For beginners like me, look up for: Gain Stage, Mid Side EQ, Mono Compatibility, Sidechain. Mix Kick and Bass and other... 😄. Thanks for this tutorial.
Hey man, I really feel the need to thank you, your videos are a great help and inspiration to me. Everything seems easy as you explain it. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ve got two questions: - what is the specific genre you produce called? - would you mind doing a video that shows what the characteristic elements of the major edm genres are? Again, kudos and much appreciation ❤
Thanks bro! Glad if you find value in what I do :) As for the genre idk, I just do what I like. I stopped thinking about genres at all. To be honest, not sure I'm interested in making this video. I'm not really interested in the industry. But maybe I'll make something similar soon :) Cheers
Solid video Vlad! Question: If you have multiple basses, would you take the processing logic a step further and apply the same kind of processing to each of the following levels? 1. Kick 2. Bass 1 3. Bass 2 4. Bass 3 5. BASS GROUP 6. Kick Bass Group
Really depends on the sounds you have, hard to tell. But generally I would do multiple stages of compression. Starting from individual channel like kick bass and then group processing. Anyway, when you do process your sounds make sure you listen and compare before/after
I always get anxious when reaching for a compressor when tackling the low-end. Do you have safe initial settings for a compressor, in which you further adjust based on the individual track? Great video btw!
For sub I used fast attack fast release usually. I wouldn't worry to much about overcompressing it. Even if you play It in the club and you feel you lack a bit of bass it's better than having too much from my experience haha.
Maybe to some of you it sounds like a stupid question, and thats okay, but what Im wondering is: Why would you variate your MIDI volumes first (softer notes and louder notes) and afterwards compress the shit out of it? I know dynamics are important, but consistency in your bass is as well. So why not immediately have a consistent volume in your bass notes?
you can do a lot of stuff with velocity like filter automation, volume automation and more. and to answer your question - if you have no variation in your bass volume it sounds too static. You can try it yourself. take analog synth like Diva and see how different velocity affects the dynamics and the overall sound of the bass. So even if you compress the bass it will be still printer in the audio. And again, different velocity from physics perspective helps the speaker to move back and forth resulting better dynamics
@@Fluxeon Thanks for the detailed reply! Ive accepted the concept of velocity differences and compressing it afterwards, only just don't really understand how the dynamics still retain after the heavy compression. Maybe thats something I need to learn by experience hahah Thanks again for the detailed explanation and I really do like your video's! Keep m going, I enjoy them all and learn a lot from you!
Nice tutorial and thanks for sharing, although you don't "need" to test your songs in a club to make them work, you just need a tonal balance tool and a reference track.
@@Fluxeon @Fluxeon I mean just the low end not the whole track. Experienced pro artists have these curves figured out already. Of course it's your job to make the music exciting not just tonally, that part do needs to be tested with audience IMHO.
it depends. The main point of the video was that you need to control you low frequencies. Test your music in a club and that will give you feedback. At the end of the day it's also a stylistic choice how much you want to compress your low end. Cheers

possibly one of the best videos I've seen! You got my sub :D

glad it helped bro :)
This is serious info thx will focus on these ones.

thanks for the feedback :)
well how do you know you balance works in a club without testing a club just with reference tracks?

Hey Bro love this video ! Check your inbox in the meantime 🤙🏽
hey broski thanks for the feedback! Where did you send me the message? I'll check it now
@@Fluxeon found the email in your community section
@@DJO2N aaah i see bro I will respond thanks! :)
Would you say you still need to do this if you pick the right samples that work good and sound, fat and punchy?
it depends. The main point of the video was that you need to control you low frequencies. Test your music in a club and that will give you feedback. At the end of the day it's also a stylistic choice how much you want to compress your low end. Cheers
