I love the internet and this generation. The information is just out there and you can really become anything you want if you're looking. Great points as always.

"Don't set levels based on a text book... set levels by your feelings, by your emotions." So true. Excellent piece of advice for any engineer in today's world.

So good! And I love how you can feel his passionate frustration with his students 😂😂😂

[BillWhite]

Thank you Dave. I can't come close to expressing how much appreciation for how much knowledge you convey in these videos, and how much I've grown from them.

I have always sworn by the rule of listening with your ears and not your eyes. Also good to hear that technique of leaving the room and getting diffrent persrpectives. Really helps with balance big time.

[JemileDancer]

so good ..i learn so much watching these videos ....we are lucky to have someone helping us like this

[ZergMazter]

God I just love how much brighter his mix sounds. Its a change from heaven to earth. At least thats my personal taste. And the delay on the guitar I also loved!

[LilAngelRebel]

As soon as the second mix played, I immediately thought, "Wow!" Subtle changes can make a night and day difference in a mix. (I've used the low volume and walking out of the room techniques for years, now. I lifted it from "The Mixing Engineer's Handbook", but I don't think I have the ear or the experience you do to really help me prevent the muddy mess my mixes always become.)

Thank you for this informative video! These tips will definitely be joining the post it notes that line my equipment.

I have watched this a handful of times in the morning before I mix. A legitimately priceless resource for me. Sincere thanks. Love The PLACE!!

Finally some clear and concise information. Favorite channel along these lines so far.

[xXxTHEBEATMAKERxXx]

You helped out so much, I love my mixes now and people love them too now from all the stuff i learned watching you. Thanks so much for your vids keep up the great work!

Very interesting to hear of an 'emotional' approach to Mixing as opposed to just being 'textbook' or 'theoretical'.

[ishagshafeeg]

Fantastic and quite smart! Thank you for your invaluable information.

[Deshcordon]

Thank you! I've been mixing for years and this one video changed the game for me.

[cristhianbedoya]

sometimes we just listen to many producers and many other people´s thoughts, but you feel and know when someone has been doing it right for quite a long time, thanks man right from COLOMBIA LATAM

I actually have to say that I enjoy the kick in the first draft more. I know it's muddier and less clear, but in a way it complements the relatively weak low end of that particular part of the song and the brightness of the guitars. Plus, it gives a slightly lo fi vibe to it that I enjoy. Either way, I understand the decision and, your mix concept is still awesome!

[tpthai]

My first thought even before listening is about Dave.
Dave sharing his passion and expertise with anyone that
cares to listen.   All good things to you Dave.  

[Spoolz]

Superb considered advice as always, Dave. I count my generation extremely fortunate that we can benefit from top-notch experience and insight like yours in this way.

[JaydotBeats]

[Drtyraver]

Thank you, Mr Pensado.
