I completely had no idea about the ordering💀💀😂😂😂
Thanks a lot💯

[xavierxerxes]

Facts. When I was a beginner I used to put an EQ at the top of my order, and all the effects after. Then I realized I had way more control doing the opposite

[jemiahthesaiyanproductions]

This is actually a secret tip. I had no idea this makes your beats better. Thanks a lot

This is what I'd call: creative mixing

So you can make your sounds better by -surgical(normal) mixing
-creative mixing (being more experimental but with focus on the mix)
-creative effects (no focus on mixing, purely on creative individual sounddesign)

Where the order is kinda cyclical (back and forth) but in general you start with the creative aspects and check quickly if they are 'surgically mixable' with other sounds playing at the same time, before further commiting to them. And doing a final mix without any creative adjustments at the end, when you have your creative idea down and also know that all the sounds will work in the mix (if you didn't check if they mix well enough, before commiting with each sound, you'd have replace sounds here which will cause a mess)



Regarding creative mixing, it is good to know a few tricks/templates (order of effects etc) like here

But regarding to surgical mixing, it is good to really know the fundamentals. Here you'd follow a more concious/consistent, science like approach. With tools to visualize/measure etc.

I use the clip to zero (CTZ) approach. This approach basically says that in order to mix loud, you'd have to hard-clip everything as much as possible at every stage (individual tracks and summed busses). So you can push the levels up to the max(lower/cut-off peaks means you can raise the entire volume back to that same peak level, which will sound louder because the average volume gets closer to the (than relative lower) highest(peak) volume).

It says that you have a certain level you want to achieve in your final master, so you'd have to be able to set your anchor sounds (kick/snare/sub. (Sounds consistently carry the overal/loudest level) to a certain set loudness, mixing the other tracks to those levels by ear. But again, clipping everything as much as you can. Clipping causes a slight distortion (which can be beneficial but is often a compromise).

If you'd have to get a certain sound over a certain loudness, and no amount of clipping sounds good on it, than you'd know you have to use a different sound

Those synths are fucking mwah chefs kiss 👌👌

I don’t understand how some people never comprehend this. I always wondered why some people would but reverb then halftime lol like what’s the point 💀

[tusharjamwal]

I am mind blown that the concept of signal flow/ order of processing is news to anyone who has even fiddled around with any kind of fx chain.

Old rack units in live venues and studios, guitar pedals, vocal processors, or indeed the fx section in any DAW. You would definitely notice it while playing around with fx that it makes a difference what order you put the fx in.

What order you 'should' put them in is a different problem.

If you know how blender works this makes a lot of sense

[dantecooper]

First and most important. Level your mixes before you start. See how close you can get to a pro sounding mix by leveling and panning only. Then your mix will tell you what needs to be done. You’ll be surprised how much you won’t have to do

[nickgilmer]

I started playing guitar before I made beats so the signal chain with pedals helped made it a no brainer when I started mixing

[VSTR]

I can finally start making my Crushed Riddim drums mix well, thanks dude!❤

[fkwhiteblackracismwarsh]

if you don’t the order matters then you should call yourself a beginner 😂

[christiantaylor]

Use patcher to send the reverb through flanger parallel to the dry signal with no flanger 😎

[tdpencil]

Wow! thanks for these helpful tips about making my drums better!

[lil-link]

Yeah, took a while until i understood this also... Now I kind of think 'Signal goes in -> then through my chain [In FL FX-Slot 1-10] -> then out of that Mixer Channel/Track.

But in my head it's more like:
Input -> FX -> Output.

I opened the comments and I was going to say that there is no one who does not know this, but I realized that there are a lot of people who don't know. It's not just fl specific, it's something that happens even when using an analog device. and it's something you can figure out if you think a little logically. For example, if you add dist after the limiter, sound gonna clip. how do you really not know that

[scarvello]

I thought that I was tripping about the order I f the effects placed on sounds because I’ve also noticed it a while ago but I kept telling myself that I was tweaking 😂

[DJONTHETRACK]

Nice 🔥🔥🔥 fruity clipper is my best friend

[rafagrupp]

There is a free vst called 4way, that let's you do an auto panning, you can use it to do the same without changing the sound with the flanger

Can you do a tutorial on how to make my dad love me again?
