“I’d like to mute this.” My wife as I watch this while cooking breakfast. Lol
Idk this was so funny😂
@@soniasanfrancisco6006 HILARIOUS! maybe because we're married.
thanks so much for not introducing pauses between playing the different mixes. in many "tutorials" they stop and they talk and then play the different version which makes it hard to catch the difference. keep up the good work !
Right?!? -=80)
The magic is always in the midrange. 500-4k range typically.
JJP for the win!
Literally just what I needed for my thin mix. Thank you so much!
This is the best video I've seen on this topic. Really appreciate how you actually demo'd what you were talking about about thin, balanced, and muddy so that I know we were on the same page with the terminology - and we were.
I have been inspired….. I cannot wait to finish the course and start my journey so i can show my home studio and creativity to the world!
Love your weekly vids Dylan. Always useful and well explained. Will try this on my current mix
Glad I can help, Andrew.
That mixing balance chart is my favourite tool apart from myself
While this was a fairly informative video--- I'm deeply upset about clicking the link to get the balance sheet, giving my email address, and seemingly being forced to watch another 16 minutes of rambling sales pitch about making money with music...only to never be given access to the "free" balance sheet. I checked my email and there was only an email about how to sign up with your company to make money...but no balance sheet. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt for the last 30-40 minutes, but this is quite frustrating and annoying.
I found it in a google image search. Just search "Musician on a Mission Balance Sheet" and it turns up in the results.
Thanks for this tip man when ever I compare my track spectrum with the other the low end between 100Hz and 300Hz was looking empty now I know how to fix it ❤️
In my experience, a track can sound muddy or clean with the frequency balance being equal. There's a type of muddiness that cannot be fixed with EQ. Room ambience, phase relations, harmonic purity, noise levels, pitch, definition of the transients, jitter and shimmer all seem to contribute. But it can be fixed by working on the quality of the sound source, room acoustics, mic choice and mic placement.
Absolutely agree with your advice on highpass filters. Even if they are set below the fundamental frequency of a track, cutting off the low frequency tails too aggressively creates a pretty thin and unnatural sound.
This!
A mysterious muddiness or emptiness that no matter how you EQ or process won’t go away.
Only way is to re-record 🤯
Really good stuff
Great video,ciao from Italy.
Dope tip! Thanks for this
You bet!
Amazing video
Great video.
love this
Great tips
Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Over aggressive high pass
Suscribed without hesitation
U r best brother...
Love from India...
Glad we could help!
I just want to get my mix right ! I don't want to get bitter and twisted about it
Nice video . Pro q 3 has a preset named de clutter that’s set with a dip and the dynamic function engaged .
My mix looks thin on a span but sounds muddy😂 but these tips will definitely help👌
You guys have been mixing this song for months
ngl the balanced version sounds flat and unprofessional
Most of the tipps they give don’t even apply themselves well
Gem 💎
👍I find my acoustic guitar needs a cut around 300hz, lots of energy there.
This makes good sense because that 100Hz to 300Hz contain the fundamental frequencies of that musical range. When you adjust those, all of the harmonics that are factors of those frequencies are ALSO dipped/boosted. So, the entire spectrum of the mix or guitar track or whatever will be affected by this very subtle change.
always keep in mind, if you mute something and the issue goes away, think if you actually need it. sometimes it’s not doing much for the track and it’s just there to cause you issues
nooice
Whats the Song ? Great video btw
The Locut on those famous consoles was fixed at 100 hz for a reason. Only a few had it at 120. Some were at 80
Dylan, how much dynamic response should you aim for in mixes? I think it's measured in PLR... just wondering what range to aim for! Cheers, R.
I'm interested in that FREE EQ Balance Sheet. However the link goes to some video wanting me to schedule a free strategy lesson instead. I'm actually now interested in both. Unfortunately the eq sheet isn't there and none of the times to set up an appointment via phone call am i available.. Please message me with some good news if possible please and thank you!
Interesting
I think you should atleast include the original song credit included in this video. Fytakyte - Bitter
I find a lot of times my muddy mixes are caused by harmonics on the low notes of the bass. To remedy this I through a multiband compressor on the bass and compress from around 100k and below by a decibel or two.
For sure. My bass mostly always has way too much of that pesky 100k happening.

Hey, really helpful video. But the link to the chart doesn't work. It displays an error msg saying: Access denied
Hi thanks for the very useful video but where is that free EQ sheet? It's not there (anymore) when I open that link.
Out of phase tracks also can creatie mud or thin audio
U could make this video like a 3 min
not 16
balance sheet link nnot working, put in your email nothing get send
the balanced version still sounds very muffled to me something in the 300-500 range
What’s the name of this song ? It’s got a good hook ! 😁
wait who are you
Do you have a mastering tutorial?
Is it odd I like the thin version better? Probably just my earbuds but I've always liked more treble even though, funny enough, i make bass music
same, treble underrated
maybe because you make bass music, you hear bass too much, and so you want more high end when most people wouldnt
Panhandler vst plugin????????

is it ok if i call you "dipper"
Describe it better.
The balanced mix is still muddy the way tracks are muddy in a realistic way... your "muddy" mix is just ridiculous. What you should be doing is considering your balanced mix as muddy and trying to fix that.
He’s not very convincing
