From Scratch to Release (step 5)

Hi everyone! Note: The plugins I use don't mean you SHOULD use the same ones. It's not about the specific plugins, but about why you use them. Since I'm not a mix/mastering engineer by trade, I need clarity on what I'm doing beyond what I hear. Workflow overview (time codes): 00:00:19 Temporarily disabling all tracks except drums 00:00:58 Setting the kick drum volume to 80% as the starting point for the drums 00:01:44 Important: Checking for mono compatibility 00:04:29 Redirecting signals from ungrouped drum parts to the Drums Full group 00:06:48 Somewhere around 300 Hz hearing it as a drum with a boxy sound (in mono for now) 00:07:06 I think I'll weaken the 300 Hz region by -6 db for now 00:07:12 It sounds better, but I'll look for frequencies, it will be more or less than 300 Hz 00:09:15 Of the two options (300 Hz and 389 Hz), I'd probably choose 300 Hz, which I like the sound of 00:10:09 Looking for the main frequency of the snare; I guess it should be in the 200-250 Hz range 00:10:33 I like the sound in the 230 Hz region 00:13:04 Making a small dynamic MID gain in the 225 Hz region on the snare (not 230 Hz as I thought before) 00:15:04 Panning cymbals 00:22:47 Applying a low-shelf filter around 200 Hz (dynamic -3 db) to the group tom channel to avoid conflict with the kick drum and bass [BASS] 00:25:22 Slightly attenuating the 96 Hz bass region so as not to interfere with the kick drum (I checked the kick drum's fundamental frequency earlier and it was 96 Hz) 00:26:18 Also applying a slight low cut around 30 Hz (not 60 Hz, as I've usually seen in rock music) because I want to preserve some sub-bass 00:32:24 I don't want the SIDE channel to have too much drums, especially the lows and mids, so I cut the SIDE channel around 4 kHz (9 kHz 00:53:18) and listen to it with different presets 00:40:23 Applying a low-shelf filter around 200 Hz (dynamic -3 db) to the group guitars channel to avoid conflict with the kick drum and bass 00:40:58 And also a slight boost around 1 kHz to highlight the guitars a bit 00:45:10 I slightly attenuate the entire bass range above 1 kHz to give the guitars more space, as the bass has few high notes [STRINGS] 00:49:49 Apply dynamic attenuation in the 200-1000 Hz range in the MID channel and boost the same range in the SIDE channel so that, as far as I can hear, it doesn't clash with the guitars [DRUMS GROUP] 00:53:33 Low Cut (SIDE) 10 kHz (8 kHz 00:54:37), I want the SIDE channel to have a minimum of drums [DRUM TOMS GROUP] 00:54:29 Low Cut (SIDE) 6 kHz, the toms were still audible, so I left them at a minimum in the SIDE channel [STRINGS] 00:55:18 Now it seems the strings boost in the SIDE channel is no longer necessary 00:55:32 High Cut 8 kHz, trying to move the strings out a bit in the mix 00:56:03 Low Cut 200 Hz, I also cut the low end because I hear the strings better that way [SYNTH] 00:57:23 Low Cut 200 Hz, I don't want to interfere with the kick drum and bass 00:59:27 Dynamic attenuation of 1 kHz to avoid interfering with guitars 00:59:53 Dynamic gain 2500 Hz—that sounds better to me 01:03:57 High Cut 8 kHz, I don't need that much high end [SYNTH SOLO] 01:06:24 This is the only time I use the FabFilter Pro-C2 (Mono) because the synth solo dynamics are too varied 01:08:41 Low Cut 300 Hz, I don't need this range of synth sound, and it also reduces conflicts between the drum and bass 01:08:57 High Cut 10 kHz, again, as far as I can hear, I don't need more high end 01:09:40 There's a slight cutoff around 1 kHz (-3 db (01:10:50 making the cut dynamic)); I hear a sort of boomy noise there [STRINGS] 01:18:22 I decided to replace the Low Cut 200 Hz with the Low Shelf 1 kHz; I think it sounds better [ACOUSTIC GUITAR] 01:25:15 Low Cut 100 Hz, I don't like the way this instrument sounds below 100 Hz 01:25:36 High Cut 10 kHz, I also don't need more high end [PIANO] 01:27:40 Low Cut 200 Hz, For now, a light preliminary cut 01:28:25 Moving the cutoff to the 120 Hz send; it sounds better that way 01:28:55 High Cut 6 kHz, this is a good enough cutoff for my ears [GUITARS (GROUP)] 01:32:02 Fade out the group guitar channel smoothly to create a seamless transition to the final section of the track [BASS] 01:32:50 Smooth fade-out for bass [ACOUSTIC GUITAR] 01:34:49 A smooth fade-in for acoustic guitar [STRINGS] 01:35:20 Smooth fade-in for strings [STRINGS] 01:47:12 Increasing the volume of the string automation (I mentioned in the previous video that the string volume would have to be automated) [MASTER CHANNEL] 01:52:53 Creating a smooth fade-out for the master channel so the track fades out smoothly 01:54:13 Exporting the track to WAV 32-bit for further mastering You can now download all the timecodes for all the videos in this tutorial series using the link below: https://thunderburst.itch.io/from-scr...
