Sara is awesome. Her channel is definitely something to support.

[acmeyakko]

I've only watched a couple of Sara's videos but I'll be looking forward to them in the future. They're so practically applicable when so many videos are entertaining but ultimately don't help.

[ShiningHourPop]

Sara makes great videos. She always explains her process in a simple and straightforward way.

[G-Doggy]

I like how Sara explained the reasoning for her automation moves in her examples. I found that most interesting. Thanks!

[melvincoleman]

I love how you are passionate about the listener. Because in music you are sharing a message or story.

[johnmichaelmacdonald]

This is soooo good. I really enjoyed how everything was presented and reviewed at the end. Sara has a great way of explaining and I will definitely check out some of her courses.

[MulaMusic]

Took me a while to get round to this one, but well worth it! Thank you, Sara. 😎

[dwaynejessome]

This was a great episode. Some very helpful insight

[fivebyfivesound]

I mostly use automation to designate and maintain focal points, create energetic shifts and widen/narrow the stereo field. But after this video I have several more ideas, including automating some effects sends and side chains to manipulate sense of depth and height. Super helpful having concepts so clearly illustrated. Thank you!

I feel like I’m in a secret club of a few hundred mixer/engineer folks who know how great Sara Carter’s videos are. Every single one I’ve digested has helped my mixing/perspective on mixing and production. Grateful 🙏🏽

[patkelly]

I enjoyed Sara's Tip #5 explanation especially.

[burtonrider]

Refreshing fundamentals that I do not really see in the loads of tips & tricks videos out there.

Defintely will use these techniques going forward! Thank you! 😊

[iamkxtv]

Gained some great new perspective here! This really highlighted for me the creative aspects of mixing as opposed to the largely analytical approach.

After all of the great advice pertaining to the process, which is equally important, as a writer first, I now see how mixing can be just as fun. This also solved a lot of issues I’m having with a few of my current mixes. Wealth of information here.

Thank you 💯🙏🏿

[aaroncampmusic]

I love Sara's videos! And don't think I didn't see those kitty ears! They are important to mixing!

[piratephilnitch]

Where can I hear the whole song Volkswagen Blondes? The guitar solo is BRILLIANT, reminiscent of the Eagles. Beautiful song, incredible production! Cheers Sara!

[Killadey]

Your voice reminds me of someone I've heard on TV but can't think of who and it's driving me mad. Either way I love your voice and accent.

[andreirlmeier]

funny I drive a 23 years old Volkswagen ...Sarah you're the best !! And it drives and drives and drives and

[MOSMASTERING]

These are all excellent good practice functions that everyone can incorporate into a mix to add some interest.

When it comes to EDM, everything needs like it needs to be upfront and in your face all the time. Are there any tips to keep things interesting without adding more layers or complexity?

[synkrotron]

pretty much what I do now, even with my boring crappy ambient stuff

[jbstrummer]

what about using the latch function in protools?
