You absolute legend, my mixdown went from Davy Jones' locker type dirty gross mix to a recently cleaned toilet bowl type mix. It's not squeaky clean, but soooo much better than it used to be, thanks mr ozi
Great job with keeping it simple but effective. I watched this video when I first started doing any of this and I was so confused lol. its been about a year and since I know things better from when I first started a lot just clicked in my head. It really is as simple as 5 pieces
I am beyond greatly for this. I love the fact that you’ve went over an important topic when it comes to music production. Along with making it so understandable and fun asf. You’re a blessing dude 🖤🖤 My one and only question would be since I recently got into production a few months ago. What is the difference between a top end kick and low end kick? I’m sure it’s an obvious answer but I would love clarity haha!
So this is weird, haven't even started the tutorial yet, and I was just thinking 'out of any artist who would be a true G and help explain to us how to do this properly' I search you up and? Boom, Mix-down AND Master video (NOT FROM 4 YEARS AGO OR SOME SH%$) from a pro and a great guy to listen to. Can't wait to watch, grabbing a drink.
You should try sticking a utility on each sound down to your preference. I go to -10 on my kick and everything else -16. That way you not fighting volume so much. Set the master to -10 and the. Remove the utility on the master when everything is mixed.
Instead of using the ableton limiter and bringing down the ceiling. You could also use a clipper to get the same result. Also curious as to if you do any group/buss processing? Could be a topic for another mixing video? One more thing, for the sub bass with the different frequencies part, a good way to get a consistent level is to just bounce out the sub midi to audio, and manually slicing and bringing down the volume of all the notes that raise the volume to a uniform db. I find this method more effective instead of using a compressor because compressors usually overly react to low end. Great vid!
Got one problem tho... When I'm cutting some frequenties with an EQ, my sound will become louder and starts clipping / going into the red sometimes. Even when this sound was hitting 0db before EQ'ing. This happens to me a lot
every time you use processing, you are changing phase and amplitude of sounds. Some of the best mixers in the world prefer to make a good mix with just panning and volume level adjustments and minimal EQ etc, so they don't alter the natural sound of instruments too much. This is not necessary in electronic music, because your sounds are already unnatural (still, if you want to add realistic instruments, don't overdo the effect chains on them or they will start sounding "electronic")
Exactly what @azraksash, you will most likely have to use a limiter or a clipper at the end of your chain to keep the elements from hitting above 0dB. Pro-L is a fav for most people, there is Gclip (free plug-in), JST Clip, heck you could even use any compressor really at the end of the chain (since a limiter technically is one sort of compression) to fix your problem. Hope that helps!
Hmmm when you bussed the drums and cuts off the lows of all the drums and put two sidechains on the bus and did nothing ,what was that for? did you skip it in post by accident? Left my drum but with no lows lol
But what if you want the kick and snare layered on the same hit, I can't mix them both to be -10 because then when they hit at the same time it shoots up the master past -10db
Why do you lower after effect gain rather than input? Wouldn't it make more sense to lower -10 or -20 with a utility at the start of your effect chain rather than the output (after effect gain)?
this is great video, to be honest. Mixes sound cleaner than ever! My silly brain still gets the loudness penalty assault at the end, though. I'll master it, then the track gets turned down around 4 to 6 db. Disheartening lol
@@PGreco-ov8qe than again, I have been mixing and gaining the volume this entire time. I guess technically yes I am mastering. But yeah might have got my terms a bit backwards. Thanks for noticing.
@@DrOziOfficial on another livestream or yt video like it’s a series called mixing with dr ozi idk XD it’s very helpful and i learned a lot and a lot of people learnt too so maybe more about mixing stuff
OKAY!!! I MAY HAVE MENTIONED SHAVING MY HEAD OFF.... BUT CMON NOW....
Next post should be this.
too late :)
I still remember the first time I listened to the remix of graveyard by Dr.Ozi
Look at those sub numbers... uh oh, Dr. Ozi about to be bald!
great tutorial ..
You absolute legend, my mixdown went from Davy Jones' locker type dirty gross mix to a recently cleaned toilet bowl type mix. It's not squeaky clean, but soooo much better than it used to be, thanks mr ozi
AYEEEE LETS GO!
Yeah, this is nuts that he even decided to show something like this, as most producers normally dont show how to efficiently clean their mix
32:04
"Hard pan sub to left and kick to the right, that way you will have space for each instrument"
I see nothing wrong with that
This video is really worth gold. Thanks Ozi, this video will probably change the way I produce.
i seriously learned a lot... you just made my day
Can we make other peoples day? Share it to you me friends ❤️
Bruh you have no idea how useful this is. Thank you doc.
Glad it helped!
@@DrOziOfficial how much headroom do you leave for mastering??
@@dynxmit3official920 like in the vid. -6.0 db estimate. Maximum -4.0
you opened my eyes actually, after 6 years of producing, thank you Ozi
This one got randomly recommended to me, and it's such a sick vid wtf. Thanks dude
this is by far the best mixing tutorial ive watched
I love you, greetings from Argentina!!!!
I sat through a 40 min class. 😳
Hope i can do this without any interruption 😂
Tum baajewala ka live me tha na?
Was it it worth it?
@@DrOziOfficial absolutely
@@DrOziOfficial Yessir. Btw what do you have on your Groups (Bus). Like on drums group, synth group and everything?
This is super helpful. Also if your reading this dr ozi, it kind of sounds like there's erotion on your mic. Super great tutorial tho
I got new mic!
Ig it's the gate doing its thing trynna cut the hiss
dude i absolutely love you so much
Love you too!
thanks for the shoutout :)
All jokes aside this was crazy helpful
Lol!

Top end kick is a kick sample with only the high frequencies in it
Ngl this one really helped me out alot and still helps me getting better with my mixes. Biggups❤
I am so glad I watched this, super useful, will definitely come back and see this again. Great job!
youll always be one of my all time favs thank you so so much for all the videos they help so much much love to you hope all is well
Loved the depth of the tutorial and explanation
Thank you!
This was super helpful for me, but I'm def gonna have to watch a few more times. Thanks Doc!
Share it to your friends if you can :)

Hehehe ❤️❤️❤️
This is such an incredible video. Not only informative but funny as well. Best 40 minutes of my life thank you 🙏🏾
Haha that means a lot!

More mixdown videos pleaseee!
Got you

Thanks for editing and uploading this, man! Concise and clear.
golden content... thank you so much for this master
The flash bang really got me
I needed this tutorial a long time ago
Share it with friends!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks, would definitely add a improvement in my mixdowns! Love from india
Let me know how it goes!
yessir :)
Bro that's a killer ink sleeve.
Thank you! You’ve got any tats?
YOU ARE THE BEST !
damn this got recommended to me, and I feel it might get recommended to many others
better prepare the razor
I regret mentioning it now
Same shit here
I WANT... THE RIDE..... TO GO UPPP!!!!

That’s the hi hat group. With kick and snare side chain. Not the entire drum group ❤️
teaching all this for free impressive nix !
i appreciate you doing this🙌🙌🙌
I appreciate you watching it!
Massive Big Ups for this 👊
Lmao homie just yelling in the mic
But what if you want the kick and snare layered on the same hit, I can't mix them both to be -10 because then when they hit at the same time it shoots up the master past -10db
I have a question, in this video you make room for the snare transient throughout the video. Would i do the same if i was using a clap?
Waiting 😍
sick video
Thank you :)
Why do you lower after effect gain rather than input? Wouldn't it make more sense to lower -10 or -20 with a utility at the start of your effect chain rather than the output (after effect gain)?
Thank you sir.
def earned the subscribe for the shave comment
Thanks cuz
does it matter what app you are using
Not at all
can you write a song before you get in touch with the producer and mixer before you go to the studio
@@ranoffdaplug yes
thank you
but what about the space? do we need to process it when we turn the mono mode off
Correct
wow Thank you soo much!!!
very useful i guess :D
even i cant do nothing after many tries xD
but maybe in future it will be more useful
but still pretty good video
thanks alot man
How did you add emoji's in Ableton, and I use a windows laptop, How can I go about it?
you gave that sub a childhood
this is great video, to be honest. Mixes sound cleaner than ever! My silly brain still gets the loudness penalty assault at the end, though. I'll master it, then the track gets turned down around 4 to 6 db. Disheartening lol
I thought it was dr AHzi not ozi 😂
DR OG 🔥💪🏻
Hey how much db headroom should i leave for mastering?
i am pretty sure the gain staging is something else
What do you mean?
@@DrOziOfficial what do you call gain staging is more like mastering,gain staging is another thing
@@PGreco-ov8qe elaborate more on gain staging.
@@PGreco-ov8qe than again, I have been mixing and gaining the volume this entire time. I guess technically yes I am mastering. But yeah might have got my terms a bit backwards. Thanks for noticing.
Can you please continue this like tell us more about reverb and compressors please
Continue how?
@@DrOziOfficial on another livestream or yt video like it’s a series called mixing with dr ozi idk XD it’s very helpful and i learned a lot and a lot of people learnt too so maybe more about mixing stuff
Ahhh I got you. I can try!
@@DrOziOfficial THANK YOU !
When you go into gainstaging near the end and add a saturator is that within the master? or on the individual channels
Keep that sub mono :3
yoo lets justv hope i can do this in fl studio
36:08 - gain staging
Probably I’m the only one that doesn’t like dark mode
Some people like pineapple on pizza
@@DrOziOfficial I do, but shhh... Don't tell anyone about it
les go
Neddie sent me :)
nice
Ну норм
OHH SHIT!
wow
Thank you doctor. You have cured my inability to mix a song properly. My payment is puttin out bangers 😁😁😁
Haha show me when they are done!
Hello!
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
I subbed a little to fast for my liking
I didn't sub because I think your hair is beautiful.
I wasn’t going to anyways SUBSCRIBE
@@DrOziOfficial Jokes I sub'd
No dislike
FOR ONCE
*Shave*
8 people didn't get good after watching this video
Lame joke aside though, I don't know how anyone into producing would dislike this video, smh
AM RIGHT!?
