Amazingly precise. This guy is for real. What he is saying from a producer/engineer point of view is laser accurate.

Great to listen to this guy

Just absorbing in everything the master says...

[@RyanOJohn]

wonderful!

This man is an audio genius! About a month ago I realized that 6 out of the 7 CDs I use to "reset my ears"...were touched in some way by JJP. And btw #7 is a remastered CD from the Glenn Miller Orchestra. Hey...when you're hot, you eat ice cream. When you're cold...it's hot chocolate. When I've had too much Flo Rida, Skrillex, etc...then it's Miller time. It's all about capturing "the heart & soul of music."

yeah, he's like a cool holy music man,

[@Zicky67]

[@dialman1111]

nice! well said.

[@purity4your11]

this is what i've needed to hear for soooo long.... some of my best mixes where done purely by instinct, just cause i had to get it done quickly

[@lonzenator]

thanks for you advice... and your genius....

[@sleeplessingc]

Boom!!! Amen jack!!

[@Dustbuster777]

That was really nice to listen to! :)

[@joeyxl3456]

Excellent thank you :)

[@Bansheekilr]

Completely agree

[@byrde92]

he's right your instinct and ears never lie the monitors never tell the truth

[@TonicKemestry]

Damn man that how i make my DJ mixing, PURE INSTINCT!!

[@Stratocastermark]

Interesting stuff - I've been finishing tracking and mixing my CD as I go and I spend too long deciding on Sonnox compressor or T-racks this & that or this EQ blah blah blah! LOL! Really I should just get on and finish the damn tracks - too many choices now and too much time to think it over... The 45 minute thing is the way to go...!

[@charvelguy]

The way he describes instinct is similar to doing a live mix on the fly. Interesting points as you can really get into over analyzing to the point of self detriment.

[@DarkAndMartyr]

this guy is a god, Puig EQ is invaluable

[@VivecAlmsivi]

His remix of 'Breadline' by Megadeth is great; brought life to that song.

[@patogala]

Hey... Great vid... however, coming from Waves, I would have expected better audio on this vid... :P

[@TheSpoonwood]

I want to work for this guy....

[@Smurf431]

Late reply...it's You Tube...if you want great audio use Vimeo....

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

I've always said that you get 90% of the mix in the first 10 minutes...
