    Today we're getting into the third chapter of our Mixing Pop/Rock series:
    Mixing Guitars, Keys, Synths, and Strings
    I'm discussing the production and arrangement choices I made, how to EQ and add width to your electric guitars, and how to help multiple layers of instruments work well together in the mix. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!
    Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.

      Hello friend.I watch your programs and learn from them.I use Logic Pro 9.And even with 3 tracks Logic hangs and stops.Lot of problems.Do you have the same problems using Logic what other people have?

    • @wegface69
      @wegface69 7 лет назад +1

      Your doing something wrong. Logic is rock solid in my opinion-- and i often have 60+ tracks all with effects. Your machine is not powerful enough, or you have some other problem.

    • @Producelikeapro
      @Producelikeapro  7 лет назад

      Tomasz Modecki I actually haven't had any issue myself. I would make sure you have enough RAM. That would be my first thought. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren

    • @muffevans5667
      @muffevans5667 7 лет назад +1

      You should try running as much ram as you can fit, also try freezing your audio tracks, disable plugins on each track too.

    Very useful. I'm doing synth parts right now. My synth player is great, lots of the parts just drop straight into the track, but sometimes I want to sculpt them a bit. Some of the old analogue synths need taming a bit

  • @rickyred001
    @rickyred001 7 лет назад

    What I'd like to see is Warren do a video about gain staging & panning distorted guitars within a song that also has acoustic drums and a few synth parts. There are days when i feel like I've done a half decent job on something like that but there are also days where it gets very frustrating, I never get that feeling that I'm doing it right, anyway....

      @theawecabinet 7 лет назад

      Aha.... all hope is not lost! Cheers for that.
      BTW your recent Q&A provoked a question...... what is the loudest level you think a traditional 'spacious' live (ie live room sounding) band recording can be mixed to without sacrificing the air, punch, room tone, bottom end and 3-D ness?
      Can it go less than say 10db dynamic range (crest factor) and not be compromised?
      Can you think of any good examples (maybe some remastered classics?)
      What is your optimal loudness for traditional rock band mixes? (disregarding loudness war)

      @Producelikeapro  7 лет назад

      Hi David, great stuff! The Cameron Webb 'Motörhead course is fantastic! I'm not in front of the session at the moment, I will have to check and get back to you on which reverb I used when I look at the video! Haha Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

    Really informative videos you have, thanks for em. Subbed some days ago. :)
    I have a question. When it comes to string instruments, like violins. What kind of different plug ins would you recommend in the mix? I play a instrument called tagelharpa, which have a really sharp sound and it is really hard to mix overall. Look it up if you have the time and if you're curious how it sounds... It would help me a lot.

    @kylecarpenter6690 7 лет назад

    Ok... Great Vid.. Nice little Easter egg with the panning the verb opposite of the Gtr.. Can't wait to try it.. That said.. i need to get my 1 dumb question in as it has been driving meet nuts from Vid to Vid.. I've waited for you to reference it, use it.. acknowledge it.. but to no avail.. ssooo.. here it is.. What is the Screen on the wall @ thr right corner of the plane pic for ??? lol... And Last but not least.. If you haven't already .. I Beg, Beg, Beg you to do an in depth Vid on Getting a good vocal.. I.E. How hot of a signal coming in, EQ .. ( Please give in depth vocal EQ advice) Compression .. etc.. I can't for the life of me get a good vocal sound.. its always either mushy..or glassy n thin , distorted... and any other word you can make up to describe a vocal without using the word good... ok... thanks as always.. great Vid !!!! AAnnddd.. I've got a spectacular Idea for a future "Giveaway or Grand prize" Kinda vid.. How about a small piece of your time.. As time is the greatest gift of all.. but not in your or a million dollar studio.. but in 1 of your subscribers " basic " home studio.. I thought of this as I was getting frustrated with one of my recordings.. I thought.. I wish I had someone I knew.. that knew what they were doing, so i could see what is actually capable with what ive got ... would be a great giveaway as well a great way to demonstrate your point of how one can get a great recording in a basic no frills home studio... =O)~.. Think about it... ;0) and in the mean time.. have a wonderful day ..+O)

      Steve,,, If your not a member of Produce Like a Pro Academy,,, and you like this,,, You would love the Academy,,, The Pro Mix Academy is rather great in it's own way,,,
      Both are creations of Warren's experience and his natural teaching skills just all with professional knowledge put in to real world scenario's. Professional all the way down to the beginners home studio can learn,,,
      Even if it's just a bedroom using headphones and a free version of a DAW, it's a great place and we sure do live in an almost unbelievable time to make music,,,
      I know I sound like an Ad,,, lol,, but I'm just a member of both Produce Like a Pro Academy. and the Pro Mix Academy,,, I can hardly keep up with all he gives us, But, I sure am looking forward to the 2017 Pro Mix Academy content,,, Can tell ya how much I have learned and I've been soo inspired,,,

    Hi.please can you help me i'm in oversofisticated problems in recording and mixing oldschool vocals xD. i'm in a small band in italy and we play a kind of grunge/punk/hardcore .. so we want to sound a bit oldschool yeah and we usually put distortion on the vocals, the problem is that we have no idea how to fix all the harshness of the vocals without mess too much with the eq and turn everything up side down to muddy and undifined .. i will ask if a parallel group of vocals like two dubles and one distorted could fix the problem or if there are other methods .. we really aim to sound really dubled and chorusing with a grit distorted feel.. we will really apareciate any kind of help or suggestion. thank you a lot i really like your channel :)
