3 Golden Rules for Low End Hip Hop Mixing | Lu Diaz (Jay Z, Beyoncé)

which plugin should i use mono or stereo

Absolute GOAT this guy. Thank you

💎💎💎

Why the kick and 808 is on stereo tracks and why are they clipping yellow?

Bro is a certified cooker 🍴👨‍💻

I think we've all seen this video more than once

Thank you 🎉❤

clear as thats where i need to be

So ironic I ran across this bc iim making beats again and my low end is using not hitting like I want it to!

He looks like an old bar tender who knows all the good cocktails of mixing and mastering

Why does several EQs dont do the same thing as doing everything with the same EQ? Is it not risky to get phase issues?

Is it me or is his mix hit red like crazy. No gain staging. Why is that?

Ooooh! So you eq the 808 when you side chained it?!?!?!?

cool

What Kick and 808 sample are you using or does anyone know that ? could be nice to play around with the same samples :)

I wont know more about eq and sidchain

I was an assistant engineer for Luo a long time ago in Miami and he’s such a cool, genuine guy! He’s also a freaking beast and every bit much a legend!

i could watch his teaching for hours man....

thanks

Ive been producing for years & to this day the bass is the hardest for me to get right lol. Mix or melody

Parallel side chain dynamic eq w/ the sub triggering low end of kick, 🔥 trick!

I wish I could have seen this 5 years ago lol. I make music as a hobby and everything he said here is stuff I learned over years of trial and error and experimentation.

I really like the way Waves Audio arranges their videos to give the best clarity to the viewer. By highlighting the 3 main subjects or lessons, it makes it easier to comprehend and retain the information.

Sounds amazing Mr Diaz. Would you mix one of my originals?

Great teacher.👍🏾

Wow he is pinning that Pultec with no fear. Everything is in the red Interesting!!!

all short and clear !

If you follow all the rules; your music will sound like everybody else's! (Rules are made to be broken!)

Bass is life 😀

The song he mentions at the beginning is Dynamix II - Just give the DJ a break

That baseline does go hard!

No compression on 808s. Interesting.

How do you deal with the clipping issue?

Thank you for sharing this Lu 🙏

this is gold🙏

Great info.

this is was beautifully put together. thank u

How are we getting that 808 and Kick fader to Clip?

hip hop low talent crap ruined the music business

Lu Diaz is the best. Explains things perfectly and allows you to hear the difference it makes when put into a mix. He has got to be my favorite engineer.

Don't.

a lot of noises added from these plugs

man that i hate the singer voices of today ... so unprofessional that this give hope to the bad singers to be successful !
The audio engineers have to endure these voices all day long ... man that i'm happy to have a home studio just for myself (a lot to learn but without those incovenient) ...
... endure all day long the face of a singer that think he is a singer is *insufferable*
I don't understand ... you have all the analog hardwares you need but the plugins seems to be first ?!

niceeeeee

So where can i get the song Realzz - Feel It Babe?...ive looked everywhere

amazing

This video is the holy grail but what's not mentioned is he summing through the board or strictly in the box? If he's using the board that's gonna defiantly enhance the harmonics if so but nevertheless this plugin chain is crucial

Highly skilled engineer.

even his voice has a lot of sub
