How to understand that a song is ready and can be shown to everyone in the world [+ checklist] — SAMESOUND

The line between a song in production and a finished project is very blurred. You can spend dozens of hours on mixing and mastering, and still not achieve success, or, on the contrary, you can devote quite a bit of time to mixing and get a quality track. SAMESOUND tells you how to know when a song is ready.

One of the most difficult questions that musicians face when working on their own tracks: "How do you know a song is ready for release?" At what point is it time to stop turning the knobs and polishing the mix and just let it out into the world? It is not so difficult to distinguish a finished track from a demo, you just need to meet a number of conditions.

We've put together all the essential things that distinguish a finished composition from a working draft. There will be no instructions in the text: instead, it will focus on what needs to be done and what to achieve from the project so that it can be safely published. No one claims to be the ultimate truth, however, if all 12 points of our checklist are observed (the checklist itself is at the end of the article), you can safely do a mixdown and publish the track everywhere.

of 12

Tracks and instrument parts are in place

Mixing any song begins with putting the tracks in the correct order and distributing the audio files and MIDI regions among them. Before starting work, check the mix for content: all instruments and parts should be in their places, no one should be forgotten.

It is not uncommon for musicians to forget about a part in the mix due to inattention and release a track without it. For example, at 19In 1993, the ChaiF group forgot to add a guitar part to the song "Dogs of the Outskirts of the City" - it came out in an incomplete form. The problem was discovered after the album "Children of the Mountains" went on sale.

of 12

Audio files are cleared of unnecessary sounds . While recording, there is no escape from them, but they have no place in the final mix.

Open each file and apply the silence effect to the beginning and end of the audio file. We are talking about places where there is no useful content - those where the musician did not play anything. The same applies to pauses in a part and pauses between lines of text.

In addition, make small, almost imperceptible decays at the beginning and end of each section. So the parts will not abruptly break into the mix and hit the listener in the ears - their appearance will become smooth.

of 12

Tracks are balanced in volume and panning

Balance in volume, competent panning and the absence of peaks and departures into the red zone is already half the success of the mix. Harmony between instruments is achieved in the early stages of working on a song with the help of volume and pan controls.

Mixing a track is easier when everyone in the mix is in their place, not pulling the blanket over themselves and not climbing into the foreground. It happens that after processing with a compressor or an equalizer, the balance of the composition collapses - the instruments crawl forward, hiding other members of the track. The reason for this is incorrect volume levels and incorrect panning.

Proper volume and panning ensure that the processing of the effect does not create additional problems. Even if the sound of the mix changes, it will all return to its place after small adjustments, and not a complete reworking of the project.

of 12

There is nothing superfluous in the arrangement

Dozens of layers seem to create a feeling of complex arrangement and some kind of conceptuality, but do not bring the work on the track closer to its logical end. Mixing dozens of sounds in one project is easy, but oversaturated compositions are impossible to listen to. The brain simply cannot focus on music, it gets tired of the flow of information. As a result, you want to turn off such a mix as soon as possible.

Previously, we advised you to check the presence of all parties in the project. Now that every piece of the puzzle has taken its place, it's time to get rid of the excess. Adequately evaluate the arrangement, think about what semantic load each part carries and whether the mix needs it. Why does a track need dozens of percussion instruments? What's the point of four guitar tracks? What is the purpose of the synthesizer in the verse?

If any batch raises questions and creates a feeling that it can be got rid of, get rid of it.

To find extra elements, put yourself in the shoes of the person listening to your track for the first time. Play your project in the background, go to another room, or do something while listening. Distracted listening reveals many things that you don't pay attention to in front of the DAW window - bad parts, extra instruments, inappropriate sounds.

of 12

Free from dirt, hum and haze in the mix

All instruments sound in their own frequency ranges. Due to the fact that the signals of different instruments can exist in the same or similar ranges, dirt is formed in the mix.

Find any problem areas in the mix and eliminate the resulting frequency collisions with the help of an equalizer, low-pass and high-pass filters. This will clean up the track and create extra space for each member of the composition.

If collisions cannot be resolved, study the arrangement carefully. Perhaps it will have to be changed by abandoning any instruments or replacing sounds.

of 12

Bass and kick live in love and harmony

The bass/kick relationship is an important aspect of a good sounding mix. You need to work with this pair especially carefully, as they require the right balance, cutting of colliding frequencies, eliminating hum and masking.

Kick and bass are not rivals for frequencies, but a team that holds the bottom of the mix. A spectrum analyzer and pocket equalization will help create harmony, during which a kind of separate isolated areas for the kick and bass are created on the spectrum. Particular attention should be paid to the area from 30 to 250 Hz - this is where the basis of these two instruments is located.

Additionally check the sub-bass range - frequencies up to and including 60 Hz. Too much and too little bass is easy to miss when mixing on small near-field monitors, but it's noticeable when using larger, more powerful monitors.

Given the nature of low frequencies, it's best to set the bass and kick tracks to mono so they don't bleed down the mix and create mud.

To check the relationship between kick and bass, you can listen to the mix on different sound sources. Run a rough mixdown through your music center, Genius tweeters, car audio system, regular and professional headphones, and wireless speakers. Check the identified sound flaws with a spectrum analyzer: it is the main assistant in mixing bass and drums.

Vocals don't come to the fore, but they don't get lost in the mix either

It sounds too spatial, but the fact remains: the voice should not stick out forward, covering the rest of the instruments, but at the same time it should not hide behind the other participants in the mix.

The voice should be at the center of the mix, flowing around and wrapped around by other instruments. To achieve the desired result, rely primarily on the ears, not on the eyes - it does not matter in what position the volume control is fixed, if the voice fits perfectly into the mix.

When working with vocals, consider the characteristics of the human voice. Some voices sound more powerful in nature and require more careful processing.

Within the mix, the vocals must always remain clearly distinguishable. The most useful tool here will be automation, which will bring the voice to the desired volume levels in different parts of the composition. Thanks to this, the voice will remain readable.

Like the kick drum, the vocals are well tested on different acoustic systems. When listening, make sure that the voice does not get lost among other instruments, but also does not shout over the entire mix.

of 12

The mix sounds like a whole

Pay special attention to the transitions between different parts of the arrangement. The transition from the verse to the pre-chorus, and then to the chorus and back should not stand out from the general musical flow. All parts of the song should have the same volume to smoothly transition into each other.

If your project lacks smoothness, add some reverb. It often smooths corners and makes transitions smoother. However, remember that reverb is not a panacea. If the problems are caused by recording at different levels, peaks and signal unevenness, reverb will not save here - it is better to rewrite the knockout moments.

of 12

The mix remains clear when going into mono

The mix should sound equally clear in stereo and mono. If the track is buzzing, and the reverb fills all the free space, turning the music into mush after the master channel is switched to mono, then the song is still far from being released. The most common causes of problems are too active use of effects, panning errors and high volume levels of individual tracks.

out of 12

The mix sounds the same on any equipment

Above we have already noted the importance of checking the mix on different audio systems, but we talked about this within the framework of working with individual instruments. If the previous problems are not noticed in the project, upload the track and listen to the song in cheap headphones, in the car, and even through the phone's speakers.

The fact is that what sounds good in professional headphones and studio monitors can become a disgusting mess when listening in more mundane conditions. Changing sound sources is one of the most effective methods for finding weak and problematic places in a song. Listen to your track on anything you can get your hands on, preferably consumer electronics.

Write down everything you need to pay attention to so you don't forget to double-check the mix and make any necessary adjustments.

However, remember that the goal is not to listen to the mix on as many gear as possible, including grandma's iron. Your task is to find problem areas and determine what is missing in the mix to complete.

out of 12

There are no artifacts in the mix

Sound artifacts occur in the project due to recording and mixing errors: recording at too high levels, using poor quality audio editing and poor crossfades. The result is clicks, crackles and other digital distortions. All this should not be in the mix.

Listen carefully to the track and identify everything, even the most subtle artifacts. If they don't, great. If there were problems, look for the cause of unwanted noise. Spot edits of the audio file will help correct the shortcomings, but this is not accurate. Don't be surprised if you have to re-record something or start mixing again.

out of 12

The mix has been finalized

Output limiters are one of the key aspects of mixing and mastering. They significantly raise the overall volume level, which, in turn, helps to identify errors in the balance, to detect the excess and lack of any frequencies.

Before exporting the project, set the limiter at the very end of the master track and check the sound of the mix at louder levels. A well-balanced mix often needs a little volume boost. If, after a slight turn of the handle, the track flies into peaks, you need to work further.

Use an RMS meter set to -10dB peak value, add low frequencies. In general, work until this moment comes:

Now that you know how to understand that a song is ready, take our checklist. A4 format — you can hang it on the wall to track the path of the demo to the finished track:

Seryoga - Antifreeze lyrics, lyrics

First Verse: Seryoga: SERYOGA
This is my microphone, it lay in the dust for a long time,
But that doesn't mean he's nobody.
Why do you need rap, who taught you?
Who taught?

Why all these memes, flash mobs,
This manikin challenge!?
Why are you wearing those slippery shoes?

I knew a jester, and he, like you, did not take off his cap!
He thought that he would fool everyone, but the crowd trampled him!
He sat down this time on the courts with the wrong ones!
Watch the shadows grow pale!

Why do you rap? Are you a neurotic? Little n*nis!
What you need: ringing pennies or an article about you in
Who wrote you this program in your inflamed Pentium?
Do you think you can hide behind a balaclava or a low hat?
Do you think the voice of the country is what is on Channel One?

He started out as Zorro! How did he get into this leper colony?
There is no particular rap chromosome. Another fucking commercial!
The task is to be smarter than others to hang spaghetti on everyone's ears!
Rap is no longer music - it's marketing!

Chorus:
Clown on steroids fucks the whole circus!
If rap is an oxymoron, I am oxytocin.
If rap is YouTube, then I am a vlog.
If rap is nogan, then I must be a Glock!
If rap is Mushrooms, then I am Griboyedov MS!
If rap is Beyonce then I'm Jay-Z
If rap is Jesus, then I'm the Antichrist!
If the dummy is a challenge, then I am Antifreeze!

Second Verse: Seryoga, SERYOGA
You're sold out again, the fans are flowing,
Like chicks at the registration.
Did you know that the Turkish word for palace is "Saray"?
I'm talking about the Olympic.

Checks are reliable,
Haters howl like cellos.
But, your muse is silent,
Like Judas at the Last Supper.

Who promised me that he would break the ice,
But f*cking iota[1?] and now there
This ice between us does not melt
You didn't expect to be knocked over like this.

I can't stand you anymore if I can't stand you
How are you [2?]
Enema orderly, low bad manners,
Whiskey without ice, discs and Kinotavr.

I'll bear you, it's purely God's gift.
I'll take you out, this is aerobatics.
I'll take you out, you bitches and gopota.
I will bear you, you are slime, I am the Minotaur.

Understand meanings, read thoughts.
On the places of the number, on the crosses of the brush.
Black mystic.
Are you afraid of bisty [3?]

Source teksty-pesenok.ru
Do you need rams? Do you need grime?
Lost scolding, shark pirates.
Hypofire is like a khach - Amiran.

I brought discord,
I fucked the whole prime.
It's not rap, it's comedy,
Everything than without memory, spam.

This is hysteria, this is an empire!
This is a dummy challenge for the lost.
It's TV Zombie Dance (hysterical?)
This is a bitter truth, like from the steppe.
