He got the best videos coz he's not advertising or showing off anything, just 100% knowledge distribution.

[@DirkArnez]

Agree, even he has a lot of gears and i don't feel he is showing off at all

[@soulchorea]

2:43 - even his ponytail has automation. Also, good call on the Andy Wallace shoutout :) I became a fan of his through the Linkin Park stuff and then saw all the other stuff he did. Love that guy!

Grear advice, although I love the cats in the background😻

[@erestube]

I had to watch number two twice because I couldn't concentrate the first time because the tail was coming out of David's head!

[@Poccu9IHuH]

Cats are ours everything! Live high cut filters! 🤣

Black and white cats are the best. ☺ Two white and b&w cats took my homeplace! 🤣

Been watching your vids for ages, but this one definitely is in the top 10. I have the feeling your content is getting better and better... Thx for all that you do -- there are many out there appreciating your generousness.

[@urbanman1516]

Absolutely ace video.

[@radofficial4672]

I think you've covered questions and experiences a lot of people take a long time to gain and understand.. well done !!

[@BrofUJu]

Love the reverb talk. At first I thought it was weird to use different reverbs but helps give everything their own feel. Great stuff.

[@michaelanderwald4179]

I like the advice you give in this video. My loose set of rules for top-down mixing is as follows: 1. Static Mix with pan and levels 2. Processing on the 2-buss 3. Processing on the groups 4. Processing on the individual channels 5. Automation This way I don't lose the big picture and only have to fix problems left over after doing the main things, instead of getting every individual channel to sound "perfect" before even starting playing them together. Sounds trivial, but it was a big thing for me that I realized after watching Al Schmitt's workflow.

[@limetones5429]

Great and very informative! Thank you.

[@TimeMarchesOn]

Great advice Thank you.

[@Erix77]

Great tips sir!

[@phantasma669]

Very nice video man thank you. I post my notes here for a quick reference. 1. Levelling - processing - before after. Level match 2. Too much processing. Minimize. Why you do every move. 3. Do not process before volume levelling and panning. Gain staging. Listen carefully before processing. 4. Soloing too much 5. Not monitoring at different levels. Reference level. Very low volume = vocals test. 60% medium level. High level low end test. 6. Too many stereo tracks. Mono tracks create wideness. 7. Not using different verbs 8. Not using automation. Amateurs vs pros. 9. Not commiting. Toolbox, limited amount of plugins that you know very good. Deadlines. 10. Establish what are the most important elements in the mix. Some elements will have to be more prominent than others.

[@petergardiner7681]

Thx so much

[@adammilburn8855]

Just love your content Dave! No bullshit, just masses of useful info. You motivated me to go thru my plug-ins last night in Logic, organise them properly, deactivate the ones I rarely use (can always turn em on if I open an older project), and importantly, read the manuals properly of the ones I’ve already bought. Like everything in life, best to face up to reality, break bad habits, and improve! Thanks again

[@jmons33]

Great video bud!!!

[@contraspower6302]

Thank you so much🙏♥️

[@vextract4662]

Challenging and useful! I've stripped some mixes that sound way better with less and some songs seem to pleasantly mix themselves. Love automation because it loves your mix.

[@hodshonf]

Inspiring!

[@classicrockcentral2560]

Loving your vids man.. learning heaps! cheers and keep it up

[@donmerguez6014]

Dude that's the thing i was looking for bcause most of the time, I lost the initial idea of what I was looking when I make a beat. It's so cool to remind us these things! I appreciate it man! Thanks you

[@YuriDeryous]

Damn, this IS the best audio education channel on youtube! Each and every video is incredibly eye opening! Thank you so much for all this content David, you nail it everytime!

[@antonellomascarello4698]

Absolutely brilliant video. To watch over and over again. As a beginner, I'll include it as part of my work flow 😀 Especially tip number 1...I've figured that out some weeks ago. I wasn't able to hear Eq/compression... I've realized that I wasn't level matching, at all... Once you start doing that you also start to really train your ears against both eq and compression Thank you a lot 😀 keep you with these amazing videos!!! Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹 ciaoooo

[@HumbuStudio]

I've been watching your videos for a while forgetting to subscribe... Did today, definetly one of the channels with most valuable info I stepped upon. Arigato o Gozaimasuuu !

[@robertoj.fernandez2189]

Amazing info Dave and great tutorial. I may add. When you set your limitations specially on due time, also set a limiting time to work. Is very simple and I like using when I mix at home. 1:- Have a fresh start with a ruff mix early in the morning, 30 minutes on to it. Ruff is done. Breakfast brake and resart again. Question your self what change? And make your choice on it by routing a mind map of the song. (Any way or technic is find) 2.- the next shift should last around 4 hours for lunch, if you are sleepy after eating with is normal is also normal to reset your ears by taking a nap during the day other wise, if you think can last without by the time you are rapping up and you are tired what quality of descition can you take to finished your mix. If you got burnout during your working day most likely your judgement for adjustments too. Our mind is no diferentes from a cpu prosessor it needs to cool down and you be surprise how much. I can go for days but I think you got my point, thanks Dave greetings from Mexico City

[@Poccu9IHuH]

Greatl explanation on crucial parts we have. There is always something to get to grow up. Thx! ☺👍

[@franny231123DMT]

wow bro, hands down best advice!!! you just gave me truckloads of confidence in what I am doing. thanks!!!!

[@rosewood2169]

Great bro!

[@updown5238]

Outstanding! Common sense, learned knowledge from a pro. Thanks to you.

[@timdermitt6936]

I revisited this video today. I’ve been fighting a mix. I needed to hear all of that. That new Ghost stuff Andy mixed is the most inspirational thing that’s happens to me in years. I have 16 Ghost tshirts. I’m rambling. Thanx for all the help David. Really I mean it.

[@mixbustv]

Imagine if you worked with members of Ghost but you can't say anything because their identity is secret lol

[@Synth2000]

Thumbsup your videos have been the best since the beginning. Big respect.

[@JozefHollyPiano]

One of the best and helpfull videos i ever seen. Thank you for your time that you spend for us 🙏🏻👍👌🏻

[@heavymetalmixer91]

The "extremely low volume" for balancing is really good advice, I just tried with -18 dB of what I usually go for mixing and it made wonders.

[@TheRobGuard]

True about level matching after an effect like compressor, EQ, etc. I'm bad at this and is probably why my mixes dont sound so good. Thanks for this tip!

[@kennyRumbles]

Thank you 🙏

[@ToXball]

you give me the key in special way in the post 10. All others are very important. Thanks man ;)

[@tonyverdi4018]

Great tip the diferent predelay times before aux send to a single reverb, thx!!!

[@bncprado]

Hi David. Man, I'm a follower of your stuff for a long long time and I really appreciate everything you've been taught me. Would be nice if you do something about automation only. I truly agree that automation shows the differences between amateur and professionals and would be really nice watching your thorough approach about this subject. Once again, thank you.

[@GoLongboardBroseph]

you're great...wise and honest words

[@lahattec]

Kitties!! Love the tip about the delayed busses before reverb.

[@lahattec]

@@mixbustv I hope I can remember it next time I get to doing a mix.

[@MrDonSevo]

Love the part on reverb, and it will definitely sound more organic than single channel reverb in my music. Keep the tips coming!

[@claudius3124]

Great video! All good advices and a couple of good tips I'll try - like sending to different busses with different pre-delay before going to reverb to create a sense of depth... yup! Thank you sir! I really like your videos and your cats are fun watching too ;-)

[@julianholmanaudio4807]

Great video David! I really struggle with automation, have you done anything on the subject, perhaps a tips and tricks video?

[@eigojiyouzu]

golden info

[@MusicLoverBanda]

You are a gem !! 😍Thanks for sharing your knowledge David 🙌. Would you mind writing heading all these tips in the description section ?

[@davejohnsonmusic]

Automation is the one area where I can improve. Like editing fades and trimming regions, it just feels like tedious work. I need to think of it as artistic editing. Great tips bro, you have taken the top spot for advice and tutorials.

[@sergiopoder]

The best video l’ve seen about mixing🤙

[@theunderdogz2276]

Sei il migliore!

[@thenikkog2117]

Geez your English is perfect! I'm definitely subbing. Cheers mate!

[@chrispepin7354]

wow thank you so so much for this. This is gold info.You should be charging for all this or write a book.

[@oledahl.]

Great video as always! On the point and no bullshit! First time I saw you mr mixbus (sorry but I don't know your name) I admit that I had my doubts because you looked more like a super athlete with a funny accent (now I love your accent btw) then what I imagined a producer should look like, but after viewing some videos I was totally sold! This channel is now one of the first channels I check out every day! It’s almost always something here that makes me really think twice about the way I do things, and always something new to learn! And the word mixaraounditis ( I once went to medical school for some years) is just so funny but also so true that it has become a word in my own vocabulary teaching my students and it could also easily become a medical term. Every word in Latin than end with itis means information. And it works in the same way to. Lol. Keep on posting videos. I am very thankful that you share your wisdom and time with us so a really good Thank You is in place here!!! Kindest regards from Oslo / Norway. 🇳🇴

[@oledahl.]

MixbusTV sorry about the misspellings! Information should have been inflammation. And many then should have been than. I hope you understood the most of it though😃👍

[@petemusgrove7422]

Love the idea of different amounts of pre-delay going into reverb, I'll be experimenting with that. Re over-processing, here's something I only just worked out recently (or had been doing, and somehow forgot!). I kept trying to reign in the bass frequencies with dynamic EQ and compression, but eventually WOKE UP to the fact that I had not used a parametric to scoop out the most intrusive low frequency bumps. Life is much easier now and I don't have to deal with artifacts and "time messing with settings' on various dyn EQs and compressors. Thanks for a great vid, David :-) P.S. I find that sometimes one hour daydreaming on the porch and thinking more critically is worth more than a whole day's mixing.

[@AlexValliMusic]

I mainly work on my own projects as of late and my problem is committing to an idea and keeping with deadlines. When it comes to mixing and mastering I have a few primary select tools I ALWAYS use no matter what kind of track I'm working on, but I will sometimes, very rarely, switch them out for something with a different color or just a different interface to give me a different feeling like I did something else.

[@3ATTR1X]

I have found a finish guide song, and a rough mix without plugins as reference helps, I am guilty of over using plugins, that over use is that there is no reference. Interesting how resetting up my studio the monitors are in a different position, room acoustics is different, opening up old mixes just sound different, like I could remix them again which brings me to the listening environment with dips, peaks and phasing issues that you just end up mixing to how it sounds >good< in your room environment, which brings it back to a guide song thats well mixed and mastered and a rough mix to reference to. Thanks David for the info there is always improvements to be made. The next step for me is to go and get my hearing checked lol.

[@jaceychan7099]

David rocks!

[@darrenfox5165]

Agreed. Being limited is a weapon
