"Where Musicians We Don't Schedule Jack" when you say stuff like that it makes us feel more important! We need you Graham! 💪💪👍👍👍👍👍

[@jesseniebolt]

You just helped me put together how much editing&mixing at the same time has completely slowed down my process. Thanks!

[@thepatentofficellc8121]

Its funny you say this is how the pro's do it. You are a pro Graham. Your advice is spot on. You have to think ergonomically and economically in practical terms, physiological terms, and technical terms when it comes to this. Respect the hierarchy and topology of mixing. Do your edits first! The busy, leg work. This will be the most taxing on you. Get it out the way and then you have liberty to commit your thoughts to the creative. Archive and organize your session in stages. Pretend it's going out to different people at different stages during the process. Time management is key! You will get frustrated trying to cram a mix in too short a period of time. You will get distracted (or hyper-focused) and make erroneous decisions in duress. Give yourself time or have a strategy for whatever it is you want to do with he time you have. Time spent mixing and time spent not mixing are equally important. Personally I like to do things in this order: 1) do my edits 2)do my gain staging 3)static mix 4)top down architecture 5)effects/magic. I had to adapt my workflow after I had my first child. Necessity is the mother of invention, or common sense!

I love this channel, I've learned so much over the past couple months after discovering it. ❤️

[@actualchrisreid]

Yeah, Graham explains things really good. He makes confusing topics make sense. Great teacher!

[@iqi616]

3:41 Another plus is you can do editing when you're feeling uninspired or only have small chunks of time. It keeps the project moving forward.

Just learned my mixes are actually very close to flawless & it’s my car system that’s trash 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@richardsteffens6159]

Oof! I feel that pain.

[@trevorwood2118]

Hmm.. but you've still gotta do your best to get your mixes to somehow accomodate for trash sound systems but stay just as flawless everywhere else too ;) That's the tricky part for sure.

[@TiryqThomas]

🤣🤣🤣

@@trevorwood2118 dam bro! That’s the truth. U never lied.

[@nickjongejan1428]

REALLY love your videos! Just started a KZbin Channel because you inspired me to make some content on my own! And i LOVE doing it! So thank you for inspiring me ❤.

[@Str8SlapRec]

I actually just watched a couple of your vids. Keep up the good footage.

[@slavesforging5361]

Great video Graham. it took me a couple years to figure out most of this process, but i think having a dedicated hourly schedule will help me out a lot, now that i have a basic gist of how i mix, and what i'm doing. best tips ever!

[@madaluther1943]

Good timing on this video! Currently mixing 3 songs for my churches pre-recorded service on Sunday

[@MattRockett]

Did the same last night and today. Let me know how it's going.

[@madaluther1943]

@@MattRockett Took me about a 1.5 days of working on and off

[@herealbutler]

Thanks bro, what stood out to me in this video is when u talked about save as & keeping the original, best advice I ever heard.

[@davejohnsonmusic]

I find myself updating my mix template every few months or so. In regards to color coding tracks, you should already have those set in your mix template. You really only need to add color coding to a track that you've added to your session that wasn't in your template. Awesome tips man!

[@mikeroberts5724]

Great videos man...just stumbled apon your channel...super insightful...and helpful. Biggest part is the information is coming from a non pretentious or condescending stand point as is an issue with a lot of audio engineers...I dont subscribe to KZbin channels often and I'm completely stoked about subscribing this one.

[@mageprometheus]

Thanks, Graham. I use your system and it works great. During gain staging, I use pre-effects volume automation which I like as it helps compressors work better later on. Normal volume automation towards the end with the faders set as extra trim. I have project templates, track templates for groups of tracks that are not in every project, and fx chain templates with pre-configured fx matrix ready to drop on a track that needs special attention. As a retired software developer, I love programming reaper to my exact workflow needs, it's such a geek daw.

[@finechordmusicsingapore]

This is very useful and highlighted efficiency! Fantastic!

[@andreasatlars4281]

I really appreciate all the tips. I have been making music for as long as Graham has been making music and if I'd known all the little (and big) things he's teaching early on I would probably have been as good as him by now too. lol

[@cThreep]

Lovely tips, my man.

[@pointsofhonesty]

great tips, I've used these as an editor for many years...now incorporating into mixing

[@rocksounds-nocophyrightmusic]

Great advices as always. Learned a lot for my own channel offering no copyright music.

[@giulionenna]

I usually don't want to use a mix preset. Is it ok to do it all again every time in order to learn or to experiment more? Thanks to not using presets I found out a new method of mixing guitars that made my songs A LOT better. (if you want check them out, I make metal covers on my channel)

[@cloydlobaton2389]

great tips graham,,,thank u Godbless

[@olialimusic]

thanks for these tips, definitely need to increase my efficiency

[@A.J.99]

Pretty useful tips! However, I prefer to apply QE with HPF (and LPF, if necessary) for each track before adjusting it's level, because, the most of the tracks use to have too much low-end (especially drums room, OH and snare mics).

[@actualchrisreid]

HPF is one of the most useful things I ever learned for mixing. It can really clean up a mix fast and it is easy to apply.

[@emediongcosmas]

This is definitely what I needed

[@User-ue2hu]

Didn't know i needed this

[@MrJHT49]

Big gems in here... thanks!

[@HectorGallegosmusic]

"We're musicians. We don't want to schedule jack." Story of my life. :( I've made it thus far, but it's been crazy.

[@richardderry8453]

Great video Graham.Thanks!

[@MrWeepies]

Love your videos. Just wondered, what do you use to video your KZbins and can I get decent sound/audio quality from filming with an iphone? I do vocals and play acoustic guitar.

[@theashkone1530]

thanks, this video was just answer to many of my recent questions in my mind

[@xamabeatz]

Great video🔥

[@iqi616]

13:07 yep, nothing worse than "finishing" something and posting it that night and then hearing it the next morning with fresh ears after it's already out there!

[@jawaynedixon3607]

Thanks bredda..I always start my mixes fresh, however my type of music is gospel reggae/dancehall gospel and dont seem to use the same procedure . Templates do coming handy tho

[@danielpleitez-martinez7638]

i have a chromebook and cant use pro tools or logic do you recommend i get another laptop or use audacity with chromebook? ive used only pro tools briefly for class never logic or audacity. what do you recommend?

[@actualchrisreid]

It matters what you can afford. Mac stuff is usually a little more expensive, so a PC may be the way to go. You could use Ableton or Pro Tools on PC. There are plenty other DAWs too, that is just what I use. Let me know if you have more questions and I can help you out.

[@danielpleitez-martinez7638]

Ok, sounds good, but let’s say I want to use logic or pro tools on a laptop rather than a PC is that possible and recommend?

[@danielpleitez-martinez7638]

Not getting a Mac just yet, don’t feel like I need it for now bc I’m starting

[@yungrapbeats]

i do all that and i learned a lot of it from u a long time ago!

[@rawkinj6609]

Awesome!! Thank you!!

[@mikebass52]

Hello Gram! Hey, I have a question, My computer is running windows 7, which is not supported anymore. I need to upgrade to windows 10, but will my pro tools 11 run on windows 10? Help please!

[@ianlangille558]

You're the man thanks for the videos 💯

[@dafingaz]

Great advice! Have you seen Ken Lewis mix a song in 10 minutes? Jedi level. LOL. Hope you are doing well!

[@f69tele]

basic question - do you use a different reverb for vocals than you do for the instruments?

[@jammybilly]

I think Graham has always said, if it sounds good, it is good. So if you like it, use it! When this video finished another video of Graham's popped up that might interest you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGXSe5eKeMR_eas

[@actualchrisreid]

I can't remember what Graham does, but I personally use the same, so it sounds like it is the same space as the instruments.

Save As=Time Machine

[@LoneWolf-ni1zj]

Please do us a favor... before recommending the Behringer UMC22, please warn Windows 10 users that this particular Audio Interface is a headache and waste of money for them as Behringer now uses a generic ASIO driver that does NOT like to work with Windows 10. I've been unable to use mine and am ready to toss it in the garbage! I guess you get what you pay for as I will now order the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 2x2 3rd Gen, which I have read, works the best with Windows 10. That's what I get for trying to save a few dollars, I guess.
