Jeff Ellis is a grammy award winning mix engineer who has worked with artists like frank ocean, doja cat, joji, Paul McCartney. Kali Uchis among others. In todays video I take a look at the pro mixing tips trick and techniques pro mixer jeff ellis uses to craft mixes for these artists. I also take a look jeff ellis's legendary studio inside the famous east west studios. In 2009 jeff moved to east west as an intern and eventually landed a gig as Frank Oceans Engineer working on projects like Channel Orange and Blond. Today he mixes todays top records like Doja Cats Planet Her and Joji Glimpse of Us.

U shld take a shot no matter what (even tho I'm pretty sure the vod got 2k likes lol) but u shld cause this video is good! This the stuff people can really learn from! All the shortcuts and top 10 plugz VIDz in the world will never match up vs good mix theory and adapting to a systematic, but flexible approach like this! I love how he sets up on the cpu then gets off the cpu. I used to work a neve board that I did a similar thing on, that's actually the 1st mix system I learned, start off by tracking to and mixing in the box/hybrid to rough it in using the faders on the right side of the board. Then bus everything over to the left and no Mas screen. Sometimes I liked to go back to pro tools again after the blind side mix, I was new to mixing then so I liked to see how much things changed and to do some serial comp on the master the lazy way lol! But yeah everywhere I've worked (especially mixing) has used a similar system, but never see people talk much about that... Def gonna be watching more videos like this tho! I been in the audio world a long time but still love to learn and see new ways or systems like this!

As an artist I HAAAATE when mixing engineers change the song's vibe. I worked with an engineer once who kept adding a radio effect to my vocals and completely changed the vibe of the songs so I started working with another amazing engineer who respects my creative decisions

Yeooo same , I went to a studio and said I wanted a pop and sort of aggressive sound mix and he said "it was giving lofi" so he just made it as such rather than keeping some of the harshness I wanted.

Once you learn a second daw you realize that they all kinda work the same, I mean depends on what you wanna do, for beat making I’d go FL, no question, but for anything else you really just hit record and put things on channels, then add plugins, buses and mix it, only the UI changes

i love his philosophy going into 4 years of recording and mixing full-time, I have adopted the less is more approach. Even when I record the song I respect the rough mix. It's also great to see him working on budget monitors. I have a pair of Kali Lp 6s that I work on in the studio and I'm getting another pair for my home rig.

Great video man! I met Jeff at NAMM this year in the Kali Audio room, it was the end of the last day and he just walked in when I was testing out the Kali Atmos setup alone. It was a really cool experience. The way he talks about his Kali monitors basically made me commit to getting a pair, maybe I’ll even do Atmos with them. Their new sub is a smaller dual driver sub and it can really bring some heat, better than bigger single driver subs imo.

I’ve heard Jaycen say that and I totally agree with him on that. Sometimes you gotta do that too. Simply just not enough time in one video to to talk about everything. If the rough don’t got magic fuck it up if the rough is magic respect it. If the song sucks don’t mix it.
