the way he used the reverbs at the end was extremely interesting - just to make a little room/space for the instrument with no obvious 'reverb' effect... very helpful technique, thanks!

[@jhcmusicii6181]

Okay man, late to the party but that was amazing! One of the few mix vids I've seen where I could actually hear the difference and also could feel the mix adding to the musicality of the cue.

[@timflatus]

I just looked through several orchestral mixing videos. I clicked off several of them because I found them too tiring to listen to and when I did concentrate I wasn't learning anything. Within 5 minutes, you got me hooked on the beauty of the sound you're making and the insight and knowledge you clearly have to offer. Thank you.

[@timflatus]

That reverb trick is magic. I have played a little with IR room simulators and already realised that you could do more than what we normally think of as reverb. Astounding!

[@Auddictaudio]

The master at work... great stuff, super useful and insightful

[@CamRebires]

Man what a guy, you can tell he loves what he's doing, awesome

[@joegraves165]

Shame I worked at remote control some years ago and can’t say the same for his personality!

@@Hash-vo1hi What do you think he means? It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

[@Hash-vo1hi]

@@FreakieFan wtf is your problem? Sorry big man, I meant for him to elaborate on his comment. Life must not be going so well for you huh? I’m guessing you’re an older guy who never made it as a musician so you resort to projecting negativity onto random people in KZbin comment sections. 😂 I’ve seen your other comments to people, get a life old timer.

Yes please!

[@mitekillem]

Seems like a 6:30, he's bypassing a shared Aux reverb, not just the verb for the flute. I can definitely detect an overall drop in the volume in the instruments when he hits bypass. Still, it's amazing what a little reverb on the right thing can trick the ear to thinking there's more there.

[@daantemminkpiano]

Goosebumps

[@pjdahmen]

Thank you for the great tutorial

[@jingleskhanaudioproductions]

a good lesson!

[@hoomanleys3770]

i'd like the trick that you add depth to the Flute, i learned new thing, Thank you!

[@prijackcastro]

Incrível como poucos ajustes, com os plugins certos fazem muita diferença.

[@vinniedixiemusic]

vdd ferramentas certas e experiencia fazem toda a diferença numa mix

[@matthewdidomenico4101]

White Meyerson.. When I started mixing I was yooouuuuuuuuuung

[@jamesmatusiak9231]

Amazing , thank you for this

[@jaketanner109]

Alan, how many mics are typically recorded for a film score these days, and how many of those get used? Thanks.

[@nicksaya]

I see Alan using certain plugins on tracks that I have found to not work on all Channels on say a quad or 5.1 buss. Puightech eq only effects stereo Channels for example.

[@cipmars]

I am a sound guy for a news tv station and I can tell you... boy, do I ever suck compared to this guy. What I do is vrey much different but I can't help feeling humble.

[@jaketanner109]

Curious why the delay and reverb are not going through an aux and bus? I didn't see him adjust the mix in the delay especially...

[@Dweeno]

nice

[@PaulLennar]

good stuff!

[@NN-rs1ny]

OMG I just finish watching a Dave Pensados Tutorial video on Vocals and is Amazing how he starts talking about the Reverb trick that this incredible gentlemen talks in this video and how he learned it from him , he says it " it Like Magic" and i have to go back and watch this video again ,My only question is how can i achieve this effect if i dont posses any UAD or Eventide Plugings please help!!!

[@KevinDePreeMusic]

You could probably take a stock verb and turn the room size/decay time down. Then mix the dry/wet to taste.

[@rafahaddad4803]

awesome WOOOOW

Man in the high castle?

[@heryanmau]

mixwiththemasters.com/dm9 yes

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

3:40 i would say it ads more body, not warm? Warm for me is a rich middle range, like in Jethro Tullls Aqualung and Thick as A Brick

[@MrBujum]

Where can I find the full video ? .. no links in the description ..

[@mixwiththemasters]

You can find this 1h30 video series on the MWTM website along with more than 30 other long series et 500+ interviews! goo.gl/5zC3Df

[@BlackenedNL]

It's available on their website if you are a member of the outrageously high priced yearly program

[@loudfistudio]

Mix With The Masters, it's not new it's from couple of months ago.

[@dncviorel]

$300/1 year could be a great investment. You have acccess to all their videos. It's a very good deal for someone serious in learning how to mix.

[@kylejudkins754]

@@dncviorel not really, not if you only plan on watching 2 videos. at 150$ a pop I'm better off asking for an hour of murphy or Myerson's time on skype.

[@linogalois7037]

Feel free to mix my tracks if you're ever bored Alan haha 😁

[@michaelkhanmusic]

now that's how you treat a flute

[@basehead617]

it's kind of funny to have a $150k+ avid s6 and then he's mainly just clicking around the screen and using a mouse anyway lol

[@srincrivel1]

Guys, I've been trying to get a carrer in producing/sound engineering, but I could use some advice. Most people say there isnt a lot of colleges teaching this kind of skill (Keep it in mind that I am from Brazil) and even if there was, most aren't worth the time. So most people advice is to do something else, maybe eletrical engineering for the afinity, and learn it on your spare hours. Anyway, just posting this comment to start a discussion, I could use some opinions, what do you guys think?

[@srincrivel1]

Oh, and btw, my current plan is to get into acoustic engineering, even if I don't understand the field all that well, I think it has some afinity with the field aswell. I would prefer to avoid eletric engineering, since it sounds so tough and personally kind of boring

[@theunknowndude4878]

There will always be someone advising you to do something different. If it's something you want then go for it and don't look back. Just work really really really hard.

[@ivanstojcevic113]

Get a carrer? You mean you want to get employed?? If that is the case, good luck, otherwise best thing is to work by yourself. You may crawl trough the shit at first, but if you want to learn and you are good at what you are doing, it will get to somewhere someday. And yeah, the whole collage you need is to watch these men on youtube and practice.

[@theunknowndude4878]

Also don't get discouraged if in just a year you're still not that great at it. It took me 2 years for my ears to understand more complex things. It just takes time, practice and more time and practice. There's so much good stuff out there on KZbin and google. Use these two things like they are your college courses. I will tell you though it's a very tough world and you have to be 110% committed to it if you want a longterm career of some sort.

[@tehsma]

get some studio monitors and a DAW and practice every day.

[@AshrafElziftawiMusic]

compression after the delay..ummm

[@peteypablo09]

I don't get what's so bad about that?

[@RB747domme]

Ashraf El-ziftawi he wanted to bring them both together. It's a decent way of allowing the ear to be tricked into thinking that the source and the delay are one and the same. He's allowing the walls to become mesh, so that you don't get as much slap back, and just the right amount of pre-delay, so that when you compress the entire source and delay together it becomes a holistic sound rather than sound + compressed delay.

[@matrixate]

Where was the score mixing? Just putting reverb on a flute? Whack.

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

😂😂❤❤

[@honeybeebadger]

Putz

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

This is cringe... How did he scam himself into this business

[@NickChase]

This is idiotic. Every mix is different and will have different approach. Making this kind of videos is same as making videos how to cut the tree.

[@dormaettu302]

We are not here to copy the man just learn the logic behind.

[@martinschulz9176]

You're an idiot for thinking that this was a step-by-step tutorial in the first place. In nowhere in the video does he ever say that "this is how you should absolutely do this and that." He's just showing us how he goes about mixing some orchestral instruments...

[@producedbya-go1621]

This is literally the most idiotic response I've ever seen on a mixing video. Please do me a favor and never make music. You sound toxic as hell
