I love that the first words he says are "so... tip number one"
I wish he would stop beating around the bush and just get to the point.
@@selfishbeats :)))
Very helpful to not have to sit through minutes of some idiot telling me to like a video and subscribe before I even see the video to determine if I like it.
Also, I appreciate not having to listen to a 15-30 sec. theme song someone made up for a 1-15 minute video clip, like so many RUclips producers do.
Same here !!!
💯
Man, I got so much respect for this video. No intro, no "let me tell you my life story first". Just pure content. Take my like and my subscribe
We appreciate it!
@@LANDRmusic same here. i'm gonna forward this in some other channels as a 'How To' on how to do a 'How To' vid.
Right into it. I like how you didn't waste 2 minutes on an intro. LOL...
To the point and no nonsense. So relieving to not have to listen to “Yo, youtube, what’s up”!

Hi. On my mix-bus i have been doing some mide side eq-ing and i notice how much the sounds are glued in together and it sounds more cohesive. I do only -1or -2db of gain reduction. Will this affect my mix for mastering.? Please and thanks for reading and answering.
Thanks for your question! We’ll forward it to Al and let you know if it gets chosen!
@@LANDRmusic thank you guys..👍
Thanks for the videos, they're awesome. 1. Volume automation on the masterbus (e.g. lowering the volume before the chorus/drop) - will this cause problems for my master engineer? 2. Is it worth buying an analog mixer just for the sound or are just just big expensive consoles going to give me that nice analog coloration and I'm better off buying an interface with more inputs for my synths? 3. Do I need to pay attention to what preamps an interface has if my only goal is to record synthesizers without any microphones involved? Thanks!
Great questions! We’ll send them to Al and let you know if they get chosen!
Sound advice! ;)
In tip #14 about a/b(ing) decisions you mention how each effect can have not only positives but variable negatives dependent on how you want the mix to sound and how the effect is to be used. Just wondering if you guys have or could make/ point me to any vids that almost go over these particular pros and cons accompanying each type of effect. Any information would be helpful!

I'm guilty as charged for trying to impress a client with loud mixes...haha! Great tips man...thanks a lot
The advice to pet my baby was spot on
i like bro
Do you gain stage before or after adding FX, And should EQing be apart of the gain staging process? Just trying to get better.
I didn't know what gain staging was until you guys, it made thing so much cleaner, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for the question! Will forward it to our Senior Audio Engineer.
The concept of dithering sends to outboard is new to me. Noise shaping too or keep that flat? Or is it a matter of taste? Nice tips by the way
Thanks for your question! We’ll sent it to Al and let you know if it gets selected!
What’s the best online course to become an audio engineer?
I actually understand what he is talking about.
That's great!
Al, I'd like to know about dithering in preparation for Landr mastering. If my session is exported at 48k 24 bit should I apply the dither for 44.1 16 bit coming out of Ableton or send it to you undithered at the original 48k 24 bit for you to dither when I'm selecting to master a CD quality 44.1 16 bit?
Hi Paul,
Short answer; keep it at 48kHz/24-bits. LANDR will dither to 16-bit when/if needed. It will also resample to 44.1kHz if requested. It's best to perform these processes at or near the end of the chain.
Longer answer; Dither should be applied as little as possible, ideally only at the last stage if a reduced bit depth is needed for distribution. But you need to dither every time you're moving to a lower bit depth. Most (all?) DAW's operate internally at 32-bit floating point resolution, so it's good practice to dither to 24-bits when exporting from a DAW. But save any dithering to 16-bits for the final step (ie. mastering) if needed. Some DAW's automatically dither the output to 24-bits, but I've been unable to find clear answers as to who does it and when/how. So default dithering to 24-bits is ok, as the noise floor of a 24-bit dither is so low that a couple of extra applications don't make an appreciable difference.
this guy should give the video cutter some tips how to level music and voice to make it easy to understand everything
Nice intro haha
I'm JT from New York, New York
I'm looking to create an album I have 2 questions:
Questions:
What makes your approach to create an album different from other people’s?
What are the biggest mistakes and myths you see in Album making?
What are the biggest wastes of time?
How do I set different predelay for every track when I send them to the same reverb?
If every track is going to the same reverb, think of them going to the same room. You'll only be able to set one pre delay time that defines ALL the sounds in the same room. If you're looking to set different pre delay times for different sounds, I'd recommend setting up more reverb busses.
When he says "return" of the reverb at 1:59, can anyone explain that a bit more to me?
Sauce God EQ before the reverb and EQ after the reverb.
Awesome tips despite the loud and annoying two chord jingle.
Great tips. Would have been a better a better video if you turned down the background music, which was almost competing with the narration. Love your no fluff approach. Thanks.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the suggestion!
agreed
pet your dog or your cat or your BABY! love you
Awesome video, no stupid intros or annoying youtuber bullshit blah, blah. From second 1, right to the points.
why is the music so loud :P
argghhh there's a bad resonant high frequency (like above 15khz) in the guitar track on this video which is present for the entire thing. I'm going to have to wear some shitty headphones to get through this
And Don’t forget to pet your babies!
Makes professional tutorial on mixing, but produces it with the bg music way to intrusive to the instruction. 🤯
Tip #16.... The background music is too loud compared to the dialogue and very distracting. Great video besides that. Sometimes if we work with music 24 seven we don’t need music when you’re talking unless it’s an actual example
would you please be my producer
music volume is higher than your voice
a mixing video with "background music" louder then what the persons saying.. bruh
Excuse me. I'm going to go pet my baby... 😜
The background music almost makes this video unlistenable. Too loud.
ngl i did not understand at least 80% of this
Love the no-nonsense immediacy, but for the love of God, turn the music bed down. Way down.
why the background music during the talking? Could only listen to first minute. Instant dislike.
such a good tips!!! Thank you very much!
You're so welcome!
