Man, what a special and useful thing to have access to! I actually asked Phil a while ago what the hell he did on the bridge of this song, and to get to see it in such detail is just amazing. THANKS JUSTIN!!

[@SonicScoop]

So awesome to hear Josh! Thanks so much for tuning in.

[@Boehmrunner1]

I really enjoyed this presentation. It's so nice to watch someone go through the process and also have them explain what and why they are doing. Thanks so much!

[@shayeasy]

One of the best videos of this kind that I’ve seen. So much expertise presented so concisely and unpretentiously. I had not heard of Phil but am now a big fan. Thank you all for doing this!

[@CRtrain]

Holy crap I think I went to Ithaca with Phil. He played bass in a jazz band with me. This is crazy. Haven;t seen the dude in 25 years. Awesome!

[@paul771]

This is one of the best mix videos I've seen in a long time. Philip's methods and explanations are full of insight...thank you!

[@johnlance3860]

This is an absolutely great one! His willingness to explore ideas really makes me feel better about my own quirky creative steps.

[@bandjjohnson]

Wow, FANTASTIC video. Thank you Phillip for sharing your process! And thanks Justin for bringing us this video too.

[@zonarecordingstudio]

The tracks were recorded so well and the arrangement is great ,mix engineer ‘s dream

[@sgfdancecompany]

Justin thanks so much for this amazing video, Phil goes from 0 to the end with calm, clear and straight forward attitude to unfold his methodology. Congrats!!!!

[@tracyschnurr8685]

Best damn song I have heard in long long time. What a pleasure to watch the mix flow and implementation of mixing style to such a great tune.

[@SonicScoop]

Theo is great!

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Loved it. Great work and definitely need a closer look at that sound flow work you’ve done. You’re so organized. I’ve no idea how that feels ! lol Thanks For doing this. Top Stuff

[@philipweinrobe]

jamie!!!!

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

@@philipweinrobereally great presentation. This is so hard to make compelling but you nailed it! Top work :)

[@DavidGilden]

Great master class, thanks Phil and Justin. Love the putting the De Esser plugin before the Verb tip, Going to have to watch this one more time to see if I missed anything!

[@coldacre]

[@jprnn]

Just a really wonderful session with tons of insight from a very talented and nice fellow! Thank you SonicScoop for making this happen! Lovely stuff!

[@soulslip]

Awesome! Thank you so much for doing this. I have a similar workflow and process. Great to see such a video. I kept staring at that Otari tape machine. I also have an MX5050 MKiii-8 with balanced transformers installed. Love that machine. Cheers!

[@levelletate4551]

Theee Best! Mix with me Video I’ve ever seen.

[@1loveMusic2003]

He does as much as he can without listening to the song so he doesn't lose objectivity. I do the same including gain staging.

[@jkilco1]

Great point! I need to try that.

[@jenssorquist172]

What a great guy, very inspiring and informative. Thanks Philip.

[@MarVinDolo]

[@bandrewes]

Great vid. Also so good to see a mix breakdown on a genuinely good song.

[@BenLittlejohn]

Fantastic breakdown! Whats the name of that white midi controller with all of the knobs on it?

[@philipweinrobe]

midi fighter twister

[@BenLittlejohn]

@@philipweinrobe Thanks!

[@odelldna]

OBS! Soundtoys is NOT scalable as of 28:th of December 2024...these guys need an extra income as this is in many ways- but not completely - a long commercial.

[@joshhidy]

What sound flow command are you using?

[@MariJu1ce]

great! His work on adrianne lenker is very emotional and interesting sounding

[@ivindsolberg7827]

Amazing! So many great tips and tricks! Maybe a stupid question, but how do you know that the tapemachine is exactly 93ms behind? Trial and error or something more sophiaticated?

[@philipweinrobe]

Make a click track, send click track to 2 aux tracks. on one aux track, insert the tape machine. commit the two aux tracks (one without tape machine, one with). then measure the distance between the two committed clicks. for me on this machine at 48k it is 93.37ms. Then, put that number into your hardware insert offset. Every DAW has a way to do this :)

[@ivindsolberg7827]

Fantastic! Thank you so much! Another great tip! Will be sure to apply this technique!⭐️

[@keeblord7383]

Where can I find this guys pro tools scripts?

[@SecretProducerMusic]

Are those vocals raw tracks or are they pre processed before mixing?

[@philipweinrobe]

vocal track is fairly raw. maybe there was a touch of EQ on the way in. i also printed some vocal effects on the way in during recording (BAM OTO pedal in chorus mode, short decay) also, lots of spill in the recoroding so tons of varying degrees of room tone and additional effects end up everywhere!

[@inkwell1981]

Had to check the Goodhertz manual because I was so confused as to why 0% compression did the trick on the drums. I'm still confused.

[@philipweinrobe]

even at 0% there is still some compression happening with the vulf compressor. i don't know exactly why they designed it like that...but because they are geniuses over there i can only assume the answer would be "because that's the right way, duh."

[@cprang]

What kind of tape machine was used?

[@philipweinrobe]

Otari MX 5050 MKIII - 8

[@verdi260]

Hi you barely touch the EQ. It was done while recording?

[@philipweinrobe]

some was maybe done during recording but i touched the EQ when i had to. in general i am not EQing every track. a lot of recorded tracks sound great and its much more about level than EQ

[@verdi260]

@@philipweinrobe Thank you for response...anyway interesting approach tried today and I like it. Thank's again.

[@gleventhal]

"I'm really into pre-delay lately" feels so 'unscientifi'c to me, (I'd think you want the amount of pre-delay based on the stereo-field image that you're going for), but clearly they are getting good results and seems to understand what they are doing. I'd love to hear someone like this really explain where the art/science divide is for them when mixing.

[@aidanduffy5443]

I loved that part. It showed that he is having fun and on a journey with his craft the same way a musician would be with their sound. Though I do get your point. I'm sure plenty of mix engineers wouldn't have said that. But it takes all sorts. I personally like this approach of being excited by new things and then allowing yourself to dive into using them liberally. I'd also imagine he has the maturity not to ruin his mixes with over using something like pre delay too.

[@gleventhal]

​@@aidanduffy5443 Totally, I'd trade a conceptual grasp of all mixing and studio technologies for great ears every day of the week. I wasn't meaning to be shitty, I personally just learned what Pre-delay does after 20 years of using Protools (and just learned how to use Warp Markers yesterday). I am more of a musician than a mixing engineer, but it just seemed like pre-delay is such a specific purpose functionality, that it seemed almost like saying "I am really into moving the faders around lately" which seemed funny to me for someone mixing a fairly high end and elaborate piece of music. He definitely is doing a great job, it's always interesting to see what we take for granted based on our own biases. For anyone reading, pre-delay (as I understand it) is a knob/tunable on a reverb unit to say how much time before the reverberation (echo) is heard. I use it to make sure that the reverb doesn't cloud the original note, and also give the perception of depth, like if someone clapped their hands in an empty parking garage, you might hear the reverb late because it's a big room, while in a phone booth, it would be immediate.

[@leandrolehart8847]

Very good song😅

[@SonicScoop]

Agreed!

[@bubz75]

Talks too much and too many frequent stops. Subtitles will be better💁🏾‍♂️
