If You Only Learn 1 Mixing Trick, Learn This

[ChristianIce]

If you don't have the lookahed option, make a silent copy of the kick, move it back the needed ms, and use that to chain the bass.

you only drop gems brother, thanks a lot <3

[garymedia]

cool to know what lookahead actually does. The prints and zooms into the waves were appreciated

Just finished rendering my mix for mastering and this popped up. Lets go

Big Z will always have the superior tutorial 🔥🔥

Shoutout for you adding a “view products” button in the bottom left of the screen, allowing me to listen to your video with the app closed without paying for YouTube plus!! I wish all creators did this. It helps the viewer experience while also helping you make sales on your merch store. It’s a win-win

Love the work you put into visualizing these concepts. Fire vid like usual 🔥

Really Good Video! but I would like to add this: He is talking about the Whole Crest Factor of the mix, by reducing Dynamics you reduce the crest factor. The one of the most transparent way to do it is with a limiter that have look ahead. But be conscius that too much look ahead could kill your transients. That's why is important to apply other kinds of tools like Saturation, clipping, PRL Comp, etc, to reduce the crest factor in a more natural way and don't kill your transients in the process. Nice video btw.

Thank you for the free lessons!!! And thank you for great clear and concise communication in your videos.

There is another solution for the 1st case (sidechain): use waveshaper (f.e. cableguys) instead of compressors. You can set everything manually under visual control.

[cwehden]

your video topics seem to always appear at the perfect time, like you're making them for me!

[lukasroman]

You can also use a track delay on sidechain track to make sure it works on time and don't have to make an attack on compressor to work that fast.

I've been using the Lfo tool plugin in a very similar way making a small delay avoiding the zero crossover point and it sounds great. I recommend it!❤️

[DJRobReal]

Hey! Now I wonder how all those stock, Cytomic, SSL etc glue compressors work on the drum bus. Are they getting the job done or basically distorting the track? Thanks

[HotelPools]

Why do I feel like whenever I add look ahead on the Ccomp it adds a tiny bit of latency

[DJDOBREL]

nice stuff, well explained and for sure makes a huge difference.

GREAT AND VALUABLE SHARING TO LEARN MIXING 🔥🔥
GREAT WORK BROTHER

[Saintfake]

this might be the most underrated tutorial in music production

[ronmoes]

great tip, it is hard to get the loudness in a track indeed, i also feel having a good mid frequency in the mix will contribute to a loud mix.

[Q-TK]

Brilliant video - thank you! Can you please explain the pros and cons of using look ahead time. Or maybe the different scenarios that would make its use more or less suitable?

From what you've just shown here, it seems like you'd want it turned up all the time, right? But I know that's not the case...
