The best way to mix an unbalanced 2 track is to load pro-mb or any multiband compressor, turn down all the compression and use the volume knob to turn down/up some part, I usually do the very low - lowmid - mid - high mid- very high and then use ozone imager to fix the stereo image and then from here I have most of the time relatively well mixed 2 track. Also use the pro-mb in minimum phase
you can also hard brickwall eq certain sections of the 2 track if you make a double or triple of the 2 track on different channels, then you can use the fader to adjust volume or add distortion plugins without affecting the entire frequency range. for instance i might high pass one copy of a double of the 2 track then low pass the other so that its just playing the low end signal. now i can add plugins and only affect low end frequency range. I can mono out the bass if needed as well as stereo widen just the top end
Why am I just finding this video that pro q3 trick is the shit. I watched a couple of videos with this guy he might just be my new favorite mix engineer. Bro knows his stuff.
Clean video. I lowcut at 18-20 Hz since my music and the venues I perform at sometimes give you frequencies down to 20Hz. Dedicated sound systems. And yes, it's not audible ... but definetly an important part of certain genres and translated life through those systems. So I'd say don't make it a general rule statement to get rid of everything down there.
Broo. I loved this video. 1:45 am. I was about to sleep i decided to watch a last video. And now. I can sleep happy and tomorrow wake up to record something ❤❤❤❤
Don’t EVER low cut your beat or entire mix at 31hz. It takes away from the Low end. Around 17hz should be enough cause it rolls into 21 hz, which is the Frequency the human ear can actually start hearing.
I hear you, but I disagree slightly. It’s sub frequency where yes you can technically hear them, but you feel them almost 1000 times more than you can hear. From 20-130 hertz there is more physical resonance within the body than audibility. A solid low end has to do with upper harmonics, hence the NS10 trick. With all this being said, everyone mixes differently and if that works for you, respect. Maybe you can teach me a new approach. Currently I focus a lot more on the mids. If I get that right, 9/10 times everything else falls into place. It also helps when not having a sub monitor. In the beginning I used to find myself boosting the low end so much, that it drowned the mix and took up voltage. As soon as I started focussing on mids, I had an enormous amount of headroom. Where the low end slapped with both resonance and audibility.
So question when you pulled the frequency now on the pro Q3EQ the one that’s on the vocal track do you leave that part pull down or was that just an example of where you wanted to pull it down at so you can go to the two track and poke apart down do you leave that active or was that just an example
As far as gain staging would it be safe to match the two tracks together to the same db and push it all up with a limited later on? What db typically do you want vocals to sit after mixing them?
Thank you for this informative tutorial! I learned a lot. I'm curious if there's a distinction between employing this technique and utilizing the Trackspacer plugin, which purports to achieve similar results, especially when working with just two-track files?
Trackspacer needs a sidechain input of something you use to duck something else dynamically, and thus you can't really use Trackspacer on a master bus or ala in this case a 2 track stereo mix/file...
The gems are always the youtubers with low subs to start
😂😂😂what bro @@BroadcastLounge
Song is 🔥
Maaaaaan you don't know what you just did to all my past and future mixes with this gem

He didn't need to cut that

VERY GOOD EXPLANATION DUDE , i actually came here cuz i'm working on an order on fiverr and i'm in the same situation
New Subscriber Here 👋 Good Work

@ Yea, I currently cut at 20hz on the overall mix because it maintains a Clean but, still full-sounding low end.
I recently just came across this issue for a client, thanks for advice on how to handle this issue.
THIS was SUPER EXTREMELY helpful. This dude is a wizard 🧙🏾♂️. I’ll be his apprentice
This was great, thank you for sharing!
THANK YOU !!!!
great content
Will appreciate a and b level-matched. want to hear the difference. do this for all future mixing videos...
Use these tricks in every mix! Dope video bro keep giving the people 💎 ✊🏽🔥
Great video
Gems 💎 where just dropped on me from this video 🙏
why does my pro q3 only show me the white lines, it doesn't show the red ones anymore. How do you switch between the 2 colors?
Bro I needed this
Great vid!!!
Great content 🫡
can you show us how to gain stage the 2 track
even more better is just eqing the mid of the beat in proq and pushin the sides
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So question when you pulled the frequency now on the pro Q3EQ the one that’s on the vocal track do you leave that part pull down or was that just an example of where you wanted to pull it down at so you can go to the two track and poke apart down do you leave that active or was that just an example
aye what that song called bro? Fye tutorial as well 🙌🏿
On god
As far as gain staging would it be safe to match the two tracks together to the same db and push it all up with a limited later on? What db typically do you want vocals to sit after mixing them?
can we get a mastering video next with asher???
Good idea.... wink wink... be on the lookout...wink wink
💥💥💥💥💥💥
what is the beat called? it's so fire :)

Nice work.
Good video. Is there nothing that Pro-Q can't do? If only Fab-filter made hairspray. Gahhh! people! send the stems to Asher.
Maaaaan for real!
sounds like bro mixing lil uzi 😭😂
That is NOT a stem. Thats is called a TRACKOUT” is a difference
