MY TOP TIPS for improving your Mixing Skills! 

Great tips bro. Thank you!

Thank Youuuuu ❤

Great tips! Thanks!

I enjoyed this it was great! Thanks!

This is super informative bro thank you!

That last point is the one for me. Especially that I’m now a grumpy old man who hates 50 revisions. Trust me I’ve been there too….

This is brilliant, but as I'm so old, by the time I learn this level of 'knowing' my plugins I'll be dead. Lol.

Acustic was the Thing to me. I had a software that corrected my headphones and I was shocked. You're right about knowing your tools. If you can have a kind of intention tag on every single tool or technic, that would be great.

Nice slow and informative I wish all teachers was this clear I feel like I learned a lot, question should I trust my speakers or the headphones when mixing

I find a good mix has more to do with the sound selection then anything else when it comes to how loud and clear it sounds. Some stuff juat sounds really good Sonically vs other stuff that falls flat.

Loving this channel! Another great video!

So I’m a brand new sub and I’m not gonna lie. For a minute I thought it was Whols Alex Elliott, like Wholesome Alex Elliott.

My boi!! 😎 that first tip alone is golden and is worthy of a video in and of itself. Thank you again for providing so much value in the community

awesome & helpful

BRAVO!

Great tips Alex, spot on.

Woooooow wordddd "Understand How To Communicate the language of Music" Preach Preach Preach 😂. I keep telling people that no one is doing it like this on This RU-vid platforms absolute Gems 💎💎💎 I love the language analogy 👌🏾👌🏾

GREAT VIDEO! LOVE your content honestly

All really good tips Alex! The relationship between headphones and speakers is a gem. Also the knowing your plugins section and processing your voice as you demo it! Sick!

This is so unbelievably good. Thank you!

I guess I can add a few… 1. Don’t be scared to reject a project, if the source doesn’t sound good, you better NOT touch it! 🫠 2. Don’t go fully Auto Mode when mixing! A lot of folk simply follow what they heard or saw someone else do. Not bad but sometimes the mix needs a different fix. Recognising this is huge. 3. Clip your transient material on the individual tracks too and not just on your Busses. 4. Your low end is the first to kiss the ceiling of your limiter, Buss your Low End information and Control the bus with a transparent multiband before your final limiter. 5. To get a smooth top end, don’t be afraid to low pass your mix. Afterall everything after 20k is just hairy sizzling annoying frequencies. 6. Same with low frequencies. Check if you still have a hefty low end if you can get away with HI Passing up to 30hz. On PAs it reproduces a much cleaner sound. Done the tests. If not, then don’t! 7. We all don’t know it all and that’s ok! Remove the ego and learn when you can. It is a LOT! 8. MIX EVERYDAY!! Even if it’s 5 minutes. 9. For the love of God do not put “Grammy engineers” on this massive pedestal. Mad respect, but if you had the chance to work on a Beyonce record with your skill level patching a cable or mic’ a session, you’d also be likely to win a Grammy. Get the point? Again Mad respect but just saying… 10. Clients always have Demo-fever! Respect the Demo and improve upon it without steering away too much. You’ll get approved much faster always! 11. You better stay organised! Your sessions colour coded, all your busses working, you are consistent with A workflow. Bonus tip: Set a timer when going into a mix. After 45-1hr you’ll be losing perspective so it’s always best to work fast and/or take breaks. If you have to mix a lead vocal for 1hr then we have some improving to do. I could go on but will leave it here bro!😅
