Too often people shrug off all negativity and they will never improve!įor FL, In The Mix on YouTube will teach you everything you need to know about mixing. It's fun to not pay a bunch of money every time you make a song too lol It takes more effort to mix em on your own but I think it's fun. ![]() If you end up wanting to pay somebody to mix, I'd say try that subscription instead. Though they do a good job explaining what/why/where and have some templates that you can try to copy if you don't keep the subscription. They have a free month trial for their tutorials and their plugins right now, but the downside is they use their own plugins in the videos. I discovered Slate Digital a while back, and they have some good tutorials that ARE rap and hip hop focused that were awesome. Like that other person said, In The Mix is an AMAZING source of information, even if it's not focused on rap, it still applies accross genres. What's helped me get to the point where I feel confident in my sound is to really listen for what each plugin is used for, what it's doing to the vocal, why it's put in that spot in the chain. But it doesn't take being an expert to make something that sounds good. Keep in mind mixing is an entire field that people make careers in, so it really is a deep rabbit hole to go down. ![]() I’d also throw out that “right standards” thought personally. When you compress you can use maximus which has a built in deesser preset, fruity limiter which has good presets or fruity compressor. You’ll visually see the sounds that are being cut even if you can’t hear them. This is one of the best equalizers for beginners because not only is it good and easy it visualizes the frequency spectrum. super loud stuff gets reduced but the quiet sounds appear louder and the sound feels louder and fuller as a wholeĭeesser - takes out the harsh/sharp sounding “s” soundsįor absolute basics that’s pretty much the steps outside of mastering it.Īs for the plugins (i can hook you up with the industry standard or high end/well known) you can do really good with the stock fl plugins. It’s like reducing how loud the loudest parts of the sound is but retains the overall level of loudness that’s in the recording,sample, sound etc. Our voices are usually rich in mid+high frequencies and harmonics so boost these and cut out the low frequencies (this gives room for your bass and cuts out sounds that aren’t even listenable and when mixing you want to remove things you don’t want (known as a high pass filter as well)Ĭompression - i could just give the technical aspects off my head but it may be wrong, but imagine the sound being squished a bit. Once it’s in the mix you’re gonna know it’s thereĮq/equalize - picking sounds(frequencies) to boost or cut. It feels like this mic picks up everything to me and it’s super hard to take out this noise if you don’t record properly. ![]() **Noise reduction - this is actually huge for this mic(honestly for all but i have experience so) take out all background noise, ambiance, hissing, humming all that shit take it out. All you need to do for the most basic mix to make it sound better than most is eq+compress+desser and you kinda don’t need to know what any of these do but to just do them It's a journey, don't take it so seriously and please stay curious. I also just bought a auto-tune plugin and that gave me a lot of confidence.
