Great stuff mate
Can this speakers use a vertical position?
Making tutorial videos like this are so corny because you are initially making tutorials on how to help someone become popular when 99.9% of the people who make the tutorials have never been popular in their life
Here is what you said about who do you learn from - in my words. You want to learn from someone who knows who you are, knows who your audience is. Gonna say the biggest problem - Many creators are making/competing with other creators. 😢 Like the snobs on Reddit who treated me like a moron when I was just starting out. These are horrible people! You talk about “credits” these people act as if they have three songs on Billboard’s top ten! They would love to say, “Read the manual!” And all the others in the Reddit community join in. They told me I should not be asking about putting the bass in mono until I have been at it for five years. But you also said something that’s undeniably true - people do not care about your music. 🎉❤😮 They have all the music they need and listening to anything new is like some stranger walking up to you in the parking lot at the grocery store and asking if they could sing you a song when you’re trying to make it back home because your favorite show is about to start. You are right in hinting the music industry is like a typewriter or a pay phone. I pretty much hate it. I like busking with my guitar. That’s where it’s at. Just go down to a busy spot where new people are always walking by and do your thing with the tip jar. No middle men. The KZreadr you mentioned finding success on Spotify, very good with presenting the latest plugin, he’s a good KZreadr (for some) proved two things - hard work will beat out talent and people today, the listeners, like a lot of bad music. The audience is everything. Post Malone and Beyoncé have top ten country music? Who knew? It’s not real country though, I am sure you understand. It’s like feeding strangers all this weird food and being shocked when they bite. I agree with you about you really can’t be a KZreadr and an artist. It’d like chasing two cats at the same time - you lose them both. Style and Daw! Right? If you are watching this channel of a brilliant musician who does electronic, acid jazz and it’s not your thing you are wasting your time because he doesn’t like your music either. Now, please stop talking about your age. I was 41 once. Get over it. You will only be 41 for a year. As far as learning from someone talented who understands you as a person and lifts you up - you learn 200-times more. You go home and practice until the sun comes up. I never had a mentor in music production. I only want someone on the charts and they don’t have time. There may be some decent producers who are not famous who could give me some tips. Isotope? Yuck! I don’t want a 45-minute video about everything on the interface! I want to see you eq a song. I want to follow along and have the teacher explain all the numbers he’s looking at and why they are turning a knob and why are they not telling me why? Teachers fall into their own space many times. Now, if you want time to do a KZread channel I believe the jujitsu thing may work. Supply and demand! Don’t do AI. There are more creators than viewers. Alice? She had this follow along course she sold it as her doing the whole techno (not realm my thing) song every sound. Well the sounds were bounced to audio. I complained. I said I took the course ($79) to learn how you made the rolling bass line because it was like magic and she sold the course like it was every move she did. I asked for the midi tracks. She said she destroys them. Dang. One thing you just said, “No rules, limiter mix bus?” Noooooooooooo! You are not wrong but students don’t want that. I need you to tell me and show me how you would do it. Choices have ruined the musician. I have 16-million bass drums. I need to have five, maybe four. What I want from you - either mix my song and explain your decision of mix one of your songs and tell me how and why you do what you do! Show me you making something that sounds good explaining your decisions and what numbers and levels you’re looking at. If you make a song that sounds good that’s verification. When our lesson is over I will be able to experiment when I try to do what you did and it doesn’t Sound good. I may take off the limiter? Andrew can’t write. That’s my strength! I need help making my mixes sound good on a cell phone. I’m a lot older than you but I am not old. I had s grandmother who lived to 106 and she was never old. Oh, since I m texting while you’re talking, my sister is a successful (thief) psychic - we don’t get along - had never helped one of her clients. (Mastering.com) Jujitsu !!! What’s a matter with you? If you’re going to do KZread forget music. Excellent video !! Loved it !!
1:03:40 is he making recording those gain automatizations when riding?
The first time I noticed the Contrast thing was on FastBalls "The Way". Look it up, listen to the intro. A great 90s example of what people like Serban would eventually use in songs like "I feel it coming" by The Weekend. Enjoy!
Hi thanks for the review!!!May i ask (because i cant audition both speakers) in terms of sound quality for nearfield music listening (room size 130 sqft) can you help on that "Barefoot Footprint 03" or "Adam A77H" ? I am not a producer i use studio monitors just for casual music listening the last 20 years and i love their sound!!!
I just want to use one earphone and don't want to be tired of switching devices all the time depending on the type of music. I listen to 80% classical and 20% jazz , pop. I have also seen the mm500 so far, and I think the instrument part is quite good, and the vocals are in the front, so the female voice sounds good. Do you recommend other headphones at this level? I think the sound field of the mm500 is okay. For classical music, the instrument tone is not too modified. , the bass dive is enough for jazz. I don’t know if I understand this right?
ah yes a full hour of marketing bullshit
Seems to be the minority opinion! Do representatives from a brand prefer their brand’s product? Yes. Do I also prefer that brand’s product (and BEFORE I started working with them). Also yes. Do we make those opinions known? (While not denigrating other options?) Yes. Do we provide educational information and context on headphone technology and design, that is not just “marketing bs”, but is in useful, factual information that many aren’t aware of? Also yes. Enjoy your day. -Justin
Great sounds from Toybox, bought! Reminds me of a analog boutique synth where you twist knobs and get crazy unstable sounds out of it, we need more of this in software!
if I could add my 2 cents... i like to used exaggerated amounts of additive EQ BEFORE compression, in order to "fill-out" a portion of the frequency spectrum. so when the compressor kicks in & attenuates those loudest, exaggerated parts, it will bring them all down closer to the rest of the signal, thus "filling out" the sound. this is especially useful when trying to fill out the low-end with a steady & consistent amount of low-end material. you add an exaggerated amount of say 100Hz, then compress that & you're left with like a "box" of low-end. you could do this as well to the upper mids that are pushed hard into saturation/distortion/fuzz, etc. throw a compressor afterwards & you're left with a consistent amount of a dirt & mid/upper-mid range. this could be added "from underneath" via a send or parallel.
Tchad's also done Crowded House, The Finn Bros, Neil Finn, Elvis Costello, Arctic Monkeys and many others.
Can i just say I love love love this style of video! Not relying on project files or stems or specific plugins or gear just simply listening and analyzing.
Awesome to hear! I like it too. :-) -Justin
Thank you so much for your work. I prefer original Staying Alive btw. New version too controlled for funk and I clearly hear distortion of -6lufs BECAUSE we compared it with original. So many records was ruined by this loudness war. Stupid capitalism.
If the insinuation is that under communism or socialism, we would all be forced to mix to -16 LUFS regardless of genre or tastes, and that there would be strict legal ramifications for anyone who put too much THD into a mix, I’ll take the capitalism, thanks 😆
Hey Justin! I love new tools! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for stopping by! -Justin
I have a pair of Kali IN-5's strapped to their amazing WS-6.5 subwoofer in my mixing room and with ARC 4 finishing it off it sounds wonderful. That's a quality 4-way system with sound correction for about £1,800! 😎
almost 5 minutes of pure BS wtf ! PEOPLE just start the vid 5 min later !
Heavens forbid that we tell you: 1. Who the person is 2. What makes this presentation unique 3. Who is sponsoring it so that it could actually happen and 4. That if you watched it in the beginning you could ask Michael questions and win tens of thousands of dollars in free gear. Do you really think YOU could say all that substantially faster? Please film yourself doing so and send me a clip of you want the job. Otherwise, enjoy the video, and try to be grateful for all the amazing things life has to offer. -Justin
@@SonicScoop ya, 5 minutes intro is absurd, too long.
really Demons sounds BAD
No Demo available? Its a skip then..
The demo is Thump One, which is a 100% free plugin on the same theme: www.toyboxaudio.com/pages/thump-one
Hello Justin the audio was not working very well in the other video, thanks for revising it. Give me good news, will engineer Jason Cheese be at Mixcon in 2024?I would love for it to be on the list since it has been on the list for several years. 😊😊😊🎉🎉
He’s down to do it, we are done to have him! We are working to have all the stars align to make it happen. -Justin
In the words of the famous Andrrw Schepps - Kick Snare Vocals and bass..everything else is ...everything else
bought it when it came out and it's a lot of fun,, but i cant get the tool tips to stop (windows vst3) I switched them off but they're still there and a bit annoying.. hopefully an update soon so i can stop them popping up in the way all the time.
Hi, not come across this yet, can you send us an email via the toybox website and we’ll try to track it down :)
Check out my track please! One of my first attempts at a four on the floor beat

Which you choice vsx vs hd490?
that waits reverb sound is prairie sun's reverb rooms in studio c. in cotati california near tom's home, the old wood sided boiler room is called "the waits room." my old band recorded drums in there and we were told it was where many of tom's vocal takes are made. the studio is built in what was an old chicken ranch. the big reverb sounds come from an adjoining room with a huge concrete floor that was a chicken processing area. now that room has a big cornfield mural and is sometimes a live room, although at the time i was there it was a reverb chamber for studios a and b.
Surely you jest making the statement a speaker can be too big. lol. Next, you'll say one can have too many speakers.
On the bright side, all this technology could be used as tools to create some of the GREATEST music ever.
great video! been using the Gabriel album as a study, love Tchad's mixes on Los Lobos and latin playboys
This isn't a comment about Tchad Blake, but I just wanted to say how much I love John Congleton. I only discovered about a year ago that he's produced tons of my favorite indie rock records. I've since listened to every interview he's given. I really love his approach and philosophy. And his productions just make sense to me. They sound like I want music to sound -- raw and energetic while still being crystal clean. I know you've interviewed him, but I would love more content on him.
I actually disagreed with you about "Bad Believer" sounding better than "Digital Witness," for the record. "Bad Believer" just sounded chaotic to me. There was nothing for my ears to latch onto. It also seemed to lack contrast. But maybe some of that's the song and arrangement.
Serben's "Stayin' Alive".....so much more alive~Way back when I carried an actual hardware EMT 250 on the road, believe it or not. It was the only digital reverb I could reasonably rent, pre rack mount digital. It came in a very nice road case and sounded great.
What a blatant aha rip off
Having my songs mixed by other mixers is the thing that taught me the most!
Sam Phillips' Martinis and Bikinis. Also love pretty much everything he engineered with Michell Froom in the 90s.
I hate that this is what I'm commenting but the series you were looking for in reference to the Phantom Planet song would be The OC - damn HS vibes
Just FYI, the podcast is only coming up as 22 seconds long on Apple’s podcast app.
Thanks for the heads up. A fixed version should publish around 630am tomorrow. -Justin
Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon
Great job communicating these concepts! Thank you for sharing.
Well, he's definitely not a real metal head lol
I don’t think rock and metal are the same thing :-) That said, I work on plenty of metal too. The tradeoff between guitar power and drum power still exists, though different sub genres handle it differently. Many of the principles here still apply, though depending on sub genre, can differ slightly. -Justin
@@SonicScoop sorry I was just teasing. I assumed you were wanting the horns there.. maybe you meant the sign for love?
