Why do you think that anyone wants to look at your stupid face? What are you, a failed actor or something? Cheese ball.

Lots of good youtube channes tells us how to move faders, but this one helps you to think before we move a fader, thats why i love it

The like button alone is not enough to express how much I enjoy these videos and how valuable they are to me.

That one dislike was Mix With The Masters because you're stealing all their customers

Hey man, I wanted to point out, from a dancer and producer standpoint. You, ARE TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO BE ARTIST, which is much more important in my opinion than being skilled at a particular art. bravo. dance education needs to bend to creating artist rather than dancers

The only channel that I actually get excited about new episodes. Kush After Hours.

I, once, accidentally put a buss compressor on a drum bus for texturing. Hours of tweaking, bounced the file and it was magical. The catch here, however is the compressor was all in bypass mode when I was tweaking. I was an idiot for sure. But learnt that sometimes your sound doesn't need anything. Placebo effect? I do not know. But this was one eye-opening experience for sure. Thanks for your video, btw. My only go-to YT channel when it comes to audio post-processing. Love from India.

Aside bus compression, parallel compression on drums have been the gold key for me to achieve more pro mixing.

as a firm believer in understanding the "whys" rather than the "whats", I really appreciate you treating your audience as critical thinking humans. thank you for what you do.

The best audio teacher on the internet. Captivating and easy to understand. Brilliant explanations.

“Odds are its probably there before you can hear it.” So true. Great advice 😎

Kush. You should do a Live Stream Q&A one of these days! I would definitely tune in. Thanks for the insights.

This channel is everything to me right now. The House of Kush is all I need in 2021.

I don't know why exactly, but for mixing-related content, I find that I understand the most when it's just a chill talk and explanation of the subject without showing video of the DAW graphics doing its thing. This is exactly why this channel and SonicScoop with Justin Colletti are my favorite. In that order.

Another great lesson: "Compressor on mixbus to create movement (enhance or deeper or change the groove) " - Thanks Mr.Gregory Scott!!!!! Oh Captain, My Captain!!!!!

"Is it necessary" - "This doesn't really make sense to me unless we contextualize it." Thank you! I see this kind of question all the time and the first thing I want to ask is, "Necessary" - for what? It may be necessary for one thing but not another. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish and whether this is one potential solution.

Ermergherd, the way you put it each time gives me a new view and approach on something I've been doing half my life

"The question is: 'Does it serve the emotional impact of this work of art?'". Amen.

I'm honoured that you took out time to explain more on that question. Obviously your perception is really advanced ( I mean what do you expect from someone who makes mixing tools). I've always looked at mixbus compression as a tool to control dynamics, but I will try and approach it differently next time to see how it affects the rythm and feel of the whole mix. Thanks 🙏

I gotta tell you, in 30 years in Boston, NY and DC, with about 500 sessions under my belt on 24 track analog, I never once heard anyone use the term "glue" when mixing. Not even once. The whole idea of "gluey compression" I think is to correct artifacts that result from mixing ITB with no console. The console itself is a bus and does some natural compression, coloration and dynamics just by passing audio though it. That being said, I totally agree with everything you said and if you need compression, use it. Just don't fall into the standard KZfaq mentality of "Do This On Every Mix" and stuff like "bus everything" because One Size Does Not Fit All.

I love that you're not humming and rambling over an Ableton window. You are actually just explaining how to think about this stuff. Super helpful for a newbie like me.

You know? .... What I find helpful is, as we listen to the teacher teach... A great form of follow up to all that IS being taught, can often lie in the teachers own material... Sneaky little devil is a great format for you to say: " Ahhhhh... That's what Gregory means, when he was talking about 'X'"... You'll be rewarded to actually 'hear' many of his topic's applications- Thank you again Gregory for your work- Super helpful* 👏🏻👑

I wish there was like an ultra subscribe button or something... Gregory Scott is the man, every video has the perfect amount of wisdom and is very well delivered and the concepts are all crystal clearly explained, gets me thinking on the right brain path for success, all thumbs up to Kush After Hours

I think you could do a video on how to make a cabbage and onion smoothie and Id still give it a thumbs up.

Every time I hear the intro music I'm expecting Barry White's voice to come in at any minute.

Please do more videos like your video where you explained drum compression. Actually being able to hear the differences was really nice.

UBK making the mysteries of audio production understandable for all, and all without having to demo it. "Mixing is SEXY baby!"

You're truly one of my favorite people on KZfaq. You're a great teacher and I love the vibe!

Love the metaphor about everything being "polite". Beautiful.

I do, yes.

A long time ago I watched a video from this guy. I, at 1st, thought this guy is totally baked...but after several episodes.. I appreciate his genius! Keep 'em coming Kush!

You’re giving every intern what they really wanted to learn while they were grinding out 16 hour shifts doing food runs and watching the cameras. 😂

The most extensive, and understandable videos I've seen. So well done.

Hearing these concepts hit harder the second time. Thank you. Keep the craft going 🤙🏼

I know why this is the "House of Kush". Because its one of the dopest spots to be on KZfaq! Period

this dude is an excellent teacher. wow

I hope to God one day I get to work with Gregory Scott. Even simply hanging out with him in a session would be a life changing experience for me.

"bc I'm a teacher and I'm a little on the spectrum" best channel on youtube period

i just feel confident after everytime i hear some tips from you sir ! tnx tnx tnx !

That hair's getting longer by the week, buddy! Once again a great video. People forget that mixing is an art.... would anyone say to an artist "Do I need to slap some cherry pink on this canvas?" or "Is it important to use up and down brush strokes?" - it's art. Too many rules have been made by the guys who churn out video that say "Use these Top Ten Tips to get perfect mixes"...... I spent years in my room as a kid splicing tape, playing with four tracks - hanging around studios as a teen to "play" and "experiment" with sound..... hours and hours of learning by doing it... and often doing it badly - but that was I how learned to do it better... and all without KZfaq!! Have a great weekend!

Discovered this channel this morning. These are not just lessons in audio production, this is also a masterclass in how to teach. As a music production teacher myself, I will benefit from both without a shadow of a doubt.

Keep these coming, such good stuff about hearing the fine details, or even applying a compressor without the audible effect of compressing the signal. Meta comment, but thank you for sharing your experiences with the autism spectrum (on the podcast especially). It really gives me the warm fuzzies.

This channel is a gold mine that keeps on giving. Every other channel is teaching specific tricks with plugins that only fix that one problem, but here you learn how to think about mixing as a general concept, and that makes the knowledge applicable to any scenario.

Best audio content on KZfaq 🙌🏼

My mixes have improved more in one week than they did in a whole year watching this guy's content.

The fine points of compression can be so geeky. I love it!

I always try to put on one of Gregory's videos before I begin a mixing session. Such solid advice, and focus, it helps put me in the right headspace for the project, and whether it's a new video or one I'm revisiting for the 5th time, i always get something important out of it. Thank you, you're awesome!

I love your vocal texture in this video!!

your voice and speech is magical!

Confession: I don't actually work with sound. I just found that these videos are very relaxing and his wisdom translates well to other forms of art.

You have an amazing mind and a truly generous spirit Gregory. Rock on mate. PK.

@10:20 I too love juicy, colorful boxes... great video UBK, love your insights, plugs and hardware!

This is like ASMR where you learn stuff. This dude is chill as hell.

Thanks for these After Hours videos, Gregory. Stumbling upon your channel a few months back has changed my outlook on life.

Spectacular dynamic range and volume on the hair tonight Gregory, 2am in Australia and confirmation that the emotional impact is real. Thanks for another great lesson teach 🙏

Thanks for these tutorials. You teaching contributed to sign three tracks with a record label. You just create a great sense of understanding

I've watched this video like 30 times. I love you, Gregory. I've been playing music for 25+ years, but I never tried to produce my own work until the pandemic hit last year. For those of us who are primarily artists, you are a godsend. You understand the technical aspects of engineering really well, but you know how to speak to artists. Yes, sometimes the words and the concepts used by artists are less precise compred to the technical jargon used by engineers. But if we cannot use language in a flexible manner, then we can't actually talk about art. Plain and simple. Thank you brother!

I have Sneaky Little Devils in my playlist. And every time one of your songs come on, it immediately takes me to a whole other dimension from all the other mixes on the playlist. I think that's saying a lot for your artistry. Great work sir.

“A little on the spectrum”, eh? I knew there was a reason I enjoy your videos and why you do so well with all you do. Thanks for all you do. I appreciate the insight and inspiration. The psychology of sound isn’t addressed enough. I tend to mix my drums loud too :)

Using mix buss compression as a source of movement is brilliant. Absolutely eye opening thank you so much for this!

This guy inserts knowledge in my brain like no other

Thanks for speaking my mind, its like a deja vu extension of it! 😄 Started mixing every day on youtube now, and the more you do it the more you realize how unbelivably right you are! 👍

I don't know what the hell you are talking about to be honest but I do enjoy listening to you talk.

"Same great hoodie Bigger Hair!" lol, awesome bro.

Fantastic video. I think everyone starting out gets this feeling of "I need to do this" because they see everyone on forums telling them to use this EQ or this compressor, so they start to assume certain processes apply to every song/mix by default. Of course that concept is ludicrous, but it takes a while to figure this out and deprogram yourself from the madness. 😄

I absolutely love the way you speak about how music should sound BEFORE processing. Some of the best records of all time were made with minimal equipment. It's all about capturing a performance, first and foremost. The best recording engineers in history knew how to capture the best take, and then use what few pieces of outboard gear available to them to subtly enhance that performance, using their expertise in an effort to bring the listener 'into the room.' I am 58, had my first paying gigs at 14, and then began playing clubs at 15, in 1977. I'm a lifer. As a result of my 44 years in the trenches, I have a few of my own insights into studio technique, etc, but I never tire of your cogent and original take on music recording. I wish I had some of your advice decades earlier! Thanks for sharing the benefits of your experience in such a relaxed and personable manner. Keep 'em coming!

Every episode brings me closer to audio enlightenment and your pacing, explanations, language, voice and delivery make all these concepts easier to grasp. You are the Alan Watts of audio. Thank you.

So consistently good that I upvote automatically before even watching, just so I don't forget. I love the idea of using compression artistically, for effect, rather than just a problem solver.

i like that "85 db- should JUST hurt my ears in the right way" statement , you make it sound like music is an artform .... ;-)

I would love to hear you do a Ted talk on making music

I have never subscribed this fast on any channel! Amazing content! Already learned a lot by watching 2 videos 🔥🔥

Was this audio using mix us compression? Lol. Best videos ever. This is a great explanation. People should know the video that actually shows mix us compression. Cuz it's awesome.

kush is love, kush is life

im getting back into music production/ mixing after about 13 years. I'm glad i came across this channel. You put it in a way i can understand.

Bob Ross didn't teach you how to paint, he taught you why to paint. That's what I love about these videos. Gregory Scott lays out where to paint some happy trees in your mix.

Awesome as always Gregory. I love the way you always put ears and feeling before reaching and tweaking.

Wonderful! Your videos bring a very unicque approach and very precious knowledge. It's being mind widening for me to watch them. Thank you for this!

well i just learned a lot. i'm definitely better at recording than mixing currently. working my way up to being a solid mix engineer, and the mix buss my challenge right now, so this was magical. It never even occurred to me to think of transients as being high frequencies, (which they obviously are) and to use a buss compressor to blend them appropriately. sheesh. it would've taken me years to notice that. kinda embarassing, but oh well. I like that the first priority of these videos is to think about things correctly, and that means ways that help.

Sooooo, i subscribed yesterday to try out your plugins. THX 4 this beautiful and ''stylish'' explanation of everything that you speak of. Younger generations should learn something from people like you. After 35 years in business i MUST admit that i am quite suprised with plugins. Specially with Clariphonic on piano. I also tried Novatron and UBK on mastering process. Absolute fantastic. Most important thing is that Kush plugins work great with signal from my 16 track tape. It's like mixing on old analogue desk. And believe me, my MCI 500 racked EQ, and ADR Express limiter are beasts ;-) So keep up a good work. All the best to Kush Audio ;-)

Good answers. Last time I checked their is no one decision fits all. I routinely run my masters through my tune analog leveling amplifier for the warmth that device contributes to the process with the leveling amplifier on bypass. Thanks Gregory!

JFC...the stuff you talk about just blows me away. The whole sharpness in digital thing 2.5-5k...damnit I thought I was crazy. Love the channel man...keep it coming!

Gotta be honest. I love mixbus compression. And parallel compression the way Andre Scheps does it. But over using it is a bad idea for sure. And this applies to everything. This is an incredible topic.

It is very inspiring to see someone emphasizing the subjectiveness of mixing decisions. I sometimes do things because I think they are needed... I should question that more often and try minimalistic approaches until I feel the need of a specific tool that does the job.

insightful as always. I work analogue - and the mix bus compressor is in circuit from the start (very gentle), that way it always has some impact on anything I do so I'm constantly finding agreement between any upstream and downstream process. I see a lot of people just add it at the end of the process which is a different thing.

Going to be very honest, ever since I watched this video I have approached every mix entirely different, and as a result my mixes have become of better quality👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Cuz, I love the way you talk about the art and the emotional impact; that's what all this work is for. Gets forgotten in a lot of videos about mixing.

Always love this channel. So informative in a soulful way. The way I treat music.

your voice is so rich and easy to listen to. it's like asmr but with music education.

The way you deliver the ideas is just brilliant. It's like sitting in a nice room in the evening with a great friend and exchanging the thoughts.

That sad, MAN, I've never thought to use attack that way, to smooth out the 3-5k region. That's a solid trick, I'm going to be using this! This is defo something I tend to never be satisfied with. I've tried EQ'ing a little lower. It makes some difference. But rounding off transients... That's genius! Thanks bud!

I produce music with synthesizers and groovebox. My Mixer has two channels with inserts. So I tried to figure out how compression effects the sound, but couldn’t find anything positive. I thought i need someone who knows all the tricks and shares his knowledge. I will get back to the compressor after watching your videos. Thank you so much.

Great continuation of the "Hearing Compression" video. Thanks for another piece of the puzzle, UBK.

This is kinda cool how it's "afterhours" -Have missed that sort of "late night radio vibe" since the internet killed the radio...

You might be the coolest guy on the internet. Thanks for your videos

Man.... this guy is the only guy I CAREFULLY listen to and watch on mixing, though he does not actually show anything but his face, mimicking how it feels what he is talking about

Every word that comes out from his mouth is a MUST TO THINK ABOUT. Brilliant!

Excellent advice on mix bus compression. This has helped me a bunch :) thank you Gregory 🤛

Thank you Gregory Scott, You are the Man !!!!

Real talk, excellent explanation... Thanks

Waking up, fresh coffee, and a new video from Gregory. The best way to start the day.
