hey there's Justin Coletti of Sonic's
2
00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:04,140
coop and today in this week's episode of
3
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:06,480
sonic scoop podcast I want to hip you to
4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,200
a tip that is super useful it is one of
5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,990
these secrets in mixing and particularly
6
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:16,049
in setting balances in the mix that a
7
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:18,210
lot of people don't get clear about
8
00:00:18,210 --> 00:00:20,160
early on and I want you to get clear on
9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,510
it now because if you get clear out
10
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:24,660
you're gonna get mixed balances arguably
11
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:26,760
the most important part of mixing you're
12
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,920
gonna get them right so much quicker and
13
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,289
so much earlier on and this is
14
00:00:31,289 --> 00:00:35,190
absolutely huge it is such a small but
15
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:38,160
such a game-changing insight into the
16
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,290
way that mixing and setting levels and
17
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:42,750
balances actually works that just
18
00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:45,300
clearing this up in your mind can have a
19
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,820
ripple effect into every balanced
20
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:51,449
decision that you make this is a trick
21
00:00:51,449 --> 00:00:53,760
or a tip or a tactic or really it's an
22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,460
overall mindset then I usually don't
23
00:00:56,460 --> 00:00:58,289
share outside of my full length of
24
00:00:58,289 --> 00:01:00,090
mixing break through his course I never
25
00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:01,620
have shared it outside that course
26
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:03,600
before but hey it's about time I'm
27
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,040
feeling generous today I want to help
28
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,840
you out I think is gonna be super useful

balances even faster whether it really
33
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:18,869
clarified this part of mixing and a
34
00:01:18,869 --> 00:01:21,689
level setting for you before I get to
35
00:01:21,689 --> 00:01:23,880

where we go into the five habits of
59
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,420
great mixers okay so here it is today's
60
00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:19,600
strategy today's mindset is you're never
61
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,750
going to get the right phaedra setting
62
00:02:22,750 --> 00:02:23,830
right away
63
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:25,750
you're never gonna put the fader they're
64
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:27,670
in the right spot the first time and be
65
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:28,300
done with it
66
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,780
stop thinking that you're going to
67
00:02:30,780 --> 00:02:33,910
getting the right balance is really all
68
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:37,270
about honing in on the right balance
69
00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:41,370
it's a little bit like tuning a guitar
70
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:44,920
honing in on the right balance means
71
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,050
that whenever you move the fader to try
72
00:02:47,050 --> 00:02:49,000
to find the right level for a new sound
73
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,680
that you're bringing in or trying to
74
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,660
establish the right level for there is
75
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:54,370
this game there's this wiggle that
76
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:56,230
happened and it's the same thing that
77
00:02:56,230 --> 00:02:58,030
happens when you turn a guitar or tune a
78
00:02:58,030 --> 00:03:00,190
piano if you've never tuned a guitar a
79
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,540
turn into piano it's something like this
80
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:04,180
you start hitting the string and you go
81
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:07,209
up up up to the note until you think
82
00:03:07,209 --> 00:03:08,110
you've reached it but you're not a
83
00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:10,150
hundred percent sure so you go a little
84
00:03:10,150 --> 00:03:12,850
too high and now you're sure that you're
85
00:03:12,850 --> 00:03:15,400
sharp so now you go back flat again and
86
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,070
now you're sure that you've flat so now
87
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:19,810
you come right back up a little bit and
88
00:03:19,810 --> 00:03:22,720
now you're in tune and it's the same way
89
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,730
with approaching a fader
90
00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:27,820
you need a reference point what is too
91
00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:30,700
loud what is too quiet and the way to
92
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,220
discover that is let's say you've
93
00:03:33,220 --> 00:03:34,989
already brought in some instruments and
94
00:03:34,989 --> 00:03:38,049
now you're bringing in your bass and you
95
00:03:38,049 --> 00:03:39,190
want to find just the right place for
96
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:41,590
your bass bring it up so that you know
97
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:43,230
it is too loud
98
00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:45,970
you might not know immediately what the
99
00:03:45,970 --> 00:03:47,980
right spot is for it and that's normal
100
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:50,380
but you're gonna know what too loud is
101
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:52,600
so you bring it up until it's too loud
102
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,160
and make a mental note of how high that
103
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,220
fader is when it's too loud now you're
104
00:03:57,220 --> 00:03:59,320
gonna know when it's too quiet so bring
105
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,579
it down to a point where it is too quiet
106
00:04:02,579 --> 00:04:04,840
again you might not know where the
107
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,130
perfect place for that fader is but
108
00:04:06,130 --> 00:04:07,690
you're gonna know when it's too quiet
109
00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:10,750
so set those boundaries for yourself
110
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:13,239
bring it up so just to the point where
111
00:04:13,239 --> 00:04:14,769
yeah that's too loud okay we've just
112
00:04:14,769 --> 00:04:17,380
gotten into too loud and then too quiet
113
00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:19,239
and now you know that the right place
114
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:20,500
for your fader is somewhere in between
115
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,539
them and you can kind of go through the
116
00:04:22,539 --> 00:04:24,880
process again bring it up you know maybe
117
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,020
round where it was
118
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:27,639
before can I push it a little louder and
119
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:29,379
then bring it down so it's a little bit
120
00:04:29,379 --> 00:04:31,479
more quiet and you're honing in to the
121
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:34,060
right spot it's the way you tune a
122
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:36,580
guitar or a violin or a piano some
123
00:04:36,580 --> 00:04:37,870
people don't realize that they're doing
124
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:39,460
because they've gotten so good at it and
125
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:41,229
the same is true with setting your
126
00:04:41,229 --> 00:04:43,840
levels in the mix people who are really
127
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:45,610
good at mixing really fast are doing
128
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:47,500
this so fast without even thinking about
129
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:50,440
or realizing they're even doing it now
130
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,810
it is possible for you to not do this
131
00:04:52,810 --> 00:04:55,030
approach where you can still kind of get
132
00:04:55,030 --> 00:04:56,470
it you're starting to bring things up
133
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:58,210
and you're bringing them up just until
134
00:04:58,210 --> 00:05:01,509
the point where maybe we're there I
135
00:05:01,509 --> 00:05:04,210
think right there okay let's stop now
136
00:05:04,210 --> 00:05:07,630
and maybe you'll get it that way but
137
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:08,860
you're always gonna be a little more
138
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:10,900
uncertain and probably a little slower
139
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:12,940
then if you just bring it up and go for
140
00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:14,139
it you know what overshoot a little bit
141
00:05:14,139 --> 00:05:16,330
you know what bring it back down now
142
00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:18,099
bring it right back up and the key here
143
00:05:18,099 --> 00:05:20,349
being that you're setting parameters
144
00:05:20,349 --> 00:05:23,020
boundaries for yourself a danger line
145
00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:24,490
where you know let's not go any hotter
146
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:26,020
than this and a danger line where you
147
00:05:26,020 --> 00:05:27,789
know let's not go any quieter than this
148
00:05:27,789 --> 00:05:29,860
and it makes it much easier to find the
149
00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:31,750
groove in the middle that's really going
150
00:05:31,750 --> 00:05:34,960
to work it is such a simple idea but
151
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,479
such a big one and it can really unlock
152
00:05:37,479 --> 00:05:40,240
mixing speed and confidence in setting
153
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,159
levels for yourself if you take it
154
00:05:42,159 --> 00:05:44,620
seriously this is one of my favorite
155
00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:46,990
little tips that has big results from
156
00:05:46,990 --> 00:05:48,940
the mixing breakthrough his course and
157
00:05:48,940 --> 00:05:50,740
mixing breakthroughs is really all about
158
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:53,080
coming up with an overall strategy a
159
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,690
roadmap a framework a blueprint that you
160
00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:58,270
can apply to every single mix so that
161
00:05:58,270 --> 00:06:00,699
you know how to start what to do in the
162
00:06:00,699 --> 00:06:03,039
middle and how to finally finish and
163
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:05,560
know that you're done do you like this
