Out of all the videos out there on mixing I've found that Mixing with this Jerry dude to be the BEST explained. He explains everything in layman terms and makes it EXTREMELY easy to understand. All the other guys out there in these types of videos want to sound super smart by using all engineering terms, but when your starting out you have no idea what any of it means. So Well done Jerry. Thank you very much for posting these videos. HUGE help.

Thank you, Jerry for your help. Sometimes engineering takes a lot of practice. I’ve been doing this for over 40 years. Haven’t mastered until the last two years on reaper. Now I have studio one and wave. That work pretty well. As long as I’m doing the right thing.

Jerry: you are about as efficient a teacher as one could be, given the broad nature of your topic here. No wonder the comments people leave are glowing! Keep up the excellent work; you are so helpful to so many people, and your song examples with which you work are superior. God bless.

Thank you so much for this! I have never quite understood mastering that well and this just helped immensely! I have just followed this step by step with a track of mine and I have always struggled with getting the loudness right and this worked like a bomb for me! Super excited to release this!
