Transcripts

1. Intro: Hi, The wonders are like this. Then this class is for you to reggae music workplace or your imply x marks on PC games. I decided to give away my music production sequence. Those who wish to sound professional and avoid Varela melodies, muddy mixes, white masters, old rag down my song nowadays. And they give you a step-by-step process of all you can reach a similar level of sound. We'll do a deep look into combos in Robitussin, mixing and mastering. So you've got to learn the secrets on obliged to your truck warranty you that this class will change some of the ways you produce music. That sounds good for you. Let's get started. 2. Composing Your Track: Welcome guys to the Cyberpunk masterclass. Joel, legalistic words of sharp bone, easy for jumper right ahead into the production side, the production stage. A real love to write the music first two, what do I mean by that? For me, the composition is the most important part of the song. Can position or songwriting depending on how you want to college. About, can boast. Reading sun will always be a bad produced mixed, a master shot. That is what I'm talking about here. The composition side is the most important part of the song. That's what we're going to do right here. There's your fault. Have a musical reference or multiple musical reference. In this case, I really encourage you to have a playlist of cyber punk music. The second thing, open a blank project with just a piano. That's it. Start with a blank project when you start writing your music. So what did I did here? Let's listen to this. So as you can see, that is the most important part of the track. And you will, they're in the prediction stage wise. So how did I did this? Setup the brakes around 80 to 110 dBm, this case a birthday song in 86 BPM. So do I start writing? You can ride in different things. Sometimes I have as Melody my head, and I just put it into him here by just thinking. So e.g. that I wanted to grade something like June to go into daunted during the during the duodenum, doing, don't recall in my brain. Your neurons are doing in this case, as you can see, the VPN can change depending on what you want to emit. This case, I'm going to put it a little bit like 100, maybe. Enjoying the job to job. That's how I write it. So that's basically how you would write it. This is the most important part of the song and you all are in the production stage. Why? But yeah, that's basically that's your baseline right there. Then after dotted, you can add a little bit more stuff like as you can continue the trial, just like that is very simple. You can also use this gales. I personally did not. Going to explain you super carefully how I do use his guilt because I do not I'm not used to use a lot of scales, but if you want, you can be guided by a scale. So e.g. there's a new start writing, right? So that's basically, that's how you write it. The next stage, which is the production stage, jewelry and why this is the most crucial step in the whole process. And you will learn a lot of marketing. So see you in the next stage. 3. Producing Your Drums: Now that we have the core truck written, because burdensome good thing off the production stage as the luxury stage, you start, beginning sounds that match with the references or what we watch you have in your head. That's why their composition is the most important part, was your playlist of all the music you want to have. Once you have the music written, I'll do have to do it. Just search sounds, put them together, and that's it. So e.g. you remember the first stage? We basically this now e.g. I'll do you have to do is copy this? Maybe with other harmonies, which are these ones, right? You copy this and put them into a base. In this case is this. So we're going to see is the same as you can see. That is the thing that you have to do. Now. You have basically your song, read and write and record tribe is when. So now you have to have, not, what you have to do is to layer this sounds are symbols, daddy. So before going to the base, I went to LA, I love to first go into the drums first. So these are the drawings that I made. As you're gonna see, super simple, but also has a lot of layers. So what did I, why did I beat? So burst node is to start with the kick. A layered a kid like four times. Why did I leave that on? Weiss die? On how to do that, right? I first started with this one, with a main one, which is this one. Let's put these together into a new butter. I started with this one. As you can see, it does a very good just like that. But if you have headphones, you understand what ya, but it really has here. Without any mixing. This sounds like this. Very cold cake. Very tense, very good. The brown with that, is that a one in something that has a little bit more of low-end, my low into a little bit more base your right, a little bit more punchy in the lows. So what I did was to add these beautiful EQ, I could sound fragrances that I thought they weren't necessary or brilliant much not relevant to what I wanted. The lowest two. And that's how basically they did it. This is the first thing that I did. Now for the second case, we have different gifts. So my wondering this necessary radius, necessary drugs, so many layers into just a cake? The answer is, it depends. It depends on your production style. This is not technically correct or not correct. This is where the creative process kicks in, right? So as long as your kicks sounds very good, Everything is good in this gig, e.g. I. It's part of the yard. But as you can see, it doesn't have the lowest either. Without any mixing. This is how it sounds. Alright? As it goes, if this is something very minimal, and this is the main one, this is layer good one. This is the kick, this sub cake. What he loved the goal. If you listen to headphones and if you see this spectrum here, it's pretty much at the love. Without this. This is how it sounds. Doesn't good, but it lacks body lags. That bunching is in the vowels, and I really love how this sound. I also add a second layer of the third layer of cake that I call the second texture gig, which is this one. It sounds like a little bit of acoustic. I wanted to give like that texture to my drums. So e.g. in this case, this is like, it sounds like natural key from a drunk cake. Without the mixing, this is how it sounds. We're mixing these sounds. So as you can see, a vase, that's, that's basically how you layer cakes. Now, the other part, this is the cytidine. If you are producing before, then you need to have been purchasing before. I did not I do not. Wood layers into the side chain. So it just this the main cake, the main gig Dibble gated and brought it into a sighted child. Child is to put a free limb or go to the you're going to have it like that. The big compression part, cytidine, Woodside giant, aunt, lower the threshold, lowered. The nice if you want to put it right here, like this, like this, do help us. H. Now this nerve, everybody complains about this narrative in electronic music. How do I get my nerdiest sound very good. With the answer, might depend. So I have a woman who's now on several layers of a sinner is the main star. This is how it sounds with other mixing. This is how it sounds with the meeting without width. So as you can see, it's very differential rights and with less body, less laws. And it turns out a little bit more brighter than num brighter. I did put a little bit of try and shins processor in this. The nurse sounds very sharp, right? But with less sharp, right? So it's less punchy. Know that first layer of this narrow is my very, very, very soluble regressions. I just put their full volume. You can notice it. But it's very subtle. Some of the very solid color layer. The way that I did, this was the same. I just put it. I wanted something doesn't hurt to have like a melodic tone. This case, I just pulled the things that complemented this nerve is that of adding more aroma noise to this nerve. So that's the main thing is I was done with the bags. This is how it sounds. Without any effects. One begs off. The axon, looks off the Gaussian, just the same roman that we're working with cyber punk style. So this sounds like a big change or something recently introduced to these hi-hat sound. Very unique. I duplicate it. So it sounds like a normal high. It's very but a double gated. This narrative. Hi, hi. So now it says leg a little bit more like flog are solving. So it's like a little bit more organic or something. So that's basically how I do the drums. In the bar chart of the prediction stage. You're going to learn how to make the base and got really UC saga bunk base. So yeah. See you in the next part. 4. Producing Your Extreme Basslines: Now finally, how to make strings over bunk baselines. Let's get right into it. This is one I did. In the first part. You have to add the main composition first. And this is why you will learn that is the most important part of the whole track. So what I did was after you did the composition part, which is this one, I copy a baseline and bought it being to an actual baseline. So e.g. there's there with this one. I based it and that's all I have to do. The boot anymore nodes on the boot and new nodes. And I just have to copy and paste what evading the composition part. This case, this isn't the same thing and this is how it sounds. That isn't first layer. Some people have asked me, how do you have different layers for the base. Others that possible. Is that possible? How did you prevent? Today we're going to have facing issues. Facing issues is when two sounds collide and they sound mono or some of the light die, right? So, so what I did, and the key here to do with layering different elements into our sun or just on the base. But what a song completes on these to make them. So I talked about before about going through it step-by-step first, you can pose and then you produce a video mix, and then you muster. But I really love to mix when I'm processing so I can have more space for layering. So in this case, the main base, right? This is how it sounds without any effects. As you can see, it covers a lot of the frequency spectrum of the song. That it's a little bit bad. Why? Because when we are layering, what we have to do is to cover different parts of the spectrum. So e.g. the more salvage it covers more of the spectrum of the track, the more difficult it is to layer it. So in this case, this is the base without any effects. And as you can see, the main thing that I did, it was just an equalizer without, with effects. So when that affects only the equalizer, you will notice that I took out the lows. It's put it here. So as you can see, that is very important. We're laying base is very important to the laws of every base. And said This Sundays. And instead of some basis that you want to have in this part, which is the bass part, right? Roman, that is subways and then base. So the best way to layer new firm basis is to have different kind of textures in this part. In this other part, the low mids to the almost troubled, that's basically it. Now, this is something that I wanted to mention in the process of mixing. A really cool thing that I love to do in the bass part is to have a grip or Java main channel of all the basis. So as you can see, this one is linked to this channel called basis. Right? After that long introduction on how to layer, you simply just layer more sounds without any fix. This, how would I EQ it just needed this. Next comes this one. As you can see, I didn't, couldn't these base part, right? So then this one, this one I did add some effects like LGBT. Let's hear how it sounds without any effects. Purple, purple, purple, purple, purple. So as you can see in this work, some of these Bard's main thing is to, the main thing in production is to select really cool sounds, layer stuff, right? The mixing stage, which is something that we're kind of mixing with the production stage. Making those sounds sound very good together. Without any effects, it sounds very moody. And that's when I realized. So I just wanted that tinting, dinging, purple, purple, that cool transient right there. I just want him that. So how did I do that? First, I EQ, go the basis on the basis at 0 T, T 100%. You can see it adds a little bit of noise to which I really like our segment AQ. This guys, what you can do is they may view if surgeon frequencies, whether you, you can simply give them a little bit like that. So I just come in as a vesicle it almost the last layer of this base. So you can see without effects where the facts, the main thing is just digging out frequencies. The last base layer or less than this butter, because we have a little bit more base layers later on. Is this Josie Ghazi, you don't have the layer everything sometimes years layering, use one sound, just certainly notes. Just to add a little bit of emphasis to the base. Base is added sound without any effects. Sounds with the equalizer. That's how I did it mean baseline. So after a VDS, what I love to do is to render this baseline, then chop it. Let me explain what I mean. If we're explaining how I did these baseline how this whole baseline came to be in the mixed group that I told you, you select everything, e.g. every single layer of maize, it is here, right? This case aren't this one until it, there's one. There's one, there's one. All of them are in the base. The base is child. So what did I did here? Let's activate effects. Let's go through them. So first you have another Kenyans you just in case. Then I added one transpire. Inside the base of the sound, the sound of the bass or the solid to be more punchy than I, the air compressor. And then another EQ. So as you can see right now, the bass sounds much more, less, so they're less moody. Why is that? Remember that we're mixing. So we'll have other Keq with a sub gig, with a lot of other layers. This spectrum right here is very important. If your cerebellum references, I really encourage you to buy a song, maybe on Bandcamp or, or in some other places that sell music digitally and put them into Sunday spectrum, just like spam. And be guided by that. So e.g. I. Can blow the musical reference that I had for this drug in particular. But let me play the final. So this is the final brewmaster. I live. You notice a lot of the trace on fungi are bunk, can be very similar in to hold this frequency spectrum is shape it, the shape. Traverse humbling, this case, this song. It looks like this, right? And you're going to love this for free by the way. It looks like this. So on my reference frog, it also look like this, like this kind of Montana right ear, their right here. I'm not aware. But it's like that's the main visual of how you can guide yourself by while your references from your playlist buddy here into the truck. And then they analyzed the frequency spectrum right over here. This call then makes your drug and bad ways. So e.g. you're going to see basis very similar to what I'm reaching this case. It was rated but understand the point. So that's how I did it even more of elements here in the bass part, of course decided giant loop. Now for making the base a little bit more interesting, what I did was this render debase their dad. You can literally just chop it, but any part of the base like this, until you get something like this. As you can see, it's much more interesting. So that's how I do the trick for the base. After those bases, I actually added some more layers. I added this layer, which is this one. There's one, there's one other browsers. You go on and on and none. That's how you layer basis and that's how you made your basis. So hope you enjoyed the next part. We're going to focus on how to make the track a little bit more atmospheric. So far, this is what we have. Well, the basis that explain to you how to do it. The other moral layer basis, baselines, bond. Lastly, but not least, everything, That's it. I also added another layer or this nerve. And there's little snares as well. So it's a bar. We have the dramas where the base, this is how it sounds with what we have learned so far. The next part, I will explain you how to make atmospheres on how to make the track sounds even righter than what we have right now. See you there. 5. Producing Synths and New Sections Of Your Track: So last week where we did was to make the bass drums. And this is what we have so far. No, the beginning of this class, I promise you that I will give you the secret also to make several music, even if you don't have light go super high-performing BC. Which is the reason why you see so many arrangement on all that. So many is dove in here, out of place. I'm going to show you that in the process that we're going through. But in the meantime, and that is what we have so far for the sins and atmospheres. I'll like to Buddhist off. And by the way, this is not a solid assigning glass. I believe recommend you to have to do Laude, summer bonk sound effects. And all the sudden it begs, but I'll just talk about Banca resets, whether it's for serum or for Flex. The red cool. So let's start with them first. Atmosphere. This is how it sounds like just a bad on dose. The route node would it all over here. So lets it is before mixing it. This is after mixing it. As you can see, just below seven progresses. Next, we're going to go for their sins and to ambient or atmospheric sounds. Really good in cyber punk. Because remember that the base was actually the thing that we need. He took us but most of the time. So to complement that and to make the drug salt fuller, we have to add elements, elements that are less powerful or punching. So we have that once it comes in these beautiful synth, as you can see, it's very cool. Have you see, you know, I'm not adding any other nodes to these drug. The note we're already made where basically he was filling this base to make this song a little bit more fuller ride in the whole portions of music production and mixing. The key here is to make this song, song Fuller. Fuller as possible, right? And what I mean, fuller, it can the bend of the song, you can the bend of your vision. You can have benefited Jarrod. But in general, I mean, that it has to be something like hole, right? Again, it's all just like everything hobby, like like these e.g. a. Good, a lot of brokers inspiration for that example. But it cannot sell like that. He has to sell an S4 as possible. Of course, respecting the dynamic frequency or did dynamic image, however, these dark cold, all the Jarrah. So e.g. trying music, you already saw it with his band in the previous sections. And with this one is the same, right? So a fuller as possible. But don't over saturated. The gears to have a main theme. Always be the focus. So e.g. when we compose it a try when we brought it first, the main thing, the main thing that is still remaining as the main focus is the base. So by focusing on that specific way and making everything so as full as possible. Around the base. We have a really great summer one drug that is for debt ambiance is about, as you can see, it's super simple, use OneNote. But it really adds, the truck really makes the drug a little bit more dense or mark tense even as you're going to see against the Lego sensation or moreover atmosphere of sci-fi futurism, etc. This is how it sounds without any buds or ambiance. Again, sounds good, but if you want to add a little bit more over onions, I really recommend to have different elements, different scents and different audiences. So next is the question, why they strike looks so Grayson. And this is the secret that I'm going to give you and share with you. If you have your video, if you don't have a powerful BZ. So in this, in this song, I privileged mated with, with an old laptop. You can see the two here on the screen. And unfortunately the lab tub. Fortunately, it was like very cool to have a lab to lasted so long, to have an optimized for the best. Unfortunately, the laptop wasn't able to kind of handle a lot of sounds in a velocity. What's the normal lab tube, like a university laptop. It wasn't a mag group. You just I still love the way. It is another bad and good. But the latter wasn't enough. You know, she could have run this e.g. this one I'm going to play, going to run it, right? So I have to export several times this song in a different section of the sun. Here, Shari needed alliterate and justice supported this Boyd internal arrangement. As you can see, curious. The biggest thing. So let's see what we have here. You have these little songs. I live in more basis, more layers to that baseline. Again, this is the main thing of the firebombed music. Unless somebody's, if you have headphones, you can listen to them. And this gives us just like a sine wave, the sub bass. As you can see, you see the way that we mixed. We literally give a lot of space to the sub base. Remember that we have a sub cake and the cake that have, that covers the base frequencies. And same with the sub bass, in this case it's subways. So bias is going to cover just the sub bass frequencies. So frequencies. What a sighted child, remember two sided Chen in every single element. Here's a fact. This is another thing I can really over-explain. Something that I haven't told you yet is that I use one channel border rumored. So e.g. this cell has been linked to this chart. All right. What does this child have? A reverb? I pulled the dried, which is the dry signal from the synth that you have shared just now. And just lower the volume all the way. Well the wet into around attitude, you can put it at 100%. I boarded this time a12, this gated a gay, I just bolded 4 s. That's it. Mogul chops. It makes him feel amazing. This little, little sound, little synth. A lot of these things. They're very cool. Now the way that I structured the solid was drop, umbrage, rest, raindrop, drop to show the way that you can structure your song. You can the bear, right? You may begin a boot or intro here. Very drop, drop, rest, bridge. Rob will drop two. It says, well, let's go to the bridge section. So this barge, someone would ask me, how do you do it the other parts. Right. I've shared some people hugs and make the drop. Right. So they had to steal the question of how they can do the rest of the drug. And this is very simple. So e.g. if you wanted to do like a bridge like this, where you're getting your J1 to transition to some other section of the track, when you can do is the following general aid you have, you have two options, right? Or do a more dense bar of the truck or a list in dense part of the drug, right? In this game, for me, the drop is 100% the highest intense part of the truck. Now I don't want to put more intensity into the drug and I don't want to repeat a truck over, over, over again. So what I do is to I have two options. I can make a transition to the rest, or I can make a smoother transition by putting on brooch on it. And this is what I did. I made all the drums less powerful. This is all the drums in the drop sound. This is home here sound. They sound less powerful. And that is the idea, right? I don't have, I don't want to put a lot of intensity into the next part because we already have all the intensity in the drop. But the bag that we bought in fifth drop. Same atmosphere. This case, this is the base that we, we rendered, right? Same. So here's a thin, That's why their compositions, the most important part. You can tweak the composition when you produce, you can change a little bit. But as you can see, the main thing of the drug is always going to be the main drop. What I did here was to, instead of making another baseline or can put just the first part of the base. So e.g. instead of putting this fall, I use the first part. That adds a lot of variety into the song that makes it more pleasurable because it will be half year. So yeah, that's the main part. The main hallway be the bridge. Some people asked me how to do how to transition from the first sections of the drug. That was from my might depend, of course. But the main way or some of the ways that you can transition from one part to another is one sound effects, right? As you can see, I just have this. Nothing else. Just by having the contrast of the two parts, it will do the job. After that. What you can do is the same thing as you can see. I don't have any crazy transition. Another way to make another transition is by having feels like Kensington tube or having some kind of more effects into the drag. Or by just simply fading away, right? Or just winning side effects. But the main way to do it is by making a sound epics, or the way that I needed in this case. Now let's go for the rest. Let's see what we have. In this case. I would a beach automation for that, but that's basically remember if you have a laptop that doesn't work as well as a computer, you can brand this. What I mean by branch. You can rendered out you can, you can export it. We had another arrangement and you put it here and you're going to see it is here. But what else did I did? So there's basically the rest. Now let's make the other part. See you there. 6. Producing Your Second Drop: Now you have the rest. The drop, the mid section or the bridge. Let's talk about the second drop. Here's a wig way of how you can do the same. You can simply copy the first rub, the same drums, the same everything onto either by writing, takes on drums out or put some drums out, or simply insert new LMS to the song. Curious how this second drop of the track sounds like. Okay, so the first thing that you notice is the change of rhythm. In the first Rob, you can hear them drums and the bass mesoglea blade seamlessly, right? You here for zero, for no var id on the drums. This gaze, we take out the drums several times, especially at the beginning of 4 bar. You don't have to do this, but this is the way that I felt that made sense. This is how the drums sound. The second drop. As it goes through, there's a lot of variety going on now, all in the drawings, but also in the whole drug too. So let's see what we have here. First. We have basically all the elements from the one. We just copy and paste it. I just added a new element, a Morse or Bryce into the truck. Well, the atmospheres, all the drugs like that base in this case, I've put it here. Here's the thing. This sound is actually the same sound that we render before. You can see. We're just adding some effects that made it sound a little bit more intersting. So e.g. where did these EQ? And then we added some of them like very broad ideas that are out here. We added agent job, fresh tube, made the sound way the storage and I really love it. I was thinking. So as you can see, everything is pretty much the same as the first drop. The first job is the most important one in my opinion, because everything has to be is the main thing of the tribe right? Now. The second drug, it can be similar, it can be totally different. It can be super different. So much in the sense of that can be even a different tempo or having a different rhythm, or it's an error. We ran their dad and dailies, and this is how it sounds. In this case. I also added even more layers. So yeah, that's pretty much it. As you can see, there's nothing too crazy about it. In just about having fun. I'm making this sound, the sound or regional, right? So and that's pretty much it. After the second drop, I just added a breach. As you can see, just the same thing that it did drop one. As you can see also, it is very different than the drug too. It adds that we're writing to it that continuity of what we already did. Now in the next section, I will talk about mixing. And after dad will atrophy. 7. Advanced Mixing Techniques: This lecture is about a quick talk on Nixon. As you're gonna see in the previous ones. In the production stage. I, they pretty much all the mixing. And I show you all how I mixed this song. What is the difference between mixing and mastering, right? Let's compare it to another thing, right? Let's say that you're hungry and you want to eat something, right? You mean our recipe. You maybe want, ah, like a Sunday trough or something. That's your recipe, even if you don't write it. That's it, the idea that you have for your song, right? And it's very important to be specific so you can satisfy your needs more. So that's why the main composition part is the most important part. Now, protesting the thing is, when you go to their groceries and you buy, those things, are seeing is about layering beginning sounds. So you make, has what you already have in mind, right? Mix it in. It's about mixing them together, putting them together and making sound, making this solid, e.g. or the sandwich, whatever, taste, very good. So that is the mixing stage, making your songs sung as good as possible, right? Or the mixing is not very obligated actually, as you can see, I treat it very simply. The main thing is I'm mixing are basically gain staging or adjusting the volumes. Sometimes you want to have a geek a little bit or to draw this a little bit more in the front. Or sometimes they'll even more in debug depending on what you think the priority is in the truck. So demonstrate the base IVC for a jumble in different songs or in different areas. The base is not their priority to. The main priority, Dean for assemble on vocal, pop music, e.g. is the vocals. They made sure the vocals. So I'm very loud, very clear. Now here's the difference. In suburban music. Well, we focused on was in the base. The base has to sound as good, as whole, as powerful as possible in this example. So that is the main focus. Different parts in different Jerry's can be different. In this case, you want the maze, the sun really loud, but also really clear. So yeah, the second main thing of mixing is basically EQ equalization. As you can see, I'd show you how I EQ every single element of the drug. There is calibration. Not every sound needs to compression, but sometimes Juanita sound, the sound, squish it down. If that makes sense, I think you understand. On the four elements that I believe it is Walden me, elements of mixing is basically the reverberation. A double mullet, how I have, I had a channel where you can put reverb on the sound. So we'll make that two to make this sound all that will be more closer to each other to do everything sound like in a room, so to speak. I want to mention that. Another point to make in the gain staging part is also based upon him, right? Gain staging and planning are the most important thing. Basically, when you burn things, you are putting the high Hudson in the left ear, e.g. or surgery sounds in the right ear. So maybe 50 per share, maybe a third percent, maybe he's 80%, right? That is the main thing on mixing, right? It's not super-complicated. Was super. Once you have it, very well, equalized. Welcome breast. Sometimes compression is not necessary, but very good equalization. You can do padding occurs. It's super hard to do it. What I like to do and what I love to do is to have like to start off to produce the whole track in mono. Write. That way. I can focus in searching things first. I can focus on only making the track sound as whole as possible. Then later, once I secured a track on a shared that he sounds as low as whole as possible. I bind it right. I start putting things in a stereo. This is crucial that goes digging these elements, they can, these are taking it step-by-step, will make you be better at making music posture. So in summary, the mixing stage, make sure to gray space in your mix, right? Surgeon sounds, heart surgeon frequencies, other sounds off certain frequencies. So make sure to have room for ****, right? Made sure to EQ them. This is the most EQ. Ah, the EQ is the most important thing in the try writing the mitosis stage. She might have been here as long as well as they gain staging and the panning of the track. But before going in stereo, make sure to enqueue them and to make sure that the frequency spectrum, so it's very similar to the track that you're going to compose or their reference torque that you have right there guys do have made it this far. I will teach you the secret mixing technique to mix and make bar folds, rungs. Their secret consists basically having a mixing group and put all the drums together like this. Live. You see, you can notice that the drums doesn't go into the master. So it goes here. It goes to this channel called drums. So I'll do you do that. You select all the alignments of all the elements of your drums and your colleague in the drums journal that you're going to send these instruments. You right-click in then wrote to this drug only. That will prevent to have multiple root. So e.g. this is how the drums sound like without any effects on it. As you can see, all of them go to the drums channel. And why we do this right version, we only routed to the drums because generally without these link, you will have something like this, right? You will have this nerve, route it to the master child. We don't want that. What we want is to only do the drums. So that's why we selected route to this channel only, right? So next, after doing that, you can add literally wherever you want. You can add, you can add compression. I added a compression but later on and deactivated. So you can see here. But this is the most important part. In order to avoid these kind of inconsistent dramas where we love to do is to put a fruity limiter on the drum sternal. What is this doing? I think it's pretty obvious if you see it. I basically, I'm limiting the drums so they don't get out of proportion. It might drag. Why do I do this? Without it? There were disabled. The drums look like, as you can see, this nerve sound way above the Keq. That is because we have this narrative and we have the gig below it, so it doesn't sound very good. This is all like it together, an adult or towards the whole person perception of the drums. So what is better? The Buddhist ceiling down just above the gig or listener or something like that. Did you have that way or if drums sound way better, right? You're going to see that Keq is not going anywhere. You can see this nerve is not going anywhere. You're going to see every single element of being, being suddenly very good. So that is a tube that is the secret technique. This also give those a lot of room for mastering. It's indented for a mixing stage. Let's go into the mastering stage. 8. Mastering Your Track: Now finally, mastering your cerebrum, drag this case. I just wanted to make a monster from his garage for you guys. So you can see how I must remind drugs. I just open a new session with just these elements. I have this song here. I just inserted into the volume master, which I will explain later on. Why do I duties? I have ozonide and Napoleon load is meter will explain this later on. This is how a base, basically Marshall MRI songs. We figure our wildlife the most loud, the loudest part of the song, which is this one that dropped two. We're going to bugs and that love ozone. What I'm doing, what I'm about to do, you can do it. We basically stopped blogging is it is not the same. I'm telling you it is not the same as having ozone. You dig missouri seriously. I really recommend it. They have a feature that you can get help from an AI, the mustard or songs. And they don't do the whole master. But they give you like us Dart goal of starch based on the reference that you have. That's quite, the musical reference is very important. So we're going to click here. Reference, what? Referring to strike. But this isn't me refresh. Click in the cysteine and it's going to analyse the whole thing. So as you can see the Assistant or the searcher and kind of things, right? So we have this EQ like this. We have all, they did not made it into the dynamics. They put some dynamics here. Then emic EQ aren't with the sun as loud as possible. So that is good with the activated some of those things. For now, we're going to focus in EQ. So the first thing that I really love to do in all my tracks used to have low-pass and high-pass filters. Let me explain this filter where I can put a brick wall into 18,000 hz, 30 hz with this kind of EQ, right? Ways that we don't really hear, wouldn't really listened to those two frequencies below this week, I'll listen to around 20,000, but this gives you a song. Room, can be loud. The next EQ is the same and brushing alike how they hold the assistant EQ ID? I don't like this. I will do this like this. In the base was just fine. Nia, and I do believe that it needs a lot of it. What else to do it is put their EQ into stereo instead of posterior. I put it on site. So if you all will listen to all the meetings, you can listen to drag in mono eye view. And we'll listen to the side. We can listen only this t-ratio of the tracker, which is kinda cool. I love to put an EQ here. Why do I do this? So we can create more space or more loudness for the drug. More space always means the chance and opportunity to make the track louder. So that's basically it put a little bit of ink here. That's basically it guys. It's very simple. There are very subtle changes, but they are very important. So now the dynamics, or in other words, we're going to call them compression. Like to do as you can see, they have like a really cool feature where you can Larry, what bands you want to grab intersect just, just to say that way. So we're going to start embracing this barge. Would RMS this song bird Eurasia around with 391 alive, but That's how you mix it. I'll do you mastered how you can break it. Sorry. As you can see, I was putting all the bands, right? Why do I do this? So this, the rachel on all of these kind of things are similar to each other. So yeah, very good. Activity, this one area, this vein. The cool thing about these compressor is that you can also put it in parallel or non bottle. Bottle all compression is not something to be fearful about, is yours. This is the dry signal. This is fully compressed. That is basically it. For the bass part, do the same. Let's measure how you do it. We can add the dynamic EQ, then add some other stuff. You're going to literally just live your life that and put a maximizer if you feel like the main thing of mastering if Harbin and eating in the whole process is either in their knowledge and intelligence of knowing where and when to put surgeon elements, right? So in this case we can put some effects. More in the drug. Would like to do is to put an insider worse the duration. So as you can see, it sounds very cool. There's a duration when the exciter gives the drag a little bit of brightness right? Now lastly, but not least, I put an imager, make sure that the soup frequencies are totally mono. There is no role in any speaker or anything. So there's basically two guys. I personally loved the mix very quietly because that gives me a lot of headroom, lot of space to make it more loud, to make the sound louder. Here's when we introduce Julian lung is meter cube, which is also, which is very right. But you can measure your alley VFS into this track or any drug. Basically, they all UFS are, what they are is the loudness bursa, right? Generally bob music, Hassan, minus six, minus seven. Sometimes you might use five. Loudness perceived or L0 EFS. Some people like to mastery loud. Like me. Some people like to mustering just normal around -90 EFS. What this means is just how loud the sun is. That is just what it means, is that is that L E of S. So now the last part is just simply making the truck as loud as possible without making it sound distorted. That way we put a maximizer on it. As you go see, it gives us around nine RDFS, around ten to nine, and the L EFS, which are kind of a gay, if you want to measure mean eon or quietly. I really loved, I really think that terrible music on all these horrible music, electronic music, Joe, all sounds good. And minus seven, Aldi averse, or minus eight either bends a little bit off the track. But basically around that. I also love to pull the ceiling to -0.3. That gives us a lot of L EFS. So next we're going to put vintage limiter just to have dual emitters because we are seeing that or drag is not allowed is enough to have just one limiter. This, if you reach around minus six or minus seven L EFS, without putting any older limiter, you just can do it that way. You can see, of course we're peaking around minus four. But here's the thing. It doesn't really sound very good. Everything is done to very distorted. So in my opinion, around minus seven or minus h, all your base will do. I do, I run that sounds very good. Lots of step upward, a little bit of Luther. They're going to see. And that's basically two guys. It's very simple, very straightforward. The reason that I put the measure volume here is because when I split here, this is because when you explore a sound, sometimes it gives like a little sound in the beginning of the song. And same with their end, right? If you listen to any bob music or anything like very bubbler or very professional, proficiently made. You can hear that there's no sound in the beginning of the trucks, right? That is it because they make sure that track sounds very good. In the beginning. The same in the end. I just put up the automation like this, just make sure everything sounds very good. There's nothing leaking. All as you do it intentionally, right? You put some certain gaffs sound or a surgeon kinda ambiance into the track, which you can do that as well. But in this case I just put nothing. So yeah. Last step is just supporting it. And that's music laden guys. Go where it's, you made it. 9. Final Words: They're your other guys is very simple logic and Z, one of the main things of the whole process is a composition are some questions that I wanted to address before saying goodbye. First, remember that this is just a course. You'll learn the techniques. You've learned a secret. But remember that this requires practice. No matter how many courses and you buy. I think it's very important to be educated, especially by people that do things that hold you want to do them. Maybe it's composed or maybe it's business, etc. I think it's very important. But remember that you have that option. So if Music Hall pianist or someone blade guitars, he can tell you everything about recording your doors abode to play the guitar. But remember that requires practice to reach a certain level. Course, there are techniques that you need to master to make your music and better, but always requires practice, though hasn't paid on reaching out on living a comment. And yeah, thanks so much for watching. And I hope this was helpful.
