Coldplay Mixer Michael Brauer on Starting a New Mix

[christianmartinez]

Best video on mixing i've seen in a while. Emotions affect the mental. Mental affects the physical. Physical pushes the mix. Well done Waves. Well done Michael Brauer, sir.

I love this guy. Really do. He, CLA, TLA, Bob Clearmountain are just the best.

This is the best mixing advice I've ever heard... and I've heard a lot from interviews with the greats. The best part that most mixers don't fully clarify is going with pure feeling first and revisit the mix later for the thinking part where you become your own worst critic. Fix any details that are off in the thinking part, not the feeling part.

Probably the best video from waves so far!! :) Really good stuff!! :) Thanks!

This guy has the right attitude. Overproduction is a smog stopping music from breathing, and it's everywhere I listen, plastic music. This guy seems like he knows how to let a song sing.

[StuEvans]

Thanks for the video. I could not agree more. Emotional guy. It's the only way to mix

[Carefaceeeee]

Im not a mixer but this kind of mentality and view on things is what i would go for.

[adityabhatt]

legend of a guy he is omg !!! just changed my whole perspective on mixing as a whole !! thanks so much for this and inspiring me !!!

[jasonodea]

Very similar attitude to how I mix. My spirit really guides me, and a lot of that is searching, moving, feeling around, experimenting. There is thinking, yes, but that is usually when I have to fix a problem more logically because it is getting in the way of where my heart wants to go.

[Metranomik]

Really good perspective on the process. I am still a novice mixer, only been learning for about 6 years and I have a long way to go, but it's nice to have someone with real experience give validity to my own methods:)

[NeerajSharma-xohd]

I was lost in your explaination. I understood every bit of what you said! ❤ Such a philosophical mixer he is! :)

[ActualKaktus]

How to mix with your gut (and with feeling). Awesome.

[rickdeaguiar-musicreflecti]

Wow! Great advice and insight. Impressive :)

[Hassan_Omer]

Very Cool approach and thanks for sharing it!

[AmrutKatigar]

i am so thankfu; to you that u shared this valuable info.

[martinjohnbutler]

I so love the thinking Michael Brauer takes toward the song. Making the emotional content the prime ingredient, is a brilliant way to approach mixing. I try to do this myself, but I'm not always successful. I'd love to work with someone like him. I've been doing it all myself for too long now.

Muy buen enfoque, el lado humano de la mezcla

[alienrefugee]

Just 3 hours to mix a song? Wow. I'll spend 3 hours on the kick and bass. Lol

Edit: I guess I forgot to add the /s, as I was exaggerating a bit, but I appreciate the thoughtful responses.

Imagine Michael Brauer is mixing your song, and you don't even bother to show up :|

[Whanworld]

Not an engineer. But I think the EXACT same way when I am forced to mix a song! One of the greats think the same way as some of us do!
