POV MIXING - START to FINISH

[@andreasfranzmann9634]

You usually have to do a 2 year internship to see this stuff. Colt puts it out for us all. For free. So grateful for that! Thanks a ton Colt! Cheers from Germany, Andy

[@josephmalloy7989]

60 year old Hiphop OG.. love the balance between outboard gear and plugins…I can’t do ish without physically touching some knobs and faders but appreciate the advancements of today’s digital domain. Best video I have watched in a long time. Fkn fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TonyThomas10000]

As someone who has been recording and mixing for almost 5 decades, it is really cool to watch your process and results. It is really cool to see how other engineer/producers work because we are all different. I really like the "Colt CAM" bird's eye view. On future mixes, it would be helpful to have a commentary track so that we can follow your thought process.

[@RocknRollkat]

Commentary would be nice. When I was teaching studio production, rule one was.... NO FOOOD OR DRINK IN THE CONTROL ROOM. PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS. 61 years and counting since I first threaded a tape transport.

[@BOOMOPERAMUSIC]

one up for the commentery

[@Ventanty]

While I like that idea, he's also moving quite fast at times. I actually rather recommend using either A) the comments section or B) the description section. Those ways we can retro-actively listen to his moves while reading, instead of seeing a screen. Honestly no producer should be trying to just do what he does on screen. -not without reason at least

[@TonyThomas10000]

@@Ventanty He doesn't have to describe every move. Just what his thinking was in making certain adjustments and what sound he is going for.

[@Ventanty]

@@TonyThomas10000 Tell me what a thought process is. Edit: and how do you say them in a concise way?

[@keith_hudson]

Dang bro. Your ability to have full but clear and crisp vocals without getting harsh is fantastic.

Made it to the end. Good tutorial. I didn't get everything, but stopped the video numerous times to have a close look at what you were doing. Thanks for the video.

I’m a simple guy…I see Colt posts a video, I hit like!

Def watched till the end. Solid approach goat

[@danielasturiano5444]

This is what MWTM should be like. Thank you for doing this!

[@sidtherocker91]

I'll be saving this to my YT library. Man this was so awesome. Never been to a mixing school as such to listen to a mix in person but this was far the most in depth, in person like experience for me...and that to direct from my home studio monitors and headphones. Thank you Colt for taking this effort. God bless you and love from India.

[@LeChapeauMusic]

I like the fact that you're subbed to some of my fav KZbinrs. Cheers.

[@Bryanvdgraaf]

“Those toms sound great” love it! If i was mixing this in your position i would be the whole time like “omg this sounds great oh and this too” great job! Thanks for sharing

[@seand6576]

I really like how this mix from start to finish is much more focus driven like what you would see from a live sound engineer when a band is playing. Not stopping, hitting solo each time, or taking extensive time on a single track when the raw tracks already sound good.

[@astrarivm]

Relistened to this mix with fresh ears and deleted my previous comment. Sounds great, sorry for critics, Colt. Thanks for sharing such useful content.

[@emmettwalker2598]

Finally some one litterally opened the 🎁.. thank you sir.. i have wondered if it was actually possible to capture the whole process as heard in the studio live as a creator.. this is priceless and how it should be.. 👍

[@SagravVelasco]

Thank you for speaking the language so fluently and easy to understand!

[@aggi999]

I don't know how many hours I've sat through sessions like that with my teacher from university, man those were the days

[@FromTheHipp]

adding the swell in the gaps is actually a production point for you Colt lol. idk who these guys are but turnarounds, transitions, fills etc are what bridges gaps and helps the journey of the song. the producer of this record must be in-experienced.

[@TRENAH_db]

Thank you very much. I am grateful to you You are the only person who gives me what I need to understand about music. There are things I discovered myself in audio engineering that I haven't seen anyone talk about; But I opened your videos by accident. I wish I saw your page earlier while I was just getting started. I will never forget what I learned from you. You are my role model always and in the future.❤ Greetings from Yemen

[@ColtCapperrune]

Thank you for that wonderful comment! Means the world to me!

[@lugz4111]

im only starting my journey as a producer/mix engineer in university, just watching you work is a gift thanks man

[@heartstringssound-Doug]

Colt! You Rock man! This is exactly what I've needed for a long time. I also have to say, thank you for setting up this video so well. How to listen properly and how you approach what the main needs are, as your approach! Thank you again! I hope you had as much fun making this video as I did watching!

[@KirtanFi]

Thank you, Colt, for doing this. As someone who is peering in from the outside and absorbing as much knowledge as possible, this video is really helpful 🙏🏽 Really enjoying your content!

[@sparkyapplepants8944]

You know Colt, I think you may have a future in this industry.... You're a plucky guy with a lot of moxie. This was INSANELY instructive. Wow. Thank you so much for the incredible tutorial. I picked up a couple of tricks and ways to make my mixes more interesting. I have been with you since you were at @ 20K followers and the fact that you're over 1ooK shows that our community is really, really smart! Thank you for all of the amazing content.

[@WarmVoice]

Nice work Colt. The mix is sounding great. It's easy to spot a pro! You just got on and did the job. There was no messing around. You had an idea of where you wanted to take the track and you relied on your awareness and experience to dial in what was required to get it there. Superb video for new and old producers alike. Congratulations 😀👍

[@Hive5ive]

This was great. 1st thing I noticed was you don't high pass nearly as much as most people recommend. 2nd thing I noticed is you mix louder (not monitoring), than most mixers I've seen. Makes me want to reevaluate my workflow.

[@zeevshaff]

To be honest I’ve never been hooked on your channel seen a few videos here and there but for whatever reason it didn’t click for me personally, but then… this video.. wow Please release more like this, nothing better than sitting on a Sunday with a cup of coffee and watching you mix a song ( I couldn’t care which genre by the way) just keep this up! Consider me subscribed

[@bassiedee]

Truly inspirational. Love your videos. There is so much to learn. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Jamaica

[@norand022]

I've made it till the end. Never used Pro Tools, but just tried to immerse into the workflow. This should help understand stuff even uncounsiously. Watching others and then mixing own stuff. Watch, learn, do, repeat. And suddenly.. I'm there 🙂 Thx a lot, best regards 🙂

[@jeetlejee]

I watched the whole thing and took notes! It was really interesting to see your work flow with automation, especially when you were adjusting the different sends on the vocal to compliment certain sections of the song. Couldn't stop head banging when the chorus hit and those TOMS! Thanks for your content!

[@chicnwafflesband]

Thanks Colt this is great to see how others mix. Great Inspiration!!!

[@JamesButcher]

it's weird, I don't usually listen to this kind of music but your mixes make me want to - hard to explain but awesome work!!

[@norand022]

Same with me 😀

[@davidmalfese3094]

GREAT VIDEO!! I have wanted to see something like this FOREVER. If you do another one like this...please make verbal comments throughout like you did toward the end. Explaining your analysis and your moves helps a lot. Thanks sooooooo much!!

[@huztlemuzik]

Colt you the man thank you!

[@Arden7one]

Maaaaan, thank you EVER, ever so much for this gem of an episode from within one of your wondrous works, inside out. The middle way is what I believe in too! Especially felt it at 57:00 when you adjusted the MB compression on the main vocals mid low range, maaaan I felt that vocal get it's character cut through the mix, and the kick got so hard when finally had some room to breathe and in the same time be supported by its strong vocal frequency neighbour in the mid lows. It must have smacked through your monitors! Wizards work at place 👌I've listened and watched as carefully as I could following the whole session on an android earbuds, and honestly maybe because of the work flow you mix in, I couldn't hear the toms until half way through when you had the monitor levels quieter, and added a compressor on each them for a moment, then removed and replaced.. I believe. Such an insightful, enjoyable and rewarding experience brother! Thank you for letting us into your creative world. 🙏 P.S if you do these again it'll be nice to have an indicator around your cursor, ProTools mixing window doesn't make it easy to follow 😅 much love from a new fan in London, UK!❤️

[@AshishAviral]

Some of the tracks are almost clipping whats about the gain staging colt? but the mix I enjoyed it .

[@kadematyis6578]

We need more of these !!!! These long format vids are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LiamDriver]

Oh I’m gonna need to sit down with this and take notes 😂

[@jjshelt]

Really appreciate the long form video, Colt! It doesn't need lots of comments on what you're doing, just closely watching and listening to your moves. I also really liked that you have the audio recording after your monitor controller so we can hear the volume adjustments you make in different stages of the mix. Thanks again!

[@kylespeller]

I made it to the end. Great video!

[@markgueren9633]

Oh man!!!! Can’t wait to watch this later!!!

[@PHELCAN]

This is a treat to watch man. Great gear, great technique, and I learned a lot of things from watching you that I'm excited to try myself.

[@chrisw443]

Hot damn, I got headphones on and every time you finish changing a setting it just HITS. Makes me miss producing music.

[@destinhoskins3798]

dope stuff man! your organization really shows how much you know. now, i just need to watch it 10 more times LOL.

[@AutoclaveBeats]

Thank you so much for letting us see you work... please were do you get your programmed drums from..I love how short and punchy they are

[@chrisrsp2025]

Hey Colt Thank You for Pov "Colt-cam"mixing, what a great video. I know everyones different but I'm surprised you don't have a daw controller they ain't for everyone though. But it's very nice to see someone as professional as yourself using just the basic tools and stuff to make the next number one hit. Thanks Again, a very mentor( my numberone mixing mentor for sure ) you rock man! Wish I still lived in Arkansas I'd pay for mixing lessons lol!

[@tgholz1]

Amazing how musical everything gets when you mix. Awesome video

[@sanprods]

I really like this video. I'm from Argentina. I love de simplicity of the mix, few plugins and perfect balance. Love it! Thanks for that videos!

[@simontassano5992]

Way cool - thank you. One question - no mono check? Excellent work - thanks again. Pax

[@ColtCapperrune]

I actually have a whole video on mixing in mono. I would have checked phase relationships if I was mixing real Drums, outside of that, I don’t use mono at all in the mixing phase

[@LeChapeauMusic]

Thanks soooo much for this video man, it's EXACTLY what I needed!!!

[@Epochstudios]

made it to the end, was hoping you would have played that back when you were done to hear version 1 but I get the changes made at 1 hour (when you played the whole song) after were subtle. Man this was killer, thanks for showing this bro!!! And the song is catchy AF and memorable too, even better. Hope it does well for TY

[@charliekey2979]

I did follow it all the way to the end, it was very informative and I learned a lot by just watching you mixing this song. Thanks a lot, the video was death on!

[@billsmith2815]

Made it to the end! Great video, Colt! I like the way you attack a mix.

[@PaulMorini]

This has changed my whole perspective on mixing... 10/25 update a few days later. My mix was 100% better by mixing into my master buss processing and not soloing everything all the time... It's much more like mixing a show rather than surgically assembling parts. Thanks Colt!

[@synthoelectro]

yeah soloing helps sometimes, when you want that certain sound. Years ago someone said, you should mix hearing it all, and dial in stuff. It really does give you the perspective you need.

[@KC0MAE]

Made it to the end, enjoyed very much. Your workflow overwhelmed me, so I have a very long way to go....

[@RealCbase]

Thanks so much for capturing this Colt! 🙏 Would be amazing if you can do this again in the future. 👍 keep up the good work.

[@zakarysorensen3946]

I’VE been meaning to watch this for a while what s good inside

[@danielpflug]

Yo thank you Colt, really appreciate you sharing this. Start to finish, I picked up on so, so much. To witness you trust your ears and make quick decisions is incredibly empowering for someone like me who is prone to second-guessing. As far as education on modern music production, you're easily in the top of my list of GOATs. TY

[@DaMadEgyptian]

Thanks Colt. I'm learning alot from your mixing process even though I don't use Protools. You da man.

[@DylanHunter_]

Does anybody know the song name and if its been released yet

[@prodcountryjames]

I enjoyed watching your process from start to finish. Great work!!

[@AlexValliMusic]

Dude, loved this! It gave me a new perspective on mixing and making me feel like that how I mix isn't bad. Because I'm used to hearing about all the tricks and everything and when you see it in action it's a million times simpler than it sounds. lol

[@vadimignatenko9134]

Interesting how you don't really mess with the vocal reverb. You just set up the aux once and never came back to it. I kinda wanted to see something more interesting with it. Thank you for the video 🙏🏽

[@richardlatham3771]

hi Colt, i got through to the end. man i loved it. alot there to analyze but really good to see a pro doing it. i am currently in a mixing comp and learning the trade and so far haven't made it through the first round of mixing yet. i am redoing my 2 mixes via the top down method and will see how I go this month an next month. thanks Bro.

[@G-Doggy]

That was awesome. POV mixing is very cool. Thanks for doing this, Colt.

[@chrisrsp2025]

Hey Colt, dude this video is gonna save me tons of money lol! Watching you mix on what you have as gear made me realize my Sweetwater wishlist are way to big lol! I don't need all the extra toys and controllers and crap just a mac studio M1 max and good desk and decent outboard gear is all I need. Oh! And the "know how" I'm just getting into music production kinda late in life ( @ age 47 ) but still trying it lol! Love your channel man! Your videos are the best on YT. A true Mentor! Thank You Colt for what you do on here and all the great videos you make please keep the mixing tutorials coming.

This...18 years ago I went to a studio in Nashville on music row and left feeling utterly defeated with this industry. I continued to write but gave up learning this craft. 1 hour, eight minutes, and 34 seconds has just re kindled that flame that burnt out so long ago. I am dusting off the relics of that dream stuffed in my attic and am ready to learn more sir! P.S. Do you take 37 yr old interns?

[@AlexShourds]

Watched start to finish! Super helpful video. Love how you captured the output from the monitor controller. I forget to change my monitoring level often and it was so clear when you brought things down super low how certain things stuck out and you went right to the moves that I was hearing in my head. Definitely gonna remember to change my monitoring levels now! Thanks for this!
