Thanks a lot Michael, I’ve been learning from your videos for 2 years now… This shows how much you can impact on the producers community!

[dksdmusic]

I started learning FL Studio from your videos Michael and now I’m landing $1000 gigs. Thank you so much man, you’re the best.

[jamesquinn]

I really appreciate people like you. The trick for volume matching the vocals is something I never thought of before. I was struggling to match volume levels in a track just last night lol so that alone is going to really help me. Thank you!

[agthaog]

as a longtime fan, i just wanna say im very appreciative of your tips, perspective and just overall experience that you offer. whenever i think of FL studio in particular u and busyworks always comes to mind

[talimeremusic]

The way you're able to explain all these concepts is just incredible. I've learned a ton of stuff from your videos, which I'm able to utilize in my music production and mixing.

[lushhh.raindrxp]

I watched your videos before I did sound engineering and I still do watch them. This is the best. I'm doing my Audio mastering this semester but I still never stop learning from your videos.

[guylindeman]

I just want to say that watching this video caused a HUGE lightbulb go off for a track I am working on... Ive been scratching my head about how to go about doing something and you finally gave me an idea on how to go about accomplishing that within my DAW... THANK YOU MAN I LOVE CHEERS

[niyonsv]

Thanks again for another helpful video as always, that multiple mastering output tip was significant, also liked that volume automation tip 😊

I totally agree with using Gullfoss, it's nothing short of a magic wand for an amateur like me, and a highly calibrated fine-tuning tool for a professional like you who are reading this.

Mixing Start To Finish Pt. 2 please Michael

[medievalflame]

It's so crazy. I've been a subscriber since 30k-50k subs and now he's on his way to 1 mil. Congrats

[lydloesulv]

concise as usual. i only make music as a little hobby for myself, but the advice you give in your vids is absolutely priceless. thanks for what you do.
fun fact, "gullfoss" translates to "golden waterfall"

[ricobonimusic]

I feel like this is exactely what I needed right now. Instant like before watching it for In the Mix💙

[polygraph.official]

Thank you, always simple and efficient advises.

[bobberino]

Dude, you played a massive roll in me starting music production about 4 years ago. I havent popped by the channel in a year or two but just wanted to say you look incredible, the content is still amazing and has only gotten better, and lastly you are such an important figure in the future of music production and I thank you endlessly for it. Keep up what you’re doing. I know the future of music would look a lot different if you weren’t around. You are a true blessing, Love from the states❤️❤️

[rojoratatatata]

Thank you so much, really appreciate your efforts!

[kumquat]

I love how you can see at 1:48 the different names and level of frustration for the mixes. I think we've all been there. 😅

[lokidraven]

Truly a blessing to the producing world, thank you!

[WighTShadoW]

You are such an amazing and wonderful person. Thank you so much.

[Swittch]

On the behalf of me and thousands of other people, i wanna say thank you ♥️ you taught us so many things, how to create sounds, how to mix sounds, how to master, how the only rule is creativity, and so so much more. Thank you very much 🌹 you explain things to me like i am dumb and i love it, most other channels expect you to know what they talkin about while they speed running the whole track, but not you, even if you explained something in an earlier video you explain it again in a newer video if its needed, and thank you for that ♥️
You literally are the best
