Tip for everyone - Set this up as a template - deactivate the plugins when you save the template and turn them on when its time to mix the beat. efficiency
@@prodllb I just followed this step by step with a new beat I made this morning - difference is night and day. I truly cannot thank you enough bro. To say thanks and give back will buy one of your kits today. Thank you bro
Not a single mix engineer ever would recommend most of what you did here. Can’t really tell people not to master just because it’s something you don’t have an understanding of. The art of mixing is finding out how to get your sounds to pop even at low levels. It’s getting that perceived loud sound and hard hitting without smashing everything red. Then use the mastering to bring the volume up (amongst other things). Just smashing everything as hard as you can through a clipper ain’t it 😂
@@prodllb I'm a producer and own a small recording studio so I do a lot of recording and mixing. I've been in many sessions with top level engineers so I know their work flow and how they operate in general.
@@prodllb why u so mean dude? Like mixing the beat with hard clipping on master bus? This is seriously bullshit mate :D Your mix should have as much headroom for mastering and recording as u can. Best at least -3dB headroom...
I wasn't a fan of how he was doing things, but I can see some of the pros here. Yeah, it's rough. However, since he mixes everything in busses, when he sends stems the unmixed track outs are sent as well as the busses. You get the stereotypical soft clipper effect, a master track out that bumps, and if they buy the stems, the engineer has the ability to work on it without the stems clipping. Compared to how I've seen other producers on RUclips just thrash the master soft clipper, this is much better for the stems.
You motivated me, to get back to my producing, god bless you brother, keep up the great work, I feel that I got more from you, than these click funnels, it’s all about great relationships
I upload my beats to RUclips, TikTok & Beatstars hella clipped like this. However, I always make a second mix that peaks between -3 and -6dbs because most of my artists buy .mp3 or .wav leases (not trackouts) and need to be able to fit their vocals in Imo if you're just going for placements, you can email your beats out like this. The punch from the clipper is something artists enjoy and it might make them more likely to reach out to you for stems & placement.
One of the best tutorials with great explaining, you deserve more subs no kapp, I’m investing in those plug ins now, if anyone has any good free alternatives for now, plz lmk, thanks🙏
That beat is 🔥, but tbh the final mix doesn’t sound good. Sounds overly distorted and missing the punch due to clipping. Definitely would sound better if you leveled it to hit around -6db on the master, and then used ozone maximizer to make it louder.
ik I'm 2 years late but what would be the point of doing that if you're just gonna turn up the volume? not hating just wondering because I did this with a sonnox inflator limiter and it sounds cleaner and louder
@@notprosperBEATS Limiters allow for volume increase without technically clipping, or going past 0 DB. Basically they allow you to get louder without distorting/dirtying the sound. If you push past 0 db before limiting, it’s already too late and the sound isn’t going to come out both loud and clean.
Would adding low end to hats claps and snares and high end to your kick not be counterintuitive and just give you unwanted frequencies? That part has me really confused bro would appreciate your opinion.
@@chris8651 no bro I'm talking about a kick drum being a low frequency instrument, a snare and hihat being a high frequency instrument, normally one would cut out the unwanted frequencies for clarity in a mix and I'm aaking what's the reasoning for boosting these unwanted frequencies, sorry if I don't make myself clear I didn't really know how to explain it 😂🙏
I use Ableton but watch a lot of fl studio videos as well and I think its crazy that these daw companies aren't scoping each other out and trying to get the upper hand feature wise like we need soft clipper in Ableton gross beat as well its definitely not enough to switch to fl studio tho
Got a question 😊 why do you place your eq last on melody instead of putting it in first to cutoff any undesired frequencies before adding any processing so it doesn’t clash in the frequencies when altering them or boosting them ? Thank you for answering would help me mixing maybe i am wrong 😅
@@Shomiibeats I know, but maybe someone sees this today or tomorrow, don't be so selfish. And even if 1 year has passed you might be still searching for this so :)
@@jonasdnb7817 You'd be better off getting good sounds to begin with, I very rarely eq any sounds anymore, here check my most recent mixing tut: ruclips.net/video/uqMndFItKh8/видео.html
Dude got thrashed for speaking on something that is out of his scope of knowledge.Beatmakers should just "mix" meaning add ear candy to the beat and let the mix and mastering engineers deal with the post beat production and fine tuning.

No worries man, glad it helped
I'm going to try this out when I get a day of from work. Seems very promising
edit this is making my beats sound fire
I mean you don't call this mastering but it's pretty much mastering on grouped channels instead of the master channel.
ayyyyyyyy fav producer there yall!
♥️♥️
Great content brother! This is plus. 💯🙏🏽

Fantastic content.... respect from another UK producer on the same journey 👌🏾👊🏿
Omg thats SO USEFUL, you're the beast bro waiting for new content🙏🏿❤❤❤
No worries man 🙏🏼
your master peak was above +3 db why you leave it like that?
Because clipping is not a bad thing
@@Nikblor if using analog yes but digital +3db it's a bit high
New sauce acquired🔥💯

Can WAV tracks be mastered that dont come with stems?

@@ProducedbyA1 i totally agree with you, and also he uses an 808 and a subbass at the same time which can cause extra muddiness...
agree w u
I understand, it just works for me, sound selection is key, that's how I mix

Thank you bro 🔥❤️
for the ones who dont have these plugyns what is the equivalents in FL20 stuckes plugyns?
you can use pink noise to level beats
I actually learned alot from this
Solid man
do you click things in with your mouse or on your computer keyboard more?
Just depends bro, mixture
Great content bro
Thank you man! Really appreciate it
where is this beat or one of your beats i want to hear how they sound
have you heard its best to turn your piano and other sounds to 334hz
amazing holy mans
Thank you bro 🙏
What about the sidechain though ?? Do you recommend do it before doing this mixing procedure or after ?
I used to, but I don't sidechain anymore
Do kicks go to the drums or the bass bus?
Personally I put them in my drum buss because I process my kicks and bass elements differently but everyone is different!
Mastering has been frustrating me for years
Dropping an 2021 mastering update in a couple hours bro
Get this man a million subs already. As a producer myself, I learned a lot from you by just binge watching all your videos LMAO 😂
Ah haha thank you bro, that's dope man! I'm just glad the videos are helpful
90% of a great mixdown is levelling and EQ, It really isn't that deep.
If you have to put ANYTHING on your master channel go back to the mix.
sick ima try this
I learned so much from you! Keep doing these type of videos
That's dope man! I'm glad they're helping!!
wicked Advice
No worries man!
That beat nice asf bruh
Dope beat in the first part of the vid, whats it called?
Thank you brother 🙏 and it's called No Going Back
Definitely gonna start using that exciter 😳 also do you know any good soft clipper alternatives I’m on ableton 😭
TrackS Classic Clipper. It is better than the soft clipper.

@@Shomiibeats I know, but maybe someone sees this today or tomorrow, don't be so selfish.

@@Kings.Production ik I'm 1 year late but literally just put a saturator on master with the soft clip option
thank you
No worries man 🙏🏼
bro it clips? i mean even if you add the softclipper on master it loses the sound when i look at fruity limiter like its just crunch
Shouldnt you always leave 3-6db of headroom for the vocal mixing of the engineers?
Yeah that's what the stems are for 👊
Nice beat
Thank you!

Where are these drums from
The Artemis drum kit bro, here's the link for it bsta.rs/e97402f3
Its possible to load arcade to fl studio but how
jst run the installer and find it in your plugins bro
It's is possible but it is so CPU intensive, lags the project if you don't render bounce every sound you pull out of it to a wav.
What laptop is that? I'm looking for a laptop to make beats on (fl studio)
looks like an hp omen
so no eq?
this is an old vid man, I've switched it up now
@@prodllb thanks for the reply, i was just wondering as i eq every individual channel( like kick, snare etc) is that the correct way of doing it?

Maaan, what's your setup? And which processor you recomend for a upgrade for - my actual one is a intel cork.
i like the way of shooting video. I think with good video camera, lenses, lighting and midi keyboard it could become more popular
For sure man im looking to upgrade the camera at some point
