Thanks for the tips and the shout out 🤘

[Metaljonus]

Seriously you need more views and subs. You are really helping me with understanding the fundamentals of mixing and also are a sick guitarist! Much love!

[ViewFromBelow]

Thank you so much for critiquing my mix!! I appreciate the feedback 🤘🏻

[adamsharpmusic]

These all sound awesome! I've definitely been guilty of driving up the volume of the rhythm guitars in the mix before

[gianniskemenidis]

Hey Bobby, great advices as always . Thank you for listening to my mix and giving such a fast feedback. Looking forward to more of your videos

[CrushingAxes]

That's probably one of the most hard things to achieve in a heavy mix. Nice tips as always!

[joelharb]

you're such a nice dude - never mocking and give great tips :)

[phadrus]

Dude, I don’t know how you hone in on these specifics so accurately and quickly. I usually try to work out for myself what I think you will say as an exercise, and sometimes I nail a piece of it or I’m close and sometimes way off. When you give your analysis I listen back and it’s all of a sudden so clear that you’ve nailed it. Example, I heard the mix was muddy in the middle track but I figured it was freq masking and a lack of carving—then you said he had the guitars panned center and boom, it was so clear. I’m learning so much from these videos—more than listening to how-to mix videos alone. Just want to thank you and encourage you to continue this series! I really like the idea of heating a mix and trying to critique it myself before hearing your opinion. I recommend everyone try this.

This is by far the most helpful video series i've ever seen on music production. Thanks dude!

[lambdadotjoburg]

Awesome. I wish I knew about this channel earlier

Janice's Track - Take the lead guitar out

Keep the dark riffs but add dark shit to it

Alexi's Track - redo completely, a slow track is fine, but use dark riffs

Mr Jack's Track - slow down the tempo, pick a different riff, make it dark

[castleultra]

Can’t wait to share with you one of my upcoming tracks! I’ve improved like crazy because of your work! 🤘🏽

[raizoumisty]

Thanks Bobby! That thumbnail tho, looks badass.

[pastilance]

Bobby those series are awesome and really helpful! I might give it a try myself! Cheers!

[junkawakami]

yess, i've been fighting this issue all the time coz i've always trying to make the guitars at -20 RMS summed.

[jeffbridges]

I'm glad you are doing these videos man. One thing people using/programming drums should do...Don't have the velocity set to 127 on everything. Sounds unrealistic, espcially on blast beats. With a real drummer, the faster they go, the lighter they usually hit. But no human hits%100 hard %100 of the time

[backuuptracks]

Thanks a lot, Bobby, for sharing your extremely helpful mixing knowledge. Cheers!

[jorrickthole]

Again; this is a great series !!! Massive helpfull. Keep it going 🤘💀🤘

[joex-mnwe]

I'm going to need that Alexi band name fr. He did an amazing job at that mixing and the song is great.

[peterfredlund]

how do you duck down the rythm guitars for example? do you cut the part out and put it on a different track? :)
Great channel great video!
