3 Of My Best Mixing Tricks

Today I want to share with you some of my best mixing tricks that I use in all of my song and they always always help my mixes come together. The first one is tacking an EQ any EQ will work 5 band EQ 4 band EQ any EQ, and add a high pass filter to it and tack out 100 Hz that's a good starting point that's going to help clean up your mix a little more and help bring your instruments forwarded and you'll be able to hear what was not there before. After you apply that high pass filter you want to apply that high pass filter to all of your tracks exspeted your kick drum, and your bass guitar, once you apply that to all your tracks, your kick drum and your bass guitar are going to stand out in your mix a lot more and that's what you want. My next best mixing trick is getting ride of the 400 Hz rage so what your going to do is grab
Another EQ again this can be any EQ 
and roll of 400 Hz and then - 3dB for the gain and apply that same cut of EQ to all of your tracks and I mean all of them 
Once you apply that cut of EQ your mix should sound cleaner and you'll be able to hear instruments that where not there before. 
My next best mixing trick is to stack  
Vocal compression and what that mean I stack 2 compressor and add one to your vocal track and then add the other one underneeth and that should bring your vocal forwarded in your mix a lot more
You won't be fight your mix to bring your vocal forwarded because that's what where all looking for is to have our vocals sit ontop of your mix 

I hope there mixing tips helped you and if you have any other questions please

Thank you have a great day

Edit Your Tracks

Hello everyone I'm going to tell you one of the most importing things music producers forget to do and its something that every music producer should be doing but they think they can skip this but they cant and its something called editing. Now some people think they can tack the stuff out in there song that they don't want with plug ins not true. You need to edit your tracks 
I mean you could mix and mix and add as many plug ins as you want but when it comes time to start the mix down and you take that CD out of your DAW your going to hear all those pops cracks noises you don't want in there. So remember to tack your time edit your tacks and listen carefully because there will be noises in your song your going to want to tack out

How To Make Your Mix Sound More Full

Hey guys today i want to talk about how you can make your mix sound more full, like do you ever get to that point where your stuck and at the bottom of your mix just dose not sound right and it just sounds like it could be more full in the back round well i have some ideas for you to change that and make your mix sound good and full and know more empty spaces. Hears some ideas add some other instruments in the back round like shakers tambourines bells all that kind of stuff hold those instruments up to what ever microphone you are using at that point and play them along with your song and then set your faders on your mixer and see where they fit into your mix of your song. make sure when you hold your instrument up to the microphone make sure its not to close. So before you start recording make sure you find the right rage before you start recording and make sure you faders on your mixer are not to high because then when you play the track back its going to sound all muffle and that's one thing you don't want. Once your done recording those instruments pull up the faders and listen and find where they fit into the mix of your song. Recording and mixing is all about balancing your tracks and seeing where everything fits in

Vocal Editing

Hey guys today i want to talk to you about editing your vocals where there are breaths you tack out and where there are unwanted noises you just don't want to hear in there. So lets say you have this vocal track that you just record and then you played it back and there's some breaths in there that you would just love to get ride off but your new to editing and recording. Well this is where i can help you and tell you what you need to do. What you want to do is zoom in on your track and then press play, and listen to where ever you hear a noises you don't like then when you hear it, the next step is to find out where that noise is in the track, once you found it you want to tack your slicing tool ever Daw comes with one Daw mean your recording software its just another name for it so once you have your slicing tool and you found where the part is in your song you want to tack out tack your slicing tool and slice in front of the part you want to tack out and in the back of the part you want to tack out and then every Daw comes with a mute tool so find your mute tool and once you found it tack it and clink on that part in the middle and that will mute the part you don't want. Another way you can get ride of unwanted noises in your vocal tracks is by doing the same thing by slicing but you don't mute it this time you just delete it but if your going to go with that way you want to make sure you put your tack back to where it was because sometimes when your doing this is your Daw is on the wrong setting then your track can jump to another part of the song it is possible to put it back but i don't know what kind of Daw you guys use so i cant tell you how to do it. Now if your a cubase user like me then i can teach you all kinds of stuff and tell you how to do it but Im not sure what Daw you use so i cant. So just remember slicing your vocals tracks and getting rid of unwanted noises can make your vocals sound more clean and a lot more upfront in your mix
