Video series (full song mix)

Hi all, At the moment I'm currently working on a video series for my youtube channel. It will be roughly 10-11 videos and around 5 hrs of content. In the series I will be showing how I mix a song from start to finish, using only stock plugins in Sonar Platinum. I hope to start posting them by the end of the month, more than likely sooner. In the series I will cover, importing and organising tracks with colours and routing, I will be doing some editing, checking for phase and fixing timing using vocal align, I will do some drum replacement with the new Drum Replacer. I will cover things like parallel processing on vocals, drums and bass guitar. The whole lot will be covered from start to finish and the best thing is it is completely free for anyone who wants to take the time to sit down and look at the techniques I use to complete a mix. So head over to my youtube channel and subscribe so that you don't miss out on this. There is a link in my Signature or you can go here ---->  https://www.youtube.com/c...pBlXg5hDiIlzAeGMCQlzCA

It's a great way to share techniques with people and I love looking at other peoples videos to see what I can learn.

Looking forward to it. Once I finally get some bleedin' video screen cap software bought, installed and studied I'll be producing some stuff too. For now I live vicariously through the vids of others.
 
 

I use some inexpensive software that I bought quite a while ago. Here's a link

It's 4:18 am as I'm sitting here rugged up in a blanket with back pain and insomnia so I'm doing all sorts of mad stuff tonight.

Indeed and I'd like to document some things before I get too far into things that I forget what it was like being a complete beginner. So many great vids and tuts out there but when you are starting totally from scratch even the most basic stuff can be overwhelming.
 
I like the angle you are going for with using only the included tools for a start to finish mix. Even the vids on G3 that do this reach out to third party stuff (at least the ones I saw a few years ago did). The tools have changed as well and we can get a lot more done witht he current versions.
 
Good luck and best to ya.

Thanks man, Yeah I have bought so many plugins over the years that it's been a while since I used all stock plugins, I'm into video 6 now and it's been a challenge but great because I'm learning a lot as I go along, I have tried to use as many of the tools in sonar platinum as I can, I want to show what can be done in sonar. Thanks for the support man, Appreciate it a lot.

Wanted to say thanks for making these videos and I'll be sure to watch out for their release. This is my second attempt at this post. The spam filter keeps chucking my posts into the bin.

We have so many forum users that are contributing to the community not just by their helpful comments but by things like your videos but an abundance of utilities developed by forum members that help us wring out just a little bit more from Sonar.

Thank you for taking time to do this!

I am looking forward to watching these.

No worries man, I'm enjoying doing them and I'm learning from it myself, It should be worthwhile for all and hopefully everyone who watches will take a few things away with them that is useful.

New Videos added, 2nd video (The Plan) and the 3rd video (Drum Mix)

I'm looking forward to your videos and thanks for doing it.  Every time I experience a video I always take some valuable ideas from them.

The series is coming along now, Videos 5,6,7 and 8 are up, covering mixing guitars, mixing lead vocals, mixing background vocals and a quick video on refining the mix. Check out the series here ---> www.youtube.com/andrewbyrnemixing

Thanks Andrew, I hope you like the videos.

That's exactly what I did in this mix, I replaced the Tom's to get rid of the bleed.

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and sharing your knowledge! I listened to videos 1 and 2 in the series so far. I am looking forward to watching the rest. I am learning a lot but I can only take so much country music at a time ;-)
 
BTW are you from the same city as Brian Johnson? You sound similar to me.
 
I see that you have other interesting videos in your channel. I am looking forward to watching those as well.
 
What a great community we have here!

No not from the same place as Brian Johnson, I'm from Dublin, Ireland. Glad you like the videos.

lol I wasn't even close!
 
I always thought Brian Johnson was from Dublin. I had to look it up. Once again, not even close. :-)
 
When you reference the two kicks, in and out, as in in inside and outside the kick itself?
 
Thanks. I will watch more of the series tonight.

You must be a member over at Rate The Mix. I was involved with the recording and play bass and acoustic guitar on it. Hope you liked it.

 
Yes. I'm Jimvol over there. Really cool place. Will check out your videos soon.
