Hip-Hop and R&B Mixing Masterclass w/Young Guru and Anthony Cruz

The gain staging part at the start confused me. He's saying he works at -18, but then sets the kick to 0db? Does he mean to gets all the channels to -18 with a utility or something before they hit any plugins, then at the end of the chain he wants the kick a 0db? What part of the chain should be -18?

gems all around!

I consistently come back to this video for reference on best practices! Guru is a legend!

The biggiest shock to me is just how many effects (delays and reverbs) Guru does (and apparently pulls them back a lot) 😧

@uad thank you for this video, I enjoyed it and learned a lot 🙏🏾 is it possible you can make another another movie with Young Guru on how he uses the Envetide H910 harmoniser?

go watch luca pretolesi. he makes these amateurs look like clowns.

Love i'all

Bam Bam want too get in the booth

Awesome content!

this was definitely worth the time

Anthony with the nonchalant "pause" and right back to mixing 😂

🙏🏾💯🔥

This is absolutely awesome to learn from. I've been watching this ALL morning here and there...😅 I hope there's more like this on this channel!

Loved this session a lot, learned a lot but man I hated the way he says 2021 and Idky. 😆

THIS BEAT SHITTY

Teletronix

This shit stupid. Why cap him at 15 mins??

Sooo MIX VOCAL FIRST OR BEAT FIRST?

the audio is so bad, we have to imagine what their adjustments are really doing??

Cruz's beat hits harder but Guru's vox is silkier tho

🚄🚄🚄

It's a great pleasure to listen to these guys

Amazing video!!

That was awesome. The mix-off is something tought me more than almost anything else.

what does he mean by he starts at -18?

guru is at such a different level when it comes to his mixing.

Oh man this is soo DOPE! I’d LOVE to see more of these!

Guru mix is fire!!

Anthony Cruz vocals too close and the male voice was too dull.

3db at 8k on Young Guru for vox

Guru is better but cruz is a legend and so good to !

This point of mixing is so much better than the final result...
...so sad.
They should keep these with much more ambiences and movement like Guru's and the male voice claro like Antony's.

Was Cruz cutting out or is my computer tripping?

PART 2. BRO PLEASENICE TALK

Can someone explain what YG means when he says I mix at -18db?
It confuses me when he says that but the master VU is at -3db.... but some elements of the mix are at +18db I think he said? I'd sincerely appreciate the guidance.

This is a true masterclass

Key phrase... season to taste

Ij

Dope

Going to Omega Recording School as we speak amazing school!!!!!!!!!

This was amazing. I learned so much, man that Guru is a beast, and Cruz showed me some tricks I will be using tonight, big ups to both of you, and thank you very much for sharing, also thanks to UA for this 3 part series you just made a fan and a consumer, one love to you all.

More pls

thank you guru you help so much

When I saw Anthony Cruz, I expected to see AZ

Maybe I could keep watching them for a day or two straight... ;-)))
Cool!

Have a question if I gainstage does everything have to be at the same level?
