I wanna learn to great best metal guitar tone I can :) and improve my metal mixing skills

a lot of wisdom and experience in this interview. It feels good to hear this kind of nuanced and measured words rather than hearing a loud shouting its hard and fast rules

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Reno!

[@norwardradtke1361]

lol loud shouting not pointing any elbows coughglennfrickercough I literally can't watch that guys videos because his shouting physically hurts my ears and gives me this shitty feeling in my chest. I listen to extreme death metal and black metal so I'm used to screaming...but his is out of context and just sound off putting

[@daviddutton9723]

Really thankful for Jordan’s classes. Literally went from not knowing what I was doing two years ago to two LPs in two years that are better sounding than anything else I’ve put out before

[@daves.4859]

surely this course will contain several pearls of wisdom..Jordan is one of the few producers who dispelled several myths such as not boosting more than 3 db, not compressing but using automations, putting reverb on everything, etc .. it is incredible to see his videos where he equalizes with big boosts, compresses at high levels and other things contrary to the myths of the web, obtaining beautiful mixes

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

It’s so great to see metal mixing stuff on this channel. Thank you so much Warren for promoting and working with the best engineers.

[@andyj.3334]

Found the discussion on NS10s interesting.... Little anecdote...had a set since 1990, mixed and tracked on them all through until few years ago. I'd been finding them really difficult and tiering to work on since early 2000s..... It occurred to me recently that this was, perhaps, because I'd worked exclusivly analogue up until about 2001, I'm sure the sound from the gear made them less aggressive. I still have them mostly for sentimental reasons. Next time I hook up the A80 16trk, I'll try them again and check it out....:) Rock on dudes!!👊👍

[@jakpenders123]

Great video! I've learned tons from you both! Found it interesting how both Warren and Jordan are using the same mic to record themselves but Warren's voice track sounds objectively better and smoother, with less low end mud. I wonder if Warren treats his vocal track, and if Jordan's wasn't.

[@EthanRom]

i assume Jordan's audio is coming from the web like from a zoom call so his audio quality is lowered

[@rawjam8542]

I've watch loads of your content, Things are becoming more apparent ,It seems that the producer is become more talented that the artist, With all the studio trickery .

[@Producelikeapro]

Which videos are you talking about? My last videos where I've recorded are all about capturing musicians performances? I don't believe Jordan talking about adding a drum sample is really 'studio trickery'? It's still ultimately about capturing great performances and writing amazing songs!

[@rawjam8542]

@@Producelikeapro Its great hearing about the tricks and tips and technique you and Jordan use, You both being musicians and producers, Your knowledge of studio equipment, Multi talented! To capture or create the magic you both know what your doing! Soz for using word trickery! It wasn't meant in a bad way!

You both should give a try to the Amphion Loudspekears. I went from ns10 and i really felt the same mid range plus a ton of low end and high end!!

Thanks ever so much! Yes, I met the Amphions guys and they are lovely fellows! Would be interested in hearing their speakers!

[@louiegroenewald]

Good morning, Thank you for all the great videos and sincere knowledge sharing from which I learn a lot. Is it possible to make a short video or long😊 about when to gain stage. Before or after setting the faders and starting mixing. There is many videos on gain staging and setting faders, but I do not know what the best practice would be on where to use gain staging. Is it the first thing you do or second thing?

[@josephfish6593]

I don't trust my ear yet. Everyday I'm turning knobs trying to find something.

[@Producelikeapro]

Keep learning and getting better!

[@MarcBecker_Music]

Great video, thank you Warren and Jordan. Just started your course and I already love it. The 7 steps of workflow are absolutely amazing. I use to do a lot of the things you've identified in your process but often not in a particular order what often distracts me from the actual task that needs to be done.. I'll try out your 7 steps and see if it works for me, maybe modify it a bit or just simply follow you suggestions. Thank you ever so much.

[@purenonsense7296]

Hello Warren. I have a question from the client side. We’re working on preproduction for our second album and will start recording drums early next year. I’m looking for someone to mix and master and want to have them before we start recording in case there are questions about what they want (what drum mikes are most important with limited inputs, want dry tracks to re-amp, etc). I’ve mixed the first album and my friends and know that’s not my strength and passion (I’m just the best of my friends at it). Where does someone find a hungry up and coming mixer? I thought it would be simple. I’ve been through google, fiverr, air gigs and found great mixers who charge as such and cheap options who I mix better than (also, it blows my mind people put up profiles without examples of their work). Is there a list of runners up for the academy mix contests? I’ve scrolled through comments on some of your videos and found some options (a lot of youtube pages without linked vids of songs they mixed). Thanks, Mark.

[@Beatledave7]

Love your interviews Warren! If Jordan had longer hair & wore horn rimmed black glasses... he’d pass for Eric Valentine! 😁

[@bulagazibaggy1511]

I fully agree with learning all genders And also no one size fit all is actually true

[@brettwolfelodge7379]

I have to wonder how many times we have heard parts on records engineered by Jordan that are actually just him playing a snippet of a part himself to fix it. My guess is more than once

[@hardcoremusicstudio]

brettwolfelodge extremely rare! I’ve retracked bass once or twice but that’s all. I hate fixing things later, so I’ll work with the artist to get it right.

[@paul_smith66]

You do have to be careful between being hired to mix a record and treading on the toes of the artist and producer (if there is a producer). It is the producers job to make sure the vocals are in tune or the drummer is tight. Depending on your relationship with the producer/artist you can discuss leeway and what their intention is or was. But to just blatantly change things when you're hired to mix is not going to get you repeat work as a mixer. Now, if there isn't a producer, it's a different story or if you were involved with the tracking and had input in production it's different again. You started off talking about 'mixing' and the conversation very soon turned to pure production decisions. I've seen a ton of upcoming mixers really piss off the artist because they did what THEY thought the song should sound like when they were asked to mix what was there and completely ignored what they clients intention was and the production decisions that were already made. I spose my point is there's a massive grey area and you do need to discuss what your role is, especially if you're hired to mix and there is a producer. Mixing should include taming harsh delay or fx choices, of course, but as Bob Clearmountain says, always listen to your client as it is their record and your job will involve different levels of fixing etc depending on the artist/producer relationship. Having said all this, this is a great video with lots of amazingly valuable information, as usual. Very grateful that your channel exisits.

[@butterblood]

The whole “what is the band going to do live if you use samples?” is lame. Like people show up at shows and complain the kick doesn’t sound like the record.

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha yes, indeed! Thanks for posting!

[@AJ_Drums]

No but ill pick apart the fact that i cant hear the kick because the drummers hitting it with a feather. Not against samples because well, ive seen how my fellow drummers in the area play and good god theyd need samples for even jazz. But if you cant play fast and be heard doing it, then you shouldnt be doing it untill you can. The first time i got sampled replaced in a punk band i spent the next 2 years only practicing how i hit my kit so it never had to happen again. I was a little upset but realised it was my own fault for not actually learning how to play
