00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:04,670
Before we dive into some of these
mixes together, I wanted to give
2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,860
you some additional notes on how
to use the mixes in this course,
3
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:13,030
and I want you to know exactly
what to expect from these mixed
4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,070
walkthroughs before we get into
them.
5
00:00:15,610 --> 00:00:18,020
The goal in this course, I said it
before and I'll say it throughout
6
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:21,090
the course, is this course is not
about how well I can mix.
7
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:24,700
It's about how well you can mix O
in each and everyone of these
8
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:27,920
mixes. I'm going to leave a select couple
9
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:31,460
of things, two or three things
unfinished that I think you could
10
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:35,720
pick up where I left off and
enhance in one of the tracks.
11
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:37,760
I might recommend that you do
vocal rides.
12
00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:40,980
I specifically didn't do one of
the last most important steps in
13
00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:44,220
one of the tracks vocal rides
because I wanted to leave that for
14
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:45,100
you to do.
15
00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:45,760
I wanted to.
16
00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:49,910
Listen to it with you and say
we've got this track pretty much
17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,600
done, but there's one last step to
do and I want you to finish it.
18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,140
There's another track where I
suggest.
19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,180
Let's do a little bit of sample
replacement on this.
20
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:02,650
We've again gotten the mix 90 % of
the way there.
21
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:05,019
I want you to take the last little
10 %.
22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,660
Maybe I would reshape the low end
slightly by finding a sample
23
00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:12,590
that's going to help augment or
replace the kick drum we have here
24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,850
and just give a slightly different
spin.
25
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:17,510
There's another track with a wrap
vocal where you have some
26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,010
puncheons and I've smoothed them
out considerably compared to where
27
00:01:21,020 --> 00:01:22,010
they were on the rough mix.
28
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:23,550
But I think you could do a last
29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,790
little bit of a stage of equating
to bring them even a little bit.
30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,990
Or into alignment.
31
00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:29,660
So in each one of these tracks,
32
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:32,990
I'm going to leave at least
something last little thing undone
33
00:01:33,070 --> 00:01:35,450
that I want you to enhance on your
end.
34
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:39,030
Because I want to drive home that
idea that this is not about me
35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,510
doing the perfect mix and then
giving it to you guys is here's
36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,810
the mix set in stone.
37
00:01:44,990 --> 00:01:47,020
No, I want to give you ideas for
38
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:47,780
how to mix.
39
00:01:47,790 --> 00:01:49,440
I want to give you ideas for
40
00:01:49,450 --> 00:01:53,410
opening up these sessions
yourself, either from scratch, in
41
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:56,250
your own DAW, using your own
favorite plugins.
42
00:01:56,810 --> 00:02:01,280
Or taking the pretty much finished
mix I did for you and having at
43
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:04,470
least a few extra things you can
do in them, because I want you to
44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
get in the habit of solving
problems for yourself, trusting
45
00:02:07,610 --> 00:02:10,160
your own judgment, your own taste,
and your own instincts.
46
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:14,110
In each of these cases, I think
that you'll find that the mix that
47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,270
I do sounds better, I think and I
hope, than the rough mix in here.
48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,550
But this is ultimately a matter of
taste, matter of judgment, a
49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,820
matter of style, a matter of
preference.
50
00:02:25,450 --> 00:02:29,220
There might be times where you
think maybe my mix could go a
51
00:02:29,230 --> 00:02:32,420
little less bright than it did, or
a little brighter than it did,
52
00:02:32,430 --> 00:02:34,800
where I could goose up the vocals
a little bit more, I could tuck
53
00:02:34,810 --> 00:02:36,830
them back.
And if you think any of those
54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,050
things about my mix, you're right.
55
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:41,640
If you prefer to hear things a
56
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:43,400
different way, you're right.
57
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:46,510
And particularly if the client is
58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,540
someone other than you, thinks
that they would sound better
59
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:50,530
different way they are, right.
60
00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:52,660
My opinion and my instincts and
61
00:02:52,670 --> 00:02:55,340
where I want to go here on each of
these mixes.
62
00:02:55,410 --> 00:02:58,160
There's just one vision for how
this could turn out.
63
00:02:58,340 --> 00:03:01,620
Again, the point of this course is
not to listen to my mixes and take
64
00:03:01,630 --> 00:03:02,600
them as the gold standard.
65
00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:04,360
If this is how mix should sound,
66
00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:08,430
it's to give you insights into a
process that is going to allow you
67
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,530
to get to your end vision much
more quickly, much more easily
68
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:13,390
than ever before.
69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,310
So I want to give you that
70
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,020
overarching framework.
If you disagree with some of my
71
00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:19,690
mixed choices, you're right.
72
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:21,770
Go in there and do different mix
73
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:24,610
choices that suit your
preferences, your taste better.
74
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:25,800
There is no right.
75
00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:28,760
One way to mix any track.
76
00:03:29,140 --> 00:03:32,090
Every person is going to bring
their own taste, their own values,
77
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:36,590
their own subjective judgments to
what should and shouldn't happen
78
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,530
in these mixes.
79
00:03:37,540 --> 00:03:39,250
And if you have differing opinions
80
00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:43,250
on what to do, that's awesome,
because it gives you a reason to
81
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:46,630
open these tracks up from scratch,
the DAW of your choice, and do
82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,510
them start to finish.
83
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,230
Do them top to bottom on your own
84
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,580
time. Couple other things I want to let
85
00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:53,860
you know about how to use these
tracks.
86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,020
In each of these I've used a
different law, and in each of
87
00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:00,440
these mixes I've used nothing but
stock plugins.
88
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280
There is a mix in here with no
tools using nothing but stock
89
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,770
plugins in Pro Tools.
90
00:04:05,780 --> 00:04:07,950
There is a mix in here in Ableton
91
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,300
Live using nothing but stock
plugins in Ableton Live.
92
00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:14,010
There's a mix in here and logic
using nothing but stock plugins in
93
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:16,730
logic. And one of the reasons I did this
94
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:20,709
is to show you that the
techniques, the approach matter
95
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,160
more than the plugins.
96
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:24,590
Could I have gotten a slightly
97
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,220
better?
Nicks and some of these cases by
98
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:28,690
using my preferred plugins of
choice.
99
00:04:29,230 --> 00:04:31,300
Yeah, probably, and it probably
would have been quicker.
100
00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:34,130
I would have had to like learn
Ableton to do one of the mixes and
101
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:36,500
spend some of the mixing time
learning the quirks of Ableton.
102
00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:39,160
So maybe I could have done even
better using my own boutique
103
00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:41,190
plugins that I prefer to use.
104
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:43,200
But I think you can see that even
105
00:04:43,210 --> 00:04:46,670
using really basic tools you can
get reasonably professional
106
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,210
sounding mixes that might sound
even a little bit better than
107
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:51,600
someone else's reasonably
professional sounding mixes.
108
00:04:52,130 --> 00:04:54,520
But when you do these for
yourself, you don't have to use
109
00:04:54,530 --> 00:04:55,810
nothing but stock plugins.
110
00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:57,340
I did use nothing but stock
111
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:59,400
plugins A to demonstrate this
principle, but also B.
