Analog Mixing (SSL Console) GoPro POV - "Get Out Of Bed" by Magician's Nephew

I’m excited that this video has become so popular; this was just a quick GoPro test video, never intended to demonstrate a quality mix. I have much better mixing videos on my channel for anyone interested.

This is what it feels like to adjust the treble and bass on my car stereo

[@PrimitiveShowKH]

Ok

[@r1cefarm]

[@TheMa5terMau5]

hahahahahahaha good one

[@Groovvyyy]

Omg😂😂😂

[@jheppie5473]

Just needs more bass and treble until i blow my eardrums

[@mattthompson6090]

Damn Waves got so famous that they made the VSTs into real hardware

*I'm amazed after watching this* 😍😍 _JUST AMAZING_

[@pell7737]

although this just a quick mixing,but it still amazing! most people just click on DAWs, this video is the REAL ART!

[@kosterskov]

solo need sidechane out of voise// nice work

[@vigorkali237]

I still love it, you're the best

[@RicardoCapriles]

I don't care if you have better mixes. What I just see it´s completely amazing! Even with a month in my home studio I know that I'll don't be able to get the half of the quality of your quickly mix of the song! Congratulations Daniel! :)

[@MIZUch.]

This is how I feel putting 6 Soundgoodizers and cranking them up to the max in the master bus in FL Studio

[@CallMeJimmy0]

Literally every time when the band's late and you're left with 10 mins of soundcheck.

[@sevenwordsmusic]

Meanwhile in my ProTools: "hm, I think I need to listen to this at least 100 times more to be sure about this bus send..."

[@adksherm]

Literally me

[@Dante-qf9yd]

He mixed this so good, the mastering engineer is going to be confused.

[@freshproduce2170]

The ME shouldn't have to do extra work. Mastering should be minimal

[@SilentGloves]

@@freshproduce2170 As an ME, yes. I always tell my clients; I can make a good mix sound great, and a great mix sound amazing, but I can't make a bad mix sound good.

[@rutgerborg2187]

@@SilentGloves me as a live sound guy i say shit in is shit out haha

[@slcism]

@Thing Whas You get turd on your hands!

[@IScreamedWolf]

Silent Gloves I’ve definitely mastered some awful sounding mixes and I can’t agree more

[@Prod.by_v111bz]

And that kids is how you mix. Simple as that :D

[@erwickdsouza]

@* AnimalHeadSpirit * Hmm, I wouldn't compare learning to mix to mastering an instrument. I thing as I've gotten better, i learn to go by feel rather than purely cold technical decisions. It goes a long way!

[@kosycat1]

haahh pretty much =]

[@erwickdsouza]

@* AnimalHeadSpirit * Can't argue with that. Most "Mix Engineers" these days have a ton of plugins and other tools at their disposal to close the gap between themselves and proper Engineers. But the mixes I here from the latter have always sounded better to me, subjectivity be damned. And yes, I strongly agree that our Engineers deserve far more credit than what they get now.

[@massapower]

Exactly.. Leave it to the PROS !

[@TheBlashMusic]

There are far more capabilities in the box than on a console....So no, SSL mixing is not “how you mix” in 2019.

[@StannyObelisk]

Sick VST! Where can I get it?

[@rabid6767]

As a Live sound engineer I approve of the amazing skill you have good balancing and gain structure absolutely awesome effects

[@daverahman]

This was so great! Thanks for making this vid. After seeing nothing but plugins, it's great to see a mix on the actual equipment that everyone is modeling.

I'm an 18 year old student, I'm taking a stage production class and I've been FOH engineer for a play and a musical, my teacher is Mr. Tobe Bean. He's an awsome teacher. I hope to do what you do man. Keep up the amazing work!

[@onlygknows7793]

Me and I'm sure like so many others had no idea your teacher is Mr.Tobe Bean. I wish I had known this before i got into carpentry.

[@LegendaryMaoMao20]

Watching this again a year later and learning music theory, basic production and mastering for a few months, I realized that I need to train my ears a bit more and I'm starting to get there now, really awesome work👍✨

[@obviouslytwo4u]

The hardest thing about this job is you have to like every song you mix.

[@elliotalewel3163]

Great mixing! The recording engineer did a great job as well!

[@chassheppard]

This actually makes for an amazing music video.

[@danieldemayo6209]

Whatever you did to that vocal was 90s magic...

[@OfTheUSSEnterprise]

Best speed run of a VR mixing sim I’ve ever seen.

[@emerace9388]

This is amazing! looks like so much more fun than working in a DAW! A bevor and after comparison would also be great to see!

[@gameon2000]

This is a piece of art. And the engineer is an artist.

[@SeanLaMontagne]

I'm not knocking mixing in the Box call but the fluidity of reaching for a knob turning it until your ears feel good, has a pretty sweet payoff, it's quick, and it looks dope like in this video.

[@GlitchComputer]

I can literally watch this all day!

[@variousvirals9139]

Step 1: compress Step 2: slight eq Step 3: profit

[@pinemonster5614]

Everyone dream's: I want be rich or be actor *My dream* :

[@kenlien412]

Oh my... the sound of those plug-in are tremendous. Just like a magic show~

[@houstonluc3314]

Wow. This is so satisfying. Thanks for sharing.

[@808boy]

i really liked when he turned that one knob

[@felipecarlin8540]

When you hear your mom opening the door, and remember she told you to mix "Get out of bed".

[@CreateArtRecords]

Great Console Great Gear GREAT Work..intuitively

[@TheRealFunar]

Just found this video today. Man, I miss this stuff. It's been decades for me.

[@michaelgormleymusic]

Such a breath of fresh air, reminds me of watching Tom elmhirst on Mix with the masters. It’s like a performance. Great job

[@33AndAThirdRPM]

Not my brand of music to listen to but man the end product sounds superb. The lesson,... Great Console + Great Outboard Gear + Great Ears/Critical Listening + Great Technical Understanding Of Audio Engineering + Decisive Decision Making = Exceptional Sounding Pro Mixes,... there are NO shortcuts to excellence! I am very inspired by this mans videos,... and his studio, well c'mon,... it's pure Xanadu.

[@Lion-xe4pb]

I loved every second of this clip OMG analog is still the way of mixing :D

[@FentonWorksDE]

+1 But a CL5 is mutch lighter :P

[@joeboonmusic4004]

Tell that to the 1000s of engineers who mix in the box. Tchad Blake is one of the greats and he mixes almost entirely in the box nowadays.

[@undercrackers56]

Yup! And the hallmark of a genuine expert is that he/she makes difficult look so easy.

[@RobinApplewood]

Those Distressors on the OHs! Damn!!! Well done man

[@maysonstorm4956]

This is why I love mixing analog. It “feels” like you’re actually mixing and you’re having tons of fun doing it. I hate the fact that so people these days feel like this is an unnecessary skill to have. This is art that needs to be protected just like the rarest Rembrandt.

[@DanDuskin]

Thank you so much, Mayson Storm. I couldn't agree more.

[@rosco4659]

Amazing to watch.

[@triaHmar]

one of the most satisfying mixing rock video i've seen......

[@SWRMR]

Me, too!!

[@mattthompson6090]

This mans patch bay is so organised, its making me uncomfortable

[@yanukadeneth99]

I take almost a day to mix one song, and you mixed it in 8 mins. feelsbadman :3

[@emolatur]

I could watch this all day

[@erikg2515]

It just goes to show you how much work and talent is involved to do a professional mix. Keep it Analog.

[@retrobloo69]

that pultec flex

[@weenss]

bravo sir, this was quite the experience to watch. As an in-the-box producer and mixer myself it was so refreshing! the end result was amazing, and the difference between raw and mixed astonishing. subbed!

[@DanDuskin]

Thank You so much for the sub, weenss.

That's my life. I love mixing on analog console!!!

[@angeloboltinimusic]

Man, this looks like so much more fun than clicking around a DAW all day! Did you prepare in the computer before breaking out to the SSL?

[@DanDuskin]

A little bit of prep work, yes, but not as much as other songs.

[@maximebrochard1003]

@@DanDuskin maye just bus routing and levels from DAW to the SSL, am I right ? I did this too ...

[@bluetech7753]

boy this girl's really seems good who is she? she is rocking.

[@ColeRees]

It would take me about 2 hours to get a mix to sound this bomb. Such a fun mix!! Absolutely love your work.

[@QUDASCIENTISTTV]

I INSTANTLY learned a lot from watching this.. I still believe the best results come from mixing on a console. I INSTANTLY heard the stereo separation when panning hard left/right.

[@mvh2275]

Your a beast! Thanks for sharing

[@SanusSensus]

Probably not required for this song but routing FX returns into stereo pairs of channel strips on the console will give you far more dimension. You have some amazing stuff (AMS/Eventide/Lexicon) and it will allow far greater control of the tonality and dynamics of these units.

[@DanDuskin]

I would love to route the FX returns back on a stereo pair, that would be great! I think I need more channels ;) Thanks for the comment Stefan :)

[@afkaralp]

I had my phone in mono and it soinded stereo

[@e-moneyp5472]

I tell people all the time analog is the only way! 💪🏾👏🏾

[@DanDuskin]

So True. Thanks E-money P.

[@lemontree15]

So clean and organized, I get a frickin headache trying to organize the tabs in my daw... 😂

[@KevDKR666]

Nothing short of masterful. If you do tracking, I would to see your process. Harder to do it in a video like this but gaining up, dialing in a tone, patch play (probably not much experimenting left for you to do lol) beautiful set up. My dream wish list, right down to the cable ramps lol

[@vakaramusicdesignart]

This is brilliant! Classic mixing, just Eq, Compression, Reverb, Chorus … love it! Great song by the way :)

[@AnuragDixitMuzic]

Didn’t you notice all that ‘industry leading’ ‘outboard gear’?

[@derchefrealtrackrecords]

Good Job Daniel Duskin.

[@Brywellington]

That neve comp is punchy in this mix!

[@darkjoint4087]

Am a fan...Damnnnn what a setup!!

[@Swanlord05]

Analog is just the best.... I don't care what people say

[@soundmangaz]

That Ssl just looks like a joy to use, of course it helps if you've a couple of racks full of lovely comps, distressors, eq's etc to fire those sends/inserts into. Great work, love your setup too

[@nazkurugawa]

It's a pleasure to see you work sir... Thank you for the video.. I wish a have a setup like this.. Subscribed for sure..

[@leondego8445]

It must be a mix you already worked on..?cause you're fast and precise! Well done.

[@disectormusic]

I dont think so

[@Pak311]

I actually think this is his profession and he just knows whatsup ! :D

[@chasemormur]

He had all the mix presets on the compressor and time based outboard gear.. so yes it was pre-planned.

[@leondego8445]

I agree

[@pjdaprinz]

​@@bellamilano662 What gave me the impression that this was pre-worked on was the fact that no EQs were worked on. You typically record with no EQ.
