Hello Mix Together-ers, hope you are enjoying this series. Joe and Home Studio Corner are the best. In case you're wondering, the drum beats were played by a real drummer using drum midi from OddGrooves (the Magnus Brandell Signature 4/4). The virtual drum kit was EZdrummer 2, using the Vintage Rock expansion kit for a super dry '70s/Steely Dan feel. Cheers.

I love these videos. I've been mixing for over 30 years and your tips are right on Joe. I really appreciate your style, thanks!

I like how perfectly sharp your pencil is Joe. Very nice.

A Pultec EQ does magic for that "boxy"ness. Low set to 60hz, boost and cut about 2-3db.

We love you, the control click works on just about everything

So Joseph - I imagine there are a lot of presonus fans - who like me, follow and learn from you. Speaking on behalf of your audience THANK YOU. Most of us feel like old friends of yours even though you’ve never met most of us.

Hi, I practically stopped using the plugin. I listen more. My mixes sound much better now. All thanks to your videos. Thanks a lot, Joe.
Ps. CTC does more than the most expensive Plugins

Lol your vids are always so awesome and hilarious. Your compressor hand flaps and "I realize....it's not as obvious... As I'm making it sound" lolll

So you used the compressor direct on the drum bus. That's what I understand but what would you do when you have an 808 would you put the 808 on the drum bus?

And how to sidechain kick to bass in fl studio and having them on the same drum bus?

[eaglepass]

Hi Joe, Great video!!! I love what you said about “boxiness”. Always had a very ambivalent feeling when that term is used as to your point what does that really mean.

[SjaakShirly]

Does Home Studio Corner has Black Friday sales on the mixing courses? Just asking (dare to ask).

[AtTheSourceStudios]

I would also suggest a little saturation before your compression to help the drums cut a little better. Especially the snare but very nice subtle but purposeful choices here.

hey joe your video quality seems to be very much improved what are you using for video capture the camera and software if you use both. looks great!

I use cheap 5 dollars headphones to mix bus my drums to a track add multiband preset. An a limiter preset nothing over 10 db . but that's my ear .

[guitarz]

i use sonar works, it eliminated the need to check my mix in the car although i still do

[jrclarkbass]

Aww c'mon Joe! You can move that kick drum fader up a couple of pixels! 😁
