[jonathanmoellman]

Wow, that opening sequence... makes me dream! Great job as usual Colt! Regards from Canada.

[TheK]

thanks for sharing! it’s also great to use these techniques in EDM productions 👊🏻

[Circharles]

Thanks for the tip!! What a time saver “top to bottom” mixing. I tried it for the first time tonight and man i wish i knew this before lol. Thanks again 👍🏼!

Colt, most people aren’t aware of how the mono maker works. It can change your stereo image at the crossover frequency. It can be good or bad depending on what you’re going for. There are mono makers out there that don’t affect the phase as much or at all, Tokyo Dawn makes a really good one called Elliptical. Might be worth checking out!

This is gold! Thanks, Colt. Amazing that you're prepared to share your own techniques.

It was insanely helpful and educational videos like this that made me subscribe back when you had about 25, 000 followers.
Hands down some of the most useful and actionable content for mixing and mastering. Thank you!

Hey Colt, Its Jer from the old FB Live sessions. Glad you're killing on YT now!

[rapdup]

Colt, this video is a treasure trove of ideas and learning. It inspires me to explore new approaches I’d never even thought of. TY

Wow, dude. Your explanation for top down mixing finally made the methodology click for me. This was such a helpful guide and I absolutely got some helpful information out of it. I also really appreciated your explanation for what you're actually using your auratones for. I use that EQ trick all the time (and I have a pair of planar headphones that are also really good for this) but I've only ever used it just to check the feeling of the midrange. It makes a ton of sense to use that specifically to check the presence of the vocal in the mix. Thanks for what you do, I always learn a ton!

[lockhartzzz]

Aha! This was actually very helpful! I got a Neve MBT recently (my first outboard!) and seeing how you use it taught me a lot and now I'm getting a better sound. Thank you!

[SonVoMekongDeltaBluesman]

Love the snare drum sample reverb default you use. Love that you don't concern yourself about stage gain and letting your ears determine how you want the song to sound and feel. This specific video was a wealth of information. Thank you.

[nutellaontoast]

This is why we love you Colt! Awesome video as always :)

[mrelmoresmusiclab]

Crazy how many of these techniques I use. Great stuff. I’m loving Fabfilter Pro Q too.

[DavidDavis-FA-photog]

Damn Colt that sounds really good!!! Thanks for sharing this. Learned a lot!

[LuddeB]

The outboard gear REALLY made just what you said, from rough mix to polished!

[jstnfrzr]

That snare verb trick is so spicy. You usually have to pay for tips like that!

[HomeStudioWannabe]

Colt, this is really great. Thanks for this video. Please do more mix walkthroughs like this. And it would be cool to see how you typically handle other genres, too.

[liontribegc]

Super-Stellar intro!
So clean!! Mega depth!
…and stuff😂

Thank you Colt for helping us sound better and better!
