you for sharing this gold with public.
My pleasure!
This channel is so helpful, thank you so much for putting out this content 🙏
Welcome mate ✌️
👌🏽💯😁 looking forward 👍🏽
I should pay more attention to whatever I add after ending my kick design so that I follow this working order of things and make sure to only add the next element when the previous sits right. It will make things easier to fine-tune my volumes in the end. Thanks, man!
most helpful channel for producing deep electronic music, thanks dilby for sharing your experience...love
You're welcome bro :)
Amazing dude! It's gold!
Glad you like it!
Super! Thank you
You're welcome mate ✌️
Very useful video cheers mate
You're welcome bro
YES DILBY!!!! Great video again. I think we all want a Dilby remix compition soon :)
Haha, let's see. We are still growing here in the RUclips community. I'm super thankful of everyone who supports the channel, but I think for a label to get behind a remix competition we need a few more months. But in the future, 💪
@@dilbydj I hear ya!!! Well you got some strong content on here, so I'm sure you will grow pretty fast ✌🏽
Your drums sound great this shuffle is what mine lack also where is the bass from ? I could do with a solid bass vst for house
You can get a great bass from literally any synth. In most of my videos I'm using stock Ableton instruments and effects.
Yay!!
Great Video. Thanks for sharing this with us Dilby!
you're welcome bro
So simple, but made an improvement to my mix down. Thank you!
Great! Things don't need to be complex to work well ;)
Thanks for sharing
✌️
No problem
Great content, thank you for sharing!
Cheers ✌️

I have to get my mixes more balanced
Although this video was recorded 2 years ago, I am curious to know if you pre-eq'd the individual instruments and now you are just presenting a mix tutorial or were you eqing during the making of the video and then edited out the eq parts where you for example adjust low/high end, dynamics? When I am creating a track, I am making eq adjustments during the creation and then when I have the essential parts of the track I do a more intense eq and add needed compression and then when I have all the parts in place, I begin a final mix knowing there will be iterations. I am aware that every song and everyone's process is different but my main curious point is when and where you do your eqing?
Really nice tipps! Do you that before the arrangement or after?
Hey brother, always after. I just felt it was easier to demonstrate this way. In a full arrangement there is a dynamic aspect over time which makes mixing more complicated.
Rhe mindset goes, why invest time mixing a loop that might not be good one arranged. Better to arrange and then put in the work on a more complete track.
The track from the background is really good.
ID?

Hi Dilby, this video and the previous one helped me a lot. Now in the end the song is still al lot quieter then other when I want to play it out. You suggest limiting and glue compression on the master to to fix this?
I'm going to do a video on this mate. I might bring it forward to next week.
The answer is yes, limiting, but you need to do it in a particular way so that you know you are at the right level.
@@dilbydj thank you in advance. I now put it my mix on UNdergroud Kollektiv of this afternoon just turning the volume up and it was not bad (not perfect). 🙈
What’s the ideal decibel level to aim for the entire mix of a track -6/-3 before mastering?
Yeah,, that's good. If you're working in the box it's not such a problem as long as you're not clipping. If you're using analogue, like a mixing desk for example, you need to have everything at an adequate volume otherwise you'll encounter the problem of having a high noise floor relative to the song you're working on.
Can you explain The balance tecnique? Is there a video about it?
Ps i really enjoyed tris vid!! ☺️
I explain it at 07:06 in the video 😉
I noticed that you already have spatial effects set up such as delays and reverb as inserts. At which point in the process do you set these up? I find this tricky as it's a combination of a creative mindset and a mixing mindset. Furthermore, what sounds good in solo might not sound good in the mix, the reverb on a lead element for example. Some planning is required in your approach
I have a Template with these already in place. I have a combination of very standard fx (eg 8th note ping pong delay) and some much more complex ones which help create my "signature sound"
@@dilbydj Thanks for getting back to me :) interesting! Do you find you tweak the settings on these much? And what was the process of finding the right preset settings?
@@djvoid1 I don't tweak the settings at all really. Sometimes I might automate something if there is an effect I want in the track. I also might add an extra send for a particular song I'm working on. If I find myself doing the same thing frequently I will add it to the template.
Finding the settings was trial and error based on the things I use frequently.
The main point is, it's a massive waste of time to do the same things over and over in every project, so anything you can add to a template, do it.
you don't do your mix in mono ?
No, I constantly check it in mono, but I don't mix in mono. I have a mono switch on my interface, but if you don't you can just use a utility set to mono on the end of your master chain and turn on and off to check. A good idea Woukd be to assign a key on your keyboard so you can toggle it on and off.
Why not use rms or
LUFS instead of peak?
I find this way to work and it's simple. At the end of the day, it's not a guaranteed formula for a perfect mix, it's a rough starting point that gets you in the ballpark as a starting point. I would find it pretty confusing trying to use LUFs for this but if you have a video on how to do that I'd be interested to watch.
@@dilbydj I was just wondering because peak would work for drums but RMS or LUFS makes more sense for tones.
Still don't understand why you are using +7 db on Master...you sad before that your kick at -11 db, so that's enough to understand - i saw in another video that kick must be -6, -7. For starting point - but i will try your metod with reference - and isolate kick from "Ocean Drive" - it 's - 3
Dude, I literally explained it to you on your other comment on my kick and bass video. The numbers are not as import as the reason behind it. To avoid clipping and create headroom.
I use this method and it works for me. I am happy with my mixes and so are my clients and fans of my music.
You don't have to agree with what I am recommending. You are entitled to do things your way and you should use whatever techniques you like in your music, that's up to you.
Please refrain from spamming repetitive comments on a bunch of my videos. I won't be answering this question again.
