Awesome content! Would love to see how you mix guitar modellers such as the Tonex/Ruby etc..

[@andygreen5565]

Fantastic! Great video and samples. Been using them quit a bit.

[@BetterMixes]

Thanks so much, Andy! Glad you're enjoying the samples!

[@MrBikboi]

I adore modern and massive, the snare sounds are incredible to my ears been thinking about grabbing the P5 kit. Great video dude!

[@BetterMixes]

They were my go-to snares for a while too! Over time my taste just changed a bit. I'm glad you liked the video!

[@joshuadelaughter7968]

Thanks for this. I produce everything in my small apartment and I feel like there's so little info out there about how to mix sampled instruments.

[@BetterMixes]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@Axeltab]

Great!!!

[@BetterMixes]

Glad you liked it! 🤘

Are you doing any clipping or limiting on the drum tracks or drum bus to get more loudness or are you doing that in the master buss?

[@BetterMixes]

These days (and in this video) I typically only use limiting on the master buss. I used to do clipping on the drum buss, so that can totally work too, I've just been preferring it without lately. I will sometimes use a clipper on the snare to shave off the peaks a bit if I feel like it's hitting the drum buss compressor too hard though.

All you guys need is steven slate in the end 😅

[@BetterMixes]

If you mean Steven Slate Drums, his samples just give me flashbacks to early 2000s metalcore 😆 But obviously lots of people make it work for them! So to each their own!
