1 - Invest on music knowledge over buying expensive equipments 2 - Record until you get the best takes, don't be in a mindset of fixing it in the mix 3 - Get experience and happy clients over money in your initial phase

Highly recommend buying a cookbook or finding recipes thats easy to copy and write down, and also to make multiple meals (like 2-3 meals back to back) and freezing them, saves so much time

Great video Roelof! So true! Shout-out to the PPS community!

[@HarleyBob957]

Wisdom..Wisdom..Wisdom.. Great advice..

Great info! Luv the painter/painting reference! I retired 3 years ago from painters local 781 & have been completely consumed by learning as much as possible about the art of mixing/production from a journey that started 40 years ago! It’s about the guy NOT the gear. I’ve learned more in the past 3 years than probably the 10/15 years before that! From watching guys like U on channels like this, give great tips & tutorials on how it’s done!! Thanks! For info!! HCMS🤘🏻👍🏻🤘🏻

[@guitarplayer5932]

took me a while to figure out the cleanest mix is with nothing recorded as soon as you add tracks you start the muddying up process, you dont need tons of sounds, tracks, sometimes less is better, focus on melody

[@JelloPoops]

Can you explain that again? I'm not able to follow what you're getting at

[@brajoco219]

Excellent advice.... thank you, cheers Brad 🤓

[@mitchellp6289]

Yep! this guy will work! Nice to meet ya

[@RoelofKlop]

Likewise!

I could see offering a band who has a solid 10-12 song set, a free 3-song recording session. If they like the end result enough, they'll pay good money to record the rest of the songs. I'd do that if the band's material and performances were good enough to bolster my portfolio. If I were a budding engineer, that is. The music isn't going to write itself. A good band with good songs is worth it's weight in gold if you can tag them to your studio, even if they're unknowns.

[@robgracia509]

thank you great information and great advice

4. Amateurs ruin well recorded tracks with too much processing.

[@taylorvolleberg]

I've definitely learned over the years that you can get incredible mixes with just stock plug ins and basic gear. The songs right themselves and in turn a good song mixes itself.

Thanks Roelof, really clarifies what matters!

[@BoldSound-f2f]

You always saying on this channel about mixing template. Can you show the tamplate of Jordan? I was interested in this but cannot find template in the dvd Jordan talks abount in one of his videos. PLEAS!E SIR!

[@BoldSound-f2f]

also: eq. How enyone eq: boost 8k by 0.5db. How CLA eq: ckanking the shit out of eq and slowly bringing this back to where it feels best

[@RoelofKlop]

Very true. Overprocessing is a problem that someone else mentioned in the comments, but more often than not underprocessing is an even bigger problem

[@blackeyed.]

there is a forth thing all KZbin engineers get wrong. Taking too much on three simple subjects. Have respect for peoples lifetime.

[@greghillmusic]

Fourth* You must be a drummer.

[@blackeyed.]

@@greghillmusic must be? you must be used of tuning vocals which do not need it and compress everything into oblivion ;)

[@greghillmusic]

@@blackeyed. Yes

[@ALLforROME]

I can't cook either bud..shrugs

[@madlopherliy]

My skills kill overpowere every gear 😂

[@Biffinnbridge]

What a waste of KZbin. Never gonna get that time back.

[@RestLer-]

Gear always better then my skills😅

[@969typO]

I bet I can teach you to cook without stress.

[@GuitarWithBrett]

I like Tim Walz more , Shapiros voice sounds like Obama impersonation and seems he’s got some dirt will come out. Walz seems super normal and nice down to earth
