Mixing and Mastering - Ugly Truths

Amazing Mixing and Mastering Tips reveals Ugly Truths. Why repeating after legendary mixing engineers can be harmful. How you got trapped by Studio Monitors and Studio Acoustics market. Why a Mixer is often not the one who defines the audio quality. Why you shouldn't learn how to mix in specific DAW. And why you should lean Mixing, not mixing in specific genre.

In This Video We Will Talk About:
We will start with examples and reasons not to repeat after famous mixing engineers. Real reasons, examples. Then we will go to a very common trap related to how you buy monitors, headphones and acoustic panels and bass traps. Who this market tricks you. Then we will go to the common misconception that mixers define audio quality of the song alone. Honest talk about recording engineers, producers and mastering engineers. Then we will go to the last one but not least one. It's about how to learn mixing. Is it needed to learn mixing in specific DAW like Cubase, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro. Also if you need to learn audio production or how to mix rap, how to mix rock, how to mix pop music, how to mix EDM?

And again this is why this course of Andrew Zeleno is the perfect foundation for anyone that wants to take Audio engineering as a serious matter. It is no joke and believe me you will gain a significant number of years as a head start, without losing and sometime get confused over random KZbin "lectures". I a consistent very well crafted course that covers everything you need to find your path. I am personally already on my own path since I finished the course 2 years ago. Keep up the good work Andrew !!! you're number 1!

Great advice. Nice bball skills by the way! Maybe you should make a video on the perfect jump shot :] Most teach how to learn techniques instead of learning the tools or learning how to listen. Techniques and tricks are a byproduct of learning the tools and concepts, analyzing what you hear, and developing your own skill. Big ups, AZ!

[@AndrewZeleno1]

Thanks Jessica! See you at the class!

[@midnightsocean2689]

This guy sounds like the real deal. He's telling it like it is. It's about critical thinking, experience and real learning. Not superficial money based "education". I was always a little shocked when I'd encounter "professionally trained engineers" who knew how to mix one genre on one platform but were completely lost mixing any other genre or on a different platform. It was like, wait, are you an engineer or not? Listen to the genre, learn what option does what and MIX.

[@eduardoandreoli3118]

Thanks god i attended this course, its typical that some mixer says "i love this preset" and he is mixing tracks recorded maybe by Al Schmitt in Capitol Studios with a Neve 88RS or Joe Chiccarelli, guys who are already mixing while recording, then you try to copy this preset with tracks recorded at your home studio with your friends, it just wont work. This course makes you think like a real audio engineer instead of following your favourite engineer presets, and you learn to separate bullshit and marketing garbage from real needs and stuff that will work for You. The best investment i made in audio engineering world so far.

Hi Eduardo! Very insightful review! It's exactly my goal to separate bullshit and develop critical thinking in students. Thanks for your constant support!

Hey Andrew, thank you for sharing all the valuable stuff on your channel. So i had a question which has been bothered me since long... I have heard that analogue moddeled eqs add harmonics, have unique curve and Q behaviour, So i tried using analogue moddeled eqs from acustica, ssl native, softube, tdr and many more on a sine wave. I didn't find any sort of harmonics being added but that was not the case for analogue moddeled compressers which did actually add harmonic distortion.... I'm really confused, does this mean that analogue moddeled eqs don't inherently add distortion like real analogue equipment unless they have some kind of drive/ thd knov?

[@AndrewZeleno1]

Thanks for the question. However due to the policy of my course I have this huge subtopic on this subject in Compressor Topic and in EQ Topic on my course. I have to share it only with my students. Anyway check the previous video where I exposed SSL channels emulation mistakes and I have Rare plugin secrets video which contain a couple of secrets.

[@kelainefes]

@@thegroove2000 Analysis tools are useful, but they are only showing one limited portion of information at a time. 2 tracks can have the same amount of energy from 10KHz to 20KHz according to a RMS spectrum analyser but one can have an harsh top end and the other a pleasing one because the meter is not showing the annoying high frequency transients in the harsh track. So you always have to remember what the tool can tell you but especially what it cannot tell you.

[@Projacked1]

This video is what the new generation producers need. It's like listening to perpetual illusions most of the time for me, sorry to say. If your sound sucks it's not the gear , it's your lack of going for what you really need instead of the perpetual 'after-fix'. I don't have the need to follow your course, but your no-nonsense approach is imo the best people can get. The amount of compression f.e. , in this era is just embarrassing in my ears. People seem to have forgotten that the most cool sounds are coming from; making it sound cool from the source, Just weird.....

I will give you three examples but please read the info under them about my job and my pro audio background which are not to mix songs. Examples first: The best song of the year (Grammy) VS my mix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmHbpmV_dseNqq8 Ice Cube song I produced and mixed: soundcloud.com/andrew-zeleno/ice-cube-we-be-clubbin-remix-3 famous video game title theme I produced and mixed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYucgpuGZ5uVgMk But make sure you understand I was a senior audio engineer/producer for the biggest broadcasting company in Ukraine for 10 years. I'm not supposed to be a mixer for songs but in broadcasting. Now my occupation is a full time audio engineering teacher (full time since 2016). I'm not supposed to have my own work as songs as my job was broadcasting and later teaching. But you can check these song examples from above. As you request to show my own work and my work is teaching here's an example of how I teach: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ope2XmRtl8qGp68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaqYc5h6aqyYpbc But still the best stuff I keep for the course. As I mentioned in the beginning of this video my videos are just light entertaining addition to my course. I provide a free trial class where you can see how I teach. So it would the best example of my work.

May be. The truth is there is no God engineer. CLA's mixing is coming from perfectly recorded stems for him. And his EQing is mostly "Let's boost highs". Even though he is one of my favorite engineers, I believe we should stop praise audio engineers. They are not celebrities. We should concentrate on the craft.

[@AndrewZeleno1]

Hi. One of my policies which makes my course unique is not to promote any software manufacturer. I show students all pros and cons so they can make own decisions. Based on my previous experience my comment section was commonly used to promote plugins/other engineers many times. I created a strong rules not to allow these activities. Even if you are genuinely discussing those things with each other here to keep up with my policies I have to stop this discussion as it may be one of those promotions. Nothing personal. Just experience based on many situations like this. This channel is about my videos and discussion about the subject of the video. Not about discussing products. Sorry for inconvenience.
