Any good videos about mixing an mastering?

[lmv]

I've been hunting and watching videos about mixing an mastering on Youtube and I don't think the ones I found are very good. Is there any one that particularly impressed you and you keep in your bookmarks? Would you share the link, please? It may be very useful to me. Thanks in advance.

First, I want to ask you what DAW do you use. Many say that it doesn't matter, but it is important to know how to use your DAW very well before you start mixing and mastering. I learned some interesting things from these YouTube channels: @Streaky_com, @inthemix, @TheWavMan, @RadiumRecordsHollywood, @studioonerevealed, there are quite a few useful channels, you have to extract what you need from each one.

Define "good"?

Most seem to want videos that seem impressive but in reality, contain nothing about the real Art of Mixing - often quite the opposite. Mixing is an Artform, not a video game. Therefore it is about feeling and not glamorous at all before the final result. mixing is about building an illusion. If you live in illusion as you make the mix, the result is a delusion - like The Emperor's New Clothes.

It’s great you realize that you did not found them good. Many channels are optimized for clicks and YouTube buzz but it’s not necessarily good advice.

What really stick for me is Robert Babicz. He has some interviews and shows online explaining a bit. Also stimming has good comments and bits that are very useful eye openers.

I think on LinkedIn Learning you will find good video's about mixing/mastering. Price is not do high and you will find a lot about music/sound

Good advice. I never read my DAW's manuals, but I looked at there once and they had instructions for e.g. how the included effects are meant to be used (like what types of things they're for).

The DAW is a product made to enable you to produce music, so certainly the manual will try to explain you how to do it.

And importantly, some of these developers produce their own videos, like:

This is good advice in the sense that it's a good way to learn by attempting to make the best you can using the least amount of plug-ins.

So to practice you would first e.g. try to make as good mix as possible using only volume faders and no EQ etc.

Then you would try the same with volume faders and one EQ per channel.

Then you would try the same with volume faders and two EQs per channel.

Then you would do the same with any amount of EQs per channel + one compressor per channel.

...

Try adding one master reverb, but no channel reverbs.

...

You get the idea.

This should give a very good grasp about what the tools are for.

Some other guy advised to try mixing using one knob -type of plug-ins. If you cannot do it, you haven't learnt yet. https://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/do ... nes-639231
