Bob's 5 things: 1 pitch 2 dynamics 3 timbre 4 articulation 5 level of activity

@MrTommySullivan 9 лет назад

Man, what a great engineer. Seriously articulate. Great ear.

I learn so much in those 1st 2 minutes thts wild crazy

@tor7492 5 лет назад

Just watched 2 or 3 vids from this guy and i learned a lot from him. He explains clearly and with a lot of animations of the sounds he is describing, which helps a awful lot because this is youtube and we're listening on cheap sound systems and most of the time its hard to hear whats being done to the music. Bob realises this and adapts accordingly which is great way of imparting the Knowledge we are all trying to learn. He describes in detail how stuff (low,mids etc) build up in a mix over time better than anybody i've looked at. Thanks Bob......

@ronfrancois 8 лет назад

It could be the kids on phones are just taking notes. The trick is to keep your own concentration and not be sidetracked by having to make judgement calls on everyone around you. Live and let live. Or mind your own business. I Couldn't find one interesting comment here that expands on this great presentation from Bob.

@aparimitus11 4 года назад

Bob is simply superb when he imparts his knowledge on sound structure in a musical whole. There are experts and there are master craftsmen... I will put him in later category...

@alvarezgamers Год назад

Definitely a Master legend in the game.

@fhoplist 9 лет назад

As a previous poster commented and for those who don't know the song is Olga Bell - "Rubbernecker"

@MikeSpexTV 4 месяца назад

He said this in another tutorial too but it’s one of the best take homes and always sticks wit me , “ can you hear everything?”

@MikeHeebz 5 лет назад

Anything Bob Power shares is worth listening to & putting into practice to see if/how it can work for you. Thanks to Mr. Power for always sharing his knowledge. Anyone know of any other videos of Bob mixing an entire track? =)

@MOSHAEMUSIC 10 лет назад

So glad that you are mentioning checking for phase! I get projects from aspiring artists who need some mixing work & I run into this problem a lot. I use to accept stereo mixes but I can't anymore bc I have to bring out every trick in the book to fix the phase. So I always go with the splits & sometimes stems. Great video BTW!

@new9000music 10 лет назад

Thanks for this! Bob's a good teacher...delivery is on point.

@mchlclark 7 лет назад

Thanks Bob Power. I'm slowly understanding headroom in the software. I get it as a concept, and know what I should be hearing. I can hear it in many of the covers I love. It's just trying to understand my DAW, and how to use it to get the depth, height, and width for all the tracks to be heard. So far seems to be mostly playing around with my old multi track projects. So experience. Each time I play with the same one, it sometimes just sounds different, then finally sounds closer to what I want to hear. And the source tracks aren't that great, so it's also showing me just how powerful a DAW can be. Unfortunately I was led astray by a "Friend" who I believed knew what they were talking about. So I had some silly ideas to clear out.

@Duchovnymusic 9 лет назад

The song is Rubbernecker by Olga Bell but it hasn't been released yet.

@PatchBenni 8 лет назад

I so completely love when our amazing legends step out to expose us to their well-worn and war-torn secrets of the studio! However, is it too much to ask that whoever places a lavaliere mic on the person speaking do a check first to ensure CLARITY? I have seen so many of these that look great but with muffled spoken word. I want to hear what he is saying without swimming my way through 400-600Hz mud.

@JayPeek 10 лет назад

roey izhaki provided some cool sub harmonic mixes for his book mix elements. i really appreciate Bob kicking off his clinic with a sub harmonic dilemma....

@emkyrolack7919 4 года назад

Great explanation! One of the best mixing engineers that can teach actually, no doubt. The guy with the black/red hat seems bored. He just could got out of the studio and period. I would kill to be in person in this kind of masterclass and that guy is playing around with his phone, Seriously?

@kicksncapz 6 лет назад

Big question, who is the smartest singer you ever worked with sonically, who knew thier instrument the best(?voice, what it needed) asking all the engineers

@adamingram9014 7 лет назад

Did anyone practice with the 5 concepts he talked about? I was wondering if anyone played around with each of the five concepts in each of the three levels of focus? Example: a kick that is 1. Low Pitch 2. Loud 3. Dark Tamber 4. very articulate 5. medium level of activity. There are so many options here and I was wondering if anyone had found some cool combinations?

Lowkey trash

@snapascrew 7 лет назад

In his list of 5 things I think he forgot one - ambience. how reverberant or dry something can sound based on the room or mic placement or added processing. not to try and sound like i know more than him obviously.

@hotblood7329 8 лет назад

good stuff

@foobeats 8 лет назад

Great engineer but somehow the video is confusing. Maybe a longer and better cutted video would have explained some passages accurately.

@stephenstrang590 7 лет назад

Yeah horrible editing.

@nicebluejay 6 лет назад

agreed

@nicholaslong4360 4 года назад

there's a much longer version. Just search for bob Power masterclass, he breaks things down over the course of an hour and walks through his mix of a song as well as expands upon the opening concepts.

Is there somewhere i can find the full video?

@Chris-pk9ec 5 лет назад

Somebody please help me to get through my question..i always've been heard about "low level monitoring" when you doing a mix. but what im seeing here is bob's monitoring level is so higher than i expected.. is it normal to listen music in that high level when you doing mix?? i mean, by the fletcher munson curve, his ear won't disern the differences between high and low frequency level in a minute if he keeps his monitoring level that high.

@kame5271 8 лет назад

7:25 What does he mean by "listen on one speaker"? Turning off your right speaker leaving your left or what?

@kalecchi 8 лет назад

+Farai Sean from my experience, i think it's easier to focus on tones w/ one speaker. while mixing in stereo is obviously necessary for managing where sounds are in the stereo field, toning eq while facing a single speaker lets you concentrate more on tuning the tonality/timbre of the sounds themselves, and their relation to each other in the freq spectrum. Derek Ali, Kendrick Lamar's engineer, also has a practice of mixing in mono - "I mix on just one Auratone, because I like specific elements of the mix to pop out, and listening in mono on that speaker really helps me define that. " (www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun15/articles/inside-track-0615.htm#para6)

@kame5271 8 лет назад

You are a beast for sharing this info! Thank u young Jiraiya :)

@soulguitar77 8 лет назад

+Farai Sean No, listen on 1 speaker in MONO!!It is the best for EQing. You have less room distraction, you don't have to sit exactly in the middle and trying to eq an instrument to give space in the whole arrangement, you hear more masking effects, instruments covering each other a.s.o. When they are already panned, it is more difficult to hear in which frequencies they are fighting.When they are all in "the middle", you hear exactly where it needs more space. Also Compression and many other things are worth to check in mono... www.thesessionguitarist.com/online-mixing-service.html

@kame5271 8 лет назад

+soulguitar77 Thanks, I tried this on some guitars, did some EQ and I must say its much easier to figure things out.

@soulguitar77 8 лет назад

+Farai Sean Indeed, it is...and switching back to stereo after makes the sun shining :) Just don't forget to put a plugin on the mixbus, which can be set to mono. Or some audiounterfaces have a funciton to switch to mono.
