This was a brilliant watch. Amazing job. Yeah we can do it all in the box now with infinitely less cost and while we can argue for days about whether or not that can sound better,, worse or equal one thing is more sure - it's nowhere near as fun as this. Surely that's the point right - every stage of creating art should be a joy

yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Joy is so underrated. We as humans work tirelessly to create convenience, while simultaneously robbing ourselves of joy.
Amazing how humanity has invested time, money, brains and effort just to create something that manipulates vibrations so it sounds "pleasant" to the ears.

The way you fattened up the kick and snare compared to the original mix really brings this song into the next century. Love it.

Hell fucking yeah!!! There's a FATSO EL7X Compressor, then a NEVE 33609 Stereo Compressor and 2 Pultec EQP-1A. Am I right?
Interesting to hear a modern mix of this track, it literally sounds like it was recorded last week. More wider & bottom end.

I learnt instantly things that I have been wondering about audio mixers for ages, what is the use of soloing everything and send channels why what? Obvious I know but I have never seen a studio mix happen. I occasionally do live mixes but I am an embryo in comparison. Just watching it made total sense. Thank you.

I want all of Queen's back catalogue to sound like this. Which would probably take you around 15 minutes.
This demonstrates the importance of good source material.
I love watching people mix, especially analog mixes, for some reason its satisfying me for me
I love how virtually all of those console setups have a Lexicon 480L sitting somewhere nearby.
I just realized recently how funny it is that the determining factor of certain qualities of a music production stage/process usually comes from the last stage/process. For example, how loudness and punch in mastering, usually comes from good mixing; how good arrangements, instrumentation, usually comes from good songwriting, and in this case of the video, how good sounding mixes, usually comes from flawless performances
hats of to this guy. as a live and studio sound engineer i honestly have to say that mixing like this is a rare skill nowadays.
Mixing on a board like that is an art form... a dance... only the great studios choreograph the perfect mix. Excellent.
In 10 years of KZread surfing and 16 years of FOH for all kinds of venues I have found a perfect video. Love every second.
Simply amazing how analog boards sounds. It has a life of its own.
What amazes me is that.. Just the raw tracks and the performances are so amazing, and you can really tell how big of a difference getting the best sound you can at the source can make
Most folks do a lot of talking with a bunch of expensive gear behind them and by the time they’re done rambling you’ve already mixed 2-3 songs! Good shit man!!!

It's funny you say that, literally 90% of what's used here comes from the 60s 70s and 80s. The console itself uses a channel strip design that's almost 20 years old.
this guy needs to do all of the remasters and re-releases. absolutely brilliant sound.
What an amazig... I grew up just listing to Queen relises...now I can imagine remixing them....Dont stop me now
Wow dude... you are fast as hell. This is an amazing example of why to get an analog console rather than working all in the box.
a man, his hands, his fantasy, a super mixer console, fantastic music ... freddie, whaooooo .... but this is heaven on earth ? B R A V O !!!! 🙌

Outstanding to watch you at work and create something beautiful and stunning. A pleasure and a joy to witness. Thanks for giving this to us. Respect my brother ✊🏾
Amazing work. Although the original mix is very good, brilliant, considering it's age, when I switched to it, almost felt off my chair. Would like to have your mix in wave file!

KZread recommended this way too late, I should have known about this by now. This is the CLEANEST mix of Don't Stop Me Now I've ever heard. The ONLY complaint is the fade out is a little to quick at the end, other than that, this sounds like what the final cut should have been. The flashing levels and bouncing VU meters on top of that warm and punchy sound are just ecstasy. An excellent mix of a wonderful song, done on beautiful equipment by a master technician.
Amazing to see how a song born! Thanks for sharing this art!
The guitar solo was always fantastic. But you can literally hear the pick attacking the strings now clearer than ever. Just one of the amazing things about this mix. I bend the knee sir.
Great video! Now it's easy to show people how ergonomic, fast and expressive an analog mixing workflow can be. Thanks for the great vid!
So many layers in this song! I appreciate what you upload :)
That's some top notch gear and flawless mixing skills. Awsome!

Brian May is the king of guitar tone, feeling, taste, approach, what a guitar solo ! there's a slight phaser on it ! good job mister, a fresh mix, sounds so lively !
Fantastic modern mix that sounds like it was recorded yesterday. The recording itself was brilliant, of course. Keep up the good work
An artist making art. Putting the perfect frame around the picture.
I grew up on analog all through the 1980s. I am planning a 4000 square foot home studio after 33 years away from music. I have been researching if I should go modern or go old school. This video really makes me want to go with what I know. Old school.
I just did a A/B between your mix and the album version.... and WOW!!.... this just slams. Well done.
this literally made me tear up, holy cow. You don't see this kind of work flow often at ALL!
Nothing can beat mixing on an analogue desk and using eq on it! Such a big difference from doing it in DAW! Pleasure to watch! 😍❤️
Man, that was a captivating watch. Thank you!
When the solo started it gave me shivers sown my spine !
Such an absolute pleasure to watch!
this was simply an experience... my heart is pumping. thank you :)
It’s always nice to see someone actual mix on a console that knows what they’re doing with analog gear. Great mix Dap👊🏽🎶
Really cool video! Adding a few captions or youtube annotations that narrate the mixing moves- especially on the outboard- would really be valuable as well. Thanks for making this!
This video is a real experience!!! You’ve gained a subscriber. Thanks for this!!
This is a so enjoyable video man! Enjoy every second. Very good!
When listening with good headphones, those Pul-Tecs engaged add so much room around your ears. Fantastic!
Back in those days recordings were half the mixing job done, if not even more than the half. So, give a big applause to the recording engineers.
Wow hella modernized feel 💕 You brought out all this clarity and room while keeping everything up to face. Exceeding expectations as usual

I sub Keep doing this format bro
The Puigtec's add so much warmth! Really nice job dude
There is something beautiful and inspiring about this. I only have the vaguest notion of audio production and I have no idea what most of the things you are doing actually do, or why one tweak or another is necessary or desired, but still to just watch you fly through this electronic jungle like a leaping lemur was just great.
Really awesome to see this and hear some tracks in solo. This is still a brilliant song!
