Hello (Producing) Person,

Enjoy and let us know your thoughts!

Hi Nik, I'm good friends with Tommaso de Donatis, he got a kick out the fact that you mentioned his track as an influence on this!

He touches on that subject in the 2nd Distortion video. I don't think a lot is going on on the master besides a limiter these days. I think a lot of what makes their music so loud is how much information is in the side without the Haas effect. It was a crazy revelation for me when I listened to my favorite tracks flicking between the mid/side signals. Still scratching my head on how magical their mixdowns are for sure.

Wow that breathing technique does work. I had a friend show me some breathing exercises back in the day but all they ever did was make me light-headed. This actually helped, thanks Nik! I come for the hi-hats, I stay for the LPTs. <3

Thanks! Awesome bass. Still looking forward to an in depth mixdown/master buss/sidechaining techniques video.

Santino

Thank you for this and the life changing music. I love to learn about the reference points. I think it is a successful nod to those tracks especially the first one you showed because of the unexpected transposition of the riff. This video was super inspirational. I love those weird overtone basses. When I first heard James Nestor talk about the dangers of mouth breathing a few years ago, I immediately thought of a certain song...

Very cool, what do you use on the master bus? i feel like its too easy to push stuff into a limiter when there is one there. Do you make sure there is head room for mixing if there is a limiter? or do you just push into it while adding instruments?

ENVIE

the wholesome start of this tutorial is just wth i needed before work.

Really would have liked to see how that build-up stabby bass sound was made. It sounded a lot like it was resampling the bassline from Collider, but maybe just a similar style of sound?

John McBeath

Please do an entire tutorial on how you approach the master bus in 2022 Nik! Have been paying $30 a month for 2 years 🤣
