GREAT POINTS : 2:49 Most important thing , remove sibilance. It can be on cymbals as well and not just on vocals. Good Plugin dessers massey plugins, waves renaissance. 4:38 Reducing sibilance in 3-4k range. Humans can hear 3k very well. 8:56 350 - 600 or 800 Boxiness area. You want attack and air of kick drum not these low mids. 7:28 The 1k Range. Honky area. Nasal tone. Deficiency can make it sound hollow. 11:28 Decide low end emphasis. Kick heavy or Bass heavy mix ? boost 60 hz on kick then cut 60 on bass and boost 100 rather. 12:55 shelve high freq of electric guitar. 13:54 Distortion helps sound cut through. Brings clarity and presence. That is why People use Tape compression. 16:33 Compression can be used for tone shaping. Multi band compressors and limiter. 18:11 too much compression on cymbals can weaken the mix. Over Heads or room mics over compression can do that. 19:23 right way of compressing is get your attack and release correct. Release = length of note that is there. Same with reverb , it should last till the next important beat. 25:22 using vst such as superior drummer still needs gating because these vsts have a longer decay for toms which can muddy the mix. 28:07 High Pass Almost Everything . Low end is occupied by only two instruments, bass and kick. 31:21 Dont be afraid to use compression on your mix bus. 37:00 Guitars cutting through = more mids. Certain people add 3k other take it away like Eric valentine. 38:00 Parallel compression. Old days, people used to talk more about but now mix knob is there. Use mix knob. Blend the sound.
"Mixing is an art." I am grateful to all the engineers I have worked with for knowing more than me and still letting me sit in and talk about what I can hear and what I'd like. Listening to them tell me and show me what they are doing broadened my knowledge immensely just like listening to you Rick. I am grateful for the plethora of engineering knowledge you share here, especially the clip on compression.
Honestly, when I see a video that's more than 30 minutes long I usually pass on watching it, but I figure I can at least check out the first ten minutes or so. With Rick Beato vids that usually means I wind up watching the whole thing. There is a staggering amount of information in these vids.
I was literally going to say if Rick put a 12 hr video I would friggin watch the whole thing atleast once . No other channel has my attention or confidence like this one.
I think that's also true of people who just sit and talk into the camera. Most RUclipsrs who do that get boring in about 30 seconds, but Rick doesn't. He reminds me of some of my best college profs.
Whether it you are teaching music, or recording- I LOVE how you teach, without 'holding back' or making teachings sound harder, than they actually are, or making things into sound like some of mystery. I'm VERY grateful, for ALL your teachings! THANK YOU!!!
Here's a quick tip I didn't hear ref de-essing. The closer the vocalist is to the mic, and the SOFTER they are singing, you are, in general, going to need more de-essing than you would if they were back a bit and singing more loudly. This is because the volume of the consonants doesn't change too much when speaking softly or loudly so... the relative volume of the S sounds or CH sounds DROPS when singing louder and you get the idea. Just add a de-ess plugin (simplest way, who does side chain anymore?) and solo the plugin so you can home in on the most annoying freq range of that CH sound or whatever. Then compress it down some. Don't auto-gain it! It'll shove the vol right back up. Just compress and do not increase the volume of it. Lots of classic songs have vocals that are too sibilant. But if you compress the vocal a good bit and boost some highs via eq or aural exciter, you prob need to beat down those hissy S and CH sounds.
Another great instuctional video Rick. I cannot say enough about what you have taught me over the last 6 months. I am a veteran saxophonist and recently have morphed into a what I call a music creator. I do it all on Pro Tools; musician, composer, mixing and mastering. Generally, I play all of the instruments on my original songs. Thank you for all of your guidance. My music sounds great and I am confident with my engineering skills.... Learning new applications everyday. Thank you....
Glad you mentioned distortion. It was my secret when I was mixing jazz recitals for NTU seniors. A keyboard piano that sounded *too midi* made me try it, it worked and led to freq specific distortion to smooth harsh percussives. Real nice on double bass mics...
I wish you would have a time history in the details section. It's incredible information buried in a 40m segment. You're awesome and I love hanging and watching your videos, but sometimes I like to know where the info is as I'm very busy too. Thank you for your channel. Hugely informative!
Watched with my notebook. Paused many times to write stuff down. Like a lecture! HPF almost everything… Clear the space for the bass! P.s. YT threw so many ads at me during your video. It was like prime time TV. You are popular!
So many great tips here! It seems like way more than 5 haha! I should watch again and figure out exactly what the 5 MAIN points were lol! My takeaways (as they apply to my particular situations/shortcomings of my amateur projects): Make sure you you get a good sound out of each instrument (occupying the APPROPRIATE frequency range) at the tracking stage. This will make much less work when you have to mix since the instruments won't step on each other. Ex from Rick - Don't boost the same frequency in your kick drum and bass guitar Pay attention to the release aspect of compression. Beware of Superior Drummer's toms as they decay very slowly! Don't just use the defaults sounds (pitch too) and gate them as needed.
Just want to say what you are doing is fucking fantastic. You are a top guy giving us all this great information that you have collected throughout your life. Most people don`t want to give away knowledge this good but you are different. Wishing you and your family health and happiness. Thank you :)
I love this content! Thank you Rick. This has become very popular and the live chat has become distracting, I wish I could simply block it out but I haven't been able to do so, let's keep our live chat comments to the minimum and allow Rick to concentrate on the great content.
As a drummer I absolutely cannot agree more with balancing one's playing in the room. I used to bash the crap out of my highhat which of course bled all over the other drum tracks and consequently sounded out of balance and almost impossible to fix. I learned that hitting my cymbals and highhat softly compared to the other drums (especially the snare) was the way to go. It's like mic technique for a singer. Moongels help greatly with over ring rather than relying on gates alone.
Fantastic video. Rick! Just to add Re- bleeding drums. It’s important to remember that bleed can be used to advantage the overall drum sound so we don’t necessarily have to remove it completely.
Hi Sir, Thanks for your well explained classes. I've gone through your class describing the "Types of Compressors" which was too good for me kind of a person. Thanks again.
26:26 no need for gates in Addictive Drummer (or perhaps other plugins) because it has VOLUME envelopes for each drum! Just turn on the envelope, set your decay using the nodes in the envelope. Done. Same idea as a gate but really easier. You can SEE the decay because the curve of the volume envelope is a visual of how long it will last and when it slopes off! Great info in this vid but some hardcore audio examples would have made this way, way better. Not just descriptive examples as you did but audio examples people could hear. Otherwise, all great info.
One somewhat newish tone shaping option I didn't hear mentioned here, which I think didn't exist prior to the plug-in age (it would be very hard to do this via analog), is what's sometimes called a *character* EQ. This is an EQ that dynamically tracks the fundamental frequency of the source, and then does boosts or cuts *relative* to that fundamental. Whereas distortion/saturation adds new harmonic content to a signal, a character EQ adjusts the harmonic content that's already present, in a way that tracks the fundamental. E.g., instead of a fixed boost at, say, 700 Hz, which would alter the fundamental when the input signal has a 700 Hz pitch but the 2nd harmonic when the input signal has a 350 Hz pitch, a character EQ set to boost the 2nd harmonic would boost 700 Hz for an input pitch of 350 Hz, but 1400 Hz for an input pitch of 700 Hz. Such tracking/character EQs are designed for EQing a single, melodic source (not across the mix bus or on percussion, though one could be creative...). -Toml
It's an old video so I dunno if Rick will read this but here goes anyway: what are your tips for mixing a dense but lush genre like Shoegaze? How do you pan the effects? Do you record a hardware pedal board or rack effects unit through a DI and capture the sound via a mic to the amp? Or do you use plug in effects on a dry guitar? Any help is appreciated. Cheers!
Here's a good topic for you Rick. Setting up a PA for a live performance. You're loaded in, PA is powered on. You have a tight schedule. Where do you start and what is your workflow?
Thanks for the mixing lesson! I'm facing these things since a month ago or so, and understanding what I have to do when i record is very useful for getting decent results
When I was in college for recording engineering, a producer brought me a recording of a drum kit in which the cymbals sounded like gongs. They asked me if I could make them sound like normal cymbals... apparently I was the only person in the course who payed attention to the constant instruction to get it sounding good to tape - don't assume you can fix it in the mix!
@NoiseFeedMusic I have so many musicians come in, record, without any idea of what they want. then assume it can be fixed in post. even begging for a game plan from them is futile. perhaps some hearing loss or perhaps they should just sell shoes! lol...
Agreed. Fab Filter makes killer plugins. I have been using them since they first came out. Their gate has helped me fix some gnarly snare drums with hat bleed.
I remember awhile back you mentioned you like good ol raw acoustic guitar. The youtube channel natew101 has plenty of seattle grunge covers. He pours his soul into his songs. He kills Man in the box, and Jeremy especially.
Given current life circumstances I use Superior Drummer for writing songs. I also use amp sims for guitar and bass. I would pay for an in depth "How To" type of video for getting Superior Drummer sounding top notch.
Rick Beato, can you do a video one how to write a fugue and explain what fugues are. As a techno producer with basic understanding of harmony. I don’t believe this has been something explored in electronic music, other then recreations of Bach.
The EZ drummer tomtoms, as well as the cymbal hits, have indeed a way to long decay and these definitely need treatment. However, at the end of a song, I like that long decay. As the matter of fact, even when the drums are live, I often use that long decay as a sample and place it at the end of the song so that in the mastering I can make a nice relative long fadeout. Obviously, this only can be done if the song ends after a drum fill.
On point with the tape compression Rick. I just started using a tape plugin on pretty much everything, and even though its subtle, it adds up at the end of the mix
Rick, sir i have a question i would like your son to answer.. i think only a perfect ear Can answer to this One and you did an awesome job perfecting your son's.. DOES MUSICAL KEY ACTUALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN THE SONG RESONATION IN HUMAN BRAINS? for example, a Song played in Dm Is ACTUALLY differen from the same song played in Bm? Same intervals? Or is It only for the purpous of the Singer vocal range to choose the Key of a Song? Thank you very much if you could make a video of It that would Be AWESOOOMMMEE!!! :) :)
Any advice using a Samsung tablet mic lol? We have actually had pretty good success. We just got a mixer to help balance and, clean up our sound for future recording. We record live jams, I will take any advice on improving capture capability! Love your vids! Most helpful! You're a really good teach!
@@RickBeato dude you're awesome and I felt like a douche saying that.. props to you for your channel.. I found out about you via Pete's channel.. you're so generous with your experience and knowledge.
I use superior drummer all of the time. However... to Rick's point... sculpting the sound for your track is important. In my opinion... the Progressive kit is exceedingly useful. There is soooo much in there. Definitely near the top of the list for samples.
@NoiseFeedMusic I feel more encouraged when getting information. I'm pretty sure that great engineers and producers seek to improve just as much as anyone else.
@@davidcombs97 I think the tips he gives regarding using EQ and compression in this video would be helpful for both of those problems. Giving things room to sit in their own frequency range will help things sit together without them masking each other. Master bus compression (and track compression where applicable) will raise overall volume when the make-up gain is applied.
I'm still waiting for a reputable software developer to introduce a personal hearing profile calibration, compensating for each and everyone's personal hearing profile. Largest problem is that you need to test the hearing first. But not impossible and maybe something that at least mixing engineer pros would benefit from.
corner liston yeah, as it is, you gotta make sure you run it by other people to get their impression of the sound profile, not only what they think of the music itself
for the home composer/producer, how important are third-party plug-ins? are in the-house plug-ins (in, say, cubase) good enough to do pro work with? cheers
@NoiseFeedMusic, I suspect you're not there yet yourself and your hearing is still perfect up to 20 kHz. However, think about how you're going to mix music in, say, 20 years when your ears aren't that perfect anymore. Curiously, some of the world's best producer are way beyond 50 years old and their hearing is certainly no longer as keen as it once was. I am very interested to know how they can still do their job.
Thanks so much Rick! So many things you say are the same as what Warren Huart says in Produce Like A Pro. I owe you so much from introducing me to him through your interview with him! EQing the Reverb is a really nice trick as well!
Hi Rick. I’m having trouble working out the chords for the soundtrack my sisters keeper the end title and was hoping you might do a video on it as I think it’s quite difficult cheers
Thank you Rick! I'm currently mixing my record and it was like you were talking directly to me lol. I learned some things from this video and you also confirmed a lot of the things I know/do.
Does it bother anyone else that Rick has created an infinite loop between the window reflecting his recording on the computer which is reflecting back on the window which is reflecting back to the computer?
Paweł Mąciwoda is Scorpions' bassist since 2003 and he was at the chat during livestream, look closely. I recognized him because on his channel there's Mąciwoda's solo project Stirwater, check it out

I watched the whole thing and was sad when it ended. I need more!
I’m watching this in 10 minute increments. I can also take it in better that way!
Thank you, Rick. As a long time musician but a rookie DIY recording engineer, your video lessons have been invaluable.
Whether it you are teaching music, or recording- I LOVE how you teach, without 'holding back' or making teachings sound harder, than they actually are, or making things into sound like some of mystery. I'm VERY grateful, for ALL your teachings! THANK YOU!!!
wow, reducing the drums sustain to bpm was a thunderbolt from heaven.
That point about cutoff points for mixing. Always used it while producing/playing, never thought about it in the context of mixing. Mindblown.
Here's a quick tip I didn't hear ref de-essing. The closer the vocalist is to the mic, and the SOFTER they are singing, you are, in general, going to need more de-essing than you would if they were back a bit and singing more loudly.

But if you compress the vocal a good bit and boost some highs via eq or aural exciter, you prob need to beat down those hissy S and CH sounds.
all i do is highlight the sibilance areas and turn the db down a few db, seems to work fine for me.

22:34 Thank you very much Rick! Extremely helpful. You're a god.🤙
As a studio engineer, one of my pet peeves was drummers who hit their cymbals too hard. Top studio drummers almost balance themselves.
I'd like to see you do one of these on mastering!
I have been trying to spreading the word of beato.

I really like the Fabfilter Pro DS de-esser. Actually all the Fabfilter stuff is top notch.
Agreed. Fab Filter makes killer plugins. I have been using them since they first came out. Their gate has helped me fix some gnarly snare drums with hat bleed.
Good info. I think the point about potential hearing loss and the addition of frequency analysis is well-taken.
Rick- just started following. Thanks so much for the good advice. I'm always looking to improve.
I remember awhile back you mentioned you like good ol raw acoustic guitar. The youtube channel natew101 has plenty of seattle grunge covers. He pours his soul into his songs. He kills Man in the box, and Jeremy especially.
Got the beato book!
Given current life circumstances I use Superior Drummer for writing songs. I also use amp sims for guitar and bass. I would pay for an in depth "How To" type of video for getting Superior Drummer sounding top notch.
Thank you a lot for your tips. Im in the middle of the recording of a new original song and you help me a lot with your tips. Best wishes - Dante
Rick Beato, can you do a video one how to write a fugue and explain what fugues are. As a techno producer with basic understanding of harmony. I don’t believe this has been something explored in electronic music, other then recreations of Bach.
Saludos desde Pelotiyehue.
Hey rick, wondering if you ever heard of the band sonata Arctica, if so would you ever do a “what makes this song great”?
As always, your information helps so much! Thank you. 👍🏻
Thanks Rick! tons of tips!
This is some great stuff!! Thanks again Rick!

Hello Rick! I really love your videos (especially your scale videos) and I would really like if you would make a video about Phrygian b4
This is a big help . thanks Rick.
Could you do tips on specifically live mixing? This was super helpful, and love the vid!
Any advice using a Samsung tablet mic lol? We have actually had pretty good success. We just got a mixer to help balance and, clean up our sound for future recording. We record live jams, I will take any advice on improving capture capability! Love your vids! Most helpful! You're a really good teach!

for the home composer/producer, how important are third-party plug-ins? are in the-house plug-ins (in, say, cubase) good enough to do pro work with? cheers
Hi Rick, I'd really appreciate a dedicated video on hearing loss, age-related and otherwise.
@NoiseFeedMusic, I suspect you're not there yet yourself and your hearing is still perfect up to 20 kHz. However, think about how you're going to mix music in, say, 20 years when your ears aren't that perfect anymore.
Curiously, some of the world's best producer are way beyond 50 years old and their hearing is certainly no longer as keen as it once was. I am very interested to know how they can still do their job.
I will do it and it will be interesting NoiseFeedMusic
Thanks so much Rick! So many things you say are the same as what Warren Huart says in Produce Like A Pro. I owe you so much from introducing me to him through your interview with him! EQing the Reverb is a really nice trick as well!
Very insightful on muting playing bass and balancing dynamics on drums!
thank you
So good
Hi Rick. I’m having trouble working out the chords for the soundtrack my sisters keeper the end title and was hoping you might do a video on it as I think it’s quite difficult cheers
Also worth mentioning... compression cannot be undone if it's burned in. Same thing with time based effects.
Hi Rick, great video! Just wondering, Is the mix bus the same as the master in my DAW?
Great video Rick
Larry in NJ watching
Thank you Rick! I'm currently mixing my record and it was like you were talking directly to me lol. I learned some things from this video and you also confirmed a lot of the things I know/do.
Does it bother anyone else that Rick has created an infinite loop between the window reflecting his recording on the computer which is reflecting back on the window which is reflecting back to the computer?
And you can see it on the computer if you look close lol
You talking about Dave Pensado and his AudioControl RTA?
I can mix 90% as well as any mixing engineer which is why I pay a mixing engineer to finish off my mixes and to do it properly.
谢谢你Rick
wow, Scorpions' bass player visited the chat
!!! where??
Paweł Mąciwoda, look at the chat window
Radio Żelaza what?
Paweł Mąciwoda is Scorpions' bassist since 2003 and he was at the chat during livestream, look closely. I recognized him because on his channel there's Mąciwoda's solo project Stirwater, check it out
You are a gem ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Next time you are mixing, I would like to hear your thoughts as you do it.
Early underoath recordings are a perfect example, the cymbals just become a hiss
Was watching a whole thing about p-basses and its recoding pocket, makes sense know.
Is there a video on Sqaure wave guitar processing?
