Thank you for all your content this question is a little off topic. I'm looking in your tutorials on how to erase a single instrument in a midi track on GarageBand. I'm using Mac and when I go to erase an instrument it erases the whole line not just one individual instrument what am I doing wrong?
It’s been a while since I’ve done some mixing so it’s nice to get a simply laid out refresher that’s complete and efficient.
Saves the mind.
Appreciate it Colin !
I litterally want to a famous music school and learn and retained more in this 20 minutes than my 3 years there
🙌 Exactly my goal.
All the important stuff from 1 time in one place
If you dont mind me asking, which school?? Im heading to a famous music school soon and im praying you arent talking about the one im going to 😭
Spend the money and gear and start twisting knobs , advertise your work for
Free and learn as you go. A year at Berklee could get you an API 1608 and all the mics and cables you need. Spend the second year on a spot. 3rd on acoustic treatment and routing. 4th to live off of while you build your name.
Was it full sail 😭
I can’t believe how clearly you explain this stuff. It’s a relief because every other video on mixing (especially on compression specifically) I have struggled to follow and just kept assuming it was me being a crappy learner. But I actually understood this?! So thank you!
I have no idea why you do not have millions of subscribers... Thanks for the videos. Please keep continuing.
as someone with a terrible attention span, im so grateful how quick and well spoken this tutorial is, for the first time in my amateur music making years im actually understanding what mixing is all about 😂 im about to watch the rest of your videos now, very excited to put this into practice on my songs later
This is seriously the best video I've watched in 2024. I'm fully confident I don't need a producer to make my track go from ass to class. Thanks so much for these videos. I wish this existed more than 2 months ago. You're a hero.
This was the first coherent introduction to this I have found. Thanks. You are contributing to the delinquency of an old punk.
When you started talking Compression, I thought I better leave this video and refresh my knowledge on it before continuing. Then you went on to give a simple, understandable briefing of how it works. Legend! Thanks for this, can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials.
Such a good teacher
you can tell after years of providing grade A tips and tutorials, this stuff has become second nature to Collin...super stoked to see him branching out to Logic Pro and can't wait to pick up more useful info !
By far the best mixing guide I have found. Comprehensive but easy to understand. I hadn't thought of doing the static mix and then a touch of mastering before going into effects. This has been immensely helpful.
What a great video. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, Colin, you have highlighted all the mistakes I am making. I will learn and apply your guide to my current project.
This is an excellent outline and has been very helpful to me. You are a great communicator. Thank you!
Great tutorial
I have been struggling with the mixing and mastering processing. I never feel I have achieved a professional level, even though every track is perfectly recorded. You really explain well what needs to be done. I highly recommend The Band Guide.
Dude. 10k views is criminal. I really appreciate the simplicity that you explain with! It’s super helpful!
Thanks for this!
Love this video! So helpful!
Great video! Thank you
Thank you for another great tutorial.
Really awesome video brother! Thank you for this!
thanks for sharing your wisdom in such a well structured way!
Thanks, some great things I can start applying straight away.
Thanks mate. It was easy, fast and really helpful :D
Great Value in this video!!! Can't wait to continue growing watching your videos!
I really appreciate you for doing this video.
Your tutorials are fantastic 👍
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
love this
You’re awesome!
Your eq explanation is so helpful.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Sir! God bless you! :)
Been waiting for this for a while! Thank you so much!
Information was a lot easier to take in than most other videos, much appreciated!
Waiting for part 3! Thanks Collin
Love this . 😎👍
Amazing. Thank you.
Hi Collin. I have been watching your Garageband tutorials in the past and that really helped us to make a great sounding album. So glad you are now making a series on Logic since I also made the upgrade. Thank you so much! Greetings from
LunAcoustic.
Great content, I’ll surely use the tips shown. Keep it up
Great info. Super clear and concise. Very much looking forward to implementing these tips into my next mix!
This was very helpful
I followed your guide. Sounded strange to start with. Great result. Thanks.
this is fantastic input... helped a lot.... now my mix is clear, balanced and improved. much appreciated.
Really helpful and explained in a concise and thoughtful way for easy understanding. Thank you!
Hi Colin. Good to be reminded in a summary way of these key milestones. Just starting a new project today so that will fit in nicely with the next few weeks of your series
Awesome, Tim!
Well done ✅
Best explanation of compression I’ve ever heard
First Video I saw, regarding this topic, that is realy helpful and clear! Thanks mate :)
Another great video!
Big fan here. I like how concise you are with your videos. I think you have a great way of removing all of the confusion about this vastly complicated subject.
Focusing on the fundamentals.
This whole step by step concept of yours, has completely changed
the way that I approach my songs.
I got caught up in thinking that the reason why my songs didn’t have that professional sound was because I didn’t know all of the mastering tricks and ear candy that the pros have.
I needed to invest more money in my Studio Gear.
I thought I needed to learn more advanced techniques.
Turns out I needed to go all the way back to the beginning.
Now my mixes have a clarity I could’ve never achieved before.
I used to throw a bunch of reverb and delay on everything long before the mixing process because it did sound better in that stage of the creation.
But all this did was hinder my abilities to mix because there were too many resonating frequencies happening and made it impossible to hone in on the real problems. Thank you so much for all of these videos that you make.
You are helping so many people.
Thank you!
🙌🏼🙌🏼 Appreciate you, Brandon! Keep crushing it, dude.
This video is very helpful and applicable. Thank you. Blessings, contentment, joy, love, peace, rest and strength to you and yours! Liked, subscribed, and notified.
great video
This video helped me A LOT to understand more of the production, the mix and the mastering. THANK YOU BRO!!! 🤯🤯🤯
thanks a lot!
Great advice as usual Colin 👍
Glad it was helpful, Ted!
thx rly appreciate it
Brilliant video. Really helpful advice. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just want to tell you how much I absolutely love and appreciate these videos! You’re doing gods work brother 😂 I been trying to use and understand GarageBand for years and have been totally lost with just about everything to make a well done song. I just watched most of your drum videos when using midi to make drums sound studio real. It has blown my mind that I’ve created what I have so far. I feel a new feeling of excitement that I’ll actually finish a publishable song. Thank you for what you’ve done!
Very clear !!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for all efforts! There are so many confusing tutorials on the web, but you always explain everything in a very apprehendable way. So even a struggling amateur like me can improve a little bit. Cheers!
This was so helpful! You explained everything in a way that I could understand it clearly. Thank you! Can't wait for the rest of the videos in this series! Thank you man!
awesome! I'm glad you dug it and look forward to hearing what you think of the series!
Good video I plan to see more
Awesome job making complex things sound real simple! I was able to follow right along and grasp the important concepts of mixing. This is going to help a lot.
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful
Nice tips! I always start to put reverbs and other stuff to get the feeling right first, but end up having to change everything. This is what I need to do most of the time. Pz
Thank you!
You're welcome!
These videos are really, really well done, explained simply and easy to understand. Thank you. I've signed up and downloaded the PDF, thanks for that! I have a question, if you are mixing a couple of songs at the same time, would you do them separately, so go through steps 1-6 for one and then the other, or would you do step 1 across both songs before moving to step 2 across both etc. ?
Awesome video
🙌🏼
Your videos have been an inspiration and best education. I have Yamaha HS 5 in a well treated room. Can I depend on these for mixing and mastering along with good headphones?
Great video! A step by step guide is exactly what I need! Question: MIxing with or without headphones? 🎧😀 I have both decent monitors and decent headphones.
ALWAYS helpful! Question: I've become a serious discipline of your Logic Pro drummer approach. Where in the process would you put that? I've been starting the drum processing early, and then doing the static mix. I've actually been doing it all backwards, as it turns out 😂
Good video hits good points watch not a waste of time!!!
Great Video! Extremely helpful because I knew all of the components of the mix but did not have a strategy to apply them. I do have a suggestion. I would love to understand how to mix such that the mid and side are correct. Similar to mixing in general, I understand the definitions but I don't have a strategy to apply them to mixing. Thanks. Ron
Great presentation and info, thank you.
Question: if you have already compressed an instrument and then you add volume automation, won't the difference in volume from the automation affect the compression you already set?
Great stuff, per usual, Colin!
Any advice on which compressor is most useful for mixbus processing and why?
Great question! In general I like SSL style compressors on the mix bus. I like the way they handle transients and the subtle saturation they provide. If I'm using the stock Logic compressor I believe the SSL emulation is the Vintage VCA. I dig it a lot. Sometimes I'll use the Waves SSL or the BusterSE from analog obsession
Very good content and well presented. It appears that you work with a lot of tracks but I guess these lessons would apply to 10 or less?
Thanks, that's really helpful. I've been using volume automation to adjust volume peaks and troughs in tracks. If I understand right the compressor (set correctly for the track) can do this?
Advanced you say? 🧐 I must give this video a watch.
Question. How do you feel about mixing down to a submix buss and get the level set at -3-6db. Then send that Submix to the Master and apply mastering chain plugins? Seems like double the work to mix the song, bounce it out, then bring in a new mastering session?
Does this/another video explain busses and how to use them correctly?
So I’ve been in my head about whether i should record in mono or in stereo? Whats your take on that?
One more question
Is it very important to cut the low frequencies of other instruments besides the bass and kick drums ?
Hey, Colin! I need separate the different "pads" in a electronic drums, I have read you have to convert the wav file into midi. But, do you know how to do it? Thanks
Great video, thank you. Just one question: Bobby Owsinski maintains that you never pan to 100%. Do you know why he believes this? Thanks.
TO B HONEST with you bro this video is great very thorough, my only issue is that I added the level meter pluggin (like you mentioned in step 1) and now every track is fucking MUTED ☠ idk what happened I've tried a couple different things and the sound just will not come back wtf
Thank you, very helpful, as usual. When you talk about automation, you don't mention the possibility to automate the volume on the master track to enhance sections of the song. My mixes often start out with the master fader at -2 dB, to save some headroom to crank the volume up 1-2 dB in the choruses or other parts of the song that needs to be made more "pregnant" in the sound picture. // Ulf
Great point! Yes- that's a pretty common trick for me too
I have a question about Logic Pro. if I create an aux let say its a reverb aux and lets say I have a lead vocal bus and a background vocal bus. I realised that in logic when you create an aux that aux channel only has one fader so what if I wanted to use that reverb aux as a send for both my lead vocal bus and my background vocal bus but lets say I wanted a bit more of the reverb on my background vocals how can I use the same aux for both buses but increase the reverb level on my backgrounds if there is only one fader. I'm new to mixing so its just a general question.
Hey do you have any advice for mixing and trying to get good sound with a electric drum kit?
Definitely-
1) Be sure your tones coming from the electric kit are sounds you like
2) Make sure your kick and snare are loud enough (often I find they are mixed too low)
3) Use EQ to accentuate frequencies that sound good to you. It's impossible to tell you what it needs without hearing it, but often some low end (50ish hz) and a some 3000hz helps it feel full and present. But again, trust your ears- your kit might have enough or too much of those frequencies already)
4) Use compression with a slower attack time (10-30ms) to add punch
5) A little bit of small room reverb can help it feel more realistic
Does this only apply to a mix nd master when it comes to recording a song that involves instruments? I’m an artist who is learning how to engineer my own songs nd sound. Anyway tho I sang nd rap on instrumental beats, I only work with vocals for the most part. Should I still follow every step from this mixing and mastering tutorial tho?
Personally, I think gain staging is the first step before a static mix.
Agreed- I file gain staging into the mix prep category, but that's a whole conversation on it's own!
@@TheBandGuide Wasn't sure if that was covered somewhere else. This is where a lot of us get into adding plugins, tweaking and wrecking the flow and ultimately the final mix. Enjoyed the 'keep it simple' approach-thanks!
Around 5:44 you said to increase the gain of low end, in your case, you have increased the 20hz to 100hz by 5db, don’t you think that it’ll add too much low end bass to the song ?
Hello. Who's the real expert in logic that can tell how to import the mix (volumes, pans, plugins in each channel , etc etc)from one song to another song. Maybe a mix template?? In protools is easy to do, but in logic... Thanks!!!
Keep up the hard work, brother. The subs will come. Your content is much more polished, informative and well-spoken than almost anything I’ve seen.
If only you were a blond girl with big boobs and cute glasses, you’d be the perfect package. /end sarcasm
um it hasn't been called "logic pro x" for... years? it's just confusing to title your video that!
dude.... whoa. You're totally right! That's crazy. I didn't realize Apple had officially dropped it and just thought people were shortening it on their own. Usually Apple holds onto that stuff until they update the version (aka Logic Pro 11), so I was just waiting for that!
So you’ve spent the last 3 years making CZcams videos like this every week, I wonder how many released major label tracks you’ve actually mixed as a “Pro” in that time , I bet it’s not many.. is so why are you making money from CZcams?
This is helpful 🫶
