My experience in a super expensive studio was that our song there sounded as big a mount Everest. Gigantic. I was like “man, I never heard a song sounding this big”. What happened when I got home and checked my super song in my car, speakers, etc? I was like “meh, is not bad but definitely nothing special”. I want mixes that rock on airpods. That’s all.

That closing bit was pure gold. The food analogies are simple but effective. It resonates because the current track I'm working on has strayed into more frustrating/tedious territory than fun. I reckon that's showing when I re-track bits I'm unhappy with. Getting way too clinical. Will aim to focus on the energy of the track today and see if that helps me stop being so pedantic. It would be nice to finish some time this side of Christmas 😂 Cheers mate

@nocturnalstudios2671 9 месяцев назад

Great video, I listen to my beats ear buds for hours a day due to breaks at work and during working out. Between my treated room and those ear buds my mixes are sounding better than ever. Usually nail the first pass with a few small creative revisions afterwards. Knowing your reference source is absolutely key. I’m Using Audiomovers inject to reference on my Bluetooth ear buds. I can walk around the room and house and just passively listen for a bit and things will make themselves clear. Also started using less visual plugins and just use my ears. I crank dials then back them off until stuff fits. Don’t over think it

@JimRobinson-colors 9 месяцев назад

The only thing I disagree with is the "knowing your room" analogy. The room needs to be flat so you can take the thousands of rooms in the wild - out of the mix. In the old days, every control room was finely tuned to not influence any frequency. If there are problems in the room - it doesn't matter if you know what the problems are - you won't be able to unhear the problems - your brain will mix them back in. Probably one of the reasons that you have had success with mixing on the NS10Ms is that they are always close enough to your ears ( near field monitors ), to remove the actual room problems - And I do agree that knowing them helps as well. But in the 1980s, I could pretty much walk into any studio in the world and the reference would sound almost the same. The client speakers in the room were always different and as you said were extremely hard to mix with.

@TBRNashville 8 месяцев назад

100%. Working around clear problems, like SBIR and other room nodes, is a recipe for disaster for most people. Having an (at least reasonably ) accurate room is pertinent IMHO.

@georgesimpson1406 5 месяцев назад

Its less about flat spectrum to me, but more about how room resonances are NOT just an frequency graph. Ears do adapt to different distributions, although they do matter just try mixing with an equalised wastes bus and you get different results yes. A room with resonance is reactive. Small changes in position change the sound. It obscures detail. It makes a dynamic response when a certain instruments note matches that resonance. One channel may sound different to another across left and right or phase cancel sides too much. Make you take off all the verb because the room lacks definition. Not so much flat, you can use non flat monitors like n s 10 in a good room.

@TBRNashville 8 месяцев назад

Agree for the most part, however, not having an accurate room is a recipe for disaster for most people. It was for me early on even though I knew my room well and had the same speakers for years. The room added an EQ curve that was completely counterproductive to attempt to work around. I had to reference on multiple systems just to overcome it and the final mixes in the mix room never sounded "right". I'm on studio #5 now and the last two have been acoustically accurate rooms. My mixes are much more effortless and translated everywhere pretty much immediately. Mix revisions are few which saves me time and money.

I was actually about to say what you've said here. Rooms can be incredibly problematic and counterproductive. I can only somewhat agree with him on that point. Headphones are always a go to for me because of exactly that. Even half of what he was saying about being lost in big studios using their far field Genelecs is not knowing the room.

@georgesimpson1406 5 месяцев назад

Agree. Mine just made me obsess over bass levels because the slightest changes in position were causing things to disappear in the bass. Its more a case of needing to pass a threshold of quality like most equipment and subsequent upgrades pay off less and less the more you spend. I always think to ask- does the advice giver mean its fine not having a 5k mic or do they mean not have an 57 quality. I think most room qualities Miguel not pass the last threshold. Rooms are one of the most expensive and useful tools. Or else headphones, lowing ties limitations, graphs and simple brief speaker tests on a couple systems do me fine.

@Cchogan 6 месяцев назад

Even decades ago, visiting engineers would turn up with their own near-fields if they were ones we didn't have. In one studio, we had wiring running through into the kitchen which had a crappy hi-fi stereo in it, and we had a transistor radio sitting on a rack. Great vid!

@FlatLineStudios 9 месяцев назад

Great Video. I love the Panels you use in your studio, I made similar ones for my studio. You definitely need treatment on adjacent walls to remove room echo to mix clearly. I use the CLA10a to mix and have a separate mastering room with very clear reproducing full range speakers system. I think depending on mix or master and the final desired result, speakers can matter, but simpler is better for the mix.

So much truth in a single video. My experience as a musician, when stepping into some local studio, was that the more the engineer stressed the importance of his fancy analog gear, the more his mixes tended to suck. The car test should be such an obvious piece of common sense to dispel all the audio illuminati nonsense, and yet.

This may be the best bit of info out there. Thank you. Use what works, not what is the new fad. Most important thing you said was about where does a good song come from. I am working on a song now that the tracks were layed down horribly. I am having to time align all sorts of stuff and tune vocals and guitars and fix tones. It's a good song, but, even with the best efforts of someone that has been mixing for over 50 years, it will never be great because of the lack of detail when making the music. Sad but true. BTW, your voice sounds the best out of about 50 of these YT creators that claim to be Pro's. Nicely done.

@Zactivist 5 месяцев назад

Solid, really good points! It really is so easy to get bogged down in this stuff and forget the very basics that matter most. You really distilled it into a very concise video! I'm always reminded that with 'normal' people who don't produce music, and don't care to, they NEVER, NEVER, NEVER say "wow, that's a really good mix!" about a song they love- it's just simply, "That's a really great SONG." You're so right, that no one will ever say that about a track that the 75 different EQ's were fiddled for months with- if the song itself isn't simply GREAT, well recorded, well performed.

@diamondbayonet6710 4 месяца назад

The attraction of analogue gear IMO is the workflow and efficiency, no worrying about decision paralysis, more tacticle, no having to look at meters. I studied on SSLs and since starting to work on digital the work speed has been night and day, not in the good way so thats what I think attracts people to hardware/analogue.

@antonharmacinski276 5 месяцев назад

While I'm only a life long hobbyist, I've always been pro-technology regarding music. Programs like QBase and Cakewalk bringing the studio into our homes in the 90's, MIDI tying and syncing things together in the 80's, synths setting it off and setting the stage in the 70's. Tech is awesome for music. There are only so many frequencies within our hearing range. Using tech to keep those frequencies sounding fresh and new is why I feel we don't run out of music. Multi-effects pedal units and modelers, solid state amps, all making more options available at more affordable prices. There's a reason these things exist and continue to evolve. And it's all really come a loooooooooooooong way since the 90's. Digital recording really started before the and took over in the 70's. (I want to say Sony started it in the very late 60's, but I could be off on that. 90% sure it was Sony but 50% on the date.) That's why it's so fun to hear the vinyl nerds talk about how records are more pure and organic, then you point out the sticker or blurb on the back that states that it was digitally recorded and mastered, leaving the elitists speechless. I'm not against vinyl by any means, and I do enjoy the way they sound, but it really is fun to pop that elitist bubble by pointing out their almighty organic record actually contains a digital recording. If they were really nerds, they would have read that part along with every other printed word on the dust cover, spine, jackets, and liner notes. Just sayin'. For me all of that literature and art is the only reason to get a vinyl record. Def not for it's static prone "superior" sound. Once again, I like that sound, but I wouldn't call it superior by any means. But that's just my $0.02 ;)

@stratocaster539 9 месяцев назад

I got my setup down to gain stage,light compression in cubase, rolling off low end in cubase, then saturation with BB Tubes by waves. I will also parallel a track by smashing the compression and adding more saturation. You can add depth to a bass track by paralleling it with low pass just around 100k and blending the two. Each part takes on its own sonic characteristic and sits well in the mix with little adjustments. I mix on a pair of KVR Rockets 5" and I have finally started to get really vibrant tracks that translate well to other platforms.Also keeping your overall master level down to -6db. Turn up your monitor output so that it's fairly loud, this helps stopping overloading the overall level and master output of you track. If you try to mix a low monitor volume the tendency is to push the individual track volumes too hard.

Totally agree about the last point: the magic is in the songs, and just to prove it it is enough to see how many Nirvana b-tracks (and lot of other bands' ones) are enjoyable despite being recorded in a room or rehearsal space without any processing or mixing. Also, people nowadays listen and enjoy to lots of 8-bit remixes of many famous albums. If the art is there, it is going to transcend the mix quality.

I worked arround 16 Jears with smaller 2 Way Speakers in a not so good treated room. You can lern how your mix translates in a Car or on other speakers. Now I have a well treated Room and I found my big 3 Way Flush Mounted Speakers. Today I am happy with my mixes or masters 99% when I leave the studio and test them. I would say, if you compare the dollars you spend for a good treated room and vor a set of good speakers, you get more out of it than if you spend the money on other expensive stuf like microphones or analog compressors and stuff. Now am Working an other 9 years in my new Studio and as I sed, its worth it to have a well treated room and good speakers.

I hadn't really considered deeply the idea of knowing your monitors. I mean I've heard it said and just thought they meant how it reacts at certain frequencies compared to other things. I guess that's part of it but the other part is knowing how things sound through it. How music sounds through it. I guess I've been doing this inadvertently because I use my monitors for everything. Listening to music, playing video games, watching youtube, playing guitar, and creating music. I do know how things are supposed to sound on them because I do everything with them and I think it's helped my mixes without really thinking about why.

@billyhughes9776 9 месяцев назад

Great to see. I have been increasingly horrified at the myths that have become false truths over the last couple of decades. Everyone seems focused on the very things that guarantee poor outcomes. Gear will not get you there. Mixing is an Artform, it is never about technical things. You cannot simply apply formulas and expect Exciting. Mixing is about creating the illusion of the Story of the Song in the feelings of the listener - and that is never everyone. This is why experience is what matters. :-)

for me when i discover the slate vsx change the game forever! my mixes improve 1000% no acustic problems and my mixes sounds great in everything.. dont use my monitors for mixing since vsx come out! YOU CAN'T MIX WHAT YOU CAN'T HEAR

i learned the hardway having bad acoustics ruined my mixing decisions, i've invested in my room about 50-50 with the gear i use now, and i'm really happy, everything translates so well on all kinds of speakers. No need for shitty ns10s, i also love to listen to music, so having a pair of dynaudio bm15a is not expensive, not overpriced! also having 2 subs changed my life, now i can hear compressing low-end with no effort. I dunno how i feel about your debunks, my holy trinity is the monitoring, the sound-interface and room acoustics, the rest are details...

Oh man you got this, that's how it goes in real life mixing💯🎯

Isn't the other problem with high end monitors that most stuff sounds great? You're blown away how great your record will sound you go home, you put on your headphone and it... lacks a lot.

That’s on you for over-complicating the mixing part, as you did on drums for example. No one hears the processing and all the eq’s and saturation on the kick drum. You can achieve even better results with top-down mixing.

Room hack: books, books, lots of random books scattered randomly everywhere on random shelves. Also, an open clothing closet with random clothes.... Let the power of random be your friend... May not look Instagram tidy, but sure it works. The old adage about sausage manufacturing holds true... BTW, I Hate NS-10s!
