5 Minutes To A Better Mix II: The 4db Rule - TheRecordingRevolution.com video free download

Damn Deal Done

Here is the best tip in scenarios like this. Close your eyes and use your ears. Drag the fader to the ground, close your eyes, then raise it. When did mixing become a visual art based on the tiny numbers on the digital faders?This video does highlight something quite common though, the obsession over small changes which can really drive you crazy.

Shane Hilton

Thank you. Loved your song.

Charles Wiley

i found that lowering tracks is much better than raising them = clearer quality less ditortion and by lowering sound doesnt really mean the sound wont be heard i always play back my final product and you can determine if you need to raise it but raising first will tend to make you want to turn other things up

What's the name of that song ? That is on point ! Is it on I-tunes or Amazon ?

SilverBeat is Terry Carroll

It all comes down to what you want to hear. GC well always balance every track.

i would have kept the guitar lower and the tambo higher lol

Hereson

Thank you!

jake0r

I could kiss you for this!

T. Fiorrenza

Great tip! Thnx

micahbrill

Very cool!

Isaac Rector

A lot of the time (for me) original ideas dissolve over time from second/third/forth guessing. This seems like a really simple way to assure yourself of the musical vision when you've forgotten where you started

Dave Kelly

What do you set your master level to before starting to record any tracks? 

Greg Hipwell

good tip

TruthBeTold

put some reverb on the tamborine and pull it down 1db

Bryan Anderson

Cool tip!

I only just started producing, I've hardly been mixing a track for an hour and I'm loosing my mind. I think I need to go to bed

azfiu

i guess this isnt a bad tip but I think the guitar woulda sounded best at -2db :/
