      Big facts, this channel has helped me level up so many mixing skills. I find not only do they give you the information, but they explain it in such a great way that I'll ACTULLY understand haha

    Would've been cool if you used a live kick rather than a sample. The kick had a really nice sound to begin with as for most home recording would have a lower starting point.

      Agree hehe. The opening before/after kick is completely different compared to the (eq’d) used kick sample. But still great content!

    One thing everyone needs to understand is that there is no right or wrong way to do music. What sounds good to you might not sound good to someone else. If it sounds good to you thats all that matters.

    Also raises questions for me about when choosing for the bass guitar to predominate the lowest sub frequencies. Would love to see how Joey might tackle the two different mixing approaches (bass lowest then kick, or kick lowest then bass).

    I want to do music for a living so fucking bad. im on the path to do music school in a couple years but the only problem is that I was born with pretty awful hearing loss. I wear hearing aids and cant hear high frequencies, the kick sounds the same to me with or without the EQ. anyone have any tips?

      @aritraarka Před 2 lety +1

      I'm not a professional man, but you really strike out to me. I was thinking about the same thing a few days back- what if I end up in hearing loss (The older you get, you hear less higher frequencies). I would really recommend to speak with a professional such as a doctor and talk to him. I'm really sorry man.

      I simply disagree. Using samples is necessary in some Productions and if you can't mix a kick sample, it would be an absolute shame.. Being a sample doesn't make it any less part of the mixing process.

    • @joshpisawesome
      @joshpisawesome Před 2 lety

      If the samples are already processed, then maybe. Raw samples are still 90% viable for a tutorial as all that's missing would be initial compression and gating.
