"eliminates differed decision making...painting as you go...dont leave an open book" great advice!

[arboraudio]

This truly was a masterclass. Many throw that term around loosely, but this is 90 minutes of cracking open Jacquire's thought process. He identifies the things he wants to accentuate and fix, and exactly how he does it. It's one thing to know *what* people are doing to achieve great mixes, but so rare to have someone so eloquently articulate *why* they made the decisions they made. This was time well spent. Thank you, @sonicscoop and Jacquire.

Regarding printing to tape certain sounds: I totally agree. All we have to do is imagine someone like Robert Fripp, or Jimi Hendrix saying “no, let’s add the effects postproduction“. Not only does it make zero sense musically, the emotional life would be nonexistent. After all… What is music, without a transmission of feeling? You just can’t manufacture that in postproduction. Loved this video.

Anything Jacquire King does is just pure perfection man. This guy is my hero.

Jacquire has so much knowledge. This is a great mixing class. I've watched it twice now.

i LOVE the idea of that space echo effect _going in._ that's like letting the actor hear the soundtrack as he's coming to a key scene, just to see what it inspires in him, as opposed to how it is done, where the actor is blind, acting out black and white words from a script, having the music added later.
i love that.

Always to the point. I hope to see more content from Jacquire.

[slugtoenail]

What a great understanding and ability to clearly communicate his mixing philosophies he has. Great video!!

[CarlyonProduction]

Such a likeable dude. Lots of great philosophical stuff here, he’s well considered and thoughtful

[CamilleDevance]

So helpful! Thanks a lot for that masterclass 🙏🙏🙏

[LeonardoLima-nkfv]

This one is amazing, already watched and came back to remember some observations about the mixbuss processing. Thanks!

[AudioMasterRTrib]

This information is brilliant. I completely understand this concept of painting a picture as you print. I give this post a five star. Thank you Jacquire King for taking the time to share your style and personality to the world!

[stevebeye]

Wow. Jacquire, love this. You taught me so much! Thank you! Your philosophy is already burned into my mind. Aces!

[davidcamarda]

Listening. That is what I have been doing wrong. Listening to the song. Listening to the individual elements. I've been blasting through mixes just to get to the finish line, and not really happy after hours of work, wondering why it isn't working. I discovered a few great techniques here, but more than that, it's what I have NOT been doing.. Thanks you for sharing the knowledge Jacquire, truly inspiring.

[johnnyvegas]

What a great guy, it was a pleasure listening to him...thanks SScoop

[RTCLR]

Thank you for your time and energy Jacquire!

[beckerzineo]

Lol didn't expect to see someone like him using the Infected Mushroom plugin on a mix like that, that's dope

[BryanWisda]

Jacquire and SonicScoop, Thanks for posting this. I have fallen in love with LUNA and am switching almost all my projects over from ProTools. This is a great video to give some context to how to use LUNA uniquely from the perspective from someone who knows a lot more than I do about mixing.

[LoopJohnB]

Incredibly interesty ! Thanks Jacquire, UA, SonicScoop !!

[shinecurious]

Thank you Jaquire, you have become one of the most eloquent mixers out there, content and context well balanced!
