MixCoach

Do you think you'd be more creative with your mix with unlimited resources? Or do you think your mix would be better if you had some limitations on it.

Here's another question- which mix would you feel better about?

In my opinion, you absolutely have to have limitations to creatively mix.

In this episode of the podcast we talk about using these limitations as inspiration.

What if what you did in your spare time could help you improve your mixes. That's what we're talking about on this episode of the MixCoach Podcast.

If you want to really "move the needle" on your mixing, the best way to get better is to Mix Consistently, Ask Questions, and Get Feedback. That's why every month at MixCoach Member, we give members a Session Download, a Video Tutorial covering that session, a LIVE Q&A Webinar with Kevin and Jon, and the chance for Mix Feedback from coaches.

This podcast is a little different than most of the MixCoach Podcasts.  It's in depth and quite a bit longer than my regular podcasts.  Let me know what you think of the longer format.

In this episode, I get the opportunity to talk to David about the parallels of mixing in the studio and mixing Front Of House.

We also talk about:

The McGurk Effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtsfidRq2tw   Heil PR22 vs. SM57 (you be the judge) https://youtu.be/G1WcaNiUc28?t=1m13s   If you have questions, go to http://mixcoach.com/questions and leave us questions if you have them.   Also, if you'd like some cool files to mix to get the core of mixing under your belt, a GREAT place (in my humble opinion) is at http://mixcoachmember.com   Thanks for listening  

 

Sometimes when you've mixed a ton of songs and you have a system dialed in.. your mixes are consistently.. you may want to mix things up a bit (if you will forgive the pun).

In this podcast, Jon and I talk about ways to add some newness or freshness to your mixing workflow.  From expensive to free.

This podcast is brought to you by MixCoach Member where we completely solve the "style" scenario that we talk about in the episode.

 

Recently, Janna, Kaelyn and I and i decided to do an “expert” level Lego project.. just for fun… They gave me a Lego replica of a 1962 Volkswagen Camper Van (the most affordable version of my dream car) for my birthday. We were determined to do it all in one day… so we started putting our […]

Sales Skills For Introverted Audio Engineers To a certain extent, all of us engineers are actually a little introverted, right?  I mean we sit in a darkened room in our spare time and work on balancing, eq’ing, and compressing songs while everyone else has gone to bed. So how do you now SELL the skill […]

In this episode of the podcast, Kevin Ward and Joe Carrell talk about plugins.  With so many plugin choices out there, which is the absolute best to purchase. 

Have you ever NOT mixed a song because you didn't think you had the right plugin for the job?  Joe has some insight to help you over that hump... and the solution is much less expensive than you think.

The MixCoach Experience Weekend

I had a very good question came to me through email the other day.  It’s a question I hear pretty often. “What’s the difference in mixing and mastering?” Here was my reply. Mixing is taking all of the individual tracks (individual drums, guitars, vocals, background vocals etc) and crafting a blend using eq, panning, compression etc… […]
