This is gold.

It's actually better for waves to let him show the real session with all the non waves plugins because then when there actually is a waves plugin it's more believable that he would actually use it on the real mix.

It's incredible how subtle changes improve overall quality of the mix. The best tips for those who are into symphonic music.

Pay attention at 48:15. That back and forth is gold. Always respect the demo. Then after that, the host says something great. “Let the instrument tell you it needs to be there.”

52:00 the A & B clarity is crazy! So much more shiny and clear

Thank you Alan and Team Waves for your time and sharing the Master Class :)

This is one of the very best video/classes I've seen to date-anywhere. And Alan...you were terrific. I love your personality......Please consider another! Waves should be so proud of this content; and you too Alan Meyerson.

This was the best hour of my entire lockdown so far 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Joyous from start to finish. Thank you!

Thanx Waves for this Masterclass!!! Mr. Meyerson is such a talented mixer and a wonderful personality!!!

This was incredible! Love Alan's heart to impart knowledge.

Excellent, eye-opening tutorial. Thank you Mr. Meyerson

Thanks you Waves for the masterclass and Alan is a great man and is a very nice person. I'd like to see more videos with him in a future.

Watching this again tonight. Thank you so much Alan Meyerson for your amazing insight into mixing orchestral music

Swapping from the rough mix to Alan's was heavenly

How amazing! Alan just unlocked a new level for me!! Thanks Waves and Alan ^^!

I've never actually seen the movie but have listened to the score many many times. Alan Meyerson is an absolutely amazing mix engineer and anything he puts out I will watch with hungry ears. Thank you Mr. Meyerson.

This was an amazing master class. Thank you so much for your insight. I'll be revisiting this video many times for reference and inspiration.

Thank you for this, Waves Audio. So great to find this kind of content on your channel :)

Thank you so much for the masterclasse with Alan Meyerson..

fantastic masterclass, soothing sounding professional and a pleasure to learn from. Nice one Waves for getting this guy, maybe we can have him again for the aggressive stuff he mentioned.

Thanks a lot Alan and Waves , this is an invaluable video with great knowledge of techniques and experience. As Alan said I love being in this time for audio production since we can share knowledge all over the world. Thanks again for great plug-ins and thus great video. 👋

Amazing video. I'm a huge fan of Alan...thank you Waves

Thank you so much for doing this! Huge masterclass.

The lessons of these people are helping me to prepare the soundtrack to the theatrical premiere, which will take place in one month: Tom Holkenborg, Alan Meyerson, Jake Jackson. Thank you, great geniuses!

Thank you so much, Such great bits and pieces we can all learn from :)

That Wonder Woman track, if I listened to it during work... my performance would be EPIC!

Absolutely loved this guys! Thank you! Alan is an absolute legend! 😊

Great stuff. Changed my whole perspective. I work with MIDI mockups using EWQL and Logic Pro. Now I will try out rendering my instrument tracks to audio duplicated using different mike set-ps (close, stage and surround). Also rendering different tracks for eg short and long strings, likewise for other sections.

This is pure gems. Just amazing

I'd love to see an Alan Meyerson collection by Waves.😊 Something to help composers get better mixes for demos. Processing for individual orchestral sections, percussion, choir and synths.

Wow...This "masterclass/tutorial" worth much more than many courses out there, and non at reasonable price...so, I am very greatful to lear a lot of things coming from one of the truly SIR in the world. Thank you so much!

please more of this kind of stuff. much appreciated

Es todo un placer ver a Alen como trabaja y como sabes sacar lo mejor de cada sonido siempre...para mi es uno de los mejores hoy día.

Thank u so much Waves for doing this Video.

If I mentioned 400 odd tracks in the presence of my computer it would explode

Somehow, watching this man be in control makes me feel very safe.

Great video, so much good tips from a legend. Thanks

23:22 Oh my! Not waves!!

Thank you guys for this video, It has been very insightful! I learned a lot. More in-depth videos like this please!

I totally enjoyed hearing where all the speakers are placed in the theater. I have a 10ch system setup for my keyboards. When I’m playing piano & strings (LASS) live, it make a huge difference compared to just a 2ch stereo setup.

Excellent - really appreciate sharing this information.

Great Class😊 Thanks Waves 🎧🔥👍

What an awesome kind man...love this guy!

This was a fantastic class. Thank you.

Thank's for sharing your knowledge :)

Sliced bread's got nuthin' on this masterclass! SUPREME!!!! Many thanks!!!!

Thank you Alan!

Thank you, Alan!

Alan is a legend, this video was great

Thanks a bunch for this initiative. It's so rare to have the behind the scenes of a music score. Mixing records we have en masse, but a score, a surround sound score, now that's great. Quick question : am I to understand right that he inserts his favourite tape machine delay on the long strings subgroup? Enlighten me if you can.

What the actual heck. There is like 500 of tracks. My jaw dropped. Unbelieavable.

WOW THANKS FOR THIS GOLD CONTENT I LEARNED SOOOOOOOO MUCH

Probably the biggest session I've ever seen.😲

What a great guy. So enjoyable.

awesome. great value!!

Awesome stuff

I'd love to see a follow up with action cues. :) Part 2 Part 2!!!

Great Masterclass! Thanks! :)

Great guy, great knowledge

32:50. THIS is a true master.

this is so excellent

Thank you very much.

Excellent video!

Great lesson

Thank You! 🙏🙂🤍👌

Great Video. Thanks.

thanks for the Great video! unfortunately they didnt talk about a very important part - the routing - I can see all of the subgroups he mentions and that makes a lot of sense. but they all go to a main master? how is that one looking? also got the kramer tape on it? and all the FX returns (reverb track in the back of the session) going directly to the same main master? Because that would mean, if the subgroups were to be printed - they would be DRY? could make sense in some cases, but in most cases probably not. @waves audio is there any information about that?

Owesome Masterclass!! Thanks a lot!!

Thank you Waves for this masterclass!!! Cheers, Jeroen Simons, Independent/ ex- EPICA.

Sr Alen it s the best... Bravo Alen!

This is gold

Ha, he pulls up Pro-Q2 and closes it super fast! ;)

23:23 And for this I just used the Fabfilter Pro-Q2 just to trim a bit of the very low end, you hear how it clears things up a bit.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tips as usual... I was wondering are these sessions normally recorded at 96Khz or higher ?

Invaluable!!

Fascinating.

Awesome video! Thank you so much! Small question, how do you use kramer tape stereo plugin on a surround channel and still affect all the channel? Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know which choir library he used? Pretty amazing masterclass!

This is great video. I wished they had left the questions to to ned instead of interrupting Alan. Thank you Mr Meyerson and waves :)

My hero 🤘

Golden

I love it

Epic!

I see Alan using certain plugins on tracks that I have found to not work on all Channels on say a quad or 5.1 buss. Puightech eq only effects stereo Channels for example.

So wonderful! I’ve learned so much from this masterclass and Jake Jackson’s he has out. I wish they would go a little more in depth with how they use reverb though. I’m a composer but a very poorly self taught audio engineer haha. I have no concrete idea on how to properly use reverb to create orchestral depth. I used to have 5 reverb busses with the same reverbs that were set to differing wet/dry ratios from very dry to the front to wet in the back, (with a separate reverb on mastering channel) but I feel this is wrong. I’ve seen others use only two different reverb busses (one for shorter notes, one for longer) which makes sense to me. However, I don’t understand how you create the orchestral depth from this method. Ugh so confused! Wish I would have double majored in composition annnnnd audio engineering haha.

I spy with my little eye an original Mark Mothersbaugh on the wall! So cool!

24:23 Is there anyone knowing what plugins he uses for imaging or panning? The graphic above the volume knobs

My eyes were immediately drawn to the Coffee Cup. I had an accident once and it haunts me ever since.

PLEASE DO AN ALAN MEYERSON ARTIST SERIES PLUGIN COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!

what headset mics are you using?

"We put... We? ... Me..." Nah! Too late! We spotted you. Don't bite anyone's head off. Amazing video

Do most plugins when inserted on quad or surround buss switch over to that format?

This session needs more tracks. 🧐

Cool dude :) Could have watched for a lot longer.

I wonder how many HD cards he is running?

Anyone know why he is using the mono version of the Kramer master tape instead of stereo? Or how he is inserting that on a group channel that is stereo . Wouldn’t it just make it mono or is he using 2 of them?

Wish this was about some more wilder stuff like Man of Steel, BvS or Aquaman soundtracks.

How can we hire this man to mix a record ?

Philz coffee in the b.g. Best coffee EVER.
