Did you know FL could do this? #musicproduction #flstudio #musicproduction In The Mix 2024-04-13 | This will unlock so much functionality in your 3rd party plugins. I don't know why people assume you can't do this FL Studio. It is not very intuitive but it is available and I have a full tutorial detailing the set up and some cool ways to use this.

Why did everyone get this wrong? In The Mix 2024-03-16 | Well, this was a video I didn't think I'd have to film! After 153,000 views, more than 1000 comments and dozens of email and DMs, I decided to share the result of the audio test in last weeks video.The comments section was almost a perfect split between people choosing A or B, with a minority sharing that they couldn't tell which one was high-passed.While I had everyone focussed on A or B, the reality is that the high pass filter was turned on and off 4 times in each example. There was no switch at the cross between A and B although many people claimed to hear a big difference right at the transition point. This has been incredibly valuable for me and has made me entirely rethink how I present audio examples, before and after tests and plugin reviews on the channel. It has also shown me how deeply ingrained some audio myths are, through repetition over many years, and that this content is worth continuing. I'm learning more with each video too.Let me know what topics you want me to cover next time!0:00 - Intro0:45 - Audio test1:05 - The comments section1:45 - The answer3:05 - Warning for FL Studio users3:50 - Thanks for watchingFL Studio Users: The reason I would advise against using the "20/30Hz + 18kHz Cut" preset is because it has been brought to my attention that many users simply apply this when mastering and are not actually listening to the changes in the audio. Objectively, a 30Hz filter is far too high for mastering 99% of audio.

I Found The Best AI Noise Reduction Plugin - Update Dec 2023: It’s no longer free In The Mix 2023-08-05 | Update: 29th August - It appears that from the 31st of October the Free version will no longer be available and will be replaced by a premium/paid version.I recently discovered a free AI de-noising and re-reverb plugin called GOYO by Supertone AI. I have lots of noise reduction and audio restoration plugins but downloaded it out of curiosity. I ended up liking it far more than expected and wanted to share it with you too. On my system, it is a lightweight, real-time (low latency) noise reduction and reverb removal solution for video editing, music production, vocal recording etc.It removes unwanted noise, hiss, hum, talking, traffic, (rivers!), wind, microphone bumps, construction work, room reverb, and echo from recordings with surprising quality. It's probably my favourite way to remove noise from recordings and make your voice sound more clear.Many of you are musicians but I know some of you are also video editors, please send this video to anyone who might benefit from using this tool.

I Made a New Plugin - BSA Reviver Full Walkthrough In The Mix 2023-07-15 | I released my first audio mixing plugin 2 months ago. Since then, there have been hundreds of reviews, testimonials and comments about BSA Reviver.

New FL Studio Keyboards - Novation FLkey 49 and FLkey 61 First Look In The Mix 2023-06-24 | After the launch of the FLkey Mini and FLkey 37 last year, Novation have released the FLkey 49 and 61.These are the first FL Studio MIDI controllers with faders, allowing us to mix directly from the keyboard. I'm so happy that they listened to feedback from the FL Studio community and decided to add faders, pattern modes and extend the keyboards for those who needed more range for their performances.I'm honestly really excited about these ones (especially the FLkey 49) as they really are the best MIDI controllers for FL Studio in my opinion! It controls FL Studio’s Step Sequencer, Channel Rack and Mixer, and has Scale and Chord modes to improve your performances.Were you also waiting out for a larger MIDI keyboard?You can find out more about the FLkey MIDI keyboards and the included software here.This is not an affiliate link: novationmusic.com/en/keys/flkeyThis video is sponsored by Novation.0:00 - Intro0:35 - Overview of features2:58 - New Features (The Faders)4:56 - Design5:12 - Build Quality5:58 - FLkey Mini6:21 - FLkey 376:37 - FLkey 497:16 - FLkey 61💻 Get My Mixing Plugin, REVIVER: youtu.be/-Xv4Ds4jTp4📱 Instagram: @michael.inthemix📱 Join My Free Discord: discord.com/invite/inthemix🌍 My Website / Contact / Hire me: michaelwynneaudio.com🎧 My Sound Banks / Preset Packs: https://inthemix.store🎧 20% OFF SoundGym: bit.ly/ITMSoundGym20💸 Releasing a song?

Can You Hear The Difference? Vocal EQ Zones #shorts In The Mix 2023-06-16 | Make your voice sound better with EQ #shorts #mixing #editing I've made hundreds of long-format videos here on YouTube. I wanted to challenge myself to try making some compact versions of my most popular videos. Hopefully, these are useful on their own or they might lead you to dive deeper into a specific topic! I've been hesitant to create shorts/reels because I personally prefer long-format videos. However, I see the benefit in quickly introducing topics/techniques and tools without having to invest 10/20 minutes in a full video. So this is the start of me trying my best to create useful, high-quality shorts and reels!For a more detailed tutorial, my full "Voice EQ" videos can be found on YouTube here: youtu.be/pjMCyLsRNig
The Problem With Online Mastering Tutorials In The Mix 2023-06-03 | The "problem" with mastering tutorials online is that it is very difficult to hear the subtle changes to the audio. Expert mastering tips and techniques are often given without a context and most (great!) tutorials are highly genre dependent. The result - you might not be able to accurately apply the tools and techniques to your own music. My solution to this is a 5 step mastering system that will give you consistent, repeatable results in any genre and using the skills you already have. My usual long-form content includes many "before and after" audio examples and demonstrations. Learning to listen for these subtle changes takes many examples, lots of time and plenty of practise on your own music. I decided to outline the whole process here instead of wasting time on overly specific audio examples.Save this video and watch it step by step when you next master your own music. View this as though you have a friend working with you as you master your own music. You don’t need to watch the whole video and try to remember everything, just take it step by step and you’ll have an amazing master by the end.0:00 - What's this all about?1:10 - Step 1 - Error and Phase Check3:49 - Step 2 - Balance and Tone8:28 - Step 3 - Loudness Target10:14 - Step 4 - Dynamic Range Reduction11:10 - Step 5 - Final Limiting and Dither13:09 - How To ImproveNotes and Tools Used:Throughout this video, I use some plugins for the examples. These are only a tiny selection of the possible tools you can use. However, some of the basic tools you need are listed below:DAW or Audio Editor (They can all do this. Ableton, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase etc)A dedicated editor such as iZotope RX is useful but not essential.EQ - Any high-quality EQ with Mid/Side and Left/Right filters. Good options include TDR Slick EQ M, ProQ3 and Ozone Equaliser. Compressor - A good compressor with as many controls as possible. Ideally controls over knee, peak and RMS release such as the free TDR Kotelnikov. Pro C2is a good premium option etcAnalogue Style EQ - Used for tone shaping, there are hundreds of free and premium options. Ideally with stepped 0.5 or 0.25 dB increments. These make it easier to dial in subtle amounts of processing.Clipper - A clipper with a “Soft” clipping mode. A free option is Venn clip although it is a little difficult to dial in. A trusted premium option is StandardClip by Sir audio, although I have not used it personally.Limiter - Ozone Maximiser, Pro L2, Sonnox Oxford Limiter v2, TDR Limiter No6 GE (the new one) are all great options. There are so many to choose from, I prefer a limiter with as many controls as possible. Transient shaper - A multi-band transient shaper such as BSA Reviver is a great way to bring back some dynamic range and punch to your master.Loudness Meter - Your limiter might have a built in loudness meter, but I have always trusted the Youlean Loudness Meter 2 (Free or Pro). LUFS are simply a measurement of perceived loudness relative to the dB scale. LUFS are the primary loudness unit used during mastering to asses the average and short term loudness. However, dB True Peak is still used for the absolute loudness ceiling.💻 Get My Mixing Plugin, REVIVER: youtu.be/-Xv4Ds4jTp4📱 Instagram: @michael.inthemix📱 Join My Free Discord: discord.com/invite/inthemix🌍 My Website / Contact / Hire me: michaelwynneaudio.com🎧 My Sound Banks / Preset Packs: https://inthemix.store🎧 20% OFF SoundGym: bit.ly/ITMSoundGym20💸 Releasing a song?

AUDIO ENGINEER Tests The Best Headphones Under $300 In The Mix 2023-02-25 | I tested the best headphones for music production and mixing. Please read below for information about how I compared them.Good headphones should:1) Provide an accurate, spacious sound stage to aid in mixing and mastering music.2) Reveal low, mid and high frequencies without distortion so you can make quick production decisions.3) Faithfully reproduce the dynamics and transient response of the material. 4) Reveal the true depth and image of audio material.5) Feel comfortable on your head for many hours and be strong enough to withstand daily use.I tested each headphone with a high-quality headphone amplifier and a standard MacBook 1/8 audio output.

Mid Side EQ Simplified - A Powerful Tool for Stereo Mixing In The Mix 2022-03-12 | In this video, I share a few ways to use Mid-Side EQ to improve your production and mixing. It is important to have a good understanding of Stereo EQ to get the most out of Mid-Side EQ but it can be used by anyone of any ability. I find that it is a good tool to help me do less damage and be more precise when mixing but it is certainly not essential in most situations. It can be used to create width, depth and space in a mix.
