Hi I am Professional Tom and here's a tutorial of secret EQ techniques. Other producers hate me for showing them to all.

Hi Professional Tom,
I really need an advanced expert professional video on track coloring techniques. Should bass be blue and drums be red? Or is it better to use shades of grey? I am afraid I will never make any progress until I know the official professional approved correct colors to use. The League refuses to share this important information with the rest of us.
Thanks in advance,
Amateur Frantz

Hello soon-to-be professional Frantz! Thanks for the question! This is the type of message I've been waiting for.Frantz wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 9:29 pm Hi Professional Tom,

Great question! Coloring tracks is a tricky thing and many people get it wrong. Fun fact: once upon a time when I was a leader in a League I worked with a pro producer which mixes, overally were professional, but something just wasn't right to my ears. I was thinking about it all night couldn't figure out what was that, that drew my attention. I came back to the studio the next day, we shook hands like only professionals do and we opened a track in a daw.
Something immediately free my attention there. The colors of his instruments/tracks were all over the place! No sense at all, no balance in colors resulted in no punch in the mix.
When I noticed, he immediately knew. He turned red on his face. I looked at him and said: Jerry, you're fired.
I kept his gear as a punishment for this unforgivable mistake (well, I let him keep his Behringer gear).
He left without a word. He knew it was against the rules to do such an unprofessional mistake. I also took his professional badge and put it in the small box on my desk named: PWWPBITTBFMSAUMM which is an abbreviation for "people who were professionals but I took their badges for making stupid and unforgivable mixing mistakes."
So yes I take this seriously and I think this will be a third video on my channel. Thank you for the suggestion, Frantz!
I'm a professional and you can't deny it. If you do, you either were tricked by the League, or you are from the League.

It's a shame box in other words and you don't want to see your name there.

It's a bit tricky but you have to make sure you hit the delete button in your keyboard (or the weird backspace thing in your phone) at the precise moment the silver owl gives his hoot.

I'm posting from my phone but I don't think it's the issue here. And I feel like this forum is run by League folks so I don't expect to get a pro user rank.sjm wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2019 10:35 pmYou click the delete button next to your post.
