[@SiQuemaCuhh]

Crazy to think 8 years ago we were at 720p quality. The information in these videos is timeless

[@ThomasLebeaumorley]

I love JJP's discriptions of mixing. Never technical, always musical.

[@mwstakyle]

Thanks for sharing your gift with us JJP, I'm so grateful to people of your calibre sharing knowledge and experience with us, it means people will still be making records from the heart for years to come.

[@senadinfaze]

Amazing 20 min. He truely tried to answer every question as best as he could. Even with gear choices, when he didn't really think a specific piece should be underlined, he picked one just to try and make the answer more useful to the person asking it.

[@darryldray]

Have all this guys plugins, love the way he shares information. JJP doesn't mind showing you things and teaching you things. One cool cat.

[@MikeSpexTV]

Love his explanation of compression. it's more to make it dance together than fr level. Real advice, thx Mwtm thx Jack!!

[@baboon1972]

"Compression for me is not level".. HALLELUJAH BROTHER!!!!!!

[@jmi_music]

Best video on the internet right here. Thank you Jack Joseph Puig

[@solrodriguez6731]

Very much appreciate your perspective JJP! I had the chance to briefly meet you at the Pensado Awards and I just wanted to say thank you for being so willing to talk to a "fan"! Your humility, thoughtfulness, and kindness are matched only by your great art! Rock on!

[@controlfreak6429]

This guy has so many gold/platinum records it's crazy. Ha it almost feels unreasonable to aspire to be like JJP. He is the man though. Manages to talk about everything in a way that is more technical than most other and gives more musical descriptions at the same time seamlessly.

[@MartinLang1625]

I like the way you speak. Concise and clear. Thank you. Looking forward to more!

[@simonrussell77]

Total legend! Thanks for sharing your tricks. Gonna try the snare parallel low boost for sure.

[@maxreaper25]

Pray for me. Anyone watching this, I just got an email back about an interview for an internship at a studio. I’m jus tryna learn and get better be surrounded by all of this ❤️

[@jjjuhg]

got the job ?

[@danielalexandre3933]

Nice video. The last tip was the most useful to me, i try to practice that as much as i can. Finnish a track and move on is super important for your music career.

[@maxreaper25]

He dropped the knowledge ❤️

[@dynamicalan]

I am glad you are doing these - Thank You!

[@djmattplay]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Def not enough time to get in depth with a lot of those questions. However it was still nice to get an idea of your approach on those subjects. It all comes down to, use your ears and experiment.

[@TheWilyChannel]

Great advice. I especially have to remember the last piece of advice he gives when I'm zoning out on one thing wayyy too long.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

14:39 Have you tried pizza? Well, you did say EVERYTHING 🤪🤪🤪 But seriously... great discussion on compression. !!!!!!

[@atiliobaez6184]

"Did you know that wearing a hat with a brim puts a notch in your hearing at around 2 Khz?" Bob Katz

[@danielalexandre3933]

Mabe wearing a hat is the secret of a great mix. =)

[@onelove1625]

5:30 uh-huh, this knowledge changes everything for me

[@TybaltD]

For entertainment purposes, turn on the closed captions. Hilarious.

[@DrAudioBot]

lol

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Good one 🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@J_Zeus_XXVII]

Very, very informative. Excellent stuff!

[@Durrantula]

I love the snare vs. hi-hat Q: & A: Awesome tip!

[@generationdink]

That 16:23 - that classic autofocus? Panasonic maybe?

[@cpramod70]

Its Audio tracks from Waves Its a EQ And A compressor ! Its Amazing

[@bbuteo]

You are freaking amazing, this was a moment of knowledge , thank you so much Sr. Joseph, i will use some of this info on my next mix, that's for sure!! its funny that i use the duplicate snare track with one of them with a massive bottom end, its such a sweet technique, tx once again!!

[@antsupertramp]

What's that vocal plug-in? 19:33

[@Gman7294]

6:50 , "you should be able to make it on anything". Cool cat

[@REALKILLERZ1604]

Francisco oroz el dice q usa audio track para la mayoria de cosas tambores bass etc.y el Fairchild para vocals .ps el jack joseph es un jenio

[@andrewt248]

Slate VBR is a killer 2buss compressor rack plug-in.

[@ordreancien]

Hello, At 19´ i don’t get the name of this compressor. Any help please ? Thanks

[@Brutuscomedy]

I wonder if he still thinks 48kHz sounds bad. Also, bouncing to tape affects timing. I tend to enjoy the results.

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

I've noticed in these Q&As that people really obsess over the chains and the answers are almost always very similar. It's get it right with out too much processing

[@mrpudikin]

Please, whats the first song playing in the background

[@RobertHamadi]

Thanks Dewa netar.

[@2grandbaby854]

It’s crazy how JJP predicted how music is consumed in the streaming era

[@MattSulfur]

Who tries the snare tips ?

[@apenasmarcosfelipe]

the music in the background is so distracting and loud!! But he's such a genius that we don't even mind. Thank you for sharing his awesome knowledge

[@vaporettos]

Mr.Clapton ?

[@MGMNTmjn]

"I get asked this question all the time from regular people, as well as very educated people." WTF?!!! hahaha.

[@watsonsmicrocomputers9297]

Pretty sure he meant in his field, as in educated in audio engineering.

[@MissDULCETofficial]

I totally agree, however, I don't know how i'd feel after i'd had my first taste of major success you know?

[@BrettBrothers]

Didn't know Heisenberg was a mix engineer!

[@WillyJunior]

what a boss!

[@jasonfontaine7072]

Great philosophy on compression

[@ivjdivfjalekvvjp]

What's the song playing around the 5 - 8 minute range?

[@JohnBullfrost]

Thanks for sharing.

[@recordsandtapes921]

Records and Tapes Approved.. "Ro Sham Bo" by the Grays and "Spilt Milk" by Jellyfish!

[@pstamatiou]

a true master!

[@SonnyTheMac]

that was awesome.

[@henrikpetersson2899]

"Compression for me is not level" While I get what he's saying, compression is surely a great tool to affect the timing and flow of something, I bet that he's using compression a lot for just levelling purposes. Unless he's got a hell of a finger to ride that fader.

[@conanliquid]

The guy is so ace.

[@theophilusphasha5600]

Ok good advice from legend

[@CharlesK441]

Thanks great insight

[@tonycash6472]

Nice video.

[@tonycash6472]

I love the puig 670. I have to control the urge not to put that plug in on every track. Also love his signature series plug in.

[@motionPush]

Thank you.

[@n3r173]

thank you

[@jamesadcock5235]

What's a plugin?

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

The wall socket !!! Wah wah wah waaaaahhhh

[@Drfresh1402]

Geniuses.

[@GeoffBosco]

That is the rub, isn't it?

[@AllenVanWert]

They should mix the static noise out of this audio... also, if you were in a train station with lots of people walking around and they asked you to point out the one person who may be up to something based on how they look... this would be the guy, maybe too many large pieces of flare

[@kpgpwi64]

yeah that shirt/fedora combo is legit. hahah

[@vidsforsquids]

Yeah! he's up to being one of the best in the business

[@WSIAlberta]

And......as a great example of a comment that has nothing to do with anything you would win.

[@mixamelbourne]

good................

[@mrtrixterathotmail]

Guess its this one: waves[dot]com/plugins/audiotrack

[@ViGoRiCk]

Daniel Lanois, is that you? hahaha

[@5AMIXER]

The two people that clicked the dislike button hit it by accident

[@LukeJF89]

Don't be lazy and parallel compress the snare.

[@GeoffBosco]

12:55 "...just taking something is not cool..." If someone listens to, or downloads my song, they have taken nothing from me. And, if the people in the music business figure out a way to control all the music on the internet, they'll ruin it just like they did popular music. I have original content, you are free to do with it what ever you want. I only ask to be credited by name...and, even that I cannot enforce. I'd rather my work be famous than try to extract a profit from every play...

[@KonoplevAndrew]

Great!)

[@gorillachilla]

so much professionalism even a average joe will show some audio clip instead of yapping and showing nothing wasted 22 mins of my life no offence

[@XeroBase69]

That shirt requires immediate attenuation.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Nice 👍👍👍

[@wealive89]

;] great

[@cinemediaservices]

The search for "loudness" in my opinion is pretty foolish. If your song is on radio or being played by a DJ, they have control over your loudness. EVERYONE has a volume control. The search should be for improved mixes, cleaner sound and properly compressing a final mix for QUALITY of sound and musicality. Anyone between your music and an audience can compress the hell out of your music so it peaks continuously, (AKA makes it louder). This whole loudness thing is like having a mate who's perfect... but you'd like someone 9' tall because the others are shorter.

[@dendonoso2481]

I agree! , the dynamic range is very important, so... ¿why kill it? a song that is constantly hitting on 0dB is a peace of shit.

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

not so evident, My first mix made everyone laugh at the bar where I tried it, and I told the waiter to turn up the volume, he answered me to the fullest, then I looked stupid and asked what was going on, in my house it sounded decent.

[@andreumateulamas]

Art is never finished.. It´s abandoned.

[@NickLAnderson]

Hi. :) Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven, hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

[@olegschramm]

Great answers to stupid questions...

[@senadinfaze]

Sorry, I don't think they were stupid Qs at all! Peace!

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

Wah wah wah waaaaahhhh

[@noisyneil]

Jack, do you get better midrange by wearing fake glasses? Sorry, I'm being mean. Great Q&A. Really enjoyed it. Seriously though, what's with the fake glasses? (In case anyone's wondering, you can tell fake glasses because they don't magnify the face.)

[@DjKidKali]

noisyneil who cares they look cool lol

[@noisyneil]

+Mi B yep you're right. I may have had a couple of drinks when I wrote that. Oh well.

[@SteveStockmalMusic]

I drank out of glasses 👓

[@PeterSavad]

"Transiets" Is he seriously saying it wrong??? Transient, Mr. Puig..wow.

[@siriusfun]

Thank god you were here to correct Jack Joseph Puig!

[@YoungLightOfficial428]

all this don't mean nothing yall if you don't know how to use the gear and know how to train your ears..
