Mixing explained #1 - Basic Mixing Theory
In the first episode of this season We're looking at basic mixing theory :
What is mixing, and what do we want to achieve with a mix?
This highly visual episode will explain the basic theory of making a simple mix and will help you 'visualize' your mix a lot better. In this first episode we don't really look at what we will be physically performing behind our mixing console, but mainly at the concept of what we will be creating.
From episode 2 on we will be diving into mixing consoles, channelstrips and their functions to understand the signalflow. From there on we will be going into some basic mixing sessions and grow into more advanced types of mixes.

I couldn't agree more, a lot of primary aspects of mixing that needed to be introduced were missing in many of the other videos I watched while this video finally cleared up multiple things I needed to understand. A round of applause to this creator!

I usually don’t leave comments but the brilliance of the explanation compelled me to say that this is by far the best explanation of sound mixing I have seen or heard ever. Super great going !

second that !
Damn dude. You f n rock. This is how you teach to those who can't. Lol. So much easier than the rest. Really appreciate you time and efforts.
I can feel my life changing...this is what I've been looking for...
Really phenomenal mixing overview. The 3d visual was so helpful
This is absolutely brilliant.
Wickiemedia is one of the best channels on youtube for music production.. Very detailed with clear information on subject. Plus the vivid graphics and colors give music production fun and excitement..
I've been mixing for 2 years now, and I still come back to this video, just to get the satisfaction of watching these images. This is also the video I show to everyone, who's just starting out mixing. This video let alone will make beginners way better, way faster.
I love the way you superimposed the infographics on the video. It really clarifies things.
i think, u just helped many of the musicians/music enthusiast to lay the base for understanding the recording processes. i thank u a lot for producing such a video.
Very, very, very good! I think you nailed down some very important concepts. I loved the graphics! What I missed though were some examples to go with each graphic ( that would have made this pure industry reference material ) Thanks.

+Terry Doyle Hi Terry, thanks for your comment. As a matter of fact, in the next few weeks I'm actually starting with a new series where we'll go and mix a song from A - to - Z , only with some very basic ingredients. To make that even more interesting to you guys: I'm going to give away the multi-tracks for download. So you can actually use the same material that I'm going to be using in these tutorials! Hopefully the first tutorial in this series should be out in about 2 weeks. cheers!

hands down the most concise yet informative explanation of mixing theory that I have seen on KZread. Phenomenal.
the visual representations make it so much easier to understand. 7 years on, thank you!
Thanks a lot chef, A lot more coming up this season, glad you like it!
The visual representation makes this tutorial beyond brilliant! It's so easy to understand this way.
By far the most accessible and clear-cut intro on the subject I've seen! Keep it up!
This is something I've wanted to learn for a long time, and you've just wonderfully put it into perspective for me. Thanks!
Your sound engineering tutorials rock dude! Thanks for people like you who contribute to help others learn the trade of song production and sound engineering... kudos to you my friend.
As somebody just starting out, this channel has quickly became a very useful tool for me. Thanks a lot for sharing all of this great information, these videos are a tremendous help.
Wow!!!!! Finally, someone explained mixing shortly and properly!!! You are the best!!
this is exactly what beginners like me need. a visual presentation of each element. its all about the foundations of mixing. kudos
AH!!! FINALLY!!! A channel that knows wth they are talking about and is short, basic and to the point! Thank you a million times!!!
I have learned so much with your tutorials. These things are great for a person like me, with lots of training playing the instruments but none on how to record them. It's nice to know I'm working my toward being able to produce good-quality demos on my own, instead of having to call a friend and hope he's up to helping me out. And I love that you explain how things work instead of showing tricks that are DAW-specific!
I like how you explained the differences in how we use to record vs. today. I think a lot of people don't understand that changing the levels relates to how a band setup usually is. Great basic lesson!
This was excellent. Finally a clear and concise explanation of the basic mixing function. And in 6 minutes, to boot. Thank you!
i have to tell you man that i saw this tutorial like a year ago and i just expended 30 min aprox. to come back to this. Is the best explanation of eq, volume and panning that i found around.
Best video about mixing I have came across ever... so simple and explained all the details to give a clear picture
This is one of the best basics video I've ever seen regarding audio engineering
That is an incredible, visual, intuitive explanation of the basis of mixing. Absolutely wonderful.
I already understood the concept of mixing, but this explanation is what I will reference when ever explaining to anyone else. pure gold bro. The illustration brings the concept home perfectly. Especially for visual learners.
Hands down. This is the most lucid explanation of mixing I have seen. You deserve millions of views!
went to a year of music college and this made me understand a mix more than what i learnt there XXX
Oh my GOD I had to instantly SUB once he got to breaking down mixes. So many ppl don't know how to be clear and concise with info but this guy is just that!
Thank you! You’re a good teacher! You simplify everything and make it so clear. Enjoy your day!
This visual explanation of intro mixing is the best I have ever seen!
Thank you very much for doing these tutorials which I can assume take a lot of time to create. In just a few minutes you manage to explain in a very understandable fashion the complications behind a song, where other tutorials take much more time and fail by leaving their viewers more Mixed up.
This little vid brought me more clarity toward mixing than all of groove3 and my mixing books combined. This was a Godsend i tell you. Its like now i get WHY I do what i do rather than just doing because its supposed to be done. I have to run back to my old music now and check to see what's going on now that I have this new found knowledge.
This is the best visual representation of mixing that I ever seen...thank you!
Love you videos man. You make this stuff simple for all to understand
The motion graphic visuals make this so easy to understand. Wish more music tutorials were this straight forward!
I've been reading a bunch into the basics of audio engineering because that is what i want to do as a career. This single video has opened me up a lot better in the world of mixing. THX
I've been (trying) to mix and master for sooo long but never understood why my mixes were so muddy and messy, this has just helped me have a 'eureka, you're an idiot' moment like never before. Seriously, this is beyond helpful, thank you soo much.
This literally is the best explanation of mixing I've ever come across. ❤❤❤
Such value to be had here. Clear concise and easy to comprehend.
Thank you Thank you Thank is the first time I see mixing explain as visual not audio it makes a lot more sense
Thank you, I tried watching a lot of videos on this topic, and most of them were, as you said, overcomplicated. This was simple and straightforward.
Incredible!! Thanks for this presentation. After watching and doing many mixes, this finally did what none of the others did, showed me visually whats happening with sound. Keep up the great work. I will recommend this to everyone.
Such a fantastic introduction! All crystal clear and easily comprehensible in just under 6 minutes. Liked and subscribed.
Wow, I have more clarity now. Thank you so much. I also love how well this video was edited and the graphics provided, you are a real pro.
Best tutorial i've ever seen so far! And i've seen a looooot. Making this basic mixing theory understandable to everyone means you own that theory very well! Thank you a lot :)
Best tutorial on mixing. Simplicity at its best.
Probably the best video I've seen in explaining this ! Awesome !
Hey this whole channel is a gold mine. Thank you.
Great representation of the stereo field.Thanks for taking the time.
This is a great tutorial! I'm just starting out in producing music and some areas like mixing were hard for me to understand until now. You made it Sooo easy to understand lol... Maybe because I'm a visual learner and I noticed your also a graphic designer, so the graphics as a visual helped me a "see" sound better and understand mixing. Thanks for the vid and keep up the great work.
Erm mer ged I took years to learn what your videos says in only few minutes... I cant stop watch them right now, thanks a lot for doing this !
I join everybody and their comments and send you congratulations. I've been trying to understand this for a long time. I've been told mixing is about "sculpting sounds" and received a lot of different other advice but my mixings still remained like kid's drawings without the cuteness. Your graffics made my brain go ureka. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best from France.
An absolutely, AMAZING, tutorial and very clear, concise and simple to understand for some of us! I definitely, look forward to reviewing more of your videos :)
The visualisations are genius! Thanks so much. I've been (trying to do) recording for 30 years and this makes so much sense!
this should be the staple video for mixing 101. concise with great diagrams.. . and an enthusiastic narrator.
where has this video been all my life! thanks!
ive read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos about mixing and recording in general....this video was by far the most clear and concise video on the subject as an intro...the graphics made it even more understandable and appealing...i instantly clicked 'like' and 'subscribe' when it was over...thanks!
Best video ever... The graphics and visuals make it so much easier to understand why we need to pan and eq and compress etc...
As someone who's primarily a visual artist (drawing, animation, film and such), the analogy of volume, panning, and frequency to the X, Y, and Z axis really helps. Very nice tutorial! w00t
Wow! The quality of this vid is insane! And this was uploaded 8 years ago😵😵 thank you !!
Just explaining this visually makes a massive difference, thanks!
Amazing visuals and impactful notions taught in 5 minutes ! Thank you !
I don't think there is a nicer way to present this stuff. Well done man.
thank you, truly! perfect break down, both audibly and visually :)
Best ive seen so far, i also imagine the 3d space between the speakers. Awesome!
As a visual learner.. This was BEAUTIFUL to watch!
This is one of my best 6-min viewing in youtube. Subscribed.
Whew!!! You made that so easy to understand. This is the best visual tutorial ever. Thank you thank you!!!!
Animation of using the 3d space in stereo mix is awesome, wich makes it a great tutorial. Thank you.
Very inspirational. I mean in the way you devote yourself to illuminate things to your audiences. Priceless. I should never understand people who click dislike.
Hahaha! Good to hear you are hungry to learn ;) I am going to be working on it, this season will have a lot more tutorials as the previous ones... Also a lot more practical sessions.. (which makes sense for the topic). I will keep you guys informed about updates on twitter/facebook. Cheers!
the visuals really help. thank you for such well crafted videos and explanations. you're work is invaluable.
you've change my mind and life man!! I now enjoy mixing up my beats.
This.... Is... INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! Thank you so much. By this video alone, it has helped me understand what I've been trying to understand for so long. The visuals help so much!!! I cannot thank you enough.
Seriously, these are THE best tutorials on KZread.
THIS TUTORIAL IS A *MUST* FOR ANYONE TRYING TO LEARN/BRUSH UP ON MIXING
The Graphics and Animations of this video are DOPE!
Awesome visualisation with the 3D space. That makes it so easy to remember and relate to.
You just explained something that I've been stuck wondering about for the past 10 years so clearly I think I could kiss you. Thanks a lot man!
Thanks so much for this clear series on the basics. it's just what I need right now!
Showing the stereo image is Great use of illustration , great video.
Boom !!! a simple video to explain what your trying to do in a mix Brilliant!
This is a perfect explanation and beautiful visualization. I really needed this, thanks!
You need to sell this concept to DAW software companies for visualization while mixing in their program. Especially now a days with all visualization-based editing that shows sound waves in real time as you apply fx. IDK why this is not already a thing!? Great concept. Thanks for sharing
This is brilliant! The best and clearest explanation I seen
Taught me more about mixing in 6 minutes than i learnt at uni in a year. Thanks!
Wow those visualizations are extremely helpful in understanding. Thank you so much!!!
Wow, this is just the intro and I already know so much more than I used to. I knew panning helped make a recording sound better, but I never knew why until I visualized it in a 3D space like in the video. The same goes with equalizing. I really had no clue before. This video helped out a lot already. Great tutorial.
This is a spectacular video on intro/intermediate mixing. Thank you so, so much for the work that went into this :) I'm learning so quickly from you
ditto to the previous comment...this is incredibly helpful, clear, concise and thorough enough for entry into recording theory. Sharing this with my Middle School Music Tech class. Thanks so much for this!
Amazing video. Brilliant visual illustrations. I don’t normally leave comments but you deserve one!!
Given the amazing quality of your animations, I'm more than willing to wait
Thankyou, I was dying to learn this and none could make me understand in such a best way.
