This channel is the bible of audio engineering

You can tell the amount of experience David has in videos like this, casually giving GOLD for 30 minutes straight

This isn't just teaching mixing, it's teaching good workflow and mindset. Essential.

[jamestarby]

Seriously, these are great. I’m disabled so I can’t get out anymore to get quality instruction from other engineers. I am now planning an all out binge watch. Thank you for posting these.

[yangjiyangji]

I love that you speak about unhearable short delays and reverbs. Yes These can not be reverse engineered.

Even if you feel like some top chart vocals are super dry, actually it would contain pleasing ambience when solo it. Every newbies should try out many subtle delays and ambiences on tracks. It makes huge difference in overall. This is one of the core element that decides the quality of record.

People don’t gain stage because they’re lazy, nothing I make musically is from anyone else’s sounds…..I make all original music so when I record I try going in at 0…..every single sound goes in gain staged……it definitely helps and even if it helps a little it all adds up to a lot in the end….btw I’ve been mixing, making and mastering music since 1998 but I have to tell you that your break down on compressor types really helped me a whole lot…..thank you for that.

"Don't look at your reference tracks." Raw brilliance and discipline.

[organix]

You’re so right about the mixing curve when you start learning instead of using your instincts. I’m slowly emerging from the bottom of the curve and it’s a big relief for you to talk about it. I’m not alone, phew

[TheDonzizi]

Thanks for another awesome video. One of the most painful experiences for a producer is when you upgrade plugins and hardware with thousands of dollars only to hear a mix you did five years ago and it sounds heavier, fuller, and just better. You start to question your choices in life!

[angelocherymusic]

Did 10 mixes of a simple (naked) hip hop track trying to get industry standard depth and image. The subtle delay and reverb reminder from this video did the trick.

[popcycles]

21:37 🪇💯 such a good point, move things around! ❤

[pianomusicondemand-zinomancuso]

Wonderful video plenty of real instructions. Too many uneducated wannabe mixer engineer videos on YT which have saturated the social media, and are honestly useless. Thanks for reminding everyone what is important. Chapeau 😊

[peterbondmusic]

You nailed it with your critique of some audio YouTubers advice. Being a good mixer and being a good YouTuber are different skills and the given YouTube personality may only be good at one of those. There are indeed a lot of YouTube mixer advice tropes that get recycled. I have a list I've compiled of bad YouTuber audio advice I've seen over the past couple of years... sometimes from very large channels and sometimes stunningly bad even on the most basic level. I like "never do anything unless you know *why* you are doing it..." wise words.

[louiewgroenewald]

Gainstaging is very important in any DAW. Since I've been doing it everything comes together easily and just sounds better.

O...I want to thank you for you videos and effort putting it out. It is fantastic and very thorough and educational.

[TheMixClub]

I been doing this for years. I always learn from you. You have rock solid advice. I think it hard for people to admit that someone just might be better than them. I bet you know every part of new gear that comes in your studio in side and out. I have friends like this and we talk shop every day. Stay Safe!

[clayfoster]

Piggybacking on #8 is I would get in a loudness war with my mix. First the bass would need to come up a touch, but that buried the guitar so it had to come up, but now the vocals are too quiet, rinse/repeat. When in reality all that needed to happen from the start was turning the kick drum DOWN just a touch and everything would have been fine.

[AntmanFelix]

Thank you for this video. I think you hit the nail on the head with many youtubers teaching or lack of good teaching. I am by no means a pro at mixing what so ever, but the mistakes and or things you brought out are some of things I have been trying to get better with. Loved your discussion regarding gain staging, I completely agree with that!

[TigroGumi]

The last one I kind of knew but was really woken to this one with the way you said it "everything **** then nothing is I knew this before sort of but was taking it more as a balancing act, now I just decide what is bright, what is warm instead of sharing out a percentage, so this advice taught me after knowing the common mistakes

[YVNGSHMIRV]

Excelente video, so many videos of many people mixing in so many ways and as beginners we confuse popularity with credibility🔥💯 This channel is golden 🏆🏆🏆
