The reason I tell other people to check out Bobby's channel is because his mixes actually sound good! You're straight to the point, no fancy pants bullshit. It is criminal that more people don't come here. But hey, maybe this can be our secret space

[@abunai.j]

Facts, man. I've learned so much from this channel. Bobby's a hero.

[@rocketproductions1441]

Isn't it weird when you pull up a channel and shit sounds whack when they hit play, but they seem to be saying legit information? Shows how easy it is to word salad these concepts without ever embodying the concepts through rigorous practice and experiment! Bobby is the man, he taught me so much about the "less is more" philosophy

[@justinreynolds3935]

I keep coming back to this channel because he doesn't push crazy gear or plug ins or whatever Dude is practical and always comes back to it's HOW to not Gear with mixing. Everyone can make a pro mix now on an interface that's 10-5 years old or newer. Does expensive crazy gear help. Maybe. Sometimes it makes it worse as people don't know what to do with it. Thanks again Bobby! Mid range is tricky and overlooked.

Here's the process on Saturdays; I go to my brothers to record, we watch whichever of your videos we need for what we're doing, follow the instructions and then the song sounds that much better. I feel like we owe you a credit on our next album! Thanks again.

[@FrightboxRecording]

I'm happy to have been a help!

[@Duskydog419]

Just added Stella Luna Album i love this sound! Takes me back you my middle school days

[@Blackstaffordstudios]

I asked for this review months ago and it’s finally here! Thanks for the straight forward informative video Bobby!

[@charlespowell9169]

Your shirt: "Silent Night Deadly Night." That movie has been a classic staple in my family for my whole life. It is the crowning moment of our Christmas every year. My mom passed that on to me, and I am passing it on to my kids and grand kids. Simply fantastic!

[@FrightboxRecording]

Just saw it in theaters a few weeks ago at Alamo Drafthouse...the movie never gets old!

[@michaeldouglas2634]

Great tip. What a difference. Going though your Heaving Mixing Unlocked and really learning a lot. Keep up the AWESOME work. Was going to say the snare sounds like someone is beating a box and then you EQed it what a difference.

[@leearmitage]

Good common sense advice as always, Poeta are a great band too

[@thesaguitarian9430]

Wow, I don't know if this is divine intervention but this content is Exactly what I need right now! Thanks for this!

[@Slugcoil]

Hey Bobby! Thanks for the video. The Magic Is In The Midrange!

[@carlwhittle2877]

Great advice as always, thank you for all you share man!

[@vincentdenali256]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@onemanband3579]

Good tips, great channel, subbed.

[@justinreynolds3935]

I would love to see a video about how to check phase with drums without using a alignment tool. I have a few buddies who bought an align plug in for like $200 and I told them you can check phase easily with a normal meter in like 2-3 mins. Tried explaining it and they are not comprehending what I am saying. lol. You can hear it and see it pretty easily. I also think a lot of newer people in mixing don't know what phase relationship even is and how it can make things sound terrible or small.

[@FrightboxRecording]

I've never checked phase with meters or any sort of alignment tool/plugin in my entire life. Just check it while tracking and you'll be good. The drum phase thing is way overblown online and it's something I hardly ever think about. If it sounds good, it IS good.

[@justinreynolds3935]

@ yea I agree. However a lot of people get really crazy over this. Also to get a 8-10 mics in phase 100% is almost impossible so I agree it is overblown. But to check it you don't need hundreds of dollars of plug ins. I've watched a guy mixing a rather big band locally spend almost an hr obsessed over phase on drums and guitar. I don't understand it. Btw great channel man. Love the content and I appreciate the truthful approach of know how vs gear mentality. I unfortunately went down the plug in and hardware rabbit hole only to realize it's not how this works. Although my distressor unit is never leaving my possession. lol. I even bought a bunch of 500 series pres just to sell them and go back to a presonus interface. So I appreciate where you are coming from. Thanks again!

[@FrightboxRecording]

@@justinreynolds3935 Anyone spending that much time obsessing over phase in the studio is wasting their time. I'm glad you're not falling victim to this!

[@justinreynolds3935]

@ yea this guy is kind of a jerk and thinks he's CLA or something. That was an hr someone paid for nothing. lol.

[@Durkhead]

Im one of those ppl that like to boost more than cut, but i understand that eq is like a scale I think it might be a good video to explain which freq you want to bring out on specific things like for example 200hz is where most snare ring is

[@codycreepcore]

The overheads to sound cleaner with those cuts, but do you ever find that you are missing some of the attack/punch of the crashes that exists in the midrange? I feel like that is a part of a cymbal sound that I have been wanting to bring back into my productions.

[@FrightboxRecording]

Never. There's usually too much 1-4Khz, so cutting it a few dB only helps.

[@EricHolderReedAmps]

Thankyou!!!

[@jnbovee]

That song kicks ass

[@FrightboxRecording]

Such a great band...check out more of their music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poqtZ6N_d5lnndksi=gKN44TijNrC49Dsc

[@VanClemons]

Another great video! Seems like you’re using the Sm57 a lot more these days. Do you prefer it over the Sm7 now?

[@FrightboxRecording]

I use both depending on whatever's on hand. They're pretty interchangeable as long as you use a windscreen with the SM57.

[@spiritual8flame]

Do you have a class?

[@davejohnsonmusic]

I'll throw another one out there... low pass your drum rooms around 8k or so. And if you use programmed drums, send less cymbals to at least one room channel, so you can smash it good.

[@rudyzee6427]

Am i tripping or didnt he used to do horror movie reviews?

[@FrightboxRecording]

I never have, but I definitely love watching channels that do!
