Crazy Two-Fader Mixing Trick

Jo Just wanted to say you have brought Recordingrevolution to a newer level and you help us to enjoy it with a lot of laughs put into your mix Thank You Jo

Joe!!! this is great! the low bus/ high bus fader trick is how i teach folks to use the sound systems we install in churches. keeping the lows down when the pastor is speaking helps keep hearing aids from distorting. then it makes it quick and easy to rock the house when the band kicks in by pushing the lows up to taste. got to keep that old folks section smiling! thanks for sharing

I learned and use a method that has 3 buses: Drums/Bass; Other instruments; and Vocals.

Well - that's a creative twist on building a mix. I look forward to trying both of these techniques soon. Joe, thanks kindly for your generous tutorials.

Great ideas! Mixing our next single and will try these out. Thanks, Joe.

Yeah I'm gonna try this! Thanks, as always, Joe.

Excellent- really neat and practical ideas. Thanks.

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!!

Great idea! Thanks Joe!

Great stuff!!!

Thank you Joe, I plan to try them out.

Super tutorial - thanks Joe

This really works wonders. I was having a terrible time with a track. I had restarted the mix multiple times but it just wasn't mixing well. Then i decided to mix via buss like h3 described here (btw i always route my tracks just like he described in every mix, with the names being different). I mixed drums and bass first, then pull down the drums buss fader and mix vocals, then same thing with other instruments. Then on the buss level i mixed in the other instruments and vocals, then brought in drums and bass. Honestly it was like a secret recipe to a meal. The song sounded exactly as i imagined it.

Thank you so much, u are really a hero God Bless You :)

Nice tip, Joe! Thank you!!! =)

Gonna try it, makes sense!

Someone's gonna be doing this 100% of the time from now on. Thank you, sir!! 😬

i split mine into 5 busses - low (bass, kick), drums (includes kick and vibe + drum verb), vocals (includes vox verb), instruments (includes mid-hi bass + instr verb), and solo (includes solo verb) into the master which has the room verb. then i can mix across the main groups and apply any bits of compression, ducks, eq, etc.

Muchas gracias, funciona perfectamente, te has ganado el like, la suscripción y todo XD
