“No point in listening to it in isolation” sadly I have no option but to listen to this in isolation. Great tutorial Guy

This is just what I need right now, legend!!

i would love to see your Cocktail Recipe Guy. Hope you and everyone important to you is safe and healthy

He just flexed on all of us in the intro

I love how you take the time to do the wholesome skits

Every single video of yours I learn such wonderful things. Not just technique and tools - but ear, heart, and philosophy lessons as well. Thanks for everything you give us Guy.

I am so glad you focused on mixing. This clarified a number of factors for me signal processing, attenuation, & balance of instruments.

I am so grateful to have found your channel. Before I didn't enjoy DAW stuff and always found it dry. With you, for the first time, it's just fun and I learn so much in a short time from you!

In Cubase, you don't need to duplicate and delete to have separate drum tracks (3:30). Just dissolve the part (MIDI > Dissolve Part) and it will give you a separate track for each note.

Many thanks for posting this Guy - you helped de"mix"ify the whole mixing experience. Very helpful! My brain was making this overly complicated so this is a great simple way to look at it. Can't wait to apply this to non-"stinky" tracks (hopefully).

Thank you! I used to make music on pirated DAWs almost all of my childhood and teen years, and only just a few months back purchased my first Cubase license and some essential VSTs and am trying to dive deeper into it. You are really helping me along the way.

27:43 that strings part is beautiful... great video as usual Guy! Thanks for all the tips and tricks you share with us!

I just LOVE Guy! He teaches in a fun way making sure you understand and stay glued. I certainly don't get some of the terminologies, but I'll search them out. Thanks, Guy for this video.

Thank you so much for this and for all the videos. I’m so glad I found ThinkSpace years ago and became a student. After taking CO, MFTM and composers blueprint I’ve become a better composer and arranger. Thank you Guy and everyone at Thinkspace for all the help. Stay safe everyone

I love this song, simple but moving. Thanks, Guy, for teaching mixing!

I just love watching you work. You're so inspiring and I wish you would finish this tune and make it official. I could see myself on the boardwalk going out for a stroll. Lovely tune. I love your spirit. Thank you for just being you. You're a gift of God to us all.

You've just got to love Guy Michelmore for his sense of humor and the way he makes things easy to understand.

Great video, gotta love it! And it's nice to see Guy seems to be just as lazy as me when it comes to dusting! I think a good going over is in order! 😄👍 Thank you for the video, it is exactly what I need on a relaxed Friday afternoon! Stay safe out there! 🙂

Wow, really clear helpful tutorial and in 30 mins. Many thanks.

You are that kind of friend everybody need...❤️

Thanks so much, really made me smile today.....and also learnt a few tricks to...Happy Easter!

Yes this is exactly what i needed ! Thank you Guy.

That's the first time I've seen that eq trick. Love it!

It is genuinely a nice track! It's been facinating to see what you've done and to learn about somthing new. Thanks for posting this vidio and loving your enthusiasm!

Thanks for the unic and useful video!! I had many doubts about mixing. They're solved. Please keep on doing this magic. I really. Really like your timing and irreverence. Aways look like an informal friendly conversation! Hugs from Brasil!!

What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much Guy😎

Thank you for share ! Beautiful Music!

Absolutely Correct my friend. Arrangment is 80% mixing your music . If the sound don't blend in they will not blend in mixing. AGREED .... Thanks

Excellent Guy thanks for sharing 🙌

most excellent work there Guy. jolly good stuff

Thank you for this excellent intro to mixing!

I would love to watch you make a rap instrumental.

Thanks for making this video.I find it really useful!

Thank you for the great tutorial

Guy, you're such a legend ! =D Thanks for everything you do !!

Very instructive for me, thanks a lot for the video

Really great info. enjoyed. 💯 🤠🎧🙏❤️

Wow! I cannot thank you enough. Perfect. ❤️

Hello Guy !! Un petit coucou de la France où tes vidéos extraordinaires m'accompagnes tous les jours durant le confinement... merci, merci merci !!

Thanks Guy stay safe.

Thanks sharing your knowledge with us

Great work!

Guy, you are an absolute joy to listen to. I'm a singer looking for someone that is you to give me and my songs the direction they need. Oh, if you only lived close by. 😕

Guy, you make me laugh so much lol. Love it!

I love these videos!!

Thank you for this!

Tq, Man. For a newbie like me it's important practice ,,,🙏🙏🙏

Guy, yer a gem, thanks a mill.

I really appreciate your (and your team's of course) great efforts, thanks for all informative and also funny videos :) Could you please make a video for mastering, too? I know it's usually someone elses work to do but it would be helpful for us to learn the basic principles. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! Also, enchanting dance at 20:46

Also thank you the TSE Mixing document. I will mix that one :) great job

I can hear that song being used in our YT videos. Good piece.

Really helpful thank you.

This is fantastic, as usual. (I find it's a good idea, given the benefits of constantly saving, to give the file a second name and work on that - especially if you're going to be deleting some info such as midi parts. That way you can easily get the original thing back if you have to.)

Was hoping to see this after yesterdays video!

learned something yet again :)

Than you for a good explanation

Very useful, thank you. I love the result and of course your final dancing! :-)

Lovely, what adds a lot IMO is the panning, Bravo Guy, one of my weak spots

This has been the best example of mixing.

Best user-friendly example of mixing I've seen. Thanks Guy. Btw..what is the headphone mic you are using? Great quality

Not enuogh views... not enough likes! I hope you know how valuable this kind of thing is to people like me trying to get our heads around this stuff! Thanks so much!

The very first thing I was taught on my BTEC audio production course was: "If you put sh!t in, you'll get sh!t out".

Nice intro. My mind didn't went there, so I smiled. I picked up a few character EQ / channel strips. I got why those are... Useful from the Sie-Q which I got with Soundtoys 5, modeled after a Siemens EQ from the 60's: The W295b. Maybe not so useful for orchestral use, but in general music making it's nice to have plugins that have the same quirks, controls and specific frequencies of famous used EQ's / channel strips. And yes, I've used 'character' compressors before, like the Waves CLA-2A, which came with my Waves bundle. That one I picked up because I've seen it used in famous studios tbh. I still like these intro videos. Reminders, et al.

Nice!

Mixing cocktails sounds good 👍

Precious as usual. And how so effective this little tune is... Great!. Thank you, Guy...and that “dance” at the end of the video is everything 😀...is it part of the mixing process? 🧐

This is very useful for pop tracks, but I would love to see your thoughts on this in an orchestral context.

Think Space Education turned into Guy Michelmore ☺️☺️☺️☺️

This is splendid. Thank Guy! Could you maybe do a video on how to find the best used BPM? I am struggling so hard with this. More than with anything else. :(

Loved the intro. Thanks for the laugh.

So useful! And we all can enjoy ourselves with a gentle laugh or two! .... a really nice Big Mac! LOL!

When it comes to EQ/compression ordering, personally i'll use an EQ first to cut away anything that's completely unnecessary to the sound, which is usually the very lows and sometimes hissy highs. This means the compressor isn't affected by unnecessary things. I'll do the compression second and then use another EQ in the third slot. This third EQ is the main one used to shape the sound as I like. The reason i do this after the compression is because i'm more likely to change the EQ further down the line, and if the EQ has come before the compression then any changes made to it will affect how the compressor is working, likely meaning i'll need to also re-adjust the compressor.

Haha, so funny! And I learned a lot (again). Genius!

lots of love from India

Hi Guy! Maybe a video about the best woodwinds and brass library as you already done the strings one? Thanks a lot for your videos!

Try Convolution Reverb Pro! You'll Love it!

Sometimes (just occasionally!) those “mistakes” you spot when listening to tracks in solo are actually cool quirky details when put in context with the other parts, so it’s worth checking them both ways. Maybe that F# actually works against the F...

nice video :)

Guy, I think you have your channels reversed somewhere in your audio chain. Watching you edit the mix, you have the snare and HH panned to the left, but in the audio track in the video, they are actually panned to the right.

would you ever do a start to finish series? from making the track 2 mins long pop song style ish, through to mixing and mastering? over 7/8 videos maybe???

wow!!great tutorial.I am ammature in mixing.This video give me an overall idea about orchestral mixing.But my doubt is whether gain staging is needed before these process?anyone please answer my question

Hi Guy, thank you for your great videos. Is there a specific reason why you bounce tracks like the kick track stereo? Is there any advantages opposed to rendering it mono? Thanks Take care

nice.

Heyyyy, you've changed your channel name so I know it's you. Excellent call! :o)

Altiverb 7 -Audio Ease. great IR's

a tip for improving your videos: let us Like them more than once because I really want to do that!!

I've been struggling with mixing the last few weeks. This was a great overview, exactly what I needed! That tip of keeping the piano as the ruler and then "perform" recording with each track was great. I'm certainly going to use that later today on my session!

As it's been mentioned, a full and complicated orchestral composition would be helpful. A handful of typical tracks is one thing but a large track count score is a beast to wrangle in. As a composition goes along being built I find that by the end the track count can be large. Each instrument had a reason for being there but by the end there can be redundancy problems with instruments and frequency ranges. Thin out the instruments? Make them all work together? Quite a puzzle of instruments and frequencies to juggle. It's this that needs to be covered.

Would have started with a static mix then gain staging before going on to the work that you showed in the video?

Thanks, Guy. How did you decide what to put right and what to put left in the stereo field?

You want to first clean your tracks, then level your tracks, then automate the volume for each track, then add the shiny bits. No need to add reverb to a track you won't hear much of in the song.

More mixing videos Guy! Great content ;-)

Thank you so much... If you have multiple Hihats (or claps or snare ecc ecc), did you render in place every single chanel (sound) or the whole group?

Great video Guy - is there a video where you created the initial piece?

which library specifically are you using here Guy? I love that piano and the strings

I mostly use stock effects which I preferred

Guy, if you try to combine recordings with VST sounds, how do you approach Reverb? Is it better to try to have the sound as dry as possible and then reverbing the final Stereo out to have it sound as in same room? Or do you actually prefer to have each instrument to have own sounds/reverbs?

What open back headphones do you like to use?

Hi Guy, thanks for the video. What about mixing orchestral music? And are you sure about the compression on the piano? Sounds weird imo... anymway, thanks a lot, tchin tchin!
