i have no idea how to do something like that.)Ģ: (very interesting mono/stereo play here, but i have no idea how the mix has such an unusual 'tint' or 'color' to it once things get loud)ģ: (also love the way the kick/sub hits in this part)įor most people, someone else does the mastering, so putting an L2 limiter on the mix bus will eat up a ton of head room that the mastering engineer might use. i've heard rumors that they sometimes record things to tape or process it with a tape emulator.ġ: (i LOVE the way the short sub bass samples are mixed in the first part of this track. it's working pretty well but i would love to hear any other tips you have for mixing the bass to sound similar to what i posted.įor reference, i know that they have a degree in mix engineering from NYU and use an L2 ultramaximizer on the mix buss. In terms of the sub-bass, i've experimented with multiband sidechain compression and just switched to multiplicity so my bass will push through the low end of other parts of the track. how can you SMASH the dynamics without putting everything too far up in your face? is the problem that i'm starting everything too 'hot' (it doesn't clip on the master but it is loud) before i process it with my limiter? when i try to crush the dynamics with an L2 on the mix buss (pretty much all i use there besides maybe a small EQ boost/cut), people tell me it sounds like i'm trying to put everything up front in the mix and that it sounds crowded. i have never been able to achieve anything like this on my own. to me, it's very remarkable given how dense and varied the production and sound design is. Helps us keep the sub clean by reporting posts and comments that are in fault.Īrca has a pretty distinct way of mixing where there are often little to no dynamics in the loudest parts of a track, but things never feel too cluttered and the sub-bass comes through the mix extremely well.
