[@Symeon-Shawn]

With work and life in general, you guys are one of the reasons I love Fridays and I can remember it is Friday XD , thank you for another great video!

[@wifimanboy]

can you please break down what each effect(compression, delay, reverb, etc)does and demonstrate how to use it? so many channels never actually explain what they are, when to use them and how to use them.

[@MakePopMusic]

YEP!!!

[@Kylemcculloughmusic]

Yeah please do as many of these as possible 🙌

[@Kevin-en5lm]

Id find a series like this really helpful. Especially since im new to this scene and i just do it for fun, ive had a hard time understanding EQ, mixing, mastering, etc. I like the stuff i make but dont know the more technical side of making it sound "professional."

[@minstinct280]

LOVE this new series bro! Great idea!

[@AlexDMast]

youve got to be kidding. literally just the other day i was wishing for a good vid on this subject. thanks so much Austin!

[@SamuelTelson]

This is what iam looking for. Thanks!

[@hearthesounds2023]

This video is so great, always appreciate these videos that help dig into the fundamentals! Such a big help!

[@lucasmartinez9364]

Thank you so much!!! I was hoping for a video like this on your channel, i believe its the best out there. PLEASE continue with these basics videos. Thanks again ❤

[@camarongibby2726]

Keep this series going homie!

[@MissVonDunajew]

yes for more of this! Great video!

[@aishiadatta]

Love these types of videos that dig into the basics! Would love to see more videos like this covering other fundamental aspects of mixing and mastering. Thanks for always making top notch content!

[@jomo493]

Austin thank you so much for all your help! If possible, can we get a video on guitar tones? Different amps, cabs, and pedals and what genres they work best in?

[@kim784]

I would love to see a specialized video on the FabFilter Pro Q3! I appreciate your videos man!

[@aishiadatta]

Me too!

[@huntertaylor4501]

You don't know how helpful this is! Thank you!

[@petrieberries]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@beatzbyhaystixx]

Thank you for always. This is the simplest mid-side eq explanation I've heard

[@deinioljames4272]

legit the goat

[@OldDirtyMors]

Acustica Audio EQs are they way to go

[@TheRealSandman]

I love getting into the details with things like this! I'd love to see how you EQ different vocal tracks. If you EQ the lead different to doubles, harmonies & BV's!

[@divemusick]

Plzzzz continue this series❤

[@vycashh]

masterclass

[@scrubbersteve]

Excellent, informative video. Definitely learned a few things I didn’t know about EQ, especially the mid/side info. Thanks Austin.

[@beatsbywheelidon]

Please do more in this series. I learnt so much

[@user-yh9qg8tt8w]

I love Make Pop Music so muchhhhhhh. I make afrobeats mostly but, applying the things learned here give me a sorta unique sound. I love it. Could you please make an updated Mastering tutorial?

[@nyah4081]

please continue this series

[@nelsonm_]

Such a good video Thank u! I like that u went over saturation / characteristics. I just wish u went over phase more

[@KaranRao9918]

Al videos need about different Compressors, Saturation, And Reverb & Delay, and all other tools use in whole mixing process. and also how to achieve loudness of track and how to use different limiters like waves, izotop, and FF L2 & etc.

[@nja8830]

awesome vid ! The same vid for compression and panning would be amazing

[@boogybass]

Nice, and very thorough! A compression video would be great! Then how about videos on adding reverb, delay, and gating?

[@keefergreen7467]

Man ! Could we see you eq a whole set of vocals … like how you eq the lead vs the doubles vs the harmonies and that low double octave thing you do Just be cool to see the whole picture of how you blend those Maybe a short idk ? Thanks man !! I have basically all the make pop music products and love it ! Keep killing it !

[@danodco]

Can you make a video on how to EQ vocals and rhythm guitar and explain phase with an example

[@DanBeatsKR]

This video is great, thanks you, I learned more about eq, but Austin please make video about compression and about how work with la-2a Universal audio edition plugin.Thanks you if you make that video on your channel.

[@bassbuzzmusic6681]

Great Austin could you make series on it about mixing all fx how and when we use

[@Theonly_SilentR]

Please cover compression reverb saturation and chorus

[@ronnigarner]

Hello and really cool youtube channel, I have followed you for a long time and you have taught me a lot. I've seen your video where you mix Adele, I've always wondered if you put plugins on each track, or if you use a bus to process all bg vocals. Do you have a video where you describe it. thanks from Ronni Garner Denmark

[@danielread6815]

can you do a tutorial on how to mix vocals on a nt1a its quite a harsh bright mic but most people have them

[@AfricanMusic24]

I like you man, wish to know what you know in Pop Music

[@iliravdyli4109]
