Great video again! I’d like to add checking / being wary of DC offset and phase rotation, which can steal a good bunch of headroom. The difficulty is that you don’t hear the difference really on a single sound, but only when compressing and limiting, but you can have several dBs difference on the +/- sides of the waveform, because the sample, or a part of it can have rogue peaks, say at -2dB on one side side and -10dB on the other. Correcting this would make it -6dB on both sides, so you’d get 4dB more headroom. Especially old sample CD one-shots have the static DC offset or the phase rotation all over the place.
I found this channel yesterday and I have watched like 15 tutorials already. You seem to really know what you‘re doing and those tips and tricks help me a lot to understand whats going on in music production. Never stop making these videos!
I've always wondered what a good way to solve this problem is. I used to add a clipper on my snare, and then the bus channel where snare and kick combine, clip it again, but sometimes that doesn't work out so well. I like this approach. Thanks for the Fab Filter L2 instructions on how to achieve this. Will definitely use! Thanks
totally with you on that! i usually try both. i loveeee cliipping but sometimes the distortion is unwanted/unpleasant on kick and snare. Limiters come in handy in these cases. Happy this able to help 👊❤️
I love the 1-1 limiting tip; havent used it on drums yet but on drop synths combined with a really good sidechain u can get a clean loud drop without it sounding getting over-compressed/limited🔥
Absolutely!! With drums clippers are usually really good too…but with kicks specifically they can cause noticeable distortion which isn’t always wanted. That’s why in this case the limiter was used…a bit more transparent!
I’m Usually too lazy to comment or don’t have time on 99% of videos ! Just discovered your content ! Been producing 15 years …wow , your stuff is great so far ! Keep It up !
Hey Moose! I hate to say it but this is possibly one of the best videos on the subject I have seen, and I am hunting the essence of this for a while now. Please thank your employee for such a great effort and tell him he can give you an extra snack from me, and have one for himself! I have been watching this a number of times now and will keep coming back to nail this once and for all!! I have come across many suggestions as to how to do this-but this is really straight forward 🙏🤩🧃
after spending a couple of years trying to learn mixing through countless videos, i can say your tutorials are probably the best ive come across (finally!!!!). Subbed, and lookin forward to more
It is very important. I try to make sure that according to the analyzer, the loudest element is kick. There is another way to reduce the volume of kick + snare to get less limiting. This is to try changing the decay snare to a maximum of "+ - 5" milliseconds, and see at what numbers the volume decreases.
Super thankful to come across your channel. Yahll genuinely out here wanting to drop gems on topics in music production that’s I’ve been struggling with for awhile. Excited to apply the new tips. P.S. oh & shout out to moose! ❤
This channel is gonna be so big, it's gonna have like 500k subs and crazy videos even better than these. Thanks for the great content, love watching great producers workflow.
This is a great video. I don't think phase interaction and flipping the phase of sounds or different instruments interacting in the same frequency spectrum gets talked about enough.
Zack agrees with you…but you’re talkin to moose right now! I hate this tip. I think it stinks. I’d rather go to the park then use this on my kick and snare! -Moose
Great tip! I have been struggling with this one. I guess the only question I have is how do I incorporate this into my current way I group. I typically group all the drums together minus the kick and then group the kick and bass. I suppose I would have to move away from grouping the kick and bass together?
Thanks! Happy it can help! As far as routing and grouping I totally know what you mean...there are SO many ways to go about processing! I wish I had a great answer for you but I really dont 😅 You can always do sub groups, or sum all 3 together. There's no real right / wrong way. Its more about trying to solve the problem (if it exists) with the many options we have! I'd recommend trying a few different options in terms of your routing/grouping to see what gets you to the best sound, while solving the problem ❤️👊
I was looking for this question as well. I dont think pro's actually group kick and snare together (or even more stuff that is playing at the same time). I guess you just want to compress the snare? I really like this vid but I also can not incorporate this into my workflow.
Great video! Sorry moose 😂 I have a question tho. With limiting the Kick and Snare together, does that mean the kick will lose its energy when the snare hits too? How does this translate in the final mix? Will every kick in the kick snare combo be weaker than the kick alone creating an off set of energy in the kick?
Thank you very much for the insight. Just one question: How do you group kick and bass then if needed or wanted? What if I also want to do group processing on e.g. kick, sub, bass like compression, pultec effect etc. like many other tutorials suggest...
A gamechanger plugin for the phase correlation issue between two sounds is Fuser by Mastering The Mix, especially when working with samples where you‘re otherwise bound to just being able to phase-flip instead of having all phase options available.
Great video! Maybe a stupid question, but I tend to have the snare in my drum buss, which I process too. Should I just route the snare to both the kicksnare and drum buss in parallel, or would this still create unwanted side-effects?
thank you!! you can do groups within groups if you'd like! ill do this a lot where ill have certain elements grouped together (like kick and snare) but then that group is within the overall drum group. know what i mean? 👊❤️
@@TheCosmicAcademy Yes, I do that too a lot, especially when layering. However, that implies that my kick is also in the overall drum buss, which I don't want as it should not receive the same processing. How would you deal with that?
Such a useful video thank you so much! I'm a little concerned about using my hardware Neutron and Minilogue now though as on Serum you can adjust these details where as Hardware synths? Maybe I can EQ cut the low on the synth to shift the phase do you feel that is a decent work around?
Hey man what can I use to visualize the kick and snare part in FL studio? Span? thanks, came across your FAST simplified mixing tutorials late last night and you are a god send, no intimidating hour long videos to get bored and give up, fast videos in parts. Makes it seem so easy and you answered the questions of my 10+ year problems why Iv almost gave up hundreds of times!

It still blows my mind how clearly you explain these things. Seriously the best production/mixing teacher out there.
♥️♥️ appreciate you Farbod!! Means a lot and always happy when these things can click / make sense!! 👊
I feel bad for the producers that haven't discovered him yet. progress went 📈📈📈📈🚀🙌

you FINALLY made me understand how to approach phase issues after 10+ years of producing music. Thank you!
Hahaha let’s gooo!! You’re very welcome! - Happy that you’re able to use this! 👊
This is great info. Shout outs to Moose!
Hahaha moose says “sup” ♥️👊
This is one of the most important mixing tips I’ve seen in a long time, thank you
Glad it was helpful! ♥️
This is what all production videos should aspire to be.
I really appreciate you saying that hahhaa as a tutorial watcher myself I tryyyyy to make these as direct/valauble as possible. so thank you!! 👊❤️
The phase switch trick is incredible. What an incredile video!
Thanks Sam! ♥️👊 glad you enjoyed it
I forgot to flip the phase on certain sounds! Good tip
Happy to help!
That phase flip trick is nuts, as a new producer I’m definitely going to try this
Happy it can help!!
actually good advice
♥️👊 thanks!!
Moose, please don’t be so hard on Zack! I love this video. Also, you are a good boi. 😊

phase flip was great. i glue > clip > limit a bit. soft clipping groups helps too

Thank youuuu!!! Appreciate you big time 👊
You can also move the snare slightly forwards or backwards so the snare-kick transients don't sum at the same time
Absolutely!
Or even combine the two :) so phase-invert, bounce and then move forwards or backwards.
Learning this was a game changer for my mixes. Definitely recommend this to other producers! 💯

really helped!! Thanx
This was eye opening !
Also Moose is wrong this video is great 😂
