Bob's 5 things:

1 pitch
2 dynamics
3 timbre
4 articulation
5 level of activity

[MrTommySullivan]

Man, what a great engineer. Seriously articulate. Great ear.

Just watched 2 or 3 vids from this guy and i learned a lot from him. He explains clearly and with a lot of animations of the sounds he is describing, which helps a awful lot because this is youtube and we're listening on cheap sound systems and most of the time its hard to hear whats being done to the music. Bob realises this and adapts accordingly which is great way of imparting the Knowledge we are all trying to learn. He describes in detail how stuff (low, mids etc) build up in a mix over time better than anybody i've looked at.
Thanks

[Scarface_iii]

Best Mixing Class On Youtube I've Seen So Far

[Similee]

this was the best thing in the entire world. Number one thing. Trust your ear. I will never forget this in all my engineering days.

Love

I always mix better after watching a Bob Power video.

[aparimitus]

Bob is simply superb when he imparts his knowledge on sound structure in a musical whole. There are experts and there are master craftsmen... I will put him in later category...

It could be the kids on phones are just taking notes. The trick is to keep your own concentration and not be sidetracked by having to make judgement calls on everyone around you. Live and let live. Or mind your own business. I Couldn't find one interesting comment here that expands on this great presentation from Bob.

[IHMadeThis]

Dude was dropping gems from the start of the video.

[MOSHAEMUSIC]

So glad that you are mentioning checking for phase! I get projects from aspiring artists who need some mixing work & I run into this problem a lot. I use to accept stereo mixes but I can't anymore bc I have to bring out every trick in the book to fix the phase. So I always go with the splits & sometimes stems. Great video BTW!   

[MikeSpexTV]

He said this in another tutorial too but it’s one of the best take homes and always sticks wit me ,

“ can you hear everything?”

[treehann]

I love the way he articulates sounds with his mouth

[erikcebokli]

Man Bob Power is an analytical BEAST!!

[MikeHeebz]

Anything Bob Power shares is worth listening to & putting into practice to see if/how it can work for you. Thanks to Mr. Power for always sharing his knowledge. Anyone know of any other videos of Bob mixing an entire track? =)

[newmusic]

Thanks for this! Bob's a good teacher...delivery is on point.

As a previous poster commented and for those who don't know the song is

Olga Bell - "Rubbernecker"

[alexmathewmendoza]

This is remarkable. He's catching things by ear that I couldn't detect.

Hi from a musician/Violin/Pianist who for some reason built a 2 room Studio in the UK:) A very enjoyable video!
