Let's Fix Your Muddy Mix & Low End - RecordingRevolution.com

If you start viewing your mix as a car trunk, you’ll be well on your way to better mixes.

In this week’s video, multi-platinum mixer IRKO explains why your mixes are just like a car trunk...

And teaches you why most people’s mixes get cluttered, and how to fix the low end of your mix.

If you want mixes that are dense but clear, thick, and pleasurable to listen to, this video is for you.

Hey Irko! Good to see you here! Thanks!

[JoeMalach]

would love to hear some actual audio examples instead of all this "visual mixing"! kind of hard to learn to mix when you can't hear the music and the changes that are being made...

I watch this video and think “wow, I should know this already.” Excellent info. Thanks for sharing - Cheers,

Does protools have that plug in so I can view the levels

[vkhor]

thank you for this excellent video. I am wondering if it is possible to bring down the music that is fighting with the dialogue. I would even prefer if there is no underlying bed. :)

Irkos a great addition to the recording revolution

[danaelston]

Well done sir. Very helpful
and the visual ties it all together perfectly.

Nice video. It was nice to see the thought rather than hear the process. Same old info yet I still need to improve on my outcome of it. Seems everybody knows it but can't achieve it.

It seems this is geared towards electronic music, which is interesting since Graham usually does rock related stuff. Would like to be able to hear what Irko is actually talking about and maybe apply this technique to acoustic instruments as well.

Irko's ideas are always ear opening and his presentations are low key and humorous, a great way to understand the concepts. That being said, does anyone else find that the swirly back ground music degrades the presentation? I'm trying to listen to the words and imagine the concepts, but the swirly music is distracting. But thanks anyway for the lesson.

Being a self taught engineer. I really appreciate this video. I’d love if you guys showed a way to mix with a beat already bounced and an artist adding vocals over the beat that’s already mixed. Everybody doesn’t record to stems and build a beat from ground up now a days. Thanks 💯

Great video! It would be great to see how to make space when the kick frequency is right at the bass fundamental, say, with a boomy kick + bass guitar with a sub bass layer under it(Dua Lipa-Don't Start Know type of song).

[JulianFernandez]

nice one. would be nice to hear as he tries different approaches...

[joaoantoniovione]

How would you deal with ill-defined amp or other sources... or guitars that sound murky, yet when you address that they sound weak?

[maartendorenbos]

Hi Irko, interesting topic, thx for making it visual. Unfortunately I really got distracted by the background music. Why is there background music anyway, talking about kick and bass? It would make sense if we can listen to these instead of the muzak in the background. But thx for you insights.

[josenation]

I usually do rock genres, so it's strange for me to hear someone say "put the bass lower than the kick." And the kick at 200? Usually I've got the bass sitting at around 100 or just above, and the kick below that! Is hip hop/electronic music different in that way?

[LuciensMusic]

Its funny you posted this, I was recently given advice about cleaning up certain frequencies. My ears are shot really, , hahaha

[uncleted]

Great content as usual. But why are you sitting in the dark?

[PIGSonTV]

This video is really really good. Thank you.

[FlipmodeWorms]

Reversing the polarity of bass or kick maybe another option the check out
