    Before @2:27 - After @17:55. Big difference! And this is why I also mix hybrid through a console!

      You can click the red progress bar back and forth! The original sounds really thin compared to the final product.

    Cool. But I think you also should talking about the overall level balance before getting into EQ/Comp/etc. The raw stems were already pretty much balanced, although I think it would be worth pointing out, that simple volume control is most powerful mixing tool ever.

This is like basic standard abd i love you for this and i thank you!!!

    Nice job- agree with your logic that boost in the right places only with an EQ that can remain smooth (usually analog but rarely the right digital plug-in) works well. Also happy to see you understand driving the tape until it soft saturates and lightly compresses. Keep on keepin' on!

    Hi Wytse, just subscribed to your channel. Would be good to see your method for correcting the timing. Clip alignment is something that we all need to do, well, I know I do. Naturally, starting with the drums. The way I do that is by determining the BPM, then recording a click track on channel #1. If its 4/4 ,with the accent on the first beat of course. Giving a higher resolution to the click to 8ths or 16ths will help later. Then using the playhead, I can pause it at the relevant clips and nudge the clips into place using the click track waveform as my ruler. Its a bit time consuming when doing it manually like this, so a clip alignment tool such as ReVoice clip align would probably make that a breeze. Its important from a phase point of view as well as the timing, so a comb filter would help. But when you zoom in on the wave form you can see the peaks / valleys and where the phase problem is happening. Great channel and enjoying all your vids. Informative as well as hugely entertaining. 😂 Big thumbs up!

    Since you're working in Reaper for these mix fixes, would you consider doing a video comparison between Melodyne and Reatune for pitch correcting vocals? I'm really considering getting Melodyne, but haven't found any info suggesting that it's better than what I already have with Reatune. A real video comparison on the features between the two would let me know if it's worth it..

    The smile eq technique for the kick is great. Do you use similar techniques for other instruments? What are the hotspots frequencies in your opinion for instruments? You already described the 300-600Hz for warm sounding E-Guitars.
    Thanks and go on with your great work.

    Around 9:20, to make the kick punch a bit more in the mix, what idea brought you to equalizing it differently instead of raising the volume (or lowering the others)?

    Very cool video !
    Some things that could be improved tho' :
    - you left out the early stage, which is very important : getting your levels right between the tracks and also checking for phase/timing issues between the tracks !
    - sometimes your explanation of certain mixing moves is not very clear, shown too fast, etc...
    Otherwise : great job !

    • @djabthrash
      @djabthrash 6 лет назад

      Also : the unmixed track (just with the balanced levels) sounded great already ! It must be cool to work with something of that quality !

  • @simonbezek6382

  • @caspermaster-com

    Great, you know you have "Reainsert" Plugin So you can route a track in and out of analog path trough a plugin with ability to gainmatch etc!

    • @Whiteseastudio
      @Whiteseastudio  6 лет назад +1

      True, but I rather choose to route it to a new channel, this way I can record it for easy recall. Also, sometimes like to summ a lot of channels into 1 stereo bus. However, the Reainsert does have the benefit of gainmatch and latency compensation...

    "the ringing is not where you think it would be" - yes, it is. the fundamental note is not ringing, it's the fundamental note. it's always suspicious when there is a resonance directly above it.
    i think i'm not into this format a lot. it seems a bit superficial. you just eq and compress a bit to taste. we all do that. something like that timing correction feature you mentioned would have made it more exciting, even though longer as well
