That kick drum mix tip is something similar to what I was doing in the recent past. However, this seems a lot more focused, simple and intuitive. Thank you!
Great vid brother. Thank you. Quick question, Where did you get your fat joe song from? Do you download it off RUclips or is that quality not sufficient?
Learn your room points are really good, cheers. I’ve been doing this without knowing it was a good enough thing to be doing. Feel it’s more valuable now.
Great video...not only when the kick is too loud the mix distort , but also when the kick is too quiet. For instance on the phone you can hear that on loudest volume ....pumping and sucking not solid...and in the car or other sub
Ought to have clippers with soft saturation to tame them peaks, nicely rounds out the spikes and sounds pretty great. Newfangled's Saturate and SirAudios' StandardCLIP work damn well...
Hey would love to hear how you treat the sub bass in an 808 for example? is it similar to the Kick parallel trick? How much do you roll off or compress in a bass track in relation to the kick?
Would love to do a video on that. I'll put it on the list. I don't usually treat 808s the same way. In a perfect world, I like to leave the 808 alone. Maybe add some VOG on it to get a little more rumble. But I do have some tricks for when we aren't in a perfect world. Which is about 75% of all mixes. lol
Yes. You can do that. However everything before that might be getting clipped or crushed. So it’s best to do it at the first stage. Which would be at the clips.
This is good information. Thanks, Matty! Do you gain stage every track/instrument to hit around the -18 on the VU meter or do you just trim the entire track down to hit around -18 pre-mastering? Does that make sense?
Hey man! I usually just do it from the pre-master stage. That seems to be good enough. Also by doing it that way you don't lose the levels of the rough mix.
You dont even mention the crest factor which is extra-super important for louder mixes. :c Also most of producers works ITB, so gain stagin is not like a very important thing unless someone exports their audio to 24bits and clips it above 0dbFS (32 bits floating point can save you from that). And yes, gain stagin is important for recording but once in the digital domain, plugins work 32bits and also 64bits fpoint, so its like we have HELL OF A LOT of headroom mister, and you know it. The fastest way if you did not gain stage is like turning down the mix with a gain plugin so it doesnt distort before the mastering processing.
Crest factor is another great point! Only so much time in a video. :) I understand what you mean about the floating-point. But as I said in the video some plugins behave better at lower levels. So slamming everything just cause your files are recorded at 32 bit is not a good recommendation. Additionally, you seem well informed but I still get a TON of sessions every week still recorded at 24 bit. So I don't know if everyone is on board with 32bit yet. Even though I feel we are moving in that direction of being a standard.
@@mixedbymatty Thanks for the response! yeah , audio is recorded in 24bits but the most DAWs process internally at 32bits f.p. the point is, that people have the possibility to export audio in 32bits, this way someone who knows what they are doing can still work with it.

Yah man. The studio rack is under rated. Haha.
Finally one who say that i want to hear. The kick is the issue everytime. Thank you for the tip!!
This is a great video. Not often I learn something I don't already do and although I knew this I didn't apply it in this fashion. Thanks!

Splitter in studio one is great for these kind of things.
Levels are also determined by the style ... jazz's kick is small ... afro style kick mostly has no high top ...

WOW....that Kick drum tip....FIRE!!!!!!! FIRE!!!!! Thank you Matt....will definitely try it out!!!
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN THANK YOU BOSS
Great vid Matty, no hype or bs, info spot on with perfect delivery. Subbed 👌

Muy buenas recomendaciones, muchas gracias
Great Tutorial Matty! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Nice! Glad it was helpful.
wow, how did I not know Studio Rack was a thing..? gonna have to try it out! thanks for the vid!
Great tips matty!🤘
Excellent! Thank You!!!
Great kick drum tip
Nice one bro. Cheers
A true💎4me
Thanks Matty!. When you calibrate with Trinnov do you tweak it even more in the Trinnov eq and other settings?. Best/Mathias
tip: can you work on a shoddy mix and see to what extent you can make it sound great? I guess it would be like a roast? Can I send you my project?
Ought to have clippers with soft saturation to tame them peaks, nicely rounds out the spikes and sounds pretty great. Newfangled's Saturate and SirAudios' StandardCLIP work damn well...
Both of those are great! Limitless has a good clipper as well.

@@mixedbymatty Love it! Can't wait to see this one!
Random question, but when using references where do you download them from?
Good video

Hey Matty
Can we just turn down the trim knob on the VU meter instead of turning all the faders down?
Yes. You can do that. However everything before that might be getting clipped or crushed. So it’s best to do it at the first stage. Which would be at the clips.
@@mixedbymatty thanks for your response 🙏🏼

There's lots of plug ins (that are worth using, imo) that are calibrated at -18LUFS.

This guy needs to make some videos for beginners. I have no idea what hes talking about with all of these code words and phrases. Thanks for nothing.
U talk too damn much
$9 WHERE? LOL
