So you are running a record label and you didn't manage to even route the audio correctly to prevent a shitty ghetto tutorial? This is some cheap stuff not worth a second.

jojojojo

[JoeyRec]

Haha you retard. Keep it in the red?

In case you didnt know that creates digital distortion.. one of the reasons why your tracks probably sound like shit.

[ObsidianRecording]

Chessboard is mostly correct; however in modern music (excluding classical music and other purist genres) you will always compress the kick and bass, and most often the rest of the drums.

[ande1718]

To flatten them in the compressor lower the threshold and boost the gain. Then use strong compression ratio

[bnyce777]

ARE THE KICK DRUM AND SUB-BASS AT THE SAME LEVEL? dO YOU USE A LIMITER AT THE END OF THAT SHAIN OR JUST AS IT IS?

[thebrokenchessboard]

You shouldn't need a limiter. EQ and compression are more than enough.

Mixing starts with the kick (then drums) and bass. You could knock your whole mix out.

Bypass your effects, put your faders at zero. Raise the kick to a decent level. It should "sit" on the floor so it doesn't have to be loud. Louder equals higher.

Now slowly raise your bass to a decent level. Pull it back when the bass starts to take over. The kick should always just poke through.

You may not even need EQ/Compression.

[Dubreak]

Hey man, cool tutorial. Thanks for that, best of luck on the next few. Would be worth watching alright, definitely more interesting than the usual 'cat back-flipping into a toilet' type of youtube video. ;-)
