[SizzStarr]

So weird I probably used 100 of ur beats off soundclick from like 07-2012 and now i watch ur videos when i go questions! Keep it up brother always helping me out!

[TheCobyRandal]

Thank you so much. Utility>Gain>Stereo, then I switched Mono on. Now I can monitor and mix in peace lol.

[SteveStockmalMusic]

Really good point... check in mono, but mix in stereo !!

[ripp]

This a good tip. A big one if you ask me. I ALWAYS "EQ" in mono every project. That's my main reason, but i also check how everything blend in mono as well.
Also its good for pan levels.

Liked before watching! :) Your tutorials are amazing bro!

[Snugglebear]

I don't know how I missed this but this was tight, Sean. As usual, thanks for taking the time

[electrodanimou]

Oh, que maravilla de tutorial. Gracias!

[Starlight]

tutorial on the mixing process of your track please!! sounds so nice

[tesfayetastic]

Make a video on gain staging and the process / importance of checking prefader metering so your sounds don’t clip when adding plugins, for a long time I didn’t think my tracks were clipping because all I saw was post faders so I struggled to get my mixes loud and clear thinking it was my mixing but it was clipping in the prefader and I never gain staged nor checked them after plugins. I think that video would save a lot of beginners like me, a general video on how to properly start a mix until the point of leveling would be great then tips on things to do to not clip your track pre/post fader with proper monitoring levels for mixing. Also mentioning how you use reference tracks and properly level them in the beginning of your mix too would be mad useful too! Know it’s a lot but these type of tutorials aren’t the ones that get the most views or even talked about as much for beginners. Thanks for your videos tho man, seriously

ive been looking for this for a while, i knew how to do this in FL studio but then i switched so ty sean ur clutch for this!

[BrokenStringBohol]

I love ur tutorials. Very informative and helpfull to my mixing

[rossmcculloch]

This is really going to help me.. my mix’s alway sound great on my monitors and headphones but then when I bounce them and listen on other speakers and systems they always have phase problems.. thanks 🙏

[velanche]

Thanks! I've had something about mixing in mono on my mind. Then there was a video from The Recording Revolution about that topic last week, and then I was thinking, "so how would I do it and when?" Thankfully, your video started filling in some of the gaps. I use Logic, so great that you had those examples. I'll also try out StereoDelta, cuz that's a really good example of trying to keep the low end in the mix and not lose it when in mono. Much appreciated.

[sweetgtx]

Exactly this is what I wanted to see cuz i'm very new in Logic pro X environment.
Thanx a lot bro!...
Really appreciate your efforts
☺💓🎸

Ayo ngl ive learned the most from you that i have from anyone else on youtube

[Bati_]

Hi Sean, thank you for this highly informative video. May I ask whether an interface with direct monitor button can turn DAW output into mono as well?

[diamondjune]

thank you for the not complete mono mix tip, I’ve been struggling in logic transitioning from Garageband because like what you touched base on I was under the interpretation I should completely mix mono then switch it all to stereo. now I get it . like just now. they say mix mono cause its the stream line center of the song

[sidneyscaccio]

Hi bro, great vídeo! Make some vídeo mixing one Epic Hip Hop Beat
I'll appreciate to see what you think about mixing and blending orchestral instruments with percussions and synths, effects and automations.

Thank you and keep working!!
