First CLA video where he is not trying to sell us his plugins, this is so fresh and cool

CLA is gives great information. Great teacher. Old school and pure heart and raw emotion.

This is the most important one. Monitors and room. If I could go back in time and speak to my young self, I would tell me to stop buying outboard gear, effects, and just buy bass traps, a decent pair of monitors, and properly set them up in the room. Hearing what you are mixing is the single most important thing, and unless you start mixing in a professional studio, which nowadays very few do, in your room, chances are you are not hearing what you are mixing.

This was actually very useful, than'x..

This is great info. Thanks Waves, thanks Chris.

since I've been making music for over 10 years these tips didn't help me personally, but thank you so much CLA and WAVES for bring this to us. You guys rock. #NeverEnoughCowBell

For years I was mixing live with Sony MDR-7506 and got GREAT mixes. Just be CAREFUL of LOUD sound!

"Too much opinion from the room"... genius

Thanks

Damn, I'd love to know what CLA uses as his reference song before he mixes!

I wish I could afford to have CLA mix my tracks.

Мега мощь !!!

double size, double sound?

They definitely would've had to compress his voice hahaha

I wish I would have spent the money on good monitors to begin with. Gone through so many.

hmm.. what he mean at 2:10 - 3:30? basicllly A/B or more?

D1GP I think it's about not leaving it any parts that the rough mix had. I think as producer you have to have reasons for doing stuff out

@@Jubireba He's saying make sure you don't leave out something that is featured in their rough mix. I guess if it's loud in their mix, they like it, so make sure it's prominent in your mix too.

I got a fever... for MORE **COWBELL**!! :)

CLA kind of looks like the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz

I actually spent an inordinate length of time perfecting the cowbells in a couple of my mixes, as they were quite important to the arrangements.

How much cowbell is to much cowbell, Simple if you can here it it's to much.

Chris stopped smoking.

the only prescription is....MORE COWBELL

why does he always swallow so loudly, lol

all these questions have already been everywhere. y'all are the beating this mixing thing to death. new musicians who don't know any better end up thinking mixing is going to automatically make a great song. chill lol.

Rawnie LoveLy mixing is like polishing gold. Where gold represents a great song. It will only make the song better. However if you try and polish a turd, at the end of the day it'll still be a turd. Mixing engineers can't make the same changes to a song like an artist or producer can. They can't change the guitars tine when it sounds to bright they can only EQ It. But the artist can go in and change the tone, they rhythm, and the arrangement of the song. The further along one gets into the creation of a song the smaller the brush strokes get. Waves is just a company trying to maximise it's return on the ignorance of its users. But you can't really blame them, they got a business to run...

I just wanna say that, you can flex how many years you've been working at mixing and making music but it really means nothing. I got homies that have been making beats for 10 years and sound extremely unprofessional while I got friends been doing it for 2 years sounding better than any trash Metro beat. Just saying. "I have been doing it for 10 years" carries very little weight in this realm.

Haha ok, you didn't mention a person in your comment, so that burden is actually on you not replying correctly. Not really mad, just know so many kids who are laughably uneducated about the industry. You seem to have encountered some as well. Also, if that is your version of someone coming at you, you might be the triggered one :)

OMG. "If you are turning up your volume, your room is reacting more." That´s the most stupid thing I heard like ever, period.

He means in terms of acoustic interactions. If your speakers excite the room more with more volume, it generally makes a bad room more of a factor in your sound. Better to mix lower volumes or on headphones in that scenario, unless you really understand what your room does to the end product and you're good at compensating for it.

SoundboothTutorials that is completely wrong! the relation between reflection, modes and room answer is ALWAYS the same.

ManOfDoodle How? If the sound decays before it gets back to you at the mix position, surely that is better than blasting it around the room a few times and mixing more with the direct sound?

SoundboothTutorials how should it decay faster? it decays the same in relation to the direct signal.
