    This just might be my favorite video of yours. One topic that I don’t think gets enough attention in the online music production advice space is the disparity in signal characteristics between tracks recorded directly through a sterile preamp and tracks recorded through analog on the way in. Would love to hear about your experience with bridging that gap. Happy new year 🎉

    You just need to add more character when mixing! Saturation, analog compression modelling etc. Or have a hybrid setup and have some outboard gear to add that analog color.

    @@masteringcomI do agree from experience, I’ve opened up some of my very first finished tracks that I’ve had sitting on garage band for like a year and a half, and the lack of knowledge that I had then created multiple unfixable issues; the worst problem and main cause of some of this was Bouncing the audio file with all the plugins I thought I knew what I was doing on a track. Once you bounce, especially on IOS garage band, you’re not getting any chance to fix it

    I love the shut your eyes move. If it sounds better it sounds better. Forget the 150$ you spent on a plug in . A lot of times we use plug ins just because we bought them. So stop buying them ! And MIX! Is that sound gym lessons on frequencies? I know what I want or don't want when I eq . But I have to sweep to find it. I think when sweeping you lose site of the initial frequency and start messing with anything you sweep over that u you don't like. Which most frequencies jacked up 20 db sound shitty. Good video I learned quite a bit. Thanks.
