"Always control before you go into something, then let that little 'excessiveness' happen and it will just feel more natural." Such great advice. I've always been on the fence about EQing before or after reverbs but this just makes sense - allow the reverb to breathe and do its thing after you tame the sound going into it. This was such a great video, thank you!

THIS!!! Jazz is where it's at especially fusion. We need more mixes around this genre. I do not have an issue with the roughness or clipping because that is what makes this song work and captures the energy and dynamics. As Greg Wells said on your channel, if your mix never hits the red, then your mix is dead.

@micindir4213 Жыл бұрын

The secret being: The better musicians play their music, the less work you do as a producer. I love these sort of dates. Its much more an enjoyable pastime, then grind. You don't fix it in the mix, music mixes itself magically. If you take each track separately, they don't make sense, but together they groove like mad. Props for your studio monitors and good soundproofing for live room! Those are two things that make this sort of endauvour fail (Though I'd keep wedge somewhere in case you really need to crank stuff up and not blow up your monitors)

We are nowhere near (and I mean, celestial distances) as good as these guys. But I play keys in a little jazz/funk band of this makeup, and I gotta say - I love roughness. It makes music real I reckon. It makes it intimate. It’s the fingerprint of people coming together and making sound for the sheer joy of it. It’s so cool to see mixing which, for all the staggering complexity of what you’re doing (which as a player and extremely amateur mixer I find terrifying) embraces the warts, rather than making something cold, perfect, and overly manufactured. Loved this one!

if this was mixed clinically it would not have had the LIFE that is in it...well done! This is WHY I think you are a GREAT mixer Warren. You can take a song and with INSTINCT know what it needs to come ALIVE! I wont mention who the services are but I have heard "mixes" by some top studios who offer online services and its like...where is the life? I GET why people use you and your circle of friends. I bet someone who has a highly processed song (say with reverbs and delays) can send you a DRY mix and you, without hearing the processed version would be able to piece that baby together and then some. THAT is what I am talking about. You just know what a song needs and more so...you go that extra mile to get there. You are phenominal...and we are blessed to have a guy like you and your talented circle of friends around. New Genre to mix he says! Hmmmmmm...hmmmmm...Orchestra! Either programmed from virtual instruments or live...take your pick...let us see Warren mix an orchestra score!!!

@acidstorm001 Жыл бұрын

I'm not an expert, but when I've taken tracks from here, I end up doing rough mixes and then I end up going back and wonder why it sounded better. I learned early on that I have to save that progress because when I do sound live, I can only do it in the moment and I have to make decisions and stick with it. DAW mixing is completely different in that you have so many choices you can make. I've gotten to the point where I try to use as minimal plugins as possible. Does the file even need to be EQ'd? Some tracks I literally just do a low and high cut on guitars for example and no compression. Doesn't need it. Drums, I try to stick to EQ, compression and that is it. Unless there is some major problem with it that requires more processing to fix something. Since I do live shows, it's very hard to get the recorded tracks to have that same feel. That's why I love doing live shows. That energy of a live performance just can't be replicated even with the recordings from that show! I'm going to give these a go and mix it as I don't get to work with jazz very often. And I'm used to mixing live tracks that I've recorded from live shows. I love when bands are playing together. Has a totally different sound than the sterile tracks normally done in a studio where the band is doing their parts separate from each other. I like how you mention extreme EQ. Having just done the Death Metal mixing contest mix, extreme EQ on death metal drums is pretty normal. Even doing rock drums to get the right sound is required. -20 db cuts or +12 boosts might sound extreme but if it gets the right sound, that's what it takes.

So..............recording jazz fusion means having all the lads in the control with you listening on a dinky 10" monitors? wow...sad. And I don't understand what's up with Molina. I personally feel nothing when plays. Just loads of technique, that, if you listen to it, harmonically, makes no sense. This kid sounds like Gonzalo Rubalcaba in 1979. Rubalcaba also has amazing technique and is great when plays 'abstract' music or Cuban stuff but forget about playing proper bebop or American jazz standards. It all sounds like a piano exercise book. Molina is like the MIDI version of that, I'm afraid. Keep up the good work, mate. Let's hope you feature this style of music in a proper studio with space for the cats to work in and with proper monitoring. I think I've had enough of the cheesy singer/songwriter and heavy metal sessions.
