This is the best advice I've heard anyone give on YT... all distilled down into 5 minutes. An added benefit that comes along with of this type of thinking that should be emphasized is that you are focusing on client you "really" want to work with, music you "really" enjoy. Kudos!

This is the best summary and synthesis in 5 minutes, about this topic, on YT

Outside of my day job, I don't really get much freelance work at the moment, but the work I do get is for bands that I'm genuinely interested in making them sound good. It's a nice position to be in when you've established a solid business relationship with a repeat client, who trusts that you're working in their best interests to make them sound as best as possible, and they can see that from your previous track record working with them.

Theres a lot of "advice" floating around for budding mixing engineers but this is by far the most important I've come across so far. Your other content is also VERY granular and demonstrative, which is something that I massively respect and appreciate! I wish you were around when i was just starting out haha! You have earned yourself a sub!

Dude, it is so cool that you mixed Atomic Mind and Remarkably Human.. I've been listening to those albums daily for years, and it wasn't until this year that I found out YOU mixed that sh**.

I've been following you for a few years and it all makes sense now 😂

This is an excellent advice ! It feels so refreshing seeing you Jordan (and many other people below) validating this. As a matter of fact, my own experience speak for itself in that regard: I don't advertise at all on social media that I can mix for people other than my own band, I don't even have a website currently (work in progress)... And yet, I got 3 paid projects to mix this year so far : I got 2 of them because I expressed a great interest in their project, and I got the 3rd one from a friend recommending me to the band. Either way : having sincere and positive connections with other artists is a must-have, I discovered that first hand. Hands down some of your best advices Jordan ! Cheers from France !

The timing of this video is fantastic! Thanks dude, actually so true and definitely going to aim for more rejections

[BigTimmy]

Best audio engineering content on YouTube. Thanks!

I'm currently trying to build up my studio projects before I draft to the army, and this is really helpful!

[toolateformediocrity]

Awesome, practical tips! Really helpful but at the same time on point and entertaining.

[gisellechacon]

Thanks Jordan, this is great advice. When I evaluate my own methods, I see success where I have done this well, and failure when I haven't. Great channel, and as always I appreciate your advice!

Hello sir i love your videos and thank you so much for all the great advice you give all of us!!! I was wondering if youll ever do a deep dive into the future of Atmos mixing and mastering and where the industry is going in terms of Atmos?

[chetsenior]

Yeah, I once tried running a magnet over some clients. I think it weirded them out for some reason.

[bprice]

Hey Jordan do you have or are you planning on putting out a mix template?

[mitchellmantell]

What would be the line where you stop doing that?? Say if a band hasn’t accepted a recording in 5 years is it obviously a tactic that’s not working? Would there be something better to try in that situation?

[moritzmaier.studio]

This sounds very interesting to me, does anyone know of more info on this tactic? Maybe even a step-by-step guide (paid or free)?

[mikesperling]

How do you always know what i need to know? 😅

[battmanvonrichtoven]

These concepts are fantastic. I do have a question though. Would you advise using practice mixes for your portfolio until you have built up some client mixes. If you haven’t had clients the portfolio will be pretty small. I have had one project recording a jazz band live, 5 songs. Then I have my own personal projects. Then 30-40 practice mixes. Would consider those something I could use?
