1) bring up 808 under 0dB with some headroom 2) bring in clap not too loud or quiet but around the same as 808 3) bring in hats to taste, usually a little quieter than clap and 808 4) tuck percs in the background 5) make the kick a bit louder than 808 6) bring the melody in 7) put limiter on master fader, raise the gain until it sounds crushed then pull it right back, don’t go over 0dB
I see a lot of producers saying “WORK ON YOUR MIX!” and stuff like that ... man now I see it’s not all about that . I got a whole different vision about mixing but now it’s good :)
I learned from listening to Travis Scott's music that mixing isn't really that important as long as sound selection is good and the mix isn't stupid. It just doesn't have to be perfectly tweaked like most people make it seem

I'm really envious of the fact he can stay there in the studio doing music all day without any other thing to tink about. He got money and fame and all, no concern for the future, just livin life.
The grass always looks greener on the other side, until you get there and you realize the grass isn't quite as green as it appeared to be. I mean I'm sure he has people that manage a lot of the business side if things for him. But you gotta be on high alert for people trying to screw you when there's big money flying around like that. You also have the pressure from friends and relatives wanting handouts. People start to think you're way wealthier than you actually are, not understanding that a lot of the money you do make has to be reinvested and uncle sam is taking bigger cuts now because your income is higher. Those are just a few things. It's not as carefree as it appears on your phone when you're watching him. It's constant work and constant thinking about everything. when you're making big money like that one little mistake could cost you everything you have and then some. And all those people you looked out for probably won't be there to help pick you back up. Just some things to think about. There's a lot to be learned from seeing what happened to other artists and businessmen/women that fell off. We like to think that if we make it we'll never lose it. But that's quite often not the case. If you haven't watched it yet, and I mean anyone who reads my comment, I highly suggest checking out the recent interview Dame Ritter just did with Hopsin. It goes in depth on what happened with Funk Volume. Lots of valuable lessons to be learned. Good luck everyone! Make 2021 your year!🎶🤑

It's about time producers come together and stop hating on one another 4real...God Bless bruh!!!
this is pure truth, ppl overthink the mix too much. I used audacity and the effects that came with it to produce a song for my friend on soundcloud that has 130k plays and counting to this day (the mp3 on there is low quality too lol and ppl still f with it), dont let anyone tell you your mix isn’t perfect. you could sit there for days trying to make it perfect, but good enough will suffice. if it sounds good it is good
@Romeo ThePLUG ah yeah, unfortunately havent worked with real vocals yet but i think one should Always keep in mind that a beat (in Most Case) is meant to be Rapped over and that there should be enough rooms for artists. Have you worked with acapellas yet or do you Know where i can find some?
To everyone in this comment section, listen and learn his skills, but dont copy his STYLE. His unique style is what makes him such an amazing producer, not so much the skill (although he is a genius)
@Ireconic Beats people commenting shit like "DONT MIX CAUSE NOBODY CARES EITHER WAY HAHA ITS A BANGER" nah fam yall making doing music something banal af with no emotion just sitting on the pc thinking imma make just sum beats with no emotion u know?
@@hazmat8547 not saying that nick is dumb or sucks, i think hes a great beatmaker but in the comments they all try to copy without wanting to learn anything usefull about the craft
i clean my 808's or any other sounds using 4 eq's and a maximus....Just solo the sound in maximus U want to clean and then use eq. one by one....one eq. for low end one for mid and one for high...and the fouth one for overall sauce....i found this trick useful
Why are you even cleaning your 808’s with that many eq’s, let alone at all. If you make your own 808 then yea. But your 99% going to be using a 808 from a kit. And their already super compressed and effected.
After the mixing that the producer does, is there always a professional mastering engineer that masters the track. Like right now during the mixing process the 808 isnt wide and full for example and than when the song is released it is always wider and fuller.
Anyone have general mixing levels for how nick mira mixes his drums? Like where the 808 sits in comparison to the clap, and where the drums sit in comparison to the melody, etc.
This guy clearly knows his shit and has a long backround in producing and mixing BUT, this beat distorted and clippin AF, man :( Cant yall hear it or wtf?
yeah, everyone on the original stream kept saying that it sounded like shit, i was on the stream and the 808 was destroying my ears, and tbh properly mixing the beats is a game changer, that’s why producers like metro boomin are ALWAYS at the top.
yes! it's clippin AF - don't know why most people say: "ohhh yes!! it's so helpful thx nick!". honestly: I feelin like I wasted my time. I learned literally nothing... lol
yh i get what you mean but keep in mind nick mira has been making beats for a long ass time my dude has platinum records under his belt. He definitely knows its clipping maybe he has a style
@@suxgegaming he may have plats but it don’t mean the sound quality is high fidelity(in terms of digital clipping). A lot of the trap producers like clipping the beats cause it “sounds better” cause it’s louder when they throw the limiter on it, and therefore the beats stays at 0 db; it’s not always that linear when you send the beat to a mastering or mixing engineer tho. He does mention that he has to turn down the beats in protools tho and he has a point, go by the ears, you don’t even need to see the dbs meter to set the volume right (unless it’s clipping). To add to that, trap drums are set in certain areas on the sonic spectrum so that it’s easier to mix because the kick is low, the hat is high, the percs and snare are mids. It’s least common denominator drums because they sound good already and fit well together.
Someone ask if Nick is okay, man said “I’m not gonna check the comments cause I’m jus not ab to do that” in a way that makes you wanna give him a crisp high 5
I swear a lot of RUclips tutorials kinda overthink the mixing process, where’s there’s videos of industry producers like Nick, Metro, Tm88 all just talk about leveling and not adding a bunch of compression and what not. STOP OVERTHINKING AND RELEASE YOUR MUSIC
Tbh it's really abt ur equipment idc what anybody say it's true u can have the best beats but if ur headphones or speakers not good and ur not getting the real sound its gonna come out bad
Yes and no. Having a good set of monitors is IMPORTANT but if you have a great mix it will sound good on anything. Thats why a lot producers and engineers have multiple sets of monitors and headphones.
@@trulyblessed4796 no problem broski, you got a point tho, You actually need good equipment to be able to practice until the point that you can have a good mix on any speaker or headphone
So he is saying that i should send my beat with limiter on master to the artist and he will record vocals over it? Or i should send beat without anything on the master and my master should be below 0db?
