Mix Techniques from a Grammy Winner!

[@maier43]

„Tiny little moves“ - because the tracks already sounded great! The snare was compressed very hard. No wonder he didn’t need more of it.

[@anthonyschultz6801]

CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL THE GREAT ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE! YOU'RE A NATIONAL TREASURE!!!♥️💯💥🙏

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

One often OVERLOOKED trait of these awesome tips vids is the writing and ARRANGEMENT and selection of tones (producer) --- The mixes are far better if the mix engineer is not fighting bad writing and sonic choices to start with. Well done Bro.

[@ChinoMagliba]

Gold information right here!!! 🙏

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Chino!

[@seanemmettfullerton]

Fresh (expert) ears... thanks Bobby! Yeah, sometimes we're too close to the material when tracking and producing- just trying to get it done and over the finish line without crashing :)

[@robshrock-shirakbari1862]

Yeah, that was a good one, Bobby.

[@travis4475]

Clute is da best!

[@schance1666]

great vid as usual, Doc. how are you guys sharing song projects that include the same plugins, are you both on Cubase? cheers

[@BobbyHuff]

Yes exactly!

[@richardbelisle4807]

Would have loved for you to get into the fx

[@chris_share]

Hey Doc, another great lesson here! Although as a doctor you should know the Hippocratic Oath: "I will apply, for the benefit of the sick [audio], all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism." Translated that means you don't have to compress everything!!! 🤣

[@BobbyHuff]

Hey All, When Clute sent me his Cubase file several plugins completely changed their settings between he and I. Don't know if its a Mac/P.C. thing or what?? Anyone ever had this happen?? Anyway here is a video of Clute, with a killer thumbnail...hahahaha. correcting those mistakes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGXcZXeVfNl4n8U

[@BartvanderHorst]

This has been recorded very well. So then you don't need to change much.

[@BobbyHuff]

Thanks Bart. I recorded everything but the vocals.

[@ronson795]

The main points here are less is more (which I try constantly to implement in my judging and decisions) and that mixing is always subjective in parts. Also the balance was great and the genre doesn´t call for extrem moves imo. For example the lead vocals work in the context but I would never smash them with a limiter that hard to prevent some of the dynamics. That doesn´t mean that I am right and he´s wrong. It means both (and many decisions more) can work. Best example for me and kind of eye opening are the 2 different mixes from Nirvana´s Smells Like Teen Spirit. totally different mixes but both work...especially for the consumer ear.

[@jhonea66]

Clute!!

[@martytess]

Hello again Dr! What DAW did he use and what method of transferring the session did you use or do you generally use for slow tools etc?

[@BobbyHuff]

I always send stuff back and forth through We Transfer.

[@martytess]

Sorry, I was asking if you use OMF or export separate tracks or how you have had success between different DAWs..

[@BobbyHuff]

@@martytess oh sorry! Ha. The only way that I’ve ever done it is bounce every track from zero and send all the tracks that way.

[@martytess]

What about MIDI? Just render to audio?

[@BobbyHuff]

@@martytess yes
