When was the last time you optimized your workflow in your studio?
Because if you want consistent results (aka the mix that translates every time), nothing is going to get you there apart from an absolutely rock-solid, proven process of steps from start to finish.
There’s a reason that the pros at the top of their game don’t talk about their mix bus chain nearly as much as you’d think.
When it comes down to it, what matters most is HOW you use the tools at hand.
And in the audio world, our main tool is the combined room and speakers playback system.
Every.. little.. decision.. we make goes through that bottleneck.
So in this newest edition of “Acoustics Reacts”, let me hand it over to Chris Lord-Alge to see what he has to say about it.

The mixing at consistent volume thing is so true, it’s very easy to keep creeping louder over the course of a session and be constantly adjusting tonal balance to compensate without realising.

Hi Jesco! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this video together. A lot of good basic points are made here and good to be reminded about. Never thought about listening to something I know well before starting to mix to get your ears warmed up. Makes total sense. I hope Chris gets lots of work from this video and brings him out of obscurity and into the lime light. 🙂 Take care!

Metric AB is the best plugin for reference mixing. You can load up to 16 different tracks

I mix on a console and have level calibrated for 0VU at around 80dB SPL C weighted. The console also has a dim switch which knocks the level down by 20db. Very few realise this is NOT for just making it quieter for talking in the room, but for switching the mix to mid range focus. Also mono reference switch is useful, but have it set so its out of only one speaker as well.

Always great to hear from you Jesco! Thanks for this great video!

@audiomez

Additionally, perception of subtle variances in intonation, “just noticeable differences”, embellishments of attack, sustain, and (as you pointed out general dynamic range and ratios) are only detectable at approximately <60dB HL. Careful not to burn in your system when you first arrive at higher intensities because be mindful of aural fatigue and “time weighted averages” which can rapidly impinge on your lower volume cochlear harmonic.

Hello Jesco. I do think there’s a point to listening at high volume. I feel that might reveal some harshness specially in the highs that might not be apparent at lower volumes. All good pro mixes that I like, sound great at high volumes with no harshness.

Jesco, would you agree that auditory memory is around 3 seconds? I come to this conclusion by looping noise and at 3 seconds long for the loop it becomes unrecognisable as a loop and its interesting that this number is also used for short term loudness calculations.

@wayfie777

but the third volume setting is for fun, Jesco!!!

The very short period of remembering sound... I think about it every time the very same Chris Lord Alge stands up, turn around and goes to the wall of effects and makes some changes - it is no more mixing with your ears. It is mixing with your eyes, meters, LEDs, knobs, experience... If you could do in the box mixing with your eyes closed, there would be another huge advantage.
