Two things I forgot to say:
1 - REVERB is also a fundamental aspect of getting such a sound.

Anyways, thanks for the tutorial man, always helpful.

[Dragens]

dude. I must say. I watch you since you started in your room with the bed behind you. I was learning from you and I was watching your way. I heared you when you talked about not listen to people that are trying to tell you that you shouldn't try. I am thankful for all of that. You are a good man. Thank you for all the support you give us.

Orchestration is and always will be the key to a good sound.

[artixsmusic]

Wow, this tutorial SERIOUSLY helped me improve my own mix on a certain track I was struggling with. It still sounds slightly narrow, but much wider and less muddy than before. Great tutorial dude, I will def be coming back to watch more!

As always, tnx for the support and the video. Haven't really got into mixing yet, but great tips to share. Couldn't be thankful enough :)

Alex would make the perfect mom: because just like him, mine always says we'll be in and right out the mall before spending hours.xD

💛🙏

[GabrielPerez-xoui]

Thanks man, very useful video, I'm going to watch your other ones :D

[eugenedesmusic]

Alex, please make next tut about Mastering in Ozone. I believe many of us are using it. I just bought my elements version :)

[J-A-Music]

That's what I waited for, thanks man!

[flyme-zb]

Hello Alex: I get so much out of your videos. Thank you once again. I came back to this video and some others today because I am quite sure that in one of your videos you demonstrated a plugin that could scan all of your midi tracks and reveal notes of the same pitch and in the same location (but on a different track) that might be competing for EQ space. This might contribute to making an orchestral arrangement muddy. It made great sense when I heard it but I wish I had written down the name of the plugin. If it was in fact you who showed this please let us know the name if you would as I can't find anything like this in my searches. Thanks again and keep up the great work you do.

[BenThatcherMusic]

Cheers for making this video Alex, :) have a good weekend dude
