One of my favorite mixing tips is taking a dry signal and pumping it through sizable speakers into a hallway or large room, walking around the space to find the sweet spots, throwing up mics, and recording for a verb/room track to go alongside the dry signal. Drums, guitars, vocals... it works on everything and really gives a unique timbre to the mix!

I loved the saturation tip! The one big thing I've learned this year is that many of the things that used to be considered 'wrong' are actually what makes the best songs sound right. If somebody would have told me a year ago that adding distortion to something that already sounds crystal clear and clean would make it sound better I would have thought they were nuts (despite the fact that I've been striving for distortion on my guitar since I was 15 :-) )

I discovered the De-ess trick just this year when I had a stereo drum part recorded on a Roland E-kit with a 16th note high-hat part that was just too harsh and overwhelming. Since it was a stereo mix I couldn't do anything to just the high hat, and tried all kinds of EQ, compression, anything I could think of. Eventually it dawned on me to try a de-esser and that did the trick perfectly!

Thank you for being so open about passing on knowledge to further the craft🙏🙏🙏

[AnitaPotterProductions]

I've used de-essers on harsh guitars, cymbals and overheads. Haven't tried saturation on room tracks. I'll have to try that one. Thanks!

Thank god that was the lesson in tip #2. I thought I had something wrong in my system at first! LOL!

Eric Stewart of 10cc often did his higher guitar solo's at half speed with great results. As did Les Paul of course. Some great info as always. Thanks.

Superb tips. I often have the snare played later and just use the reverb. Not samples, just get the drummer (sometimes me, not a drummer) to play the snare part, solo. Add splosh to taste and bingo!

Warren is an absolute master! Pulling off the wild hair cause he’s a true rockstar. I can’t believe the amount of creative wisdom that is up here for free; delivered by someone who makes you feel like you’re hanging out in the same room. I’ve learned so much over the years that I was inspired to start my own channel watching stuff like this! Thanks!

Sometimes I play my whole mix pitch shifted: a little bit - up or down, it shows me something that I missed in EQ, Balance or relationship between instruments, that I would otherwise missed because my brain adjusted to music after I heard it too many times.
I never saw anyone using this trick.

Saved my mix before the release....Thank you so much Warren...
btw im new to your community but I already feel so much connection with everyone here ❤

[GaryCraigStudios]

I like the side chain reverb on the snare. Excellent tip. It's the simple things that make the difference!

I have also written in volume automation on faster rap vocals in reduced speed, very nice result actually...

[colebanfillmusic]

These are my go to videos. You genuinely have made my mixes killer

[jordanshreds]

Thank you, as always, Warren! I enjoy different perspectives and new techniques to try!

Reverb trick is worth the price of admission. Thank you Warren via Andy Wallace.

The Beatles recorded the keyboard solo to "In My Life" at half speed. Wonder what key command their DAW used... ;)
