you have some of the best and most practical content. the void between lick it and stick it creators with 10 hot tips and the people nerding out in protools is vast. i feel like your info is both easy to understand and replicate but also isnt bait into even more tail chasing and having to unlearn new bad habits. the trick of taking the notes from the melody and putting it into a drum rack is so damn simple but i never thought of doing that..i bet it works great for basslines and kicks too in the genres of breaks i tend to work with
At 37:30 of your great Video and expainations, I thougt it would be helpful, just to autmate an Ableton EQ or the Sidechain Ducking, so that the Transiation Pad only "ducks" the other Pads, when the Transient Pad appears. But nvertheless....great Video and thanks for your great work!
i do use 4:00 the utility on each channel for gaining processing try it out it will mainly help you out to leave the channel volume on each the same. Btw. i realy needed a tutorial like this to come back kindly to my remix i do for someone, thank you for that.
i really liked content like these.. thank you. I would really love to see a video where you talk about the arrangement of a track or an idea. for me its the most difficult part to tell the "story" right.
Hi Yalcin, I have been in the music business for a very long time but i always want to learn more about the approach different producers take to overcome certain situations. I told you how I woke up paralysed over two years ago and that i have been in hospital and rehab for all that time. Well the point I'm getting to is..... No matter what you put out on RUclips I watch. I think your a great guy and I want to thank you on behalf of myself and all the people that watch your posts. Thank you, and keep up your exceptional contribution to the world of music. One day when I'm better. I would love to come and shake you by the hand and buy you a beer. Thank you. Danny
@@Alice-Efe I can assure you that you wont have to remind me about a beer my friend as that would be the leased I could do . You have been like medicine keeping me focused on the music rather than my situation. Im getting stronger day by day and it won't be long (I truly hope) before I'm back in the studio. You are a legend and i feel personally indebted to you so i hope one day i will be able to repay that debt. It's worth more than a beer my friend.Trust me! Danny UK
Struggled a couple of years with my mixing. Never found a course especially for electronic music and that was so straight forward like this 45mins dive-in. Thanks for that. Sub & Like well deserved, Sir.
I quit music production. 👍 Too complex to dish out good tracks. There's so much information on the internet that I whatever I do turns out crap. But you're amazingly talented. Good for u
Only recently discovered this channel. Must say the content and the application of techniques and applications is just amazing. Thanks for demystifying alot of this common challenges.👍🙂
Really like this one!! You explain every discission, wich makes it super interesting. Maybe you can do one more with a more complicated track?? For me, it can last 5 hours!! 😁 For sidechaining the pad to de bass, you could use eq (hp) on the incoming signal of the compressor to capture the hit of the bass more. Thnx a lot and keep on going with this chanel!! 👍🏻
Excellent video. Thanks. Re: your -6db for the kick as a starting/guide position being a standard with engineers... is this particular to this genre? If you change the focal instrument and starting db value depending on the focus of the track/genre, how do you determine the appropriate db value? Thanks.
Please , write down what Yalcin teaches you in this video. This information is Essential ! The -6 db kick is a important trick and Yalcin knows i messed up there recenlty 🙈 My unmastered remix , was peaking to loud , to be mastered without clipping. (Had to do , with a master kick chain) If i had use the 6-db trick it would saved me a lot of time.
I thought about a consistent way to do this recently. I measured a bunch of well mixed house and techno tracks using a LUFS meter, setting each in a busy section to -18 LUFS. I then checked where the kick peaked, using a spectrum analyser to find the kick fundamental (the loudest part of the kick). I found that depending on the track, the kick could be peaking anywhere from -18dbfs (softer housier tracks with vocals, Peggy Gou in this case) to -12dbfs (a club style loud mixdown, in this case Pryda). It seemed to line up with the genre and intensity of the track. Tracks with a softer edge where the vocal or melody was the focus had lower peaking kicks and club bangers had higher. From now on, I ballpark my kick fundamental to peak at -15 dbfs, then mix my track to be overall at -18 LUFS in a similarly busy section to those used in my test reference tracks. This gives me pretty consistent results, makes sure I'm not clipping the master and gives me clues as to when my mix is getting too dense or when my track is getting too loud relative to the kick (in both cases, the LUFS rating creeps up). As a bonus, my monitors are calibrated to sit at around 85 SPL when my output is hitting -18 LUFS internally, making sure that I'm working with the flattest possible frequency response (Google 'Fletcher Munson Curve' for more info on why working at 80-85 SPL is best for mixing)
@@djvoid1 your right , the kick doesnt has to be the focus of a mixdown. Important for all tracks, is that you choose the elements that will be dominant in the mix. Meanly the -6db reference is usefull when producing club based tracks. The kick is gonna be the focus (the core) , so that is the main element . I use the kv-14 scale in span , but i noticed that the -6 db setting is the easy way. Btw i like your artist name ....lol
I have the problem when I set my kick to -6 db that my master will start to clip sooner or later as I'm stacking my other elements. Not sure what to do, can someone give a tip?
Hmm... mixing to -6db. So... a nice tutorial would be about gain staging before the plugins (-18db??) then to -6db at the channel or master? Particularly, many channel strip modeling plugins some distortions ask for -18db (often mentioned in the manual) I never hear people commenting on this... I think it’s a valuable topic - most of us overdrive our plugins & never actually hear what they’re designed to achieve Do you know much about this? Is it common among plugins to be designed around -18db input? Or just strip models? I came across this info first time using vumt- a nice VU meter - it has a-18 setting, so I dived in the manual & found out why. In practice I found distortions sounded rich & silky instead of broken & angry. Try it out - I’d love to hear your comments
my man thanks for keeping it most of it Ableton stuck plugins. Much appreciated. Im planning cleaning my mix as much as I can and then send it to LANDR for mastering, what do you think about it?
Another brilliant video mate. Can I ask a question? I mix differently; i do it as i go along. I mix each part before i add anything new, then mix the new part with what's already there. Is this a terrible way to work?
Hey, thank you for this tutorials - they helps a lot to people like us!!! can i ask you - what type of computer you are using? mac or pc. and mostly - what processor power you have on your arsenal? i am having hard time to finish a track - my cpu meter hits 100% when i put all of the plugins (stock, ableton), and specially the sidechain!!!...
When getting kick ti -6db I can see that your master channel is also on -6db, yet the Span still shows around -6db. If I lower the master to -6db and kick to 6db then I get -12... so confused on how you can have master on -6 :) What am I missing here?
When you send your final mix off to a mastering engineer (or master it yourself) a lot of headroom is required so that the engineer can add compression and limiting without having to worry about clipping or distortion. Mastering's main goal is to "glue" the track together and make it louder. However, it can also drastically change the tone and feel of the song. -6 dB is the industry standard for what your mix should be prior to mastering so that there's leeway for loudness maximising and limiting. Many people then like to master to -0.1 or -0.3 but I've always favoured mastering to -1.0 and -9 LUfS (A lot of people go for -14LUFS but that topic deserves and essay of its own)
Okay, but this isn't a muddy track. I'm trying to make a rock cover, and it is very muddy. This isn't muddy. The notes are all placed appropriately, no long reverbs, not much in the way of muddy frequencies. Kind of hard to apply this to a remix.
For me you killed the track in a bad way. You changed the whole emotions. Sure, your kick and bass are more clean. For me the original sounds richer as whole, if you ignore the phase problems and the gain from the pads which they are loud and needed a bit eq. But you went really crazy cutting here cutting there and this is not mixing, this is I am going produce a new song and not really understanding the artist. With fewer words you proceed into the track more like a producer than a mix engineer. Some things you did are right and make sense but you clean everything so much that there is no life in it. You really like to use Sidechain everywhere in your low ends and cutting lows like a reaper and thats also an issue.

How have your mixing skills improved in the last year? Any tips?
nice job!
track is sick
hey ! i can't find the echo effect, is it a special effect or do i have it on ableton by default ? thanks
this is golden
You left the low end on the arp... do you not need to take it away to make way for the low end???
I have the problem when I set my kick to -6 db that my master will start to clip sooner or later as I'm stacking my other elements. Not sure what to do, can someone give a tip?
Did this ever become a complete track? It definitely should!
Do you do a room reverb for most the tracks? Or did I miss it? Cool sounds by the way.

Send it to Yalcin Bro
Just to avoid misconceptions: phase cancellation of 1.00 doesn't mean there is no side information. cheers.
main arp works like main lead?
Thanks à lot yalcin
can you name those drum packs that you use ? really digging them
what the name of daw software you use ???
Another brilliant video mate. Can I ask a question? I mix differently; i do it as i go along. I mix each part before i add anything new, then mix the new part with what's already there. Is this a terrible way to work?
It is completely ok to do so. It can just take a bit longer time until you complete the overall composition. Do the way it feels natural for you.

totally different :)
What about a sequel and master it 🧐
What about a space and reverb? your tracks are more wide than this!
this is such a beginner tutorial. nobody uses a compressor anymore to sidechain the kick or the sub
whats with all the edits its frying my brain
but the content is great btw
