Can You Actually Learn Music Production on Instagram?

Описание: There is a good chance you are an Instagram user, but instead of looking at memes, could Instagram teach you how to produce music? No, not really, but yes, kinda. To actually gauge the quality of the "how to make music" content, we choose 5 music production reels on a brand new Instagram account, and rated them on their knowledge content. The results are as expected...

About phase cancellation mentioned in the video:
Phase cancellations always happen no matter the frequency; though sometimes you have to pay attention to high frequencies (for example in a synth stack) the bass frequencies are the pain points for many mixes. This topic is really straightforward yet nuanced, and there are a lot of snake oil salesmen for mixing ideas of what you should/shouldn't do. I am one of them. I believe it is important to have control over the bass frequencies over anything and not unintentionally allow phase cancellation to occur. Should you ever stack two bass frequencies and discover a cool sound you want to use, definitely use it, but run the combined sound through an EQ to boost/attenuate the low frequencies affected by phase cancellation. Side note: A commonly overlooked bass frequency is the tail of a kick drum. There is a common misconception that the punchiness of a kick drum comes from the bass frequencies, but it is actually the ~600 Hz range that gives it the perceived loudness. TBH, just do whatever you want, but add an intentional component to everything you do.
