I am Samzi Bumerey from Nigeria. I am a Producer/Mixing and Mastering Engineer ..Thank you so much for your tutorials....you have totally change my mixing process for the best ...... I am grateful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥳
This video was waaaay better than a lot of other gain staging videos. I've followed other videos through a process and have ended up doing a ton of work for little to no mix improvement. This helps me understand it and will allow me work through the impacts of making adjustments to tracks after I'm already in the mixing process. Thanks Austin!
It must be gain staging season, I’ve been learning and relearning about it a lot recently. The level matching section was really profitable to me. Thanks Austin!
Is there a way to tell from Logic Pro X if the vocal take you just recorded was clipping at all on the way in on your interface? Or is your DAW always only showing you the level it’s playing at in your DAW? It’s not always easy to look at the level meter on my SSL 2+ at the same time that I’m singing.
I think a cool tutorial would be on how to make a song in the style of the early 2010's boy band songs. Easy examples being: NSYNC Backstreet Boys A modern example would be the fake boy band created by FINNEAS, 4 Town.
Good insights! Just wondering how you treat for example a vet instrument using Native Instruments Kontakt? Would you set the level within the actual plugin (output) or do you add a gain plugin on the channel?
Hey, awesome instructional video! I have a question. I want to get the same desk, but I was wondering where I would place my mic. Can you send a link to your mic stand? I don't think it's attached to the desk right?
I've mixed a lot of bad vocals and this is a good video for all artists recording themselves especially when it comes to the noise floor and clipping. I either get vocals heavily clipped in the chorus (and while Izotope Declipper is great, it can only do so much) or they are so quite that the noise is insane and i have to finesse it all day to try to balance it out and still the vocals will either be super muted and lack high end or have an annoying hiss throughout.
Absolutelyyyy. If artists are tracking themselves, I always ask them to send me a 30 second test before they track an entire song and then need to re-do it because the multis are ass. Hahaha
They were printed as a stereo track but they’re still up the middle (so mono). They were recorded mono from the artist and then bounced as a stereo multi track. It doesn’t really matter either way in Cubase. I assume they did it because lots of the vocals had panning and stereo fx printed on them.
I think recording a LOUD and DISTORTED signal is way, way worse than an QUIET signal. We see that with the rise of (AI) noise reduction plug-ins, (Like RX and the new Waves one) many noise floor problems are now solvable. In the near future, we may even clean-up and mix tracks that were considered unusable for years.
I always gain stage each track its good pro practise. Does it matter in the long run. Yes it will have a slightly better outcome. You are only producing the track one

Never thought about Level Matching. Awesome video like always
U actually answer the questions that everyone else overlooks ❤ got my sub

Clearly the best video on gain staging. Thanks for covering the info that matters.
Great video! Thanks for simplifying gain staging, i love how you demystify those concepts! Keep it up
I will love to see you do a Mastering tutorial...that will be amazing
You'll be happy to know that we have been collaborating with a top level mastering engineer for upcoming videos about mastering 😉
I am super excited 😩😩😊😊😊😊😊
I can't wait any longer notification at super loud
Finally a Good video about this, I don’t know if you noticed but there is „fight“ about this on RUclips rn and everyone is saying something different

Would love to see this using logic

I love that you use Cubase, makes a change from all the ableton videos
Cubase til I dieeeeee
@@MakePopMusic damn right! On my tomb stone it won’t have my age it’ll just have the current version of Cubase
I am in a process of switching from ableton to cubase. It's very complex switch but also an amazing expierience.
@@jackc8120 Cubase will serve you well, it’s the Swiss Army knife of DAWS
Thankyou sir Austin dives can't afford big classes and corses online but your style and approach have help me a lot.god bless...

Great video as always, could you make a video in the style of Joji?
This is what I been looking for a minute now all I need is a very descriptive 808 mixing video to get a loud but punchy and clear mix solid video!!!
Look through this channel. He’s made one already!
@@mjk5254 oh yeah thanks hope it answers my questions like this one thanks for the response
Thank you this tutorial. Lots of love from Nepal.
Thankyou so much! This channel means the world to me ♥️
can you do a tutorial on how to do songs like alina baraz, sabrina claudio etc? kinda like ethereal rnb

Great video, Austin! Where did you turn oversampling on in Cubase?
Hi austin! Do you do mix reviews by any chance? I wanna get some input from you
thank you so much for making this video!
I love your videos 💙
Great vid!
Great video Austin 👍🏼
thanks for all tutorial
Do you recommend recording into a Limiter with no gain so you don’t clip?
Do u ever peak normalize your individual track audio to its peaking at the same levels before your start turn mixing?
Awesome bro, just awesome 🙂
Link to song used in this vid?

Please teach us how to use fl studio app for beginners to make professional sounding music
It's the same as Cubase, just different workflow.
watching your videos on .75x speed make it more enjoyable. Another super helpful video.
I’m really trynna understand something …how come your vocals are stereo and not mono? Didn’t you record them as mono?
They were printed as a stereo track but they’re still up the middle (so mono). They were recorded mono from the artist and then bounced as a stereo multi track. It doesn’t really matter either way in Cubase. I assume they did it because lots of the vocals had panning and stereo fx printed on them.
Came for the gain staging , stayed for the compression 😂

didnt you just put a limiter on?
finally.
