@@KonradKavallieratos Every time there's a free Nolly mixing video I must watch it even if it's just to know what everyone will be trying to copy next, it's actually amazing foresight into some audio trends
For sure he has tons of experience but he also has possibly the best monitor and sound treatment setups in his room which are most likely also responsible for enabling him to hear those nuances.
I bought modern massive because I just loved the tones and the thought put into it. The fact that you make these incredible videos free and give your knowledge and experience away with humility is the reason I keep buying and using all of your products. Much love, brother and thank you.
So thankful we have videos like this to give an insight on how to get good mixes, im light years away from being able to mix things at such a high level, but 10 years ago this information wasnt even close to being so accessible. The fact this is free is too sick. People making music with their home set ups have so much info and knowledge to absorb these days its insane. Big ups to Nolly and everyone else out there helping people take their stuff to the next level.
Eric Valentine. Guys an absolute genius. Hes been done some belter over the years, produced Song for the Deaf QOTSA, Good Charlotte's Young and Hopeless... And most importantly... Smash Mouths All Star 🙌🏻😂
Love the shout outs to Eric Valentines recent RUclips endeavours and hearing you implement some of those flavours on the most recent Periphery record. Great tutorial so far!
I literally started doing this exact thing on toms about a month or two ago for the same reasons, with the same plugin. It's an amazing thing what you can do with Saturn. I even use the dynamics control on the high-band to reduce bleed and it works REALLY well. Tried it after seeing Eric Valentine use Saturn all around his drums.
@@adamnollygetgood Yessir! That control seems to be SUPER intelligent about recognizing the transients, and bringing down cymbal bleed. Even layering this over the MB high-end expansion trick for snare drum creates an unreal amount of headroom.
This video is absolute gold. My electronic drum module (Pearl Mimic Pro) has EQ and Compression in a Master Bus and for each individual channel plus the ability to route Direct/OH/Room mics and levels just like the GGD plug-in so I am going to try some of these mixing approaches and attempt to replicate my own Halpern kit!
This is an amazing marketing scheme! Everyone loves the Nolly masterclasses, so obviously everyone will want to do this with him. Very good business move! That being said, I bought the PIV library and the entire album stems this morning and I'm gonna replace all the drums with GGD. What can I say?? BEST THERE IS!
7:05 If I were a mixing engineer and the band would send me last minute feedback saying they want the mix to sound more "exciting", I'd throw them a mug or something to their heads.
For the life of me, I cannot get the MIDI map to work. Only thing that's getting through is the Snare and a single tom. Surely can't be the only one experiencing this? UPDATE: I fixed some of this by enabling all MIDI channels in the Kontakt input. The issue is that the drums are being played from different channels (I don't know if it was just easier to group this way). So only some snare and tom hits were being played on channel 1 (the default input for Kontakt). Basically the rest of the drum set i being played on channel 10. This guy goes over how to do it fairly quickly. Just set the MIDI channels to "omni" and you should be good to go. ruclips.net/video/D08Sm8bK5CQ/видео.html I appreciate you guys sharing this stuff with us, and I'm definitely not here to complain about free lessons and practice material. However, I think it would be better to put the MIDI on a single channel and make it as simple as possible to get going, since we're a lot of people on very different DAWs with various level of skill. And Hi Hats hits seem to not exist at all for some reason. I couldn't find them anywhere in the MIDI file. So the intro is just BD and Snare and a few crashes here and there. So it just seems like an blatant omission or am I missing something?
Great job Nolly!!! I like pro guys like you who are passionate, talented, hard working and visionaire!!! Congrats!! Cheers, Jeroen Simons, Independent, ex - Epica.
29:09 You mentioned that you added Saturn to all individual toms with the same exact setting. Could you just put only one Saturn to the Tom bus to achieve the same result?
Just wanna say, Hail Stan is one of the best mixed albums of it's kind in my opinion. I've been using many of those tracks as reference tracks for my own mixes. Great video, cheers!

It is placed strangely, i agree. It worked for me setting up a new Project with 170 BPM. Drag and drop the Audio files Place the MIDI Files to position (Time Position 1:0:9:6) example is in Logic Watch out. There are 2 Midi Files if i drag the one attached .mid file to Logic Pro X, one is programmed to Channel 10 Midi. Change your Kontakt Player to Midi Host Channel 10 and you can hear the Correct Drums to the Audio. Hope it will work for you. Regards Holger
Drum midi hits arent working, the kit itself has sound. Its the right drum map, and if i click in a hit adjacent it picks up. So confused, will redownload and see that works
Nolly's lessons are always so straight forward and easy to understand...just awesome. One question though,when or why is he using the regular channel EQ and not just always the Fab Q3?
Hi Nolly just listened to Architects you mixed really quietly through my Dynaudios i'm amazed how massive the drums are at that volume can i get it not even close !!!! Could you give any tips please i can get them big but they are on another level. Hope thats ok to ask many thanks Nino
I would say one of the biggest things to help anyone with drum sound… nobody really says it outright but…distortion. It is used on drums. It’s pretty lightly and it is meticulously catered to each drum… and people just refer to it as “saturation” and in logic “exciter”… and other things… but it’s light distortion. Generally just don’t distort the whole kit… and don’t distort hard nor on the low end really. But it can really really help cymbals and snares that need some power and clarity. Also if you need some slosh or voice or character in your kick… use a touch of it in your high mids and you will pull out some voice. Sometimes using really light distortion after reverb will help (or hurt) the character as well. Experiment. It’s important. Plenty of people would immediately be adverse to the idea of “distortion” on drums. But any good sounding record… it’s almost certainly there to some degree. Even if it’s simply from analogue saturation… that’s essentially just light distortion. Don’t be afraid of it. But just learn what’s appropriate and what works for your own sound. I like cymbals… especially hats that have a meanness in the 8khz area. I would never get it without a touch of saturation.
Yo Nolly!!! Those Eric Valentine videos are OG. They are so trustable and intuitive. Brilliant job as always.. I hear you saying fast attack a lot BTW. Interesting
Logic users: change drag to "overlap", use cmd-J to join the two MIDI tracks together. For some reason it separates the snare from other pieces of the kit, so once you copy the mapping JPG join the 2 together and you should be good to go!
How can I get every part of the drum mixer ( like the one in ggd) on the DAW’s mixer ? I can’t figure out how and it seems very practical for precise processing.
It would be great if someone could share a midi drumtrack that doesn't separate into 2 tracks. That happens in Reaper, and some other DAWs based on the comments.
How the bloody hell do you convert GGD OKW Aggressive Rock to individual audio tracks for mixing!? I can't find anything anywhere on youtube for it... Thank you
So, uh... any official instruction on how to actually import this? Midi stems (two drum midi tracks?) don't line up, and no matter how you align it they don't work in all sections of the song.
Nolly if you are listening or anybody with the knowlegde; Can you tell me what makes the snare have so much reverb/room? Its not the Room bus for sure, adding too much of this is destroying the mix, and having too much Top/bottom snare gets it too close. HELP!
como hago para darle a cada cuerpo de la batería de get good drums su canal personal para trabajar individualmente desde kontackt 6?, trabajo con cubase y no logro descubrirlo.
The midi files are all over the place. I'm using logic and it opens multiple midi tracks with no tempo...what a bummer. I wish they had an option to get a midi track compatible with superior drummer, remapping by hand isn't working out too well.
That trick with the ff saturn on the toms sounds incredible! I wish I had enough money for plugins. Doing music tech course for my a levels and just had enough to buy the p4 kit as a first paid plug-in.
yeah its made to be loaded in GGD. I tried to loading in Steven Slate Drums and it was a mess. And the Temp map doesn't work either. If anyone could make a Multi track of the drums if you have GGD that would be awesome!
@@gankytime7 You just have to map it yourself. There's a mapping layout in the midi folder Unfortunatly superior drummer 3 uses midi numbers not notes so I gotta convert it On ez drummer I think it's midi notes like slate so that's easy. Just read the picture and write the note in your plugin
@@escalator9734 yeah I just gave up and deleted it off the computer. Thought itd be fun to play around with and remix but I guess if you really want to play with it you gotta either buy GGD or buy the album stems from their website.
Whenever I import the drum MIDI file into my daw, Logic automatically creates a SoCal track and weirdly a Steinway Grand Piano track. Any advice on how to fix this? I would really appreciate it. @GetGoodDrums
Guys, question on the snare - I don´t own the Waves L2 Maximiser. Can I just use the Fabfilter L instead? I mean at the end of the day the difference the L2 makes is suttle, but when I learned one thing from Nolly than it is that these minor, suttle changes do ad up to achieve the final sound. Thx
fuckin a. I really enjoy your teaching man please keep doing these tutorials. I do most of these things anyway but its nice to have a little validation of my own work and to also learn some new things as well.
Hey Brandon! Sorry to hear about your issues - the only thing I can figure is to make sure the MIDI's for the snare are triggered at a velocity of 117 or so. I imported my own personal MIDI role and had the same issue because my velocities were a good ways off of his. He definitely organized this MIDI like it was Matt playing - who hits super hard and consistent. Hope this helps!
@@BrandonHartOfficial thanks for the reply! I finally got a good tone out of it. Using parallel compression and some eq and reverb. Not the tone that's in the vid per say but I'm happy with it.
I understand that this is a GGD masterclass, but how can I get the midi file to work with Superior Drummer? There are three midi files and none of them seems to be a proper drums track.
Awesome as always! Just a question guys: did you ever think to make a full in-depth course about mixing metal? You know, there are lot of guys out there (like me) who want to produce their own material, and of course, they want to follow trusted professional figures like you. I imagine a course with all the mixing choices explained as well as the entire worflow. It would be reeeeally great!
That's great! Just a question, Nolly: you mix using the top-down approach, perfect. So, why did you start the drum processing from the individual tracks instead of the drums bus?
The way I understand it is his top down approach does what a mastering engineer would do so it's more about the entire mix. Plus a top down mix approach to the drum bus is gonna be super tough with the range of sounds you get out of a kit, so it makes more sense to dive into the individual tracks and shape from there. I personally only have a bus compressor on my drum bus, nothing else.
Using the Invasion Kit in Logic and for the life of me can't find that particular MIDI window; The standard one seems to only let me type in 8th notes; The one featured here is much more detailed. Any help? Thanks!

@@BrandonHartOfficial thanks for the reply! I finally got a good tone out of it. Using parallel compression and some eq and reverb. Not the tone that's in the vid per say but I'm happy with it.
P5 mixing masterclass when?🥺
on yhe end sounds massive , perfect ;)
I understand that this is a GGD masterclass, but how can I get the midi file to work with Superior Drummer? There are three midi files and none of them seems to be a proper drums track.
Awesome as always! Just a question guys: did you ever think to make a full in-depth course about mixing metal? You know, there are lot of guys out there (like me) who want to produce their own material, and of course, they want to follow trusted professional figures like you. I imagine a course with all the mixing choices explained as well as the entire worflow. It would be reeeeally great!
There is actually a full lesson from nolly on Nail the Mix working on prayer position from scratch
I m not able to download the stems.....The link doesnt work?
This guy has Dark Souls in his Last name.Beast.
That's great! Just a question, Nolly: you mix using the top-down approach, perfect. So, why did you start the drum processing from the individual tracks instead of the drums bus?
The way I understand it is his top down approach does what a mastering engineer would do so it's more about the entire mix. Plus a top down mix approach to the drum bus is gonna be super tough with the range of sounds you get out of a kit, so it makes more sense to dive into the individual tracks and shape from there. I personally only have a bus compressor on my drum bus, nothing else.
Is there any drum reverb processing done?
The download link to get the free stems isn’t on there anymore. Can anyone hook it up??
I found it in an email from GGD. Might check there?
this is amazing. What if I don’t have fabfilter pro eq, can I use any other eq and just copy the curve?
Stock Logic and Cubase plugins are actually really good
Wow, thank you for all this.
anyone able to get the midi to line up in reaper?
Did you ever solve this issue? It's driving me nuts.
Nope. I gave up in the end lol.
Using the Invasion Kit in Logic and for the life of me can't find that particular MIDI window; The standard one seems to only let me type in 8th notes; The one featured here is much more detailed. Any help? Thanks!
Use the step editor
