20 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR PERFECT MIXES | Music Production Mixdown Tips, Ableton

My Top 20 Tips to perfect your mix! Help this get 1000 LIKES, thanks! 🤓

To expand on the idea of high-quality samples, it's super important to make sure your samples are all recorded using the same sample rate/bit depth. I have found that a lot of Vengeance samples are all over the place, and when you play your song back through any decent studio monitor; your mix will sound like unwanted distortion

make sure your file heiracrhy is all in order. Such as where you save your tracks, stems, and finished project files/Demos.

Understand song structure of EDM and which tracks can be automated to fade in and out.

Make sure bass frequencies arent conflicting

any other production ideas?

That intro is amazing! 😂

Do you mix on headphones or studio monitors0 If both, in what order?

Milk was a bad choice lol

Great tutorial! Thanks

Bruv im 10 + years into production and I've used ableton primarily. I have never noticed the crossfade button, thanks for the introduction! you're a genius!

This is absolute gold! Thank you so much!

Hello Stranjah, from Clarke in Manchester, England, (across the pond), i have 18 Nebula tracks and in 90+ % of them they absolutely light up the last minute drum patterns with delay, echo effects, panning and all types of trickery. can you tell me about anybody else that's as tight with there drum manipulation as Nebula.??? Thanks

This is some of my favorite content of yours

Not a mixing tip, but make sure to always set the quality of the ableton stock reverb to high

Man your videos are helping me massively with mix downs and eq sound design and structure of my tracks is pretty decent but just trying to learn how to mix down and your videos are really helping thanks buddy I've recently subscribed and liked a few of your videos.. your tunes are sick too 👌

thanks. you're a good teacher!

First time seeing your channel, and I gotta say such a gem for beginners like me as well. I fully connected and understood everything clearly. Thank you so much for the help!

That’s the first time I ever saw anyone mix milk with tequilla

DOPE🔥

I found mixing each track against pink noise is a good place to start. Loving your videos.

dude Sinkhole is so good and it's crazy you picked that because I was just thinking of using that as a reference, its just so well mixed.

I once flew into Bogota, Colombia at midnight my first time in south America, flying down the highway in the back of an uber through the scariest neighborhoods iv ever seen with that tune cranked to 11 nothing ever fit so perfectly.

thank you for this man it was great

thanks masterrrr

Fabfilter and blue cat audio EQ's are imo the best ones out there

You know I’m on those free VSTs haha

this intro ! I love it haha! Ja blesssss

👏

Can you be kind enough to make sense of bringing a mastered track into ableton, to A & B it with the mixdown project, and it being as loud as the mastered track?
How is your mixdown so loud already? it sounds the same level as the mastered track

thanks dude! so helpful

just found you, nice channel...i been using abe's 10 years peace

I like Uhbik-Q. It's a parametric eq with configurable bands (bells and shelves), a couple of dedicated filters for low end and center/side mids and two brickwall lp and hp filters. Because you don't have an amplitude response curve in front of your eyes, the interface forces you to pay attention to every change you are introducing and effectively prevents you from taking decisions with your eyes. The frequency and gain of a band are two separate knobs, so each correction is broken down into two distinct steps, which also helps concentrate on finding the right settings, one at a time.

Amazing video!!
On my master channel i only leave Span, Ozone imager to check phase, an EQ with little low and high cut to kinda simulate a weak speaker (like phone speakers) (witch i turn on when i want to check if you can hear bass on them) and a limiter off that I use if i need to hear my mix with boosted volume (like it was mastered).
Am i doing right?

Ableton EQ 8

thank you

Thanks Stranjah this helped a lot

But why are my tunes not sounding as loud as other tunes ? I know mastering boost the tune but they seem to be very loud mixdown before it even gets to mastering stage ?

Super helpful mate. Thanks!

Yo , pretty new producer here, I’m using renoise but this is all very useful thanks man! Got a few of your tracks on vinyl too, huge up!

so are you not add anything to the master ever or do you just mean during mixing? I thought the idea was to go in after mixing and spice up the WHOLE track via the master...

Nice video man, very helpful.

Thanks so much!

best intro ever.

makes sense. ty.

Instead of tequila, try cuarenta y tres next time to get a good mix with milk ;-)

Hats off mate.. gotta say ive been struggling with this side of things and this has improved my tracks massively.. and no detection of arrogance which is not rare in most tutorials.. keep up the good work, much appreciated

You get sub for the intro

very good, i know this

Good Job man! great insights and information.
