Thanks will for the Maybe a video on how to make your low-end Translate on smaller devices Sound selection saturation Distortion etc.

And Another idea would be to see what tools you use When you are making your tracks vst analog model plugins.

[Fred_Klingon]

Thanks, very useful tips, that about centering sounds and making them wider is really great!

[DaddyKing]

You've made me more observant and listen to how other artists approaches their motifs. I notice this most specifically even in ads. They take it to another place quickly. I will be watching more of your videos. Thanks

[joepincombe]

The best mixing tutorials about, thanks!

[DaddyKing]

These are perhaps the best tips I have seen on YouTube. Especially the high end tips. I find myself wanting to open up the high end on the vocals more because Especially in a dance track like your example my wife says she can't understand the words. She is a stickler for this. In your example you are using Abelton. I own a Lite version of abelton, but my primary DAW is FL Studio. I am hoping it will allow me to open multiple instances of the eq vsts as you have shown in the video. I love your teaching on DBs as well. I always wondered where really is a good setting and I do usually get some distortion and I have been doing this for years.

[djjayem]

This is absolutely fantastic. I've recently lost my way producing and these tips are just what i needed to start fresh.

[georgestaff]

FYI you can set span up so both tracks are on 1 span and they overlap each other on the spectrum. Makes mixing alot easier

[Elliott.Revell]

Im a hip hop producer and don't make EDM but I find this all very useful. Great video mate.

[wernerxldata]
