It would be impossible to say enough good things about this channel and your instructions. So grateful for this channel!,

[@cleverdood]

Right on, I usually listen to videos like this in my studio, but I’m watching it on my phone and you can hear how much better it sounds with those two simple things added.

[@nyfammusic]

Listen. This was incredible. A real eye opener. Thank you for your time and your professionalism. The little things make a huge difference. I watched 2 other videos on top down mixing. Your video is a game changer. I watch first and always double back and apply what I learned I appreciate you. !!

[@rafaadrummond]

I'm trying to adapt the things in this video to mixing electronic music and even though these are completely different genres, it's been a huge help! Your explanations and instructions are very clear and easy to understand. The small tweaks make a huge difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to make all these videos!

[@iangriffith2215]

I was lost but now I'm found. Only on step 2 and everything already sounds pretty good. Thank you!

[@techtor_rave]

Thank you so much! I finally figured out where to start making a mix. Using your instructions I was able to mix a track from scratch 4 hours to make it sound clean and juicy!

[@TheBandGuide]

THAT is what I like to hear! May all your mixes be clean and juicy 🍻

[@RachelBarrentineOfficial]

I've been wondering about glue compression, but no idea where to start. Thanks for these videos! I'm going to go through all of them!

[@RobertoMusicHelp]

Awesome course! Thanks for your generosity!!! The way I've been mixing for years is: 1. slapping EQ and COMP on every track, 2. Using and tweaking the presets for each instrument 3. Compressing each instrument to -3db THEN finding equal levels 4. Slapping the Multipress and a limiter on the Master which has its own monitors. Although this process has not failed me yet, I'm always down to learning more streamlined and efficient ways to do things. And what's even better - and MUCH appreciated - is that you didn't try to sell me ANOTHER G*D D*M PLUGIN!!! Ha!

[@Jime0326]

This video series on mixing in Logic is very helpful and applicable. My mixes were trash, now they sound professional. Thank you for making these videos. Blessings, contentment, joy, love, peace, rest, and strength to you and yours!

[@Matthe.w]

Just out of curiosity, do you have any before/after examples?

[@FiyahB8959]

I have watch many many videos of other people but your process I love your first 2 parts of your process is a game changer it helps so much I can’t explain I was getting a bit of static in my mastered track step 1 took care of that and this step gave the track life it pops out a lot more Thanks you man this helps a lot of self taught musicians we appreciate you keep them coming

[@matthewmoriarty5775]

Love this channel. You have helped me so much already. The real deal. Highly recommend. If anyone comes across your channel - they are in good hands.

[@dgazart]

Great Stuff. This is so easy to follow along with, Thanks for making the video.

[@shazmirshahi]

You have answered so many of my questions I've learned so much Just from your hands on by far the best tutorial I've ever seen and heard

[@REDOPTICALCORP]

Man I wish I watched this before I made any of my music!! This is so important!!

[@TheBandGuide]

I'm glad it was helpful! Better late than never!

[@REDOPTICALCORP]

@@TheBandGuide seriously!! im playing the garageband songs (without knowledge) and the logic pro (with your tutorials) and it's a world of difference!!!

[@AndreA-rc2ot]

Thanks man this is top quality content!

[@fizzle.101]

can't thank you enough for everything

[@nolet99]

Thank you Colin. I'm in the game having fun only as a hobbyist really, and I very much appreciate you for releasing your free 5 part Mixing Fundamentals Mini-Course. Not to be too corny, on my part, but these valuable tips I can say are analogous to bus compression gluing together what I've learnt so far - in this case the mix bus is my brain 🙂 Pulling up something that was already sounding decent (to me), and after applying some (all) of your tips, just like magic - remarkable improvement, and I still have 5-6 db headroom for whatever I'm going to do next!! You're right - less is more. Thanks.

[@neilgrainey]

Sooo helpful. Thank you so much!

[@elharrop]

I actually understood pretty much everything you were talking about apart from when you were talking about attack time. I hardly ever understand anything technical, I'm usually lost within seconds whenever I try and learn anything about mixing as there is just too many buttons to press and nobs to twist and it's impossible to remember such dry information let alone implement it. Thank you for simplifying!

[@ylletmusic]

Thank you so much for these videos! Much appreciated! Greetings from Sweden 😊

[@davidechavarria387]

THANK YOU SO MUCH MASTER! FOR ALL THIS KNOWKLEDGE!

[@lemondanthony]

I'd watched Step 1 and I'm just into Step 2, half way into the video. The best of all on the process of mixing. I can't wait to view the others. My advice, listen on some flat headphones if possible.

[@NateBreidenbaugh-gg7fs]

The mix I'm working on already sounds better. Thank you!

[@11thBlockParty]

You're saving lives!

[@FUN_RECORDING]

Thank you so much Colin, This is a very fine way to learn more about the mixing proces. Especially the compressor is a hard topic. Very clear way. I subscribed directly your channel. greetings from Marco (The Netherlands)

[@biekanez1]

Great video, I hope to learn a lot from you. Greetings from the Netherlands, Rob😎👍

[@TheBandGuide]

Glad to hear it, Rob!

[@randyschmuki3173]

Just getting back into logic and am amazed at some improvements over logic 8! Thanks for the help!

[@johnnysanders2478]

Thanks my man I show did learn sum more again!

[@demetriuspatterson9396]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@musiclearner8634]

This is so helpful. Thank you so much Colin 🙏🏻

[@MisaelCerilo]

Great!

[@chucksaeger7500]

Excellent! This is the best stuff!

[@guitardo100]

this coincides perfectly with my class. spot on thus far

[@TheBandGuide]

Nice!

[@garudasomanna]

Another good and informative video Colin! Thanks. I have two queries related to your background...Is that colourful guitar something new and is this the first video in which I am seeing it? What is the speciality of the clock in the background? Does it have any sentimental value attached? Love you Colin.

[@raimolaine]

Thanks for introducing this easy saturation knob. It can save you a lot of work and time I guess.

[@TheBandGuide]

Yeah it's very helpful!

[@LA610]

I like the chorus....it is catchy and I can sing it after hearing it for the first time (the hook)

[@TheBandGuide]

Thank you! This is one of the first songs we ever wrote and we've been considering rereleasing it...

[@fizzle.101]

on another topic please drop that song frfr

[@lucascarscadden5834]

One thing that was giving me a lot of heartburn recently was that when I bounced my static mix, it would come out significantly louder than the song. It turned out that was because the normalize feature was turned on on the bounce window. I don't know if that's the default or I accidentally turned it on sometime, but it was driving me nuts until I figured it out.

[@Matthe.w]

Is there anything new I picked up from this video? Everything :D

[@gbigbo_zjebeezjeboo]

Great !

[@TheBandGuide]

You're welcome!

[@chucksaeger7500]

Would all of these steps apply to backing tracks as well?

[@guitarwalljams]

At this stage of my mix I see and hear a lot of low mids making it sound muddy. Do I use the same approach but cut the low’s subtlety?

[@renakmans3521]

What does dithering do??

[@keviethedesigner]

So what do you suggest? I bounce my midi regions before I mix like this, or does it really matter?

[@Ambrosetale]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bigeddie1669]

Hey, great video as always BAND GUIDE COLIN!👏 At the end there you said this is a great way to add volume and clarity: “ before we even do anything on our individual channels.” THAT THREW ME OFF HARD. 😂 I’m wondering what you’d have left to do on individual channels you’ve already processed everything on the master bus/tube bus? Thanks so much! Your wisdom in this area is invaluable to my life❤️🥹

[@TheBandGuide]

Thanks, Eddie! Stick around for the upcoming videos and you'll see! Basically just cleaning things up with EQ, using compression to shape the dynamics, and effects to give a space around everything
