Danke!

[@mixbustv]

Thank you Marco! 🙏

[@ToneDepthofficial]

I’ve been mixing in the industry for almost 30 years and I would recommend this channel to engineers from beginner to professional levels. The information is all correct and a lot of channels have no idea what they are talking about. Thanks for providing the next generation of engineers with the correct information! ❤🙏😊

[@mixbustv]

🙏🤘

[@RP-vq4wd]

Yes, I recommend as well

[@discowolf25]

@@mixbustv I mean, 15 years but, same sentiment. 💯 top 3 on KZbin. If you don’t say gain stage right away…nope.

[@RETCHED-METAL]

Awesome 🤘

Yep, D is the ish as we call t

LOLL mega props to the engineer that mixed their last album, gawd dayum

[@brockhard3555]

I swear this guy deserves his own comic book. Such a unique character. "The Adventures of Mixbus Man"!!!

[@commonsense5188]

One point he mentioned that can not be stated enough, is over-analyzing your own mixes/songs. In my past I was EXTREMELY guilty of that. Back when I used to mix for local artists I also did my own music as well. When clients would come in, they would track, get a rough mix to leave with and then I would deliver the final mix very soon after, perhaps a day or 2 later. The mixes always sounded great and clients were happy. However, when it came to my own music, I would sit and over-analyze EVERY aspect. I would mix a song for a week, only to have it sounding worse at the end of that week, than it did on the first day I started mixing it. I would constantly second guess my decisions, revise certain aspects etc etc, and what it amounted to was ZERO released music and NO ONE heard my shit besides close friends. I say all of that to say this, after taking about 6 years away from music, I decided to get back into it this January. I bought all new equipment, built a brand new studio at home and I'm back to making music and the number ONE rule I have for myself is making logical mixing decisions, sticking to them and not mixing "fast" per say, but mixing vigilant with a deadline in mind and when that deadline is hit, that's it. Song is done. Being able to detach from your music while mixing is extremely important.

[@AnthonySigouin]

I personnally work on at least 3 or more different personal projects (often different styles (cinematic, EDM, ambient etc). One day I work on one, another day on an other etc. Working on the same track day after day after day for one week or two is indeed, not the best idea for the final result and your sanity unless you have no choice. I work back 3-4 times on a mix with some days between each sessions taking notes at the end of each about what it remains to be done for the next session. I also write new notes when going back to the session, if needed, during the first listening.

[@highbred]

Thanks for sharing this man. I'm currently struggling pretty bad with this, but reading your story has made me realize it's maybe normal to feel like this about your own work and I should try to move on from that. appreciate it man

[@Mevzuderin]

I have this problem too..ive been busy with 1 song for months now. But i dont know if the problem is that i overanalyse my song or its because i dont have enough knowledge about mixing yet. Every time i tweak things and it seem to sound good but the other day it doesnt sound good so i tweak again. At the end the whole mix sounds bad and overprocessed and so i begin from start again. This drives me crazy.. i hope one day i can do it like you😅

[@flipnap2112]

ha ha I just posted the same. it such an EASY trap to fall into. micromanaging everything and getting caught in the loop. about 9 years ago I had a personal piece that was important to me. you know I mixed it for 3 months. 3 months! just last year I was listening to all the takes from that session and my 3rd test bounce sounded like heaven. the final was an embarrassment. 3 months and I produced a pile of garbage. its just insane! but then again, I think all artists suffer from this. were all perfectionists but its an illusion. there was a famous sculptor (I think) who said something like "theres no such thing as a finished piece, just an abandoned project"

[@Victorcolongarcia]

You described me. I need to invent deadlines to force myself to let go. I am NEVER satisfied with my own stuff

[@sleepisoptional]

“these are ruining your mix!” should have a picture of my hands

[@mixbustv]

😂

[@icons2324]

Lol

[@RAFDOG2k7]

God I need to have this video pop up at least once a month. It's all the lessons I've already learnt but occasionally forget and lose perspective on the a mix. Great, great video!

[@zacharybrown5150]

I need to come back to these video I'm smoking weed and I haven't slept and your voice make me fall asleep I forgot what I was even doing.

[@leroygibbsii2559]

[@rickblackers88]

Yeah i'm work on this. Thanx!

[@peppercrybeatz]

this was the best 'mixing mistakes' video i have seen....thanks

[@robfxdls]

Some very valuable suggestions here.

[@andrewatwill6856]

The most refreshing part in this was the uniqueness focus in reference tracks for me. Because there is so much focus with it in media, sometimes it becomes difficult to tell people the merits of having their own identity in a world that is so geared towards being liked rather than finding their own voice.

[@atlas5926]

I'm struck by how good this actually is, this is my first time in the channel. I'm subscribed that's it. good job

[@iimmyyyy]

This channel is a gem

[@mixbustv]

Thank you for the support!

[@shinobi-1entertainment123]

This was great advice man. Still good to pick up some new tips.

[@TonyKilaBeatz]

Bro this video is underrated 💪🏽

[@arthur.monticelli]

Man you're doing God's work. Thank you so much

[@pauliedibbs9028]

Coming back to this video often seriously helps ground me out... anytime I get frustrated with a current project, or whenever I am feeling blocked... THANK YOU!

[@mathewjohnofficial1061]

It's true what he said. Thank you for sharing this kind of information.

[@inwex8350]

Damn these are seriously solid tips!

[@juancan123]

Thank you. Needed to hear this. The importance of being effective when you have clients.

Thank you for the light, I'm guilty! This helps a lot!

YOUR COMPLETELY RIGHT, TOO MANY KZbinRS SPREADING BAD INFO, SINCE I FOUND THIS CHANNEL THE RESULTS IM GETTING ARE 10X BETTER. THANKS DAVID

[@MusokeMSK]

David is a legend

[@RETCHED-METAL]

Good stuff Dave thank you I needed to hear this too. I'm still coming I've had a lot of things come up in my personal life but I'm coming to join soon.

[@djerikfox]

..this is the reason why your channel is my no1 always about music production for so many years...straight forward always to the point , no b..st!!! RESPECT DAVID!!!!

[@mixbustv]

🙏🙏

[@MrTunes333]

I find your tutorials and way of explaining shit very helpful, and you are good at getting things across. Subbed.

[@jimdukeproject]

All practical advice.

[@aeproductions701]

Great tips David as usual! As someone who only really mixes their own songs one thing I do is mix as I produce the song which I find helpful as final mix stage is done very quickly. Compression or effects are added as I add each part. This wont work for anyone doing mixes for others but I found this works well as getting maybe a reverb on some keys right away lets me know what to add around them for example and then at final mix is already done so at most just needs a volume tweak. I'm fully hardware for production so find knowing which compressor to use on certain sounds a big time saver so your tip on not learning your gear as you mix is one of my stand out points of the video.

[@ultrajayme]

I love your content. I use it often for perspective and to keep things in check mentally. I've been making music for years. I think I'm finally going to take the leap and get into an audio engineering program. I'm looking at schools in Nashville. Hopefully 44 or 45 years old isn't too late to start as a professional. Mix engineering is my passion and what I want to do for people.

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

Amazing tips David! Thank you so much! All tips are true and very helpful! You super duper rock my friend! 😀👍

[@wicky4473]

Your comments about work ethics is spot on. It’s the same for any business. After a certain amount of hours, productivity is reduced to the point where it just becomes time wasting. Great videos, I’m glad I finally discovered your channel.

[@1loveMusic2003]

My worst mistake when I started was putting plugins on individual tracks first and in solo. Now I edit, static mix (level balance), set up 2 bus, then busses and then individual tracks if needed and automate everything so it gives the intended emotion. I'm sooo much faster now and the results are better and more natural sounding. You have been a great resource for good info David Thanks!

[@dextergondo]

You were talking to me this is so me especially micro managing everything ,I will submit my mix soon 😂 Thank you David

[@Bring_MeSunshine]

Some great advice, as usual. Because I don't do this professionally, what's missing from my mixes, is a seasoned ear, but it's improving. I've been known to overwork a mix, by spending too long on it, for way too many hours at once. In light of ths, I now mix in shorter sections, and leave it alone for a few hours, even a day. It pays dividends and means don't sweat the small stuff, plus I'm making quicker decisions. I'm using less plugins, than I used to, and getting better results, and the static mix is always the foundation stone, as you say.

[@Sundaydrumday]

sweeeeet vid!!!!

[@MKD371]

The reference mixes are what they are, a surface level observation. 2d, looking from the outside in, so using reference mixes will only get you a small portion of the way to understanding what a good mix is. To diagnose a real mix, you need to delve into it and know all the individual tracks and how each stem was mixed, and then glued together as a whole, then, how it was mastered.

[@QuopCoup]

Didn't realize how much i liked your information and affirmations.. Right on point, keep it up, don't lose your passion ever. We need more down to earth and honest people like you in this format.

[@mixbustv]

Thank you!

[@schepperz]

That was a killer video David 👏"If you want to find a problem in your mix, you will find many problems" - so true 🙂 Big thank you!

[@mixbustv]

🙌

[@maxdishaw]

Number 4 really “resonated” with me

[@AnimusInvidious]

Great set of tips. My 'elemental mixing' fx rack templates help a ton with #13. I don't fuck around with choosing plugins, having already familiarized myself with them deeply and placed on apt chains. I just drop on a given rack for whatever instrumental type or sound design goal, grab knobs and twist, occasionally swapping out certain plugins selectively if they aren't working for a particular thing.

[@GeorgeKTM4String]

Criminally underrated Video. Thought it was gonna be click-bait-y, but EVERY ONE of these tips is GOLD. I'm gonna share this with everyone I know.

[@mixbustv]

Thank you, unfortunately there is only one way to make good content to be seen in KZbin, you gotta play the title/thumb game

[@le-berry]

You are so right about gain and I hate the discussion which always seems to follow this topic about. floating point 32 bit they just don't understand (sweet spots of plugins) yes some processes wil not have problem within the floating point but I remember back in the day when I started understanding digtal mixing on a Yamaha O2R and once dropping gain to -9 the mix opened up and the main bus was loaded properly and the main fader could go up. Game changer and never looked back. It's a pity people prefer to argue instead of comparing it which should give instant result. People in DAW are confused bij loud softsynth and samples maximised to 0 DBFS the point is the sample or plugin don't care for your mix you should...... thanks mate you are the best !!!

[@ulisescortez2933]

Amazing tips Sr.everyone should follow this to get better.

[@justinweathers91]

Epic Mealtime dude!

[@jaconova]

3:40 Man, David, that´s crucial advice. You could spend forever (literally) tweaking your own stuff, specially if you don´t have a deadline or something. Gotta detach, find someone else to do it, or set a specific date to finish your shit lol.

[@hyperactivists9390]

You do good tutorials.

[@kauciontheboss]

Aye man this dude destroyed all these fake mixing videos 😂 instant sub idc if this a year old. This is GOLD. im watching ALL ya videos im destined to be better at mixing

[@JayYarbroughMusic]

I was happy to know all of these tips but it can never be heard enough. For me it's not learning plugins while you mix, this is something I will do too much. Another excellent video. No BS, to the point experienced knowledge. Thank you.

[@bakharandi]

Great advice that I really needed to hear ! Many Thanks! (-;

[@b.hornetiii.6771]

"Automate everything, don't rellay only on plugins ..." Now that's a pleasant surprise, a real pro. 👏👏👏👏 Many so called pro's in my country say to me, why are you doing so much automation it's 2023, you can use that and this plugin ... It's a lot of work, but it pays of at the end. It's sad how many people just leave the levels as they are and then ask, why is this mix so boring ... :))
