How To Layer Leads Properly (Mixing Tutorial)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- In this mixing tutorial, you will learn the basics of layering leads properly in your mix. It will give you an example of how you can go about layering your leads in order to get them to sound fat, wide and poping out of the mix. Layering sounds, and especially lead sounds in a song is very important in modern dance music. There are a few things to keep in mind when layering sounds, so make sure to watch the entire video so that you don't miss anything. If you want to learn how to mix music properly then this video will help you out. Also, make sure to check out my other how to mix videos. Mixing and mastering is one of the most difficult things to get to grips with for beginners, but it doesn't have to be difficult. Simply follow these simple mixing rules, and your mix will sound big, fat, crisp, and clear. That's the ultimate goal of any music producer.
When mixing a song, you have one main goal, and that is to ensure that there's space for all the elements in the mix. Every element in the mix needs to have it's own space int he frequency spectrum, so that it pops out of the mix, without interfering with any other elements in the mix. IF that happens, the song will sound muffled or muddy, and you don't want that.
When layering sounds, don't just pick sounds at random. Try to build your layers based on what frequencies are missing in your mix. That's the best way to get fat-sounding leads. This mixing tip also applies to most other sounds as well when mixing music.
You should always EQ sounds while others are playing as well, not just in solo. I talk more about this in my EQ tutorial.

FireWalk You are Really Great Sir!!
Thank you! Much appreciated :)
Daily EDM Uploads watch FireWalks tutoring on eqing
Thank you for these amazing videos. I've searched countless youtube channels to help me grasp concepts and tricks but no one and i mean no one explains these tricks and concepts as clear and well explained as you do. There was so much that i didn't know how to do, but watching these i think i have a new bump on my head finally!!!! i will be watching all your videos from start to finish!!! This video was SOOOOOOOOO helpful. i have so much to say but i'll just say thank you for these amazing helpful videos!!
FireWalk Just discovered your channel and I love the tutorials. So informative, yet clear, focused and straight to the point. You answer questions that I think of when I'm watching other tutorial videos. I've always heard "Pick the right sounds to layer." Yet never hear suggestions on how to go about that. Yet as soon as I think it when watching your video, you answer! This video was extremely helpful and I'm about to binge watch your mixing tutorials after subscribing. Thanks for the tutorials! :D
This tutorial is ace. No stupid jokes, just straight to the point, no overcomplicated and stretched out explanations
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
or no "YO YO WHAT'S GOOD? IT'S YA BOY FIREWALK!" 🤣😂
I hate those stupid jokes
Facts
this is awesome. I have to say tho... you sound almost exactly like the guy that does the narrating on How Its Made. its crazy
I get that at least 3-4 times every day.. :p
lol I believe it!
lol he definitely sounds like that exact narrator
Yes
Honestly - i am stunned and did not expect to find something that professional with so few views and subscribers. You deserve much more. Thank You. Regards from Lithuania
Thank you, very much appreciated! :)
I've watched a few of your tutorials now. These are REAL tutorials and not just someone without a microphone doing stuff on the screen really fast and calling it a tutorial. I like how you actually explain everything, it's extremely helpful! Thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked it! :)
You deserve so much more recognition.
Thank you Ethan, that means a lot :)
@@FireWalkMusic first timer here & I AGREE. Thank you so much!
I’m struggling layering my saws. In glad you went in depth for all of us.

FL Studio + Reaper = Best friends
1:17 What a time saver, thanks
ur channel is my favorite for fl tutorials. clear and easy to understand. thank you
Thanks! Glad you like my videos 😀
Feeling so guilty I haven't been able to make my promised donation yet 😭 I cannot stress enough to people that you make the best tutorials on the Web full stop ! People would have to pay lots of money to gain this type of expertise knowledge ! Gob bless to the greatest tutorial maker on the internet.
Hey Daniel! Thanks for that! Great to see you here again by the way. No hard feelings :). These tutorials are free for all to use, and I leave it up to those who actually do have money to spare to donate. :)
If you share these videos with others and tell them about it, then that's kind of like a donation in it's own. So you shouldn't feel bad about that! :)
I didn't know about the Layer for playing multiple synths with one piano roll. This is going to be a huge time-saver and it will curb some of my frustrations. Thank you! :)
You're welcome :)
I almost spend two years searching tutorials on Mixing EQ and find it very hard to understand, this channel gives me better ideas and straight to the point. Thanks again for sharing, hope to find more other videos in the near future. This is very helpful.
Glad you liked it! :)
You're good at it man, great video. You should have tons of subs. I just find every single video you make so interested and amazing.. Cheers....
Thanks Luis! I really appreciate you saying that. I put a LOT of work into these videos, so I'm very glad to see that you guys find them helpful :)
Thanks for the tip cutting the reverb to make the lead cut through the mix. I've been scratching my head until now with my current track and simply switching the reverb off the lead has transformed it! Great tip.
You're welcome. Glad you found it useful! :)
Your videos are so helpful. I have been watching your tutorials for the past few weeks and my mixing improvement over the past few weeks has been massive. There has been a huge improvement since my first track. My newest track (5th track), is by far the cleanest mix I have made so far.
Thank you for these tutorials!
You're welcome! Glad you found the videos helpful :)
You're making some of the best easy to follow pro and highly informative trance producing tutorials on the Internet huge big ups man
Thank you, glad to hear you liked it! :)
I love tutorials with this voice. So detailled without talking arround the point.I always did layering almost like you told us but i learned some new stuff (frequency part, Echo/Reverb Part) and its absolutetly true, sometimes it fits, sometimes i made epic leads, sometimes not ..reason was the echo/reverb part which i had simply luck with when it sounded good.
Thanks! Glad you find the videos helpful :)
Thank you for the professionalism, and a nice smooth flow. Very useful and easy to understand. I learned a lot and wrote like 3 pages of notes. Well done.
You're welcome, glad you found it useful :)
I just want to say, Thank you so much Firewalk! Truly. You have answered my music making payers!
You're welcome. Glad to hear that you found the content helpful! :)
most helpful tutorial I ever watched man! I knew most of this stuff before, but u add small tips and tricks that are so helpful, and u explain it so easily, loveit !
Thanks, glad you liked it! :)
Wow! What a great tutorial! Thank You!
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
This are by far the best tutorials out there, thx man!
Thank you, much appreciated :)
I'm pretty stoked about the creating a layer out of all the sounds, excited to apply that knowledge to other instruments and operations. Thanks!
You're welcome 🙂
THANKS DIDN'T KNOW THE LAYER AND PATCH THING :)
You're welcome :)
Can you help me out if I show you some stuff like vocals, kick and bass mixing in track as reference or simply a tutorial how to mix kick and bass and do variation with vocals ? Hahah
Awsome info. It reminds me when a band I was in had three guitars and one would use a basic open chords, the next would use bar chords and fially would use iverts. Thank god we had a great guy whith ears to mix the layers
Thanks! Indeed. It's remarkable how much the actual mixing has to say for the end result. It's not easy, especially when you have a lot of similar instruments like that. They will inevitably try to mask each other. It requires some skills to make them all seem clear at the same time. :)
Finally a great tutorial to show you how to layer sounds man thank you so much
Thanks :)
Your videos are of massive help sir, I will probably re-watch a few times cause I am still a bit of a noob, nice to see great tutorials from you and some others in the community
Thanks, glad you found them helpful! :)
great stuff! I cut my learning to mix curve in more than a half watching and memorizing your videos, im a singer songwriter, producer, Im working with Russ Dalton very well know country songwriter. after making sure i studied everything you taught, i went and threw pink noise on my tracks applying your lessons before hand, THEN MIXED IT. AMAZED AND WIDE WAKE NOW.
Wow, that's great! Always nice to hear that I've been able to help someone out. I've noticed that especially the mixing related videos are popular. You'll be happy to hear that I have more mixing and mastering related videos planned. :)
First FireWalk video I watch, it was very useful, clear and short enough to not get bored ! I'll check other tutorials ! Thanks man !
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
10/10 tutorial. Extremely professional and knowledgeable!

You're welcome :) I have a long list of things to do, and I'm trying to cross off as much as possible. Yes, this is something I have considered, as well as making some templates for you guys to download. I just haven't had much time lately, so hopefully I'll be able to step up my game once I get some more free time on my hands :)
You're tutorials are really good, the fact they're usually done over trance is perfect for me as thats what I'm making aswell, cheers bud
Thanks, glad to hear that you like them. I try to make tutorials that's as generic as possible, so that they can be of use to any kind of producer. However, Trance is by far my favorite genre so there will also be some trance specific tutorials. :)
FireWalk keep up the good work bud
