A gold clip vid would be great.

Sounds like a plan!

This is all good, but the most important thing 90% miss is eliminating the information in the mix that is not relevant (makes mix boxy, dull, not larger than life etc.) and destroys all future attempts to push your mix to the limits in mastering etc. Yes, low end, O.K. it's obvious like an elefant in the room, but the big thing is eliminating the massive amounts of low - mids on every tracks (maybe one element, track or two are exceptions, it deppends on the frequency structure of the track...) so you have the space then for your mix to explode in the mastering stages. You don't eliminate them 100% but "you set the stage" (having belanced moves of course between elements so they work together) with all the tracks for boosting that stage (where 99% of the music is: from approx. 100HZ up to approx. 2KHZ) in mastering with analog hardware gear, mastering plug ins, saturation etc. You can squeeze max. out of your expensive gear rader than just playing the elimination game that could be played with 10$ software ... O.K. enough, this one is for free for all the guys that struggle, but I'm not going to give away more, it was too much try and error for more than 20 years. It's counterintuitive when you see it what the pro mixers are doing (it would blow your mind what kind of radical moves are happening...) but it's a game changer in the end making a difference between an average producer, mixer and a pro level guy. Space (for loudness etc.) the final frontier, haha.

Great addition, thank you! Absolutely. It’s crucial to get it right at the source rather than 'fixing' things later, as this approach yields the best results in mastering.

[@carptackula7536]

Thanks for making this - in your next video about Gold Clip, can you PLEASE explain in detail "what to listen for in the DELTA signal"? -obviously we're going to hear the tips of transients which have been clipped, but "what" are we listening to/for exactly in the delta signal? (what specifically is a "GOOD" delta sound? - THAT would be an awesome thing to cover in yr next video! 🤗)

[@thismixissick]

100% sounds like a great plan! I’ll make sure to do a delta dedicated video soon!

Most viewers use plugins, so it’s gathered to them. However, I would love to do more analog mastering videos on here for you!

[@MR_Cellarpop]

Thanks! Do you like the Carnaby HE2 in mastering?

[@thismixissick]

No, I love it!
