I love how this information isn't based on needing nothing more than automation and your ear. Thank you for showing me the importance of taking my time and using automation.

Wow! This is a true mixology tour-de-force. I'm not often on the edge of my seat waiting for YouTube videos to drop, but this one I totally was. I really appreciate Enrique's deep listening and insights, as well as the way he used the various tools at his disposal. It's given me lots of ideas and things to think about. This is easily one of the most useful series of educational videos I've seen. Three cheers for Enrique and the iZotope team!! 👍☺👍

This series is probably the best mix walkthrough tutorial I’ve seen!

Watching the process and more importantly the thought process behind the decisions is invaluable

I’m far to guilty about worrying about the ‘science’ I really took away how every decision made was about the emotion and the TRACK not about the ‘correct’ way to do things.

Also loved the mixing tips and creative ideas

Amazing series thanks so much for making these FREE! 🎉

[jeremyd]

It's insane how big of a difference there is between Enrique's mix vs the original. Excellent job!

When all started I thought the artist mix was ok, not great, but adequate. I was so wrong. Thanks for taking us along on your creative wizzardry, you magician.
