  • this was probably really helpful but i hate techno and couldnt listen to the track on it. Thanks for postin help, but i just cant get down with techno.

  • there's always gonna be some bitchass dicksmack who'l post their smarts comments about how much better they are.. just so you know, for ammatures this is great help.. and the uploader did people who don't know much a huge damn favour without even getting anything out of it.. so how about you vatos shut your troll ass mouths and give this guy a round of applause.. goodshit dude..

  • Guys, what is the best way to master tracks? ..is it by exporting in a wave file then mastering it and export it again in 16 bit wave file(as many people prefer) .....but i see that it's kinda random to master the whole file ..i tried and it ended up good for the whole mix but with little squashed snares and kicks and other fx. maybe mastering and mixing in the same time is better?( in a way better than in this video which i see he just raised up the volume) ? what's your say ?

  • @xlive4electro That's what mastering is, gently massaging the finished mix (2 channels) to bring up the levels and to make sure it sounds decent on car radios, ipods and laptops and on a proper hifi stereo, as opposed to just sounding good on your monitors. The mix should be finished first, if you're fiddling with different instruments/channels then you're still mixing. Get the mix sounding good first, then export it and master it separately. If things start sounding ugly you're overdoing it.

  • @xlive4electro make the mix as best as you possibly can so mastering is an extremely minimal process

  • @Agniveshbaghel

    hey, you can upload the flp again please?

    megaupload are dead! PLEASE

  • It'd be cool if you explained what all these things did

  • this guy doesn't have a clue what he's doing.. all he did was make everything louder, all the tracks are still sonically fighting for space with one another. He didn't pan any instruments or use any reverb or delay to create any depth.. when he plays this so called mixed and mastered beat on any other stereo system (like a car) its gonna sound like str8 garbage.

  • @Stackxxable Then post a video doing better.

  • @Stackxxable Lol and then he used a multi-band compressor after Maximus (which is a multi-band compressor)...definition of madness. Unfortunately it ended up sounding a lot better, so no real complaints there :) I think some explanations would've been useful for peeps

  • @arakrazy  yea seriously.. i mean for beats especially with only like 8 instruments he has its not hard to mix, but what im saying is he totally went the wrong way about doing it lol.. you cant just slap compressors on the master buss and call it a day. it may have semi worked for this but (i still think it only sounds better because its louder, instead of actually clearer). and maybe i will post a video doing it the right way ill have to get a video camera.

  • Compressors are not made for sidechain, there is "real" sidechain effekt on Fl studio.

  • This is preaty good but I prefer using EQ/filter and compressor I realy hate the fl limiter.

  • Thanks mate, you helped me a lot with this. I use the Stereo Shaper instead of the Stereo Enhancer to switch delay and phase a bit for a wider sound. Check me out if you want.

  • Thanks Agnivesh your tutorials have really helped me getting more "clean" songs, Thank you ;)

  • what a noob crap...

  • This some good shit! I've been told my beats were good but just needed to learn to master so sounds weren't louder then others....Check out some of my beats to

  • hi guys, why do people buy mixers that are operated manually instead of using the onscreen mixer in fl studio?

  • @kawasakikid800 bec they got money

  • @kawasakikid800 cuz some people are just dumb....lol

  • @kawasakikid800 Because it is faster, more professionel, and diferent to use (easier !!!)

  • @lesk84ever thanks for answer. so if you bought a mixer and hooked it up to fl the manual mixer would control the mixer in fl studio

  • @kawasakikid800 I think you would have to program it before. But I'v been said fl studio isn't the best for mixing/mastering.

  • @kawasakikid800

    Because you have tactile control. You operate more than one switch at once, whereas using the internal mixer you have to do it one mouse click at a time. It's a preference thing, but I personally like it. External mixers are also not all expensive, there are some solid ones that are less than 500.

  • @kawasakikid800 real professional audio engineer often use analog mixer because you can't get the tha sound you get from an analog mixer with like a waves eq, it's impossible but it will sou´nd great anyway ;)

  • @kawasakikid800 You buy a mixer to plug in analog and MIDI external devices, then you get the analog warmth in sound as well as the ability to mix them. You use a software mixer for ease of access, and the possibility in manipulating sound in a brighter manner. It's really just about preference and honestly it's not bad to use both. You can route a software mixer to your on board mixer so when you raise a volume knob on the on board mixer it raises up on the digital mixer.

  • @kawasakikid800 its easier. fells like you got more control over it. more options too

  • @kawasakikid800 Better for live mixing

  • @kawasakikid800 More physical and hands on enviorment, plus quiker mixes

  • @kawasakikid800 This is youtube buddy.

    ASK GOOGLE he knows EVERYTHING!

  • @kawasakikid800 if ever decide on recording vocals you might want to consider an external mixer. you'll never get the same quality as a lets say a behringer x1204 than a internal sound card from you desktop computer lol

  • @kawasakikid800 the same reason people use midi keyboards instead of the piano roll

  • @kawasakikid800 becuause analog mixer's r much bether

  • Thnx for Sharing this . . !

  • how do you get the sound waves to show in the mixer

  • @ShawnyBoeDeepCBoy you have use fl 10. Go on mixer and on effect options (left up corner) and from menu go on view and choose waweforms. Or just open mixer and alt+w

  • you helped me out so much.. thanx!!!

  • wow, well done sir :)

  • nice sound n mastering!

  • why don't you use a limiter on the master ? dont have worry bout clipping this way

  • Sidechain everything to everything.

  • Can i ask for a request? I have this one beat but its not like dubstep or anything and i wanna rap to it but i need to make it more like a rap/hiphop type of beat can you do that for me?

  • nice

  • Thank you for this tuto

  • so how do you get the mixer to show the waves like that? I have fl 9xxl

    is it possible?

  • @XPiRiMiNT yep. While in the mixer hold down alt and press w. Longer way is to go to the drop down arrow on the top left of the mixer and go to view and click 'waveforms'

  • @mrp3rs0n9uy I just don't seem to have the option. Alt w didn't work and under "view" it just says "big meter, names on bottom, and tracks on right"

  • @XPiRiMiNT hmm sorry alt w works for me and the button 'waveforms' is there. Maybe it's only it FL 10 try upgrading to that ;D

  • @XPiRiMiNT yea its only in fl10

  • can you make a tutorial howto mix dubstep?

  • @mocharizma Bro, that's not gonna work. I understand there is hundreds of tutorials on how to make dubstep out there, but most won't teach you anything except how to make wobbles. Dubstep is a very hard genre to learn and usually it comes with natural talent. If your new to electronic music you should go for trance, techno, house etc. They CAN be taught and aren't that hard to learn. Good luck ;D

  • @mrp3rs0n9uy dubstep is harder than trance hahahah oh man :D i like that kind of jokes at the morning :D

  • Been looking for a video like this...favorited!

  • dont ever touch youre master volume lol :P + wow @ -23dB threshold on compressor, isnt that a lil too much?

  • @Reflexxmusic I was just thinking the same thing.

  • so grateful!! =]

  • what version of FL are you using? i cant se the waveforms in the mixer .. i have 10.0.8?

  • @SajjkBeats Click the arrow at the top left of the mixer, view, waveforms.

  • hey whats between a mixer turntable and a fl fruity?

  • excellent but think u should add some subtle stereo to it with the stereo enhancer.

  • you have some video that teaches how to mix hip hop?

  • i tested out limiter first and made master louder, then i tested maximus and made it louder, both made it better but in its own way. then i mixed with both maximus and limiter at the same time and it sounded really good and clear, is it smart to have like double boost?

  • is this software better then Reaper ????

  • @MRWHITE3535 Yeah

  • @MRWHITE3535 I think it is best for windows

  • wait how u do input song in the insert like piano or drums almost like yours

  • Thank you very much for making this video! It really helped me with the mastering on my track!

  • Hey Agnivash,

    I see you have decreased the master volume a bit. The master volume should be on 100%, always.

  • it sounded fine to me

  • can someone help me? plz check out my video im having some problems with fl studio . thanks!

  • Woah! how do you monitor each insert on you mixer? It's so much better this way.

  • OMFG Fuckin' louder and mastered, u're god :0

  • its help thank u

  • in the mixer clip octions ----- view } waveforms or alt-w

  • How did you make the wave of the FX runs like that?

  • My question is, how does he get the waveform view of the tracks? All I got are meters.

  • A simple explanation of sidechaining is that it ducks sound A behind sound B when sound B plays/is recognized by the DAW. So basically, imagine a little Music Gnome who is dedicated to turning the volume up and down of sound A according to when Sound B plays, with the goal of letting Sound B breathe more and sound more clear.

  • you didnt show, how do you put the instruments in the mixer??

  • @Trillvil1 As in linking the channels to certain tracks? Ctrl+L

  • @TabobandungT i think thats it cuz when i drag a sound in the pattern sequence thing and i go the mixer its not showing the sound i just put in, so im wondering how to put it in the mixer. its only showing the sounds that are alrdy on the pattern maker

  • @TabobandungT i think thats it cuz when i drag a sound in the pattern sequence thing and i go the mixer its not showing the sound i just put in, so im wondering how to put it in the mixer. its only showing the sounds that are alrdy on the pattern maker

  • @Trillvil1 Yeah that's it, Click the little bar/light between the sequencer and instrument button, or just click the instrument. But if you want to link multiple channels to the same track, hold shift and click on the little green bar of the channels you want linked

    Once you have all your channels selected, go to the mixer, select the track, and hit Ctrl+L

  • @Trillvil1 when you drag a sound or a vst into the pattern sequence..you have to click the box for for the sound and in the top right hand corner of the box you will see a little box that says fx..then just scroll and pick what channel you want to set to the mixer.

  • @Tyreeb91 thanks i did it

  • Yo fellow producers check out my new Horror/Halloween type beat sub and i sub back! just inbox when you have

  • i know this has nothing to do with mastering, but what software do you use to record sounds from your computer without using a mic, ive been trying to find some software which does that for ages and i cant,

  • /watch?v=WoTFgIrigIw&feature=y­outube_gdata ayy, i'm trying to create dubstep!! can you guys have a listen?

  • this is the best mix but masering is impossible in fl studio

  • Good for beginners but not the best way!

  • thanx man rly helped me out.

  • what exactly is sidechaining

  • This is the best one . It worked PERFECTLY .

  • My mixer/Master dont even show the patterns like that =/

  • Comment removed

  • Sometimes sidechaining makes wonders.

  • its cool but you dont even explain how you are even doing anything just click here click there

  • can U make a vocal tutorial?

  • thank you so much! I just wish you could explain why you do that every single step :/

  • what exactly is side chaining???

  • @ValcanicBeatz The perfect way to know what sidechaining is is to just make a melody and then place it in a mixer track and add gross beat to it. Bottom left is side chain. Play the melody, this is the explanation of sidechaining.

  • @xtremist91 ok i see. but it dont make the quality better does it?

  • @ValcanicBeatz Umm, well I use the sidechain on certain melodies and it really brings out the kick in a song because usually I sidechain to make the volume rise on the offbeat.. It brings out the kick then obviously.

  • @xtremist91 ok makes sense. ill just have to start messin with it. thanks

  • Okay , one thing i dont get is , that i have Fl studio 1o ,and i dont have those moving things ( sound waves movings ) in the mixer ... wtf ?

    anyways , nice tutorial .Helped me alot

  • nice tut hey i have a question plz in song mode how do i make the song 5 mins long with out it taking 10 mins cant copy and paste for some reason plz help !!

  • howd u make the sound play in the mixer?

  • @PhoenixFireFx U have to link it to make it play on the mixer , just click on the plugin, track or whatever you wanna link to the mixer and then go to any channel of the mixer right click on it and select Link selected channels / to this track , or a easier way would be just click on the track you wanna link to the mixer , then click on the mixer chanel and press ctrl+L

  • what skin is that? Mixer waveforms=win

  • @Darkipod95 Fl studio 10

  • @masterhawkyo I have FL studio 10, and I dont have the mixer waveforms. How did you get yours?

  • @Darkipod95 open the mixer, then file/view,waveforms or somthing like that. I also think u can do it with Alt+W ;D

  • @masterhawkyo Thanks for the help :D

  • @Darkipod95 go to mixer then click on the top on the down arrow thing like this V then click on view then click wave forms

  • hello,

  • @chiboo95 do u mean you want them to produce a beat for you??

  • hello,

    i'am a rapper from holland and i'm searching for someone to mix my track and make it a like a real cool track

    mail me thnx

  • Heyhey, why don't you just put Ozone4 in master channel?

  • Thanks! Subscribed :D

  • thanks man! and sick ass beat tho!

  • you rocks.

  • Nice Tutorial

  • do you got any tips for a dubstep/drum and bass producer?

  • WOW my friend. BEST tutorials ever!

  • Hey Agnivesh.

    Is it really a good idea putting compressor in the master channel?

  • @BestRogueEu yes! compressor is a louder machine :P

  • @Agniveshbaghel No its not.

  • @Agniveshbaghel I beg to differ, I causes clipping on the resonance sounds (high frequencies) ...

  • @Mega12475 I'm assuming your commenting on putting a compressor on the master track. Yes it is fine to do so. All albums today are mastered through some multiband comp. And you are in a way correct. Compressing the master is fine as long as you mix the tracks properly before mastering. Otherwise, you could lose all dynamics and the compression on a loud drum and loud instrumentals could clash with each other and cancel each other out.

  • @BestRogueEu No its not. its an good too put an multiband mastering compressor, but not like this.

  • @BestRogueEu Depends on what your intentions are for the track. For home mixing fine, but if you are planing on releasing a track when you get to the mastering stage it's better to send an uncompressed file to the engineer who will do this for you. Also contrary to the other response you had, it's not compression that makes a mix loud, it's limiting that does. Focus on getting the mix right first and formost.

  • @BestRogueEu je confirme aussi, ça enrobe ta compo justement, tu nettoi et corrige les hautes et basses fréquences grâce à ça.

  • I'm running an older version of FL (9.0.3) and it opens just fine. Just thought you guys should know. (:

  • where did you get your skin for the mixer to do that?

  • @DJWine nevermind just got it thanks

  • @DJWine its fl studio 10

  • lol at them waves in mixer, how did u do that?

  • @dacads It's in the drop down in the mixer, it's a new feature in FL Studio 10. Go to View in the drop down menu and choose Wider channels, Wave View, or Regular

  • thanks man

  • u not sayin how to do the shyt

  • @blizz5150 did you read the tittle haha?

  • @blizz5150 Lol, you talk funny.

    And you download the FLP and learn yourself. Don't be 5 about this.

  • can i use the same settings for rap instrumentals ?

  • @mcscena hmm actually no. but this setting will give you some loudness to your tracks.

  • @mcscena check my song "Contemplations", I did it with FL studio. Let me know if you want me to post a vid showing you how.

  • this was very useful, tanks man!

  • I don't get what your doing when your side chaining, i know what side chain compression is but your not linking anything to the volume all you do is add a compressor?

  • @Inphanity i linked the channel at 1:14

  • @Agniveshbaghel So you just click on the channel you want to side chain from (kick drum) and then click "enable send from kick to (example: Pad)"

    It would say that in the top left when you hover the button you clicked right?

  • @Inphanity watch my sidechain tutorial for avoiding any confusions

  • Haha, this guy was all over the place....

    The only useful tip I got was to use more of the vst presets

  • i use fl studio and i want to know how to master the song. i want to listen the songs as professional. is this going to help?

  • @blinkzh yeah that's why i made this video

  • How do you change the display in the mixer channels?

  • @hughcronic you'll need to have fl 9.6 or later for this look

  • @Agniveshbaghel Nice figured out you can also donwload skins that will also chnage the color of not just the peak meter but your whole interface

  • Great tutorial, but i'm using FL Limiter and T-racks on the Master Channel :)

    I used to use Limiter & Compressor with the same preset

    and before all this i simply used Maximus and EQ'ed the whole track

    Thank you! :)

  • @festek I often use Fruity's Soft Clipper on the master channel, and nothing more! Works fine for me. 

  • @weepingpirate but without any of what i mentioned, i find the sound in the end really low. Unlike tracks made by professionals.

  • @festek I know what you mean. But, if you mix your track correctly, the track will sound a lot better, even wihout adding anything in the master channel. And, you can always master your track afterwards. WaveLab is a good mastering software. I recommend it!

  • Nice tut, But i dont get why your peaking so much, Turn the gain down a weeee bit <3

  • @alexxj220 it was peaking at the beginning of this video just to show how to fix it. at the end it is not peaking :)

  • hye, awesome tutorial :)

    but i wounder, how did you get the sound "showing" in every mixer channel? i mean the waves that gose down on every mixer channel. If you get me x)
