"If it's not adding value to the end result.....It's Gone!"........Dilby For President!!!!
I love this mentoring tip regarding sound selection! "Get rid of it."
Makes sense right!? Cheers for watching mate.
The way you put together your videos is so helpful for people who aren't beginners anymore but are looking to get a professional sound to their tracks. Really top stuff.
100%!
This is by far one of the most illuminating videos for producers looking to take a shortcut. If I could have seen this 10 years ago. Thank you So very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing as always Dilby. As someone else has said in the comments, your channel is amazing for those wanting to go from intermediate to approaching a more pro sound. 'Less is more' especially resonates with me. Sometime you have to be ruthless and cut elements that no longer fit with the track!
Thanks Dilby. Great knowledge nuggets as per
Excellent. Actionable tips that clearly work. Many thanks.
You're very welcome 🙏
Id say about 95% of tutorials for music production in a daw are pretty useless. stuff like "top ten ways to add width to your track" or "five ways to sidechain" or stuff like that. I feel like a huge number of producers are already very experienced in their ability to actually execute things, but lack in the intuition that is extremely useful, even required to some extent, for more "advanced" or focused projects.
Your videos provide that extra insight into the intuitive process behind mixing, which i really like . I especially enjoy how you walk us through both the thought process of the hypothetical producer and your own thought process as a the person mixing the track.
Thanks for the great, and particularly useful video!
Some of the best real world music production advice I've come across on RUclips! Several points I want to use in my own tracks in this one. Keep up the fantastic work!
I appreciate that!
Needed this. Thanks again, Dilby!
Hey Dilby, just wanted to say keep up the good work, your videos are alwasy super helpful and well curated! Looking forward to seeing you on 10k, you deserve way more than that!

You're very welcome!
Great video as always!!

nice one! i like these kind of videos
Great!
Another excellent Dilby Masterclass. Kia Ora!

Great video. Very well explained. Do you have any tutorials on making your own loops? If not, that would be really cool to see.
amazing tips !!
Cheers man
Thanks Dilby great tutorial! I often have too many elements in my tracks and your advice to get rid of things if thery are not adding value is something im going to look out for in my future productions, Danke! :)
No problem man. It happens to everyone, myself included.
Another amazing video by the legend himself!
Thanks mate ✌️
dope
Thanks a bunch Dilby! So, less is more. I tend to overcrowd the track due to unclear idea what to do or how to progress it further especially if I go back to the track after a day or so.
This is totally normal. I tend to try a lot more ideas than I need or use. The important thing is to be willing to let them go at some point.
New Sub love your channel 🙏🏼
Welcome aboard!
Would love to see a video like this on composition
I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you elaborate a little on what you think would be a good video please? ✌️
I'll send you a detailed email :)
the preview already is hype...
👊👊
“If it’s not adding value to the end, result, it’s gone” 2024 mindset
Great tips, tnx. Where to get that Sample audition plugin you use?
It's in my template and any of the project files on Patreon. It's just a Simpler, a couple of eq's and a spectrum that are grouped and have macros assigned.
Cool video as usual! Thanks! What exactly the Sampler's Amount % does?
You mean at 14:23 ? That is the amount of modulation from the filter envelope to the filter cutoff.
Get a better mix down without mixing.........*proceeds to mix
I would have transposed my original kick down two semi tones. I really like the original kick sound. Would that also have worked? Great video.
Could also try that. The original one was also pretty long so that can cause issues depending on the bass you're using.
Hey mate great video, quick question regarding the bass, I see you took away the sub here, could you not have just eq'd the sub and mid bass so they sat better together? Seen alot of producers stating the importance of having a seperate sub for more control? What's your take on this? Keep up the great work pal 😎😎🙏
As I said in the video, the sub layer was totally unnecessary in this case. The main bass had plenty of sub frequencies and the sub layer was too low to be useful or useable. I see this a lot and it can really destroy the low end of a track, and in the context of this video, make it super complicated to mix. I think a lot of people love to complicate things. My goal with the channel is to show people that simple is generally better and it's more important to focus on the song writing and the idea than to focus on production techniques.
To clarify, there can be situations where a sub layer makes total sense, but this should be done for a reason not just as a general rule (like any production technique). Add a sub layer because the track is lacking power and has space for it, not because X or Y producer said you always need a sub bass layer.
The other thing I see a lot is people trying to do complicated layering and production when they haven't actually mastered the ability to nail a more simple version in the first place. I always advise to focus on strong simple foundations and doing everything for a specific reason. Like in this example there were 3 layers in the bass, but in the end, it sounded cleaner and punchier without the sub or top layers.
Hope that clarifies it mate :)
@@dilbydj wow man thanks for the detailed reply 🙏 absolutely makes perfect sense when you put it like that. I am also guilty of over complicating things so this will definitely help me going forward, your a legend of the game mate thankyou and god bless, keep the top content coming bro 💯💯👌🎶🎶
Dilby, how do you deal with the volume spike on the 2 and 4 when both kick and clap hit together? I have been grouping kick and clap and soft clipping them together using saturator so that every kick and kick/clap hit are all equal volume before they even get to the limiter on the master. Is this technique the "standard" way or is there a better technique? And yes, i always high pass clap to get less frequency build up but volume always seems to spike even when i lower volume of clap. I like loud punchy claps as i do more heavier, in-your-face tech house. Any tips would be super appreciated. Love your channel and keep up the good work!
I tend to prefer to do clipping to the claps directly.
@@dilbydj yeah i do that too especially when i layer several claps.
saved diss
Nice
👍👋
Man hiding instruments in the mix is what I do all the bloody time!! This is a wake up call to get those mofos out
one short question Dilby : Do i need to press arrow where you put your Groove MPC 16 Swing. Do i need to press this arrow for turn swing on ?
No, just selecting the groove from the drop-down applies it. The arrow commits it by permanently shifting the midi or audio.
@@dilbydj Thank a lot! Great tutorial!
Actually this is good advice for everyone but in production stage then you will have less work in mixing, because you cannot avoid mixing at all.
Yeah, exactly. That's the point, to make better decisions in the writing and production.
Well, thats what i was lookong for.. very useful.. thx Dilby 🪂
Great! Thanks for tuning in ✌️
