I would to add also something. Try also to buy same model of headphones so you can hear the same thing the artist (vocalist, drummer, etc.) hear. For example you have a vocalist that asks you to boost a little bit the highs on his headphones because his voice sounds to "warm" but because you have a different model of headphones you already hear his voice bright. It's easier to understand each other like this. Also this applies to home producers when they're collaborating and it's late at night and they can't play music through their speakers. It's good for keeping you on the same page more or less. Great video by the way!

Best music app or software to isolate different instruments within a song: (1) Izotope's RX (2) ADX Trax Pro 3 P.S. Someone said that there is no software for isolating different instruments within a song. You can reduce some areas of the frequency spectrum using EQ. The only way to have the instruments in a song separated out is to obtain the original multi-track stems. Is this true? Anyone? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for great videos! I thinking of picking up a pair of Genelec 8030 for editing/mixing, or can you recommend anything better? Would also like to ask you what headphones you recommend for editing/mixing? I want similar characteristics to the 8030; revealing and giving a good foundation for the audio to transfer well onto other speakers/headphones. Price is not a big factor, I would rather buy good stuff from the start instead of upgrading forever, within a reasonable limit of course. I am not ready to spend thousands of dollars on a pair of headphones, but a couple of hundreds is no problem. A built in microphone is a great bonus, so that I can use them for voice calls through my laptop as well. If it makes any difference; I will mostly record dialogue (and maybe a bit of vlogging) through Shure TL47 lav mics unto Zaxcom ZFR400 recorders.

I keep hearing people talking about you should make your sound as flat as possible before you start mixing it and I just wonder if it's true cuz I like watching your channel.

Singing out of pitch can be from gain level; monitiring level too loud or to quiet can result in sharp or flat vocals. You should experiment. Latency with digital equipment can be a problem too causing the singer to not give the best performance. You should experiment. Lately, I sing without monitoring my voice at all and just hearing my unrecorded voice.
