My biggest takeaway: don't be afraid of the 96db bell in pro Q lol
This is truly one of the best mixing tutorials available. Not bogging us down with the details of what plug-in and what knobs, but using the theory and giving you a framework to mix intuitively. Someone else mentioned that they'd learned more from 15 mins of this than any other tutorial and I agree. Love Mat's approach here. This is a hidden gem ❤
This is the same guy that got me into making my own music about 6 years ago. Currently working on an EP now and I couldn’t be any happier.
Thank you Mat!!!!!!!
And yes DEPTH is very important, if not one of the most important part of mixing.
this is the absolute definitive mixing tutorial
when a legendary and one of your most favourite artist starts giving away gems like this and you discover it along with the fact that not much people are viewing the videos so you have the upper edge in music production and you're gonna keep it to yourself. That's me right now. I loved your work since I heard synapse dynamics in 2011 10 Years of Anjuna mix and I've always wondered about your production ever since as you've always been very low key. To me you're a musical genius and I'm seriously treasuring these live stream VODS. Love from one of your biggest fans Zohar!

Definitely agree mate, on exactly the same page and same tune to fall in love with!
Is it Zohar or Zidan? I'm dying to know.
Don't agree with keeping it to yourself, cringe gatekeeper
"so you have the upper edge in music production and you're gonna keep it to yourself."
lmfao what. Should be the opposite; share it.
I haven't even started watching it and I know it will be gold because Mat Zo is gold.
Handling making music like painting is a really nice way to get a different view on the topic. ^^
so true
amazing tut
best mixing tut I've ever seen
Really? It was really hard to sit through this... the musical example was terrible... why have all those acoustic guitar tracks there? The first step to a good mix is good ARRANGEMENT. Why have 10 different acoustic guitar tracks going on at the same time? I would have deleted a bunch of those guitar tracks.
@@drvoodoo3073 I thought the same, but on the other hand it's a great example to teach mixing on since there's so much going on it will almost make simpler arrangements easier. Song itself got super annoying after 15 mins tho
@@anthonygio9961 I just don't see the point in mixing this many guitar tracks... I see your point but at the same time he's instilling bad habits, like trying to mix too many parts when you could easily be more selective, delete tracks that are superfluous and end up with a tight track that will be a breeze to mix
@@drvoodoo3073 While I do wish he had chosen a more electronic project to mix, and I also would've gotten rid of a lot of the guitars, I feel like the busyness of the arrangement was a great way to illustrate his points in bringing things backwards/forward.
@@drvoodoo3073 why don't you make a better one man ? the song doesn't really matter here, it matters that it shows you his take on how your mix should sound better .
You have a really unique way of teaching. Wish I found this earlier.
The legend! Tnx, Mat! Much love❤
Thank you Mat!
This was great! Thank you
TY FOR SPARING YOUR TIME FOR THIS!
This is so brilliant and musically fantastic. Thanks!
Mat goes philosophical on us.
Loved this, really insightful stuff here! Keep it coming Mat!
best mixing advice i ever got! thanks a lot man
love it, thanks mat
Thank you for taking the time to make this video Mat, really important info from start to finish.
This is incredibly helpful thank you
hugely appreciative of this insight mate. thanks so much, would absolutely love to see a part 2
Been looking for a tutorial on creating depth for a long time, and this one was exactly what i had been searching for. GREAT JOB!! looking forward to more videos
Thank you for giving all these gold knowledges ❤️
thank you! Mentor i always wish i had!
This video is packed with so much good advice. Thanks for doing this Mat Zo! 🖤👍🏼
Thank you!
only 15min in and ive already learned more about depth than any other mixing tuts on youtube. This is incredible! thank you!
Omfg! My mixes became at least twice better using this beautiful approach. Love you! Please make part2 in future. Thanks Matan
This is so good Mat!
this is insane! like comparing the initial mix 3:17 with what he turns it into 1:00:53 wow, just wow! thank you so much!!!
The BEST mixing tips I have ever seen! Thank You!
Thank you Matan so much
This is actually way better tutorial than most of the expensive masterclasses
you deserve may more credit for that!
What a gem of a mixing theory and explanation! Taking notes...Thank you Mat!
wow, i've only watched 20 minutes and there is so much good info already. highly recommend to any producer willing to listen
what an absolute hero!!! people usually pay an arm and a leg for tutorials like this. Really appreciate you sharing the knowledge Mat. Thank you :)
I've watched countless mixing tuts and even paid a sound engineer to watch him mix my track and this was still super helpful, learned so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mat!
I think I've watched this tutorial 3 times over the last 2 days - thank you for sharing about your theory! Being a visual person I've really enjoyed the details you took in finding the right images to convey the messages - can't wait to tune in live next time.
Never thought about using compression in the way of painting. Many years of struggling on mixing will go away i guess. Kick processing was also useful. Huge thanks to you, Mat, for this informative live stream! :)
This is absolutely amazing, high quality content with a specific purpose, easy to understand and touching the key parts to make a great mix, I JUST LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Wow, what a great bunch of analogies. I feel my mixing has just improved massively thanks to your sharing. Really appreciate it mate. To make things easier to understand "the vocal thats saying Further is getting closer" to add even more dynamics. lol
This is really good. Man thanks.
Thanks Mat, luv u man
Using the painting as a mixing tool is so clever, thanks mat !
Thanks dude! This was very helpful!!!!!
These videos are very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
sick! keep em coming
I finally understand compression. Thank you
Please dont stop making these
I love that every step has a reason behind it
This is too good. Most people would charge for something like this, so the fact that you're just giving it away to help us all is really awesome. Also, if you need someone to clean your studio/make you coffee, HMU!
I love how every time he slaps his desk, my subpac rumbles. Feels like im in the room with Mat
That's the only good you get out of a subpac.
damn man what a great tutorial! love the comparison with paintings
amazing
Not sure if this is mats channel, but this is the most helpful thing ive found on youtube for mixing in years
detops mu his label! So in a way, yes
You are a Genius!
I get to listen to MatZO thank you internet
True Artist
thank you very much Mr. Matan Zohar!!!!!!
I really appreciate the textures on your tracks. They are breathtaking, powerful. you know what track i really really love? Hurricane. The climax of that song gets to me. Good day! thanks again!
Oh and I saw you on EDC Mexico 2015. Man!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLE. I imploded with your set haha.
Compression can bring the sound forward or back in the mix. The transient sound will feel acoustically towards the front. A fast attack will push the sound back as it will cut the transient. A slower attack on a compressor can bypass the transient and push down on the sustain part of the signal. Making the decay of the sound longer, therefore making it more dynamic.
Dude , this shit change my life!
flicker (mat zo remix) is the best remix i've ever heard, mabe some time you show us, how you did such tracks, like deadmau5 do on his streams. all the Best!
Yes, i do think flickr remix is his best remix track till date.
Great job! Please do a project overview of your new track Problems!! Loving that one
I'm gonna give you a gold star for ducking your mic when your music is playing, and for uploading at the maximum quality possible.
I've seen videos from even big-name people where they are trying to demonstrate mixing tips, but the entire time you hear the wind-tunnel that is their bedroom/studio in the background. Like keeping a plastic bag on our head when we're doing a hearing test.
Is that a Nick Robinson pfp lmao?
@@josh5h24 Lmao, yeah I stole it and made an edit. You're the first person to notice in like 5 years, well done!!!
Sos un groso Mat, sabelo
Matan, thank you, man, if you or your friends sound engineers have the opportunity to show the mixing in steps, please do it.It'll be cool.Thank you again.
genius
Speaking of volume shaper I found it's best used in return tracks within a rack which contains not only the plugin but a parallel utility with reversed phases. So you get dry/wet sends punching out whatever you like or need. Btw... You can do this with a compressor too, side-chained by another return track resp. send. So you send i.e. kick and snare to your side chain and what's about to duck to the compressor. And all that in a parallel manner defined by the amount of send values. Enjoy
I don't understand; what's the advantage of using the dry/wet sends to the utility over just punching out what you want with volume shaper?
@@brundoismakingmusic2834
There are several advantages. The first one is the workflow and the overview. You don't have to go into each and every track for tuning. The second on is the ability to tune all together to the perfect pumping within one single instance of the plugin. You could of course solve this by bus routing but with the disadvantage of not being able to change the amount of effect of each individual track. Another nice side effect of this method is the possibility to easily control the overall amount of pumping with one single fader. This might be useful within the arrangement...
Thanks,Mat.Love your music-The Sky,Simple Things.Rebound-Mozart(with Arty),Flicker remix,Lucid Dreams Aaahhh-that's awesome!!!Can you ever show this projects?
Did I mention that you are a Genius??
Thanks a lot for this Mat, really awesome, digestible analogies! However, I'm a bit confused when you said narrowing the stereo fields on elements push them further back in the mix, as I would think the opposite would be true, as things like kicks are about as front of the mix as you can get and completely mono(generally). Can anybody help me clear up that confusion?
sound sources coming from a far spot are usually perceived more sharp in a precise direction...As a closer sound source could pick more delays between our right/left ears to locate it. However I feel like the contrary is good 2...saying that a far away source could have a ''cone'' sound field to our ear and spread larger with time.I'm lost on this.
At 1:12:13 he does some keyboard command that opens up a sub menu with different vsts/fx and lets him preload onto a channel what is that?
brooo can you show us how you did bad posture?
Professor
So let me check if I've got this right. Background sounds should have less dynamic range, using heavy compression as a way to do that. And the main foreground sounds should have more dynamic range, by using saturation and multiband expansion/compression?
And also pushing things more to the back by using reverb and delay?
Oh god no.
Why or rather How is your Master Channel not detecting audio yet you have audio output from all your tracks? Are you sending the audio signal from groups out to some sort of Ext?
mat zo showing tutorials. you sit and watch. that is all.
You should save a glue compressor preset with the fastest attack/release so you don't have to keep setting it each time haha
i dont make music or art but i think this tutorial gave me some ideas for teaching english lol
How did you even find this?
@@KindnessInvokingNetwork I found this on reddit's front page, maybe he did too. this tutorial is GOLD
@@KindnessInvokingNetwork ive been listening to mat zo for years
Does anyone know why he uses the 96db slope on his EQ? What's the benefit? I usually get told to keep slopes as smooth as possible yet these look almost square
Generally higher slopes are used for aggressive filtering at precise frequencies and lower slopes for gentle filtering over a range of frequencies. A steep slope may cause unwanted artifacts and phasing but not always.
samfisher01 if you cant hear the difference what does it really matter
Is this a third party uploading these? if not where did you learn this mixing theory?

What's the keyboard shortcut for turning plugins on and off?

I thought mat had an accent? Isn't he british?
pure gold... the likes vs. dislikes ratio says it all. i'm guessing the dislikes are just 4 of your ex-gfs ?
Unfortunately this tutorial is not that great, it could have been really good to unexperienced people. But tbh, mixing is something that you do when you got your song writing in place, all these parts sounds like a gigantic mess from the start, and no mixing in the world will save you from that fact, its not going to sound good anyway. But the way you visually explain the way you mix is a good tip for beginners!
Yea it's one big mix soup. But he said it's a random sketch and a dense one at that so I think that was his point to sort of mix it anyway. Listening to all his tracks, I can only assume he knows what he's doing ahaha.
great talk man. I come from a rock, funk sound engineering background so this was really an eye-opener for me, especially with how adamant rock and funk engineering are about using very transparent compression. using art as an analogy really helped me understand a lot of this too. cheers
Rock and Funk engineers, or any acoustic engineers tend to use minimal compression because when the source material is recorded through a mic, it already undergoes 'air compression'. When mixing a recording made from live source material, you generally want to keep the dynamic range captured in the recording. That said, heavy compression is still used in the way I described on some live recordings. One example would be heavy compression on room mics to squash them into the background. Some funk engineers would also use sidechaining on the drum room mics to make the drum hits even more opaque.
