This is a truly great video! I have been struggling with my mixes since I started using too many various pad, string and atmo sounds. But his video helped to clear up my mixes and achecive a greater and more natural sound. 9:30 Another great way to sidechan the reverb that I have recently learned is to create a whole separate channel for reverbs of different kind and send them all to one bus. Each of the reverbs could then be processed seprately. Fruity send is a great plugin to use in this case in order to output the signal from one chanel (pad, lead, bass) into a reverb channel.
I wish I could like a vid twice thank you 💯 I’ve always liked pads but was unsure how to fit them in the mix without high passing them too much. The automation section really helped!
Amazing video and you go direct at the point! So in my case i want to make the pad chords/line sound better and together with the loop i am using, should i sidechain both's???
A little off topic but I upgraded my PC rig based on your Best PC for music production video. I got the same I9 processor you have and that CPU is a BEAST!
Indeed it is. You won't have to worry about buffer size anymore. Also, what took 8-9 minutes to render out from rx8 with the 9900k now only takes 3-4 minutes. 😁👍
Can you do a video on how to add more elements to your project if you’re stuck on ideas and don’t know what else to do with it? I’m currently making a trance track although it sounds good with not many channels, I feel like the project could be bigger/fuller with more elements added to it!
I typically start out with the main melody when I make trance music, which means that I'll typically start with the climax or the breakdown, and then fill inn the other parts afterward. In trance music, it's all about filling space in the mix if you want to get that dreamy feel, so ambiance and textures are very important. You want to constantly have sweeps and sounds that develop over time constantly in the background to fill space. It's also very important to have enough movement in your percussion, particularly in the low mids to prevent the track from sounding thin. If you're low on ideas it can be helpful to listen to tracks from other trance producers, that way you might get some ideas and perhaps even pick up some tips and tricks. The truth is that nobody just magically develops their own unique sound overnight. It's usually a result of borrowing/copying things from various others and then mixing them with your own preferences so that eventually something unique develops. :)
I do have some trance specific tutorials on my channel so I recommend you check it out if you haven't already done so. Like this one for example: ruclips.net/video/f4r1SaNnjPM/видео.html
@@FireWalkMusic Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to that. That’s some really helpful advice for me and what I needed to see! I’m gonna try incorporate all of that in this track I’m making now. I’m littrally a beginner but I’ve seemed to have picked it up really quickly I feel. It’s really exciting when you actually make something that sounds good, it really inspires you to keep pushing on it as I do procrastinate a lot!😂 Thank you again for this advice man. And keep up the good work with your videos, you’re helping so many people out. I like how simple you put it across and how streamlined your tutorials are. I’ll be definitely be watching the entire of your video you’ve just linked too! Thank you again brother!🙌
Little Offtopic, but still about FL studio. I have problem, sir. I loaded wav file into Newtime warper to set the other tempo. It worked well and I saved new tempoed wav file. But when I put it on pattern and play, the saved file with loaded regions clicks at stamps of these regions. Do you know, how to fix it? Cheers!
Busing them together can save you a lot of work, and I typically do that myself as long as I have pads that work as a whole and nothing that needs to stand out alone :)
What genre are you producing? I almost didn't post this tutorial because it ended up being so long. The reason for that is that there are so many ways to do this, and it all depends on what you're trying to achieve. There's really no right or wrong here. If you have a mix with few elements then you might want to do it one way. If you have an extremely busy drop then you might want to do it another way. And then you might to do it a third way during the breakdown and such. :)
@@hunk443 I mostly produce uplifting and orchestral trance myself, but many of these techniques should definitely be helpful for the more techy trance as well! :)
There are tons of mixing techniques available, and which one you use usually depends on the genre and the song itself, and exactly what you're trying to achieve. Nevertheless, it's good to have the know-how so that you'll know when to apply what :D

quick tip. you can link both equalizers to same automation. you set one to invert. then you only need one automation to switch between the equalizers.
This is a truly great video! I have been struggling with my mixes since I started using too many various pad, string and atmo sounds. But his video helped to clear up my mixes and achecive a greater and more natural sound.

I'd love to see a saturation tutorial, since it's so important! Maybe with some free starter plugins to get the hang of it :)
A saturation tutorial Is definitely on my list! It's extremely important when it comes to leads too. 😀👌
Every Instrument need his own place in the Mix. Very important!! Thanks!
You're welcome :)
I wish I could like a vid twice thank you 💯 I’ve always liked pads but was unsure how to fit them in the mix without high passing them too much. The automation section really helped!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! :)
Gonna test the classic way of sidechain compression on the submix, thank you for this informative video. 🔥🙏🤙
You're welcome 😊
2:51- no need to create second automation. Just use existing one and set mapping curve to 1-x (invert).
As always, brilliant content I have learned so much from your videos!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! :D
Good one 🔥✅
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
Great video! And you dont need to worry if its not too long. Because its just right.
Thank! Glad you liked it 😀 I always try to stick to short videos (2-6) minutes, but some things just can't be explained real quick. 🙂
@@FireWalkMusic i really love the more longer and in dept ones. Really love this one 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@wiggertvanameijde4584 thanks for the feedback! 😀👍
The automation tips were really helpful thanks!
You're welcome :)
You totally used to narrate for How It’s Made. Glad you’re doing this now tho.
Nice video. I never use compression on pads though. It always sounds bad because it randomly ducks the volume and the pad doesn't sound smooth anymore
Ah yes I really need this, Thanks!
You're welcome, glad you found it helpful 😀👍
Amazing video and you go direct at the point! So in my case i want to make the pad chords/line sound better and together with the loop i am using, should i sidechain both's???
Nice automation tricks
Thanks, glad you liked it 🙂

Почему вы не включаете другие инструменты? Хотелось бы услышать как это работает в миксе а не в соло
👍 - _also_ for the YT algo! 😊
Thanks 😊 glad you liked it 😀
i think mean bus all the pads or similar to a track.
Busing them together can save you a lot of work, and I typically do that myself as long as I have pads that work as a whole and nothing that needs to stand out alone :)
I feel like I'm listening to the How It's Made narrator, or Huggbees.
😂👌
@@FireWalkMusic It's true though!!!
@@fireraid how it's made: Music! 😎
@@FireWalkMusic That's more like it! 👍
i always lowcut around 300hz and put a sub below

@@FireWalkMusic uplifting tech trance i guess hehe

@@FireWalkMusic i learned a lot from your videos THANK YOU 🥰
@@hunk443 glad to hear it 😃
that's how I do and i learned some new tricks. Just don't make dubstep or hardstyle. You'll pull out your hair. Trance yeah no probs. ahah!
