This just might be my favorite video of yours. One topic that I don’t think gets enough attention in the online music production advice space is the disparity in signal characteristics between tracks recorded directly through a sterile preamp and tracks recorded through analog on the way in. Would love to hear about your experience with bridging that gap. Happy new year 🎉
You just need to add more character when mixing! Saturation, analog compression modelling etc. Or have a hybrid setup and have some outboard gear to add that analog color.
Nice tips. The very first one about Production taking a 5 to 10, I would have liked to hear a sample of a 2 or maybe a 5 to see what could not be done. Maybe list the important steps required to ensure at least a 7 during the initial recording process.
@@masteringcomI do agree from experience, I’ve opened up some of my very first finished tracks that I’ve had sitting on garage band for like a year and a half, and the lack of knowledge that I had then created multiple unfixable issues; the worst problem and main cause of some of this was Bouncing the audio file with all the plugins I thought I knew what I was doing on a track. Once you bounce, especially on IOS garage band, you’re not getting any chance to fix it
One of the best videos I've seen on the subject for beginners (in my case). Straight to the point and deeply informative. Thank you for taking the time to explain things in a very objective way and for the emphasis on making conscious decisions based on facts and context. Not so easy to find these days. Cheers!
One of the top best videos on just giving tips on this subject for sure! Does not push anything on you, and makes you aware of topics outside of mixing that correlate with it. Amazing channel find for me!
We really needed this. The close your eyes one is really amazing. I've found myself finding mistakes faster when i close my eyes and listen to the mix.
If the audio is great, the mix is great. Doing mixing for non par quality, makes a mixing session last 5x longer for me. I long for great quality, so a great quality mix is created.
I love the shut your eyes move. If it sounds better it sounds better. Forget the 150$ you spent on a plug in . A lot of times we use plug ins just because we bought them. So stop buying them ! And MIX! Is that sound gym lessons on frequencies? I know what I want or don't want when I eq . But I have to sweep to find it. I think when sweeping you lose site of the initial frequency and start messing with anything you sweep over that u you don't like. Which most frequencies jacked up 20 db sound shitty. Good video I learned quite a bit. Thanks.
It looks like you use VSX headphones. For someone who can only mix on headphones I’m curious if you did a review on them and tips? As well your use. Also, why is the lead vocal track in stereo?
I really enjoy the content in these videos. However, the video editing is overkill. Too many cuts with a zoom on the same camera angle. It’s disorienting and the frequency makes it feel instantly cliche. Otherwise, great video. Thanks.
