Chris, it's 20 hz to 20khz. Not "twenty thousand killohertz". Though my two dogs (both Great Danes) tend to agree with you. ; ) Nonetheless, I enjoy your contributions to ambient music, my friend.
Thanks for this, it's really helpful. My ambient tracks tended to suffer from mid range clutter. Then I stumbled on the fact that selective use of reverb and compression helps, but never really understood why. Now I do thanks to your explanation about frequency space and layers. 💚
As I've said several times in other places: mixing is about bringing all the elements together to form a cohesive whole. You therefore have two issues that you address: technical and creative. A lot of problems can be "solved" through levels and panning or even reevaluating the arrangement. And that's it =]
As an artist I see mixing just like painting, it is all about finding balance and space for each element to rest to create a full picture that is compositionally balanced both in line and tonal value, as with music. Line is level, tonal value is frequency.
Aah so thats what fabfilter eq was showing, the spikes! I was already wondering why i get this info lol. Also good to know that my worklow matches your demostration for the most part. It was al by feelings and my own common sense tough. At least i feel a bit more secure now haha
I always have a limiter on my main fader and I like to push it to the point where I'm not limiting anything. The moment I start to see it light up, I back off it just a bit.
Thanks a lot for sharing your insight into mixing with us. Much appreciated, Chris!! I always dread the mixing hence why I omit it completely. But the results are mediocre at best. I will try and see it as another way for me to express my creativity, like you said;) Thanks!
Good stuff, I started producing future bass with a lot of ambience on it and this really helps. Where do you get the free presets for Valhalla? Thanks!
im always making 2 eq directions in my fabfilter q3 , 1 is controlling mid and 2nd is for side. should I keep like thisin your opinion or doing stereo mode on equalizer is better idea?
good morning my friend :-))) yes we have same kind of workflow, yihaa, from min. 12.00 indeed sooooo important to give it some kind of movement in the storytelling. otherwise its getting to static and tiring for our ears. talk soon. many greets and special 2025 for u!!
Why would you put Valhalla on ambient sound? Would it be very hard to clean up the mix, if you do that? I would choose another reverb enhancer. Thank you

That means a lot to me. Thanks so much!
Another amazing tutorial...again. Glad I found your channel!
This is a kind of tutorial that I bookmark to refer to multiple times.
You are so right frequency and leveling 😮😮😮thanks miss ya

Chris, this was an eye opener. I feel I understand proper mixing for the first time ever. Tucking away with automated filters made my head go BOOOM!

Finally 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hi and thank you. I think that for the AMBIENT analysis, TDR Prism would be a good fit.
Thanks a lot !
Great video! Thank you. Do you have any rules for your stereo out track?
I always have a limiter on my main fader and I like to push it to the point where I'm not limiting anything. The moment I start to see it light up, I back off it just a bit.
Very good!

Well said! Keep it up and eventually it will become second nature.

I released a video just before this explaining why mid/side is also a great technique: ruclips.net/video/yNKODp5wp9E/видео.htmlsi=njeNQQ8aU-QAx3UE

has anybody ever noticed that his philtrum is off center? it's pretty jarring once you notice.
Teach me mix-meister.

Aww yeah
