    Damn, making a send with a distorted, eq'd and widened 808 is simply gold. You are literally the best youtuber out of there when it comes to mixing hip hop/RnB and also explaining it! I honestly, mixed a song recently based on the techniques and tools provided in your videos, and it turned fucking amazing. Thank you for that, and keep going my man, this is something that you don't get even in paid courses.

  •  2 года назад

    This technique really made a positive difference in my bass! Thanx!!
    I don't speak English, but the good thing about the video is that you speak slowly, and then it's easier for automatic subtitles on youtube to be able to follow you and translate!

    • @RastegarNariman
      @RastegarNariman 5 лет назад

      Mark Thomas You don’t have to invert the phase in this case, it’s completely wrong, because if you invert the same signal , it causes phase cancellation and your sound is also not mono compatible anymore, so in the clubs, in radio or in your phone or every where , where you play your song mono, you will have no bass at all 👍 watch this video on your phone and as soon as he inverts the signal you can’t hear anything 🙂 18:57 Phase cancellation

    This is an awesome presentation!

I get a lot out of your videos but would like to see what occurred further up-stream with your actual vocal and midi recording processes- from scratch. Thanks so much for your continual commitment to providing critical and relevant content! 😀

    the polarity switch on 808 for FL STUDIO users: sidechain your main instrument mixer channel to another free mixer channel for your sides information (if its that you are going for like in this video) with no signal going to it. means just like a send/parallel processing but if you play your main vocal or instrument, your send channel shouldnt show any level of volume coming from your main instrument mixer channel even though you didn’t pull the send volume nob down.. NEXT: Load “Fruity stereo shaper” on the sidechain channel. Go to presets choose “Mide - aSide Splitter” then go back play the main instrument and your send mixer channel should show some volume level coming from your main instrument mixer channel. turn each volume nobs up and down but I think you should hear the difference directly after applying those steps I mentioned.

    Hey Devon, amazing tutorials - thx a lot for these! A thing which seems kinda tricky with your technique are phase issues tho - through inverting the phase it sounds super super stereo but as soon as you put it to mono the phases just completely cancel each other out! I find either chorus or specific stereo widening plugins work better in that case

    • @AchillesxHeal
      @AchillesxHeal 3 года назад

      He mentions that the channel that has the invertion, is suppose to be in stereo because its in the higher frequency. Its not suppose to be in mono.
