Learn to Mix Music

[LUshooter]

learn to mix music...oh yeah im a little bitch

[officialFletch]

Did he say.. "Im John Richards and ill be your hoe" ????

[Amissimal]

Does anyone know what the song at the beginning is called? Something like "Change´s Gonna Come"

[runekenamy]

LOL he has an eye very close to his nose *no offence*

[JT8800]

So class, what have we learned? Stick with the day job?

[D3TOSS]

So fake and gay i agree to D3TOSS

[DKsaNn7]

Your comment is on the first page of course somebody is going to say something. C'mon man I didn't even say anything offensive in the first place

[bevulus]

very informative. thanks

[ChiquisLc13]

whats the name of the song in the beggining

[DKsaNn7]

@ChiquisLc13 eww hahaha

[ChiquisLc13]

@DKsaNn7 uhhh after two months of that comment? hahaha what a dumbass lol

[DKsaNn7]

@ChiquisLc13 uhhh your comment will always be here! Fucking dumbass

[ChiquisLc13]

@DKsaNn7 uhhh and yet you're such a low life to look at comments that are so old and reply with something stupid.

[JoshuaWGLloyd]

his hair annoys me

[Evellon1]

His name is john and he'll be my WHAT!!!!?

[ZhanaR]

This window is too small to even see what you are doing so it was a bit useless for me but I am sure you know what you are doing.

[D3TOSS]

fake and gay

[mrturkyes]

@D3TOSS Mther Fker You guys think everything is fake Go kill your self no thats no fake and gay

[D3TOSS]

@mrturkyes Sure it is!

[LastDayStudios]

He went from De essing ....to processing a kick drum......geesh!! can someone upload the dessing section of this vid?

[guccibabzi]

i would never learn how to do i:

[kokaiy]

@guccibabzi l agree

[shadav21]

y d u use the trim plugin instead of moving the faders?

[Broyale26]

I'd much rather pay someone who knows what they're doing. When making a first impression, quality is a must, so why sell yourself short in the end?

[olivercarlehed]

omg , he looks exactly like the 9-ball king Mika Immonen .

[jipidibipity]

much is left to experience with a software. Nowadays kids are spoon fed computers- so yes, a hunch (belief in oneself) could produce a rogue hit. But if you are paid to engineer (see above) you want better odds than one hit. All instruments of man are decendants of the 1st instrument: the organic voice of man. A mixing software is yet another instrument to support- or fill in the void of- articulation playing out in the panorama of rhythm, melody, and harmony from music theory. All in a song...

[cast390]

Most boring tutorial on mixing I've ever seen

[TheMarcPopeProject]

do we really need that fucking flashing, is my attention span that short? do they really thing we're stupid or what? i'm not a fucking gold fish, i can separate words and sentences without a god damn flash indicating it for me!!

[spookyomansions1]

God what a bunch of bitches.I bet he's been involved in the making and production of many more records then all the retards bitching about it here!!!!

[polyphony89]

How is digital a more linear device? Wouldn't analogue always be more linear than digital

[REALCougarsRmales]

I need a program that removes my vocals from songs. 

[bestplugins]

@REALCougarsRmales if its stereo, just invert the phase on one of the channels, and convert the song to mono, you will lose most of the vocals, and most of the beat, but it works.

[huerra89]

barbera streisand can suck my non-existant dick.

[readerwriter]

I wouldn't let this guy mix my stuff on priciple. What a nob. These people who say you gotta have pro tools to sound good are just gear snobs. The other day I heard a world class track recorded and mixed in Audacity. Ears not specs.

[Lyricalstar7]

dudes supposed to be amazing at mixing, yet his vocals in this video sound like shit -.-

[cdwondotcom]

i know i turned it off lol

[Surfwtw]

I'm John Merchant and I'll be your hoe.

[justinbiberlishes]

i dint understand a shit he dint even give the linck how stupid

[thehbkboy]

What is the program ,is it free

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@thehbkboy pro tools and no

[NeatShelby]

Thanks for the tips! I'm learning to record and mix my own songs. I'm posting my stuff on here. Hit me up and we can trade tips! Check out my channel and leave tips and feedback. Thanks a lot!!

[RedSkullthagreat]

I just had a epileptic fit bc of this video!!

[Firefox7777777]

he is like the worst beat maker ever man ,,,

[arnab1021976]

Whats with those irritating flashes? Supposed to be cool for a 14yo MTV viewer maybe...

[stunna919]

I hate to look of pro tools 7...it looks so dam dull compared to 8

[EmoceanUK]

arggghhhh hes not in a studio at the start he is stood infront of a green screen

[EmoceanUK]

stop bragging about who you have worked with no1 gives a shit just show us what to do

[Moshm4n]

No, I don't want you to be my hoe.

[xOvercome]

ROFL IT JUST FROZE WHERE IT SAYS..

'AND I'LL BE YOUR HO..'

in hysterics!

[Supafly4670]

damn. he spent half the video name dropping

[CeejaeGITLIVE]

@Supafly4670 LMAO

[dieghooseinkc]

& why you dont make a tutorial" how to mixing vocals ?"

[dieghooseinkc]

how to get this software & al the plugins ?

can i download it for free ?

thnx for the answer

[AlternateZone]

haha no, if you wanna use Pro tools you should also buy a MBox of digidesign otherwise your pro tools wont start.

An MBox cost you around the $300 if you want the cheapest and smallest one it also includes the software.

[BlackSkullz09]

@AlternateZone Hey can you tell me the name of music mixer so i can produce my own tracks and record soome demos? Nothing too fancy like something you see Diddy use on making the band shit that cost like $50,000.00, something for around $500.00- 2,000.00. I really want to start recording my own demos and producing my own songs, so yea if you can recomend a music mixer machine hat operates off your own PC at home it woud mean alot man.

[AlternateZone]

@BlackSkullz09 I recommend Cubase for home production.

[BlackSkullz09]

@AlternateZone hey thanks alot man. btw do you know where i can find itonline? Ebay, Amizon?

[sjmeerkees]

you must buy it, or try some demos

[superslikuzi007]

pause at 0:52

lmfao.. take this black cock.

good video.

[MistahX99]

lollll how did you even see dat

[lilmatt619]

LMAO xD

[crxpunkb16]

name drop much?

[52727030]

he says host

[cucus78]

i still need the money to pay the grammy nomination

[JackLightningJoe]

"ill be your hoe?"

[showbiznine]

lmao XD

[Me7aLfAn]

XAHXHAhxAHXA yeah, I think he wanted to say "host"

[scott93257]

In my studio I use Cubase 5 for my VSTi's and Adobe Audition 3 for mixdown editing. But primarily I am running in to an Otari MTR90 24 Track 2 inc reel to reel... Damn what a warm sound.

[xwelshchikx]

This is so outaa sync :( But its good :) X

[fabjosrey]

HE can anyone help me, im trying to mix my drums into prerecorded tunes if you will, and im at a lost, to be honest i haven't the slightest idea about what im doing and ANY help will be appreciated, im running adobe audition right now (no idea how it works)

[NovemberRain1107]

Program your drums then add them to the audio then add about 4 to 6 db's of compression over the whole track.

[fabjosrey]

what will that do?

[NovemberRain1107]

It level everything and help the drums sit in the mix

[glasgene]

iheartsedric totally agree mate .. its not the tools its how you use them, you get a lot of people who will go out there and buy the best then sit there with their finger up their backside trying to figure out how to use it..

I can't stand it when people start saying my system is better than yours but even more so when they obviously no F**k all

[iheartsedric]

Exactly, I have friends that use Cubase and Fruity Loops and produce wonderful results... better than some of the crap I've pumped out in a more advanced system....

[DjKuttack1]

Igot hd an theres no way in cubase nuendo that you`ll get the mixing power yo .but if you dont run nothing native an use the big ben clock , the apogee rosetta series then you begin to touch that relm

[akalakaboom]

Silly statement and so I am going to correct it....

Mixing power ? your talking about Audio Quality and I agree about the Apogee but then you also have Prism/Lavry.

Tools wise you can use Cubase with UAD/TC Powercore/Sonnox if you add a Lavry on top of that, game over.

Just because you got HD doesn't mean you have the ultimate system there are many people using various apps around the world in Hi End studios and believe me they aren't all HD based.

[glasgene]

Akalaka is right although Pro Tools is pretty much an Industry standard, power wise its an open book nowadays .. faster CPU's and the DSP cards such as UAD and Duende are incredible....

There is a far too much mis information on the web; Dj Kuttack if your a producer/mixer you owe to yourself and people who may use your comments to read up and get to know whats going on out there..

[iheartsedric]

I know a lot of people who are all happy because they paid 10 g's for their HD system, but they're idiots and their music still sounds like shit...

No matter what program you use, a good engineer can mix a song on any system. The only advantage of an HD system is the built in tape.... Otherwise, I can mix, master and engineer just as well in Logic and send out a non-Digi tape system with no problems or loss of quality.

There is no global standard of software or hardware, just opinions...

[scott93257]

Every word you said is absolutely correct. I couldn't agree more with you.

[javonkenneth]

@iheartsedric i agree with you my musical brother totally i use logic as well along with waves and i put a damn good sound

[VittyYPT]

@iheartsedric do you know much about those wave plug-ins by chance? I was wondering If those were the best plug-ins to get?

[sonicthehedgehogxp]

@iheartsedric an hd IO isway less then 10 g

[curtisgtrdaddy]

cubase has way better algorhythms for tracking, with 32bit floating yadda yadda... several producers have noticed that after takin my wave files into protools, my files have more of what theyre lokin for... i agree, knowing how to engineer is 90% of it tho...

[keezydadon]

i bought pro tools hd and cant use it

[ahabadong]

arent you planning to sell it then?

[keezydadon]

nah my dad bought it

[ahabadong]

lol

[keezydadon]

yea he thought i was good cause i was using acid pro but this is no acid pro way harder

[hackalabac]

where's the meat?

[nikolaiprangemusic]

you sound like tom green ga

but good vid 5/5

[taliesin142008]

I would actually like to be able to try out mixing music. I am by no means a pro- but i'd like to try and find the equipment quite scary. Im much better at video editing but i want to expand my horizons a bit!

[tensago]

Im the same but opposite. I would like to get into video stuff.

im currently involved with sound things.

[crustifer]

Cubase takes a lot of exploring and experimentation to find out how to get the sound you want, but it is totally worth it and I find it extremely easy.

[angrytrees]

I used to use Cubase, but the simple fact is, almost everyone uses pro tools.

[aidanday]

Who is 'everyone' ? Professional $tudio$, yes. Independent artists? Not so much...rarely, in fact.

I do electronic music, and literally have never heard of anybody in the scene using Pro Tools. Typically it's hardware gear or Ableton for production, and Cubase, Logic, etc for final mix.

In the end, talent always trumps equipment.

[aidanday]

Who is 'everyone' ? Maybe big-money Pop and Rap music. THOUSANDS of independent musicians use Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live etc.

In the end, it's always about the talent; equipment is about 5% of the final product. Give a talented producer a 10 year old sampler and an analogue mixer, and he'll still get a better sound than a hobbyist with Pro Tools.

[angrytrees]

I agree with what you are saying, but to clarify, protools is the most universally accepted audio production software. If you record a session in a studio in New York, you can send it to a studio in Tokyo, and they will not have any compatibility issues regardless of platform. I am right there with you as far as the talent of a producer/sound engineer being the key. If you build your own studio , I suggest pro tools, that way if your studio ever grows, it is based on the industry standard.

[aidanday]

Yeah, you're right on there. Hey, if I could afford the $8000 hardware for 'real' Pro Tools, I'd get it in a heartbeat. The light versions that run on regular machines are, to me, not even worth it - unless you're absolutely determined to exist on the Pro Tools platform for the reasons you mention.

[chuckawobbly]

HD cost a ton of money, but you can get a mixing session of Pro Tools v8 that has 49 Audio tracks for under $300, but I would go for Cubase for it's compatability, track count and the mixing desks are way cheaper and sometimes better than digidesigns. I use protools because my college uses it exclusively.

[DigiRarefaction]

Pro tools support Rtas and TDM plugins but not it also supports vst instruments. You simply need one program called vst to rtas adapter v2.0

Logic pro is also great. Ableton is best for live performances. FL is a joke. Cubase is not bad though I would not compare it to pro tools. There are more limitations than pro tools. There is a reason why pro tools is the industry standard.

[agentsumo54]

no thanx!!!!

[hackhead123]

logic OBVZ

[xoxcryingoutforme]

cheap vid!

the guy isnt even cropped properly

[HairStyle11]

but do i need Apple or Windows is Fine??(I have Vista)

[aaahhhh69]

if you use windows u need xp, youll have nothin but problems with vista

[angrytrees]

I have it on vista 32, works flawlessly

[MGAVBRACE]

Oh man I am totally lost now.

I have two midi tracks recorded. One is piano and the other one is strings. But when I play my recording back through pro tools they both come out as a piano sound. I cant get one track to play the piano sound and the other strings.

Anybody out there help out ?????

[abandcalledname]

change the voice on the string track. its on the left side of the screen near the record enable button.theres a box that says "none" when no voice selected. if you have the proper patch in pro tools(when you set up midi studio you'll know) otherwise if you're using a modeler plugin, you have to assign each pt track to a midi track in the modeler. are you using instrument tracks showing.select this -View-mix window-instruments.

[Albertcenter]

Change to Cubase :-)

[GRANDHEATBEATS]

What ?? Protools makes Cubase look like cool edit pro !

[Albertcenter]

Hey that was a joke. It is a matter of personal preference. I use both, Cubase and ProTools, but I like Cubase midi engine better. and "rewire" in Cubase is easier to set up for software that not custom made for ProTools.

[Lukey404]

What I did in that situation was rendering those midi tracks to audio tracks and then mix with those. Once you render them, you won't be able to edit the midi tho. Hope that helps.

[thegratesty]

fucking faag

[butterpeas22]

Awesome how can I learn more from you all

[ssssroryssss2]

Slighty more complex than this video----> /watch?v=4FseSwvUNPA :D

[skirton22s]

Protools>Anything and everything

[dkrumrie123]

yeah pro tools HD is but le is way behind the game you can do twice as much with logic sonar and cubase as you can with le but yes HD is awesome

[IIXboxSucksII]

I use cubase sx3 after trying cubase 4 I cant deal with it cubase sx 3 works best for me.

[eRealist]

Pro tools sounds much better you just have to know what you are doing, pro tools takes talent. I bought this DVD its awesome.

[IIXboxSucksII]

? all programs deliver the same sound quality it comes down to what interface works for you

[eRealist]

False, not all programs sound the same, sure it all starts at 1's and zeros but each program tries to model the sound, and I prefer no output modeling, thats why these scrubs hate pro tools because #1 they cant rip it off and #2 mommy wont buy them the class A pres and compressors needed. so they use nubenudo or some other 2nd rate trash.

[IIXboxSucksII]

I have protools and cubase but I find cubase works great. and Ive heard music produced in Fl studio that sounds Mint. like I said making music is preferences. I say if you have the right monitors hardware possibility is endless.

[ladex142]

This shows your level of understanding when it comes to music production, i dare you to post a genuine audio track of one of your production and let us all here it.

[Metropolitian]

"sure it all starts at 1's and zeros"

It's the other way around! It ends with binary.

[ladex142]

You are wrong, most DAW software have a basic sound engine. There're some couple of factors that determine the quality of the sound you get from your daw, such as your audio interface, the quality of your ad/da converter, your equipment in general and your skill in music production.

For example, a person with an apogee symphony system with ad-16x/da-16x converters and logic pro will get a better sound quality than someone with an m-box with protools.

[teqwindotcom]

where can we hire you?

[Billy982810]

Pro tools is the problem Logic sounds like tape. If you use Protools get rid of it before it ruins you.

[Hoechachi]

Wow Pro Tools is hideous.

I'm sure the sounds are fine, but I'll stick with Logic 8.

MUCH easier on the eyes and workflow.

[kannadaguy]

the opening song sounds like a promo for barack obama :-)

go obama 2008!

[jimmymccombs]

MAN NICE VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHAREIN.

[Toyman103]

It said in the beginning he worked with michael Jackson ... Hope the pour soul didn't regret it too much. >: )

[beastzman]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo thats cold yet funny

[IIXboxSucksII]

...lol toyman lol...  You got -6 for that comment but funny

[senju6]

you are fucking gay

[arondaking09]

I swear i mix with Fl Studio, and Pro Tools, But im back to FL now, and I found that the only thing i dont like about it is, the fact that you only have 64 tracks to work with, i never thought i would have to use all of the, being i mix Rap/Hip hop music, but i have came to that point recently lol

[karlovaleksey]

i agree

protools does have its own sound

[zellymusic]

Also Keep in mind that Pro tools has its own sound I personaly use Nuendo as it sounds more warm or close to tape. Pro tools has gotten better but it does have its own sound. So whats shown here pertains to protools users

because In nuendo you dont have to do as you do here.

NO FLAME INTENDED

[musicdriven888]

I know I am not solely speaking for my self when I say that a gate on a kick (or snare) should come before eq.

[redmahna]

Hey thanks, mystified... Great vid. What you've stated on your video regarding eq'ing is something I found to be doing naturally after so many years (I am not school-trained) and makes complete sense. Also, yes, you're right that eq'ing individual tracks may not be perfect once you hear them together w/ the others... good reference point but tweaking again is normal with a group of tracks.

Anyway, rock on bro, from an old fogie analoger who recently went digital. Peace.

[baloosey]

Thanks. p tools and the learning curve is driving me batty. georgina

[Stefogoroner]

s's i mean on sibilants in the vocal , deser remove tham and it's based on high frequency , it's something like a gater but it is concirned on the high freq only

[Stefogoroner]

ds'er or in cubase dereser or something close to it is effect plugin for vocal , to slightly remove s's or unwanted high frequencies that the vocal produces..

[bigslick47]

i wish i knew what was going on

[ValonPlayer]

haahhe so stupied u are bigslick47

[Jman848]

how could i get a program to remix? i mean for free...?

[lildominoes324]

ANY1 GOT SOMTHING TO REMIX some1 tell me plz cuz i want to use it

[86nigga]

i know everything else exept a ds'er. what is a ds'er?????????

[TheRealBoyardee]

Removes the hissy sound your voice makes when you make "s" sounds.

[Captnuendo]

Nice Video! Going on my favorites

[luckycannon]

i cant see any vidio on youtube and i cant install the new flash player what am i going to do?!?!?!?!:(

[yoda0000004]

you don't need flash for youtube you need java ;)

[Diablo9209]

no u need adobe flash player 9 and java

[luckycannon]

thanks so much its working

[Dzoni73]

Late replay but, download flash uninstaller, then download flash installer. run uninstaller first, and then install adobe flash player.

make sure you close all browsers before you do anything.

[aceshigh230]

so much info..thanks man..

[diego13x]

Im spanish, always those tutorials in english argghhh , but thanks..

[andr123w]

well youtube is an american company thats what we do here in america.... we speak english

[Desbandados]

Well, in fact, America has so many spanish speaking countries, and english is not the only language here. Why most of the northamerican people call their country "America" and themself "Americans"? Everyone born from Chile to Canada are americans. But, that's not the problem here. Youtube is truely a nothamerican company, but it is a free site when everyone can upload not copyrighted videos in any language. Diego, there are a lot of spanish tutorials here too. Search for them correctly.

[Captnuendo]

Wow! we speak what ever language we please. That is what bieng american is no?

[zellymusic]

the Trend that I also see and notice is most professional instructional videos are allways pro tools centric I would like to see some other daws take this professional aproach instead of just apealing to the "project studio" guy

[zellymusic]

what alot of folks need to take into consideration is alot of these mix instructional videos are pro tools based. So alot of whats done here is based on how protools crunches the numbers. Nuendo cruchnes the number in a way that what may be done in pro tools may or may not be needed in nuendo and the same applies to other apps.

[Carlosdamiano]

umm? what is wrong with this people.. I think this is great advice.. I'm going to try it as soon as possible

[HLordz301]

thanx for the vid, good usefull info

[PESHOPIKATA]

very nice

[wfaris2003]

thanks for this vedio, i wish that there is more free content
