all the way from the start i can feel it in my heart like..all the way from the start starr staa
Bro you got it by heart 😘 superb man!
Great basic principles, very useful to start with. Love the fact you bring that we normally take care of the “cleaning” on the low end on some of the tracks, but we don’t check the MIDs for these also (specially on those 200-500Hz). They also build up too easy if we don’t take care of them in the mix, don't wait for the mastering to correct this...
1. EQ according to role: leave low frequencies for kick & bass. Guitar/piano: Remove conflicting mids and mid bass. Vocal: Boost highs
2. Compress & Level to balance volumes & dynamic ranges
Makes sense.
Subtractive then additive for analog mojo etc.
WTF!! Great explanation of creating space and separation in a mix. Love it!!! You just motivated the hell out of me. I was in a bad creative space.
😄 glad to hear that, keep pushing!

Fantastic, Sean. Great principles and info, including the technical and artistic aspects of mixing. Just the one principle alone of how boosting everything or compressing everything will give LESS space and separation. Thanks so much - look forward to next part(s).
You are fantastic.Thank you.
bro we need a studio tour asap

Ayyyeee exactly what I needed rn!! 🔥
I think that anything pop or hip hop is considerably easier to create separation because there is so much "air" and space in the songs. But what I think a lot of people would love to see is how separation is created in mixes that have a lot of sonic informatin, where the wave form is more condensed, such as anything with an abundance of sustained guitar or keyboards, long notes battling for space with vocals in the mix.
Hip hop, pop music and most modern music like the track selected in this video jare way easier to mix than a much busier tempos with much more sonic activity.
That's 95% of the tutorials on youtube, the music i create and listen to is usually sonically dense. Like a wall of sound.
Yep. Dude having a hell of a time with a song I wrote that has heavy guitars. And I’m a damn guitarist lol distorted Guitars have ALWAYS been my weak point mixing.
*Deciding which element you want to shine*
Thanks
Wow, amazing track. Very helpful as always, thank you.
Fax! Can’t wait for part 2 ! #Roadto100k

Perfect video! Thank you 🙏🏻 new subscriber here, your videos are so helpful!
welcome, glad to hear they're helping 🙌
Thanks a lot Sean!
🙌
Thx again Sean. Your videos have helped this budding producer tremendously. I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me, but it looks as though u have plugins loaded on the actual track. I’ve heard that ideally u want the affects to be placed on the bus and not the track itself. Can u briefly speak to this? Is it okay to have fx n plugins on actually track vs sending to a bus?
Generally speaking, if the track is being processed exclusively (meaning it’s the only track needing that specific FX), insert on the actual track. If you have multiple tracks i.e. vocals that can be processed with the same chain, use a bus / aux to conserve CPU resources and get a more cohesive sound.
I hope this song is out?Great stuff bro but also,amazing song....
thanks Peter! It was released today :) bit.ly/fluid-sd
Great mix and info! How do like that new Rev A reverb by Sonsig?
it's great! lush and vibey... the way I like my reverbs 😁
@@SeanDivine i need to get that!!!
Thank you for the lesson. But by boosting the highs of your vocal doesn't it take away the crisp on your cymbals or white noise? I have to boost a lot of highs in my cymbals or white noise to get the impact that I want, a lot of my tracks are fighting for that high end.
Dynamic EQ should do the trick maybe.
i need to understand how to set up these plugins for work flow. do you place eq directly on a track or send it or what?
Just gotta vent. I been mixing the same song for days. Sounds worst everytime I bounce it. Cant get it.
happens to the best of us... take an ear break and come back to it :)
@@SeanDivine Thanks for the encouragement. I did exactly that and hope to get back to it soon.
in context with mix: *guitar disappears under the vocal and drums*
Sean, how do you setup your computer’s screen recording and audio interface to where your videos have the audio from Logic Pro X already synced? Can’t really find a video on this as of yet
once i panned all the instrument there is fight only in voice kick and bass, wht u say?
Is that garage band? If so how do you get the channel mixer?
logic pro
I have an mp3 track what can i do ?
yo Sean quick question: how are you running all those instances of auto tune on different channels without
the cpu overloading?
thank you for all the insight
-Great Combo
nailed it! It also helps to utilize aux tracks for the rest of the vocal chain, as we talk about on the channel - that way the only insert on the vocal tracks is the pitch correction, which the newer plugins aren't too heavy on the cpu
What's the track at the end??
just a beat I haven't released yet :)
I came here to learn, and I would of learned something. But I get a freaking ad for pysco-the-rapists advertising how they help society.
Ironc, there are more shootings then ever before, more homeless, more white collar and black collar crime.
More gender confusion and more irrelevant,irritating advertising for psychotropic mind altering drugs.
If ya can get better endorsements I'll come back.
I have no control over which ads RUclips displays on my videos.
@@SeanDivine You have one of the best channels! And I know you can't control the ads. And, im sorry it came across that way.
But, I search for EXACT things and googlement will NOT return proper results. Which means they control people's lifes, revenue and popularity.
Definitely they skimming the til.
@@SeanDivine I'm a targeted individual.
